went to the hill in default Of their fines.
The aggregate OF fines and costs assessed
was $37l, OF which sum $3.50 10
was paid In cash. sThe fines ranged
from 81 and costs to $50 and

Feeding Farm Horses.

An English veterinary surgeon rec
ommends that those who have charge of
horses, especially farm horses, should be
taught that tho stomach OF horse is not
like the rumen Of a COW, nero recepta-
Gle for food. but an essential organ Of
digestion of limited capacity, which does
not need to be crammed in order to per-
form its proper functions, and that it
cannot be 80 treated without danger to
the animal; that the teeth Of the horse
are provided for the purpose Of masti-
eating the food, and that food which
does not require mastication should be
sparingly, if ever, used. He further
recommends that no horse be put to
work Immediately after full meal and
where horse has done heavy days
work it should be allowed to stand in
the stable until it is cool and comfort
able before being fed. A little water
may be given, and if little good hay
be put into the rack it will occupy his
attention, and besides requiring proper
mastication will further have the effect
to slightly stimulate the stomach to
secretion and prepare 1t for the recep-
ton OF the feed which is to follow.
Should q horse require more food than
usual to supply the extra waste of tissues
caused by hard work give it by all
means, but let it be in excess in its
albuminoids or nutritious constituents,
and let the horse be fed oftener and not
in increased quantities at time. -Me,o

WHAT THE CHIMNEY SANG.


Orsr the chimney tho night wind sang,
And chnnted melody no ono know:
And tbs woman stopped and. her -babe oh,
tossed, ',:'
And thought CT the ono sho had long sine,
lost,
And said. as her toardrops back she forced.
u hate tho wind in tho chimney"
Over tho chimney the night wind sang
ana chanted melody no one knew,
And the children said. as they closer drew.
Ills some witch that Is cleaving tho black
night through,
IT'S a fairy trumpet that just then blow.
And we fear the wind in the chimney
Over the chimney the night wind sang.
And chantcd melody no one know;
And the man, as he sat on his hearth below.
Said to himself: ut will surely snow.
And fuel is dear and wages low.
And I'll stop the leak in the chimney.p
Over the chimney the night wind sang.
AND chanted melody no one know;
but the poot listened and smiled, for he
Was man and woman and child, all three.
And said: cit is Gods own harmony,
This wind we hear in the chimney"

WISE WORDS.
Books are embalmed minds.

Gradual gains are the only natural
gains.
Keep ahead of rather than behind the
times
Use your own brains rather than those
of Others
When a cloud arises be sure aud look
after its silver lining.
The best way of avenging myself
is not to become like the wrong doer.
Our first impressions are full of
errors Time is the only sure proof

Men often judge the person but not
the cause. which is not justice but
malice.
No one so old that he may not live a
year. none so young but he may die to-
morrow.
He who gives life the best possible
employment affords it the most possible
enjoyment.
The worlds history is divine poem,
of which the history of every nation is a
canto, and every man word.
The darkest hour in the history of anv
man, is when he sits down to study how
to get money without honestly earning
it.
1t is wonderful what strength and
boldness of purpose aud energy will
come from the feeling that we are in the
way of duty.
Men are like trees; each one must put
forth the leaf that is created in him.
Education is only like good culture; 1t
changes the size but not the sort.
No one needs hope to rise above his

Some Rnrc Stamps.

Many interesting associations are con.
nected with the stamps of Peru, whose
number now is almost legion, since they
have been surcharged by the Peruvians
aud restamped by the Chilians, and
finally taken back into the Peruvian fold
again; with the stamps of the Sandwich
Islands, the first issues of which are
worth $500 each; or the double stamps
of Geneva and the classical stamps of
the Ionian Islands, with their Grecian
inscriptions. If VIC want strange in.
scriptions to decipher, we will find
plenty to interest us in the stamps of the
native States of India, China or For
mosa; If we want colors that are pleas.
ing to the eye, we turn to the latter
Issues of Japan, Persia or Siam, but il
we want to adorn our collections with
canoes, we would always select the
stamps of Guatamela or Heliogoland.
The stamps Of Guatamela are very
suggestive. Guatamela is republic in
Central America like our own. Tho
bird in the center of the stamp, which
looks like parrot, is q quezal, which.
no matter how tenderly it is cared for

Sheep HusDandry.

Numbered with many valuable papers
that have been read before the Wisccon-
sin Farmers Institute is one by Harrison
Cole, of Dane County, to beginners in
sheep husbandry. Following are ex-
traits that can hardly fail to interest
prospective sheep growers:
In deciding the breed be guided by
the branch of sheep husbandry you in
tend to follow. If you wish to raise
lambs to sell at from eight to twelve
weeks old you must have one or both
parents of the coarse wooded variety fos
the sake of early maturity. If your OBJ
ject is wool and mutton there is no breed
that is equal to the Merinos. They will
herd in large folks better and do we'll ON
less feed than any other breed. In
starting flock it is generally the most
profitable to buy the best of the kind,
but ii you lack means the next best
thing IS healthy old sheep from large

Planting an Asparagus B.d.

Tho best plan for obtaining early re.
suits is to secure ono or two year old
asparagus roots and then plant them in
rich soil and give good aud clear Guilt
walton. The rows should be four feet
apart and the plants not less than two
feet apart in the row. II you want the
asparagus for your own use, do not set
the crowns more than four inches deep,
that is, have them covered with foul
inches of good rich soil when the bed 10
levellcd off after planting. If the soil is
light and naturally we'll drained it need
not be plowed more than ten or twelve
inches for the reception of the plants,
adding little manure at the time, then
apply rs much as you please over the
crowns or on the surface of the bed. The
strength of the manure will be carried
down by the rains. as rapidly as it is
needed by the roots. 1t is waste of
manure to bury it deeply, even fol
asparagus, although it is usually recon-
mended in preparing ground for this
vegetable. In selecting variety for Gull
tivation you can scarcely go amiss, for all
the varieties offered in nurserymen's aud
scedsmcn's catalogues IRE one and the
same thing under diffescnt names II
you bury Conover's colossal you will find
some sprouts. as they appear above
ground, are Of purplish color, Others
pale red, with an occl ional one grecnish
white, showing that there is no one dis
tinct variety known under this name. II
you secure good. healthy roots, and give
them good or extra care, you need not
fear the results. "Giant asparagus" is
only obtained by what may be termed
giant cultivation. -Mew York Sun.

Lcaky Tin Roofs.

Farmers who live remote from any
place where there is tinsmith ere often
troubled by leaks in the roofs, or cave
troughs. Any farmer can repair them
and make them stronger than before.
Find the leak, and apply a good coat of
rather thick paint; put on piece of
old bagging or coarse muslin, then a
second coat of paint, rubbing it we'll in,
and smoothly. Then cover with piece
Of tin, mailing it down tightly, cloae to
tho edge, using large-headed tacks;
snose known as % or 5000. Swede's iron
lacks are best. Then give another coat
of paint, and the leak is not only re-
paired, but that part will last much
longer than the rest. Old fruit cana are
just the thing for the purpose; set them
on top of hot stove till the solder ia
melted, and then flatten them out.
