The Cowboy Paid His Fare.

just begun to enjoy the sport of
running the train IN the rough
region, aud at one of the stations
a formidable specimen OF that
tough human boarded the cars
The conductor came along punching
the tickets, and this cowboy did
not pay any attention to him. At
last the conductor laid his hand on
the cowboys shoulder, and SAID,
"Ticket, please The cowboy

out his revolver and pointed it at

DON'T EAT HASTILY.
THE HABIT MAY RUIN YOU AS 1T
RUINRD NAPOLEON.

1t is a mistake to eat quickly.
MastIcation performed in haste
m ust be imperfect, even with the
best of teeth, and due admixture
of the salivary secretion with the
food cannot take place.
When a crude mass of made
ouately crushed muscular fiber, or
undivided solid material of any
description, is thrown into the
stomach, it acts as mechanical
irritant, and sets up a condition IN
the mucous membrane lining OF
that organ which greatly impedes,
if it does not altogether prevent
the process OF digestion.
When the practice of eating
quickly aud filing the stomach
with unprepared food is habltual'
the digestive organ is rendered in
capable Of performing its proper
functions, says Medical Classics.

food than would be necessary un'

or the 81 stem suffers from lack OF

Those animals which we're in'

Illumination or provided with giz

apologize for reminding our readers
of facts so fam iliar. The matter
may seem a small one, but it is moi
so.
Just as man may 60 on for years

under an infection of hurried din
ners, and endure the consequent
loss of health, without knowing
why he is not well, or how easily
the cause of his illness might be
remedled.
The habit of eating fast and
carelessly is supposed to have

most critical occasions Of his life

thinking of Oklahoma and its

the train reached Edmond station
he was so overcome by thirst that
be could not sleep. He left his
hiding place, therefore, and went
TO the railroad tank for water. Be

drink the train pu lied out and left
him behind. He was soon asleep,
however, under big tree not far
from the station. Having retired
very late, he was in no haste to

CARE OF FOALS.

Every spring a great many colts
are lost at foaliDg time or within a
few days after, either through
gross carelessness and neglect, or
lack Of knowledge as to what
should be done under certain
circumstances. The following from
the catalogue OF an experienced
horse breeder may be of value to
many of our readers; "The fol-
lowing conditions should be closely
observed-1st. The mare and colt
must have a thoroughly dry place
to he on, unless the mare fOals
late in warm summer weather. I'd.
As soon as the colt stands and
suck freely, then the bowels must
move freely. They ought to move
within six or eight hours after
birth - this is imperative. The
first excrement is very gummy, and
is sometimes impossible tor the
colt to void it without assistance.
The stralning brings on milan
nation of the bowels very rapidly.
The outward indications of con
stipatiOn are switching of the tail,
pointing toward the flank with the
nose, and uneasin ess of tie hind
legs. | have found the safest plan
is to make it a rule to inject each
colt during the first half day of its
| life with about halt a teacupiul OF
raw linseed oil in a pint OF warm
CASTLE soap-suds, or warm molasses
and cream, mixed half and half,
will answer the purpose. II in
great pain, it may be allayed by
an injection of half a teaepoonful
of laudanum in a teacup OF warm
water and outward applications OF
hot fannels OF mustard and vine
car plasters, rubbed into the hair
on the belly. Laudanum must not
be given to a new born colt through
the stomach unless the bowles are
free and OPEN"
We have known of many foal
being killed by an overdose OF
laudanum given internally for
cOstiventst Some do not seem to
. know ho's lille of such medicine
the stomach &C new born fosl can
stand. We have been bothered
sometimes with scOursin the new
born toal, where the mares had
been grained and gave more OF
richer milk than the colt could
digest for the first few days. In
such cases we would milk the mare
a little three or four times day
until the colt got over the sconrs
and gained sufficient strength to
take full rations.-NGtiOnaI Horse

FARM and HOUSEHOLD.
OUR COWS MILK.


The woman who sells the most
milk or butter is not always realiz'
ing the most benefit from one COW,
but rather the one who secures the
most nourlshing and palatable adj
ditlons to the daily fare, additions
which take the place of desserts
for which money must be paid out
A pint of milk. one egg, two
tablespoons of sugar, one oil
cocoanut, and a tablespoon OF Hour,
baked in one crust till it creams
not curdles, will make a delicious
pie; but if you sell that pint OF
milk for four cents, and in It's
place purchase berries or some
other expensive dessert, the money
ey will be on the wrong side OF
the balance sheet.

er extreme and try to use all the
