than the pigs in the clover at any rate
The third and last alleged puzzle is the
frisky fox in the soup, which consists
simply of shallow wooden bowl raised
instead of depressed in the middle. On
the middle there is little hollow, and
the trick is to roll the marble up the
incline and make it stick in the hollow.

The betting on the events was pretty
Spirited on the Fourth, owing to the
large crowd, among whom the bloOds of
the two cities were to be found, and
good deal of cash changed hands. The
favorites were beaten that day, except
the old reliable SiIas Wright, and the
betters were kept hustling TO cover the
favOrites in the 2:30 and 2:25 trots, which
required seven and six heats respect
lively to decide. twas an orderly crowd.
The only disturbance that occurred was
when an excited individual under the
Judges stand shouted ''go'' when bad
start was made. The horses went round
to the quarter pole before:they could be
stopped and brought back. Then the
volunteer starter was found and he had
to go. A special officer showed him the
gate and he went.
The members of the association were
all well pleased with the great attend
ance on Thursday, and it was given out

But the Frisky Fox Gets Into

The absorbing problem of the day is
not the single tax or the bachelor ques-
ton, though the single tax may have
been originally intended to apply
to bachelors particularly. The
great question is, "Can you do
these COMPOUNDED puzzles?" The pigs in
the clover puzzle first came out two or
three months ago in the form of wood
en- box about inches in diameter. The
pens were wade of pastebOard and the
pigs were the ordinary "Commy" with
which the small boy plays keeps
in the spring. The puzzle caught
on in good shape, and it
was not long before enterprising
merchants had gotten out miniature
puzzles about the size of silver dollar
in which duckshot did duty for the pigs.
The small puzzles have sold by the
thousands and are to be found now in
nearly every house in the city.

But Splan was not entirely without
warrant for his indignant oratOry. Some
of the races were tediously slow in
starting, mostly because the starter Mr..
Mckinney did not take Splan's advice
and make the fines S25 instead of $50.
A little matter like S. does not bother a

sort for people who are tired OF life.
But the sale is falling off now because
rivals have sprung into the field and
so many are learning how to do
the trick. Skill in the manipulation
of the pigs has progressed so far that
the question now with a majority OF
those who give. their attention to the
puzzle, is not can you do. but how often
can you do it in minute? Several
young men about town have reduced it
to a certainty that their average speed
is once in thirty seconds. They will
take bets to put the pigs in and take
them out again twenty times In ten
minutes by the watch. The trick IN
solving the puzzle is to stop the. pigs
from rolling around the circles
as much as possible and make the run
laterally across the space. And you
must not try to put them all in at once:
Get the five pigs opposite the gate OF
the outside circle. Tip two or three
into the next inclosure. They will roll
down opposite the second gate. Now

race; John SpIan stood on the track

shippers silly; boys sold John Splan's

book sold was positively the last; John
Splan dashed about the track i'll his

manded that the other jockeys be fined
sos each for getting the lead of John
Span on the start. John Splan finally
succeeded in distancing one of the best
horses on the track. Then John Splan
retired coveredwith perspiratiOn, glory
and dust. At the next meeting he will

and chat 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
comfortable 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 it for the recep-
ton of the feed which is to follow
Should 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 al

gravelly land the soil may be first loos-
ened with sharp pointed crowbar, after.
which with shovel or scoop the post holes
are easily dug. However, Florida farmers
will have butlittleif any trouble from this
character of soil Among new inventions
designed to tighten the labor of fence
making are post hole diggers made pur-
posely for the work. The patent post
digger is double round pointed shovel
or spade, the two parts of which arecon-
nected like the two blades of a pair of
scissors. In using this instrument it is
plunged into the soil the length of the
blades some ten or twelve inches, and
after COMPRISING the earth by the lever
age afforded the jointed handles, the
contents are lifted and dropped on the
surface. A few plunges will clear hole
all ready to receive the post.
A plan that is now coming into general
use in Florida, and one which will save
many dollars, is to plant live oak trees,
about FIVE feet apart, along the line OF
fence, and when the trees attain sufficient
size fasten the wires to them.

ing openings between them, but pota-

LIVING POSTS FOR WIRE FENCE.

One is liable, unless careful, to split
posts when driving them in place. It is
important to strike the post squarely on
the top and not at one corner or side.
Numbered with objections still urged
to the now common wire fence is the
fact that stock, not observing the barbed
wire, are liable to run against it and in
,iure themselves In the cut here given
for which thanks are due to Prairie
farmers shown lath suspended on the
top wire, which renders the same plainly
seen by stock. This illustration also
shows the planting of trees close beside
the posts, to take the place of said posts
when these have given out and the trees
have attained sufficient size.

Feeding Farm Horses.

veterinary surgeon recommends
that those who have charge of horses,
especially farm horses, be taught that
the stomach of horse is not like the
rumen of COW, a mere receptacle for
food, but an essential organ of digestion
of limited capacity, which does not need
to be crammed in order to perform its
proper functions, and that it cannot be
SO treated without danger to the animal;
that the teeth of the horse are provided
for the purpose of masticating the food.

Who sit in our households to-day:
Who are glad when they brighten for Others
The hours that go drifting away.

Their hearts hold the fullness of bliss
That banishes shadows and sadness,
And what need we ask more than this
But-how can this happiness be kept?
