Sunlight for Farm Stock.

Those who believe in sunlight for
domestic animals. as well as for hui
mans, will concur in what DR.. Rev
nolds says on the subject. He thinks
the value of sunlight to farm stock is
not sufficiently appreciated. Barns
and stables might be so arranged as to
allow free access of sun to the farm
stock. The tie-up should always be
upon the sunny side of the barn, and
windows put in near to each other. so
that abundance of sunlight may be ad-
mitted. During the pleasant days such
tie-ups would become warm and com.
Portable, serving to a considerable ex-
tent, for food. The colder it is the
more food viii be required to keep the
animal warm and continue its growth.
Il the sun keeps the barn warm part of
the time less food will be required to
maintain the animal temperature. Then
the effect of the sunlight itself is bene-
fetal to the stock, making it more
healthy and vigorous. Christian at
Work,

Conditions and Precautions Necessary to
Retard Decay.
The orchardist who raises fruit ex-
;ensively for market can afford to build
apartments suited to his needs, but the
average farmer. who only seeks to have
a liberal supply for family use, must
depend upon cellar or garret for stor-
age. The proper conditions for retard-
ing decay are: an even. cool tempera-
ture Ga few degrees above freezing
point), and then abstain from handling
the fruit. Moisture in connection with
heat always hastens decomposition, but
a moderate amount of the former in
conjunction with a low temperature
preserves the fruit plump and juicy,
and perhaps retains the flavor. When
the crop is spread out thinly on Slated
shelves, one may notice the premon-
tory symptoms at once, and remove all
such without delay. Handling the sound
specimens is thus avoided, and as one
rotten apple will soon convey the cor
rupting influence to its neighbors, the
supply of good fruit can be retained
much longer by weekly inspection
each specimen of valuable
varieties in soft paper unquestionably
tends to preserve them and retain the
beautiful tints. buJ it prevents one
from examination Of their condition as
they approach maturity, X Josiah

One of the perplcying problems Of life to
the man who cannot handle II razor upon
his own face is the unreasonable and Ag
grnvating habit which the average barber
has of rubbing soap into his victims chin
until the skin Is in Il state Of irritation and
the bone aches with the pressure Of mus
cnlar fingers. The barber says that the
process renders the hair soft, but Mt this
point science takes issue with him, and
says that he skin alone is affected The
victim groans, changes BARRIERS in vain
and finally settles down to the conviction
that he must endure this barbarous mas
snge or let his beard grow. The process
seems to he mere tradition, n sort of trade
fetish, and no amount Of persuasion will
induce the operator to exchange his harsh
fingers for the more gentle brush, unless
the victims form an association for the
protection Of the chin or the amclioration
Of its sulIcrings. New York Sun.

young lady who has just returned
from the widest parts of the wild west
tells a good story on herself that goes to
prove that there is II good deal in the say
ing about not Judging temperatures. She
was staying on ranch Oh" day she
went alone for long ride She finally
came to the bank of II dry aver bed and
rode up the canyon, In the northwest she
saw cloud from which n heavy rain wns
falling AS it was being rapidly driven to
ward her by the wind she turned and put
her horse in galop. The bel of the river
was hard and sandy and her horse skim
med along rs if thoroughly enjoying the
run.
AS she turned bend she looked back
and the cloud was almost overhead She
/ brought her whip down sharply across her
horse and turned TO look back once more,
when what was her horror to see II wall of
water six or eight feet high rushing toward
her. She turned her horse diagonnlly
across the river bottom and began to put
the whip with might and main. Her horse,
now thoroughly aroused, dashed madly
forward, us, with whitcned lips and blanch.
nearer she was getting to high ground,
but faster and faster the water approach
ed, its front boiling and foaming in its
rush, and casting sprays high in the air as
it struck the groInd,
Suddenly the water was shut from her
sight by small island that she had not
noticed until it ioomcl up between herself
and the body of approaching water. The
island was II hundred yards above her, and
toward the water. She turned her horse
sharply toward it, and urging him with
whip and spur forced him on. She had
almost reached it when the water struck
the other side of the island with II roar
that so startled her horse that he came to
dead stand and she was hurled forward
Almost before she struck the ground the
water surged around the island As she
gave up hope she was caught around the
waist and lifted in front of II man on horse
back, who in n few minutes had her in
| safety Her horse had reached the road,
and after she was rested her rescuer
brought it to her ana helped her mount,
For the first time she noticed him. He
was fully six feet tall and broad shoulder
ed He wore "A full beard, and while very
rough looking was very handsome, She
thanked him for saving her life, but he
hardly spoke word, yet did not seem EN-
