FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
How to Deal with a salky Horse.

Nv" - v Nv - sAN
New YorS, Times: 1t is a common
thing to "see horses that have been
baked a few times turn their heads
and look back as 500 as they are a
little frustrated. This is because they
have been whipped and are afraid of
what is behind them" Again and again,
in his book, Mr.. Rarcy dwells on the
Importance of being gentle with tho
horse; approaching him gently and de-
liberately, so as not to startle OF excite
him. He speaks of the necessity of
having entire control over ones solf, be-
cause the horse, being a timid animal,
is easily bewildered and frightened,
and is thus made unfit to understand
what is required of him. Patting and
caressing have n quietlng effect and arc
conducive to understanding the animal
and the man. The horse is quick to
learn and quicker TO recognize one who
can command him.
The baking horse should first be
pacitied and then his attention diverted
from the thing that made him balk. A
good suggestion is TO lift one Of his
forefcot from the ground and tap ii
gently several times with a stone. II
have never" says the writer, failed to
start a horse in that very simple way,
and l have on several occasions had
balky horses which would exhaust the
patience of all former owners"
Another method that will often sue.
coed when all others fail is to unhitch
the horse, lead him n little way, then
pull the vehicle to him and hitch him
up again. Never jerk or pull at he bit
of a balky horse. BY all refrain
from whipping him. Those methods
only make him worse. Apportion his
load to the distance to be Travelled and
the condition of the road, and never
under any circumstances, overload your
horse,

Spring Chickens.

j. II. sykes, of Audrain county, Mo-,
gives his opinion Of the care and man.
agement Of chickens in the following
article to the Prairie Farmer:
In raising spring chickens select eggs
of large stock. Not Shanghai; they are
too naked to stand the chilling rains
and cold. See that the coops are kept
clean. Give dry sand, or dry leached
wood ashes, to wallow in, Or sifted soft
coal ashes. Feed on good fine-meal
dough. If 1T purges, brown it a little
before mixing until the purging abates.
Give clean, cool water. See that the
vessels contain nothing filthy. A little
scalded milk curd once a day will facili-
tate the growth OF the chicks. If rats
infest the premises close the front OF
the coops with screen doors; it very
cold, with sheet-iron doors at night. If
the weather is very warm the sides or
walls of the coops should be of SCREEN
wire cloth. The chicks will smother in
. tight coop. Chicks from sn.aii eggs
are always small and are too light for
carly market.

THE LORDS MINK FARM.n
How the Noble Lord Was Taken in by
Young Irish Lawyer,

How the Noble Lord Wa Taken in by q
Young Irish Lawyer.
C. A. Hastings. a western merchant
who dined at the Palmer last evening,
told a story at the expense of an En-
glish nobleman who was in this country
last year:
"Lord Wynford stopped at North
Platte, Neb.," related Mr.. Hastings,
during his tour Of the prairies. He
seemed greatly pleased with the wild
west and intimated that he would like
to invest some money in something
good. There was o smart young Irish
lawyer in the town whose parents had
had some unpleasant dealings with
Lord Wynford in the old country. This
young lawyer had lived in North Platte
about two years. He came there to eX-
paper. To his disappointment his farm
was nothing but q prairie dog town.
"You could not raise ever sage brush
on the claim, so close together were tho
burrows Of the little animals. He had
about given up all hopes of disposing of
his land when he learned that Lord
Wynford was looking for a good invest
mont. Then he called upon the wealthy
foreigner and offered for sale what he
called the most profitable industry in
America He told the British lord that
he had been ten years establishing a
mink farm, and just as the enterprise
was beginning to coin money he was
obliged to go south on accoun of his
poor health. He explained how the
minks wero raised, how their skins
were disposed of, and the great demand
for mink fur in this country. The
young 1rishman pledged Lord Wynford
to say nothing of the deal, as his mink
farm was only known to a few who
were in similar enterprises. Then he
drove his guest out to the prairie dog
farm.
Here an extensive tract of land, des-
t1tute Of trees and alive with little ami
mails that burrowed in tho ground and
barked like a small dog, was thoroughly
inspected. The possibilities of furnish
ing the west with mink fur in the au-
tumn delighted Lord Wynford, and re-
turning to the city he gave $500 for the
dog town. He owns it now, and the
good-for-nothing place is called "the
lords mink farm"

Nightmares in Russia.

Some time ago midwife of Warsaw,
Skublinskaya by name, WAS brought TO
Justice. with several of her conductors.
for the crime of killing illegitimatc
children. The woman and her helpers
called themselvcd The Society of
Angels" aud engaged in the atrocious
work of "despatchfng the little cnes to
heaven" Of course Tor a certain con-
sideration paid them by the unfor-
tunate mothers or ttpir friends. This
fact aroused a discussion in all the
Russian papers on the fate of illegiti-
mate children in that country. The
mortality of such waits was found TO
be over so per cent, even among those
in the Government asylums in st.
Petersburg and Moscow. Those asy-
lums keep the children for only n short
time, and send them to villages to be
raised in the families of peasants.
There they die in large numbers. But
the number of such children rs are
despatched" directly by professional
murderers like Skublinskaya can hard
ly be estimated. Only about three
weeks ago asimilar'Society OF Angels
was discovered in Wilma. The fate of
the unfortunate infants has raised
the question as to the causes for the
prevalence of such Il crime. The
papers hint, as broadly as the strict
ness of the censor of the press allows.
that the cruel laws with reference to
waits are at the bottom of the whole
trouble. An illegitimate child in Rus
STA, if it ever grows upv has no stand
ing before the law. No matter what his
abilities CT virtues. if by chance or by
natural endowment, he happens to be-
possessed of any. there is no hope and
no prospect for him to do any good in
the world or for himself. The law will
not recognize him as n member of So
ciety. and he is tossed about and buff
fctted until he finds his way into some
gang of criminals passing their lives
in a mine in the Ural mountains. In
view of these facts it is no wonder that
sinful mothers regard it rs a benefit
for their children to be despatched
to heaven before they grow up to live
in ignominy and suffering on earth,
aud that angels like Skublinskaya
should be found who have no scrultes
to help sinful mothers Kidding them
selves of their children,

horticulture.

Tho first apple tree planted in Ohio,
they say. can DO seen alive and vigorous
on Jerome Vinccnt's farm in Marietta.
1t was planted in 1910.
A single lemon tree in Calooshatchic,
Fla, has on it 5000 lemons, many Of
which weigh q pound each. 1t is pre-.
dicted that Florida will soon become
the greatest lemon growing country in
the world.
Spraying has n advantage, at least.
and that is, if properly done, it will
lessen materially the quantity of wormy
fruit.
At no time is it advisable to allow
old, dead wood to remain in the tree.
In addition to %dis6guring the tree it
often tends to breed disease.
Does it surprise you to be told that
vines about q house do not make q build
ing damp. but, on tho contrary, thoir
myriads of tendrils and root-like shoots
absorb every particle of moisture and
miasma, rendering tho surface of the
building dry and purified.
In setting out a tree, retain MS many
small fbrous roots as possible and
spread and straighten them out as much
as possible; then see that good fertile
dirt come in close contact with these
roots.
One of tho best locations for a garden
is to turn over a clover sod; now apply
thirty bushels of air-slacked lime per
acre Tor proportionately), and then
cross-plough tho land in tho spring.
Tho ground must be we'll narrowed and
made fine before planting the seed,
however.
The potato beetle, of course, will BIO

son his meal with paris green, being
careful not to make the mixture too
strong. 1t is tho bugs you want to kill
and not the vines. Tho quantity of
paris green hat will settle . bug is OK
ceedingly small. Hence there is no ne
cessity of a strong mixture. One Of our
most prominent farmers and agricul-
tural writer's has not used paris green,
however, for a number of years. He
cu~ltivates twice a week and attaches to
the end Of the single tree q light brush.
This brushes off the beetles ahead of
the cultiyator and many of them arc
killed. But the paris green diet is by
all odds the most efficient Of anything.
Push the growth as much as possible
and sprinkle with paris green.

Opposite a little railroad station
about five miles below jackson, Miss,

bushes hung q white rag, says a writer
in tho New York Sun. A dozen Of us
sat with our feet hanging off the plat

of shooting at that rag. 1t was a hot
