RIGHI.HANDEDNESS.

The Natural Way of Protecting the Vain
able Part of Our Bodies.
Primitive man, being by nature 9
: fighting animal. fought for the mos,
part at first with his great canine
teeth, his nails and his fists; till in
process of time he added to those early
and natural weapons the further per.
suasions of club or shillalah. He
also fought, as Darwin has conclusively
shown. in the main for the possession
of the ladies of his kind against other
members of his own sect and species.
And if you fight you soon learn to pro-
tect the most exposed and vulnerable
portion of your body. Or. if you don't,
natural selection manages it for you
by killing you off as an immediate con-
sequence.
To the boxer. wrestler, or hand-to-
hand combatant the most vulnerable
portion is undoubtedly the heart A
hard blow. well delivered on the left
breast, will easily kill, or at any rate,
stun even a strong man. Hence from
an early period. men have used. the
right hand to fight with and have en-
ployed the left arm chiefly to cover
the heart and parry blow aimed at
that specially vulnerable region. And
when weapons of offense and defense
supersede mere fists and teeth it is the
right hand that grasps the spear or
sword, while the left holds over the
heart for defense the shield or buckler.
From this simple origin, then, the
whole vast difference of right and left
in civilized life takes its beginning.
At first, no doubt. the superiority of
the right hand was only felt in the
manner of fighting. But that alone
gave it distinct pull. and paved the
way, at last, for the supremacy else
where. For when weapons came into
use. the habitual employment of the
right hand to grasp the spear. sword
or knife made the nerves or muscles of
the right side far more obedient to the
control Of the will than those of the
left The deXterity thus acquired by
the right-see how the word "dex-
terity" implies this fact-made it more
natural for tho early hunter and artifi-
Ger to employ the same hand preferen-
TALLY in the manufacture of flint
hatchets, bows and arrows. and all the
other manifold activities of savage
life. 1t was the hand with which he
grasped his weapon; it was therefore
the hand with which he Clipped it.
To the end, however. the right hand
remains especially 1.-The hand in which
you hold your knife; and that is
exactly how our own children to this
day decide the question which is
which. when they begin TO know their
right hand from their left for practical
purposes. Magazine.

Valuable Practical Suggestions on tn

Valuable Practical Suggestions on the
Saving of Feed.
One of the principal items of work
in summer is to save full supply of
feed to keep the stock during the win
ter 1t is not only the quantity but
the quality and variety that must be
considered. Ii the stock are to be
wintered in good condition. economic
ally, it is important that the feed
should be of good quality, while a
variety lessons the cost. No one ma
terial Is a complete food in itself, and
If depended upon alone will require a
larger quantity than would be neces-
sary if good variety were provided.
While stock ought to be kept in good
condition. at the same time it is an
item to do this as economically as pos
sible; and with good quality of food
and a variety by which good combina-
lions make up more complete ra-
ton; this can be done at less cost.
Especially with forage, the time of
cutting and the manner of storing
away will make a considerable differ
ence in the quality. Wheat and oats
straw, sheaf oats. hay and corn-fodder
are the principal materials used for
feeding during the winter or whsn
the stock do not have access to the
pastures: and with all of these
the quality may be raised or lowered
by the time or stage at which it is cut
) and the management given in keeping
*the feed cut when wanted. One of the
worst mistakes usually made is in
allowing them to get to ripe. losing in
this way more or less of nutriment and
making in its place woody fiber. The
manner of handling affects the quality.
and if the best quality Of food is Sc
cured 1t is necessary to cut at the
proper stage and to cure and store so
that it will keep in as good condition
as possible. Then with good variety
both of grain and forage the cost OF
wintering stock can be reduced. And
the work must be done now while
the crops are being harvested.
The food necessary to keep the
stock should be secured from the farm.
1t is only in exceptional cases that the
farmer can afford to purchase food OF
any kind, unless we except bran and
linseed or oil meal To do this SC

A DREAM OF GOLD.
How q Quarter With a Whole in 1t Was
Found After Many Years.

In 1868 Lizzie NJ. Trask, of Vienna,
was dressmaking in Lewiston. She
came into possession of gold twenty
five-cent piece with hole in it; this she
showed as curiosity to her friends.
At that time she had little niece two
years old, daughter of Jonathan p.
Trask, now the wife OF Leman Butler.
trader in Mount Vernon. The little
coin Lizzie once showed to her niece
when she was a very small girl, telling
her that she would give it to her when
she was old enough to take care of it.
Lizzie died twelve years ago. In her
possession was good ladies' wallet
with several compartments. This
wallet her mother used until her death
seven years ago. Then James. a
brother of Lizzie's had it, and it has
been in constant use almost daily ever
since, either by him or his wife. The
little gold coin was never seen after
Lizzie's death or before for several
years by her friends, and its where
abouts were not known and in fact its
existence had passed from their men,
Dry. A few days ago Mrs. Butler
made her parents visit, stopping
with them several nights.
While there she dreamed that she
saw her Aunt Lizzie's wallet and that
it was faced with green and in a GER
tain compartment she found the little
gold coin which she saw so many years
ago. On telling her mother her dream
she was informed that Lizzie did have
a wallet which answered her descrip-
ton and that her Uncle James had it.
The wallet Addie had never seen. She
then visited her uncle and told her
dream to her aunt. who laughed at
the idea of any thing being in it other
than what she and her husband had
placed there. But at Adde'S earnest
solicitation she produced it and as
soon as Addie saw it she exclaimed:
THAT is the same wallet that saw in
my dream" and pointed out the COM
partment that held her treasure. She
then took a needle, and, running it to
the bottom, she drew forth small
piece of newspaper and in it was in
deed a gold quarter with a hole in it.

In some of the Western States the

ence in Iowa with the first. and shor,
one with the other in Kansas and here
in Missouri it is the first named, and i,
seems to be in many fields. When
cookie burrs came in Iowa, but little
was done to eradicate them and grad.
ually they got strong hold on every
farm. Many sowed their fields to
small grain and then to grass. almost
ceasing to raise corn for few yeaps.
We found it paid best to be very care
full in blowing the corn to cut out and
cover up every one possible and then
In the usually leisure time just after
the harvest, to go through the corn
with the hoes, taking two rows at q
time cutting every one out In three
years We were completely rid of them.
But it was necessary to be watchful
afterwards. as seed is so easily carried
on stock and scattered over fields
again. There is no good excuse for
any farmer raising cookie burrs. but it
takes vigilance to prevent their
growth and spread. Having farmed in
one locality for thirty years which we
might say way was one peculiarly well
adapted to them, we know whereof we
speak. ia.
On going to Kansas and purchasing
d farm, We found it covered with the
gay. yellow-colored sunfower, and
while not so obnoxious as the Iowa
burrs. they were voted a nuisance at
once, and one to be abated. The oat
and wheat fields were thick with them.
These we allowed to grow together
until the harvest" The fields were
then plowed, being very careful that
|! all were turned under that had
grown up after the crop was cut. and
watch was'kept until frost time, for any
possible missed one. In the corn, the
same measures were adopted as with
the burrs, except that it is but little
use to cut off with hoes, as the stubs
grow quickly again, and pulling up is
safest, unless it is quite late in the
season. There being no fences, and
the roadsides quite smooth and level,
they were moved, thus checking their
growth, besides securing quite an
amount of hay. As their blossoms are
quite conspicuous, and our farms being
level. it could all be taken in at
glance. 1t was really but little trouble
to get rid of them in a great measure,
and our second and last season found
but very few to contend with, and we
knew of none going to seed either
season.
We were much surprised to find land
close to the county town, which had
sold at rates running from 500 to $3.50
an acre. covered with them almost to
the exclusion of any crop, and the
roadsides along otherwise fine and
valuable farms standing thick with
them, and higher than the backs of
the teams traversing them. Every
farmer might rid his own premises of
them and little concerted action
might do the same for the whole
county. AS to this locality we are
only an experimenter yet, but If we
own farm here, among the things
we shall not raise will be these two
weeds.-Cor. American Rural Home.
