Altogether she looked SO very tempt

nine Arerach Amrricnn.

Twenty years ago the interest mani
tested in America towards athletic sports
was, in comparison with that in other
countries, feeble and experimental. But
now it may be conceded that America
takes a most active part in the sports of
the field, the turf and the water. Crowds
of twenty thousand daily witnessing the

in the physical stamina of the average
American. What for so long time de-
tered the freer exercise in these pastimes
were the dangers to life and limb from
hurts. bruises, sprains, cuts. wounds and
abrasions, which not only disabled but dis
figured. The interest and participation
in these sports increased as soon MS true
remedy was found, and St. Jacobs oil is
now known as the best and surest for
this purpose.

FEEDING AND WATERING.

The frequency of feeding has gradually
decreased until at the present time it hai
narrowed down to feeding either twice o,
three times day, says Farm and Home
The tendency at the present time is very
strongly toward emitting the MONDAY
meal and feeding the cows only morning
and night, allowing them day of resi-
in which to remasticate and digest the
morning meal, the same as they have al.
ways been allowed night of rest for the
evening meal. A recent census Of experl.
ment station directors showed chat nearly
two-thirds were feeding but twice day.
The same remark applies to watering.
Twice DAY is sufficient in all cases, and
and where green fodder is given once
day is usually enough. This allows a
very economical use of the farmers time.
He can feed, milk and clean the stables
the first thing in the morning and 90
about his other business for the rest OF
the forenoon; few minutes spent in
watering at noon, and he can leave them
again until night.
as to whether warm or cold water
should be given, doctors have decidedly
disagreed. Many practical farmers adj.
duce proof from their own experience
that warm water pays. 1t is at least
noteworthy contribution to the literature
of this subject, that out of four stations
which have tested the subject in the most
careful manner, three have found no gain
by warming, and the other gain which
at the utmost amounts to less than fifty
cents per COW per winter. There is
growing belief among those who have
most carefully studied the subject that
the question is not one of warm OF cold
water, but rather of warm or cold barns
If the animal is well housed in good
warm stables, warming the water will be
of no advantage. But if The barn is full
of cracks, and the animals are compelled
to drink out of doors and stand shiverine
in the cold afterward, or are kept in
open sheds, or still worse, allowed to
warm the prairie, everything in the nature
of warmth which can be gotten into them
will show an efect.-Maionaz Dairyman

CuRRANTs.

There is no other fruit so common on
the farm as the currant. It's hardness
and adaptability to all conditions ac-
counts for this to considerable extent,
while the excellent quality of the fruit
makes it most dessrvedly popular with
all. Were it,not so hardy and tenacious
of life, it would rot be so commonly
found Oh the farm, for as a rule the care
given it is very slight A row of bushes
is usually found along the fences, or be-
tween the apple trees, where the roots
are bound with ever encroaching sod and
the whole institution smothered by weeds
and grass. They will continue to exist
under all these disadvantages for years,
Like all othert per- -1tGo currant will
amply repay thorough and constant .ul-
tivation. It's demands in the way Of
care are not exorbitant, yet they must
not be neglected.
As to the location of the bushes, the
grower can consult his own convenience,
for they will do well in an open space, OF
among other trees, where not too much
shaded. ! think it better to have them
partially shaded, as the fruit will grow
larger and ripen off more evenly in such
locations. If given an open space in the
garden, the bushes can be better attended
to in most cases, which will often more
than offset the benefit derived from the
shade of the trees.
Aside from keeping the grass and
weeds away from the roots, the ground
should not be disturbed Immediately
about the plants, for the more the roots
are cut and mangled by digging among
them, the more suckers or shoots will
spring up and draw from the nourish.
ment of the main stems.
A good substitute for cultivation is
found in mulching, while itkeeps down
the weeds and grass, retains moisture for
the roots, and furnishes supply of fertil-
izing material for a generous crop of
fruit. The mulch fcrtilizes in the most
natural and economical manner that OF
filtration.
If the bushes are sod-bound at the
roots, or choked with weeds and briers
at the tops, dig up and cultivate about
them thoroughly, after which apply a
good mulching, and see that it is kept
on during the summer. Fine large cur
rants, and lots of them, will be the result.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The home is the unit of the nation.
The most liberal are often the most
successful.
No blessing equals the possession OF a
stout heart.
Health is too costly blessing to be
fooled away.
Every utterance creates some kind of
IN impression.
Don't underrate anything because you
don't possess it.
calumuy is like coal; if it does not
burn. it will soil.
Real glory springs from the silent con-
quest of ourselves.
The credit gained by lie lasts only
until the truth comes out.
Our acts make or mar us; we are the
children of our own deeds.
He who does not engage in quarrels OF
others will have few of his own.
Falsehood can make the best squirt, but
truth can do the steadiest trotting.

A few years ago 1t was very rare indeed to
find any but old or middle aged people afflicted
with Kidney or Bladder Difficulties, but to-day
not only are these troubles prevalent to an
alarming ertcnt among the matured, but even
our children between and 20 years of age, are
attacked and die suddenly from that insldious
destroyer Of human life, Brights Disease. 1t
is but step from the ordinary, common Kid
ney disorder, TO the more advanced Bright's
Disease, and it is the slight and early symptom
when neglected that leads to the fatal end.
hence extreme watchfulness is essential in or
der to see that the Kidneys arc performing
their function (work) in the right manner and
to detect The first departure from health.
Therefore it is the manifest duty of all to in
vestigate and know what course to pursue and
what means to use.

Undertaking is a good investment.
On sandy soils, that leach badly, az,
ply the manure directly to the crop.
Is there any fun in tilling two acres to
get the products of one' There is no
profit in it.
Never prune tree unless there is a
good reason why limb or branch should
be taken off.
Be sure to raise such crops as your
market demands. There is no profit IN
lot of unstable truck.
After you have brushed the udder clean,
milk the COW as fast as you can, and milk
her clean. to the last drop.
Wire netting makes splendid fencing
for poultry-durable and ornamental. 1t
costs more than lath, but lasts for years
and does not require repairs.
Are your tools all ready for work. If
not, take the first rainy day to get your
cultivator in shape, or themower and rake
fixed up SO you will be ready for the corn
and hay.
Never allow lice to get the start of
you. Whitewash often and keep plenty
ofdust around. Use kerosene occasionally
on the roosts. Don't set too many hens
near each other.
The mild winter leaves surplus of
hay. Don't be too fast to get rid of it
at the present low prices. Better wait
till the stock is out on good grass. Time
enough, then to dispose OF the hay.
