His Best Girls Name in Gold.

A new industry has made its appear
ance in the hotel corridor which, from
the satisfied expression of the proprietor's
face, seems to pay handsome profits. The
man does not contine himself to any one
locality, but is found now in one familiar
corridor, now in another. His business
has a certain amount of sentiment in it,
for out of thin sheet gold he manufactures
pretty lace pins, the design of which is
the signature of any fair one to whom his
customer desires to present his offering.
The signature, which, singularly enough,
is almost without exception the first
name of the maiden, is clipped from the
end a letter and handed to the artist.
After looking at it closely through a
msgnIfying glass he gets thorough idea
of the proportion of its shading and all
of its characteristics. Then with the
thin sheet of gold in his fingers and Il
delicate pair of finely-tempered scissors
and hair file he reproduces the sigma
ture in the precious metal in an incredibly
short time.
The work Of soldering a pin to the
signature and packing it in box filled
with tinted and perfumed cotton is "A
matter of a few moments. 1t is said that
bridegrooms are this mans chief patrons.

THE FARM AND GARDEN.
CUTTING ropnER BY HAND.

II the farmer continues to chop up
cornstalks and other coarse feed by hand,
he need not wonder if his sons take dis
like to farming, and quit it at the earliest
chance they find for some pleasanter en-
ploymcnt. Many a young man leaves
the farm because he has liking for ma
chinery, and desires to engage in work
where he will direct the forces Of steam
or horse power, rather than do everything
with his own muscles. Such a young
man is just now especially needed on the
farm. In few years we believe that a
majority of farmers will find it profitable
to keep a steam engine to saw wood, cut
fodder and furnish power for many oper-
ations now performed by hand More
than one boy has acquired permanent
distaste for farming from being required
hour after hour to turn grindstones or
swing the revolving churn. american

Gashes Stitched with Ants Jaws.

Ants are terrible fighters. They have
very powerful jaws, considering the size
of their bodies, and therefore their method
of fighting is by biting.
They will bite one another and hold on
with "A wonderful grip Of the jaws, even
after all their legs have been bitten off
by other ants. Sometimes six or eight
ants will be clinging with a death grip
to one another, making a peculiar specta-
Gle, some with leg gone and some with
half the body gone.
One singular fact is that the grip of an
ants jaw is retained even after the body
has been bitten off and nothing but the
head remains. This knowledge is pos
sessed by a certain tribe of Indians in
Brazil, South America, who put the ants
to a very peculiar use.
When an Indian gets cash cut in his
hand, instead of having the flesh sewed
together as the physicians do in this coun-
try, he procures five or six large black
ants, and, holding their heads near the
cash, they bring their jaws together in
biting the flesh, and thus pull the two
sides of the flesh together
Then the Indian pinches off the bodies
of the ants and leaves their heads cling
ing to the flesh, which is held together
until the cash is perfectly healed.

INCREASING TIE MANTLE HEAP.

While it is not economy to increase the
quantity of manure at the expense of
quality, at the same time it is quite i'm
portant to see that nothing that will
make good fertilizer is allowed to waste
If the plan of cleaning out the stables
and sheds is followed and the manure is
piled up either under shelter or without
it will be found advantageous to save all
the more easily soluble portions as it is
this that is the more liable to be lost
By supplying plenty of bedding in the
stables or sheds all the liquid portions
may be absorbed and held, and then if
care is taken in the piling the losses by
teaching may be greatly lessened. A good
layer of straw, leaves or other litter
should be put on the ground first, this
will hold a good per cent. of the soluble
portions, and then if there is a consider
able quantity piled up layer of straw
or litter can after be put in to good ad-
vantage.
This is especially the case when there
is n considerable quantity Of straw,
more than can be used for feeding to good
advantage. 1t is less work to haul direct
from the stables to the fields, but this
cannot always be done to the best advan-
tage, and to avoid allowing too large a
quantity to accumulate in the stables it
will be necessary to pile outside.
A shed will protect considerably and
especially will avoid teaching.
When this cannot be done, piling IN a
circular heap putting a good layer of
straw underneath and covering with a
layer of straw or litter will protect con
siderably.
To throw manure out of the stable
without cover, or piling so as to shed
water, is to lose considerable part of the
most valuable properties, and as the ex-
pense of handling and applying is the
same it should be the aim TO save all the
soluble portions as fully as possible.
Manure should be considered product
of the farm and should be handled so a,
to realize the best possible results, avoid
ing waste and securing as far as possible
all the benefits in order to increase the
profits. Farm, Field and .StOckman.

An Enthusiast on Horse Flesh.

Ex-Mayor Carter Harrison, of Chicago,
is an enthusiast on horse-fesh as food.
This is what he says on the subject:
"The aversion to horse-hesh is merely
whim, as shallow as the superstition
of a heather about his religion. He can
not logically explain it, neither can the
average citizen of Chicago explain why
he would not rather eat horse-meat than
pork. Certain animals are tabooed as
food on account of sanitary reasons, but
surely no one can say that horse is not
much cleaner than hog or a duck. In
India the bovine species was made sacred
years ago, for the simple reason that it
was hard thing to rear cattle in that
climate, hence TO preserve the species it
was made sacred. The hog is nearly al
ways infested with trichine microbes
1t was tabooed by the Jews hundreds of
years ago, and has since remained on the
taboo list. Carrion eating animals, of
course, are out of the question as an ar
ticle of food. Now, what is the matter
with the horsel Everybody knows what
that animal eats and how clean he is.
Look at the comparison.a nice, healthy
horse, and a dirty, pudding duck, that
searches the cutters and sink holes for its
food, which is everything from carrion
/ TO tin cans.
"In my travels have found many peo-
pie who like monkey flesh. l have ate it
in Ceylon, and the flesh is delicious
Bring such a dish before some of our
Chicago -four hundred and they would
flee from 1t like a grouse from a hunter.
But whyl The monkey, like the horse,
is clean animal. Simply because q
great many monkeys resemble old men in
appearance, and the resemblance would
sicken the hungry man. l have eaten
rattlesnake! If you can decapitate one
before he thrusts his fangs into himself
or your body, you will lind the flesh,
when roasted, tender, palatable and of a
flavor between young lamb and chicken.
There is no use talking; horse mear
is good, and the day is not far dlstan
when this fact will be generally recog
nized, and horse flesh will be for sale il
all of our markets" A."

MoxEy FROM SHEEP IN WINTER.


TO be successful in raising early lambs
several things are essential:
First, warm, dry barns, we'll venti-
lated. Barns so warm that water will
never freeze in them are not so difficult
to secure even with old open buildings.
Get some poles or old boards and nail
them on the inside, filling between with
straw or poor hay. To be sure this will
not make a fancy barn, but it will Sc
cure warmth and cost but trife.
Second, good feeding, with a variety
of food at different times. To make
enough milk to keep the lambs growisg,
the ewes must have some succulent food
like beets, silage or apples, as we'll as a
liberal grain ration. The regularity of
feeding is also important, for, if the
sheep do not receive their food at the
time they should, they will be uneasy,
walking around, blcating, and in every
way indicating that they are impatient
for it.
Third, their food must be kept clean,
and no dirty troughs or drinking tubs
can be allowed, for they are very par
ticular about having their food clean.
/ Lastly, one of the most important con-
ditions is good care. The man who goes
rushing about the pens with great deal
of noise, will not make a good shepherd.
Sheep are very timid, and they will be
nervous and frightened all the time.
When you see man sitting down in a
pen with the lambs climbing upon him,
or nibbling his coat, and the sheep eating
or lying with half-shut eyes, chewing
their ends, you may be pretty sure that
you have the right man to take care of
sheep.-Neio England Homestead.

CAVE oF HORSES IN w1NrEn.

4 II farmers and others who have the
care of animals could so far identify them
selves with the creatures undeE their
charge as to feel that they belong to the
same great animal kingdom, and that
they have much in common with them so
far as the functions Of life are concerned,
1t would save much suffering and loss.
In breathing, for example, pure air is as
necessary TO the horse as to its owner,
and the effect of deteriorating the air by
breathing it is the same in both cases.
Proper ventilation in the sleeping apart
ment is as necessary to the health of one
as OF the other. In an equal manner
both require food TO keep the body warm,
and more of it, and Of more nutritious
character in cold than in warm weather.
A blow or harsh word inflicts pain on
both the horse and its master, though one
writer tried to show that horses did not
eelpain, as he had seen horse grazing
In pasture while dragging its broken
leg after it. No doubt that beasts are
less sensitive to pain than man, Just as
some animals are much less sensitive than
Others. For example, we have seen a
pig bitten again and again by a rattle
snake before the pig could put the ser,
pent beyond the ability to bite by eating
It, The pig appeared to suffer no injury
from the poisonous wounds inflicted, and
evidently enjoyed the meal which was the
result of the conflict. On the other hand
we have seen a high-strung, spirited
well-bred Kentucky horse come to hi,
death by single bite from a rattlesnake
The point we would make is this: L
would often be much better for the health
aud decidedly better for the comfort o.
our domestic animals, if those who hav,
the care of them would occasionally ''pu
yourself in his place. and ask themselves
"Now, would you like it if you were
horse, bullock, or even a pig?"
As already indicated, it is one Of thu
functions of fooG-not the only, but Al
Important one-tO keep up the heat o

King Benjamin says: "Perhaps,
