Horse Stables Should Do Roomy

stables for Horses.

To stand in a narrow stall day after
day is not conducive to either comfort
or health, writes Henry Stewart 1t
cramps and stiffens the muscles and
wearies the animal. A large stall in
which the horse may be left loose is
far better for the animal which is able
to move about and exercise the mus
Giles. A single close stall should be
cleaned every morning, as the drop
pings collect in bunch and the liquid
soon forms n puddle. But this does
not happen in a box or loose stall, and
if sufficient litter is used to keep the
horse clean, the manure may re-
main in the stall until it is foot deep.
II peck of land plaster is scattered
over the floor occasionally and litter
enough to keep the horse clean and
dry is used, the stable will be much
less odorous than one with the COM
mon stalls cleaned every day; and in
deed from all odors whatever These
loose, roOmy stalls are excellent for
mares aud colts. The manger should
be raised high enough to prevent ma
nure being dropped in it The use
of such stalls for horses and cows both
during several years past has pro we'd
convenient comfortable and econ omi-
cal, and it completely avoids the COM
mon danger OF horses being cast aud
injured, as Is likely in tho common
narrow stalls with halter fastenings.

The Way OF the World.

Laugh, and the world laughs with yor
Weep, and YOU weep alone;
For this brave old earth
Must borrow its mirth,
H. has troubles enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, and tits lost on the air;
The echoes rebound
To a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they will turn and go;
They want full measure
OF all your pleasure,
But they do not want your woe.
BE glad, and your friends are many;
BE sad, and you lose them all;
There are none to decline
Your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by;
Succeed and give,
And il helps you live,
But II cannot help you die.
There is room in the halls Of pleasure
For long and lordly train;
But one by one
We must all file on
Through the narrow aisles OF pain.

A Warren county, Iowa. farmer has
just finished digging potatoes. Out OF
400 bushels taken from the ground in
Che past few days only five bushels
were found to have been frost bitten.
Silk, OF all grades and colors, can
be washed In clear water which is
poured off from grated raw potatoes.
Dip piece OF silk in this water and
wipe them on both sides with coarse
towel.
Bright yellow butterflies are among
the most decorative things that can be

A good way to wash kid gloves.
Spread out the gloves smooth and

flannel dipped in milk and well soaped.
Then rub well and dry. The gloves
will be soft and Gle IN.

The garden is neglected on the farm.
and many farmers do not cultivate a
plot for garden. The luxuries of
farming can only be btained by those
farmers who grow vegetables and
fruits as well as staple crops OF grain
and grass.
An Iowa farmer states that the east
est way to raise willow, white wood and
silver leaf poplar trees is to open
furrow, lay long branches in it and
then cover them with plow. Being
surrounded by moist earth the
branches do not become dry even in
times OF drought but send up sprouts
that become trees. In dry season
cuttings taken from these trees do not
form roots.

Father OF light, If we could only know
In surety that the little good we do
Served in its way to help some other soul,
And that our piteous habit here below
OF hoping what our aching hearts want
true
Would some time bring US to the longed-fo
goal,
Then would our way seem hopeful, clear
and sweet
And we would journey on with willing feet.
Is it so much, this guerdon that we aski
Now fear as heavy as new broken wings
Hangs on US, lest we do unconscious wrong;
But II upon us cropping at our tasks
Came the clear light that this assurance

There would be comfort for US sweet as

And radiance, and the breath of peace be
there,
Like soft leaf-whisperings echoing every

acres of land with Egyptian corn. In
October he harvested 800 acres OF it,
obtaining thirty-six sacks or about

turned, and in about month they
had trodden it all down so that It

There is no moro sense in calling
the small, immature tip end OF pota-
to the seed cndn than in applying
that name 10 the snout of an ear of
corn, says the Mirror and Farmer and
1t would be more rational TO cut off
the tip end and throw it away and
plant the body of tho potato; and this
IS done by some Of the best farmers
II the object is to get the most from IL
given amount Of SEED, cut TO one eye
and put one in a hill. But it is proba-
bic that two OF these pieces in hills a
little father apart would give more
per acre.
On cold, wet soil. small pieces are
more apt 10 rot Some varieties spread
or bush more than others. and some
will produce several stalks from one
eye. 1t is an axiom that like produces
like, and if we want large potatoes we
should plant large ones. Not whole,
necessarily, for we do not use the
whole tree when we graft. yet we get
the perfect fruit nor do we hear of
potatoes growing in slices from cut
seed. There is no vegetable product
that may not be improved by seed Sc
lection, and all results in potato cuI-
ture which seem to favor small potl-
toes or oppose large ones for planting,
are probably due to some outside cause
that Is not taken into considerati ton.
The arguments against planting
whOlc tubers are, that they give too
many plants in hill, thereby crowd
ing them and insuring large proper
tioh OF small potatoes; and whole po-
tat)es arc more apt TO remain sound,
