How He Was Cured.

It is told Of the famous naturalist
Button that he was very fond of lying
in bed late IN the morning. Wishing
to cure himself of this bad habit, he
promised his servant Joseph "a crown
for each morning he could get his
master up at six clock. For several
days Joseph tried to induce him to
get out of bed early, but without sue
cess. He was only abused and driven
out of the room by his master. Yet
every day when Button arose he
lamented that he had not gotten up
sooner.
"You do not manage it right" he
said, angrily to Joseph. "You ought
to remember only the crown promised
you, and pay no attention to what I
say when I am sleepy"
Z So Joseph determined to try again.
The next morning he dragged his mas
ter out Of bed by main force. Helwas
unmindful of scolding, threats, or even
blows. Later in the day he was re-
warded for his persistency by the
promised crown, and his master be-
slowed the same every day that his
faithful servant made him get up in
spite of himself.

Mule or Horse Colts.

Many Thoroughbred mares are
mated to jacks in Kentucky. and aft
erward they are bred to horses, but
most breeders are agreed that the
first sire affects the blood of the dam
and that frequently-especially if the
jack be a Maltese-the stripes on the
legs and the dark of the shoulders ap-
pear in the colts. So much for looks,
It is also true that sometimes the evil
dences Of the former mating with
jack are not found. / have myself
seen pair Of dark bay coach horses,
the offspring Of a dam that has raised
. mule colt, showing no signs OF
stripes or off color, but we know that
there are exceptions to almost any
rule.
THE AGE AT WHICH TO BREED.
@ A mare should be governed by cir
cumstances. Any animal used for re-
& production should be mature. A mare
at2 years old is not mature. If de-
erable, q mare can be bred at 4 years,
90 that she drops her foal at 5. Then
we may look,for q fine colt. If she be
very large and there is reason for
sttinting her growth, she maybe bred

Katie's Contribution.
1 arandma's wltoh story.


A friend of allypung people, and es-
pecially of those whose lives are pass
ed in the poverty and squalor of the
great city of New York, sends us the
following true story, which he says,
twas our little Katie's contribution
to the family happiness last night:
Katie was going to bed, after day
of toll minding her sick and manned
dolls-chronic invalids all of them
and her beautiful duck, the one old
quacker that travelled with the hens
because he had no better company.
The robin that had been watching her
out of the corners ofhis bright eyes, as
he ran over the lawn and listened to
her prattle, was asleep already, with
his head under his wing, and Katie's
hung heavily on mothers shoulder
while she was undressing her. tsNow I
lay me" had been said, with many
yawns in between, and mammals pet
had been tucked in snuggly; but Just
as the sleepy eyes were closing, she sat
suddenly, bolt upright.

AS mother was putting him to bed
one night. Perhaps he was unusually
tired, certain it is he was very un-
willing to 60 through with his evening
devotions, and when his mother gently
but firmly insisted, he said: "Oh,

all out saying my prayers"

The Cars Back.

The penalties of being an absolute
ruler are we'll illustrated in a story of
the Emperor Nicholas of Russia
which was recently related by Prince
Bismarck. 1t emphasizes the familiar
saying that the government of Russia
is "an absolute despotism tempered
by assassination"
At one time, the story goes, the
Emperor Nicholas's physicians, to re-
lieve him Of some bodily suffering, Or
dered that his back should be rubbed
thoroughly every day.
The Emperor, neglected t, take
steps to have the injunction carried
out, and the doctors insisted. The
Emperor then wrote letter to King
Frederick William of Prussia, asking
him to send to St. Petersburg three
or four non-commissioned officer of
the Prussian Royal Guard to perform
the service required by the physi-
clans.
King Frederick William promptly
detailed four stalwart non-commissi-
oned officers of his guard to go to st.
Petersburg to rub the back of the
Russian Emperor.
They performed the service faith
fully, and the Emperor recovered
from the malady. When at last the
men returned to the regiment, they
were laden with valuable gifts.
The Emperor, in speaking of the
matter to the Prussian King after
ward, said:
to face all is we'll. But cannot trust
my back to their hands. That would
be risking altogether too much"
I The fault, however, was not all with
the Cars people. It was with the
Gar himself and the system of des-
potic authority which he represent

No Foreign Land Owners.

Right here we again insist that no
person should be allowed to own, in
fee simple, one foot of soil in the
United States who has not become a
citizen and foresworn allegiance to
any andevery other government. Men
come and go, none abiding beyond a
brief period; the country and its soil
go on forever. Let only true Ameri-
cans, those so in mind and heart, have
any vested right in the foundation
soil, or have any lease of it, beyond
limited short periods at time. A
hearty welcome to those from every
country in the world who show them
selves worthy of American citizenship,
who come to freely and fully adopt
the country as their own. Our good
fore-fathers were all this kind of "for-
eigners.-Orange Judd Farmer.

Constitutional Defects.

No calf ought to be reared from a
COW of weak constitution or from one
suspected OF organic disease. am as
Stunning that no one need be told that
the same rule applies to bull. 1t
seems, however, necessary to insist
more on the COW; because it frequent
ly happens that milking powers of
high order exist in animals from which
it is not wise to breed. Any COW liable
to garget, swelling in the throat, or
other tuberculous symptoms is unfit
to procreate her species. Scientists
are not agreed whether or not the
bacillus OF tuberculosis can actually
be handed down from parent to child
by the process of heredity. But it is
at least matter of common agree
ment that q sound body does not so
easily receive as it's guest any floating
germ as does an unsound body. No
hospital for consumptive patients
among our domestic animals should
ever be established. Whether tuber-
culosis be hereditary or not, an ami
NAL which is subject to it should never
be allowed to furnish in the bodies of
it's offspring willing hosts ready to re-
ceive and foster it.-Colman's Rural

grain. He advises that, Il he applied,
in the following way: A ball Of tow is
tied to . stick Of such . length that
it can reach the middle Of vessel
containing the grain. The tow re-
ceives the charge Of bi-sulphide, like .
sponge, and is then at once plunged in.
to the vessel and left there, the mouth
or opening OF the vessel then being
tightly closed. Whom necessary, the
stick may be withdrawn and the
charge(of one ounce to 100 pounds Of
grain) may be renewed. The action Of
carbon bi-sulphide lasts in ordinary
cases six weeks, after which period q
fresh charge is required. The BIZ
sulphide does no harm to the grain as
regards its color, smell, or cooking
properties and the terminating power
OF most seeds is not appreciably
affected, provided that too large a
quantity is not used, nor it's action
continued for too long period.
The assistant director of agriculture
af Burmah, is reported to have used
naphthalin instead of bi-sulphide in
the following way; tat insect life does
not expect anything like as good
results from the napthalin as from
the bi-sulplde: A hollow bamboo
cylinder II inches in diameter, with a
stick fitted into the cavity, is pushed
down to the bottom of the bin; the
stick is then withdrawn and few tea
spoonfuls OF napthalin powder is
poured into the bamboo, which is
then drawn out leaving the napthalin
at the bottom of the bin. If the bins
are very large this should be done
once to every 10 feet square and the
application should be repeated every

Breaking Colts.

Breaking Colts.
My plan is to tame O colt in the
barn; get him used to being handled,
ETC., before any attempt at breaking.
After this use the rope. This rope
should be a S-inch rope twenty feet
long. 1 tie knot the same as would
for rope halter about the neck;
then pass the rope over the neck, put
ting it around the under jaw catching
it inside the loop around the jaw,
this forms purchase over the neck. l
now have the best "bitting rig" that
can be used. With this rope I teach
the colt to do my bidding. Ii obsti-
nate, gave a few smart jerks from
side to side. Iavoid too long lessons
at first. After he is subdued and
drives to the lines, I hitch him to my
breakingcart, which is made with pole
thills and q stout cross-bar close be-
hind the colt. 1 use an inch and
half kicking-strap, which prevents him
from using his heels if he should be so
inclined. In my experience of many
years in colt breaking, 1 have always
found that a colt we'll broken to drive
single, never fails to drive or work by
the side of another horse. The essen
tial point in breaking colts is to get
perfect control of the mouth.
