the matter of fixing the amount of the
bonds of the street commissioner and
other officers so they can file the same

ties with as little delay as possible.
The designating of grounds for dump

the city cannot use the grounds of last

ignated, providing the garbage be COW

two policemen, one Chief and one subor-

to determine, and have no suggestion to
make relative to it. In regard to the sal

QUAINT, BUT COSY.
The Snug Interior of an Antique Farm
Kitchen in Scotland.

The Snug Interior of an Antique Farm
Kitchen in Scotland.
Here is an interesting description of a
Scotch farm kitchen:
What picture of cosiness! The wind
may arise and howl without, the snow
may gather in many a heap, the sheep
may shiyer in their hillside fold, but
here there is warmth and cheer for
man. 1t is a big room, the lamp not
yet lit, and the lights and shadows of
the roaring fire dance many a dance on
the polished fiagstones that cover the
floor and the multitudinous rows of
brightly shining plates and cups and
Jugs which grace the shelves.
There are two tables in the kitchen.
a long, large one to the left from where
we sit, and smaller one to the right.
If you are curious to see what the serv-
ants had for supper take peep at the
larger table and you will see the rem
nants of feast consisting of potatoes
mashed and mixed with cream, onion.
butter, salt and pepper, with an accom-
paniment of skinned milk and un-
stinted quantities of oatmeal bread.
This is the simple fare of our simple
friends. Some nave thought and said:
What shame that the Carglen
farmer should live so well himself and
half-starve his ill-paid laborer!'
Well, it all depends on what is meant
by living well. Look from the larger
to the smaller table. There sits the
farmer of Linkerstown, and he, too, has
evidently been fed upon the same un-
pretentious meal. 1t is otherwise in
many of the larger farms we know.
where the master does not eat with his
men, but Linkerstown was a reminder
of older and better times, when there
was much greater solidarity of inter
est between the employer and the en-
ployed.
On Sunday it is indeed different, for
then the farmer always takes his din.
ner and supper "but the hoose;" but il
is well understood that this is only done
because he is always favored with
company" and he would not care to
ask strangers into, the kitchen, nor
would his servants desire their presence.
There are many features which de.

is that bundle of birch twigs placed
over the little window in the back of
the house. The bunch is fresh in ap-
pearance and must have been cut very
recently. 1t is a talisman of luck, and
1t was put there by Maggie.
'It'll bring guild to the hoose," said
she; but was she not thinking of her
own fortunes? Her heart could possibly
tell. At any rate, she believes in it.

FARMER AND PLANTER.
MAKING HAY.
The Best Time to Cut Grass to Secure the
Best Hay.

The Best Time to Cut Grass to Secure the
Best Hay.
The dairyman needs hay richer and
more succulent in quality than the ordl-
nary stock breeder. He fieeas hay which
will sweeten his milk and give O char
acteristic spring-like flavor to the but
ter. Everything nearly has been tried
to make the right article of food for the
COWS in winter, so that they can be in
duced to give good milk, which will
make butter of fine quality. The vari-
GUS mixtures now fed to winter cows
are certainly superior to many OF the
old-fashioned rati6ns, but there can be
a vast improvement upon the hay II 1t
is cut earlier IN the season.
The usual time for cutting hay is so
late in the year that nearly all OF the
juicy, succulent portions of it have es-
capped, and cows will avoid it even when
it is growing in the fields. They will
leave the patches of tull-grown hay
alone, and search around for some
younger growths. Every dairyman
knows what a difference the early
pastures have upon the milk flow, and
how later in the season, when the grass
becomes mature, the milk and butter
lose that first fine fragrance and SUI
perior flavor All of this argues that
grass loses much of its valuable parts
for the dairyman after it has reached a
certain stage of maturity. We can not
expect hay made from such grass to be
any better. The fine quality in the but
ter which fresh spring grass produces
can not be obtained in the winter from
cows fed on such overripe hay.
The cutting and curing of hay earlier
in the season will save for the COWS
great deal of this mysterious substance
which affects the milk so favorably.
The haying season for the dairyman
should not be the same as that now
adopted by geD eral consent by farmers
who raise it foe the markets or for gem
eral stock. There is no special week
or month in which the hay should be
cut and cured, but each one must deter
mine it for himself The cows will be
the monitors. When they seem to like
it the most, and appear to thrive best
on it, then is the grass in the height of
its glory. 1t should be cut then, be-
fore it has time to lose this fine, succu-
lent flavor. This necessitates early
harvesting, and it also demands a repe-
tition of it. Three cuttings may be OBJ
tanned from one field in a season, or
two cuttings at the least. 1t is doubt
full then if there is any loss sustained in
quantity if two or three cuttings are
10 fro-,, k1,a G,15
The dairyman to get the best winter
hay then should cut his grass before it
is headed or blossomed. No carrots or
daisies will then be in it to reduce its
quality, and the stalks will be so
sweet and tender that they can be
readily masticated by the animals. All
is nutriment, and nothing stored in the
barn will be waste. Such grass should
be cured in cocks, and taken under
shelter as soon as the dew is dried off
it. The hay will be soft and sweet
smelling, and the effect it has upon the
milk and butter is truly remarkable.
This may not be the best hay for stock
of general nature, but it is certainly
the ideal dairyman's winter fodder

FARM HORSES.
The Requisites for the General Purpose
Farm Horse.

The Requisites for the General Purpose
Farm Horse.
Strength is not the sole requisite in
farm horses. As rule, the horse that
plows must also draw the wagon upon
the road. The average farmer cannot
afford to keep road horses and draft
horses also in his stables. The two
must be combined in such a wav that
the ride for business or pleasure shall
not be made irksome because of dull
ness in the motive power, or the plow
be stranded in the frlrrow because of
lack of strength to move it. 1t is well
worth noting that ability to do good
service in drawing loads, or in doing
general field work, is not wholly de-
pendent on size of body. Courage. and
a resolute way of taking hold of work
will often make an eleven-hundred-
pounds horse worth more in a team
than an easily discouraged one having
a bulk of several hundred pounds
heavier.
Again, farm horse should be a.
quick walker. One may as well use
oxen as some of these sluggish teams
that seem to drag their feet over the
ground rather than lift them, while
every motion is made with the utmost
deliberation. Man and teams are less
worried by active movements than bv a.
mere creeping gait. To prove this let
a man walk mile briskly, and at an
other time saunter over the same road.
and note the difference in feeling at the
end. the. farm horse should be kind
and fearless. He must be such that
the oldest and youngest, the BOYS, the
girls and the mother, as well as the
father, may all drive and pet him. "A
farm horse ought really to be one of
the family, since he enters so largely
into the everyday work, and should
also be the means of afford
ing so many pleasures as to
make his ownership comfort
to every member of the family.
Farm horses should have good lung
power and good feet and legs. It is folTy
to think that unsound feet are not a
serious disadvantage since their work is
largely on soft and yielding footing.
To do his work quickly and well, and to
last as he should last on the farm. a
horse must be sound IN every point.
Where mares are used it is especially
important that there is perfect sound
ness, that there be no inherited weak
ness in the progeny.
My idea of the ideal farm horse, where
the driving horse must also be the work
horse, is one of about eleven hundred
pounds weight; quick in motion, but
not very nervous; a quick walker, a
free traveller, but not necessarily fast;
wide across the breast. to give lung
capacity, and wide across the face be.
tween the eyes, showing intelligence;
kind anywhere and everywhere, not
afraid of sudden sights and sounds; am
bilious when at work, and sound in
every part.
The Morgans certainly possess many
of these attributes, but there are other

Terrible winters throughout Europe brought

Grippe with varying violence broke forth here
and the mortality lists show its shocking ravages
in aggravated cases. An alcoholic principle en-
bodied as a medicated stimuant in the form of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters has and will ever
prove the best specific Leading continental and
American physicians declare that medicine
with guaranty against the tremendous inroads
of this shocking malady. When we consider
that slight change of weather is apt to renew it,
that it attacks those easily vulnerable organs,
the lungs that its progress is tremendously swift
and destructive, we must admit the necessity of
repelling 1t at the outset with sure preventive.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is also safeguard
