Farm AND HOUSEHOLD.
o1I1Ne THE WHEELS.

The best way to keep wagon whsols
in good order, according to West Nir-'
GINA correspondent, is to keep them
well painted, but by use this will finally
wear of, especially from the felloes and
spokes that are always getting so much
in the mud. Such farmers as think a
common wagon don't need but one paint
ing may use crude petroleum to sdvan-
taqe on their cracking wheels. By oil
ing the feloes thoroughly before tires
get loose enough to slip q resetting can
be put off long time and an applica-
ton of the same kind to the spokes and
hubs will keep the wheels in much bet
ter condition THAI when they are left to
90 without anything, as is often the case.
The oil fills the pores Of the wood aud
keeps it from shrinking, but no colorlng
matter should be mixed with it, for 1t
will not dry as a good oil paint should.
For my own part ] get my wagons
painted as soon as they need it, for 1t
makes them look better and is the best
for them in the end.-Nsl0 York World.

a coUNTERFEITER's MANIA,
Spending Weeks in Mixing
Twenty Dollar Not, With Pen and
Ink.

Spending Weeks in II lkinS
Twenty- Dollar Nots With Pen and
Ink.
"Ths is the most remarkable plc,e oil
counterfeit money ever came across,
said an agent OF the Treasury Department
Secret Service recently, drawing rom
biz wallet what to all appearances was
an OH mry twenty dollar bill. The
agent, or operative, as such men are
called in official documents. hlndcd over
the money to the reporter, who. on looking
at it closely. was unable to make up his
mind positively that the note wa, counter
felt. The officer then handed him
GOOD bill. and the resemblance between
the two was remarkable.
This one" conf nucl the Secret
Service man. pointing to the one he had
pulled from his wallet first, "was made
entirely by hand with pm and ink. Inc
man who made it must be monOmanlac
on the sub ,ect. l. must have 3teu
weeks to make the bill. Certainly the
man spent much more time on l. than 1t
would have taken him to earn the money
honestly. Every one OF these lines had
to be made with a pen, and the fellow
has most remarkable artistic skill.
A close examination Of a note made ID
the Government Printing Office shows
how faithfully the conuteric.tcr has
copied every detail of the design OF the
engravcr. =,
"Thc maker of this bill issues one OF
them at long intervals. so that he can not
depend on his counlerfeiting for "a living.
| feel sure. therefore, that he takes 50
much pleasure in outwitting the Govern
mcnt officials that he will spend time
that ought 10 BE- worth several hundred
dollar, to him in making one paitry
twenty dollar bill.
NO, don't suppose that there is much
chance Of captunn- him; because hc ut
tiers 50 few o, the spurious notes. At the
came time it is entirely possible that we
will be able to trace the LeNt one he
makes back to him. 1t is likely rs not
/ that he is man who holds a respectable
place in his community, and that his
arrest would cause a sensation.
The Secret Service min had just re-
turned from Il long TIP West, and, as
the result of his laDors exhibited thirty
pieces OF counterfeit money, no two OF
them alike. One Of the clcvcrest Of the
| lot was one dollar bill which had been
( raised to ten The Secret Service officers
are having much trouble Just now with
countcr.eitcrs, who are pouring out spur
ious silver dollars in large numbers. The
coins are supposed by officers Of the GOV
ernment to be made by Italians. Just
why they believe that persons OF That
nationality are the guilty ones they VIII
not say. The dollars are admirably exc
cute mechanically, having good milled
edge and the figures being clear and
sharp. The cola is exceedingly dcccp-
tive, because it has such an excellent
ring. for most people drop coin on the
table when they wish to siti>fy them
selves that it is good. The one defect
of the counterfeit dollar IS its lighncss,
which is about 10 per cent. The coin IS
made chiefly Of tin aud antimony.-

uorso,oanship OF Mexican rIys.

One of the finest and most inspirit.
irg sights of small town life IL
Mexico is the horsemanship OF the
boys from s to 17-perfect young
Centaurs, as much at home in the sad
die as Arabs. How they go thunder
ing through the streets, what marvel
ously short turns they make, and how
instantaneously they come to short,
sharp stop in a headlCng gallop!
These country towns of Mexico are the
nurseries so to speak, of the national
cavalry, an arm of the service in which
exico excels. The finest sigh> in the
world, one on which the gods must
look down approyingly, is a high
spirited lad astride good horse. A
Mexican boy takes to the back of a
horse as q Cape Cod boy does to boat.
At no age is rider holder than in that
enchanted period of existence lying
between childhood and manhood.
4 Mexican lad, in defanlt of sad
die, will enjoy himself hugely bare
back. He early learns to use the rope
or RATA and, begiuni g with lassoing
dogs and pigs, he advances to mules
and cows, and finally essays the roping
of lively bull So expert do they
boone that il war 'hsy frequently
drag their enemies from their saddles
by skilful cast OF the rope. Some OF
my Younger frie ads here seem to me
to live Oh horseback They come home
at noontime to snatch bite. as most
boss will. but Off they are again OF
their tireless horses. They have the
p ,od fortune to live il country which

door lie possible all the year lonnd
and the country lad, CONT iually on
horseback, grows up straight, robust

Indian, named Lauriana, died at the

claims that she was twelve years OF age at

FARM AID GARDEN NoTEa.

The best sign Of good COW is large
udder we'll filed twice day.
Once we'll started it is comparatively
easy to keep young chicks growing.
It is never good economy to feed the
hens more than they will eat M clean.
A dust bath is very essential to the
health Of the fowls during the winter.
There is as much in knowing how to
feed poultry to the best advantage as any
stock on the farm.
II any Of the fowls commence droop-
ing around, look after thea a. once; ;
there Is something wrong.
There is certainly no economy in COM
peiling poultry to stand around in the
cold mud all day; better keep them
under shelter.
Take excellent care of that fock OF
sheep now. If you have been feeding
dry food all the time, the trouble will
soon commence.
If the fowls are healthy to begin with
End are well fed and cared for, NJ arti-
fetal preparations are necessary to main
tain good health.
AS general rule, hens should never
be fed SO much taat they will not scratch.
Better scatter some of the grain among
the litter and let them scratch for it.
1t is not the breed so much as the feed,
and not the feed so much as the care, but
the better the breed, the better tho feed
and the better the care, the better will
be the results.
Don't forget that plenty OF small
branches on the ground near young trees
will be eaten by rabbits in preference to
the tree trunks Smearing the trunks
with blood or blood and manure has the
same result.
Gravel, sand OF some other similar
substance is almost as essential to the
fowls well-being as is food, and if fowls
are kept in confinement and no: supplied
with this, no matter how much grain
you may supply, they will not thrive or
even keep healthy for any length o.
time.
