Harness for Training Colts.

A colt should never know how
much strength he has until he knows
how to use it. II he once runs away
he is never safe horse afterward
and, while he may to all appearances
forget it, there will come time
when he will run again, and the
chances are that he will do much
damage The harness for breaking
and driving colts should be extra
strong and heavy. The relns and bit
especially must be stout enough for
all possible emergencies. A straight
bar bit is good enough for a steady
horse but it cannot be depended on
with fractious ANIMALS There are
numerous kinds of bits that are easy
when a horse is steady, but so made
as to hold the horse when he tries to
run

A pretty fan was presented to
little girl four years of age, and she,
wishing to show her new treasure,
hung 1t on her finger and hung IL out
at arms length. "A lady on entering
the parlor was attracted by the pc
culiar attitude OF the little girl, and
finally said to her: ~Isn't it very
fatiguing to hold out your arm In
that way so long?" Said little Elsie
in return, with deep sigh; -Isn't IL

For Rough Lands.

Whatever careful tests have been
made, it appears to have been DEM
onstrated that Jerseys or Guernseys
will make butter more cheaply. The
Holstein is for rich lands, where
quality is secondary consideration,
and the Ayrshire for rougher pastures
where a large quantity Of milk in
proportion to size and of good quality
for human food or for cheese is de-
sired. She produces milk peculiarly
fitted for domestic use because OF the
small size of most Of the fat globules,
for children and invalids as well as
for persons in health. 1t is for the
same reason unusually well suited to
bear transportation, and the cow pro-
duces milk very literally in proper
tion to her opportunities.

Ducks that are kept in yards where
there are no ponds, need a large
quantity OF water. The tr0ughs
should be very large, so as to allow
several. bucketfuls OF water to be
poured in, or the work of filling
smaller troughs frequently will entail
too much labor. Ducks not only
drink water freely, but they waste a
large portion by throwing it out OF
the trough on the ground. Keep only.
a. few adult ducks unless you can pro-
vide water but with little difficulty.

A rnnchinr Incident.

In the memoirs of Jenny Lind
Goldschmidt" we read this touching
incident Of her childhood:
1t was the grandmother who was
the first to detect the musical gifts Of
the child, and this detection left
profound impression on the child her
self, as If she, too, then first made a
discovery of what was In her, through
the surprise which she found herself
producing in others. The story formed
her earliest distinct memory. Com
ing up from the country to the town,
she was struck by the music of the
military bugles that daily passed
through the street, and one day, when
she fanced herself alone in the house,
she crept to the piano, on which her
half-sister used to practice her music,
and, with one finger, strummed out
for herself the fanfare which she had
caught from the soldiers. But her
grandmother was at hand, and; hear
ing the music, called out the name Of
the half-sister. whom she supposed 1t
to be, and little Jenny, in terror at
being found out, hid under the square
piano. She was 50 small that she
fitted in perfectly, and the grand
mother, getting no answer to her
calls, came in to look, and presently
discovered her and dragged her out,
and was astonished, and said: "Child,
was that you?" And Jenny, in tears
at her crime, confessed, but the
grandmother looked at her deeply
and in silence, and when the mother
came back she told her, and said:
"Mark my words, that child will
bring you help"

Top Dre..lng Moving Lands.

Upon most farms there are some
fields of permanent moving that are
continued from year to year In grass.
Because these give fair return is no
reason why they should be neglected,
although II unfed and no aftermath
Is removed, they may not suffer at all
blythe continual cropping. If a very
light top dressing of well pulverized
manure is occasionally applied, its
effects upon succeeding crops is al
most magical. An application Of
ashes also shows its influence in an
increased growth and in causing a
luxuriant growth Of clover where
there was none before. More hay
means more manure, and more ma
nuro, better crops.
