Intelligence OF he Horse.

Too much stress cannot be laid upon
the duty to make the horse understand
what is wanted of him. Few horses
fail to respond to the drivers require
ments if the animal knows Just what
is wanted and is handled properly. We
saw that illustrated few days since
A gentleman mounted an excellent
saddle horse. He was unaccustomed
to riding and jerked up the reins too
tightly. A tender mouth added to the
subsequent denouement The animal
became confused, reared and then
backed into the hind wheels Of a buggy,
breaking one Of them. and in some way
finally falling. After the animal was
got upon its feet and the rider had
been extricated from horse and buggy

MANuRING Trees
The Only Reliable Way of Securing a
Vigorous, Thrifty Growth.

Inc Only heilaDie way of Securing n
Vigorous, Thrifty Growth.
In order to secure vigorous, thrifty
growth with trees, rich soil is very
essential; you can as easily starve trees
as you can crop, and the results will
be as unsatisfactory. If the soil is not
reasonably rich naturally, it win pay to
make 1t SO by the application of fertiliz-
ers in some form. Wood ashes make a
good fertilizer for trees, because they
return to the soil all of the elements of
plant food needed by the trees for
growth. good plan Tor applying is
to scatter evenly around the trees, and
then to work thoroughly into the sur
face. During the winter is a good time
to apply manure to trees of all kinds.
and there is usually more time that can
be spared to do the work, ard better
supply of manure can thus be secured.
Broadcast manure is nearly always the
best; the roots of the trees extend out
as far in the ground as the tops above.
and better results viii nearly always
be secured. The manure can be APP
piled at any time during the winter,
and then when the condition of the soil
will permit il can be worked it. Well
rotte3 manure VIII give the most i'm
me results, yet it increases the
work md cost considerably to rot the
manure before applying, SO that very
good plan is to haul direct from the
stables or sheds and apply on the land
scattering direct from the wagon, TAX
ing pains, of course, to distribute as
evenly as possible. If left during the
winter it win act to some extent as a
mulch, and the rain and snow. with
the freezing and thawing, will carry
the solvable parts into the soil There
is little danger of getting the soil too
rich, SO that generally it will be safe to
apply all that can be spared Orna-

the outcome of the revolutionary spirit
winch permeated Poland after the dis
memberment of that unfortunate coun-
try, and had for its motive the protec-
ton of the oppressed natives against
the tyranny of the conqueror. Banded
together in self-defense under the
watehword of patriotism, and largely
recruited from the ranks of those gal
liant agriculturists who, under the lead
ership of Martin Langiewicz, defied
with their scythes the sabers and bayo-
nets of Russia's troops, the Society Of

tanning in great part its original mem

They did not, however, cease to main

pies of organization with them, adapted
the latter TO their environment Here
the whole trouble lay, for these Polish
Americans failed to discriminate be-
tween the despotism from which they
had fed and the free government which
welcomed them as citizens. Anything
which in their eyes took the form
of legalized authority was at
once to be condemned, and il did
not matter that this authority
took the form of capital employing
labor, to them it was hopelessly sug-
gestive of tyranny all the same The
scythemen, now grown communistic
above all things, gradually developed
into something infinitely worse. For
the purer ideals of communism soon
gave place to theory and practice of
absolute degradation. Secret lodges
sprang into existence, and multiplied,
being in reality nothing more or less
than blacknail associa atoms. The feas-
ibility of utilizing the order for the pur-
pose of Matchmaking their more fortu-
nate and thrifty fellow countrymen

SELECTING SEED coRn.
The Proper Time to Do It Is when the
Corn Is Being Husked.

Corn Is BsIng Husked.
Now that the season has arrived
when the crop of corn is being harvest
ed, it might be well to offer a few sug-
gestions in regard to the selection of
seed corn Many good farmers select
the seed for next years corn crop in
the fall All farmers should do so. but
too many are thoughtless or perhaps
careless concerning this matter. and
when anting time comes they 90 to
the crib for their seed corn
This season, owing to the wet
weather. much corn was planted very
late and the probabilities are that
should there be severe cold weather
early in the winter, it will be found,
when too late, that large per cent of
the corn in the crib will fail to germin-
ate. This being true, all corn-growers
should see that they secure an album
dant supply of seed corn before freez-
ing weather and store the same in dry
room where the temperature will not
fall much below the freezing point
during the seyerest weather.
Many writers advocate the gathering
~ 49,. NCAA A'CNh VIC CdEllSsb n p6uluP
stalks, on the theory that the corn will
be earlier. Be this as it may, TIE best
seed corn cannot be secured in this
way. The proper time, and the only
proper time, to select corn for seed is
when the corn is husked. Let the
husker keep all the best ears separate
from the balance of the corn when
husking the shock. Then, when haul
ing in, fasten box that will hold
bushel or two somewhere about the
wagon in which may be placed the
select corn. When taken to the crib
the box should be emptied and after
more critical examination the very best
ears are secured for seed. This method
causes very little trouble, and you are
sure that your seed corn will grow
when planting time comes. / think
many times that corn thus selected
makes more vigorous start and is less
liable to rot after planting than corn
taken from the crib. Furthermore. by
a careful selection of seed it requires
but few years TO establish your own
ideal corn, and you may never fear that
your corn will run out" but on the
contrary will be more inclined to run
in, and your less careful neighbors
will buy their seed from you.-G S.

To avoid injury to trees by leaning
ladders against them a self-supporting
double ladder made of two ordinary
ladders attached at the top has been
used. With such an arrangement two
men are required, and, owing to I'M
evenness of ground, it is sometimes
difficult to set the double ladder. De-
vices for varying the length of one leg
might be used, but it is occasionally
necessary to use single ladder
A mechanical device for fastening
the two ladders together at the top is
suggested in the illustration. 1t is at

may be disengaged instantly and used

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 10, lSo:
The Steamer Danton.

The Steamer DantOn which left Breaux
Bridge some three weeks ago for the
Mermenteau river to carry the large rice
crop of that section, had to pass OIL the
Gulf coast to reach its point of destina-
ton. This was considered dangerous
for boat as light as the DantCn, and
entirely unfit to stand the sea. The
boat on its way encountered a storm
which forced her to enter small bayou
to protect herself from the fury Of the
Gulf.
After the storm the tide fell and left
the Danton caught in shallow water,
where she is yet. waiting for favorable
wind to swell the tide in the bayou and
allow her to pursue her course.
1t was nearly three weeks the boat had
left and nothing was heard of her or her
crew. Researches and inquiries were
made everywhere and through every
means to learn what had become of the
boat and her crew. but every effort fail
ed to bring any news. The family and
friends of the crew of the boat began to
feel uneasy for the safety Of the boat
and the worst was feared, as it was re-
ported that sto-in prevailed just at the
time the boat was on the coast, and
knowing her unfit condition to stand a
heavy sea, it was generally believed that
the boat and her crew had been lost.
The news OF the safety of the boat and
crew was glad tiding. for the whole
community was beginning to believe
that nothing more would ever be heard
of the boat, and the friends of the crew
were already expressing feelings Of re-
greet and sympathy for their friends who
we're thought lost.
We congratulate our friends on their
narrow escape from a soak in the briny
waters of the Gulf.
