How to Ssdd 10 : Horse.


This would seem to be very simple
matter, and yet it is so rare that groom
knows how to do it properly that every
careful horselnen should know how It
should be done, and he should never
mount his horse without making thor
ough examination Of saddle, blanket,
girths and stirrup feathers. The saddle
blanket with round corners In front and
points behind should be placed on the
horses back and care taken that there
are no wrinkles in it: the saddle should
then be placed on the back Of the horse
just behind the withers and SO that the
weight Of tho rider shall not bear on the
withers and make the back Of the horse
sore; the girths-there should with an
English saddle always be two-should
be fastened so that they bear directly
from the center Of the saddle and one
girth should lap well over the other.
There is no use in drawing girths un-
comfortably tight, but they should never
be loose, as in that case the movement
Of the saddle to and fro will certainly
make the horses back sore. The object
is merely to secure the saddle so that it
will stay firmly in it's place. The con-
formation of the back of each horse must
determine in each instance the exact
place of the saddle, but it should be, as a
rule, few inches behind the withers

The total national debt Of the United
States is at present $s42. .617 1886. In the
history of modern nations there is no
record Of case in which national
debt has been paid so rapidly. The
wealth Of the ten richest men in the
country would, combined, pay all the
remaining debt of the nation. Govern
ment receipts during January, 1899, were
less by $1,000, 900 than they were for the
corresponding month Of 1891. The de-
crease comes chiefly from diminished
customs receipts.

CrOsSing Corn.

Different varieties of corn, including
dent, flint, soft, sweet and popcorn, have
been crossed by artificial pollination at
the Kansas station. The first year the
effects of the crossing were visible in
comparatively few instances, and those
mostly among the sweet varieties. Ears
more or less blended (and sometimes ex-
actly intermediate between the two pa
rental types were generally the product
Of the second generation. The third year
showed for the most part product true
to the seed planted; by selecting grains
from a single ear or from different ones
ears are produced with grains that are
as a rule like those planted. Thus it ap-
pears that any selected cross can be per-
petuated, and improvement in varieties
can be made by crossing and perpetual
ing these crosses.

How to Make an APOLOGY.

For stiffnecked man, whom his van
ity and self conceit is fond of believing
that he is always in the right, nothing is
more difficult than for him even when
he is sure he is in the wrong to apologize
with frankness and humility. When
self interest does bring such man to
own that he is wrong and to sue for par
don he usually makes the amende honor
able SO clumsily that he increases rather
than wipes out his original offense. It
is often hard to acknowledge that one
has been in the wrong, and especially so
when in dispute hot and angry words
have been spoken. This is made even
harder when there is a difference of posi-
tion between the persons who have had
a controversy. It is hard for an en-
ployer to apologize to his employee, and
the opposite is also hard. But there is
but one way for all. If you are wrong
go to the person aggrieved by your injus-
tice as soon as you clearly see that you
have been wrong and say so with entire
frankness and candor and say that you
are sorry. Don't whine, and don't at
tempt to justify yourself, but be simple
and manly, and if the good opinion of
the person to whom you thus go be worth
having you will regain it. When fault
has been acknowledged, apologized for
and forgiven, never under any circum-
stances refer to it again. It is then as
though it had never been, and there is
nothing left to talk about. Some per-
sons, having been a party to quarrel,
never tire of referring to it. This kind
of nagging will break up any friendship
and array on hostile sides the persons
around a domestic hearth who should sit
there in peace and harmony.

management - Regards Their Feed.
Experiments conducted In the poultry
departments Of the dominion experiment
farms at Ottawa, according to Manager
Gilbert's report, make II appear that the
different breeds require different winter
treatment, especially as regards the
feed. Manager Gilbert says: During the
winter 3.3
I. Brahmas, Cochins, Langshans, Ply
mouth Rocks. etc., require more oats,
less wheat, little or no Indian corn, soft
or stimulating food in moderation and
. generous supply Of vegetables. Lean
meat twice or thrice Q week and plenty
of exercise.
2. Leghorns. Minorcas, Andalusians,
Hamburgs, ETC., will take moro soft or
stimulating food, more wheat, Indian
corn, with meat and vegetables in liberal
supply.
3. It is essential to success that lime.
grit, gravel, ETC., should be before the
layers at all times, and that the hens be
kept in activity by throwing the grain
fed to them in chaff, straw or dry leaves
scattered on the leaves.
Soft or stimulating food is generally
fed in the morning and is composed as
follows: A warm morning mess for the
heavy breeds may be made of shorts,
ground oats, bran and lean meat scraps
mixed with boiling water. This can be
varied by giving cooked vegetables in
stead Of the ground oats or bran. Glover
hay cut in small pieces, steamed and
mixed with the morning feed, is one Of
the best Of green foods and cannot be
given too often. t..
For the Spanish family more stim-
ulating morning mess may be made of
shorts, cornmeal, ground oats or barley
with ground meat or meat scraps in judi
cious quantity every morning, with a
nodicum of black or red pepper. Vary
by mixing boiled potatoes or other vege-
tables in lieu Of the ground oats or bar
ley. Steamed clover hay at any time.
In cold weather Indian corn may be fed
! to the fowls for the last meal.
It is taken for granted that the fowls
have comparatively comfortable quar-
ters, with pure water to drink in regular
supply; the chill taken off the water;
the grain warmed in cold periods and
the other directions, as given in detail
in report of last year, carried out.
Should the foregoing treatment be found
too forcing, the soft feed may be cur
tailed and more green stuff and oats fed.
It is quite likely that thin shelled eggs
may be laid, and it is sign that the hens
are getting too fat. As preventive mix

Bee Notes.

Let your bees severely alone in freez-
ing weather. Disturbance is injurious.
It causes commotion in the cluster and
an unnecessary consumption of food.
Guard well the entrances from mice.
IF these pests force an entrance they will
eat the honey of the bees, mutilate the
comb and perhaps ruin the colony. If
entrances have not been already pro-
tected let it be done at once. It is done
by tacking slip of tin, an inch wide,
on the upper side of entrance three
eighths of an inch from bottom board.
This will secure the safety of the colony
Mice are not apt to cut into solid board,
and the upper part being timed they
will be defeated in all their attempts. 8
Do not neglect to give those colonies,
whenever the weather will allow, that
have barely enough of provision, a fresh
supply of the sugar paste described in a
former article. It is made by grinding
granulated sugar into -four and then
working it into paste or dough with
extracted honey or sugar molasses. Put
1t on top of the frames over the cluster
of bees on muslin perforated with holes
here and there for the bees to reach it.
1t is better to keep surplus of food
than to allow the colony to become des-
titute, or nearly SO, before feeding.
Bees become weak when so reduced and
are very difficult of recuperation.
Let all those who manufacture their
own hives and bee fixtures be diigent in
making and painting their hives while
they have leisure. It is good time to
repaint old hives, when the weather is
sufficiently cold to keep the bees from
flying, but not cold enough to freeze the
paint. This saves transferring the bees
into another hive for this purpose, says
the Philadelphia Farm Journal.

POINTS in TOMATO CULTURE.

A Summary Of Results Obtained at the
Cornell University Experiment Station.
For several years past the tomato has
been the subject Of Investigation and
study at the Cornell University expert
ment station at Ithaca, N. Y, both in
the open field and under glass. Some Of
the results have been previously pub
ished, but y summary of what has been
learned, including much for the present
year, will be of general interest to to-
mato growers. As to fertilizers, the best
for tomatoes are those which produce
their effects early in the season. EARLY
applications of nitrate Of soda produced
early results, but nitrate Of soda is an in
complete fertilizer and should not be
used to the exclusion of other fertilizers
unless the soil is already rich in potash
and phosphoric acid. Upon poor soils it
is Of but little advantage when used
alone. -e@ s
The experiments of two years show
that tomato plants that are early set in
the field are less injured by inclement
weather than is generally supposed, and
that very early setting on we'll prepared
land appears to be advisable.
Two transplantings gave better results
than three, but much depends upon the
condition Of the plants, their age and the
way in which they are handled. Slight
trimming during July and August ap-
pears to be beneficial .-.
Single stem training of tomatoes gave
twice as much yield per square foot as
ordinary cutting, somewhat earlier re-
suits, and it greatly decreased injury
from rot.
Little if anything appears to be gained
by selecting seeds from first ripe fruits
with no reference to the character of the
plant from which they come. Upright
and open training tends to decrease in
jury from rot. .
Keeping quality does not appear to be
correlated with solidity, or associated
with varietal differences, and is not
therefore associated with best shipping
qualities.
Tomatoes mix in the field, and even
hybrids with the common type of tomato
may arise spontaneously. Red tomatoes
sometimes come from yellow and purple
fruits.
Tomatoes run out, or lose their dis
tinguishing characters. Even the most
popular varieties of ten years ago are
not often obtained true to type at the
present time.
1gnotum is the best variety for all pur-
poses grown at the station this year.
Among the introductions of the year the
following are represented as the most
promising: Cumberland Red, Long
keeper, Mitchell, Potomac, Bed Mikado
and St0na

Sowing Wheat

0V"Auss "AodCs
An Ohio farmer says in the New York
World:
As general rule l have found that
early sown wheat seems to do the best,
and where the ground is put into first
rate condition by a thorough plowing
and narrowing, if the seeding is early,
at least a fairly good crop will be the re-
suit. Of course we are liable to unfa-
vorable seasons, when the best husbandry
will not produce good crop. Drill
ing is now the common method for seed
ing wheat, and the use of fertilizers has
made the wheat crop much more Ger.
tain one than it was formerly, at time
when failures had become SO common in
this state as greatly to discourage many
from attempting to raise it. Not less
than 200 pounds of fertilizer should be
used to the acre, and more would often
be better. It is important for the young
wheat to get good start and acquire a
vigorous growth of well rooted plants,
so as to safely pass through the winter
and spring. This early start is mate.
rally aided by the fertilizer, and it's use
is further required from the fact that
most of our wheat lands are now more
or less deficient in necessary elements
that commercial manures adapted to the
crop will supply. On we'll prepared
ground about six pecks of clean seed tc
the acre will be enough, and if drilled
in two inches deep during the last weeks
of September, renumerative crop may
be reasonably expected.

SubsOiling.
According to recent report from the
Kansas state board of agriculture the
theory and practice of subsoiling has
been thoroughly and practically tested
at Medicine Lodge, Kan, during the
past summer by the United States GOV
ernment on grounds leased at that place
for experiment purposes. About forty
acres were plowed and subsoiled to
depth of eighteen inches and planted to
cane. Another piece Of ground was
plowed the ordinary depth, but not sub
soiled, and also planted to cane of the
same variety. Both fields received the
same care and cultivation. The grounds
which were subsoiled yielded about
eighteen tons of cane to the acre; while
on the other ground, simply plowed, the
best yield was only about ten tons.
Mr.. Mohler, the secretary of the state
board. recommends that farmers who
intend to SOW alfalfa should by all means
subsoil. If the soil is upland it is all the
more important. This plant sinks its
roots down from five to ten or more feet
into the subsoil, provided the hard and
dry condition of the subsoil allows. It
is this deep roofing which enables alfalfa
to endure the severest drought, hot winds
or any other calamitous thing that comes
along. When good stand of this plant
is secured it will last for generation or
more. yielding valuable crops each year.
