The Only Condition.
Securing q Horse in War Time.

The Confederate cavalryman was often
puzzled as how to provide himself with @
horse. The authorities gave him the choice
to keep mounted or go into the ranks with
his musket, as horses were not furnished
by the government. To be dismountcd
and become a foot soldier was worse to
him than a court martial, and he would
risk much in his efforts to get a horse from
the enemy.
In the fall of 1863 a cavalryman had his
horse killed in a skirmish heal Warren
ton, and as his best chance was then to
capture one from the enemy he put his
wits to work to devise the ways and means.
He was with the outside pickets, and not
far of, on the pike, were cavalry pickets of
the enemy. He procured a piece of tele-
graph wire from the railroad, and when
twilight came on stretched this across the
road, fastening one end to the fence and
the other end to a convenient tree, just
high enough to catch a cavalryman about
the belt. When matters were thus ar
ranged to his liking he started down the
pike and stopped in plain view of the en-
envy.
It was not long before three of them
gave chase, mounted on good horses. 1t
was now too dark for them to see the
wire, and on they came, determined to
have a prisoner. The chase wal sharp and
quickly over, so that by the time the
schemer had passed through and under
his trap the enemy was upon him.
The sequel is not hard to guess. Two of
the pursuers were quickly and most un-
tremendously endorsed, the third being
so much astonished and frightened at
their fate as to turn and beat a hasty re-
treat. The two horses without their riders
continued down the road, and were easily
captured by the Confederate, who, by his
clever ruse, became their owner and. kept
his place in the cavalry Washington

Never despair. Never give up, no
matter what happens. There is always
success for you somewhere. Find it.
The more CHEEKY and hopeful you can
force yourself to be, the more surely
success will come.
When you intend to raise a calf, let it
run with the mother COW till her milk
gets good, then take it away and begin
to feed it.
In feeding a young calf it is better af-
ter you have taken it away from the
cow to let it have a part of her milk for
q few days. Then if you cannot afford
that longer, mix linseed meal cooked to
a jelly with sweet skimmilk at the
rate Of a pound of the jelly to fifty
pounds of the milk and feed this to the
calf. It makes O fairly good substitute
for unskimmed cows milk in calf feed
ing. Later you may add to the linseed
some oatmeal with the hulls carefully
sifted out.
Let us have a great big chicken show
ut the Worlds fair. Begin to prepare
now for it.. ....r-
A calf is old enough to begin to take
solid food with its liquid nourishment
when it begins to chew the cud.
The life of q working bee is only four

The farmer who turned his attention

Wool for the Worlds Fair,

The following circular has been sent
out from Washington as supplemental
to the agricultural departments earlier
request for wool samples:
The agricultural department will ex-
hibit at the Columbian exposition be-
tween 5000 and 1000 wool samples from
all parts of the world. They will cover
all classes of wool, from the highest to
the lowest. Especial attention has been
given to the selection of samples of
woods that compete with our home
grown woods. These were procured
through a special agent of the treasury
department sent abroad for the purpose
of procuring samples for custom house
standards. The department is DESTROYS
Of obtaining the American samples d.
rect from the growers, so that compare
son can be made with woods of the same
character growni in different parts of the
country. The samples will be placed in
glass jars labeled with the growers
lame and address, also with description
of the sheep and wool.
Assistant Secretary Willis is giving
wool and sheep especial attention, as he
is DESTROYS Of ~furthering the interests of
this great industry. With this view he
has requested Hon. John T. Rich to
make a report to accompany this exhi-
bition. Mr. Rich will, when the COL
lection is completed, examine the sam
pies comparatively, and being a practi-
cal sheep breeder Of long experience his
report will be Of great value. Each
sample should be about one pound in
weight and taken from the body of the
fleece. Bags for the same and blank in
voices are furnished by the department..
Samples can be mailed without the pay
ment Of postage. Should you desire to
have your clip represented please ad-
dress for particulars, Edward A. Greene,
Philadelphia, or John T. Rich, Elba, La
peer county, Mich.
BeeYes intended to be shipped abroad
should weigh before the ~fattening COM
mences from 800 70 800 pounds.

No. s is not a prize winner either, but
like the Hereford a plain, honest beef in
private life, by breed a Galloway. In
the northwest the Galloways and that
other hornless breed, the Aberdeen
Angus, are growing more popular among
the beef raisers. The Galloways stand a
severe climate especially well.
Now look at these fine beeves, examine
their points, and decide for yourself
which breed will bring you in the most
money for the expense and trouble of

Table Manners Two Centuries Ago.

Writers on the history Of table name
have a great deal tosay respecting the use
of the spoon and fork, and the habit Of
eating from a common dish, illustrating
their narrative with numerous anecdotes.
In 1850 Montague visited Switzerland and
was surprised to remarkthat at table they
gave always as many spoons as there were
guests. Plates began gradually to replace
porringers after the year 1900, but were
used only for the solid food. The soups
were still placed in a large vessel in the
center of the table, and every guest ate
from it with his own spoon.
Some writer's do not wish to believe that
sucha wanto of refinement was possible as
late as the reign of Louis XIV, but the
proof is against them.-Golden Days.

Live Stock Points,


Somebody has discovered, or thinks
he has discovered, that eggs laid in tho
spring and early summer are superior
in quality to those laid late in summer,
during hot weather. ,
More sheep die before they are a year
old than at any other time during the
period of sheep existence. This means
that lambs should be we'll taken care of.
Many Of the best draft horses in tho
country are reared in Ohio and Penn
sylvania.
All the law in the country, if it re-
quires SO much, ought to be. enlisted in
the work of Kidding the northwest of
the scoundrelly and desperate horse and
cattle thieves that infest some Of the
states. Not far from Spokane lately
three horses were found dead, tied fast
and helpless. Two were tied to a tree,
the third was tied to the tail of one Of
the others. They had been stolen, the
thieves had meantime been captured
and the helpless dumb brutes had re-
manned tied there, saddled and bridled,
till they had starved to death.
If wool is left on a sucking W till
after the usual shearing time, and her
lamb is meantime weaned, the wool
will start q second growth and will
show 9 joint Or break In the fiber that
will injnre u seriously.

comparatively cheap poultry house, that
I think covers all the. requisites for keep.
ing a flock of fowls in health and thrift
all the year round:
The building is Sfeet wide by 16 feet
long, with shed roof 9feet high in front,
sloping to 6 feet in rear. To suit my
surroundings, it faces nearly west; has
a door in the center with a half window
e it, and a window on each side of
the door. There is also a window on
the south end and a half window in the
rear of the center of the building. From
the door a passageway or hall goes
across the building, leaving a room on
each side for the roosting and laying
room. Between the hall and the roost-
ing rooms are the nest boxes, which
form the base of the partitions.
For roosts I prefer 2 by 4 studding-
the 4inch side up, and edges rounded.
Below each roost is a board Is inches
wide to catch the droppings. The bot
toms of the nest boxes are on a level
with the stills; in fact, the ends rest upon
the stills and a block in the center pre-
vents sagging. Above the nests are
lath partitions, with sliding doors per-
hitting access TO the roosting rooms
when desirable; but the eggs being gath
cred from the passage, this is only neces-
sary when the room requires cleaning.
The nest boxes are s feet long, ID
inches wide and 1S inches deep, divided
into seven nests. A board s inches
wide is nailed along each side of the
box, ever with the bottom, and thus
leaving an opening 10 by 10 inches at
the top of each side of every nest. If
intended for the smaller breeds the boxes
may be divided for eight nests. When
the hens are all laying, sliding doors
close the openings on the side toward
the passage. When one is to be set, by
simply transferring the sliding door to
the opposite side of the nest the hen is
at once shut out from all interference of
the other hens, a matter of the utmost

Kitty Wilkins On Horse Breeding.

Kitty wilkins on Horse Breeding.
sour RANCH" Miss Wilkins went on
In answer to a question, sis in Owyhu
county, and we have on it, after this
seasons sales, about 1850 head of horses
and 1900 of cattle. No, our horses have
no mustang blood in them, but are de-
scended from Clydesdale and Percheron
stations, with occasionally some trot-
ting blood and American mares brought
from the east. We breed first for size
and strength and the lung power that
we think cannot be produced except by
range breeding at a considerable alti-
tude.
"Our ranch is at a height of about
5000 feet above sealevel, and our horses
are never housed or fed until we round
them up tqIsend them east. By actual
measurement I have found them in the
stock yards to be considerably larger
than other western horses, and we
haven't an animal in our herd that is
diseased in any way, nor are we ever
troubled with any of the usual ailments
of horses"
Miss Wilkins has not been satisfied
with studying the horse of the present,
but has dived into geological records,
and can tell you about the five toed and
three toed horses, no bigger than sheep,
that roamed the plains of Idaho ages
and ages and ages ago, as fuently as
she can expound the superiority of open
air breeding to the nursery practice of
most stock farms.
"Of course" she admitted, 'the baby
treatment is all rightif you merely want
to produce phenomenal and fancy priced
trotters and pace horses that are good
for nothing else. But if you want a
thoroughly sound and hardy stock with
the lung power that is one of the frstes
sentials Of all round usefulness, then the
range system is the only one to employ"

The STANDARD of Horse Flesh.

Recent developments in the horse mar
ket show several facts. One is that the
standard Of horse flesh of all kinds has
advanced 80 rapidly in this country that
what would have been a good horse be.
fore the war would be a scarecrow now.
Second, the live farmer and breeder
must keep pace with this advancing
standard or he will be bankrupted.
aigh grade horses Of all kinds sell readi-
ly at a good price, but inferior animals
bring almost nothing. The taste is SO
critical that few horses come up to pres
emit requirements OF. the markell.

Duroc-J Jersey Swine.

The growing popularity Of the red
hog had its origin and was brought
about by the intelligent effort of Will
liam Holmes & Son, who had become
firmly convinced of the superiority of
the breed and established a registry as
sociation for it. Mr.. Harris Haviland
made his first purchase of them about
ten years ago, and after repeated trials
of other breeds still prefers them, be-
cause "they combine more good quail
ties requisite for profitable pig raising
than any other breed"
"To what do you refer?' said l.
"They are unusually prolific, averaging
from ten to eighteen to a litter" said he.
$50 many are a nuisance, for you have
to feed some of the pigs Or they will
de-" I replied.
"No, for if the mother is fed milk
producing food she will take care of
them until they are big enough to eat
out Of the trough, for their most note
worthy characteristic is their ability to
convert food into flesh. They fatten at
any age and are easily kept clean, not
being inclined to scurvy."
Mr.. Haviland has dressed pigs that
weighed 346 pounds at 8 months, and 2
year-old hogs weighing from 800 to $50
pounds each. The Michigan Experiment
station, in The Jersey Bulletin for 1890,
gives a test of different breeds in an ex-
pertinent of feeding for growth, as fol-
lows:
