No other one cause produces sore
shoulders so quickly as a heavy load
and a rough road. with continual jerk
ing of the neck yoke from side to side
as the four wheels of the wagon drop
into ruts. The jerking caused by ruts
and sharp, heavy pulls is fruitful source
of strains and sprains with their accom-.
panying evils of ringbones, spavins
and curbs, especially in horses predis-
posed to these ailments. In horses of
nervous temperament, the continual
wrenching upon rough roads causes
fretting. and what is true of man
''fretting and worry pull an individual
down faster than works equally
true of horse
The best horse for the better roads
we hope TO have must depend upon the
use to which the horse is to be put. If
for road work entirely, there is no bet
ter horse than the American trotter.
He has The ability to get over the
ground fast, and the stamina to stay at

who will use the roads the most, n
horse that has more weight is required
Medium-sized men on an average will
do more work with greater ease than
very large or very small men, and
usually have better constitutions. If
large horses are desired they should be
active. A big horse without action is
of little use on the farm.
1t costs no more to raise a good horse
than a poor one; and poor, weak,
slow horse is dear at any price. The
extra time required by poor horse to
do inferior work, soon amounts to a
good deal, not counting the wear aud

HOW TO COOK ASPARAGUS.
And Several Methods of Making 1t as
Delicious as 1t Is Healthful.

And Several Methods of Making 1t as
Delicious as 1t Is Healthful.
Asparagus is coming along NOW, and
she who would be the beloved of her
husband will see to it that the succulent
root is often before him. In preparing
it for the table the bunch should be
plunged into boiling water, which is
well sailed, set down on the root end,
with the tips well out of the water, as
the steam cooks them quite sufficiently.
Almost any asparagus will be well
cooked after twenty-five minutes boil
ing. 1t can then be taken into a
colander and drained, the strings care
fully cut and the vegetables arranged
on toast to serve. There are several
sauces used with it-either plain butter,
pepper and salt, or yet a sauce Holland
aise being quite popular, or drawn but
ter may be poured over it. Sometimes
when the tips of the asparagus are
served with toast as an especially
dainty dish, the stalks are well boiled
and strained for a soup. Asparagus
soup may be made with either stock or
water. If stock is used, the white is
preferable, and cream is frequently
added to make the soup still richer. 1t
is delicious soup. Asparagus can be
steamed to warm it over, and can be cut
in small bits and stirred into an ONE
lette, if any happens to be left over
from dinner. Athenaus wrote of aspara-
gus, for it is no new invention, and
spoke of the wild ald cultivated sorts,
saying that the flavor of the former was
much the finer; but if what he said was
true at the time, it is certain that the
ancient author never could have in
spected the product of first-class Jer-
sey gardener.-N. Y. Press.

THE CHISHOLM TRAIL.
\ Landmark of Early Times In the Far
West.

West.
The most famous trail of all was the
'Chisholm Trail" IL was named after
John Chisholm, an eccentric frontier
stockman. who was the first to drive
was a bachelor, and had many thousand
head of cattle on the ranges in the
southern part of the state.
From two hundred to four hundred
yards wide, beaten into the bare earth,
it reached over hill and through valley
for over six hundred miles, (including
its southern extension,) a chocolate
band, amid the green prairies, uniting
the north and south. AS the marching
hoofs wore it down, and the winds
blew. and the waters washed the earth
away. it became lower than the sur
rounding country, and was hanked by
little banks of sand, drifted there by
the wind Bleaching skulls and slSele-
tons of weary brutes who had persisted
on the Journey CLEANED along its bor-
ders, and here and there was a low
mound showing where some cowboy
had literally died with his boots on"
Occasionally dilapidated wagon
frame told of a breakdown, and
spotting the emerald reaches on
either side were the barren circle
like bedding grounds" each rec
ord that a great herd had there spent a
night.
The wealth of an empire passed over
the trail leaving its mark for decades
to come. The traveller of to-day sees
the wide, trough-lilze course; with ridges
with fences and farms of the settlers
and the more civilized red men inter.
cepting its track, and forgets the wild
and arduous life of which il was the ex.
ponent. 1t was a life now outgrown,
and which will never again be possible

Mending Straw Hats.

II is convenient to know how to re-
pair straw hats, as those of the children
of the household get sadly battered in
briln and crown. One should always
keep one old straw hat of each of the
ordinary colors-black and brown and
white-to supply materials for repair
ing, and to this end it is wise to avoid
buying the fancy straws, as the plain
braids are much more durable and use
full. Black thread No. 40 is used for al |
sewing of straw, except the finest grades
of hand-sewed hats, and the do
nestle milliner may well follow the
trade rule. The straw should be wet
or dampened as it is sewed, as this
will prevent its breaking. When a brim
is ragged, rip OFT the torn braid, and
taking braid that matches, deity
weave the ends together, and sew around
The hats edge as many rows as are
wished The brim can be made to turn
down by stretching the upper edge of
the braid tightly as it is sewed, or made
to roll up by holding the upper edge of
the braid loosely, the mender guiding
the results by her taste and Judgment
as she sews. Torn crowns are replaced
in the same way. Braids that do not
match can be utilized wherever the
trimming will hide the patch, and un-
fashionable low crowns may thus be
transformed into those of any desired
height.-IIarper's Bazaar.

THRIFTY JOHN.

He May lie More Sinned Against Thas
SHINING.
Whist a thrifty fellow-measured by
our American standard-the Chinese
laundryman is. He will rent damp,
miserable basement that no one else
would think of using, carry on a laun-
dry business in the front part of il, and
sleep and eat in the rear. His living
costs him but very little, he v orlzs long
hours. and the result is That he is able
to save enough money in five or six
years to enable him To return to his ma
tive land and there spend the remainder
of his days N ease and affluence.
| do not propose to enter into dis
cussion of the Chinese question" at
this time, but am impelled To say that
! candidly believe great deal of the
hue and cry That has been raised
against the heather Chinee" is with
out cause or reason. The Chinaman,
nine times out of ten, is the most inof-
fensive being numbered in a citys pop
ulation; he doesn't get drunk and dis
turb the peace; he doesn't steal. he
doesn't modest anyone, and in short he
has reduced TO a science the art of
minding ones own business. Would
that said trait were contagious. In this
part of the country, anyway, no matter
how it may be in California, the China
man doesn't cheaper labor, for the very
fact that any number of steam laun-
dries are doing all the business they
are able to handle, proves that the Chi
nese laundryman, in his humble way,
does not interfere with home industries.
II is charged that Chinese laundrymen
are all opium fiends, and hit the pipe"
constantly. This is a gross eXaggera-
ton, for / know Cinnamon who
