Canton Ridgely Ball.

City hall presented an animated ap-
pearance last evening on the occasion of
the annual ball of Grand Canton Ridgely,
Patriarchs Militant. A waxed canvass
was spread over the floor to the great
comfort of the dancers and the handsome
parlor at the rear of the hall was the
work of Walter Corey & Co..
A delightful promenade concert was
given by Chambers orchestra the first
part of the evening. A feature of the
concert was the use of a large phono-
graph which reproduced musical selec-
lions given by celebrated artists else
where to the great delight of the audi
ence. At 8 o'clock the grand march oc-
Cured, about one hundred couples par
ticipating, the rich uniforms of the chew
alters harmonizing perfectly with the la
dies toilettes. The dance cards bore on
the front 1sS6-1s92, and the
crest of the order in brown on buff
ground. An order of twelve dances was
thoroughly enjoyed, and at intermission
Grewer served very palatable supper
in Reception hall. These were the Off
GERS of the ball.

Mistake Made by Young Society
Man in Making HisICalls.
There is young man in town who
has come to the conclusion that So
ciety is adelusion and "a snare. Itcame
about In this wise: just before Lent
he was goingto a ball, and starting
at an early hour, he passed house
where he had long owed call. The
house looked dark, as if the family
were all away or had retired Now"
thought the young man, lis the time
to make a call and get off easily, when
there IS no one at home.n He rang
the bell and was informed that the
family WAS not a5 home. So he left
his cards and went down the steps
with the pleasing consciousness of
having performed q duty.
A few weeks later, when more calls
had accumulated on his hands, he
started ON fo0trfar:a ball which was
to be given only square from his
apartments. il was ten o'clock and
at a quarter past ten he had an en-
gagement to meet the young lady
whom he hoped to marry at the door
OF the dressingroom and escort her
to the ballroom On his wav he
passed another house which he had
dong owed a cali. it looked dark and

When Eve her paradise forsook,
She cast swift despairlng look
At Eden in its LONELINESS;
Then, conscious of her sad distress,
From heaven she stole bit ofsky
To beam forever in her eye
A star that circled in dance
She seized to radiate her glance;
A tiny rose that blossomed there
She pIncked to make her cheeks as fair,
And snatched treTnblin~ drop OF dew
To purify her heart anew,
And so, amid all hopes and fears,
a bit of Eden woman wears.

Teaching Horses to stand,

Teaching Horses to Stand,
An old horseman gives thefollowing
as his method OF training horses to
stand without being tied: After y Dung
horses have once become entirely bri-
dle-Wise, l first endeavor to teach
them the meaning of every word I say
to them. This is not a difficult mat
ter, provided too many words are not
used at once. The first step is to
adopt some word at the sound OF
which they are to understand that
they must stop. Words that are easy
to speak, and which can be made en-
phatic, should be chosen, such as
"ho, = whoa, etc., and every time
the word is used the horse to which
it is spoken should be made to obey
fully. Carlessness in regard to this
matter will do more to undo what
has been taught than anything else.
When horse fully under
stands the meaning OF the word which
you use when you wish him to stop
and stand still, the greater part OF the
work is accomplished He then can
be trusted with safety while you leave
him a short time. To take no risk,
and to make the work more effective,
it is good plan for two to get into
the vehicle to which a horse is hitched,
and, having stopped after a short
drive, one should get out and leave
him for short distance. Should the
horse then start, the one in thevehicle
can draw the lines suddenly and thus
prevent his getting away. There will
be no trouble in teaching any horse
with an ordinary amount of good
sense to stand as long as you desire
without being hitched, II a little iudg-
ment and patience are used in at
tempting it.

A New Point in Feeding.

Mr.. Appleton, breeder and owner
ofthefamous Jersey COW, Eurotissima
in his address before the New York
farmers, calls attention to one rule in
forcing cows that may be of service in
all feeding for profit and that is, that
the roughness of grass must be fed
after the COW has eaten all the rich
ground feed she will take, says the
American Dairyman. The. object is
to get as much rich butter making
food IN her as she can assimilate.
This can best be accomplished with a
well composed ration which relegates
hay and grass to the rear, by feeding
the ration first and all she will eat OF
it, then topping off with the other.
The fact is that hay and grass are
losing their grip, SO to speak, with
the scientific feeder While it is not
practical to do away entirely with the
roughness of the farm, yet it is best to
keep it down as much as poossible con-
sistent with the well being of the COW.
It seems to be more useful in helping
digestion than in any intrinsic merit
of its own. While grass is probably
the best single feed for milk making, it
certainly is not SO good as g. well COM
posed ration, except it may be for a
few days IN the summer time, when
the rains and temperature seem to
combine to bring the grass to perfec-
ton, but this is an exceedingly limit
ed time.

Sure Cure for Scab,


a prominent sheep raiser, S. H
Todd, Of Ohio, says to take 5Opounds
of tobacco stems that you can get at
cigar factory, aud steep them IN
loo gallons of water until the strength
IS all out of the stems. Then take 25
gallons of the tobacco liquid and put
IN 25 pounds of sulphur and boil, not
simmer it, for one-half hour. Take
three-fourths Of a gallon OF crude car
bollc acid, and four gallons of soft
soap and heat it up till it will be of
the consistency of an egg prepared for
use Mix all together and then have
a vat Of I6 inches wide and deep
enough so that the fluid will cover the
back OF the sheep when standing.
Let the sheep remain In the fluid 90
seconds, then immerse the head en-
tlrely under the water and let the
sheep out upon a platform to drain.
Have the platform SO that the
liquid will run back into the vat,
and have the fluid above blood heat.
In 10 days alter the first dip use the
same process again. If the sheep are
bad, use one gallon of carbolic acid to
five gallons of soft soap. This treat
ment won't kill the sheep. but am
positive it will clean out the scab. As
soon after dipping as possible, turn
the sheep into the yard and stable
that the premises may be saturated
from the drippings of the sheep. If ]
had sheep that had the scab badly, /
would fix them warm place, shear,
iced literally with grain to keep up
vitality, and in a few weeks after
shearing | would dip them. You
must be thorough, and if the scab has
become fairly seated nothing weaker
than this will do the work. cured
400 that were badly injected. I would
dip the third time before turning to
grass [ have given this as a pre-
paration to kill scab, but it is a good
general dip.

Short Items.

Short Items.
The best mulch we have ever tried
in a young orchard is three inches Of
well pulverized soil It beats six in
ches of straw, and does not harbor a
host OF insects.
Every horse that is expected to
work on the farm during the spring
and summer should have a collar and
set of harness properly fitted to it.
This will lessen the risk of CALLED shout
ders.
Keep down the weeds IN your straw
berry patch with the hoe in the rows:
between, with the cultivator. Clean
cultivation pays here. Strawberries
can be carried through along drought,
where with mnlching they would die.
Let the farmers wives and daugh-
tiers study the science of poultry rails
ing II the farmer himself has not the
time or inclination to attend to it.
We know that in the greater number
of cases the farmers wife does not
need this suggestion, for she has learn
ed the value to the household OF the
poultry yard.
