acheaper one can be supplied to the

IL is always best to let the idle
horses ruin in the pastures every day
that the weather will permit. They
will keep healthier and thriftier on less
food than if they are kept closely con
fined. 1t is important, however, to
provide comfortable shelter, as it
will cost less to maintain animal heat
with good shelter than to do 80 by
feeding grain.
As the pastures fail it will be a good
plan gradually to increase the ration
so rs to keep thrifty. One of the best
and most economical rations to give
during the winter is unthreshed oats
run through a cutting box, adding a
small quantity of bran. Ii slightly
wetted in mixing it will he more pal
atable. One advantage in this is that
there is little or no waste, while the
ration is one that supplies grain and
roughness, and is one of the best to
produce good development of bone
and muscle.
Another good ration can be made
by cutting hay and adding small
quantity of wheat bran and oilmeal.
1t is not always necessary to cut all
the hay, but enough to mix with the
bran and oilmeal. Better results can
nearly always I've obtained in this way
than by feeding the material sepa-
rately.
1t is usually best to give all the
roughness that they will eat up clean,
but no more, as ii is neither condu-
Give TO good health nor economical to

least, they should have all that they
can eat-
When the weather il severely cold
cornmeal can he used instead of bran.
Corn, or cornmeal, is one of the best
materials to feed to stock to promote
warmth, and during the winter in
many cases more or less can be fed to
good advantage.
By feeding regularly, supplying
with water, and using all reasonable
care to keep them comfortable, the
horses can be win,ered. at compare

that they are wanted they will be ready
for service. Il st. Louis Republic.

Candles.

The domestic use of candles for or
dinary purposes of illumination has
almost entirely ceased; oil has taken
the place of them, hut great many
candles are still used for various special
purposes. Candles are used to go
down cellar with, and for servants
bedroom lights. They are used in
brcweries, in the watts, because they
don't smoke, and they make less heat.
Candles are used in some mines. AL
most all carriage lamps are lighted
with candles.
There is large consumption of can
dies by Hebrews in the observance of
religious rites at home, and they are
used also in the synagogues. Plum
bers use candles about their work be-
cause they are handler and safer.
Candles are used for the illumination
of political transparencies. They are
used on dinner tables and in drawing
rooms; they are made f,r these uses
in various colors. There are at least
ten kinds of Christmas candles; they
are made plain, ribbed or huted, and
cable, and in various colors.
The candles for these various special
uses are made chiefly of steariue, par
aftine and wax. The consumption OF
them in the United States shows a
slight increase. We export candles to
Mexico, Central America and South
America. There were formerly many
manufactures of tallow candles in thi,
country; there are now few, and the
trade is decreasing. Scarcely any
tallow candles are now used in this
country; those made are shipped to
South America. II New York Sun.

1t was holiday morning, and tho
family which in India may include
grandfather, sons, daughters-in-law
and grandchildren, was gathered.
The men had slept in the open warm
air, and had come in to be served by
the women with the morning meal of
few ounces of grain and butter
After the usual courtesies, and when
we had told them about ourselves, the
talk went thus:
''What is your trader"
''Shoemakers.
"What can each worker earn?"
"About five rupees month.
''What rent do you pay?"

If Il hen can be made to lay one egg

To fattcn poultry they must be fed
regularly and plentifully ON the best
food.
1t is IA good plan to cull out and sell
early all the chickens that are not to be
wintered.
Even in winter it is an item to have
dust for the fowls where they can hut-
ter at will.
The little trotter and the scrub are
not wanted. The demand is for big,
heavy horses.
The tendency of feather-legged
breeds is towards scanty leg feathers
and bare toes.
1t is said that small piece of cam
phor placed in the drinking water will
prevent gapes.
Breed for size and quality horses
that are in demand in all the horse
markets of the world.
Colonies with young queens have less
tendency to build drone-comb than
those with old queens.
This is the time to remove the culls
from the rest of the poultry and pre-
pare to fatten them for market.
The wise poultryman avoids exc
tremes, but feeds enough to keep the
fowls in a good, thrifty condition.
If horse has weak joints which
cause his limbs to give way he will
transmit the weakness to his progeny.
The objection to throwing out the
egg shells to the hens is the liability of
their getting into the habit of eating
eggs.
! tbs when the hens are idle and
closely confined that they are most
liable to fall into the habit of feather
pulling.
In caponizing, the earlier bird
reaches maturity in his natural state
the earlier the operation should be
performed.

special customers. it will pay to put
! all the eggs of one color together be-
fore sendiuG to market.

SORT BEFORE SELLING.

The necessity of sorting before Of
fering for sale can never be too forci-
bly, impressed upon those who raise
vegetables for the large cities. Sort
ing is applicable to the potatoes raised
by the farmer a. well as to the more
perishable articles raised by the truck
farmer. Very often half bushel or
even less of small potatoes mixed with
the larger ones will injure their sale,
reduce them to II lower grade, or other
wise intlict injury on the grower far
in excess of the value of the small po-
tatoes. Unsalable potatoes may be
protitably fed, mixed with bran or

bfANURINd,

The questions with farmers is how
to keep up the fertility of the soil
with the lenst possible expense. For
that purpose good barnyard manure is
the best. The chief difficulty is to
procure a sufficient amount of it, and
this is one of the great benefits of
plenty of stock. Commercial fertil-
izers are best used with the manure
and together with green manuring
produce the best results. - New York

In addition to the value of some fer
tilizers as plant food, their ability to
gather moisture from the air doubles
their usefulness in time OF drought
Some substances have great atfin-
ity for water, taking it freely from the
air, which is scientifically known rs
deliquescence. The nitrates possess
this property to the largest extent 4:
salts OF potash are almost as deliques-
cent and, gypsum, land plaster
and artificial fertilizers generally have
this property. Thus it isuseful to APP
ply fertilizers in the dryest time, for
the damp mir of the summer nights
will supply all the moisture needed to
dissolve them and make them avail
able for the crops. As soon as any
soluble substance is dissolved, it
spreads through the soil by diffusion,
and thus the application of light
top dressing of fertilizer shows Is ef-
fects in few hours after it is made. -

thousand people bought admission
tickets at Worlds Fair grounds up to
six o'clock Monday enening.
A rough guess at the number of

of more than 10000 paid admissions
for the day.

grounds were illumined in honor of

lustre to the rays from the million

while the golden statues of ''Repub-

light from the west eEd of Admins
tration piazza poured in binding
showers, sent back happy response,
which blended harnoniously with the
whole.
The different buildings were illumi-
mated to a certain extent, but the Ad-

and the peristyle in the east, inclosing
the grand court of honor, held the
multitude spell-bound and easily car
