Get some cheap thermometers, which
you can buy for sI.25 per dozen at the
wholesale hardware stores in Boston, and
the, are pretty good ones, too, and hang
one in every cellar where you store roots,
ETC., and when cold snap comes and the
mercury gets down near freezing in the
cellar, have small oil stove ready and
light it and keep it going till the cold snap
is over. An outlay of a dollar or two will
save the loss of many dollars if you will
only take proper care.

a Canadian Journal says 1t is a
grevious mistake for girls who live in the
country to underrate their advantages.
They should be the most independent,
happiest and healthiest women on this
bright earth. Instead of flocking to the
city to take positions as domestics, take a
third-class certificate to enable them to
teach impsh or stupid children during
the long sunny hours, or rush to factories
where they stand beside an automaton
machine for eight or nine hours and call
it independence, they should stay at home
take up some Of the many industries that
women are making profitable nowadays,
and try to elevate the tone Of life on the
farm. Here they have wholesome food,
fresh air, immunity from doubtful COM
panionshp, and all the exercise they want
to take. There is something unwhole-
some about the girl who prefers either or
any of the occupations mentioned to a
free, busy, quiet, joyous life, unless there
is a mortgage in the way that she wants
to help pay off; then it would be wisest
not to abandon the sinking ship, but all
do their best, as the time for united
action had come, and pilot the ship in
calm water again Hundreds OF women
have engaged in agricultural pursuits all
over the United Sta es.

In recent address, Silas Belts, Presi-
dent American Guernsey Cattle Club, said :
There are no more milk, cheese, butter,
and beef breeds. Investigation, study,
thought and careful experiments have
proved this old classification as delusive
and misleading, According to the best
lights now Illuminating the dairy interests
the more correc, division Is dairy and
beef cattle. This believe to be nat
ural and scientific classification according
to temperament. The one orgaDises to
put fat in the pail ard the other on the
body. notice that one or two of the
dairy teachers at the New York Institute
still timidly continue to make separate
class of the mich cow They appear to
think that ii the milk is good there will
not be enough of it to satisfy that class Of
farmers who regard quantity as the only
important factor in the COW. They admit
that there is no propriety in separate
class for butter and cheese. Now it is
equally clear that there are only two
classes. strictly speaking, one dairy and
the other beef"

To Teach "A Team to Pull,

1t raj pleasure to have team that
can hc fttl,d upon to pull whenever want
ed so to do Any team if not Of too
highly n,nDtS temperament, may De
trained To pesiect reliability. We need
"a II oI oil and forever after to recognize
that the horse ha' mind and at least 'he
mental qualities OF memory and Affection
The consideration of paramount import
ance then is 10 develop the teams conn
dence in themselves and in their driver
1t is Just as true of the horse as OF man
that he will not exert himself greatly over
what he has no hope OF accomplishing
! But different from man, the horse thinks
of previous loads instead OF the one to
which he is attached. This is the reason
a balky horse is apt to refuse to pull avery
light load He has no way OF estimating
his load only by pulling upon IT, Hltcn
horse to a very heavy load, then let HIM
pull upon it. then transfer him to an empy
wagon and start him. You will see HIM
gather himself for a heavy pull He has
in mind the heavy load. Had the horse
been stalled with the heavy load and whip
ped until the driver and horse were both
certain he could not pull it, you would
have a horse thoroughly broken not to
pull.
Let me impress the truth of this BY call
ing to mind another illustration OF the re-
suit of similar treatment. | have seen
men who had horses given to pulling up
on the halter: put one on them they were
confident the horses could not break and
then whip them over the head in order TO
make them pull. Nearly always when
horse finds he can not pull loose he VIII
walk up to the hitohing post ! have
heard men argue that a horse could be SO
thoroughly broken in this way that tow
string would hold him. There IS some
truth in it, though not all horses are to DC
managed in the same way. horse OF
nervous temperament should never be ex-
cited They will always do their best In
a perfectly calm state OF mind. -,
The drivers Of fast horses have taught
us this. They have also learned that to
keep the horse calm all men in attendance
must re main so. No passionate, pro'ahe
man ever developed great speed ina horse
nor trained powerful team. With these
general principles in view and proper at
tention to details, any team may be tram
Gu 50 that IL VIII NC d eNiiSh' W P
Have a definite and small vocabulary TO
use with your team and always use the
same woro for one purpose. Keep u'e
same two horses working together and al
ways on the same side. Use open brides
so that the team can see what is gong on
around them Keep all attachments
strong, that your team will not be in tear
of strainihg themselves through something
breaking Use close-fitting collars and
harness and never allow horse to be-
come sore from any part of the harnt S.
Teach your team TO start together. Keep
them strong and in good spirits by good
and regular feeding and good care in
every particular. Let them come to
heavy pulling gradually and not at all un,
til their bones are well matured.- 7.

II Is The Old Story Over Again.

BETRAYED BY A TRUSTED FRIEND.
A lady who had suffered for years with
. complication Of diseases, was suddenly
and marvelously restored to perfect health.
Thinking she might make her fortune by
keeping the secret of her recovery to her
elf she resolved to do so, but in an un-
guarded moment she confided it to a
trusted friend, and now All the World
knows that LONDON TONIC PILLS are the
Sovereign Remedy of the Age for Bilious
ness, Indigestion, Constipation, Jaundice,
Liver Complaint, Female Weakness, and
m forms Of Kidney Diseases. Possessing
wonderful medicinal properties and being
scientifically compounded, strength and
vigor is impaired to the whole system by
their use. Hundreds testify to their great
merit. Manufactured and guaranteed by

While urging care in protecting from
disease. care also is necessary not to pro-
woke disease by fussy treatment, Hens
producing twelve to fourteen dozen eggs
year cannot stand the neglect which
may be inflicted on those yielding seven
or eight dozen. Protect from draughts,
feed nationally and keep busy. Do this
much and there will be little danger Of
disease even with heavy production.
Over stimulation by the use Of special
nostrums, egg foods and drugs will weak

Pure soap is white. Brown
soaps are adulterated with
Rosin. Perfume is only put
in washing soap to hide the
odor of decaying animal fat,
or "Soap grease" Washing
powders are strong alkalies,

est. Dobbins' Electric Soap,
is pure, white, unscented, I'M
adulterated, and has been ac-
knowledged ever since 1869
to be the only pure family
soap made. Is it economy to
save a few cents buying a
poor nasty soap, or strong al
kali washing powder, and lose
dollars in ruined clothing?

With eggs at thirty cents dozen win
ter egg production offers special attrac-
tons to the brainy farmer who is looking
for some means of earning during the
long CO d months before him. Shift the
flocks' over from summer to winter pro-
duction. Let them loaf in June and July
rather than December. The difference
between twelve and thirty cents dozen
gives margin wide enough to pay fer
considerable study and close application.

In its first stages, caked udder can be
quickly relieved by copious applications OF
hot water-hot as the hands can stand.
This is simple little thing that is well to
remember. 1t will also pay to remember
that vaselne is a first-rate application for
sore teats sometimes the teats get badly
scratched by briers and occasionally by
the barbs on wire fencing.

An experienced poultry raiser says that
no better use can be made of wheat chaff
than to use it as litter in the poultry
houses, in which the hens can scratch and
exercise. If gill of millet seed be scat
tered in the chaff the hens will work and
hunt for small seeds industriously until
every one is found, and as the seeds are
so very small the hens will be more earn
est and diligent, the seeds also being
somewhat of a luxury. The chaff will al
so assist in keeping the floor dry, thus adj
ding to the warmth and comfort of the
poultry house during periods of cold or
damp weather.

USE DANA'S 5ARSAPARILLA, IT'S
THE KIND THAT CURES"

Farmers have learned pretty thorough
ly that the kitchen garden supplies the
most healthful and enjoyable part of the
subsistence of the family, and by the ad-
dltion of such fruits as might be grown
with but little extra effort, the pleasures OF
the season would be largely increased and
the health of the family protected. An
experienced cultivator says the expense OF
setting out and caring for quarter of an
acre of strawberries is not far from $40 a
year, not counting the plants, and these
can be found in abundance after the bed
is once started. A plot of a sixteenth OF
an acre would supply large family dur
ing the season of ripening, and enough
more to put up for winter or supply few
poor neighbors. Get a spot ready and
set he plants early, and take care of them.

MY NEIGHBOURS BOY.

&c seems to be several boys IN one
So much is he constantly everywhere
And the mischievous things that boy has done
No mind can remember nor mouth declare.
He fills the whole of his share Of space
With his strong, straight form and his merry
face.
He is very cowardly, very brave;
He is kind and cruel, good and bad,
A brute and hero! Who will save
The best from the worst Of my neighbours
The mean and the noble strive today;
Which of the powers will have Its way2
The world is needing his strength and skill.
He will make hearts happy or make them
ache.
What power is in him for good or ill2
Which of life's paths will his swift feet takei
Will he rise and draw others up to him,
Or the light that is in him burn low and dim?
But what is my neighbours boy to me
More than nuisance2 My neighbours boy,
Though have some fears for what he may be
Is a source of selicitude, hope and joy
And constant pleasure, because pray
That the best that Ii in him may rule som,
day.
He passes me with smile and a nod.
He knows have hope Of him, guesses, too,
That whisper his name when ask of God
That men may be righteous, his will to do.
And think that many would have more joy
If they loved and prayed for a neighbours boy!

Grand Canon Of Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1852 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder of
the world. You can tread up" about it by
asking G. T. Nicholson, G. P. & 7. A., A.
T. & s. F. R. R. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mail
you free copy of an illustrated book
describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gem

Chinese Dudes.

China is perhaps the last place in tho
world where one would expect to find
dudes and Washers, but it appears that
in Shanghai the gilded youth among the
Celestials have adopted the masher cos
tune. Very curious they look in their
high collars and tight fitting coats. They
have also taken to wearing foreign I'M
derclothing, eating foreign foods, smok-
ing foreign tobacco and doing many
other things contrary to the old fash.
toned Chinese usage. They also ride in
foreign carriages, men and women to-
gether, and some of them live in foreign
houses in grand style. There are also
hundreds Of schools kept by Chinese
where nothing but English is taught,
that being considered the most useful
language.-London Globe.
