A countryman, wishing to convey a
pig to town without paying the toll, put
it into cart and covered it with cab
bages. On reaching the gate he said to
the collector:
"Look here, tomorrow intend bring
ing pig to town. I shall put it in my
cart and cover it up with cabbages. If
you will just close one eye, you shall
have handsome tip"
"All right" said the collector.
Next day the countryman drove up
with hiscart loaded with cabbages. The
collector stepped up to him and whis-
pered in his ear:
$50 you've got the pig with you to-
day?"

mans reply.-Corriere della Sera.

The White Elephant.

In former days the ceremonies at
tending the capture of white ele-
plant were very impressive. The
discoverer, were he the humblest
man in the kingdom, was Immediate
ly made a mandarin. He was ex-
empted from taxation for the remain
der of his life and presented with
large sums of money, the king him
self giving him $1,000. AS soon as
the capture was made special cou-
rier was dispatched to the king. and
a posse Of mobiles with gifts and robes
started Immediately for the scene of
action. The robes which the captors
used in binding the royal victim were
replaced by cords of scarlet silk. Man
darins attended to the slightest wants
of the animal. Rich feather fans
with gilt handles were used to keep
the flies from it during the day, while
silk embroidered mosquito net was
provided at night.
To remove it to the capital a boat
was built expressly for the purpose,
and magnificent canopy erected
over it, ornamented and bedecked as
were the kings palaces. Silk draper
les, heavy with silver and gold, en-
closed the royal prisoner, and in this
state he foated down the river, re-
ceiving the acclamations of the peo-
pie. When near the city, the animal
was landed, the king and his court
going out tomeet him and escort him
to the city, where place had been
built for him within the royal pal
ace grounds. A large tract of land
was set apart for his country place,
chosen from the best the kingdom af-
forded. A cabinet of ministers and
a large retinue of mobiles were ap-
pointed to attend to his wants.-Cal-

We have shown here illustrations Of
white and black faced sheep. We finish
with brown faced one, the handsome
and docile Southdown. 45
TheSouthdowni is short wooded breed,
its fleece being not SO heavy as that OF
either the Cotswold or Shropshire; neither

farmer of our acquaintance pays his taxes
annually from the proceeds of a small
but first class flock of Southdowns, and
the taxes are heavy too. Southdown

in the world. In the case of the thrifty

understood, if the preacher man.
lived there, and on being invited in
they commenced preparing their tot
let. Of course it was supposed they
had come to be married and every
assistance was given by the preacher
and his good wife in getting ready
for the ceremony. The bridal veil
and wreath were carefully adjusted
by the lady, and the gentleman care
fully combed his hair Then their
hands were joined, and the solemn
words were spoken which bind hui
mans together in wedlock.
The ceremony over, Of course it
was supposed the newly married
couple would be in haste to depart.
But it was not SO with them, and by
their actions they betrayed that they
expected something else before leav-
ing. Finally the reverend gentle
man remarked, well, now you are
married" and the answer came,
"Oh, yes, We bin married last Febru-
airy. and now want unser bigture da.
ken" A feather would have knocked
down the preacher upon the revela'
ton. It was the picture man" they
were looking for and not the preach
er man" However, there can now
be no mistake about their being mar
ried and that the knot is tied good
and tight. -Marshtield News.

Feed for Work Horses.

Ample preparations should be made
for green food for them. A plot of
clover or rye or orchard grass should
be always laid out for the early
spring feeding. A stock of bran should
be especially provided for the season
when the old coat is shedding, and a
daily ration of it given through the
summer. 1t has an excellent effect on
the skin and will prevent that frequent
irritation which so annoys the animals
at this season after winters feeding Of
corn. A mash Of bran and inseed, two
quarts of each. lightly sailed and sweet
ened with sugar or molasses, will be
most useful, and the grateful whinny
with which the horse will receive this
luxury will tell as eloquently as words
might how it is appreciated by him.

Live Stock Points.

Stock feeders near the Rocky noun
tains have one advantage over their east
ern competitors in the matter of curing
hay and fodder. The dry, light air of
their country cures hay and fodder in a
wav that preserves much more of the
food value than is the case with the same
kind of crops cured in the rain region.
Sheep and steers in the west prefer the
air dried fodder to ensilage.
There is one plant that's never touched
by an insect, and that is tansy. If you
rub horse over with a handful of it be-
fore taking him out upon the road, it is
claimed that the flies will not touch him.
At any rate it does not cost much to try
Rubbing a cows legs with an infusion
of tansy just before you milk her will
keep the flies away and allow you to pro-
coed in peace.

much pleasanter to see fine horses out
doors than in a wooden circus tent, shut
up in sitting atmosphere with dudes
and fashionable women who come to
show their style and good clothes. The
open air horse show is a compromise be-
tween the annual display of fashionable
men and women with some fashionable
horses thrown in on the one hand and
the county fair exhibition Of useful ami
mails. At the same time the New York
affair has leaning to the side of fash
ion. One of the premiums was for the
best pair Of farm horses. This prize,
800, was won by pair Of splendid big
grays named Pepper and Ginger, be-
longing to plain Long Island farmer.
On the other hand, however, a premium
Of $500 was given for best ''all round
goat" There were prizes for trotting
stations, hunters and high steppers.
Among the useful classes may be named
park hack horses and delivery wagon
horses, for the latter of which prize OF
500 was offered by we'll known dry
goods firm. Most Of the premiums were
500 in money. Then, too, there were
hurdle and other races, tandem teams
and high jumpers, for the millionaire
and their best girls.

Cost of q Chicken.

Under ordinary conditions chicks
ought to be Matched, making a fair allow
ance for value of eggs and food for sit
ting hens, at cost of less than five cents
apiece. The highest cost per pound gain
during any week, while growing chicks
to 81 pounds average weight, was less
than seven cents, and the cost averaged
much less than six cents. At the prices
generally obtained for chicks of this and
lesser weights the growth was certainly
a profitable one. With chicks having
the liberty of the fields, it seems reason
able to expect still cheaper production
of meat, and it would appear that .
profitable use for some of the skimmilk
of the farm would be in the growing Of
chicks for home use or for the market.
An unlimited supply of sweet skim
milk can apparently be given to chickens
with advantage, but sour milk must be
fed with caution. Where sour milk only
is available it is best to coagulate thor
oughly by moderate heating and feed
only the curd, straining out as much Of
the whey as possible.-New York Agri-
cultural Experiment Station Bulletin.
One is glad to observe there are still
several studs of that fine old breed, the
Vermont Morgan horse, in existence.
Tennessee and Kentucky have never
given the Morgan up altogether. But
breeders of these horses ought to adver-
tise more extensively. &.

ing will agree that not even the most
unmerciful curtailing could deprive it
Of force:
remember taking little Fred, my eld-
est son, to skate with me one winters
afternoon on suburban pond. He did
famously for a tyro, but we both wearied
at last of his everlasting strife to main
tain the perpendicular, and I was con-
scious of rush of joy when he became
completely absorbed in watching a man
who was fishing for pickerel through q
hole in the ice.
Caught anything?" asked he.
"Nop."
''Had bite?'
"Nop."

As l glided away light heartedly on the
delicious curves Of the outer edge, re-
fected that he was evidently persever-
ing pot hunter, who would not be easily
discouraged, and that could count upon
his engrossing the attention of my off,
spring for considerable period.
Accordingly was surprised some five
minutes later to observe the fisherman
stumbling across the pond toward the
shore. A moment afterward I learned
what had happened.
The horny handed pot hunter, having
presently pulled solitary pickerel out
upon the ice and freed it from his hook,
turned aside to cut another piece Of bait,
whereupon my hopeful picked up the
fish and popped it back into its native
element without so much as syllable
of commentary, and thereupon he of tho
horny hand, having realized the situar
ton in its terrible entirety, pulled up his
line, shoveled back the particles of ice
into the hole and betook himself upon
his stumbling way without. a word.
Not word, mark you. The only al
tentative was child murder or silence,
and my pot hunter chose the simplest
form of the dilemma.
II thought the fish would like it, !" said
little Fred, when INTERCEPTED upon the
subject.
