Elephants in the Teak Yards.

To any one for whom machinery
has a fascination there is nothing
stranger than the first glimpse of ele-
plants at work about it, Amidst the
kissing swish of betting, the buzz of
saws, the multitudinous separate rat
ties mingled into univercll roar and
vibrating through big saw-mill, tho
ponderous figures of these slow-paced
helpers present curious sight. Ono
elephant places the log upon nov
able platform to be squared, while
another waits with restless eyes and
tapping ears until the saw has done
its work, and then, taking twist in
nm attached rope, slips the loop of it
deftly over big tusk, and leads the
log away. Another piles timber, lift
ing the long piece between tusks and
trunk, and pushing it into place with
the latter if the pile is low, or with
a broad forehead if the height de-
mands it. Fetching and carrying,
lifting and stacking, pushing and pull
ing, these docile and patient giants do
their work without complaint, week
in and week out. Sometimes the ma
hout (oozee it is in Burmese) walks
beside the beast, sometimes he sits on
its big neck or broad back. But his
indolent figure never seems to be
necessary, for one cannot watch an
elephant at work very long without
acquiring the conviction, however
mistaken, that the intelligent direc-
tion of his labor is all his own. Gem

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The dairy pays better in winter than
in summer.
The greatest waste is having no
system in feeding.
Fodder to keep COW can be grown
at not more than one fifth the cost of
pasture.
Keep onions from dampness. Do
not pile them up in deep layers. They
must be stored in dry, cool place.
Gather peppers and tomatoes before
frost comes. Pull a few plants and
hang them under a shed away from
the frost
Remove dust and cobwebs, and thus
make the poultry house much bright
er, Ia ore sunny and pleasant. Light
is an enemy to disease.
Professor Henry of the Wisconsin
University estimates that shrinkage
of from thirty to fifty per cent in tho
dairy products of the state was caused
by the recent drouth.
Cucumbers, pumpkins, squashes,
and melons, must be gathered before
they are frost-nipped. Melons will
finish ripening if packed in oats. Use
ripe cucumbers for pickles.
By good management one COW can
be kept the year round on the pro-
duct of an acre of ground, but no
management can make less than four
acres of pasture support one COW.
Hens that are afflicted with humble
foot roost too high and injure their
feet by striking the ground too hard
when they fly down. The remedy
consists in the removal of the cause.
To get rid of tobacco gum after
topping, suckering or working among
the green crop, rub the hands with a
ripe tomato and thoroughly rinse.
The acid in the tomato cuts the gum.
There is much detail connected
with poultry management. Women
as class pay more attention to little
things than do men. Hence, the for.
mer often make better successes with
fowls than the latter.
The late fall celery planted in single
rows needs blanching by earthing or
boarding up. Winter celery planted
in the same way must now be handled
to make it grow upright, and fiji it for
storing in trench or cellar.
The oldest and toughest hen can be
made quite acceptable providing it is
we'll boiled and served with plenty Of
nice vegetables, such as squash, on
ions, potatoes and cabbage. The
poultry keeper should have plenty Of

TnAvspLAyrrSa FOREST TREES.


The smaller the tree the moro cer-
tain II is to live when transplanted.
But if you want trees OF fair size, or
six to ten feet high, with stem one
or two inches in diameter, select such
and then proceed to dig them up, sav.
ing as many of the roots as possible.
After they are dug, proceed to the
pruning, bearing in mind that all loss
in the way of roots must be fully made
good by reducing the number and
length OF the branches; and, to bo
sure OF it, cut all back at least two
thirds Of their original length. If tho
branch is six feet long, cut away four
feet. But in this pruning leave the
stumps of branches IN such n shape
that the head of the tree will be well
balanced when the new shoots appear
the following season. This may APP
pear at first to be rather severe treat
ment, but it is the only safe way OF
insuring the life of the specimens
transplanted. Besides, before the
end of the following summer
far more and larger shoots will be pro-
duced than if not severely pruned. II
forest trees of all deciduous kinds are
treated in the same way, there is little
difficulty in making them live and
thrive, even if their roots are few in
number when dug from their native
habitats. Little or no attention need
to be paid to the position or number
of buds left on the pruned tree, for
these will appear in due time, and Of
then more than are really required to
form n good head to the tree. Tho
new shoots springing from the pruned
branches will be in proper condition
for receiving the cions in the spring
of the second year after transplanting.
Unless such trees as you purpose trans
planting have very large lateral roots,
they should be staked when set out to
prevent being blown over by the wind
during heavy rains and winds in fall
and early spring New York Sun.

Distant Things,
Oh, whito is the sail in the PARKWAY

oh, white Is the sail in the PARKWAY
And dirty the sail Ia the dock;
And fair are the cliffs across the bay
Aud black Is the nearby rock.
Though glittcrs the snow on the peaks afar,
At our feet II is only white;
And bright is the CLEAN OF the distant star
Though lamp were twice as bright
Tho rose that mods beyond our reach
Is rcdder than rose Of ours;
OF thought that turns our tongues TO speech
Our fellows leave greater dowers.
The waters that flow from the hidden springs
Are swcetcr than those by our side
so we strive through life for these distant
things,
And never are satisfied.
SO we strive through life for these distant
things,
But ever they hold their place;
Till beat life's drum and death doth come
AMI we look in his mocking face.
And the distant things grow near and close,
And faith they are dingy and gray!
For charm is lost when the line is crossed
'1wix Here and PARKWAY.
For the charm is lost when the line is crossed
And we lose all things as they are,
And know that rs clean Is the sail at the
dock
AS the sail on the sea nfnr;
As bright the rays of the nearby lamp
AS the CLEAN Of the distant star.

MOTHER MARKING.

For four consecutive years bound
AIRY rider, having quiet black dog,
has looked after about 800 ewes in one
paddock, and though different lot
of ewes were lambed in that paddock,
there were always more black lam bs
among the produce than in all the
other breeding lots on the estate put
together, and they number about 4, 900
says the London Live Stock Jour-
nal.
This year the boundary rider had
about the same number of ewes in the
paddock, but his black dog is not
there. The result is that there is only
one black lamb in the lot. This has
happened with the same lot of ewes
that last year in that paddock pro-
duced fifteen black lambs. The writer
concludes that black lambs were the
result of the ewes seeing black dog
among them every day. He also re-
marks that in those paddocks where
foxes are troublesome, there are al
ways more red and yellow colored
lambs than in any other where ewes
are lambed.

The San Francisco Examiner re.
marks: We have occasionally called
the attention of the Union Iron Works
and other American shipbuilders to
profitable business they could do in
keeping warships in stock. Whom a
ship is built on an order the contract
is let to the lowest bidder, and the
margin of profit is small. Sometimes
there is loss. But good cruiser
sold ready made to nation about to
go to war is always sure to command
a generous price. Balmaceda offered
$4,000, 900 for the Baltimore, which
was about three times as much as she
was worth. Ii the Union Iron Works
had begun to build warships for the
market seven or eight years ago il
cuu.d have sold its entire stock as soon
as completed to the Chilenns at an
enormous profit. Work could then
have been continued without interrup.
ton on a new lot, and the Brazilians
would have snapped them up ut twice
their cost as soon as they were ready
for sea. Another batch could then
have been started, and sold to the
Japanese and Chinese just before the
outbreak OF the present war. There
has never been n time when a good
modern warship would have gone beg
ging, and the construction of such
craft on speculation would be one OF
the most profitable enterprises in
which shipvard could engage.

The railway from Jaffa to Jerusalem,
which has been in operation for SONS
time, is to be succeeded in Palestine
by another innovation belonging tc
our progressive century notes the
Pre,b rterian. A steamer is now
building in Holland, which is designed
to ply on the waters of the Dead sea.
1t will awaken the echoes in the old
hills of Moab, with sounds that have
never been heard there before. Prac.
tlcal men will be ''apt to ask whether
the steamer can expect to gather any
freight" from the wild and desolate
region which surrounds Asphaltites.
There are nephtha wells on the shores
of the sea, or petroleum as we would
say, the product of which is said to be
carried to Jerusalem by the Bedouins
for sale. Beyond the bare hills OF
Moab there are stretches of fertile
plain, where hocks and herds are
tended by the Arabs. While such
productions may be helpful in the
way of paying expenses, it is plain
that the steamer in its voyages will be
largely patronized through curiosity.
Travellers will undoubtedly add an
excursion round the Dead Sea to the
other sights awaiting them on a visit
to the Holy Land.

rs if he were back in some dreadful
dream. He hammered with futile fists
upon that bare and mighty back and
caught fierce hold about one of
those gnarled legs and tuggcd TO trip

it was all with the nightmare sense
that he was doing nothing by all his

Would the men never Gomez Felipe
redoubled his kicks and blows, but
with sickening fear. Don Melito
was weakening-alrendy his head was
thrust over the steam of the paila.
Only for his arms locked about the
giants waist, he would go in. And
now Coco's huge hand came behind
him and wrenched at the old mans
slender ones, tearing open finger by
finger resistlessly. In another mo-
ment Il would be too late to think.
Aha, Mr.. Coco The boy sprang to
the second paila and snatched the
long-handled skinner that leaned
against it, and, dipping it full from
the caldron, flung the molten sugar
squarely upon Coco's back. Howling,
the negro whirled about dropping the
half senseless administrators from him,
and sprang at Felipe. But the boy
stood stiff and very white, holding the

tonch Don Melito again or me, will
throw it in your facet"
Even Coco hesitated ut this. He
was not too drunk with rage to know
what boiling sugar meant. Plainly,
this little fool had the advantage. He
must be tricked-and then But Just
then n wan smile fitted across Felipe's
face, and, as Coco half turned his
head to see what pleasant thing could
be behind him, he got a glimpse of
Pancho, the horse-breaker, and some
thing dark and wavy in the air. He
ducked forward, but rope settled
upon his broad shoulders, tightening
like iron, and he was jerked backward
to the ground and dozen men were
upon him.
That is about all there is to tell, ex-
cept that Coco made no more trouble
on the hacienda of Villa. At Lima
he found the swift justice which some
times happens in Peru. Don Melito
was in bed several days, for he had
been roughly handled in body and in
nerves. The first day on which he
could sit up little Felipe brought
him cake of chancaca.
"Thank you," said the old man,
laying it on the coverlet. Sugar was
an old story to him.
"But you must taste this, my adj
ministrador, and see if it is all
right"
"It is good" answered Melito,
munching submissively. And then,
with sudden light: at is very
good, as good as 1 could have made
myself. Quite right. And i think
you sent it to the molds at just the

When storing vegetables for winter
do not be too economical of space. If
cabbnges are crowded together tightly,
they will be sure TO rot where they

them room, and let there be enough
space between them for free circula-

FEEDING BEES IN THE WINTER.

FtEDINW HEES IN TIE WINTEN
II is quite possible to feed bees in
the winter on sugar syrup, and so take
most of the honey in the fall. Sugar
is much cheaper than honey, pound
for pound, and honey is more than
half water. The purest white sugar is
used, ana boiled to a thin syrup. This
prevents souring, which would other
wise occur, and would be fatal to the
bees, as it produces dysentery. New

ORNAStENT YOUR FARM.

Ornament your farm, not at great
expense, but with good sense. Do it
with skill and judgment, with few
trees here, another there, and bunch
elsewhere. You may never want to
part with your farm; that makes no
difference; n place beautiful is Just as
good for you rs anybody else, and n
few artistic touches will often do it at
little labor or expense. The beauty
thus added to ours is not only an ex-
ample but n stimulus to others to do
likewise, and presently you may find
homes of beauty all along the road
from town to home and added value
that few could fail to appreciate. The
highways and the travelled roads of
our country could be made rs cool,
shady and attractive as the famed
roads of Europe if the owners of the
farms bounded by them could only be
induced to plant shade trees within
their fences. And does the reader
suppose for moment that such trees
need be only ornamental? Not for
moment Beauty adds value, it is
true, but timber has value in addi-
tion to the beauty it affords, and as
well food and protection for birds and
for live stock, fruit and nuts for the
young, and in the years to come, when
our forest timber is gone, be of more
than ordinary value for the practical
purposes of life.-Chicago Times.

ToSGHESING HORSES FOR HARD WORK.

ToNGHENING HORSES FOR HARD WORK.
Winter hauling will do the horses
good; it will strengthen their muscles
and tougher their shoulders, and nut
them in better condition for work be-
fore the plow and harrow. 1t is SER
ious mistake, writes j. NJ. Stnhl, in
tho American Agriculturalist, to keep
the teams in almost complete idleness
until spring opens, and then force
them suddenly into hard work. 1t is
apt to overtax them at the very start,
and the result is that they fall short of
what should be their capacity for
work throughout the entire spring
Hauling fence material, stove wood,
and other things will wear off super
aous fat and sharpen appetite, while
gradually preparing the horses for the
hard work of the field. AT this time
one should also begin to bathe the an-
imals' shoulders with strong salt water.
This is the very best preventative of
gals. If it is used for six weeks be-
fore the heavy spring work begins,
and the collars are even moderately
good fit, serious gals will be unknown,
though the work is unusually hard.
The best time to apply the bath is just
before the animals are put in the
stables each evening. Once day is
often enough. The shoulders should
first be washed clean. As the salt
water is somewhat trying to the hand,
it is we'll to have n cloth fastened to a
handle, with which to apply the bath.
A corn cob makes convenient handle.
