medicine should be put into cold

An All-Purpose Horse.

NJ the average farmer an all-pur-
pose horse or term is an absolute ne
cesSlty-eConomy and general utility
considered. The theory that farm
ers must necessarily have large horses,
weighing l 900 to 1900 pounds, had
long and impartial trial, but after
due elaboration it was pronounced
impracticable. Most farmers do not
need or require a horse Of huge di-
mansions, and not many farmers can
afford to keep speciality teams and
riding horses. The farmer usually
desires horse or team that will an
swer all purposes; that is, work to
the sod breaker the mower, the hay
rake, the farm wagon, the light or
spring wagon, the buggy and the
road cart Now, there are many
who, Of necessity, require all these
desirable qualities of their limited
number Of horses. This work may be
sat sfactory, or it may be performed
in such way as to give only partial
satisfaction, owing to the kind Of
horses employed. If the number of
horses be limited, as is usually the
case, it is easily seen that the heavy
draught horse will not answer the
purpose to any reasonable drgree
of satisfaction. This style of horse is
emphaticalIy a speciality horse: and as
such, not the kind the average farm
er should own.
In his special sphere the heavy
draught horse is both useful and
prohtable; but, outside this sphere,
he cannot work to the satisfaction Of
his owner Yet for the heavy draught
horse there is a good market and a
steady demand, and generally at
figures that are remunerative. For
the farmer the most profitable horse
is neither the largest nor the small
est, but one Of that weight and SYM
metrY which will enable him to per-
form all kinds of work; he should
weigh from 1850 pounds to 1880
pounds. Tribune.

Wheat AS a sac Product,

The wheat crop will not wholly go
out Of the rotation even in localities
where it no longer pays directly.
This grain is one of the very best to
seed with, and there are many 10.
calities where the difference between
a good and poor, seeding of clover is
more than what the farmer loses by
the grain crop. Where. land is most
valuable the wheat Straw has a
market value that is greater than its
worth to make into manure. Wheat
straw is purchased for bedding by
the keepers Of livery stables. 1t is
liked because it is sitter than oats
straw and the manure of granted
horses being mostly dry it does not
adhere to the straw, which thus can
be used several times before becom.

DESTROYING the white Grub.

The white grub is the especial
enemy of strawberry growers because
the two-year old c.Over-sod, which it
is generally advised to plow under
for making a strawberry bed, is
usually filled with these pests The
best way to get rid Of the grubs is to
turn a lot of young, active hogs into
the patch, fencing it in so as to con-
fine their roofing to the plot that is
to be plowed. Feed the hogs some
milk and wheat middlings, and then
let them root for the white grubs.
They vii. clear the patch sooner than
it can be done in any other way and
at less cost. We think, too, that the
roofing helps to keep hogs healthy,
and if they are fed as advised their
droppings mixed with the upturned
SOL will help to enrich it.

1t was when the ball was drawing to
a close that Paul Elemyng found an OPP
portunity of slipping a folded paper
into Lady Charnleigh's hands.
"Read this, Leonie," he whispered,
"and permit me to call for the answer
tomorrow.
She took it and placed it in the folds
of her dress. Tomorrow he would
know all-to.morrow he would be Lord
Charnleigh, AMI she Lecnie Rayner;
their positions would be reversed.
Then came the faint gray dawn of
the Jupe morning, and one by one the
guests departed from the brilliant
scene. Each visitor expressed so much
pleasure, and seemed so truly delight
ed, that no greater compliment could
have been paid to their hostess than
their regret at leaving.
Give us another ball soon, dear Lady
Charnleigh, whispered one of the
younger girls; "this has been so de-
lightful"
Leonie laughed aloud; the young girl
started back at the harsh, unnatural
sound.

seeing the startled look; remember
that have been making myself anna

81 will wait just as long as you
please" he said. you will be mine in
the end, Leonie; that is all care for.
A sudden impulse came over her to
throw herself into his arms and tell
him all-he would console and comfort
her; but she set her foot resolutely
upon the impulse. This night should
pass over without her secret being
known.
So she stood until the last of her
guests disappeared graceful, bright,
and charming to the end, her gay
words never faltering; then she was
left in that brilliant ballroom alone.
She looked around, with a flush on her
face, on the flowers and the lights, the
wondrous combinations of color that
she herself had effected.

Variations In Plants.

Botanists generally have but a
faint idea of the breadth of variation
common to all plants; and can only
attribute a sJriking departure from
the normal type"-that IS to say
from the specimen from which the
first description was drawn-as be ng
the result of hYtridization. Sup
posed hybrlds" abound in botanical
literature. Mr. Eugene Schieffelin
of TivoIi-on-the- Hudson, has a beau
tiful form of the common hemlock
spruce, the branches Of which have a
cruciate character The leader does
not drop as in ordinary hemlocks, but
is stiff and erect, and it has verticlls
of four branches at regular intervals.

Your face is white, your lips tremble.
Leonie, have you been frightened?"
Although she loved Bertram better
than her life, in the supreme anguish
OF that hour she had forgotten him;
and now, at the sound of the kindly
TOice-at the sight of the frank hand
some face-a keen sense Of what she
was losing came over her. She went
up to him, and as he stretched out his
hands to her, she laid her head on his
breast, forgetting everything in hel

WALKING ON STILLS.
1t Is Common Practice In One Province
of France.

of France.
The majority of the people in the
western portion of the French province
of Gascony walk on stills. That is q
district known as the Landes, with u
sea line bounding the French side of
the Bay of Biscay and extending at its
greatest breadth about sixty miles
back into the country. The Landes
form one of the Widest and strangest
parts of France, and the inhabitants
are fully as strange and uncultivated as
the black pine forests, the dreary
swamps and the far-spreading deserts
of fine white sand which they inhabit
Most OF them are shepherds, and they
elevate themselves on stills five feet
high in order to be above the marshes
and the sand blasts. These stilt-walkers
present strange and uncouth figures as
they progress over the wilderness of
country in attendance on their flocks,
sometimes at the rate Of six or seven
miles an hour. They rest by the aid
of q third wooden support, pursuing
meanwhile their everlasting Cccupa-
ton of knitting. In appearance the
Landes shepherd looks like an uncOuth
mass of dirty wool. On his body he
wears fleece like rude paletot, his
thighs and legs on the outside are pro-
tected by greaves of the same material,
and his feet are encased in sabots and
coarse wooden socks.
In some parts of Malaysia the natives
walk almost habitually on stills. Ma
ture and necessity have brought about
this result, as excessive foundations OF
river and sea often submerge the whole
surface of the land in many places, rem
dering ordinary modes of locomotion
impossible. In parts of Holland also it
is very ordinary sight to see people
walking about upon stills of various
sizes.
