have known men to plow all day with
the harness SO adjusted as to be con-
slant irritation to the team. 1t pays
to consider the comfort of your horse.
If man has not time to harness his
horse properly, better not harness him
at all. 1t is good plan after blowing
for half hour in the morning for the
driver to observe his team carefully.
Walk around the horses, see if
they are feeling well, and
see that the harness is right.
Don't try to do a full days
work in the forenoon 1t is not wise
for horse or man to labor to exhaus-
ton. The owner of a horse seldom in
creases his chances of selling a horse
by being able to tell of frequent severe
days work or long drives A horse is
generally preferred with less expert
ence in that line. 1t is cruel after a
team has done it's best in a vain effort
to pull a load to pull them again with
out giving them some new advantage.
A man who has lifted all that he posi-
bly, can without results, seldom repeats
the operation until the conditions are
changed. Don't ask your team to do
it. There are men who hardly ever
get through a season without a runa-
away. feel safe in saying that 95 per

of carelessness. The time to stop a
runaway team is before they start. A
good horseman never forgets his horse.
He is vigilant, alert and is never sur
prised. He discovers causes of fright
before his horse does, and prepares for
or avoids them Again, the horses up
on certain farms are invariably I'M
ruly. This also is due to the careless
ness or bad Judgment of the owner.
The habit is frequently formed from
transferring colts from one field to an
other. More especially if males are
separated. 1t is sometimes necessary
or convenient to turn out horse that
is used daily with colts or idle horses.
When taking out horse to use, and
those remaining manifest great un-
easiness or desire to follow, l have al
ways taken the whole party to the
barn, returning them to the field after
ward. 1t takes time, but prevents
the formation of a vexatious ha bit.
have handled horses constantly for
twenty-five years, and can say that
never reared or trained colt that was
either unruly, balky or ran away
while owned him. 1 never purchased
and trained colt that baked or ran
away while in my possession. In all
of that time, and in handling all sorts
of horses, we have never had a run
away.

during the first two weeks of life. If
then a mother is lost and the young
one has to be brought up by hand it
should be remembered that natures
plan must be copied closely if the ami
NAL is to do well. When a mare or
COW has been milled prior to partu-
rition the new born offspring receives
milk that is not suitable for it's sys-
tenn; constipation follows, often with
fatal results. 1t is we'll, therefore, to
see that the young animal under these
circumstances is given a mild purgative
or injections of warm water to
clear the meconium from its intestines.
The milk of the cow that has had her
calf months ago is not so suitable for
a new born calf as would be its own
mothers so, if such milk is to be
used, it must be made more nitro
genous by the addition of small guam
tity of oil meal or the mucilage made
from fax, and by maceration in boiling
water. Dat meal will also prove use
full in this way. Another point worthy
of attention is that while a young ami
NAL not properly fed may very early
learn to eat hay or grass, it should
not therefore be taken for granted
that other feeding may safely cease.
Such food is often foreign body" to
the youngsters stomach, hence does
not nourish it properly. 1t may do no
harm in small quantities along with
other suitable food, but on no account
should it be made to take the place of
the latter. On general principles
then the food of all young animals
should be rich in heterogeneous in
gradients, for those go to build up
bony frame and muscle and blood
and nerves and hoofs and hair. The
corn diet should not be commenced for
any animal until this foundation has
been well laid.

TARIEE TINKERING.
Low Prices Are But Mockery to the
Penniless.

GenntIess.
1t is urged by those who are an
xious to apologize for the present
national administration that the
present low prices OF many products
is because of reduced consumption.
1t is not fair, they say to charge the
responsibility for low prices of life's
staples to the men who are engaged
in tinkering the laws ut Washing
ton, because the low prices are gov
erned by lack of demand. This is
much like the doctors conventional
blanket cause for death, namely.
heart failure. When this appears
on the death certificate, the cause
which has produced the heart failure
is rarely il ever assigned, AS there
is never u heart failure without some
immediate cause for it, so there is
never an abnormal decrease in
the demand for LIES necessi-
ties without conspicuous
cause for it. and this the
apologists know as we'll as they know
that day of reckoning for the hard
ships all classes now endure is rap
luly approaching ihcN huoW WIG"
this decrease in the demand for the
staples of life, for fuel and clothing,
is the direct result of the lack OF
employment from which millions are
now suffering and would not now be
employed had tho tariff policy been
left undisturbed. Low prices arc by
no means blessing, says the Gin
cinnati Times-Star, rs the people OF
India and China have realized for
centuries. To the man who has
nothing and no way OF earning any
thing, cheapness Is n mockery. Give
tho man plenty of work and good
pay, such as was in vogue when the
country was in prosperous condi-
ton, before the Mckinley law was
assaulted. and high prices do not con-
Germ him. The stagnation which
row obtains and which has been
brought on by the tariff thinkers and
which is still nursed by them. Is
what causes the working man to
SILVER and grow hungry, no matter
how low the price OF necessities. An
estoppel should be placed on the
further action of those tariff tinkers
and this can be done by the votes OF
the people.

Cook slowly for four hours, then add
an onion fried in little hot fat, with
half dozen cloves stuck into it, one

stalks of celery, and cook for another
hour, by which time the stock will
have been reduc ed by boiling to two
quarts. Strain into large bowl and

No Use to Throw Dust.

1t is lost time on the part OF Dem
ocratic congressman TO deny to ex-
Speaker Reed the credit OF having
forced them to adopt the quorum
counting rule, first established and
carried into effect by a Republican
congress. The country understands
the case perfectly. Speaker Reed,
with a bare majority of three or four
Republicans, did the business OF the
house with neatness and dispatch,
while Speaker Crisp, with majority
of nearly hundred Democrats, could
do nothing at all. That is the essen
tial fact in the case. The effort to
strip Mr.. Reed of the false colors
under which he is sailing" is sorry
piece of business and g reat waste
of time

Young Animals.

And now the youngsters of our studs
and herds and focks are commencing
to put in their appearance upon the
farm, and the writer feels that word
or two as to their proper reception and
care will not come amiss even to ex-
perienced readers of the FARMERS Re-
VIEW. Well aware are we that what
we shall say has been said many and
many time before, but that matters
little when the Importance of the sub
ject is considered. For instance, one
could not too often condemn the very
common custom of allowing brood
sows to bring forth their young in the
.hog-lot used by all the swine on the
place. Nor is it out of place to remind
owners that nest of mud in
the shelter of rail fence
where the weeds of last year
offer but poor protection against rain
and wind is not more suitable. Your
pigs, neighbor, possibly have better
quarters than these, but all the same
we have seen pigs come under worse
conditions and circumstances To be
sure they did not stay long in such
environments, for the SOW either ate
them herself for want of other food,
or out of sympathy, or the herd joined
in the picnic on the protection prin-
ciple. If a brood SOW is worth keep
ing at all for breeding purposes she
surely deserves to be provided with
comfortable place in which to have
her pigs not merely for her own sake
but that the youngsters may have a
chance to live and thrive and bring
profit to their owner. There is an
other side to this question, for we
must confess it is often a
good thing that the young
pigs die. They are scrubs at best and
no matter how they may be fed will
never prove profitable so that their
loss is least if early. Again in every
litter there is at least one poor pig as a
general rule, and the good manager
will knock it on the head at once and
so give the rest a better chance, just as
we remove the surplus corn plant from
hill to allow the other plants work
room and nutriment. Granted then
that the young pig, and lamb and foal
and calf each come in good place,
warm, well bedded, we'll ventilated
and free from disea Sc germs, there re-
mains to feed it properly. Nature
provides in the mothers milk a
strongly heterogeneous diet. The
first milk is adapted to the
purpose of cleaning out the bowels of
the young animal, and that done,
changes in composition almost daily

Good Results OF Irrigation.

AS another season is drawing near
when we shall plant, there may be
those interested in knowing with
what success irrigation is attended in
places where it is not thought profit
able, or at least is not practiced, says
Mark Hebron in exchange. For
the benefit of such | will give my last
seasons experience with garden.
The piece of ground selected was heavy
clay, about 4x10 rods in dimension,
with a gentle slope lengthwise. A
windmill tank is at the upper end. In
front of this tank l shoveled ditch
across the head of the garden; then
bored the tank and turned the mill
loose. When going to work l cut the
ditch and let the water slowly leak
down the rows, one row at time,
and changed the row about once a
day. This process was kept up during
a drouth which lasted from July l to
the end of the season. Although the
soil was of texture not suited to gar
den culture, the production was double
that of neighboring patches not so
treated and having the advantage of
better soil. We had Croolneck squash,
peas, tomatoes, etc, in great profus-
ion. Those who carry water into gar
dens in pals will realize how much
water it takes in dry time, from the
fact that it kept Perkins windmill
pumping steadily all day and night
to soak the ground between two of
the rows thoroughly.

Prophet watterson indicated.

1t is plain enough now that there
was nothing the matter with Colonel
Watterson's celebrated prophecy
save a slight flaw as to time. He was
quite right in thinking he saw the
Democratic party marching through
a slaughter house to an open grave;
it was only when he said they'd get
there in November, 1892, that he
lapsed into error. The vision tar
ried a bit, as visions have habit of
doing. But the Democrats have
struck the slaughter house now-no
mistake about that-and their pre-
dicted goal is in plain sight.

For the Honor OF the Party.

This year the Republicans should
make it a point to place upon their
ticket none but thoroughly capable
and worthy men. The ticket should
command the respect and confidence
OF all classes of the population. and
ii should combine all the elements
OF strength in the party. If a
ticket OF that sort is put up, it will
be impossible for the enemies OF
common sense government to deieas
it-DcnYer Republican.

CARE FOR THE CHICKs-At this season
of the year, when young chickens are
valuable, we always remove the shells
as fast as the chickens come out. 1t
frequently happens if they are left in
the nest, that other eggs get into and
are partly covered by the old shell
which smothers and keeps the chicks
from getting out. We always take
the young chicks from the nest as fast
as they come out, leaving the mother
hen to bring out the balance. When
all are Matched we place her and the
chickens in suitable place where
they feed on boiled eggs and crumbs
of wheat bread for few days, when
other feed is substituted in part. In
two weeks we feed mostly bread made
from cornmeal, shorts and bran, equal
parts. Fresh water and feed should
be convenient, in order that she will
not remain long from the nest in
search of food and drink, as eggs at
this season soon become chilled

GEN. BOOTHS MEETING.
A Big Rush for Tickets for COnven-
ton Hall Next Monday.

Although the sale of seats for General
Booths Convention Hall meeting of next
Monday evening, November 8, only began
at Droops on Saturday a large number Of
seats have been taken. OF course there
are large numbers of the best seats, still
to be sold, but those who come first will
fare better than those who come later.
The price of the tickets, % cents, was made
SO low expressly for the purpose of giving
everybody a chance to hear General Booth,
but 1t naturally increases the demand for
tickets. In New York much larger prices
were charged, the orchestra chairs and the
boxes at Carnegie Hall being eagerly taken
at opera prices. But New York has a large
population of wealthy persons and Wash
irgton has not, and besides there were
numerous meetings In New York, while
there will be only the one in Washington.
1t ought to be distinctly understood that
General Booth personally does not get one
penny from any of the money raised by
the sale of tickets or otherwise either in
Washington or elsewhere. 1t all goes either
to pay the necessarily large expenses of
such great meetings or the travelling eX-
penses of the officers engaged In the meet
ings or directly to the work of the Saliva
ton Army. General Booth has never made
a dollar out of the Salvation Army, but
on the contrary has spent in its service all
the money that he made by his books and
other publications and by his lectures and
all that his friends have given him except
what was absolutely necessary for his bare
support.

CHRISTIAN SOCIOLOGY.
A Meeting to Form Branch of the
National Institute.

A meeting was held last Friday evening
Of those who are interested in the formation
in this city of a branch of the American
Institute of Christian Sociology. AS is we'll
known, this is national organization, of
which Prof. Ely of the University of Wis
consin is the president, and. as the name
indicates, the purpose of the association is
to claim for the Christian law the ultimate
authority to rule social practice, to study
in common how to apply the principles of
Christianity to the social and economic diff
culties of the present time, and to present
Christ as a living master and king of men,
and His kingdom as the complete ideal of
human society to be realized on earth.
Two weeks ago a meeting was held to
consider the advisability Of organizing a
branch, and Rev. Teunis s. Hamlin was
at that time chosen temporary chairman.
A statement Of these facts was made by
DIR. Hamlin at the meeting Friday night
and it was decided that before attempting
to form an organization another meeting
should be held on Friday of this week at
the same place
A thoughtful paper on criminology was
read by Prof. Thomas Wilson. which was
followed by a discussion that brought out
a great deal Of valuable information. The
interest aroused by this preliminary meet
ing was so great that those present were of
the opinion that a permanent organization
would prove of value to the students of
social questions. AS the membership of the
national organization Is confined to men,
it was concluded that in the formation of a
branch a similar rule would be followed.
