HEBRON CLASS.

iarly summer In deciding what va
rieties to plant, it is we'll to consider
the demands of the market which is
expected to furnish buyers, and the
kind of soil and treatment required.
Each variety has its likes and dislil1es,
and it Will pay the grower to crafty
them.
In order to distinguish the different
types of potatoes, it may be said that
the Burbank class includes all white
l1idney-shaped potatoes, the leading
varieties at this time being Morning
Star" white Star" Dandy" "White
Flower" buttons Seeding" etc.
The Hebron class includes all flesh
colored or pink and white notified pota-
toes, the principal varieties being
white Elephant" June Eating"
Gen. Garfield" "Albino," etc.
The Rose class includes all red pota-
toes, but is subdivided into three i'm

The PnIsn of a Horae.

In horses the pulse at rest beats for
ty times minute. 1t may be felt
wherever a big artery crosses a bone.
1t is generally felt in the horse where
it crosses over the bone of the lower
jaw in front of its curved position, or
in the bony ridge above the eye. Any
material variation of the pulse from
the above may be considered as sign
of disease. If rapid, hard and full, ia ls
an indication of high fever or infam-
nation; if rapid, small and weak, low
fever, loss of blood or weakness. If
slow, the possibilities point to brain
disease, and if irregular, to heart-trou-
bles. This is one of the principal and
sure tests of the health of an ANIMAL
Rural World.

A Device by Means OF Which Wool IL
Easily Prepared for Market.
The illustration represents one of the
most common devices for tying wool.
1t is made of three boards, each inch
thick and / foot wide. The middle
board is cut into three pieces, the ends
being fastened to the middle piece by
the hinges A, A, A, A. This allows
the ends e, e, to be raised to vertical
position. The side boards are fastened
by the hinges B, to the center piece II,
which allows them to be turned up
making trough-shaped box. At O, o
@, @, are fat, steel, strap springs which
sink into the wood like the spring in
an umbrella handle. After the sides
of the box have been turned up the
ends e, e, are also raised until they
press past the springs which hold them
In position. At D, D, d, II, make shall
low V-shaped grooves q to A-inch
wide to hold the Irvine in place while
the fleece is being folded, Make the
number of grooves equal to the mum,
Der of strings with which the fleece Is
to be tied.
Drop all the leaves making fiat sur
face. Place the Irvine in the grooves
and spread the fleece over it with the
cut side down. Turn in the outer

AMONG THE POULTRY.

FEEDING too much corn will produce
apoplexy.
IT is good plan to put sitting hens
on the nest in the evening.
THE breed that lays great many
eggs does not produce the best table
fowls.
Hen feeding and excessive fat will
cause even a naturally non sitting hen
to sit.
CROWDED hens cannot do as well in
egg production as hens that are not
crowded can.
CHICKEN meat is the equal of any
meat that comes on the table, and il
costs less to produce it than it does to
produce either pork, beef or mutton.
For turkey raising, says a writer in
Farm and Home, l set hen on 10 eggs
they all Matched and lived by feeding
hard boiled eggs and light bread
crumbs the first two weeks; ther
cracked wheat. They were kept per
fectly dry.

TIE HERO or THE HOUR.


The man who, when temptations
Around hun fiercely play,
Stands firm, unmoyed mistaken.
Is hero OF the day.
He needs no blazoned banner
To tell of battles fought;
The world knows we'll his triumphs,
1t crowns him all unsought.
There comes to each moment
Somewhere along life'S way,
When some supreme temptation
Confronts him in the fray
A moment fraught so deeply
With either veal or woe,
That angels watch the conflict
While earthward bending low.
'Tis then the soul stands naked
Before the powers that be,
And bravely fights for honor,
Or sinks down helplessly.
But he who stands the testing,
And Genes out from the fray
Unscathed, unframed, mistaken,
Is hero Of the day.

Readers for Cigarmakers.

"Literature and tobacco go together
in Key West" said citizen of that
tight little island. Every cigar fac,
tory has its regularly employed read
er, who comes to work with the rest of
the people in the morning and reads
to them all day"
"Who pays the reader?"
""rhe work people, A small amount
is deducted for this purpose from the
wages of each employee. The plan is
adopted by the manufacturers as an
economical expedient. 1t keeps the
workers from talking, and SO prevents
interruption of their labor"
But why should not the work PEG
pie roll cigars and talk at the same
time?"
Because they cannot talk without
gesticulating. That wouldn't do a.
all, you see. Besides, the reader, 10y

Different Varieties and How They May BE
Readily Distinguished.
TO the majority Of people there are
only two classes of potatoes, the good
and tho poor, Farmers recognize four
principal classes, but with the experts
who make astudy of their development
the classes go far beyond such a simple
division, while the number of varieties
is something overwhelming to novice
in potato lore. At the Columbian fair
the New York potato exhibit alone
contained two hundred and fifty varie-
ties.
Experiments which are now being
carried on to increase the quantity of
starch in the potato have met with
great success. In Europe the Germans
stand at the head in potato culture, but

Why Stock Farming PAYS.

1t pays to keep stock even when it
is low in price. We all know that
stock growing keeps our farms in bet
ter heart than grain growing; that by
steadily growing grain and selling it
our farms gradually run down, while
with stock growing we can keep them
up to a high state of fertility. 1t is
for just the reason here shown. The
farmer who sells ton of wheat worth,
,sy. so or s25 sells S7.75 worth of nj
trogen, phosphorus acid and potash,
while the farmer who sells a ton Of
sheep worth $50 or 800 sells only 81. *

IT is not likely that we will soon

trouble is, or at least one of the trou'
bles is, that the cable to carry the wires
must be quite a foot thick, 1t would
be an enormously costly business, and
difficult one, to lay cable of that
size. To lay it in one piece would be
out of the question; it would have to be

laid, there is no knowing that it would
not prove a failure, 1t is likely that,
