OILING THE HARNESS.

Before the busy season commences
on the farm is good time to oil the
harness, and if any seams are be-
ginning to rip repair them, either with
few stitches or as we commonly do
with copper rivets. First thoroughly
wash the harness so as to have il free
from sweat and dirt. We find the
easiest way to accomplish this is to
take the harness to pieces and soak it
over night in strong soapsuds, having
the water as warm rs is comfortable to
hold the hand in when the harness is
first put in. If too hot it will scald
the leather. When taken out in the
morning, most of the dirt is gone and
little rubbing with coarse rag will
remove the spots that did not soak
Off
Neat's-f foot oil is in the long run the
cheapest oil we have ever found for
oiling leather of any kind, and espe-
cially harness, as it is exposed to the
action of dirt, sweat, and very often
is out in the rain. If the harness is
not very dry, half gallon of oil will
be enough for an ordinary set of har-
ness, though we have seen harness 80
dry that gallon would be none too
much. A nickel's worth of ivory
black will give beautiful color and
polish to the leather if it is mixed
with the oil before using. Be sure,
though, to get ivory black and not
lamp black, as the latter rubs of
badly. Have tho oil warm and as
you take the straps out of the water
run them few times through tho oil,
wipe off with rag and hang up to
dry. If not then soft enough repeat
the operation.
Treat your harness in this way and
it looks like new and if it is oiled about
three times year will outlast three
or four sets that never receive any
oil. 1t is an old saying that "ive oil.
ings equal new harness. Farmers

A b. .nson's Powerful Tug.

The examining surgeons of the
Sixty-ffth Regiment, New York Ma
tional Guard, recently found Samson
at Buffalo. Among the candidates ex-
amined was Bert Bartram, a cartman,
about 32 years old. When he had
stripped for the examination he sat on
chair and asked the physicians to
stand on his ankles. One stood on
each ankle, and then, apparently with
out any great effort, Bartram raised
his legs until they stood like parallel
bars, and held the doctors in the air
for two minutes. Four Hebrew clerks
in Wholesale clothing house found
this Samson week earlier. They
knew that he prided himself on his
strength and put up job on him.
He gets the wages of two men on
account of his great strength.
Bartram was delivering some heavy
cases at the clothing house and lifted
the cases on and off the dray without
the aid of skids. One of the clerks
pointed to big case on the floor and
asked Bartram If he could lift 1t. They
told him it held 700 pounds of cloth.
He offered to bet that he could, and
agreed to return as soon as he had de-
livered the other packages on the
wagon and do the trick for them.
While he was gone the young men
, emptied the case, drove four long
nails through the bottom of ii into
| the floor, and went into the cellar and
clinched the nails. Then they returned
the goods to the box and waited for
Bartram. He appeared at the APP
/ pointed time, strobe over to the case
and took hold of it. 1t didn't bulge.
"Sure there's only 700 pounds in
it?" said he.
| The four young men assured him
that that was all it contained, and
then offered to bet him that he could
not lift it. Bartram put up $40 against
$40 raised by the four clerks. Then
he removed his coat, fastened his big
hands on the case, gave powerful
tug and the case rose in the air with
cracking of timber and a cloud of
dust. Six square feet of the floor
came up with the box. Bartram
pocketed the money and after reprov-
ing the young men for the attempted
fraud went away. The carpenter bill
of SO was paid by the crestfallen
clerks New York Sun.

Lesson From the Far East.

In Japan there lives native scholar
and writer than whom no one has done
more toward introducing education
and civilization into his country. Re-
peatedly he has refused both titles
and remunerative offices.
This man had never sought for
wealth, but he had acquired during
long life of usefulness moderate
sum for his support in later years
about ten thousand dollars in our
money. When the war with China
broke out, he at once gave this money
to his government as his contribution
toward the war expenses, saying that
individuals must make sacrifices for
the cause of patriotism.
This splendid example of love for
the native land illustrates the intensi-
ty of the patriotic spirit in Japan.
The general absence of this unselfish-
ness in China has been one cause of
her defeat. Office has been used to
satisfy personal greed. The govern
ment has been feared and cheated, not
loved and strengthened.
A Japanese student in this country,
talking with an American, said naively,
"In Japan was Christian; here
I do not know what am. do not
understand your young men. They
do not want to do anything for the
country. They want to make money,
or get in Congress, or marry rich
widows and go to Euro pc. In Japan
every young man wants to do some
thing for the country"
Devotion to the general good, ear
nestness in advocating what is for the
interest of all rather than for that Of
the class or individual, willingness to
give ones own time and trouble to ad-
vance needed reform-these are quail
tiles that should be universal. In them
lies the hope of the future. Youths

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Good drainage, natural or artificial
is essential to success.
The busy season is now approach
ing. Are you ready for it?
Remember on ploughing days that q
horses endurance has limit.
Do not be in a hurry to keep the
cows out of the stable at night.
In the spring when the roads are
heavy don't overload the team.
See that all the farming utensils are
in order for the spring and summer
campaign.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be
applied to fruit trees, particularly
after they come into bearing.
Don't work the horses too hard at
first. Let them gradually become ao-
customed to it after their long
Winters rest.
Barn manures are generally more
economically used when applied to
farm crops than when applied to
orchards; yet they can be used with
good results, particularly when re-
juyenating old orchards.
A lesson to learn IN the poultry
business is that egg production is far
more profitable than chicken raising
as commonly followed. A dozen eggs
brings as much in winter as chicken
of ~ or 8 pounds, and are much easier
to raise.
The tin cans filed with sweetened
water and placed at various points in

SHORT BEE TALK.

"Every one las a way of their own"
is an old adage. and suppose just as
applicable to those that handle bees as
it is to any other work. But as We
are never too old to learn, oftentimes
we are benefited by comparing notes,
facts and experience. To be sure there
is not fortune for everyone in bees,
yet If properly conducted "bee keep
ing" is not to be despised.
For the benefit of those who have
had little or no experience with bees, I
will drop few suggestions. As bees
are very much annoyed by noise, place
them rs far as possible from such, and
where there is the least danger of their
being disturbed. 1t is good plan to
have your hives where they can readily
be seen from the house; in that way
much trouble is avoided. But see that
they are we'll protected from the sun
and wind. We never oppose our bees,
but always work quietly, using plenty
of smoke find that decayed wood is
preferable to sulphur.
Those that are afraid of being stung
might find it good idea to protect
the hands by a pair of rubber gloves,
and veil for the head and face; veil
should be long enough to reach we'll
und er the coat.
As the bees are busy about noon, we
plan to work among them then as they
are easier handled, in transferring
there is little danger of attracting rob-
bers.
In the fall if there are any weak
swarms, always unite. Some make
the mistake of housing their bees too
soon; they should not be put in their
winter quarters until severe weather
begins, and then care should be taken
to give good ventilation from above.
Never place them where it is damp or
y ou Waht ocuo
bees. If your cellar is inclined to
dampness, pipe two and one-half
inches in diameter passed up through
the floor and connected with the stove
pipe will serve to overcome the damp
ness.
Unless the winter is exceptionally
cold, bees may be safely wintered on
their summer stands, provided they
have the hive we'll protected with
straw, and are given plenty to live on,
from thirty-five to fifty pounds of
honey makes a good allowanc, for
bees wintered out. Generally speak
ing, would not advise all to leave
the hives Gu the summer stands still 1
assert 1t may be done if precaution is
taken, and think, on the whole the
chances would be no greater than to
undertake to house them in adamp or
poorly ventilated cellar. Farm, Field

REARING YOUNG TURKEYS.

1t is best to confine the brood for
week at least after Matching. Should
the mother hen then become restless,
she may be let out during the middle
of the day. AS the turkey retires
early and dislikes being disturbed af-
ter setting down for the night, be sure
and coop them before the sun sets.
The young turkeys will eat but little
the first week. Feed separate from
the mother, for she will devour all the
food within reach. For downright
greediness, an old hen turkey has few
equals. Dry bread soaked is sweet
milk is one of the best foods for the
young, as is curd from fresh butter
milk. A whole flock has been raised
on warm curd. A custard made of
one egg to pint of milk, thickened
with bread, (no sugar., is good food.
When about two months old, feed
whole wheat, part of the time and mix
corn meal with their feed /; this should
not be fed exclusively. Allow plenty
of liberty, as confinement will kill
young turkeys. When the mother
hen begins tramping wildly from one
side of the coop to the other, better
let her out unless the weathes is unfa-
vorable.
When about the size of partridges
and old enough to follow the mother
in long rambles, the young will need
but little attention, simply little feed
morning and evening. They much
prefer bugs, grasshoppers. insects and
seeds to more civilized ration. Do
not neglect to bring them home at
night and put under shelter until old
enough to fly into trees and care for
themselves. Turkeyh do not always
select wisely the best resting place 70;

attack and annoy them. Teach them
to come at tho sound Of your voice it
will save many weary tramp in search
ing woods and fields.
Six weeks time is sufficient to fat
ten for market Feed twice day all
the whole corn they will eat, but do
not attempt confinement, as q turkey
chafes under restraint and will lose
flesh rather than fatten. They will
not take more exercise than is neces-
sary to keep in good health. -Ameri-

Three Kisses Of Farewell.

Three, only three, my darling,

Not like the swift and Joyous ones
We used to know
When we kissed because we loved each othe
Simply to taste loves sweet,
And lavished our kisses as the summer la
ished heat.
But as they kiss whose hearts are wrung
whenhopo and fear are spent
And nothing is left to give except
A sacrament.
First of the three, my darling,
Is sacred unto pain;
We have hurt each other often,
We shall again.
When we pine because we miss each other,
And do not understand
How the written words are so much colder
Than eye or hand.
kiss thee, dear, for all such pain
Which we may give or take;
Buried, forgiven before it comes
For our loves sake.
The second kiss, my darling,
Il full OF joys sweet thrilli
We have blessed each other always;
We alway will.
We shall reacs until we feel each othsr,
Past all Of time and space;
We shall listen till we hear each other
In every place.
The earth Ia full OF messengers,
Which love sends to and fro;
l kiss thee, darling all for Joy
Which we shall know.
Tho last kiss, o, my dazzling,
My love- cannot see
Through my tears, as remember
What it may be.
We may died and never see each other,
Die with no time to give
Any sign that our hearts are faithful
To die, as live.
Token Of what they will not see
Who see our parting breadth,
This one last kiss my darling, sealJ
The kiss of death.
