WORK FOR THE COLTS.

A Good Thing Provided the Young AMI
mails Are Not Overtasked.
That violent and continuous hard
work would injure a colt or an imma-
ture horse will be clearly admitted.
That many farmer raisers of draft
colts have failed in many instances to
make some profitable use of strong,
well-grown colts, is equally true.
Visiting farm recently we found 1t
had been thought necessary to hire an
extra horse for work part of the day.
Standing idle in the stable, because it
was not convenient to have him on
pasture, was sturdy grade draft colt
two years old, and weighing 1880
pounds or more. He had never had
harness on. Two colts a year older
were doing practically full work on
the farm. They were carefully
handled and, probably, were not being
injured, although required to do more
than one likes to see asked of colts at
their age. There Is no reason to be-
lieve that moderate, light work would
have been of the slightest injury to
the two-year-old-but it is not the Gus
tom to work colts at that age-at least
not in ordinary work. Many two
year-old trotting or running colts are
made to do excessive work in train
ing or in races. Many of these are in
jured by their work, but it is the
opinion of very many good trainers
that reasonable work, even at high
speed, need not do harm to the colt, ii
reasonable care be taken not to over
task them.
Many boy of tender years is re-
auired to do hard work, even on farms
where it would be thought almost
monstrous to ask a two-year-old colt to
help in the light work of the farm
Better leave the colts idle than to in
jure them by overwork, but neither
extreme is necessary. On farms where
considerable numbers OF colts are
reared they may not be needed for
work, but on many, where one or two
are raised each year, moderate work
at busy time may be decided help
and do no harm to the young animals.

BREATHING APPARATUS,
An Invention Which May Prove y Pana-
cea to Firemen.


cea to Firemen.
President Goetz, of the Cincinnati
board of fire commissioners, has re.
ceived from New York most ingen-
ious apparatus which, If it will ac-
complish all that is claimed for it, will
prove panacea to firemen.
The device is patented by an eastern
inventor, and may rightly be termed a
breathing apparatus. With it fremen
can enter burning buildings filed with
densest smoke and death-dealing gases
with perfect impunity. At an exhibi.
ton recently made a room was filed
with smoke produced from a fire fed
with shavings, tar, sulphur and cayenne
pepper, making the apartment abso-
lutely untenantable.
The inventor attached the respirator
to his back and taking the end Of the
breathing tube in his mouth entered
the room with an assistant, who was
likewise equipped. Both men remained
in the room for over a quarter of an
hour and could have remained longer.
Then the respirator was removed and
the fltering material inserted in the
tube was taken out. The material

small English cottages for the Phila-
delphia settlers, but the thrifty Ger.
mans of the interior of Pennsylvania
were long content with houses OF
hewed logs and barns of vast capacity.
The Swedes of New Jersey built houses
with palisade sidings of split timber
set upright. The Dutch of New York
and the Hudson river region closely
initiated the dwellings of their ances-
tors.
But the finest colonial houses, such
rs were built by the governors and
divines of New England, the landed
gentry of New York and the great pro-
prietors of the south, were copied from
English country houses and halls. An
example of this style, modified to meet
the requirements of modern life, illus
trates this article.
This style is essentially costly one.
The structure must be of ample size to
give it dignity, md good deal OF
carving and other hand work are neces-
sary. Pleasing and appropriate col
ors for the exterior are almost as essen

Hogs need salt as regularly and as
fully as any other stock on the farm,
and as with other stock in nearly all
cases the better plan is to keep sup
ply where they can help themselves
rather than to depend upon giving
them small supply at stated inter
walls. If they are obliged to go with
out for some time and then have access
to all they can eat at once, there is
always some danger Of their eating too
much. A better plan than that OF Civ
ing salt alone, even when supply IS
kept where they can help themselves,
is to take ashes and salt and mix well
together, put in box in corner or
the feeding place and replenlsh oeIore
the box is entirely empty. The hogs
will help themselves and Will Keep
healthier and thriftier than If the salt
ing is only done at intervals.-Prairis

The cost: Well built, without ex-

In conclusion, it may be said that our

consists, among other things, of cotton
which was found to be blackened with
smoke and impurities.
The breathing machine consists Of
three small cylinders, the central one
containing glycerine. The air is first
drawn through layers of cotton wad-
ding, some dry and some moist with
glycerine, and between these are layers
Of bone black or animal charcoal.
The two outside cylinders are filled
with these substances, and after the
Air has been drawn up through them
By the breathing force Of the lungs it
passes through the glycerine for final
washing. BY this time it has not only
been cleared of smoke and other i'm.
purities, but It has also been cooled
and is in fit condition to be breathed
into the lungs. The fireman using this
apparatus also wears pair of clamps,
which are placed on the nose SO as to
close the nostrils, so that all the air
breathed is taken through the purify
ing apparatus and reaches the lungs
by the mouth. The mouthpiece has
been so arranged that the air expired
is allowed to escape through set OF
valves like those in the helmet of
diver.
Where the smoke is very thick hel.
met has been provided, with which the
mouthpiece of the respirator may be
connected. This is made of buckskin,
and it is fitted with dark glasses to
protect the eyes. The rubber hose
which connects the respirator with the
mouthpiece is loose and flexible, so that
the fireman can turn his head in any
direction
The clever machine may also be
utilized with advantage in mines,
chemical factories or any other places
where noxious gases prevail, and where
men are constantly exposed to this un-
seen enemy, whose blow falls with
such quick and deadly effeot.-Cincin.
