horses-bred on the Western ranches.
The hides of these beasts are worth to

serving Of a good profit for Kidding

putting their carcasses to some good

and farmers who breed such scrubs,
or must We denounce them as unwor-

q land that has the climate, soil and
feed which can produce the best
horses In the world? How much has
the trolley car to do with the degrade

OF choice saddle and carriage horses is
yet high. and so long as men love dis

that will pay the skill of the breeder

Failures with Incubator..

Too much curiosity and anxiety 10
the cause of many failures that occur
with %incubators. The most difficult
part of the operation Is to abstain
from interference with the egg drawer.
Just at the time of the coming out Of
the shell changes Of temperature in
the incubator are fatal to the young
chicks. 1t is well known that when
a hen is OF the nest engaged in hatch
ing nothing will induce her to expose
the egg after she is aware that the
chicks are coming out. She will leave
the eggs at other times, to get food
and water, hut not when the chicks
are Matching. The same rule applies
to the incubators. AS soon as the eggs
begin to hatch close the drawer and
keep 1t closed until as many Of the
chicks are out as can be expected and
there will be fewer of them die in the
shell. Inquisitive neighbors, who wish
to be gratified, should be told that they
cannot be accommodated. Keep the
drawer shut and have patience. The
result will be o satisfactory than
would be the case if the chicks were
exposed to changes occasionally.

One Of Eugene Fields Latest Poems.
The wind comes whispering to me Of
the country green and cool,
OF redwing blackbirds chattering be
side a reedy pool;
Il brings me soothing fancies Of the
homestead on the hill,
And l hear the thrush'S evening sons
and the robins morning trill;
So I fall to thinking tenderly Of those
/ used to know
Where the sassafras and snakero0t
and checkerberries grow.
What has become of Ezra Marsh. who
lived on Bakers hill?
And what's become of Noble Pratt,
whose father kept the mill?
And what's become Of Lizzie Crum
and Anastasia Smell.
And Of ROxie Root. who tended school
in Boston for a spell!
They were the boys and they the girls
who shared my youthful play;
They do not answer to my call! My
playmates, where are they?
What has become Of Levi and his lit
tie brother Joe,
Who lived next door to where we lived
some forty years ago?
I'd like to see the Newton boys and
Quincy Adams Brown.
And Hepsy Hall and Ella Cowles, who
spelled the whole school down!
And Oracle Smith, the Cutler boys
Leander Snow, and all
Who l am cure would answer could
they only hear my call!
I'd like to see Bill Warner and the
Conkey boys again.
And talk about the times We used t.
wish that we were men!
And one, l shall not name her, could
see her gentle face
And hear her girlish treble in this dis
tant, lonely place!
The flowers and hopes Of sprlngtime
they persisted long ago.
And the garden where they blossomed
is white with winter snow.
0 cottage meath the naples, have you
seen those girls and boys
That but a little while ago made, oh,
such pleasant noise?
o trees. and hills, and brooks, and
lanes, and meadows, do you know
Where l shall find my little friends Of
forty years ago?
You see, I'm old and weary, and I've
Travelled long and far;
I am looking for my playmates; I won

RED Pepper for Poultry.

Red pepper should never be given in
large quantities. The practice Of put
ting red pepper in all the soft food
should be discarded. The best effect
from Its use is when it is given once
or twice q week. and half q grain for
each fowl is sufficient. If given con-
stantly the birds become habituated
to it's Use, and then it does more harm
than good. 1t Is only a temporary
stmulant and serves best when the
birds are not in full health. Sulphur
should also be given cautiously. The
best regular tonic is the Douglas mix
ture in the drinking water. 1t Is
cheap, costing about 5 cents a gallon,
and is composed OF one pound Of cop
ounce Of sulphuric acid, u teaspoonful
peras, two gallons soft water and an
being added to each quart of drinking

The feeding Of poultry has been re

year; let the growth Of trees and
vines become hardy and woody and
more able to withstand the vicissi-

The objection to seeding down an

Root killing.

Many inquiries are being made as to
the cause Of the entire destruction Of
grape vines which have been planted
one and two years. 1t is because they
have been root-killel by freezing out
during the winter. In many instances
DID vineyards have suffered and have
been killed out very badly. Last fall
the ground froZe up dry, and remained
IN that condition all winter and thaw-
cd out in the same way, There is prob
ably nothing harder on vegetation
than this condition of the soil during
the winter, and nothing can be more
injurious to the roots. The same cause
produced great destruction Of clover,
ard induced a large amount Of root
injury that made vegetation start very
slowly in the spring and in an en-.
feebled condition.
The prevention of root-killing is not
very difficult. Good cultivation should
be practiced all summer, and in the
fall young vines should he covered
