POINTS FOR HoRsEMAN.

Joints FOR HORSEMAN.
Economy in feeding does not mean
stinting.
A change of food will be ,preciated
be it ever so small.
Feed cautiously. Over feeding is
just as bad under feeding.
Bad days can be utilized to a good
purpose by fixing the stables.
Two or three surplus horses may eat
up more than the busy horses earn.
A good lantern kept in goad condi-
tion is one of the necessities about a
stable.
Young horses should not be deprived
of what little sunshine there is uring
the winter.
Plenty of good, dry bedding is what
makes tie horses feel good after hard
days work.
Some of the apples or turnips that
are not good enough for table use will
do the coils lots of good.
Keep stalls cleaned of the manure if
you would avoid many diseases which
horses are heir to.
If you cannot keep your horses in
the best possible condition do not keep
them at all. 1t would be better to give
them away than to starve them.
Comfort ought to be the first thing
looked after in the arrangement of the
stable. If you make your horses COM
Portable they will sta much more
hard work.
If you have the room to spare fix up
a good box stall in one end of the stable
it will not cost much 10 do it nor take
much time. You will wonder how you
ever got along without one, after you
have tried it.
A man who can sit around a good,
warm Gre and enjoy himself on cold
winter nights while his horses are shiv-
ering in cold, uncomfortable stables,
has not much conscience, and should
be deprived of the comfort which he
denies his faithful servants.

TMERE are three senatorial dead
locks in State Legislatures, Delaware,
Idaho and Oregon being thus afflicted,
all. three Of whom are entitled to Re-
publican representation in the Senate.
The situation In Delaware is familiar
TO everybody. The disgraceful state
of affairs 10 all the greater here be
cause 1t is the general belief that the
obstruetionistaare not Influenced by
an honest or logical conviction as to
the unfitness Of the leading candidate,
and their bull-headedness smacks of
very nnsavory dealings. The apathy
with which the masses of the Repub-
lican party seem to view this repre-
hensible state of affairs is to our mind
q great party humiliation. Where is
the honor and manhood of the party

Of condemnation upon such unwise,

THE oLD-FAsH1oNED FIREPLACE.

How dear to my heart are the days of my
childhood,
When there were no cold gas stoves to rouse
a mans ire;
When the hickory backlog, brought in from
the wildwood,
Gave out the bright heat of the old-fashion-
ed fire!
How it cracked and sparkled, and fiuttered
and frightened!
How nice 1t all seems when it's put into
rhyme!
Yet, to tell the plain truth, to our youth un-
enlightened,
You couldn't warm more than one side at
time.
All, the old-fashioned fireplace, the roaring
old freplacei
How brightly it glowed with its sparkle and
shine!
How it warmed up your shins to point of real
torture,
While the cold winter breezes played tag ON
your spine! Indianapolis Journal.

There is mistaken idea that "cu,-

passages from late popular books. AS
matter of fact culture means moth

ABOUT VALENTINES.
There are two errors for maidens to
avoid. They must not seek to discover
who has sent them comic valentines.
because they will but increase their
list Of foes if they sncceed. And they
must not seek to discover the senders
of burning words of admiration, for
those sender, ii discovered, might
not care to follow up the valentine
by proposing.
One should always try to make
every anniversary an occasion of
profit to herself. Valentines Day can
serve really ennobling and elevating
purpose if the recipient of valentines
will take all the fiattering ones with
a liberal sprinkling of salt and all the
insulting ones as warnings of the
towards which she may be
tending.
fhe woman who wishes to be real
benefactor OF her race will take firm
stand against the growing tendency |
to convert the good old day Of love
tokens into another accursed excuse
or present giving and present-getting.
The calendar has already enough
iates dedicated to the barter of gifts
let not st. Valentines Day be 50.
