In the longest days Of the year, and
when on the farm the hardest work
Of the year has to be done. there should
be generally a longer rest at noon than
Is usually taken. The early morning
and toward evening are the most COM
Portable times to work out OF doors.
But with a day nearly, or quite, fif-
teen hours long, there must be a con-
siderable resting place In the middle
of the day II health is to be preserved.
The noon dinner may take half an hour
or more. but after that should be rest
OF a full hour or two, and II part OF
that time be spent in sleep both body
and brain will be refreshed. Few know
how great is the dependence OF the
nerves on sleep for their continuance
in vigorous health. A MONDAY rest
of not less than two hours Will enable
more work TO be done than can be Sc
cured without IL. II storms threaten
when crops have to be secured the
noon rest may be omitted. for In such
case when rain comes there Will be
longer opportunities for resting and
even for sleeping than will be desir
able.

Selling Young Pipe.

There is always profit In breeding
pigs. providing the breeder is not too
greedy, and Is willing to sell his stock
at reasonable rates. Live and let live
should always be the rule. In nothing
is this more true than In the breeding
and sale Of stock. 1t is very easy
to get a surplus Of stock greater than
can be either kept or fattened with
profit. AS the pigs grow older It costs
more to produce a pound additional
growth. and what is worse. this extra
weight Is not worth so much per pound
as is that OF the smaller pig. The sow
pigs may be worth more as they grow
older II set to breeding, but the farmer
who breeds pigs largely to sell while
young does not walt for the sows to
get TO breeding age before disposing
OF them. He leaves some Of the profit
to the purchaser OF his stock. as every
stock seller ought to do. II no one did
this the race Of buyers would quickly
run out, and then the grower OF young
pigs would be worse of than ever.

IL used to be the rule TO keep horses

after they had been working through
the forenoon or afternoon, until they
had eaten their feed and had cooled
down. This was considered necessary
In order to prevent injury from taking
cold water while the system Is heated.
But this is cruel to the horses. as they
cannot eat what they should II they are
parched with thirst The better way is
to give each horse in the middle OF the
forenoon a pail OF water into which a
small quantity of oatmeal has been
stirred. This will refresh and invigo-
rate the horse without doing any injury,
and will prevent him from being injur-
ed by drinking freely at noontime. The
drink being nourishlng, rallies the

the terrible events which happened dur.

with General Howard in pursuit. She
would often tell OF how, when the Ind

would take their babies and lay down in
