Handy style of whee1barrow.

A deep wheelbarrow is more useful
than one built ON the old plan, be-
cause it will hold more, and the work
of building such a barrow is not much
greater. Any one who owns wheel
and irons belonging to an old wheel
barrow can easily construct one by
first procuring two stout pieces for
the shafts and mortising them together
firmly just behind the wheel. The
next mortiSe must come inches from
the ground on the legs at A. From this
mortise the floor of the barrow must
reach forward to B, where it is sup
ported by two false legs mortised into
the shafts and reaching within 2 inches
of the ground. The sides may be solid
from the floor up, or if preferred they
may extend only to the top Of the
shafts, and. from this point movable
side boards may extend upward. The
only disadvantage in having the body
solid is in being forced to remove most
of the load from between the handles

There was perhaps just little malice in
her tone.
"Miss Stella Raeburn is about the pref

"She has got perfect features, golden

An interruption here occurred. Mr..
Vereker was summoned to the door OF
the billiard-room, and asked to speak to
the agent who had just arrived from
Dundee on business. He did not come
back for several minutes; but when he
returned his face was little grave and
pale, and his manner had grown sub
dued.

he said, while the company halted in their
game and looked at him in surprise. "You

The Quality of Timothy Hay.
One reason why timothy hay is IA
vorite in the markets is it's uniformity
Of quality. Not being so heterogeneous
as clover, it is much less likely to be
injured by being wet and heating. The
variation in quality is mainly due to
early or late cutting, though some liv-
cry stable keepers prefer the fully
ripened timothy, which is least nutri-
tious because the horse likes the tim
othy seeds. Glover hay is very apt to
become musty and dusty if it has been
exposed to fermentation. Timothy hay
will not be dusty unless cut in the
bloom, and the dust is not so injurious
as that from partly decayed clover.

Sweet Apples for Horses.

A quart or two Of sweet apples per
day for each horse will be worth more
to it than the same bulk of oats addi-
tional to it's regular ration of hay and
grain. The apples are better than any
kind of roots, and this year they are
everywhere cheap and plenty. Sour
apples are nearly as good, but the
horses prefer the sweet apples when
they can be had. In nutritive value
there is very little difference. There
is much sweet in what we call ''sour''
apple, which is only called ''sour'' be-
cause an acid DISCUSSES the sweet it
contains.

favor August 81 as the date and

time a future date for a general

to take final action, all well and
