Taking Care of the Colts.

The season has arrived when tie
weanling colts should be especially
cared for and not be exposed to the
cold rains and sleets of early winter.
The foundation laid in the constitution
of the colt determines the usefulness
and value Of the horse. there is too
much carelessness among the breeders
in their attention to the comfort Of the
growing colts. If they are exposed to
The cold rains and sleetS they are lin
bic to contract the distemper and lose
their growth during the winter. and
the profit in horse-raising, as in cattle
raising, is largely determined by early
maturity, and this cannot be accom-
plished without liberal feeding aud
reasonable protectit II from the incle n
ency of the weather. The colt should
be taught to eat grain while following
it's dam, and be given generous ra-
ton during the first winter, in order to
insure permanent growth.

Sowing Spring wheat in the Fan.


TO determine the practicability Of
sowing spring wheat in fall, and also,
the time to sow for best results, fifteen
sowings of yariety known as Yellow
stone Fife We're made at different in
teVals during the fall Of 1894 by the
Montana Experiment station at Boze-
man. Beginning Aug. 8, small plat
was sown each week until the ground
was frozen aud winter began, Nov. 80.
Early seedlings made nice growth anu
were in good condition when winter set
in, but latsr sowin2s We're just coming
IT,. Early paintings almost wholly
killed out, and the intermediate only
partially, and the latest showed no
damage from the winter-killing, The
stand being almost perfect. The plats
We're irrigated twice and kept free
from weeds. The first six plats sown.
from Aug. 8 to Sept. IA, gave an aver
age yield of 3.:5 bushels per acre The
next five plats. seeded from Sept 21
to Oct. 10, yielded an average of 12.7
bushels per acre. The average yield of
the four plats, soWn from Oct. 26 10
Nov. 10, was at the rate of $50 bushels
per acre.

Il woman's fancy
Almost year had passed when one
day Dagmar appeared before her mis-
treSs, a letter in her hand and her face
very white. My father needs me,
and | must go back to Grenna," she
said, simply. Il would like to start to-
morrow
why, what bad news have you re-
ceived, Dagmar!'
Lady, that black-eyed Signe has
broken my fathers heart, and l must
go to comfort him. Signe has run
away to America, he thinks, with her
old lover, and left her young baby
with no one to care for it. Now, love
my father, he loves the baby, and /
must go to take care of them both
But | shall never forget your beautiful
land and the home | have found here .
Her mistress sympathy was stirred
and, though she was sorry to loseF a
truSty servant, she assisted Dagmar in
every way to make ready for her sud-
den departure. D&gmar's only request
was that she might carry bacE1 with
her small silk flag as a memento.

Der day, and at dusk that evening a
small boat stopped at Grenna. Lars
was waiting at the dock, but hardly
recognized little Dagmar, for, to his
eyes, she seemed a grand lady in her
American finery He touched his cap
respectfully and called her ''Fruken."
She reached out her hand imploring-
ly and said in her sweet, mother
tongue: Don't, Lars; [ want this to
seem like home coming
'Grenna has not been home to me
since Dagmar went out from us, and
never will be until she comes back to
stay. VIII you, Dagmar, stay and
make a home for Lars, who has al
ways loved you, and the father who
has so anXiously looked for YOU"
There was no affectation or coyneSs
about her answer. She looked straight
into the honest blue eyes and said:
NO place could ever be home to me
without you, Lars"
At their approach her fathers worn
face lighted with joy, as it had not
done since cruel Signe's flight.
Over the cradle of the sleeping child
Dagmar and Lars plighted their troth
and Dagmar drew from her bosom the
little silk American flag, saying: Zone

cans, the anniversary of my home
coming, and shall have a Thanksgiv-
ing day in Sweden, for | feel that

Whisky, which is more democratic
than wine, is distilled from various

Dreadful


No disease has puzzled the doctors
SO completely as rhernlatis1n-that de-
plorab!e condition of the blood which
SO often renders the strongest man as
helpless as a babe. Their mercuria1
and potash remedies may in some
cases iinpart temporary relief, but are
sure to ultimately result in wrecking
the entire system.
! Rheumatism is a deep-seated blood
disease and only a real blood remedy
will have any effect whatever upon
it. Most Of h so-ca11ed blood ren1e-
dies are at best only tonics and can
not reach an obstinate blood trouble.
One of the most frequent symptoms of
rheumatism is a ting1ing sensation Of
the parts affected, generally brought
about from a lack Of free circulation
Of tl,e blood through the very small
blood conductors. This trouble is al
ways eliminated by the use of S. S. S.;
it thiIls the blood, gives it a free and
forcib1e circulation, destroys the pois-
cnous microbes and restores the circu-
latiOn to its normal condition.
Mr.. Robert H. Fling, a prominent
and influential citizen of West Point,
Va, writes of his experience with this
dread disease:
"-:-bout five years ago I was a great
sufferer from rheumatism. I was
treated by all the leading physicians
