How to Treat a Wife.

First, get a wife; second, be
patient. You may have great
TRIALS and perplexities in your

ry to your home cloudy or con-
tracted brow. Your wife may
have trials, which, though of less
magnitude, may be hard for her to
bear. A kind word, a tender look
will do wonders in chasing from her
browall clouds of gloom.-To this we
would add always keep bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
the house. 1t is the best and is sure
to be needed sooner or later. Your

WHY are the independent al d
the country newspapers of the

to account for it. Subsidized hire

A Farmers Railroad.

Farmer Hines Of Drayton, N D., has q
new theory regarding the relations be-
tween agricultural producers and rail-
ways. He says; Farmers must build
their own railways" In pursuance Of
which he has already built forty miles
of road. Farmers from North Dakota
and Minnesota agreed to work on the
lines for consideration OF SlS per month,
payable in the stock Of the company, 50
a month in cash and a supply OF
provisions. In the northern Minnesota
woods there are at the present time over
200 men cutting trees and laying out a
road-bed. The road is to run from
Grafton to Duluth, q distance by the
Great Northern railway of 4l2 miles,
whereas by the new route it will be only
28l. Mr.. Hines argues that if it pays a

aThs Bsst Farm IN the WOrld.D

Possibly there are many Of the readers Of
the ADVOCATE who would be 10th to admit
that the best farm in the world cannot be
found In some part Of the United States
and it is just possible that the particular
spot of ground entitled 10 this eminent dis
tinctiOn would be variously designated ac-
cording TO the individual views Of the par
ticular reader. However, we may state In
all fairness, and certainly without desire to
belittle our American sgriculturists-and
even granting them the opportunity to de-
fend themselves against the charge Of not
being the owners Of the "best farm in the
world"-that this title has for some time
been held by what Is known as the world
famed LOngbeach Estate, and that 1t is To-
Gated In New Zealand. Early in February
the harvest season was at It's height at
Longbeach, and the enterprising Weekly
Press, published at Christchurch, sent q
special representative with instructions to
furnish the paper with q rep'ete report OF
the interesting event, as disclosed by the
operations upon this renowned estate.

whereas the climate Of the district brings

machine. They did really good work ii
the heavy, tangled crops, but when they
got into clean piece, the 2S8 acres Of Tus-
can, for instance, they delivered most
neatly bound, even -butted sheaves, leaving
o beautifully clean, close stubble, with
very marked absence Of litter. Each ma
chine, drawn by team Of two horses only,
cut, tied and delivered the heavy sheaves
Of grain with the greatest regularity, ev-
erything running smoothly, and almost
noiselessly, and the draft being so light
that even In the heaviest and greenest OF
the crops the two horses were never dis
tressed, blazing hot as the weather was"
Just prior to the harvest season, Mr..
Grigg bought train-lOad Of Mccormick
harvesters from Messrs. Morrow, Bassett
& Co., Of New Zealand, ''snd," continues
the writer, "thiS house Is to be congratu-
lated on having so many Of the Mccormick
machines holding the pride Of place on this
splendid estate, for If they give, as they are
doing, unqualified satisfaction ON Long
beach, there Is no fear Of anything ap-
preaching failure In any other direction.
AS an instance Of the produce which an
nually goes of Longbeach, 1t may be stated
that at WinslOw, small hamlet, and the
nearest railway station to LOngbeach, there
is yearly paid sum of $4,000 (abOut
5000 for freight. Where the interest
involved is Of such magnitude every risk
Is, Of course, reduced to minimum. Men
as already mentlOned-horses and ma
chInery must all be Of the best type. The
breakdown Of single reaper and binder
for a day might expose 9lOO worth of grain
to danger from the capriclous elements.
Consequently no visitor should miss seeing
the implements and machinery, for what
finds favor at Longbeach may safely be
taken as thoroughly reliable and efficient"

Curry the Farm Horses.

Horses on the farm do not have the
sleek look that horses in city liVeriOs
have. Neither will they accomplish so
much work. The difference Is partly
owing to the fact that the horse in the
city has large proportion ofgrain, while
the farm horse, even when working, gets
most of his nutrition from hay. But
grooming has also good deal to do
with the superior sickness Of the city
horses coat. The currycomb is not 80
much used as it should be on farm horses.
We know many places where the brush
and currycomb are seldom used except
while the horse is shedding it's coat.
But used at any time it promotes the
secretion OF oil, which molstens the coat
and makes it shine. A well-groomed
horse Is usually we'll fed. But il the
grooming were thoroughly done at least
once day, the horse could keep in good
condition with less feed than it now re-
ceives. Good grooming undoubtedly
