Horses Keen Instinct.

The horse has strong sense of
smell. He will leave musty hay un-
touched in his bin, no matter however
hungry; neither will he drink objec-
tionable water, however thirsty. His
intelligent nostril will widen, culver
over the daintiest bits offered by the
fairest hands. Blind horses, Tit-Bits
says, will gallop wildly about a pasture
without striking the surrounding
fence. The sense of smell informs
them of it's proximity. Others will,
when loosened from the stable, go to
the gate of bars opening to their accus-
toned Backgrounds. The horse, in
browsing, is guided to it's choice of
proper food entirely by its nostrils.
Blind horses do not make mistakes in
their diet. In the temple of Olympus
bronze horse was exhibited, at the
sight of which real horses experienced
the most violent emotions. It is said
that in casting the statute magician
had thrown hippomanes upon it, which,
by the odor of the plant, deceived the
horses, and therein is the secret of the
miracle.

There is no use to plant them outdoors
so long as there is any danger from
frost or even so long as the nights are
very cool, although actual frost does
not occur. One-half dozen plants will
be sufficient for moderate sized fam

cured from the florist or plant grower,
they are far preferable to those taken
up direct from the seed bed. Until re-

stated to be remarkably productive and

Get the Housewife Outdoors.

Were man I would bring into the
life of my wife just as much sunshine
as l possibly could. l would provide
her with q horse and carriage to drive
when the cares and duties Of the day
were over that she could enjoy a
breath of sweet, fresh abr, which her
indoor life almost excludes her from.
1t is true that woman's possibilities OF
enjoyment are no less keen than MANS,
nor her sensibilities to neglect less fine
ly developed. The true, useful and de-
voted woman, with her husbands in.-
terests at heart, intelligent and cul-.
tured, capable of acquiring every
branch of knowledge which adorns the,
human mind, should have the same
rights and privileges as man, and find
the same encouragement in all that
makes life and home better and hap
pier in the fullest, truest, sweetest
sense.-Mrs. Z. e. Drury, Norland, Me-,

Fair Farmers.

Well, why shouldn't farmers girls
study agriculture? Is there any good
reason why the State should provide
for the educa ton of the farmers boys
and allow the girls to get their training
wherever they can? Wouldn't it be a
good thing to introduce coeducation at
the agricultural colleges? These ques-
tons may have been raised before now,
but we do not think they have been
adequately discussed. Perhaps there
has not been sufficient demand on the
part of the country girls for an agricul-
tural education. 1t may be that they
are too DESTROYS to leave the farm to
think of preparing themselves for wo-
mans work on the farm.
Minnesota has girls school of agri-
culture, said to be the only one in the
country. 1t has been established for
many years, and the results are men
toned with pride by the Minnesota pa
pers. The students receive instruc-
tons in cooking, canning, fruit and
flower culture, dairying, household
chemistry, entomology and sewing, and
the farmer who gets one Of these we'll
trained girls for wife is very FORUM
ate. Any one can see how a woman
educated in agricultural pursuits to
which she is adapted may make herself
very useful and very contented on the

Rive EXPORTS.

While rye is always prone to follow
wheat in it's fluctuations, the price
has been at a much greater discount
than am average, one year with an
other. To this must be accorded the
sharp increase in the export business,
which amounted to nearly 100000
bushels during the past nine months
compared with only $4,000 bushels the
same period year earlier. Were there
any adequate outlet, however, we could
spare much more of our annual crop,
which approximates 3O,OUO,0O bushels.
1t is here seen that low prices help rye

An interesting Butter Experiment.

An interesting experiment has been
recently made by the Queensland gov
eminent in regard to the export of but
ter to Great Britain. Hitherto the pro-
duct has been shipped in frozen state,
which, in great measure, destroys the
flavor of the butter. In the present
case the shipment had a specially pre-
pared cold chamber fixed on board the
steamer, the temperature of which
could be kept at uniform height of
thirty degrees. The result is said to
have been eminently satisfactory, the
butter having been delivered in SPLEEN

HOrse Hints.

Being gentle with horse will help
him to be gentle.
Keep the colt fat and he will make an
easy-going horse.
Sores on horses shoulders are large
" the result of ill-ftting collars.
An excess of food weakens a working
animal and disables it from work.
Blood, food, care and training are
the essentials necessary for producing
a first-class horse.
To a very considerable extent the
most costly farming is that done with
poor teams.
There are few diseases to which
horses are subject but are easier pre-
vented than cured.
Good grooming does not only add to
the animals comfort, but to it's health
fulness as we'll.
Feeding a little wheat bran with the
other grain will help to make the
horses hair sleek and glossy.
The best farm horse is the one with
a kind and tractable disposition, well
broken and serviceable.
The farmers will always be poor who
continue to raise $50 horses at an ex,
pense of 500.
The feed and care necessary to raise
a poor horse costs as much in every
way as it does for one of the best.
A horse needs exercise every day to
keep his system properly regulated and
make his hair to be bright and sleek.
When the horse is brought in from
work he should be given a good drink;
if too warm to drink he is too warm to
eat

Farm Notes.

Changing pasturage maintains better
thrift.
Cultivate thoroughly whether the
weeds grow or not.
It is mistaken economy not to feed
young, growing pigs we'll.
A supply of salt should be kept where
the stock can help themselves.
Keep the teams in a good condition
by feeding and grooming regularly.
An animal must have good appetite
if you expect stamina and constitution.
The more rapidly an animal is fat
tened the less quantity of food is need
ed to maintain vitality.
A thrifty fruit tree is like an animal
it requires good feeding IL it makes a
vigorous, steady growth.
During the summer especially, saw
dust is one of the best materials that
can be used for bedding for the stock

Buffalo Moths.

Buffalo moths may be exterminated
by the use of lavender or musk or cam
phor-in fact, anything with decided
odor will drive them away, says the
Ladies' Home Journal. Put a little
gum camphor in the corners ana
around the edges of your floors. Keep
the rooms open and as light as possible
Put camphor among your clothing, use
newspapers for wrapping, and the
moths will soon leave you.

There ought to be much more extern

found it years ago the most paying
fruit we could grow. 1t was always in
good demand and at better prices than
plums. The prune is also a surer bear
er than the plum, unless we may ex-

Systematize the Work.

Systematizing the farm work more
thoroughly will give good results in
both time and amount Of work done.
Ten hours a day in the field, keeping
steadily at it, except occasional stops
of a minute or two to rest the horses,
with a little brain work will accom-
plish more in the run of the season than

Two Good Disinfectants.

There is no disinfectant better than
turpentine. 1t may be applied about
floors, beds. and other places, with a
brush. Turpentine paint is good for
painting the bedrooms in the spring,
only see that not white lead but zinc
paint is used. A cheaper but equally
good disinfectant is iron sulphate. or
copperas, dissolved in water. Sprinkle
it freely about the cellar when cleaning

for healing sores, cuts, etc.
