WHIPPING BALKY HORsEs.-N,

WHIPPING BALKY HORsEs.-Not'
withstanding the fact that the press
continually admonishes whom it may
concern that it does no good to whip
or pound a balky horse, almost every
owner or driver of one does it today.
1t is probably the greatest piece OF
horse folly in existence, declares The
National Stockman. 1t is not rem
nant of barbarism, but it is continued
barbarity, and brings out what origi-
nal sin there is in a man.
The brain of horse can retain but
one idea at a time. If the idea is to
sulk, whipping only intensi6es it. A
change of that idea, then, is the only
successful method of management.
This may be accomplished in scores OF
ways, few of which are here named
Tie handkerchief about his eyes ;
tie his tail to the bellyband or the
back band; fasten stick in his mouth ;
tie a cord tightly about his leg; clasp
his nostrils and shut his wind off until
he wants to 60 unhitch him from the
vehicle, and then hitch him up again,
or almost anyway to get his mind on
something else.
Whipping or scolding always does
harm. The treatment should always
be gentle. There are more balky dri-
vers than horses.

SALT For FRUIT TREEs.-In you

SALT For FRUIT TREEs.-In your
Fruit Grower, a correspondent asks in
regard to salt for pears and other kinds

who always had beautiful pears, while
his neighbors could not raise any on
being questioned in regard to the mat

one of the best fertilizers known.
have used it many years on all kinds
of trees and on my garden. Put it on
so thick that it looks like fall oi
snow. 1 have just salted my trees
and currants. Twenty years ago l
planted pear trees, and one Bartlett
would blossom full perfect mass oi
white, but no fruit for four years, and
then 1 applied the salt, four quarts
spaded in, and since then it has been
an enormous bearer. The best fertili'
zer for peach trees is urine. The best
place for a peach tree is planted by
a sink drain or pear tree. l have the

my drain, 25 feet high, that can't be
beaten for fruit. Use salt literally
and YOU kill thousands of insects and
the white grubs which are so destruct'
i've to the strawberry plant. Many
farmers here use tons of salt on their
fields with great results. 1t is cheap,
easily applied and no danger in the
use. 1t is a great retainer of mois-
ture. I apply it bountifully among
my Cuthbert raspberries, it keeps the
ground moist and does not produce

A LOYAL CLANSMAN.

The MacLean was being examined
by his pastor prior to his being admit
ted to the kirk. 1t should be noticed
here that the MacLean held one Arti-
Gle of Belief, not insisted upon dog
matically by any theologian, the Mac
Lean excepted, and this was that his
clan was the most ancient in Scotland,
and, consequently, in the world. By
and by they plunged into the Deluge.
"sIn the selfsame day entered Noah,
and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth,
the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife,
and the three wives of his sons with
them, into the ark" quoted the
minister.
'And all flesh died."
"Na," interrupted the MacLean,
positively, "there was ane ither ma
droond."
"The record is explicit, Mr.. Mac
Lean" argued the minister, stlfiy.
"No one was saved but those VINO
went into the ark"
"There was ane ither," asserted the
MacLean, imperturbably. -
"What do you mean, MacLean ="
demanded the minister, explosively.
"Wbom do you mean?" :.
81 dinna RIGHTLY ken his given name"
explained the MacLean, cautiously,
"but yon mon was MacLean."
"Tut, tut, man." expostulated the
minister. 9.You very we'll know tf at
no MacLean went into the ark; 80,
granting that MacLean existed, how
could he have been saved ?"
"Hoot, mon, Minister" retorted the
MacLean, disdainfully, "but ye iver
ken a MacLean who didna own his
ane boat 2"-Truth.

HOGOGRAPHS.

A straw stack is a very unfavorable
place for sick hog.
To prevent hog cholera the essen
tials are good food, pure water, and
clean, dry quarters.
1t will pay to cook the small pota-
toes before feeding them to the hogs !;
the hogs will thrive better, and the
potatoes 60 farther.
The sows will have more pigs and
do better if kept thin. About two
weeks before farrow, give plenty of
milk-producing food, and feed them
we'll while sucking.
Mother sows require more than twice
as much food as other hogs when the
pigs are three weeks old, and if they
do not have it, both the sows and pigs
will suffer. While there must be cau-
tion at first, the rule is to feed the
brood sows literally.
Cleanliness in feeding will increase
the use of our pork and pork products
in both our home and foreign markets,
where quality counts against mere
quantity of fat and mud favored meat
Neither does it take an epicure to de-
tect the difference.
There is more than one reason why
we should strive to procure large per-
centage of lean in our pork :; perhaps
the most important is that we may in
crease the consumption of our pork,
while one almost as.important is that
it enables us to increase the vigor and
stamina of our herds.
Hogs should possibly not have ac-
cess to ponds or wallows, for these af-
ford most favorable conditions for the
development of disease germs. The
drinking water should be from deep
wells. The same rule as with human
beings; and the food should be clean
and fed in clean vessels or upon clean
floors.
There is positive must in feeding
the hogs something more bulky and
less concentrated than corn, if the
feeder expects to keep them in a healthy
condition for any great length of time.
There is nothing better or cheaper
than pumpkins to feed with corn, and
when thus fed, they will fatten faster
than when upon corn only.
That swine should be allowed to
slack their thirst from pools of stag
nant water, is so opposed to common
sense that it is a wonder it did not
long ago become an abhorrent custom.
Though not fully appreciated, half the
cases of hog cholera would be avoided
were our herds supplied with pure
water from the pump or the brook.
Prof. Henry of the Wisconsin Ex-
pertinent station, finds that cabbages
have a good deal of value-more than
potatoes or turnips-as a swine feed,
especially in the early part of the
fattening period. The cabbage is
largely used in England for feeding
both. hogs and sheep. 1t is found to
be an excellent addition to grain
ration, as it aids digestion and pre-
vents "cloying" when grain is being
fed heavily.

GOT ACQUAINTED BY DEGREES
Bishop Curtis (Roman Catholic,) for
merly of Wilmington, DEL, says that
he once went on a yachting cruise,
wearing a rough yachting costume.
An Irishman, observing him changing
his clothes as the boat drew near shore,
and discovering that he wore scapu-
lars, said, in a rather gratified tone,
"Oh, see that you are a Catholic" "
The bishop nodded and said, indiffer-
emily, "Oh, yes; 1 am Catholic" "
The man continued to watch him, and
he gravely put on his Roman collar.
"Oh !' said the Irishman, 81 see you
are a priest" The bishop, who had
difficulty in maintaining his gravity,
answered, eyes, / am a priest" The
man fixed his eyes upon him with
more interest than ever, and Bishop
Curtis then proceeded to put on his
purple scarf. The Irishman started
with astonishment, and exclaimed,
"Why, see you are bishop!" The
bishop, said, quietly, ayes, l am Bish-
op Curtis )" and the man fell on his
knee and asked the bishops blessing

HE REMEDIED IT.-They are telling
a story about town of certain elderly
man from the south who is newly
come to town and a young woman
who lives at an H street hotel. She
is famous for her beautiful shoulders,
and commonly wears her evening
gowns cut in the off.shoulder fashion,
with the merest pretense of a sleeve.
She went out to dinner week or so
ago, escorted by the elderly gentle
man, who is an old friend of the
family. He called for her, and await
ed her in the parlor of the family
hotel where she lives. She was in
full war paint.
"How do I look ?" she asked, arch
", as she came into the parlor.
The elderly gentleman looked vague
ly troubled.
"Lovely, my dear lovely" he said,
"but there, allow an old man to RENE
DIV your maids carelessness. Your
gown has slipped off your shoulders. "
Whereupon he yanked the pretense
of sleeve up over the young woman's
shoulder. The joke of it is that be
hadn't an idea that he wasn't doing
her a real service.-Washington Post.

THREE BIG PREMIUMS.

This year we offer three big premiums. One
is a SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR BUGGY.
Another is O SEVENTY-FlVED DOLLAR Or
GAN, and the third is q FIFTY DOLLAR
WAGON. The Buggy will go to the clubmaker
who gets up the largest list Of subscribers, new
and old. The Wagon will go to the clubmaker
who gets~up the second largest list, new and
whose total list shall show up the largest
number Of NEW NAMES. The organ contest,
however, will be separate and distinct from
the other contest, in that the winner OF this
premium will still have the right to count bis
entire club including both old and new
names, in the contest for the Buggy or Wagon.
To be more explicit. It is possible that the
clubmaker who gets the Organ, may also be
the winner of either the Wagon or the Buggy.
III Is also possible that the Organ may be won
with less than 20 names, together with one
of the smaller premiums.

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
b MARCH, 1t is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one OF the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers in
the state, It is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be
one OF the most popular. Ninety per cent. Of
the families In the county desire II as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford It,, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One OF the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, is the inconyen;
ience Of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter OF subscribing at the
proper time. It is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfally desirable for us, just at this time, to
secure the services Of q large number Of intel
Iigent and energetic assistants, and to make 1t
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This is to the individual
but sends It direct to this office. In clubs,
however, the price is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubmaker,
and the price which, under all circumstance,
he is expected to pay us. Now to our propo-
SitiOns.
