BY the horse portrayed below, a stock
can be dressed into almost any shape
by means Of a sharp drawing knife.
The head should move slowly in the
mortises and the pin in the inch hole
through the upper plank and lower
part of head should not be too tight,

shaving light or heavy timbers easily.
The bottom plank, a, is feet long, S
inches wide and 2 inches thick. Upper

Care of I'm pIements.


one Of the causes Of hard times Is the
lack OF care in housing and caring for
implements. Too frequently we see
costly implements left unhoused from
one season to the next; the plow per-
haps standing in the furrow where the
hired man unhitched from it last fall,
or possibly turned upside down as an
extra precaution; the binder standing
in the corner of the field or the back
yard, where in company with the Gull
tivators, 1t furnishes convenient roost
for the chickens at night and a play
thing for the children in the daytime.
Under such circumstances lots Of good
big dollars are simply thrown away.
The life of the implements is cut down
much less than half; and yet the shift
less farmer wonders why he doesn't get
ahead! OF course many other things
conspire to make his lot hard one just
now-albeit he is really better off than
most of his brethren in town-but lit
tie care in this regard would save hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars every
year to the farmers Of this country

LEARNED BUT CAN'T READ.
A Brockton Woman Educated by Lis.

A Brockton Woman Educated by Lis.
tening.
The wonderful development of GER
tain faculties in the cases Of persons
who have lost the use Of some Of their
natural functions, or Of others whose
faculties have not been fully developed,
has long been matter of remark, but
it is not alone the outside observers who
appreciate the provisions Of nature for
the benefit of the unfortunates. The
sufferers themselves often appreciate
this fully, says the New York Sun, and
in some instances, after years, grow to
depend SO much upon their acquired
faculties as to be afraid Of change,
even if they have the chance of one.
An illustration Of this is given by
woman in Brooklyn who never has
learned to read or write. In no way
could one discover this except by her
own admission, OF by putting her to
direct test, for she is one Of the best
educated women in the country, con-
versant with languages, art, literature
and all the current topics Of the day.
She is rich, too, and could afford all the
services of the best teachers if she but
chose to learn to read but she refuses
to do so.
When this woman was a child her
parents lived far from schools, SO she
had no chance then to read or write.
AS a mere child she began to earn her
own living, and again the chance for
schooling slipped away. Then she mar
ried and the care Of a family took up
her time. By time the babies were off
her hands her husband had grown rich,
and then she began her real education,
and now, as a widow, she continues it.
Her companions read to her about all
the topics which interest her. Years
of such work have stored her mind
with rich treasure of knowledge, and
there is not page Of a book that has
been read to her that she Is not familiar
with; her stores of knowledge are at
her instant command. Why will she
not learn to read? Because, she says,
she fears that this wonderful memory,
which Is now such treasure house to
her, might be impaired If she were to
do anything to weaken the demands
upon 1t.
What such memory can do is we'll
illustrated in the case of tailor Of this
city who cannot read or write. He is
probably the most widely known man
In his business here, as for many years
he has done business with New Yorks
firemen and policemen. Almost every
man OF these two bodies has dealings
with this tailor, and each month be-
tween the first and the tenth days he
visits every station house and engine
and truck house in this city to collect
his dues He has acquired consider
able wealth, and it is said of him that
In all the years he has dealt with the
firemen and policemen he never was
known to make mistake of a cent in
any mans account, although all his
records of transactions have been kept
IN his head.

Wide Tires.

Wide Tires.
It has been truly said that no other
single element, except ignorant road
making, adds so much to the heavy
burden of supporting the highways as
the use of narrow tires, which cut up
the roads instead Of ironing them
smoothly down. The horses hoofs, of
course, chop up the road somewhat,
but it is mere surface irritation COM
pared with the deep and fatal wounds
made by the narrow-tired wheels when
once a nut is started.
Build a reasonably good road and
equip the vehicles with wide tires,
with the tread of the rear wheels diff
ferent from that of the front wheels,
so as not to follow in the same path,
and the surface will not be rutted at
all. The wheels serve as rollers, and,
instead of cutting UP the roads, they
make them better. We tax ourselves
poor to keep our highways in order,
and then carefully select wagons which
will undo the work as quickly as pos
sible.
How to Tell Horses Age.
1.-THE popular idea that the age of
horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth" said a veterinary surgeon,
lis not entirely correct. After the
eighth year the horse has no more new
teeth, SO that the tooth method is use
less for telling the age of horse which
is more than 8 years old. AS soon as
the set of teeth is complete, however,
wrinkle begins to appear on the upper
edge of the lower eyelid, and new
wrinkle is added each year. SO that to
get at the age Of q horse more than 8
years old you must figure the teeth plus
the wrinkles"
