A Word to Farmers.

c. ". Norris, in Agricultural Epitomist.
 A good, thrifty farmer is most al- ways known by the looks of his farm. There are large number of farmers in this country who always keep their fences up, and keep all the bushes on the farm trimmed up who will pick up all the stones and haul them away. keep their fence corners free from their crops as needed all through the season, and take good care of their stock as well. These are the farmers who always prosper, who generally have good crops and take into market all kinds of produce, which is always in good shape and fl nds ready sale. We suggest to those owning land who are always com blaming of s'hard times" to try the improvement plan as above, and instead Of sitting around the grocery stor es etc, tc make every foot of the farm available to produce some kind of crop. that we should hear less complaint of peo pie lacking food and then be temper. ate in all things. for if money paic each year for tobacco, snuff, opium and all kinds of intoxicating drinks were divided among the farmers there would be no occasion for hard times but instead prosperity would flourish as the rose. Try it for two years ane see If am right.

REMARKABLE WOr1EON.

A writer in the Kansas City Star, speaking of the people of an antlquated Spanish sea port, says
 The facility of these women in pre-. serving the balance of their burdens under all conditions IS so extraordi- nary that am beginning to doubt the fable of the dairy maid I saw girl few moments ago who was driving before her donkey with loaded pam neries and carrying on her head bas- ket of vegetables. The donkey took advantage of the girls pausing to look at young Weyler to turn off into a side street, making it necessary for her to briskly detonr and yank the beast back into his proper place, which she accomplished without disturbing the equipoise of her basket in the least. The water women invaria bly, carry three vessels at once, one on thelr head and one in each hand, and they load and unload themselves without assistance, task which, fancy. a novice might find difficult If my rep utation for varacity were not estab- lished I should not venture to record the fact that I saw two peasant girls walking briskly down the Calle Real this morning each with large sized melon poised on her head, the balanc- ing of which seemed to be a matter of no concern to either. was discuss ing the marvellous facility of these women later in the day with the pres ident of the Association de Jovenes Christianos of Cornnna, and he in- formed me that he once saw 8 Spanish woman, who was carrying a dozen new-laid eggs loose on top of her head, struck by runaway team of oxen and turned double summersault, landing on her feet with the eggs entact in their original position.

A False Alarm.

Gris Green caused some of our citi- zens including the mayor, an all night run through the snow in the forest west ot town last night He rushed into town about 9:30 o'clock and said he and his companion had been way laid and he believed his companion was killed. The facts seemed to show that Green and his companion went to a Mr. Sunderman's house and called him to come out Mir Sunderman thinking they meant trouble, opened the door and began shooting at them. Green ran to town and his companion whose name could notbe learned, it is supposed, went to his home.

Comfort For Horses.
From the Wisconsin Agriculturist.

From the Wisconsin Agriculturist.
 Don't put the food box for h orses too high from the ground. The natural way for horse to eat is with the level of his feet. and the way that some feed boxes are put up, with the idea of accommodating the horse. often is more of an injury than help. Three feet is the highest that feed box should ever be and it is better to have it no hihger than two feet. There IS a kind of hay feeder, too, that should be condemned on any farm for horses. 1t is the one in which the hay is put against slats above the horses head. forcing it to reach up for it's feed. No more cruel practice could be adopted.

There are two classes of men who can afford to prospect for mineral. One is the man who has nothing and no one dependent upon him, but who can secure a grub stake" to work on and with, then if he does not win he looses nothing but his time and labor. The other is the man who has an abundance and will not miss what he looses. Business men who take such chances and follow them up, nine times out of ten, go into bankruptcy.

Mena Without a Night Watch.

Capt. Miller who has been perform. ing the duty of night watchman for the business men of the town has been forced to give up his duty. So many of the merchants withdrew their support that he could not afford to carry on his unpleasant duty of pa- trolling the streets all night long. Mir, Miller performed his duty very con scientiously and it is to be regretted that he could not receive sufficient support from the merchants.
