TATTERS WAS JEALOUS.
Deeply Offended Because His Mistress
Took AffectiOnate Leave of An
other Horse in the stable.

In boarding stable i'll New York
there is horse whose name is Tatters.
He is the pet OF Mrs. D., who owns
and drives him. She always gives him
an apple or carrot before starting on
drive and another on returning, the
latter being given after the bride has
been removed; and he has learned TO
wait patiently for the dainty until that
time.
On the same floor of the stable is Mr..
BIS horse, Phil Mrs D. used
frequently to give an apple to Phil, after
giving one to Tatters. The latter would
manifest displeasure at this in mild
way, but his demonstrations never went
beyond the shaking of his head and lay
ing back of his ears.
But one evening while Tatters, who
had just come in, was waiting for the
removal of his bride, Phil, who was
ahead OF him, was the recipient of an
apple from Mrs. DIS hand as she
stood talking TO Mr.. B.
moment later the groom had re-
moved Tatters' bride, and at once his
mistress offered him his apple He
tuA ltd lis bCdQ away anu refused TO
touch the fruit. Mrs. D followed
him into his stall and tried to coax him,
but he began mnnching his hay and
would not look at her
Then Mr.. b, and after him the
groom, tried to induce Tatters TO take
the apple, but to no purpose, he was
hurt because his mistress had given
an apple to Phil before giving one to
him. and he would not forgive the af-
front.
His owners feelings were much like
those of the horse. and she left the
stable with tears in her eyes. Before
starting out the next day she had a
friend give a carrot instead of an apple
to Tatters. in the hope that if he had
forgotten the unintended affront the
carrot might break the association with
the apple.
He took the carrot eagerly. Then he
took one from his mistress hand. and
you may be sure she has never since
then given apple or carrot to another
horse while Tatters was in sight.-N. Y.

ABOUT HARVESTING.
Doing the Work systematically and
In Good season Are Two Very
Important Items.

In securing the best results with all
crops, especially with small grains and
hay. harvesting in good season is an
important item.
1t is best, so far as can be done, to
have everything in readiness. so that
the work can be pushed along as rap
idly as possible when the various crops
have reached the proper stage of ma
turity. A little delay in getting ready
when the crop has reached the proper
stage will often materially affect the
quality of the product. There is no part
of farm work more important to do just
at the right time than the harvesting.
One advantage Of growing a variety
of products is that the harvest is ex-
tended over a longer season, affording
in this way a better opportunity for
harvesting each in its proper season.
And where a considerable acreage is
devoted to one crop, even grass, it is
often best to have two or three vari-
cites in order TO iengthen the harvest
season.
Orchard grass is usually the first crop
to mature for harvesting. Then come
red clover. wheat. timothy. mammoth
clover, oats, and, lastly, red top. Many
farmers, however, grow only red clo-
yer, wheat, oats and timothy, and this,
of course. shortens up the harvest sea-
son. With all grasses and clover cut
for hay. the best season for commenc-
ing to harvest is as soon as the plants
have reached full growth, and the
nearer the work can be done to this
season the better the quality of the
bay.
AS the seed forms, more or less of the
hay is converted into woody fiber, and
this means loss of nutriment, and makes
a hay that is not so we'll relished by the
stock as if cut in good season. 1t is an
item in making hay of the best quality
not to cure it too much. Two hours
exposure to a very hot sun or three or
four hours when not so hot is sufficient;
with clover the better part of the cur
ing should be done in the cock.
With good haying weather, two or
three hours exposure is all that is
necessary to cure with grasses. Curing
too much not only causes a loss of nu-
triment, but makes the plants so brittle
that in handling there is an increased
waste.
Wheat should be cut as soon as the
grains begin TO harden. If cut too
early, before the grain has reached full
development, it will often shriyel up
in curing. If allowed to become too
ripe, there will be loss in handling, while
the quality Of the grain will be low
cred. When oats are to be fed in the
straw, without tbreshing, earlier cut
ting is advisable than when they are
to be threshed. Cut when the grain is
fully formed and the stems begin to
turn yellow; the straw contains more
nutriment than if allowed to ripen more
fully.-St. Louis Republic.

During her long sickness her most in
innate friends had been three canary
birds, which occupied a cage just over
her bed where she could see them.
There they sang to her their best
songs, and there she watched them with
the kindliest devotion. As she became
weaker and weaker the birds seemed
to notice that something momentous
was at hand. As she neared death She
became very nervous, and the little
songs of her canaries, instead OF pleas
ing her, annoyed her. At last one day
she became very nervous, and when the
birds began to sing she interrupted
them by eXclaiming, nervously: 'sOh,
hush, Dick" The birds seemed to un-
derstand either the look, tons or words
of their mistress and Immediately
stopped. The little girl died the next
day.
Either the harsh command or the loss
of their mistress affected them so Sc
riously that Dick died three days later;
a week later another died, and a few
days later the last one dropped from
his perch and was dead the next morn
ing when found. They had hardly
touched food since the command to stop
singing. They were laid to rest in little
graves made on top of the mound.
There always seemed to be the very
closest bond between the birds and the
invalid, and'all think that the birds un-
derstood her command and that it
caused their death.-Elerty (lnd.) Cor.
