The FARMER BOY AWHEEL.

From Mercer county comes the dis
concerting news that the farmers are
conspiring to rid themselves of hired
men who ride the bicycle. The farm.

young man who rushes his days work
through so that he can take a 30.mile
spin in the evening and on moonlight

When it is considered that hereto
fore agriculturists everywhere have
been sorely harrassed with the prob
lem how 10 keep the boys on the farm,
it is much to be deplored that at the
first sign that this problem is solvable
they should begin 10 set their faces

If the farmer is wise he will commit

HOW To SPOIL A HORSE.

The great superiority of the horse to
all other dumb animals, according to
Mr.. H. G. Merwin, is the ineness of
his nervous system. Almost all the
fastest horses, says the same writer,
have been remarkable for their ner-
vous, "high strung" constitutions.
Others have had as good legs and as
good lungs, but have lacked the neces-
sary courage and determination, the
"do or die" spirit, which makes horse
keep on after he is tired. But this
very nervousness renders the horse the
most irritable of creatures, the most
easily worried and distressed: Upon
this point Mr.. Merwin makes some OBJ
servations that are worth reading by
all who have, or expect to have, horses
of their own.
Harsh treatment, though it stop
short of inAicting physical pain, keeps
nervous horse in state of misery.
On the other hand, it is perfectly true,
as besotted but intelligent stable
keeper once observed to me, "a kind
word for hoss is as good sometimes
as feed of oats"
A single blow may be enough to
spoil racer. Daniel Lambert, found
er of the Lambert branch of the Nor
gan family, was thought as 3-year-
old to be the fastest trotting stallion
of his day. He was very handsome,
stylish, intelligent horse, and also ex-
tremely sensitive.
His driver, Dan Mace, though one
of the best reinsmen in America, once
made the mistake, through i'll temper
or bad judgment, of giving Daniel
Lambert severe cut with the whip,
and that single blow put an end to his
usefulness as a trotter. He became
wild and ungovernable in harness, and
remained so for the rest of his life.
In dealing with a horse, more than
with most animals, one ought to exer-
else patience, care, and above all the
power of sympathy, so as to know, if
possible, the real motive Of his doing
or refusing to do this or that. To ac-
quire such knowledge, and to act upon
it when acquired, is large part of the
ethics of housekeeping.
