Getting chickens out early gives
spring chickens early in the season and
there is no meat food that is more

price for, while the farmer gets II AZ the

HOW TO TIE A STRAP.

same mistake was made. The tie was
too loosely made to be safe, and II the
horse had any notion Of nibbling at the
strap he could easily unite himself.
TIE illustration shows both the right
and the wrong way of tying either
leather straps or ropes. Fig. is some
thing like the tie referred To; it is not
reliable, although It may answer for a
temporary hitch. Blu, IL | wanted to be
positively sure that my horses could not
get loose l would not stop short Of the
tie, Fig. 2. This is the same as Fig. j, ex-
cept that every part of it is drawn up
tight. To make it, tie the common bow
knot, Fig. 3, drawing the knot GAY fur
~ tight; pass the end (b) Of the strap
through the bow or loop (c), and draw
the loop by pulling at strap (d) until it
hugs the end OBJ. When doing this, the
knot CAD is liable to loosen, which must
be prevented by holding il with thumb
and forefnger Of one hand while the
other does the pulling. Then draw the
end (b) through the drawu-up loop (cG

have a tie that no animal is able to undo.

I'm lMuOs
As was driving under the SHE'D OF one
Of our stores recently found there
team already hitched to the manger.
One of the horses had slipped It's bride
from its head and was trampling 10 In
the dirt. After securing my own team.
also adjusted the dangling bride to it's
proper place. Entering the store met
the owner of the team, and in course OF
our conversation / mentioned to him
the condition of his horse as l found IL.
WELL" he said, mo matter where
and when you tie that horse, he will
either slip his bride or unite the
straps"
From a few points OF arguments that
were exchanged between us | found
that my friend either did not know the
proper way of bridling horse or tying
n strap TO the manger.
The throat-latch of his bride hung
far down, so loose that had no trouble
in slipping the bride onto the horses
head without unbuckling the same. A
reverse action, caused by the horse
rubbing his head against a post or
manger would OF course allow the bride
TO slip off again. 1t Is the object OF the
throat-latch of halters and brides to
keep them securely In place, and II our
friend had buckled it just loose enough
so il would not choke the horse, the
bride would never have come off. In

TALK ABOUT DUCKS.
Right Breed 60 Cross with PelSins
Not Yet Discovered.

NOT Yet DihcoNtEtus
In raising 10000 to $4,000 ducks it is
important that one should have the
most suitable stock, writes S. a. Cush-
man TO the Plowman. A cut of ona
or two cents per pound from the high
est market rates will make a great diff
ference in the receipts. The quality
must be the best. The quicker they
grow the shorter the time they must
be kept. The earlier they are put on
the market the higher the price. There
is more profit i'm one early bird sold at
s. cents per pound than several late
ones at 13 TO 10 cents. Pure white feath-
ers bring the most. james Rankin has
tried all breeds Of ducks and finds all
have their outs. Aylesbury ducks have
white feathers, but they and their
crosses are longer i'm maturing and
harder to pick. Peldns he found ma
turcd earlier by ten days or "A fort
night. Rouens are not only longer in
maturing, but are tender and delicate.
Cayugas are fine. plump birds and lay
as WELL eggs hatch as well and duck
lings mature as early as the Pekins,
Dut thcy are hlhdlitT, nuNc hlach pluhl-
age and the dark pinfeathers hurt
their appearance. Crosses between the
two were fine and plump, took on fat
as readily and matured as early as the
PelGins, but they came notified in
plumage. had dark skin in patches and
dark pinfeathers, so brought less.
Their features also sell for much less.
A cross between Cayugas and Rouens
gave all the good qualities OF the for
mer and are larger than the latter and
make a better table bird, but do not
equal Pellins. Evidently the right
breed TO cross with Pekins does not
exist or has not been found-that Is,
with the present requirements of the

A CASE OF HEART FAILURE.

She was much frightened but noticed that
in intervals in which her stomach did not
annoy her, her heart's action became normal
Reasoning correctly that her digestion was
alone at fault she procured the proper med
icine TO treat that trouble and with imme.

the choking spells became less frequent and
finally ceased. Her weight, which had been
greatly reduced was restored and she now
weighs more than for years. Her blood soon
became pure and her cheeks rosy.
The case is Of general interest because the
disease is very common one. That others

80 opportunity OF testing the value OF
The new machinery in actual warfare.
During the last quarter OF a century
There has been no naval battle worthy
OF being mentioned in the same breath

LISA in the Adriatic was a small fight
at the opening of the new era Of naval

A few ironclads have been in action

but the mental inferiority of the Chi

sible for experts to judge what their
sliips would have done If they had been
properly manned and well handled,
Meanwhile, the art of naval warfare
has been reyolutionized, andievery mari
time nation has been expanding inn
mense sums upon battle ships and other
fighting vessels without knowing
whether armor will adequately protect
them or whether torpedo boats do not
hold the proudest fleets at their mercy.
Two years ago there was a wonderful
naval review at Kiel when the Baltic
canal was opened, and this year there
has been another off Portsmouth at
which the most powerful English fleet
ever assembled i'm any waters has been
seen on holiday parade. These fleets
were immense combinations OF machine

will be transformed as soon as thereis

fleets.

wooden Ships. There was then naval
instinct against treacherous methods
of fighting. This has passed away.
Every navy now has all the modern re-
sources for setting on fire or sinking
by secret assault an enemy's ship.
In naval reviews the battle ships are
floating batteries which seem 10 defy
assault; but torpedo boats have never
beer used against them. With 4 single

what was the real, effective value Of the
