Avoid Raising Plug Horses.

Never in the history OF horse raising
was there wider difference between
plugs and good horses. Farmers must
give as much thought to the selection
of both dam and sire as they do in the
breeding of cattle and other live. stock.
A coach horse that will bring $500 is as
easily raised as plug that will bring
but $45. Such horse is useful on the
farm until the time when he is ready
for the market. ard can be used both to
the pillow and on the wagon. In case
he lacks the style or action necessary
to bring fancy price, he is still gen
cral purpose horse and viii bring a
price that win be profitable to the
raiser.-A. b. Clark, st. Louis Dealer.

DIVIDING THE BURDEN.
Bear Their Share of the Cost of
Improving Roads.

In the states in which system of
state-aid has been inaugurated the ur.
ban resident bears his share of the eX-
pense of improving and maintaining the
highways, instead of leaving them, as
heretofore, to be cared for by the rural
population. Under the old theory that
the maintenance and care of the roads
should depend wholly on the districts
through which they passed, great in
justice was done many persons whose
interest in the roads was less than that
of Others who bore no expense. To re-
move this injustice and provide an equa'
BILE system is the purpose of the state
aid.
Speaking on this subject recently
Gen. Stone said that the farmers o.

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu.
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbline
sound or imperfect hearing and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con,
dtion, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases of of ten are caused by catarrh
which is nothing but an nhamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
THE MAIL BOX MYSTERY.
How Ii Was That the Letters and
Pnpcrn We're AIwnyH Thrown out.

How II Was That the Letters and
Papers Were Always Thrown Out.
One day Farmer Bowen took down
his saw and hammer and said to Mother
Bowen:
We've got to have a letter box out at
the gate so that when Jimmy Mitchell
comes along with the mail he'll have a
place to put it. y
So Farmer Bowen found an old starch
box and nailed it firmly to post which
stood not far from the front gate and
only step from the main road to Hillo-
dale. In one side Of the box he cut a
hole large enough to receive a good, big
bundle of papers and letters, for it was
new country, and some time Jimmy,
the postman, came only once or twice
week and there might be a good deal Of
mail at one time.
Nov the letters won't get wet if it
happens to rain before we bring 'em
in, p" he said to Mother Bowen.
But that very night after Jimmy
went by Dick Bowen ran down for the
mail and found the letters lying on the
ground just as if some one had thrown
them out of the box.
The next day Mother Bowen put a
letter in the box for Jimmy to take up
when he came back that way, but in
the afternoon Dick found it lying in the
grass some distance from the box
After that the letters were thrown
out of the box regularly. Jimmy said
he couldn't explain it, and Dick was
sure that he couldn't

can find out. D."
The next time letter was placed in
the box Dick was hidden away behind
the big evergreen. He watched and
watched, but no one came along Then
suddenly he saw the letter fiutter to the
ground, as if thrown by unseen hands.
| Up he started and ran toward the box
Two little brown wrens went fiuttering
away, oheeping in a frightened voice.
Dick put the letter back and hid sec
ond time. In few minutes the wrens
came back and threw the letter out
again.
Eve found 'eml I've found EN- p
shouted Dick.
And Farmer Bowen, Mother Bowen
and all of the others ran down from the
house to see what the matter was.
Poor Mrs. Wreno said Mother
Bowen, who had tender heart "She
thought we put up the house for her,
and she didn't want letters in it" Aft
er that stone was placed on the letters
to hold them down, and the two wrens
couldn't tumble them out any more. -
