FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
THE SMALLEST RAILWAY.

II Is a Delight to the Youngsters,
East and West. Who Have Seen 1t.
The most attractive feature at Coney
Island this summer to the children was
the novel miniature railroad. They
swarmed about it, Their old time joys,
the merry go rounds, roller coasters and
shooting shoots, were neglected for this
new amusement, which has interested
their elders as we'll. Its success has been
repeated at the Transmississippi expo
sition at Omaha, where it has been
quite deliberately reproduced, and the
western youngsters are reported to he
reveling in its delights with as much
zest as their eastern cousins.
At Coney Island the railroad is laid
out under the old iron pier, and the
tracks are 500 feet long. The train
traverses this distance at speed of 20
miles an hour, and it is said that it has
already covered many times over dis
lance equal to a journey to the Klon-
dixie goldfields.
The engine, which is as complete in
every detail as those drawing trains
bearing hundreds of passengers, is only
90 inches in height, about 1S inches
wide and measures A Il feet from end
to end. 1t is substantial affair, in
spite of it's diminutive appearance, for
it weighs $50 pounds, draws train of

Drying Wheat For Fall Seeding.

After every damp harvest, as the
present has been in most localities, the
grain goes into the barn with it's straw
not so thoroughly dried out as it should
be. There is also considerable dampness
in the grain itself, and this will prob
ably cause heating of the grain in the
NOW. With spring grain this does not
matter much, for the grain will be
pretty sure to dry out when freezing
cold weather comes. But whenever
winter grain is grown, the seed for next
harvest has to be selected from the pres
emit years crop, and this often means
the premature thrashing of the winter
grain and using it while still damp as
seed. To this fact is probably to be at
tributed the common belief among farm
ers that old wheat and rye are better
for seed than new. In the old grain the
freezing of winter and the subsequent
thawing has made the seed nearly
wholly free Of moisture.
Entertaining this view Of the matter,
The American Cultivator expresses the
belief that it is far better to thoroughly
dry the seed even by artificial means
ave have over and over again dried
seed grain i'll fruit evaporators such as
are used for drying apples, and always
with the best results in large proper
tion grown of the seed that was sown.
We believe that it is best to dry all
grain used as seed by the heat of fire.

HoR e AND RIDER.

Hsw to SIT In the Saddle and Handle
the Reins.
One does not necessarily need be
lover of a. horse to be a good rider, says
Frank Tallmadge in The Breeders Ga
zette, but it is help in great measure
in learning and it is quite necessary for
the full enjoyment of it. A riding mas
ter was once asked by young lady
how long it would tale her to learn to
ride. The master replied, How long
have you been taking lessons on the pi-
ano?' 1.-TWO years." said the miss
"but / am not proficient enough to play
in public as yet" "Then, said the
master, don't expect nearly SO soon
to learn to ride horseback, for piano
never changes it's gait never shes, re-
mains all the time passive, subject to
your will. You must not expect to learn
nearly so soon how to ride and handle
an animal that is sensitive, subject to
change of temper and wise enough to
know the moral strength of its rider"
The proper position or seat in the
saddle can best be taught lady by one
of her own sex. 1t is much easier to at
tain the proper seat by receiving the
necessary instruction before and at the
time of taking the first ride. This is
apparent to all, for a wrong posture
once assumed in the saddle is very bard
to overcome. As to the proper manage
ment of the horse line after line could
be written, and one can receive an end
less Number of lessons solely upon this
subject and yet not be able to put into
practice the first principle of his read
ings and teachings without long expert
ence. This arises from the fact that
horses, like people, are of different dis
positions and have what horsemen call
different mouths.
1t is agreed by all teachers of equita-
ton that the curb bit alone in horses
mouth will sooner make fool out of
horse than anything else, and fool
horse generally carries fool rider.
The proper biting is the old English
style of two bits-a curb and IA snaffie
and two sets of reins. All riders in
America have been long since converted
to this, except the cowboys There are
several ways to hold the double reins,
any one of which is easier than holding
the single set, this probably for the
reason that it employs both hands and
keeps them in their proper place to-
gether The horse is not constantly
fighting the curb and consequently
forming bad habits. He receives the
soft pressure of the snaffle, which gives
him courage and confidence in his rider,
and only by the use of the snaffie can
the horse's head be kept in its proper
high position. The curb always brings
the chin into the chest, an unnatural
and dangerous position, as it is quite
likely to shut off a horse's wind.

Effects of Horseshoeing.

The effects of Iseshoeing upon the
legs of horses, says the London Live
Stock Journal, is subject which OBJ
tains too little attention. In Americ' it
apparently obtains too much, for there
the trainers and farriers seem to imagine
that they can correct every Imaginable
fault Of action or conformation by fam
ciful kinds of shoes. 1t is questionable
If very much harm or good can be done
to the limbs Of adult horses. The joints
and ligaments of the adult are SO firmly
set that the effect of uneven bearings of
shoes or uneven foot surfaces are spent
upon the coronet and pastern joints.
With young horses, and more especially
foals, whose tissues are soft and plastic,
upon the limb. Straight pasterns may
be made worse by allowing the heels of
the hoof to remain too high, while ex-
cess of slope in these bones may be ex-
aggerated by permitting the toe to grow
too long. Unequal height of the sides of
the hoof affects the leg, and twisting of
the fetlock joints follows. 1t is said
that by using shoes made higher on one
side of the foot than on the other this
twisting action may alter the conforma-
ton of the limb as high up as the knee
and hook. If this be so. farrier artist
might SO modify the legs of foals AS to
prevent calf knees, bowlegs and cow
hooks. The reactions of disproportion
ate feet do not require shoes to produce
them. The irregular growth Of the hoof
when unshod is capable of injuring the
formation of the leg, and even if a
breeder is not skilled enough to arti-
flcially correct the faults of limb in his
stock he may always take care no harm
is done. He may occasionally look to
the feet and see that they are kent fairly
proper tionate.

BROOD SOWS.
euggestions In Regard to Their
Proper Care.

suggestions In Regard to Their
Proper Care.
The proper care of brood sows. writes
A. N Springer in Land and a Living,
is very essential to IA successful swine
breeder. Without it, it is impossible to
have pigs mature enough to dispose of
at the age of 6 or months. With it,
as has been demonstrated time and
again, It's readily done. The care Of
the SOW must begin at the beginning,
and it stands to reason that gilt from
a sow that has had proper care and feed
will be better individual than one
from dam that has not had the best of
care. Though their treatment is the
same from pigs up, there will be diff
ference more or less plainly to be seen
in favor of the former.
Sows should never at any time be al
lowed to get poor, but should always be
kept in good flesh. Neither should they
tie fat-that is, in marketable condition.
A SOW fed to this degree of fairness can
not be a first class mother; her super
abundance of fat will render her clumsy
if nothing more. Her food, then, should
be mostly such as tends to promote the
growth of bone and muscle. The above
mentioned kind of food should FREEDOM
mate at all times unless it rs for short
period after weaving the pigs. If, as it
sometimes happens with the best of
care and intentions, SOW gets below
the normal in flesh, then it would be
necessary to increase the flesh or fat
forming foods until she has regained her
proper amount of fat.
Care must be exercised at all times
when change in food is made, as there
in lies very great danger. A too sud-
den change and an excess of feed will
very often play sad havoc with ones
plans. Make haste slowly in changing
feed. Sows due to farrow in the fall
should be fed very sparingly of green
corn. Some oats and milk and grass
should be their principal feed. Where
they are not due to farrow until we'll
along in October the corn can be fed
with less danger, always providing one
exercises the proper amount of eau.
tion in beginning as to amount fed. A
good, dry, warm shelter is necessary for
this time Of year for the welfare both of
SOW and prospective filters.
