farmer only had few tools and suit
able place in which to work, could
often be saved. Indeed, workshop on
the farm is a Iecessity-an essential
part of the farm machinery-and in
case a convenient spot is at hand the
general farmer can do nothing better
than erect building similar to the
one shown in the accompanying illus
tration.
As can be seen, it is located against
bank. This affords a basement which
for housing poultry and swine in win
ter is not easily, as far as warmth goes
TO be surpassed. The second floor is
for storing various agricultural tools
and implements, from the hand to the
wheel rake, and from the ordinary
sickle to the moving machine and
reaper, while one corner-preferably
on the sunny side-is partitioned of
into workshop. Being equipped with
a work bench and heating apparatus
the farmer herein can pass many q
stormy day, no matter what the sea
son of the year is, constructing berry
and vegetable crates, mending harness
or doing whatever tinkering work is
required on the farm or in the house

The Horse md His Teeth.

When horse does not appear to
thrive as he should on his food, and
the most careful observation fails to
account for his condition, ii is wise to
have his teeth carefully examined, es-
pecially the back jaw teeth or molars.
An irregularity of these is often the
unsupported source OF the evil. The
molars occasionally wear irregularly;
sometimes the upper border overlap
ping the external surface of the lower,
while the internal surface Of the lower
rises to corresponding height within
the mouth. In such cases sharp points
are found where the wear has been
slightest, and these roughnessesl LAGER

is that the food is not properly pre-
pared for the stomach, and passes
through it without assimilating to a
full extent its nutritive principles

1t is not known how old this little

makes to her granddaughter, Is. 1t

There is no stint to the feasting or
the frolic at a Breton wedding, and
there is absolutely no limit to the

lavish within their means, though less
extravagant, and as little exclusive in
their marriage Inequalities as the
Sikhs are. Between 300 and 400 peas

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

Old comb usually thickens with use.
Empty frames of comb should be well
taken care of when not in use.
Colonies that are short Of stores for
winter should be fed during Septem-
Der.
Most colonies, If rightly managed,
will build down to the bottom of Sec
tions.
II necessary to melt honey, melt it
slowly. IL melted rapidly it will be
spoiled.
The best way of keeping empty
combs is to store them in boxes that are
mice proof.
BY keeping bees in good, thrifty
condition at this time robbing may be
prevented.
Beeswax is a valuable product. Every
particle of comb should be rendered
into wax.
Buckwheat may be sown as late as
the first week in August, and will fur
nish considerable honey.
The objection to using rosin to fasten
foundations in the frames is that it
will spoil the wax later on.
There is often considerable diff
ference in the amount of brood in diff.
ferent colonies, and consequently in
the amount Of honey left in their brood

GEESE ARE STUPID.
According to nm Old Poultryman They
Can't stand q RRinstorm
When Thirsty.

.Geeae are peculiar" said an old
poultry salesman in Manhattan mar
ket. "Put them out in a rainstorm
when they have good thirst on and
they are liable to die. About ten years
ago was engaged by firm to go out
through the west and buy live geese
and chickens. / bought ten car loads,
put them in crates and started east.
The geese were in the crates nearest
the floor of the open car-thats the
regular way to ship them-and on top
Of them were piled the chicken crates.
1--WE got about ten miles from st. Jo-
soph, Mo-, when the load on one OF the
cars sagged, and the whole pile OF
crates was spilled on the side OF the
track. In piling the crates on again
the geese were placed on top. l knew
' was taking chances, because rain
storm meant death to the geese, but
there didn't seem to be any storm in
sight, and l thought we could make
ST. Joseph and shift the load there.
The train had only gone short dis
tance when storm came up so sud
denly that the rain was falling almost
n, soon as the clouds were noticed,
The geese had been without water for
some hours, and the moment they felt
the rain they were stretching their
necks through the openings between
the Stats and holding their bills open
to catch the drops. Well, got an old
coat and laid it over as many OF the
crates as 1t would cover, so as to save
as many as possible. Then / got
switch and tried to force the others to
keep their heads inside the crates,
They didn't mind the switch very
much, and had to give each one four
or five good hits before II would pull in
It's head, and when started on new
head the old one would pop up again.
When we got into st. Joseph 1t was
still raining, and every goose in the
top crates with the exception of those
under the coat was dead. Whether
they died from drinking too much or
from drinking while their necks were
II an unnatural position ! do not
know, but every mar who has handled
live geese knows that thirsty goose
in rainstorm in a crate is as good as
dead. I've never told of this peculiar.
ity about geese without being doubted,
but you just ask any poultryman if It
isn't true."-N. Y. SUI.

demand for Eai LINN lis

Prof. Henry says, in Feeds and Feed
Ing, the demand for well-fattened
lambs steadily increases, the tender
Juicy meat finding favor among Amer
leans. Not only do prices for fat
lambs rule hig! as compared with ma.
ture sheep and farm animals general.
ly, but there are other advantages in
favor of feeding Of lambs before they
reach maturity. A given weight oil
feed goes further with the lambs than
mature sheep; the money invested is
sooner returned, and there is less risk
from death and accident. Thus, every.
thing tends toward hurrying lambs to
market as rapidly as they can be fat
tened and as early as they can be dis
posed Of to secure the highest price.

A HANDY BUILDING.
House, the basement n Comfort
able Winter Shelter.

One of the great drawbacks with
some farmers is that their outbuild-
ings are not arranged conveniently or
with any thought of economy. This is
something during these days of rapid
progress and desperate competition
that will not do. Saving in little things
may often seem too trivial, we admit,
but if not carried to the point of
penny wise and pound foolish" 1t is
what helps to plant the most gigantic
stones in the pyramid of any industry
How many farmers have sunk for
tunes in machinery of every descrip-
ton simply for the want of properly
housing and taking care of it! Then,
numerous are the dollars paid out

EXIT Wooden Furniture.

It is possible in these days to fit out a
bedroom with the use of little wood.
To the brass bedsteads are now added
brass dressing tables and cheval
glasses mounted in brass. Clothes
trees of brass or nickel are also seen,
and towel racks of either metal may be
had. The dressing tables are mounted
in brass and have glass top, the
drawers being of wood with brass trim
mings. Wicker sofas piled with cush-
ions, wicker table and low chair
continue the elimination Of the here
tofore indispensable woods.

The Tired Preachcr

Psychologists have been investigate
the nature of the poison which is en-
gendered by fatigue. If the blood of a
fatigued animal he injected into an.
other animal that is fresh and unfa.
tigued, all the phenomena of fatigue
will be produced. The poison which is
produced by fatigue is Of the same ma.
ture as that into which the Indians
used to dip their arrows; and a most
deadly poison it is found to be. "In case
it is created more rapidly than can be
carried off by the blood, the organism
suffers seriously" A preacher should
make it rule never to work at his ser.
mons when he is tired. Tired compost.
tion is sure to tell injuriously on the
sermon as delivered, and tired preach
ing makes tired hearing. The biogra-
pher of Dean Stanley says that one

IA,
TO REMOVE STAINS.
Not a Very Difficult Task II You Imp
pen to Know How to Go
About II.

Coffee, tea or wine stains are rather
difficult to remove from table linen
if they are of long standing and have
been washed with soap, which tends to
set their color, says the Philadelphia
Times. Javelle water-which can be
made at home or purchased from the
druggists generally most successful.
Put about half pint Of javelle water
and quart of clear water into an
earthen bowl Let the stained article
soak in this for several hours, then
rinse thoroughly in three waters. 1t
is only white goods that can be treated
in this manner, as the javelle water
bleaches out the color.
Sewing machine oil stains can be re-
moved by rubbing the stain with sweet
oil or lard and letting it stand for sew
eral hours. Then wash 1t In soap and
cold water. For peach or tar stains
rub hard, let it stand few hours and
sponge with spirits of turpentine until
the stain is removed. If the color Of
the fabric be changed, sponge it with
chloroform and the color will be re-
stored. Use lemon juice and salt 10
remove iron rust, ink and mildew on
white goods. Whiten yellow linen by
boiling half an hour in one pound
of fine soap, melted in one, gallon Of
milk. Then wash in suds, then in two
cold waters, with little blueing.
BY putting lace handkerchiefs in
warm water in which are few drops
of ammonia and using CASTLE soap they
are easily cleansed and made a beauti-
full, clean white. Then do not iron, but
spread the handkerchief out smoothly
on marble or glass, gently pulling out
or shaping the lace. just before 1t
is entirely dry, fold evenly and smooth
ly and place under heavy weight of
some kind, and you will find handker-
chiefs lasting thrice as long as before,
