The HOrseless Future,

Once the horseless age is in full
sway, every man will have his own
automobile, and the bicycle, which has
already, to some extent, supplanted
the horse, will in turn be shelved, save
for the purpose of sport. With the
universal development of sources of
supply of electricity, the electromobile
will take the place of all other forms of
traction, and plugs will be provided in
the streets from which the aulomobilist
may take his supply of power by a
nickel in the-slot device, while along
rural highways power stations will be
established, so that journ Us of any
distance may be undertaken. Even on
on the farm, auto-wains will do the
heavy burden carrying. The horse
may still be harnessed to the plow, and
may still furnish sport on the race
course and riding exercise for the few,
but no longer will he be the chief
bearer of mans burdens. Who will
say he has not earned his rest2-Thad-
deus Horton.

Storing Squashes,

Squashes should be gathered upon
the approach of frost, as their keeping
qualities are injured by very little
frost. They should be placed in piles
and exposed to the sun during the day
and covered every frosty night until
they are thoroughly dried and they
have become hard and flinty. They
should be handled with greatest care.
1t is a bad plan to carry them by pro-
jecting stems, as if these are broken
off spots are left that are sure to start
to rotting. They will keep best in a
cellar where the temperature is cool;
if dry, they can be kept where it is
warm, but If the atmosphere is moist
they will soon rot. Squashes should
never be piled up, but should be laid
on shelves one row deep. If well hard
ened before storing and kept dry, Il Q
winter varieties may be kept until late
winter.-Rural World.

The Kisses of the Frost.

Don't you feel your spirits tingling with new and
grateful thrill,
Every nerve within you iingling with ring that
fills the bill,
Every muscle keen for action, every snew strung
anew,
And your active brain expelling every shade Of sad.

As you rise those lovely mornings from a bed of
dreamless sleep
When the stars are getting drowsy and the day be-
gins to peep,
When the grasses and the bushes with spark
ling gems embossed
And you feel the singing kisses of the saucy au
tumn frost2
All he lassitude of summer hides It's head In lazy
anne,
And, no longer cling winner, ndolently jumps the
game;
In the eye there comes sparkle of resuscitated
light
Putting all the lstess chances full of sleepness to
And the brain gets up an action full of 'vigorated
snap,
And the feet ring on the pavement with an ener
getc rap
As the hair by play full breezes of vitality Is tossed
And we feel the singing kisses Of the saucy au
tumn frost.
How it tints the fresh young faces OF the madens
with flush
That outrvals cen the softness of the rpened
peach's blush.
Gives their eyes beautiful glintng and their step
a graceful spring
As it CALAMITY sautes them with the sweetness of
it's sting.
Summer has its ripe attractions, spring Its floral
beauties rare,
And the W inter- is enhancing when with gems 1t
studs the air.
But to other season beauties admin alton soon is
lost
When we feel the singing kisses of the saucy
tumn frost
Take the slowest good-for nothing ever fetched a
lazy yawn,
Drag him from his bed of sumber when the day
begins to dawn,
And youn see strange awakening In his dull and
slothful eyes
As the freshness of the morning treats him to a

There is life in every zephyr there is tonic in the

Profit in Pork.

We often notice in the papers state
ments in regard to heavy hogs. The
man who produces 500 pound pig
seems to take considerable satisfaction
in the achievement, and there are Cir
cumstances which would warrant a
mans producing heavy hog, but if
he is simply feeding for the profit in
pork he cannot afford to produce hog
weighing more than 200 or $50 pounds.
These careful experiments have dem
onstrated beyond doubt that the main
tenance ration is in very nearly equal
proportion to live weight, that while
100 pound pig requires j pounds of
food simply to keep it, without gain or
loss, 500 pound pig, under the same
conditions, requires 8 pounds of the
same food for its support. The food
used was pound of wheat middlings
and 2 pounds of corn meal.
Prof. Henry further showed that
about pounds of this same food would
make l pound of pork. 1t will be seen,
then, that d pounds of food given the
100 pound pig would maintain him and
produce one pound gain, but with the
500 pound pig, it would require 8
pounds for his support and to make
gain OF one pound. FIVE call this feed
worth $40 ton, or l cent a pound it
will be noticed that the one pound of
pork produced by the 100 pound pig
cost 4 J cents, and the one pound of
pork produced by the 500 pound pig
cost eight cents.
Surprising we feed 5 pigs weighing
100 pounds each about % pounds of
feed costing 25 cents. We should
have a gain OF little more than 8
pounds of pork, or the pork would cost
us about 5 cents a pound. If we fed
the rs pounds of feed to 500 pound
pig, we should find a gain of about 3
pounds, or the pork would cost us in
the second case about s cents pound.
This is certainly great difference in
the cost of producing the meat. The
younger the animal after he is old
enough to consume the right kind of
ration, the less the pork will cOst.-Ex-

Late.Hatched Chickens.

The only way l have found to have
hens in the right condition for laying
during the fall months is to hatch the
chicks in September. prefer to raise
chicks in the fall, because l have more
time for caring for them than during
the spring and early summer when l
am very busy With my garden work,
and / think they grow better at this
time of year. The hottest weather of
the summer is over, and if the chicks
are given the range of farm or gar
den, they will eat the seeds that are
ripening at this time of year, and get
half of their living in this way, and
they grow very rapidly. The lice are
also less troublesome than during the
hot weather of midsummer. The
chicks will mature and get to laying at
younger age when hatched early in
the fall.-Contributor Country Gentle

to $500 per acre, produces milk at less
cost per gallon than the average Amer

Economy in the Use OF Manure.

Eleven years ago series of expert
ments was begun at the Central EXper-
iment Farm at Ottawa, Canada, to test
the relative merits of manure when
applied to different crops fresh from
the barnyard, as compared with the
same material rotted The manure
used n the experiments in each case
has been composed of equal parts by
weight of horse and COW MANURE.
In the case Of the spring wheat, we
have difference of four pounds per
acre in favor of the rotted manure. In
the barley there is a difference of
thirtyfve pounds per acre in favor of
the fresh manure, while in the case of
the oats the plat treated with fresh ma
nure has given an average yield of
grain for the ten years of six bushels
three pounds per acre more than has
been had from the use of the same
weight of rotted manure.
The crops of straw on the plats sown
with wheat have averaged practically
the same, the difference in weight be-
ing only one pound per acre in favor
of the rotted manure. On the plats
sown with barley the fresh manure has
given an average of 226 pounds more
straw, and on the plats sown with oats
the difference in favor of the fresh ma
nure has been 232 pounds, as the aver
age of the ten years test.
In the growing of Indian corn for en-
silage for period of II years, usiu g
manure at the rate of II tons per acre
each year, the plats treated with fresh
manure have given greater weight of
fodder, the average increase being 2S6
pounds per acre for the whole period.
In growing mangels for 10 years,
using barnyard manure each year at
the rate of 20 tons per acre, the advan-
tage has been with the rotted manure,
which has given an average Of 1,943
pounds per acre more of these roots
than the corresponding plat treated
with fresh manure. With turnips the
larger crops have been had from the
fresh manure, the difference amount
ing to an average of 65S pounds per
acre. In the growing of carrots for
eight years on plats MANFRED at the
rate of Is tons per acre each year, the
advantage has also been with the fresh
manure to the extent of an average of
! ton 222 pounds per acre.
In the growing of potatoes for five
years on plats which have received
barnyard manure in the proportion Of
Is tons per acre each year, the land
treated with rotted manure has given
an average crop of 266 bushels II
pounds per acre, while those on which
the fresh manure has been used have
given an average of 272 bushels 32
pounds per acre, difference in favor
of the fresh manure of bushels and
Is pounds.
On March 7, 1895, an experiment
was undertaken to ascertain the loss in
weight which occurs during the pro-
cess of rotting. Two tons of horse
manure and two tons $4,000
pounds) of cow manure were taken
fresh from the barnyard. This was
we'll mixed and placed in shed on
boards laid closely together on the
ground, thus affording more favorable
conditions in the way of preventing
teaching than the plan usually followed
of rotting manure in the open. This
manure was turned and weighed once
a month, and the pile carefully watched
