Psychological Horses.
In mythology the horse is several times
mentioned. There was Pegasus, the wing
ed horse of Apollo and the MUSES.. who
subsequently had Bellerophon for a mas
ter; and then there is the familiar story
of the results of disobedience in the case
OF Phaeton, the SON of Sol, who. losing
control of his fathers fiery steed vas pre-
eipltated by a thunderbolt hurled at him
by the irate Jupiter into the River Pc.
Alexander the Great, in his time, had a
wonderful steed, the celebrated Buchepha-
nus We have all heard, too. of the Cen
taurs, those semi-human horses and semi
equine men, as Ovid terms them which
warrants the inference that horses then
nrst made their appearance in Thessaly,
II not in Greece. These people lived about
a century before the Trojan war, for Chi
rom VINO was their chief, was the precep-
'or OF Achilles. As the Mexican, at the
sight of the Spanish cavalry landing on
their shores ran off in a fright, conceiving
that man and horse were but one animal.
so did the people of Thessaly fly, panic
stricken, at the sight of the double-shaped
mcomprehensible monster that charged
them. 1t is almost certain that these Cen
taurs were a tribe of Pelasgi, or emigrants
from Phrygia and the southern shores Of
the Euxine, which were occupied at an
early time by the Egyptians, planted there
by Sesostris in his expedition This CON
firms the Greek tradition that Phiyre.
the mother of the Centaurs, lived with
Saturn in Philyries.
Notes.
1t was not customary in ancient times TO
shoe horses with iron, according to our
modern practice hence a strong hoof, hard
as metal and solid as flint, was reckoned
one OF the chief qualities of a steed. In
oriental countries the dryness of the roads
rendered this strength of the hoof less
necessary, the mud and mire of the
grounds surface in Northern Europe first
causing and then confirming the practice
Hannibals cavalry. chiefly Numidians los
all their hoofs in the march through the
marshy ground between Trebia and Fesa-
lac. The horses of the ancients had Meth
er saddles nor stirrups, and the Numidians
no brides, so their armor and trappings
must have compensated in manner for
these deficiencies by its great splendor.

FOR SOUTHERN FARMERS.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
Discusses Some Plans.

The secretary of agriculture recent
~ visited South Carolina, where lie
studied the conditions of agriculture
and of truck gardening along the
coast, the manufacturing industries,
the tea culture, the agricultural col
lege of South Carolina and other mat
tors of interest.
In an interview the secretary said
that South Carolina is making rapid
progress in all these directions. The
farmers are learning how TO take bet
ter care of their soil; how to fertiize
and cultivate it with more profit. The
diyersification of crops has not extend
ed so far as it should, or so far as it
gradually working to that end.
The secretary said that with little
exception, white labor is being used in
the mills. In the city of Charleston the
experiment of colored labor is being
tried, and it is hoped the plan will
succeed. 1t is still an open question,
however, and is being watched with
interest. He said that other cotton
manufacturers will have to take note OF
the progress being made along this
line in the south. They are getting the
very newest machinery; the hands
work somewhat longer hours and er.
haps for little lower wages. The
southern people seem TO be entirely
satisfied with home labor and evince
no desire for immigration. The farm.
ers throughout the state are getting
better markets for their products, re.
ceiying large per cent of the $6,000,.
000 paid to the mill hands. This en-
courages the keeping of dairy cows
the feeding of hogs and the raising Of
chickens to supply the demand of the
factory people in villages.

try has been taken hold Of and is
making good progress. The people

Attend to the Details.

The time is coming, in fact, it is al
ready here, when farmers must give
more attention 10 the smaller matters,
the details, if they would be success
full There is no money in farming in
the general haphazard manner that
las been the rule heretofore. The
odds and ends that save expenses and
bring in the nickels will have to be
looked after more closely. We can
Fave as good apples, sound and per-
feet, as in the days of yore, if we will

of meat that is equal to the best NUT

year | have always contended that
on farm of so acres or over one man
car find profitable employment the
year around doing chores" One ac-
tive man can employ all of his time in
attending to the stock, the garden,
orchard and poultry. These things
arc the details of farming, and require
higher grade or skill and painstak-
ing care than field work. Generally
these things are left to the care of the
boys, who work as boys work, or to
the housewife, who already has more
than she can properly do. 1t is the
attempt to do all these things with a
rush, or while the teams are resting,
that makes the miserable drudgery of
farming. No man who is constantly
worked to death can think clearly and
plan intelligently. No woman who
must work out of doors half her time
can keep Il house neat or cook well.
Some great changes are needed along
this line. and the sooner they are
made the better.-Fred Grundy, in
