FEEDING FARM HORSES.
A Canadian Farmer Tells of a System
Which Has Produced Very Sat-
isfactory Results.

I have, always believed that we farm
ers feed too much hay to our horses.
Certainly we feed fully twice as much
as cur friends in the city, and only about
half as much grain as horse-owners in
the city feed. Since June l, have been
feeding my horses by a novel method,
which find eminently satisfactory. At
the end of May, this year, I found my
self without hay for my horses, and a
large amount of work TO do. I could
procure hay from some of my neigh
bors, but of very poor quality. This
kind of hay did not want.
Up to this time the grass pasture was
very poor, but along toward June it be-
gan to be fair. I therefore decided to
get along without hay, and depend en-
tircly on pasture and grain. On the
evening of June 1, turned my work
horses to pasture. In the morning I
took them up and gave them feed of
oats and bran, about five quarts per
horse. That is all they got for break
fast, in addition to what grass they had
eaten. At noon they were fed no hay.
only feed of oats and bran - six
quarts per animal, and nothing else. At
four o'clock, as is usual with us, we took
them up for tea, watered them and fed
another feed of oats. At sundown, when
we knock off work, the horses were
turned out to pasture. This has been
and is still the ''bill of fare'' for my
horses-grass during the night, and
grain (about a half-bushel of oats, in
three feeds) during the day. AS re-
suit, my horses are doing, splendidly
and gaining all the time.
I am greatly pleased with this method
of feeding horses-hay or pasture at
night, and grain during the day.. a.

THE MODEL PRIMARY TEACHER.

Her CHEEKY smile reflects heart as genial
as the sun,
And warns the Juveniles from morn until
the day is done:
She wins their loyalty through love until
they firmly stand
For her and for her efforts, . devoted,
trusty band,
Resolved to conquer knowledge, guided by
the golden rule,
All rallying round this teacher who has
magnetized her school.
Not perfect is this maiden who would rule
the juveniles,
But she must know intuitively urchin ways
and wiles:
Must frown effectively at times to supple
ment her smile,
And puncture like bubble childish ugli-
mesa and guile;
Though these may be real angels that her
duty to her brings,
They're in the chrysalis as yet and have
not sprouted wings.
They change from good to variable or vio-
lent in trice,
Though hearts be warm and level, manners
are not always nice:
or sheer,
And instantly when chided pump they up
the facile tear:
Her eyes must be like gimlets gagged to
puncture false pretense,
And back of them brain well stocked with
kindly common sense.
In serious emergencies, when some are
darkly bad,
She may be called to shingle an erratic lass
or lad,
Though this of course is drastic and the
very last extreme
For little angels who are not 30 heavenly
as they seem;
Sometimes little anarchist his parents do
not rule
Must have 1.-THE Rogue's March" played on
him when sulking like mule.
But mostly rules she all her realm by
noblest laws Of love,
Thus placing kindness and calm all other
things above;
She reaches minds through little hearts
whose portals open wide
To one who wins them to her way, a wise,
magnetic guide;
The primary instructor lays the corner
stones and stills
Molds men from slippery urchins with most
stubborn souls and wills
And from her fount Of knowledge every lit
tie pitcher fills.

Weeds Used for Food.

Some OF the weeds can be used for
food if prejudice against them did not
exist. The dandelion is cultivated in
France, but is regarded as pest here.
Succory is raised in European gardens.
Pigweed is delicacy to the Chinese,
and young pokeweed has long been
known in the southern states as edible.
The common nettle, milkweed and mall
low are used in Europe. Purslaine, one
of TIE most persistent and despised
pests in this country, is cultivated in
Europe, being regarded as very valu-
able plant.

A FINANCIAL EXPERT.
He Got Busy with the Managing Edi.
tor to That Gentleman's
Discontinue.

There is gentleman in Chicago the
boom of cannon fred in front of the
Times-Herald office would easily carry to
him as he sits at his desk-who has made q
study of economies and who writes fDtncial
editorials.
A few weeks ago the managing editor took
vacation and the financial expert was left
in general charge of the paper. One morn
ing recently he received letter from the
managing editor, who wrote:
Il am stranded over here in Canada. I
have been buying lot of stuff that may be
useful to me some time, and need $50. Will
you please send me draft for the sum
named?"
OF course he would. 1t would be pleas
ure to accommodate the managing editor.
So the great financial expert hurried over
to the First national bank, in which he kept
his account, and asked for draft for $50 tn
send to his friend. The bank officer gave
him paper to sign, and after giving direc-
lions where to send the draft the writer re-
turned to his desk
Two or three uneventful days passed, and
there came another letter from the map aging
editor.
Dear sir" he wrote, Il asked you to
send me some money, and told you was
strapped What do you mean by drawing
on me for $50? I have telegraphed to a
FRIEND. who has sent money to pay>my way
home."-Chicago Times-Herald.

COLD STORAGE EGGS
They Are Good Enough for ordinary
Purposes, But Not UP to Ere sh-{
Laid Ones.

Cold storage of eggs opens oppor-
tunities for sales that would not other
wise be afforded. Objections may be
made to them by some, but they are
nevertheless necessity at the present
time, as they relieve the market of the
surplus during certain seasons when
the supply of eggs and poultry is un-
limited. The eggs are kept at tenn
perature just above the freezing point,
the object being not to allow them to
become frozen, and at the same time to
keep them in Q condition which pre-
vents any changes. The main objection
to the system is that the eggs are sold
as "fresh laid" which is an imposition
on the purchaser, and there seems no
way to overcome the difficulty. There
should be law compelling those who
subject eggs and poultry to the cold
storage process to label or mark them
in such manner as to make the fact
known, the same as is done with bogus
butter. If anyone wishes to purchase
cold storage materials the right to do
so should not be denied them, but to
sell cold storage eggs as "fresh laid"
is fraud and imposition. When poul-
try is kept by the cold storage process
decomposition begins as soon as the
low temperature is removed, and the
meat becomes fabby. Any person who
has compared such poultry with that
which is fresh can easily detect the
difference, BUT the great army of buyers
are ignorant Of the fact that to certain
extent cold storage destroys the quail
ity, and they willingly buy an article
that has been preserved by cold stor-
age, believing it to be strictly fresh,
although they would not do so if they
were informed of the facts by proper
labels or marks.-Farm and Fireside.

A Matter Of Memory
BY R. K. n UNKlTTRlCK.

G HE had been on a shopping tour
y since morning, and therefore
seemed very happy when she joined
her husband on the home-bound even
ing train. After they were comfortably
seated she said, with great vivacity:
II struck great bargain in gloves to-
day. Now, what do you think, 1 got
three pairs of dollar and a quarter
gloves for two dollars. I can't undo
the parcel here, but when we get home
I'll show them to you, and you'll just
open your eyes," .....
The husband smiled at her girlish
enthusiasm, when she suddenly asked:
did you order the quail to be sent
out from the market?"
1'Great Scott" he replied, in sort
of hysterical confusion, II forgot all
about it,"
She almost giared at him in her sud
den chagrin and disappointment.

Where clay subsoil prevails, and this

is good opportunity to build cement
cisterns very cheap and durable. In

be struck the desired size, and after
thrown open several feet in depth the
circumference should be lessened one

sands of tents to be furnished and a
great number of horses. Uniforms are
costly, and soldier is supposed to re-
quire suit of clothes and two pair of
shoes every year, with an extra pair
of trousers, half a dozen pairs of gloves
and all sorts of etceteras.
The commissary department keeps at
Manila an immense stock of what are
called sales articles" that is, things
that are not furnished gratis by the
government, but which men and off,
GERS want to buy. In this way Uncle
Sam has got rid of the old-time mis-
chief of suffers, who used to follow the
troops about during the civil war with
their shops on wheels, selling things
to the soldiers and often chea ting them
badly. The ''sales articles" referred to
include various delicacies in the way
of food, from canned fruits ITO bottled
mince-meat, pens and note paper, tow
els and handkerchiefs, thread and
needles, tobacco, and even candy.
Great quantities of merchandise of this
sort are sent by every ship that leaves
for the Philippines, and an effort is
made ito keep always ahead of the de-
mand.
Necessarily large quantities Of sup
plies for the signal corps and engineer
corps in the Philippines have to be con-
Stantly furnished, and the demands
upon the ordinance bureau of the army
are enormous. Not only does the ordi
nance bureau have to furnish all the
guns of all sorts, but it is required to
deliver ever so many small equipments
down to knapsacks, cartridge belts,
spoons, forks and tin plates In the
archipelago at present we have only
about 500 cavalry and 1,400 artillermen.
The number OF infantrymen, including
officers, is about $1,000. The cost of
ordnance equipments for each infan
tryman, including his gun, is $25; for
each artilleryman it is $25 and for each
cavalryman, including carbine, saddle,
bride, etc, the estimate is s75 1t IS
reckoned that the equipments of an in
fantryman or artilleryman will last
four years, while those of a cavalry
man have to be replaced every three
years.
Happily this is a rich country and q
few millions of dollars month make
small difference to Uncle Sam when he
is engaged in helping to lift the white
mans burden. - Washington Core

OUR SOLDIER BOYS
Ton of Gold Sent Monthly to the
Philippines.
HOW THE MEN ARE PAID
Amounts to Over Half a Million Every
Four Weeks How Sent and
How the Funds are
Distributed.

The money sent to the Philippines
every month to pay the American land
forces, if all of it We're in gold, would
weigh almost exactly a long ton-pre-
cisely speaking, 1920 pounds. If all in
silver, it would tip the scales at o5,400
pounds. Thus it appears that IN wages
alone the army in the archipelago con-
sumes "A pounds of gold per diem, or
,1SO pounds of silver every day. Put-
ting it otherwise, our fighting men on
the islands draws from the treasury OF
the United States a little over three
pounds of gold per hour, or about tour-
fifths of an ounce every minute.
The pay of the American troops in
the far-dStant archipelago amounts to
100000 a month. Just about every 60
days a paymaster leaves San Francis
co for Manila with $1,20O,000 in cold
cash. This money is placed by the war
department to the credit of Colonel
Fox chief paymaster of the depart
ment of the Pacific al the sub-treas-
ury in San Francisco. He hands 1t
over to the office selected to convey it
to the Philippines, and it is taken di-
rectly from the sub-treasury to the
steamship, under guard by file Of
soldiers.
Most of the money is in gold-double
eagles, eagles and half eagles. This
much; but there is some silver also, in
dollars and in subsidiary coin as well
as a few thousand dollars in notes.
United States notes have not yet OBJ
tanned general recognition in the Phil
| ippines, and not being eaGily disposed
| of on that account, silver and gold are
| more convenient for ordinary dealings.
| Another objection to silver out there
! is that people in that part of the world

| metal at or near its bullion value, and

AT the sub-treasury the money is
put up in bags-the gold in sacks OF
