PASSING OF THE OK.
One of the Sad But Inevitable Results
of the Quickened Life of
the Country.

Notwithstanding the ubiquity of the
bicycle and the tardy development of
the automobile, there is no evidence
that the horse is losing ground in our
social and domestic economy, says the
Boston Transcript. On the contrary,
there has been an increase of about 40
per cent. in horseflesh since 1912, and of
about ~ per cent. in the number of
mules, while that dear, quaint and
faithful servant of man, the patient OK,
has barely held his own in the last 16
years. This is perhaps one of the in
evitable results of the quickened life
of the country. His star is in the de-
scendant. While the country may be
congratulated upon the increased push
which demands greater speed and
power in our modern activities, a sigh
of regret will nevertheless follow the
vanishing OK just as 1t did the old stage
coach when the locomotive forced it
off the road. The gradual passing
away of the OK as beast of burden has
the pathos that attaches to the eXtinc-
ton of one of the early families. They
came into the country together, and
together they took pioneer part in its
development. They felled and drew off
the trees, they tore up the stumps, they
scanned and mellowed the rooty soil,
making it richly responsive to the
needs of man. They pulled out the
great stones that fretted the faces of
nature and made garden spots of the
rugged hillside and plain. The OK was
factor of every enterprise. He was
on the farm, at the wharf and the mill,
and when in those early days of ex-
pensive and adventurous ideas the old
| places seemed too contracted for the
| settler he bundled his family into q
| prairie schooner, while his faithful
oxen dragged the ponderous vain u
six months journey toward the setting
sun, accomplishing distance which we
may now be whirled between the twi-
light and dawn, browsing cheerily as
| they wended their toilsome way along
and boarding themselves when the
| time for nightly camping arrived. But
| the old fellow has had his day except
| where the conditions are still primi'
| tive. Once he was the steady reliance
of every farmer, but now one hardly
sees yoke in the harvest field or the
plow lot. His pace cannot be read
justed to the quick step of modern idea'
and inventions, and utilitarianism has
no use for the poetic or the pictur
esque. More and more his destination
is coming to be the shambles. Thi:
makes life shorter and we might say
merrier but merriment in an OK is in
| conceivable.

AN INCUBATOR BABY.
Little One Thus Reared in Chicago
Now Is Handsome, Fat and
Healthy Child.

Miss Lolita Armour, just two years
Did, and the granddaughter of Philip
d. Armour, is the sturdiest incubator
baby in the world. She is as pretty,
weighs as much and is as full of life to-
day as babies which the storks usher
Into the world more propitiously.
Ever since the sly little mink,
tucked away in her incubator cradle,
heard the grandfather say that if she
lived he would give her half million
for her grit, she has done nothing but
thrive industriously. She is the child
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Ogden Armour, of
Michigan avenue. When little Miss
Lolita came into the world she weighed
barely three pounds, and her doting
grandfather was told that by the
merest chance she might be saved by
an incubator The dearest wish of P.
D. Armour's heart was for grand
daughter. The two lively boys of his
son Philip filled up one gap in his af-
fections, but left room for at least one
tiny daughter. But granddaughter
was one luxury that money could not
pay for. AS soon, then, as the much

Sea GuIIs Are Cunning.

An example of the cunning of gulls
was observed at Tacoma, when several
alighted on bunch of logs that had
been in the water for long time, with
the submerged sides thick with bar
nacles. One was big gray fellow, who
seemed to be the captain. He walked
to particular log, stood on one side of
it, close to the water, and then uttered
peculiar cries. The other gulls came
and perched on the same side of the
Jog, which, under their combined
weight, rolled over few inches. The
gulls, step by step, kept the log rolling
until the barnacles showed above the
water. The birds picked eagerly at this
food, and the log was not abandoned
until every barnacle had been picked.

Epective view in the illustration. In this
way long "tie-up" is furnished for the
stock as well as place for calves, thus
leaving that place where the cows stood
under the main roof to be utilized for
silo, feeding bins and such like, as
can be seen in the plan, while the hay
bay remains as before. This gives an
arrangement that is highly convenient
for feeding and caring for stock, and,
best of all, the entire change can be ef-
fected at very small expense.-Freder-

Baby Disgusted the Dog.

In a certain house there was a very
fine baby and also very fine dog.
They were much attached to each 9th
er, and the only thing that marred
their pleasure was baby's daily bath.
During this proceeding baby always
howled himself black and blue, and the
dog, out of sympathy, crouched in q
corner and moaned. After month or
two of this daily anguish the dog de-
vised scheme TO stop it. One day,
while baby was bowling as usual, the
dog came marching into the room car
rying rattle in its mouth, and, stand.
ing by the tub, shook his head-and
the rattle-vigorously. Baby actually
stopped crying a minute to see what
this unusual proceeding meant, but
then began again with extra power
The dog dropped the rattle with dis
gusted air, and after that day, always
managed to be out of the house during
baby's bath.

LOADING DRESSED HOGS.
A Device by Means of Which the Car.
cnss Is Handled with Almost
No Lifting.

One of the chief outdoor difficulties
at butchering time is the loading OF
heavy dressed hogs intended for mar
ket. Frequently this is done by one
man, aided by the women of the house
hold, and it is usually productive Of
much nervousness and some irrita'
bility. All this may be remedied in the
following way:
Make and keep from one season to an
other large tripod by joining at the
top three stout poles, c, 13 feet long.
Keep the upper ends of the poles from
splitting by means of iron bands. The
over ends are sharpened to point,

CUTTING UP HOGS.
Not Many Farmers Know How to Do
This Neatly, Expeditiously and to
the Best Advantage.

For cutting up, the carcass of hog
should be laid on the back, upon a
strong table. The head should then
be cut off close by the ears, and the
hinder feet so far below the houghs as
not to disfgure the hams, and leave
room sufficient for hanging them up;
after which the carcass is divided into
equal halves, up the middle of the back
bone, with a cleaving knife, and, ii
necessary, hand-maliet. Then cut the
ham from the side by the second JOIN
of the backbone, which will appear on
dividing the carcass, and dress the
ham by pairing a little off the flank, OF
skinny part, SO as to shape it with q
half round point, clearing off any TOP
fat which may appear, Next cut off the
sharp edge along the backbone with 6
knife and mallet, and slice off the first
rib next the shoulder, where there /,
bloody vein, which must be taken out
since, if it is left in, that part is apr
to spoil The corners should o,
squared off when the ham is cut. Th'
ordinary practice is to cut out thu

Frozen stock in Market.

There is some complaint that the
large amount of frozen stock reduces
prices. If the other side is considered
it will show that by free freezing the
chicks in the fall, when prices are low,
better sales are made through the win
ter; hence, what may be loss to some
is gain to others. Taken on the whole,
the refrigerators have increased the
markets for poultry by creating a large
demand for late chicks. Frozen poultry
cunnot compete with that which is
choice and fresh, however. 1t comes on
the market and sells because there is
nothing to compete with it, and the sup
ply is usually exhausted by the time
spring broilers are ready.-Farm and

He Proved Himself n Greater Hero,
Than His Selfish Brother, Who
Fought in Cuba.

When the first call for troops reached
the village last spring John Black
struck his spade into the ground and
turned toward the house. "I'll gol"
he said TO himself.
But as he neared the farmhouse he
stopped. There was his old mother and
poor, crippled Jenny. How could he
leave them?
He had given up marriage for these
two; he had drudged all his life. But
here was great work to be done-a
chance really to live; or to die nobly.

THE FARMERS LOT.
In the Main II Is Prosperous and
q Happy One All Over the
United States.

Because the farmer does not receive
every year for his crops and stock a
high price, he should not permit him
self to grow Indifferent and think farm
ing a nonpaying business. Like any
other vocation farming has its ups and
downs. Some farmers, however, seem
tc think that hard times" are going to
be with us always. Not SO. The am
bilious, progressive, scientific farmer is
prospering to-day and has no time to
complain. Those who take a gloomy
view of everything, and see failure
where there is success, can never hope
to improve their conditions by will-o'-
the-wisp methods.
Above all, the farmer should be hope
full and not easily discouraged, which
is in most cases unwarranted. Your
flying the mortgage on your farm than
the political party with which you may
be allied.
Practical, scientific, well directed,
carefully studied work are the farmers
weapons with which to combat adver-
sity and win the abundant prizes ma
ture offers. A disgruntled, apathetic
farmer, who thinks those of his calling
absolutely lost and can never get out OF
debt, is curse to any community.
The condition of the farming class OF
the United States to-day is, in the main,
prosperous. An occasional "howler" is
found in every section, but he would be
pessimistic in the Celestial city.-Ag-
