Once, upon time an operator in stocks
was sold short, and ruin stared him in the
face unless the market should break. In his
desperation he remembered having heard
that honesty is the best policy. He tried to
dismiss the foolish thought, but in vain.
Final liiy, like the drowning man catching at
the straw, he resolved to try being honest.
The very next day he put his design into ex,
ecutlon, and he hadn't been honest more
than 10 minutes when II of the leading bnjIs
fell dead, they were so surprised at him,
Hldereupon the market naturally broke. and
the operator could get all the stocks he
wanted at his own figure. 1t is claimed that
some, II not all, of these bulls had taken
radishes and ham for breakfast, but that, it
is submitted, does not destroy the moral of
this fable.-Detroit Journal

WATER BARREL SLED.

such as is shown in the accompanying
illustration, all lifting is avoided. The
sled is about fom feet wide and the
runners aacut five long. The cross
pieces are of two-inch boards and should
be mortised into the runners to give
strength. To keep the barrel from
sliding off the sled when passing over
uneven ground, blocks cut from 2x4
are nailed down to the cross pieces of
the sled in such way that they will
fit snugly about the bottom of the bar
rel. The longer blocks should be hewn
out. With these blocks there is little
danger of the barrel upsetting. This
sled being small and light is useful
about the farm, where only light haul
ing not requiring more than one hosse
is to be done.-Orange Judd Farmer.

A male of medium size should be
preferred t" one that is heavy and
clumsy. Most persons pay too much
attention to the size. They overlook
the fact that the larger the bird the
longer the period required for reach
ing maturity. Provided the male Sc
lected is pure bred, it is an advantage
If he is small rather than large, where
the object is to hatch out pullets that
are desired to mature early. In Sc
lecting the male let it be done with
some object in view and which is to be
accomplished. 1t is of no advantage to
accept one as a gift if he is not suit
able for the purpose. Bear in mind also
that the male, SO far as his influence

Hints to MheeIxomen.

Lady cyclists should always be pro-
vided with a needle and thread in case
the dress comes to grief. A stitch III

fall. Matches are another thing that

MAKING A SOD-HOUSE.

Parts of the West.

Plow the sod one foot wide and four
inches deep, and for three-foot wall
cut with a spade into two foot lengths.
Build around the four sides, keeping
the walls as near the same height as
possible, so they will settle alike. AL
