PURE
WATER.

If the advice given in those three
words is needed, good health will fol-

reasons, principally, because it is con-
taminated with vegetable and putrid
matter of all descriptions. A simple
analysis shows this to be fact.

Those who attend the reception

A CATS TREACHERY.
Thomas Made Friends with His
Natural Enemy and Then
DcvO1reG HiE.,

| A family leaving town for the sum-
mer left behind one Thomas, big cat,
who had reputation throughout the
| street in which he lived as a fighter
| and a ratter.
PROVISION was made for Thomas SUBJ
| sistence during the summer with the
| miikman, who each morning poured
into dish inside the area some milk.
Thomas, while vicious enough to
other than intimate acquaintances,
was while at home OF a socia BILE DISPOSE
ton. Personally he missed great deal
the family and the pet pug, with whom
he was on the best OF terms.
AT any rate on the family's return
the members were surprised when the
servant hurried upstairs and told
them Tom was playing, in Il most friend
~ manner IN tne area with an immense
rat.
Everybody tiptoed down to look.
Sure enough Tom had made new
friend. Lis love of society had over
come his natural instinct, and he was
drinking his breakfast while the rat
was jumping around the saucer in the
most unconcerned manner
But alas for the rats confidence in
feline nature! For a few days all went
well between the strange friends. They
were often seen together and were
always apparently on the best of terms.
One morning, however, Bridget coming
downstairs found the rats headless
body. Thomas whiskers were stained
with blood.
Either the whi!om friends had quar-
relied, or, relieved by the return of the
family from the necessity of taking up |
with eny acquaintance he could make. !
Thomas had decided to give I'D his
friendship. And with that decision
pTooaoly his normal instincts had re-
'uIneu their sway.-Golden Days.

well lighted by windows. In the alley
in front of the horses, and next to the
side of the barn is grain box large
enough to hold several bushels, which
is mouse proof.
The barn floor is roomy, and affords a
convenient place for storing wagons,
as well as some farm tools. A track for
horse fork is fastened to the rafters
in the peak of the barn and runs the
whole length, so the hay can be unload
ed from the floor and deposited in the
bays or in the lofts over the stables at
either end of the barn, by horse power.
The sheep stable has an earth floor,
which is thickly covered with dry straw
before the sheep are put in for the win
ter. This stable is not cleaned out I'M
til spring. The contents of the horse
stable are thrown out through windows,
while those of the COW stable are taken
out on wheelbarrow, and deposited
with the horse manure, thus mixing the

BREEDING HORSES,
Great Care Must Be Taken in Raising
Colts and Preparing Them
for the Market.

1t will be admitted readily by very
large per cent. OF men engaged in all
lines of business that times have great
ly changed and that methods of doing
business have changed decidedly, says
Spirit of the West. New conditions
must be met. No intelligent or we'll
posted man will doubt the above. vet
we have altogether too many farmers
and breeders who have made very few
changes in the method of producing
horses as regards breeding higher
class and also in care of the colts and
maturing them for market. Somehow
or other the same ambition to produce
a hrst-class horse is not as strong as to
produce irst-class corn, wheat or oats.
The impression prevails that the colt
will, some time or other, without much
care or attention, grow into a horse and
sell at the average market price. There
was a time when this was true, but that
time has gone by. From the time the
breeder contemplates breeding a colt
he must begin to carefully study all
the conditions. In the first place. he
must breed to a frst-class, well-bred.
