1t Is not rare thing for the dealer
to get more money out of horse than
the man who bred and raised him to
marketable age has received. Such
instances are quite often held up by
the farmers many and willing advis-
ers to show what the farmer who bred
the horse failed to get-all because he
didn't go on and fit him for the city
buyer. We have little patience with
the people who can always see where
the farmer has missed it in instances
of this kind. They rarely know any
thing about fitting horses for the city
market. They have no idea of the
time, patience, money and skill re.
quired. They do not see the five or
more horses that are bought and tried
and found wanting for every one the
dealer succeeds in making into real
good one. They don't know that all
this is simply impossible for the farmer,
even though he were capable of doing
it-in which case he would have no
business farming.
Doubtless many farmers sell horses
for less than they are worth to the
dealer because they don't know how
good the horse is. But the dealer
doesn't know all about it either until
he tries the horse. Every man who
raises a horse should study to know
what that horse is worth and then to
get it, In the latter is included the
fitting of the horse for the market Just
so far as it can be done proftably.
This means in the majority of cases to
show him to the buyer thoroughly
broken in good flesh and good spirits.
The farmer has neither time nor op-
portunity to do much more than this,
and the dealer is entitled to all the
profit he can get out of the horse after
this. More men lose money by not
making their horses fesby than by
failure to fit them for the select city
market. -Stockman.

See that the eggs are clean before
being sent to market.
No fowl should be allowed to get
thoroughly wet, except a duck or
goose.
The question of profit or loss in
poultry keeping depends largely on
Care or carelessness.
The incubator should take the place
Of the hen, if you intend to make the
chicken business pay.
The earlier the hens shed their old
coats the sooner they will begin to
make winter egg record.
Two roosters when but one is
needed. If that is the way you are
conducting the poultry business, your
system is wrong.
Give as much of a variety as pos
sible. Young chicks soon tire of the
best of feed if confined to it for any
great length of time.
A chick which has been thoroughly
wet and chilled might as we'll be
killed. 1t has been robbed of its
vitality and will never amount to
much.
Whatever kind of birds one selects,
he should have the best of its kind,
For them to be off in size, or laying
qualities, or vigor, defeats the whole
suppose OF keeping fowls.

A gold chain OF new and most in
genious design was seen the other
night at the opera. All girls know
what a nuisance it is not to be able TO
get the neck of an evening gown to fit
closely around the shoulders, and how
often it happens that tho drawing
string will break and make one feel
most uncomfortable. Tho gold chain
in question was of very fine gold,
chased, and it was fastened at the
shoulder seam by small turquoise
put through small hole in the chem
isette, which began there and met in
the centre of the bodice. At the top
of this chemisette, made of the finest
kind of muslin, sheer end delicate,
was narrow beading, and in and out
of this beading the gold chain was
passed. 1t was fastened i'll front with
n lovely pjeweled clasp of turquoises
and diamonds, which pushed up as on
an eyeglass chain, and the chain then
hung down to the waist line; at the
end of it was n drop of turquoises and
diamonds to match the clasp. The
wearer of this charming invention said
it never slipped or loosened, and was
the "comlort OF her life. "-Harper's

blended glory of the autumn leaf, and
the exquisite symmetry of the snow
crystal; if these things are revealed to
the eager gaze of the little child what
possibilities of intense enjoyment are
presented! Another lesson is taught
OF great value, namely, that these
beautiful things must be enjoyed
without touching, as they are too deli.

A leading grocer in an Eastern city
gives the following experience, and
draws q lesson from it for the benefit
of every cheesemaker in the country.
The grocer advertised cold cheese, a
year old to-day. It is rich and mellow
and of delicious favor, but not strong"
He had the goods, plenty of them,
and they were just as advertised. All
day and late in the evening the people
gathered around that cheesc-counter,
waiting to be served, like the crowd
at the Friday bargain-table in de-
partment store. The cheese melted
away about as fast as the attendant
could cut and put it up. Very few
asked the price. The quality was
there, and they were willing to pay
for it. 1t was high enough TO cover
what was paid the producer a year
ago, storage, interest on the invest
ment and fair retailers profit. There
was probably more cheese sold at that
counter on Saturday than there will
be of the average run of grocery cheese
in month.
There is an obiect-lesson in this in
cident that the cheese producers of
New York would do well to study.
They are making cheese for export,
competing with countries that can
produce good cheese at lower cost
than here and selling to a combina-
ton of operators in the poorest cheese
market ons earth. There is a trade
right here at home that will take all
the good cheese offered at twice what
the maker gets for the article pro-
duced. 1t is fact that here in the
cheese centre of the United States it
is difficult for the critical consumer to
find satisfactory piece of cheese.
The grocer referred to filled q long
felt want, and he was rewarded with
big trade. Connecticut Farmer.

The cycle show at one time. both in
this country and in England. seemed
to have outliyel its usefulness. There
seemed not to he enough that was new
each year to warrant the trouble and
expense of large show. But either
the cycling public yearly includes so
large proportion of new comers as
to make what is old to others a novelty
to them, or else the people found suf-
fcient beguilemelt in the many
souvenirs, together with the few nov
elites, to make them willing to sup
port an annual exhibition, observes
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
AT any rate, the recent show proved
to be one Of the best held in America.
That burning question, the chaiuless
wheel, will be the chief feature. and
next to it will come the automobile
vehicles; for the cycle, from fad. has
come to take a similar place to that of
the trolley cars in the public mind as
a necessity with certain pleasurable-
ness about it. The chainless wheel is

Here are the laws of health for
women laid down in monosyllables:
Don't worry. Don't hurry. Don't
overeat. Don't starve. Breathe fresh
air every day and night. Sleep and
rest great deal. Spend less nerv-
GUS energy every day than you make.
Be cheerful. Work like a woman,
but don't be worked to death
Avoid passion and excitement. AS
sociate with healthy people. Health
is contagious as well as disease.
Don't carry the whole world on your
shoulders, far less the universe.
Never despair. Lost hope is u fatal
disease

Benefit of Women Physicians.

The increasing number of women
physicians has been an actual benefit
to women and children quite aside
from the fact that by opening the pro-
fession to women many of them have
been able to care for themselves in q
way that they could not otherwise
have done, says DIR. Alice Blackwell,
the pioneer woman physician. She
considers that women patients are
more frank with woman physician
than with a man, and that woman
can treat children more successfully.

clubwomen of the conventional sort),
that we women are taking ourselves
too seriously. We are doing every.
thing from the thoughtful, difficult
standpoint, and while we do not in

we do feel that it would be we'll to

THE PRISONER.

A mans skull IS his lifelong jail;
Behind its prison bars,
From its eye-windows doth the soul
Peep at the earth and stars;
But unlike jails of wood or stone,
It's prisoner ever dwells alone.
Though through its front doors perfumed
gales
Are blown from glens of gladness,
Aud through its back doors music strains
Roll in waves of madness,
And though we hear and heed each tone,
The prisoner still must dwell alone.

Or dirges deep and tender,
The prisoner hears the mirth and moan,
But in his jail he dwells alone.

He loves in all its sweetness:

No heart is ever fully known,
The prisoner ever dwells alone.
