from nests that are within reach, put

Select dry location, and put in three
inches of gravel upon the ground and
keep a thick layer Of chaff upon that,
and the inmates will scratch away mer-

the building any length desired and part

HORSES AND FARMERS

No matter what your horse and team
may do, never get angry.
To abuse horse is inexcusable and
expensive, and must be paid for in dol
lars and cents.
Make all his loads proportionate to
the colts age and strength, and let them
be in position easy to start.
Train colt to know that you are his
friend, as well as master, and you will
never need to whip, except in rare in
stances of fright or backing.
Remember the horse is the dumb
beast, you the intelligent being or
dained to own and control him; but not
as tyrannical master without feeling
or appreciation.
Smooth and pet your colt with the
hand, speak to him, pick up his feet
often as the smith does; halter him
young, and never throw a harness on
colt or horse, but lay it on gently, that
he may know you do not intend to hurt
him.
Be sure that every part Of the horses
harness is safe to use, for one runaway
may be more expensive than sets Of
harness; make the latter to fit him, that
is, not buckle or a part too tight or
too loose, and see that no part gals him.

inexpensive Turkey Remedy

have seen mention of turkeys be-
ing lost on account of bowel trouble.
Several of US have lost turkeys from
the same cause, but we think we have
hit upon sure cure for it, and the
cost is comparatively nothing. We
did not lose turkey after using the
remedy. Get five cents worth
of venetian red, such as painters use,
and mix it in the food and water for
the turkeys, keeping all other water
away and compelling them to drink
the medicine" This seems simple
enough, but it does the business, and
may save some of your readers good
many dollars. I have fine flock of
turkeys that were all taken with this
trouble, but after using this remedy
they all recovered and are all right
now.-William Britton, in Ohio Farm

OATS AS HEN FEED.
anced Ration But Few Poultry
men Know Their Value.

It is surprising how opinions among
poultrymen differ as 10 the value of
oats as feed. Some poultrymen never
feed whole oats, and some make whole
oats the principal part Of their feed.
Yet, as every scientific farmer knows,
oats are nearly perfect as a balanced
ration. Some complain that their
fowls will not eat oats if they are fed
to them, but this is nothing against
oats. Wild mustangs of the western
plains will not eat corn till they are
taught to do so, but that is no argu-
ment against corn. 1t is fact that at
first fowls not accustomed to oats as
a feed do not seem to like them, but
later they even come to prefer oats
above other grains. Hens that have
been accustomed to eating oats have
been deprived Of oats for q few days
and then both oats and corn have been
thrown to them, and they have eaten
the oats before touching the corn.
Oats may be fed in any quantities
to fowls without detriment, but
should not be fed to the hens when
they have been kept so long without
food that they are ravenous. In such
cases they will pack their crops SO
full that the water subsequently
taken viii cause swelling Of the oats
and puncturing Of the membrane that
lines the crop. Birds have been killed
in this way. Where hens have access
to oats at all times they never eat
enough at one time to bring on trou-
BILE as indicated. One man that has
40 hens feeds five bushels OF oats per
month, besides other things. But the
fowls are given an unlimited supply
of commercial grits and cut-bone to
help work up the oats in the gizzard.
Oats as feed are Of great help in
the production Of eggs.-M. G. Thurs
ton, in Country Gentleman.

THE VICE OF sHYINo
why II In Sc DimeuIt to Break Many
Horses of T,his EVIL and Dan
xerous Habit.

The vice Of shying Is one OF the most
annoying and dangerous, and many
farmers cannot understand why horses
shy in the first place, and why 1t is so
difficult to break them OF this evil and
dangerous habit, says Wailaces
Farmer. They do not stop to reflect
that shying is simply revival of an old
habit essential to the very existence OF
the horse when it ran wild on desert or
plain. Every horse from colthood up
was obliged to be on the lookout for an
enemy. Were it not for its speed the
horse would be almost as defenseless as
a sheep. It must depend on its leg. for
safety, and its eye and ear TO warn 1t Of
danger. Its eyes are so placed that 1t
can see on each side and can turn its
ears in all directions, so as to catch the
slightest sound. When wolf is seen or
the sound of wolf heard, or a snake
trailing through the long grass, 1t was
ready for fight, and that habit through
all the generations still continues and IL
strongest in the horse nearest to the
original wild type and weakest in
horses Of the draft type, out OF which 1t
has been almost entirely bred. The horse
seldom fears any object unless 1t ap-
pears suddenly; therefore, the way to
break horse Of shying is not to whip it
when 1t obeys the instinct of its ances-
tors. This only makes it worse, for
It is sure to remember that if there had
even been no reason for this involuntary
motion, it is liable to get a whipping for
1t anyway. The only reasonable way to
break horse of this habit is to require
it to stop, whenever it shies. and let it
see that there Is nothing to be afraid
Of. Man himself is not much afraid of
anything he clearly sees and under
stands. It is the unknown, the myste-
rious, that which comes suddenly and
takes US unawares, Of which we stand in
fear.

he would. Sympathetic, hot

CONSuMER MuST PAY lT

There was general resumption of
work in the Pennsylvania coal mines
to-day. and the victory of the striking
miners is complete. Coke Brothers &
Co.. and Markle & Co, who are among
the biggest operators, fell in line on
Saturday and that left but the Lehigh
and Wilkesbarre Coal Company, which
had agreed to pay increased wages and
reduce the price of powder, but which
had not posted notices abolishing the
sliding scale and guaranteeing to pay
the increase until April 1, 1901 1t is
believed that it will do so before the
close Of the present week.
That the miners were eager for the
strike to end was demonstrated by
the parades and picnics they held in
honor OF the surrender of the opera
tors They had been idle five weeks,
but now will have work for the re-
mainder of the year at a 10 per cent.
increase, and soon will make up the
losses they sustained during the
strike The Philadelphia Ledger
says: THE real loss of the strike will
fall upon the consumer. A readjust-
ment OF freight rates will protect the
individual operator, and an advance
Of so cents a ton in the price Of coal
over that which ruled before the strike
will more than compensate the opera
tors and carrying companies for the
increase Of wages. The consumer is
now the only one who has any reason
to complain, and the consumer is
powerless-he has no means OF OBJ
tanning relief. Both the miners and
operators will be, undoubtedly, ma
torial gamers because Of the strike"

tainly have forced a suspension had
the institution developed any sign Of

depositors would have ensued, causing
incalculable mischief. Fortunately the
institution is sound as a gold dollar
and not only paid every penny on de-
mand, but kept its doors open after

working people engaged during the
day. The furry did no permanent

LACKS DIGNITY AND DECENCY

No Office in the world is greater in
dignity and Importance than that Of
president Of the United States. No
man in the world should possess great
er dignity OF character than he who
exercises its functions. William Jen-
nings Bryan aspires to that Office. He
has the support Of that new Demoo-
racy which had its birth in Chicago
in 1896, its confirmation in Kansas
City in 1900, and which, on November
will die at the hands OF the Ameri-
can people.
The utter fallacy of the chief politi-
cal principles represented by Mr..
Bryan and by him expounded the
length and breadth OF the land has
been shown already. Now let us look
at the man himself, and see IL, in
Thought, word and deed, he even ap-
proximates the high standard demand
ed by the office he is seeking with
such unseemly eagerness.
When he visited his birthplace in
Salem he uttered these demagogi,
words concerning all Republicans:
They will buy every vote that can b.

that can be coerced. They will intimi
