other women. Recently the wives of for

European women were entertained by
her at Pekin. From the entrance gate OF
the palalce grounds they were carried in
| imperial sedan chairs over the marble
bridge; the rest of the way to the recep-
ton hall they travelled in a tram drawn
at fairly rapid pace by palace eunuchs.

SMUT IN OATS.
The Plan Here Described Has Been
Found Effective in Kidding the
5ss Seed of All Spores.

We present herewith an illustration
showing the contrivances used in the
treatment of smut in oats. Smut, as
has been explained in this publication,
is 9 seed, spore, that lodges under the
husks of the seed or oats. When the
seed is sown it terminates the same as
oats or wheat and grows smut, after
it's kind. The plan here suggested has
been found effective and completely
rids the seed of smut spores.

which is to contain warm water into
which the oats for treatment are
dipped, being in gunny sack, which

comes thoroughly saturated, as also
do the contents, with water very

enough to hold two bushels, but it

HORSES AND FARMERS

No matter what your horse and team
may do, never get angry.
To abuse a 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 a colt to know that you are his
friend, as we'll 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.
When you go into the horse pasture,
take something in your pocket for
young and old, for they seem to say
"thank you," and 1--WE love you.'' You
will have no trouble to catch them at
any time.
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 a buckle or part too tight or
too loose, and see that no part gals him.

by a terrace only very slightly raised
above the surface of the square, and
surrounding a sunken garden, in the
middle of which will be band stand.
The terrace, as we'll as the garden itself,
will afford large space for listeners
who attend the concerts which it is pro-
posed to give.
Outside, and at the north of the
plaza, will be the railway and trolley
station, from which it is supposed the
greater number of visitors will enter
the exhibition grounds. The railway
station itself will be masked by a
colonnade fanked at either end by two
colossal arches, one for those entering
the exposition, and the other for those
leaving it. This colonnade will bound
the plaza on the north. 1t will be sur
rounded by trellis which it is pro-
posed to cover with vines of various
sorts.
The west side of the plaza will be
bounded by a building which is to serve
as a large restaurant. The public will
pass through the lower arches of this
building, which will be open, in order to
reach that portion of the. exposition
which is to be called Vanity Fair, and
which will correspond with the Midway
Plaisance at Chicago. The restaurant
building itself is to be two stories high
and $50 feet long.

the seed will be loose. Dip them into
the warm water and agitate a few
minutes, getting the entire bulk
soaked; take out the bag and hang
on the hook (E) of lever (D) and dip
into the large vessel (B), under which
live fire should be burning, the wa
ter being between 13O and 1877 degrees
Fahrenheit. The lever is operated so
as to avoid close contact with the hot
water Or smoke of the fire. Let the
bag of oats stay in the hot water from
five to six minutes, pressing the lever
up and down. Take out and place in
another vessel CO. which contains cold
water; after cooling SOW the seed and
the smut trouble is avoided for at
least three years if the work has been
properly done.
The hot water kills every spore and
puts the seed in good shape for quick
termination. The cost of the process
will be about 20 cents per acre. The
vessels A and may be ordinary laun-
dry tubs or halves of barrels, being
large enough to immerse the bulk
oats introduced into them. The hot
water vessel should be strong and
rigid; an iron kettle is often used for
the purpose. A sheet iron vat or bar
rel may be purchased of tank manu-
facturers at a reasonable price.
Sow the oats Immediately after be-
ing treated. No serious results will
follow if the water is of higher tenn
perature, but the degrees given are
about right. There is no danger of
injuring the terminating power of the

THE VICE OF SHYING. .
Why 1T %Is So Difficult to Break Many
Horses of This EVIL and DAM
gerOus 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 it is so
difficult to break them of this evil and
dangerous habit, says Wallace's
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 it's speed the
horse would be almost as defenseless as
a sheep. It must depend on its legs for
safety, and its eye and ear to warn it of
danger. Its eyes are so placed that il
can see on each side and can turn it's
ears in all directions, so as to catch the
slightest sound. When a wolf is seen or
the sound of wolf heard, or a snake
trailing through the long grass, it was
ready for flight, and that habit through
all the generations still con ntinues and is
strongest in the horse nearest to the
original wild type and weakest in
horses of the draft type, out of which it
has been almost entirely bred. The horse
seldom fears any object unless it ap-
pears suddenly; therefore, the way to
break horse Of shying is not to whip it
when it 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
it anyway. The only reasona bic way to
break horse of this habit is to require
it to stop, whenever it SHES, 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.

NEW VESSELS FOR NAVY.
Stxty-One Warships Under Con.
structiOn or in the Hands Of
the Designers,

There never has been so much naval
work in progress or being planned as
at present. Chief Constructor Hich-
born said there were under construc
tion or in the hands of the DESIGNERS
81 vessels, II of which were battleships.
The contracts for the Denver class of
cruisers will be signed in a day or two.
They were being examined previous to
approval. The designs for the three
battleships and the three armored
cruisers of heavy draft have not vet
been touched. The board of construc
ton has failed to complete the general
characteristics, and even the battery
for the two types has not been set
tied. Until this is done no progress
can be made toward designing the
ships or drawing up the specifications.
1t will take at least six months to nre-
pare the designs after the experts have
decided upon the features and the dis
tribution of weights.

The Garden Pharmacy.

The farmers garden should be not
only his larder, but his pharmacy as
we'll. It can be made to grow his food.
It may be made to grow his medicines
also. Perhaps it is better to say that,
in growing the farmers food, the gar
den may be made to produce food that
shall make medicine an unnecessary
thing in his family. This may be done
by growing vegetables and fruits that
are distinctly health-preserving as
we'll as nourishing. It is hardly pos
sible to find a garden vegetable that is
inimical to the consumer, although one
person may not like or be benefited by
one or another vegetable that is pleas
ant and beneficial to another,-Farm.

and the horticultural embellishments of
both grounds and buildings will be one
of the greatest attractions of the ex-
position.
Besides the great display of flowers
on the grounds and about the lakes and
courts and upon the islands there will
be acres of flowers in the inner courts
of the main buildings, for those struc
lures will be cloistered and in the inner
courts will be turned over to Mr.. C!rich
for establishment.
In the construction of the buildings
the plans prepared call for the Spanish
style of architecture to great extent,
and models of the mission buildings of
Mexico and California will be repro
duced to such an extent as is practic-
able for exposition purposes.
The machinery and transportation
building, 500 by $50 feet, will face on
the Mall. 1t is designed in type Of
Spanish renaissance, with the initial in
spiration in the mission buildings
found in Mexico and California, supple
mented by later examinations of re-
raissance work in Spain, modified to
suit the conditions of the exposition
with its gay and festive surroundings.
Briefly stated, the machinery and
transportation buildings will form a
hollow square, with arcades On all sides.
In the interior will be court 10Ox2OO
feet, adorned by long pool of water,
with a fountain surrounded with
shrubs and flowers, artistically plant
ed. This sheet of water, with its calm
reflection and its atmosphere of quiet
restfulness, will form one of the many
