TRAINING THE COLTS.
vocates adoption of n Sort OF
kindergarten System.


DR.. Curryer, of Minnesota, is one Of
the soundest authorities in the west
on practical horse breeding. In q re-
cent talk he said he was a believer in
something of the nature of kinder
garten for young colts. He liked to
begin the education of the colt when
not more than day old.
First catch the colt and hold him by
putting one arm in front and one back
of him. The pivotal point of action is
the center of the body; fasten him in
front and he tries TO GO backward.
Fasten him at the rear and he tries
TO go forward. We should understand
this law, which is part Of the nature
of the colt, when we try to govern him.
You can easily hold the colt if you
place one arm under the neck and the
other under the ham. Handle the colt
first on one side, then on the other,
and give him a lump of sugar. He may
not eat ii at first, but pass it around
his mouth and he will soon learn to
like it.
You have now shown the colt your
power over him, and that you do not
wish TO hurt him. Next give him a
lesson in the use of the halter. If you
put the halter on him and pull he goes
back To counterfeit this, place
strap around his body just in front of
his hind legs. Attach rope to this
and run it through ring in the halter.
When the colt goes back, pull him up
to you, then give him some sugar.
When you are able to handle the
colt well with the halter, give him
some lessons in driving. Let the old
horse teach the colts their first lesson.
and to do this I take pair of old
carriage wheels on an axle. To these
are clipped two wooden bars, IA feet
long, about two feet from the ends;
1.-THE longest ends, extending in front,
make the thills for the old horse. A
crossbar is placed just in front of the
wheels, extending out far enough to
hitch the colts on either side of the
old horse. The colts are hitched to
light bars placed in front Of he horse,
with ropes arranged at the sides to
keep the colts in place. They soon
learn from the old horse what to do
and they get used to hearing the
wheels roll behind them, so that they
are not afraid when hitched to a
wagon.

HELPFUL HORSE NOTES.

Rough usage and neglect will never
make hardy horse.
The colt must be kept growing thrift
ily from the start if you want fine
horse.
Use plenty OF plaster around the
stables to absorb the odors and am
monia.
!. some say that "feed is above breed"
but we say, the game is lost without a
combination of the two.
Put screens in the windows and
doors to keep the flies out Of the
stables. 1t will save feed and flesh.
Do not let the feet of the road or
work horses get hard and dry during
the dry weather. Avoid hoof lotions.
Water is best and safest and is ma
tural.
Examine the teeth of all the horses
now. young and old. II the teeth are
sharp have them tloated. If YOU find a
horse holding a wad OF hay in the side
of his mouth have his teeth attended 10
at once. 1t is a sure sign that they are
sharp.-Farm Journal

PORTABLE PASTURE FENCE.

portable fence, but l invented one
myself some 20 years ago, which gives
moderate satisfaction.
The cut gives an idea of it. This
fence is self-supporting, without
posts, by driving a stake at about
every third panel. The fence is made
in the shop in panels, the boards be-
ing nailed to two by four or two by
two pieces of hard wood, which are
beveled at the top so as to give the
proper slope to the panels, which are
made to slope alternately toward
each other. The fence is supported
by three short boards nailed across
the uprights at the notch, and of
course, when it is moved these must
be knocked off; but, even if they
should be spoiled so that they can
not be used again, it takes but lit
tie lumber to replace them. / have
a line of this fence which has stood
20 years without repairs, but it has
not been moved in that time. l
think that two men could take down
and move a short distance and set
up 40 rods or more of this fence in a
day.-Cincinnat Commercial Tribune.

PORTABLE FARM FENCE,
The One Here Described md Hits
trated Has Been in Actual Use
for Many Years.

The best way to feed cattle when
on pasture is to give one feed of corn
a day, always feeding at the same
time, and L prefer that it should be
in the evening. 1t is best TO give
them what they will eat clean only:
probably they will eat peck each
per day, but | would begin with less
and gradually increase. To fully
utilize the corn, hogs should follow
the cattle always, and if any soiled
corn is left in the box always throw
it out when feeding and give them
lighter feed the next time. l have
never seen a thoroughly satisfactory

an English author, learned reviewer
mentions his own elaborate study OF
the ears of more than 10000 people,
including 500 criminals and 1000 in
sane persons. besides those of 300
apes. He was forced to the conclusion
that the ears gave no clew to per-
sonal traits.

The first of the anti-tuberculosis

schemes i'm sheen Feeding.

The latest in sheep feeding is a
moving pen. Two or three sheep are
put in each pen, the pen being several
feet above the ground. or about on
a level with the top of the grass.
Then the pen is moved over the field
by electricity. The idea is to pre-
vent the sheep from trampling down
the high grass Wouldn't it be just
as cheap to have several hundred
sheep stand in a line on a platform
and pull the whole field under the
platform? The sheep could nibble off
the ends of the grass as the field
slid under them. Just suggestion,
of course. Don't know how it could
be done. Butchers Advocate.

Johnson AT WORK AGAIN.

Racine, Wis, July 22nd.-John John
son, of No. 924 Hamilton Street, this
,ity, is a happy man.
For years he has suffered with Kid
ney and Urinary trouble. He was so
broken down that he was forced to
quit work. Everything he tried failed,
till friend of his recommended a new
remedy-Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr..
Johnson used them, and the result sur
prised him. He is well as ever he was,
completely cured, and working away
every day.
His case is regarded by those who
knew how very bad he was, as almost
a miracle, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are
a much tell1ed of medicine.

A NARROWING EXPERIENCE.
Persons with Delicate Nerves should
Not Undertake n Visit to
RnttIesnnke Pote,

"I had rather narrowing expert
ence recently while on my vacation" ;"
said young gentleman who had just
returned from n trip to Canada, ac-
| cording to New York exchange.
Before crossing the border 1 was
in Rochester for a few days, and |
went around on one of the side
streets to Rattlesnake Pete's place.
Pete has the finest collection of
rattlesnakes to be found anywhere on
earth, and when it comes to handling
snakes he is the prince of the busi-
ness.
incidentally I may say that Pete
has sort of snake factory, where he
grinds out artificial reptiles of many
kinds and sizes, but this has nothing
to do with the experience / am about
to relate. Back of his place Pete has
a large square room for the accom-
modation of his repilian guests, and
he treats his pets handsomely. He
is very fond of his collection, and the
snakes seem to be very fond of him,
too.
He takes great pride in showing
the snakes to any stranger who drops
into his place, so he escorted me back
into the snake room when | was in
Rochester. The snakes were of all
sizes, and he had some of the finest
rattlers 1 ever saw. He had the most
of them Gagged, but | observed few
of the creepers slipping around over
the floor, and l did not feel particu-
larly comfortable about it, either.
There was a small dumpy bush in the
middle of the room, and | noticed a
big, fine rattler, partly coiled, and
the position of the snake attracted
my attention. | began to make some
inquiries about it, and Pete started
to tell about the snake, its history,
where it was caught, how long he had
had it, and all that sort of thing, and
he walked leisurely around the bush
at the same time.
Suddenly. as if by magic, the snake
sprang from the fork where it was
coiled, and wrapped itself around my
right arm. have been frightened be-
fore, but / never felt exactly like

me. 1 felt kinder like man would
feel If he should suddenly begin to
melt away into nothingness-like n
fellow passing from the perceptible
TO the imperceptible, as it were. But
Pete came to my rescue quickly, and
explained that the snake was an ar

tically, and that he had touched the
button. But l do not care about ven-
turing into another snake den soon"

The organization of a union of do.
mestic servants in Chicago is step
r,, calculatedt to strike
terror to the
hearts of women
who have already been wrestling for
years with the great problem. In
Wilkesbarre, Pa, too, and in Ciucin-
matt similar unions have been formed,
the sanguine pioneers of national
federation by which, 1t is hoped, life
i'll the kitchen can be made one long,
sweet dream. The purposes of the
Chicago association are well defined,
says report from that city. There
shall be a minimum price per week
for green help" and another for
experienced general housework"
girls. The working day is not to ex-
ceed eight hours, and all overtime
must be paid for at specified rates.
Kitchen ladies must be allowed to
entertain their friends without inter
ruption by the woman of the house,
and the equipment and general deco
rative scheme of the kitchen and
slceping-room must meet with APP
proval. At first thought all this
seems very absurd. 1t is not neces-
in any family of performing all the
housework within a period of eight
hours, or the impracticability, be.
cause of the expense, of having it
done by relays of servants. More
over, immigration provides a large
and steady supply of possible ma
terial for good servants; there are
many American girls who prefer the
security of housework to the strain
of factory or business life--a supply
which no union could diminish or
largely control: and in the last resort
mos: women can do their own house
work, and can therefore be inde-
pendent of union. Yet when all
this has been said, there is a side to
the matter which should not be over
looked The movement toward union
owes its origin in part to conditions
which are felt to be unjust and are
difficult of correction. Many serv-
ants are poorly paid and inconsider-
ately treated. Concessions are made
to them rather as privileges than as
rights, and the general attitude of
the mistress is too often one of aloof-
ness and apathy. The desire for
union is desire II force recognition
OF the personality of the individual
member, and this is most curious
circumstance, for ordinarily the very
basis of labor unions is the sinking
of personality in common cause,
the subordination of self TO the inter-
csts of others. In many occupations
this makes for success. Can it do so
in relation so personal as that of
mistress and maid?
