Sby;uc Horses.

Horses often have what is called the
vice of shying-that is, of starting sud
denly at the rustic of a leaf or a piece
of paper or at the approach of any OBJ
ject to which they are not accustomed
Clearly this is the remnant of an in
stinct inherited from their wild pro-
genitors in the steppes or prairies,
where the sudden rustling Of a leaf
might indicate the presence OF a wolf,
and where everything that was
strange was therefore suspicious. 1t is
idle as well as cruel to beat a horse for
shyi1g. That only increases his alarm,
and may easily reduce him to the state
of terror in which he loses his head en-
tirely Horses in that state seem to
lose not only their heads. but their per-
eeptiYe Senses and horse in that con-
ditiou may dash headlong against a
stone wall The habit of shying when
once formed is difficult to cure. but 1t
may be almost always be prevented
BY such consistent kindEess of treat
ment as to overpower the inherited in
stinct Of instant flight from possible
danger in which the habit originates.

there is not one breed that a. ut the

Hay for Hogs

A hog likes clover or grass in the sum-
mer and a little clover or alfalfa hay
in the winter, and if properly used they
are good feeds, promoting growth. but
the Nevada experiment station has
proved that hay alone is not a cheap
food for hogs. They fed four pigs,
weighing about 40 pounds each on hay
for three weeks, and reported a shrink
age of eighty-fiye pounds in that time
Cow peas and COW pea hay are also
good, and. with the peas in. would come
much nearer being a perfect food than
clover.

FREE HOMES our WEST.
The Last Great Homestead Race TO BE
Run Next Summer.


The last and, perhaps, the greatest race
for homes ever run under government
auspices is on the card for the coming
summer. The Fort Sill country is to be
thrown open for settlement 1t lies be-
tween Texas and Oklahoma, is sixty
miles square and in the Indian tongue is
called Beautiful I.a8dm 1t is the last
of the Indian reservations of notable
size which still remains part of the
public domain and, by law passed last
June, it is to be cut up into homesteads,
as the Cherokee strip and other Indian
lands have been within recent years.
The exact date for the opening has not
yet been fixed 10y the President, who is
empowered to say the word which viii
start thousands who are eager for free
homes on a dash into the Indian country.
The entire area is not, however, to be
parceled out among the prospective set
tiers. About one-third goes to the In.
dams. Certain sections win be set apart
for public schools, government buildings
aud other purposes of the future State
OF Oklahoma, OF which this section will
form a part. There must also be sub
tracted $1,000 acres for the Fort Sill
military reservation, leaving about 1914
076 acres for settlement. Probably one
fourth of this is mineral or waste lands,
so that only about 5000 quarter sections
Of desirable land will be left for the set
tiers.
There is bound to be disappointment,
beca use the number of possible winners
when the Fort S'ill country is opened viii
be strikingly disproportionate TO the in
terest felt and to the number of entries.
1t is probable that the government viii

opening at the same time the Wichita
reservation. North of the eastern part

abou. 10000 acres. 1t is much smaller

ment has been going on there gradually
for some years. The proportion of good
land IS larger than in the Fort Sill coun-
try. Ihe reservation consists OF broad
and fertile valleys and rolling upland,
suitable 10 diversified farming. 1t is esti-
mated that 1000 white settlers may be
able TO find FARMS there after all of the
alIotments anu reservations for school
and other purposes are made.

Raise Hogs ON the Farm.

Every farmer should be hog raiser:
at least to the extent that hog prod
ucts can be consumed on the farm.
If he can do so, and nearly every one
can, he should also raise. some pigs
for market. If his farm Is large
enough he should by all means
grow and fatten enough hogs
TO fill a car, and just as soon as
they are in marketable condition send
them to the packery. On small farms
it may not be convenient to raise many
more than is necessary for home use.
But one or two, or a dozen. or twenty,
as the case may be, put in first-class

Where a farmer has a large ditch
running through his farm a slush
scraper is Indispensable. This one is
made from two inch plank, sides five
feet long, with one end patterned for
the scraper and tapered to make suita-
BILE handles, as shown in cut. The
scraper box should be four feet vide,
two feet from front to rear of box. and
one foot in depth. These dimensions
will move almost half yard of mud at
each load. and a team will pull 1t cas-

should be banded with tire iron, which
will make it more rigid and wear bet

blade out of an old drag saw blade or
suitable piece Of fiat steel. This should
be bolted and riyeted to the box and
band irons of box and made quite sharp
to cut well. The eyelets shown in IL

Scenes of : pIendor.

afternoon, The arrangements at the
White House We're satisfactory. consid-

Mrs. Mckinley endured the trying ordeal
with much composure, remaining along
