ger turks in that pile Of white rocks
half hidden by the weeds. or those
logs projecting in disorderly heap
from that dark hollow by the. bridge,
Or that the futtering paper may be
some terrible animal lying in wait for
him? With men the first thing when
horse shows fear is the whip; and
although it may change his thoughts,
or rather divert his thoughts from
one kind of fear to another-the fear
of punishment, the muscular strength
necessary to manage him may be just
as necessary in the latter as in the
former.
/ am speaking in behalf of women
in this article. 1t is SO common for
women and even children to drive tina.
it is only common prudence to keep
the public highway in a condition that
will insure their safety. How often
we hear, after some fearful accident,
that the horse ''never was known to
be frightened BEFORE" So what a
horse may go past one time without
showing fright is no evidence that he
can be depended upon for all future
times. 1t seems very strange to me
that these things are not taken into
serious consideration.
In driving to a neighboring town
e few days ago, my ,.orse, which most
people would call gentle. found a
great many things of which to be
afraid, and this caused me to notice
the condition of the roads more than
usual. In crossing the river bridge bs-
tween the two towns large pile of
boards ut one side of the bridge near
the middle of the river was regarded
as something terrible; but coaxing
and soothing. tones finally lured him
back to reason, and he went along,
only, however, to begin looking, on
his return, for the same fearful OBJ
ject. A ride may be good for the
health if one does not have to expend
more nervous force than he gains;
but when one must be kept in con-
slant dread of possible--or more like
probable-catastrophes from dangers
that Turk by the wayside in the shape
of slovenly and carelessly-kept road
ways, it is time little more time
and care should be bestowed upon
them. People would feel safer and the
roads look much better if the un-
slightly piles of rubbish used for re-
pairs were kept in some suitable place
until needed.-A. M. Marriott.

About creamerie..

Creameries can not prosper unless
in community where good cows
abound, and good dairyEen are as
necessary as good cows. None but
good dairymen have good cows, and
good cows have none but good dairy
men. There is another necessity
without which creameries can not
prosper, but it is rarely included in
good dairymen"-this is good farm
or dairy papers. Where creameries
exist, it is good policy for each con-
iributing dairyman, as well as the
creamery management, to encourage
by every legitimate means the circu-
lation of such papers in the COM
inunity. 1t requires intelligence to
make the butter factories go.-Farm
and Ranch.

Sows should be required to bring
two filters a year. Some hog men
claim that one litter is enough, and
that fall matched" pigs do not do
SO well as those that come in the
spring, and have all the warm wealth
er and succulent food to promote
growth. If the pigs are to have sum-
mer treatment in mid-winter, why
that is circumstance that alters the
case. But green feed can be had for
pigs anywhere in the southwest,where
fall-sown grain is grown; and then
there are artichokes, beets and sweet
potatoes they can root for, and grain,
for staple. With proper protection
against severe weather, there is little
to prevent fall pigs from growing all
most as well as those that come in
the spring. Sows should not be per-
mitted to idle away half their time
at dead expense to the owner.-

HERE AND THERE.

The farm at the insane asylum at
Bolivar, Tenn, raised the largest
sweet potatoes yet reported. some
of them weighing as much as eleven
pounds.
-Speedways and revived interest in
road racing are directly responsible
for the prevailing activity in the
horse business, and it is expected to
be permanent.
Dealers in heavy harness horses
say that with the advent of cooler
weather there is an increasing de-
mand for coach and carriage horses,
high-acting cobs and heavy teams Of
the trotting-bred variety.
Re ports from prominent farmers
in all parts of Naury county, Tenn,
indicate loss in the wheat crop of
about 20 per cent. by the hessian fly.
All early sowing is entirely ruined.
and many fields have already been
turned under.
Swine breeders are beginning to
breed for increase, selecting sows and
hoars for their ability to produce
large filters of pigs. A sow that ha-
bitua ly brings from eight to ten pigs
is certainly more valuable than one
whose limit is five to six pigs.
-Fefore asking for chicken chol-
era remedies, examine the grit and
charcoal boxes. See if they are full,
and if the grit is sharp. Indigestion
follows a scarcity of grit, and it is
often mistaken for cholera. Keep grit
and charcoal constantly before your
fowls.

that give light yields. The profitable
crops are those that give bale OF

matter how small the amount Of n.

i 8T1Sn VIE, taken soon after theft
marriage-the merry, patient little
wife, who had always believed in his
coming greatness; who had stinted
and saved that he might have the OPP
portunity to develop himself, and
who had slipped quietly away into
the Unknown Country long before
there were any signs or portents that
the world shared her convictions con-
corning her husband. The poor little
picture brought back what the great
general had been trying to put away
from him all day-the thought that
he had at last accomplished all that
she in her love had dreamed of; and
now she to whom the credit of what
ever glory he had won was due, was
not there to share it with him! The
world had never known-how could
1t know-that in the heart of the man
whom 1t delighted to honor there was
a shrine where sweet incense was al
ways burning before the image Of
the wife of his youth; an image never
supplanted by any other woman. Nor
could the world know the anguish his
unshared honors brought him.
The paper dropped from his hand un-
needed, the tumult of the street was
heard no longer as he lived over again
the two short years when the one soul
which had ever fully understood and
loved him was ever by his side. There
had not been much money in those
days, and the new book or fine photo
graph meant many petty economies
which only made each acquisition to
the little household stock more priced.
But they had been very rich in love
and happiness. When they sat togeth-
er by their cozy Preside on the long
winter evenings (they were always to-
gether) how they dreamed and planned
for a golden future when they would
wander through enchanted lands
across the sea and share the treasures
OF the ages! What drives they had
taken, too. in the mellow autumn DAYS,
over quiet country roads. gay with
foliage which We'd in its scarlet and
gold with the rich coloring of the old
Venetian painters-drives when the
whole beautiful world seemed theirs
alone, and no words were needed to ex-
press the perfect sympathy which en-
veloped them. He remembered-ah,
how he remembered-the pretty way
she had of slipping her hand into his
at such moments and lifting her sweet
eyes to his face, saying as she did SO:
isn't it lovely, beautiful world?"
To-day as he had ridden at the head
of the procession some bright autumn
leaves had fioated gently into the car
riage from an overhanging bough, and
in moment all the pomp and cere-
mony surrounding him had vanished,
and he was once more with her in the
gentian-fringed roads, the trees sway
ing above them. He felt the gentle
pressure of her hand. A question from
the distinguished man at his side had
brought him back suddenly to the ac-
