Fall PLANTED Trees,

There is a security of investment In
trees for fall planting, that does not at
tach to spring planted trees. In the
fall planted tree the risk is minimum;
whereas, in the tree set out in the
spring it is maximum. This has been
our observation and experience. The
tree that is planted in the fall has
three or four months to fortify itself
at the roots before nature calls on it
to pump sap to the top for new
top growth. 1t soon establishes itself
firmly. takes a vigorous root, and is in
condition to develop itself: above the
surface, at the very first call for re-
newed growth. 1t is firmly set by the
late fall and the winter rains, and If
the summer should be dry, twill not
suffer like the spring set tree that is
still unsettled and weak at the root.
In planting, we prefer one year old
trees. They do not make as much show
az first, but we venture the assertion
that one year old trees, set out lii the
fall, will surpass in growth any two
year old trees that are set the follow
ing spring. Root growth is the prime
object at first, and in no way,can it be
more surely obtained than by planting
one year old trees in the fall of the
year. A vigorous top growth is sure
to follow as the season advanceS.-The

TWO POINTERS ABOUT COATS.

"You may 60 into the goat business
and educate the reople Of the middle
West to eat goat meat" said Wiley q.
Cox. "but you will not learn from
books what my father learned from
experience" and then MIR. Cox gave
AWAY a trick Of the trade.
"The man who goes in for Angoras
will find that it is true they will jump
anything under 100 feet high and
climb q sapling. They Will get at the
neichbor's wash as sure as 1t goes
on the line, and there Will be lingerie
to pay for. But if you would be on
the safe side and keep the billy there,
turn him up and cut away the little
creepcr that you will find ut the bot
tom of the hoof. 1t will not hurt him
to lose it, but it ruins his ambition as
n mountebank. 1t will save lots OF
trouble to have a chiropodist get at the
Angora with nail trimmer"
Goat meat cannot be distinguished
from mutton ordinarily, In every car
of sheep that comes from New Mexico
there are sure to be from two to q
dozen goats In the lot They all go
to the same block at the packers and
the good wife who takes home 9onts
chops for lambs chops is never the
wiser. Nor is the butcher. A goat Is
only a goat when he Las his pelt on.
After that he is sheep-Kansas City

Bricks from GInss Dust.

Many Of the most interesting chap.
ters of Industrial history are those
which tell the story of the utilization
of waste products, says the Westmin-
ster Gazette. Another notable one has
just been added to the list of such dis
coveries. In the glass trade there Is
an enormous waste amounting to
thousands Of tons every week, of the
mixture of glass dust and sand, re-
sulting from grinding glass plate to a
smooth surface. This material, it has
now been discovered, can be so treat
ed as to make excellent bricks and
one of the largest firms in the glass
trade, whose waste in tons runs t ;, over
four figures week, has already laid
down a special plant for turning out
the new material. SO that we may all
be living in glass houses at some fu.
ture date.

Loss Sal. In the Rutter.

Too much salt is used by many but
ter-makcrs. The whole tendency
among consumers is toward fresher
butter. In England and on the con.
tinent butter is made in those coun.
tries is served particularly fresh and
white. In the best restaurants and
hotels in the larger cities in this coun-
try the butter contains very little salt.
A great number of Americans who SO
abroad, or who patronize city hotels
and restaurants in their own country,
are acquiring the taste for fresh blt-
ter. The fancy dairies that command
: extravagant prices put out product
that is almost fresh.r Creameries that
are catering to the highest class groc
ers and best family trade, now use
only half rs much salt as they did
five or 10 years ago.
This point is worthy of more general
consideration by dairymen and cream
cry men everywhere. The quality Of
salt is also important but the leading
brands are now quite aOove reproach
in this respect. or course the salt
manufacturer favors the largest pos
sihle use. of salt but the dairyman's
chief object should be quality rather
than quantity in salt. The large ex
port tr-..e in butter. particularly in
England and the continent will never
be built up until the peculiarities OF
that market regarding reduced quan-
tity of salt u, butter are catered to.

Winter Care of Colts.

After weaving, young colts should be
given special care during the first
winter. If they are. neglected it Will
be very difficult to make up for this
afterward even with the best Of care.
Put the colts in n box stall. Two or
more can be kept together loose in
one stall if it is large enough to give
them chance to walk around little.
In the winter especially the box stall
should be. as we'll lighted as possible,
for the colts will not thrive in dark
place. Never confine them to stall
tied up for any length Of time, as it
will weaken their joints. Their feet
may be deformed if they do hot get
the necessary amount OF exercise
while young and growing.
Feed colts literally, give all the gooa
hay they will eat up clean. Water at
least twice a day, or better three
times. Tile grain feed should c,nsist
principally of oats. which should be
fed three times day. Let the morn
ing feed consist Of equal parts of oats
and bran made into mash by scald-
ing with hot water, and let it stand
until lukewarm before giving to the
colts. 1t two pounds of carrots or
mangels can be sliced very thin SO
there will be no danger of. choking,
and given to each colt daily, it Will
aid digestion and keep the bowels in
good order by preventing constipation.
If colts refuse to eat roots at first,
| mix with little ground feed. A
spoonful of sugar will prove irresis-
tible il sprinkled over the roots.
When the weather is good and not
very cold, the colts should be let out
into a yard one or two hours daily
for exercise. In cold weather keep
them in. Gro6m daily Whether they
look clean or not, but handle gently
so they do not get scared. Break to
use of halter and take up feet once In
u while so they will become accus-
toned to handling.-American Agri''

Ito peaeh cnltlrators.

Those who grow peaches SHOULD
keep a continued lookout for indica-
tions of the yellows. A premature
ripening of the fruit is one of the
first symptoms, though the lack o.
flavor in the peach should. enable one
to detect the disease if he IL familiar
with the variety But when the little
yellow looking sprouts and punches
of leaves seem to break out through
the bark at places where no branches
should be expected, then it is a sure
thing that the tree has the yellows,
and the sooner it is disposed of the
better for the rest of the orchard. Cut
it down or dig it out root and branch,
taking care not to touch another tree
with it while doing so, or while carry
ing it out. Then as soon as dry
enough burn it. Do not let even the
smoke of the burning blow toward the
other peach trees, and do not set an
other tree near the spot whera thi7
condemned tree stood.

Russia would have to face ~in her

able, the resources of, that part Of the
country behing exhausted.
Russia's difficulty of maintaining an
army of ten times that size would be
great in either that city or Kabul,
whose inhabitants are half starved.
The requirements OF a Russian army,
according to Col. Hanna, would be for
10000 men at least 100000 tons,
and it is unlikely that's any General
would enter on an Indian. invasi

supplies. Skobeloff had two and a
half months for use against the
Turkomans, and we had six months
in the Afghan war. A three months
supply would mean 100000 tons to
carry, for which something like 500,-
600 camels would be. required equal
to the cargo Of forty large. steamers"
If she could get all these animals,
how would they be fed among the
mountains and fruitless deserts which
intervene between Afgharistan and
British India?
Russia has no intention of invading
India at present; she is too much oc-
cupied with her railway to Port Ar

will take years yet. Her invasion Of
India would be a fish not worth the

ART OF BREATHING PROPERLY.
Few People Understand tkH philosophy
OF Respiration.

Few People Understand tkH Philosophy
OF Respiration.
"It may seem strange enough" said
q doctor the other day, "but really
over 90 per cent. Of the population do
not know how to breathe. Nature
kindly enough adapts herself to i'm
perfect methods or respiration, as She
adapts herself to the unnatural quail
ties of tea, coffee or alcohol a man
floods his system with during his life
time, but all the same she does not
approve. Why, one of the first things
an actor or Il singer has to do is to
begin to learn to breathe before they
can learn how to produce the voice
properly. The first point is to fill the
lungs. Very few people take the
trouble to do that. AS rule
they distend them until the lungs are
about three-quarters full and then
they stop, leaving the base Of the
lungs unemployed. and naturally
ready for any mischief like most idle
things or persons.
IF people would only take the
trouble to breathe properly consump-
tion would no longer he heard Of.
Why is exercise so beneficial? Simply
because in running, rowing or cycling
people are obliged to fill their lungs
to their utmost capacity to breathe
in short, as nature meant them to
breathe. I have frequently recon-
mended those whose business will not
permit of any outdoor exercise to prac-
tice breathing for an hour in the r!oIn-
ing and at night; exercise is not
necessity-breathing properly is. How
to go about it: Watch an infant lying
on it's back if you want to see breath
ing done as it ought to be; or Il you
have got out of the habit Of proper
respiration, one Of the first points to
remember in learning to breathe is to
keep your shoulders down; they are
inclined to go up before the lungs are
filled. Another part is to get control
over your lungs uil lHeIu SioWly, lying
OH your back Of possible and feeling
them fill; then empty them at will
sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly.
Unless the mind has control of the
muscles which distcnd and empty the
lungs, then it is no use trying to
breathe. An hours practice daily will
do you more good than all the gym
nasiums in the world. Yes. breathing
is undoubtedly lost art, If we are to
remain a healthy nation, it must be
ecovered.-Boston Transcript.

How General Summon Rebuked West
Point Lieutenant.
An incident happened on the day of
the surrender of Santiago which was
amusing, and. showed the importance
that young West Pointers feel when
they first wear a suit of the blue after
discarding the cadet gray. A young
second lieutenant, who had been grad
uated from the first class couple of
months before the regular graduation
at West Point. had just Joined bis
regiment and was walking down the
street near the palace. He stopped on
the corner, and as he did SO IN old
grizzled soldier with g. growth Of
beard on his face and with cavalry
sergeant's stripe on his breeches, a
blue shirt and campaign hat, but with
no other mark of rank about his uns-
form except his sergeant's stripe,
walked slowly down and stopped in
front of the lieutenant, looking around
at the different buildings. The young
officer 6dgeted a few moments under
the manner in which the trooper ignor-
ed his proximity, and finally turned
on him and slid, sharply: Here, you
man, did any one ever teach you how
to saluteT'
Eyes, sir" drawled the trooper, as he
glanced at the youngster.
"Well. knock your heels together"
said the young officer, and the trooper

troopers gauntlet came to the rim Of
his hat and stayed there until the
young lieutenant answered it, at the
same time demanding: Now, remem-
Der this, and don't let it happen again.
What is. your name, and what do you
belong top
Without, relaxing his position from
attention the old trooper again re-
spectfully saluted and remarked dryly:
"My name is Samuel Sumner, and I'm

gade,". whereupon the young lieuten-
ant proceeded to copy as many colors
Of the rainbow with his face as was
