How to Grow and FIoweg Fine LnrU<
 Specimen Plants.
 Two sowings of seeds should he made. the first about the middle of June and the second about the middle of July. Take as many six inch pots as there are specimens required aud after draining them we'll fill to within an inch of the top with a mixture of loam and we'll decayed manure well broken up. Press 1t down rather firm ly, SOW the seed thlnly and cover with finely sifted soil Place them In a frame or under hand lights. After the seedlings are up give more air night and day.
 The plants will soon become strong enough for the first thinning to take place, which should consist of the weakest plants. In a short time a sec ond thinning will be required, leaving from five to seven of the strongest plants at regular distances over the surface of the pot.
 The plants may be allowed to grow until they have rooted well. but at the same time must not be allowed to get pot bound, as If so the stems become hard. and they will attempt to bloom. and their future growth will be check ed In consequence. At this stage they will be it to put into the pots In which they are intended to flower. This large shift Is necessary, because mignonette does not thrive well when frequently shifted. Eight and one-half or ten inch pots will be found good size for specimen plants. The pots should be perfectly drained and quite clean.
 As to soil, nothing Is better than turfy loam well decayed. This will without any addition grow the plants well. Pot them firmly and water at once. Keep the sun from them and stand the pots out of doors or In a cold frame on a cool bottom of ashes and protect from strong winds. Stake each plant firmly, and when they have grown an inch or two pinch out the top of every shoot. This will cause them down in the stem. These shoots In due time will need stopping and tying as the plants advance until they have formed the outline of good specimens. when they may be allowed to flower. At the latter part of the summer. when the plants are taken under GOV CT, they should have light, airy place in greenhouse temperature. When the plants are we'll set with bloom, give occasional waterings of weak liquid mauure

Sen BRfhInR.

A person can easily determine with one indulgence whether or not open air bathing Is hurtful to him. If cir culation Is speedily restored after he has left the water, If his skin is well reddened and he Is soon well warmed up and as strong and ''lively" as when he took his first plunge, then he may properly assume that his bath has done him good. If, on the other hand, his skin continues cold and clammy for 15 or 20 minutes, notwithstanding the brisk rubbing he gives himself, and for an hour or more afterward he Is weak, dull and languid, then he may be toler- ably certain that there Is something wrong with him which forbids cold bathing

Remarkable Crossbred Apples.

What Is regarded as an epoch mak- ing event In the pomology of the Unit ed States is the recent crossing of the Newtown Pippin, one of the finest of American apples, with Rhode Island Greening, Northern Spy and Russet. All of these crosses have proved to be long keepers, and this, In combination with other excellences of quality, size and attractive appearance, makes their future matter to be watched with eager interest by apple growers. These apples are the work of Mir. Underhill, a Hudson river grower, who recently ex- hibited and gave an account of them before the New York Horticultural so- ciety.

PORTABLE PASTURE FENCE.

portable fence, but I 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 q 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 Y
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, wen if they
should be spoiled SO hat they can
not be used again, it takes but lit
tie lumber to replace them. / have

90 years without repairs, but it has
not been moved in that time. /

and move a short distance and set

day.-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune

of note who approached. Upon the
presidents left stood Mr.. C%ortelyou.
1t was shortly after 4 p. m. when n
Of the throng which surrounded the
presidential party, u medium sized
man, Of ordinary appearance and
plainly dressed in black, approached
as IL to greet the president. Both Sec
retary Cortelyou and President Milburn
noticed that the mans hand was
swathed in a bandage or handkerchief.
Reports of bystanders differ rs to
which hand. He worked his way amid
the stream of people up to the edge of
the dais until he was within two feet Of
the president.
President Mckinley smiled, bowed
and extended his hand in that spirit of
genialty the American people so well
know, when suddenly the sharp crack
OF a revolver rang out loud and clear
above the hum of voices, the shutting
OF feet and vibrating waves Of applause
that ever and anon swept here and
there over the assemblage.
An Awful silence.
There was an Instant of almost COM
plete silence. The president stood stock
still, a look OF hesitancy, almost of be-
wilaerment on his face. Then he re-
treated a step, while a pallor began to
steal over his features. The multitude,
only partially aware hat something
serious had happened, pausedin surprise
while necks were craned and all eyes
turned as one to the rostrum where "a
great tragedy was being enacted.
Then. came II commotion. With the
leap Of a tiger three men threw them

whose duty it vas to guard against
just such q calamity as had here be-
fallen the president and the nation.
The third was a bystander, a egr
who had only an instant previously
grasped in his duaky palm the hand Of
the president. AS one man the trio
hurled themselves upon the presidents
assailant. In a twlnkling he was born
to the ground, his weapon was wrested
from his grasp and strong arms pin
toned him down.
Then the multitude which thronged
the eaitlce began to come to a realizing
sense Of the awfulness of the scene Of
which they had been witnesses. A muir

IOWA STATE HOUSE CLOSED.
Governor Shaw Sends Message of sym
pathy to President.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 7.-Crowds on
the streets have been multiplying since
the first report of the attempted aSSas-
sination of President Mckinley, and
telephones have been kept busy by
anxious people all over the city inquir-
ing for the latest news and hoping 1t
might be good news. The shock has
been felt in every walk of life, and has
brought out universal expression OF
opinion in favor of measures Of re-
straint of the anarchistic utterances
that have educated assassins and
helped to bring about this deed.
The democratic state central COM
mittee here sent a telegram OF SYM
pathy, declaring they viewed the event
with horror.
BY common consent, at the sugges-
ton of Governor Shaw, the state house
was closed as soon as the news was re-
ceived. The demonstrations on the
directs have been individual rather
han organized, and there has been no
o:aer public action. Governor Shaw
sem the following telegram to the pres
tdent;
The people of iowa stand appalled,.
You have their deepest sympathy and
their prayers for our recovery, as you
have our love. In all of which l sin
fcts ely join"
In response to a request for a state
s.ens Governor Shaw said:
1t is always sad and well nigh un-
accountable that the head of any ma
ton, under any circumstances, Or amid
any conditions, should be assassinated,
but that the president Of the United
States should be SHOT down by a pre-
tending friend in lime of peace; End In
a period of universal prosperity is sim
ply appalling. NO man in his lifetime
has been SO generally beloved
Throughout his term he has enjoyed
the respect and the confidence of all.
More than 200, 900. O0O Of the people OF
the earth are hoping through their
fears hat Mckinley may recover"

TRAINING Il COLTS.
well-known w}.tern breeder Al
vocatcs Ad9asion of a Sort Of
K~fnderSarten system.

DR.. Curryer, of Minnesota, is one OF
The soundest authorities in the west
on practical horse breeding. In a re-
cent talk he said he was a believer in
something of the nature of a kinder
garten for young colts. He liked to
begin the education of the colt when
not more than a day old.
First catch the colt and hold himfby
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 a 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 or the other,
and give him a lump of sugar. He may
not eat it 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 q
lesson in the use of the halter. Ii you
put the halter on him and pull he goes
back. To counteract this, place a
strap around his body just in front of
his hind legs. Attach a rope to this
and run it through a ring inlthe 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 tt do this l take a pair of old
carriage wheels on an axle. To these
are clipped two wooden bars, IA feet
long, about two feet from the ends;
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 the 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.

FARM N
The One Here Described and Illus-
trnted 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. It Is best to give
them what they will eat clean only;
probably they will eat a peck each
per day, but I 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
a lighter feed the next time. I have
never seen a thoroughly satisfactory

scheme. In sheep 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
n 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
tho 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 on
the ends OF the grass as the feit
aid under them. Just a suggestion.
