three frogs. and when the experiment
was to be made all these frogs were
hopping about the lecture room, and
the whole army of boys were hopping
after them over chairs and tables to
catch them. No wonder that during
this tumult the master did not succeed
with his experiment, and when at last

Animal. For the Fnrm.

The ideal farm COW. sheep or pig

be able TO hustle little for a living
without suffering therefrom and yet
be able % do good work. make beef or
milk In good quantities or produce

The Ideal Farm Horse.

A good pillow horse or farm horse is
n heavy but not clumsy animal and
one capable of exerting great power
and endurance In blowing or hauling.
says @. w. Knox in American Guilt
vator. At the same time the animal
must be a fair road horse. not a trotter.
but one that can get across the coun-
try roads at a moderate pace. The ami
NAL should also be a fast walker and
not slow. clumsy. mulelike creature.
Such ideal farm horses are bred now
and to be found on thousands of farms
No farmer Of any progressiveness
would think of walking behind some
of the old slow walking farm horses Of
a dozen years ago. Such an animal per-
forms about One-half the work that a
model farm horse does in a day.

Cold Frames and Hothou.e..

So great are the use and Importance
of inexpensive hothOuses and cold

tected in these until very late In the
fall, and semihardy plants can be kept
in perfect condition all winter long.
Where one raises vegetables for early
market hothouses are OF course abso-
lutte necessities. but even the ordinary
farmer needs them for his early crops.

reIesraphic Abbreviation.

Authorizations make up one of the
most important elements in the career
of the telegraph operator. Abbreviated
dispatches are often sent In five min
utes that would require half an hours
work IL transmitted In full. But there
is an operator in Pittsburg whose orlgl-
nality in inventing substitutes for good
English surprises even his workmates.
When the death of young James s.
Ayres was first sent over the wires and
the name of Mrs. BONNIE was first men
toned. one OF the local operators re-
ceived query from the Pittsburg man,

Packing Comb Homer.

In packing comb honey for market
t. is to the producers interest to face
the cases honestly, says a correspond
emit OF American Agriculturst- The
row of combs next TO the glass should
be n fair sample OF the whole case.
Do'not sell your reputation while sell
ing your honey. for you will probably
have some honey TO dispose OF in the
future. Try TO build up your reputa-
ton by dealing honestly. IL light and
dark honey are packed together in the
same case. you may get the price for
all light honey. but II the cases are
opened you will surely get paid for all
dark honey. The poor will depreciate
the good. so pack each grade separately
and face honestly.

killing Weed. with "A cuItiv.tor.

. The great secret of killing weeds
with n cultvator after they have got
a start is to run the cultivator so deep
as TO tear them out root and branch.
says S. III. Todd In National Stock
man. There has so much been said
on shallow cultivation. which is all
right IL understood. that the amateur
farmer thinks he must keep on top of
