Horses for Draft.

Any horse the purpose of which is to
draw large loads, whether at the walk
or trot. may be spoken of as horse
for draft" Common usage has fixed
the term draft on horses of specified
weight and size, but there are other
classes on the market whose confor-
as the draft FORM" but which differ
from the drafter in the matter Of size
and weight and the manner of per-
forming their work. The drafter prop
er works always at a walk, while other
classes Of horses of draft type do their
work mainly at the trot.-Bul1etin

Boys on the Farm.

The boy who is in love with machin.
cry ought not to be compelled to give
up that love to remain on the farm,
So, too, there may be the boy whose
whole soul is full of music and whd
ought to think of no other profession,
or the one to whom questions of law
appeal with supreme force, or the one
to whom the practice of medicine seems
especially entfcing. So, too, there may
be the man especially adapted for sue
cess in business. The boy who lacks
energy, who is willing to be led, who
finds it too hard work to think, who is
willing to be directed may pass a life
of more compOsure working under the
direction OF another in some city call
ing.
The young men who ought to consid-
or whether they may not better remain
on the farm also fall into two classes.
In the first class comes the boy who
loves the farm. There are such boys;
there would be far more but for the
parents. 1t is surprising how many
y
parents urge, if not insist, that they
shall follow some other calling than
farming.
The second type of young men who
may well consider farm opportunities
is the bright, all round boy who may
easily become interested in anything.
This embraces the largest class Of all.
l wish 1 might impress upon the
young men belonging to these two
classes the fact that the farm offers
opportunities second to those extended
by no other calling. The chances for
the majority are better in agriculture
than in other lines. These chances do
not include the opportunity to amass
fortune, but one need only consider
the large percentage Of business fail
ures to realize that the chances in such
lines are not so great as they seem.
After all, money is not the measure
Of success, though this is a hard lesson
for humanity to learn. I can imagine

barrow, feet and 4 inches. The end
board is run into slot with cleat on
each side of each end, the same as a
tailboard on wagon box, and can be
removed at will to permit of the con-
tents of the barrow being easily
dumped. The small illustration in the
upper corner shows the construction
Of the endboard. TIE wheels are fas-
tened by a five-eighths inch iron rcd
and run on the same hub as when they
were on the binder. 1t will take but
little time to construct the barrow
shown, and if one has the material
mentioned the expense for blacksmith
ing will be small.

Dehorning Cattle.

1t is not considered advisable to de-
horn cattle in extremely cold weather.
We would avoid weather when the
thermometer registers much below the
freezing point. Adult cattle are not
affected injuriously by the operation
when 1t is properly performed with
clean instruments and in a suitable
stanchion. AS a remedial ointment use

Washing Sheen.

A correspondent of National Stock
man desires to know whether it pays
to wash sheep before shearing. That
depends entirely on the way sheep are
kept, the locality and, above all, the
established method Of handling wool in
that locality. Washing sheep does not
paw where they are housed and fed,
having a large quantity of Oil In the
fleece, and where buyers will pay for
wool according to it's condition and
shrinkage. But where sheep run cut

Linden, apolegetically, 81 thought l

''Im glad you didn't" said Max, with
a solemn countenance.
Linden never forgot the week that
followed. She mastered one difficulty
only to fall into another. Her pie
crust was like leather and her mullins
were like lead. Everything went to
the table either burned to a crisp or
else raw in the middle. There was no
limit to her ambition; but she grew
humble at last. She learned to boil
potatoes, to make tea and to scramble
eggs, but her conscience would not
permit her to serve this trustworthy
combination oftener than once each
day.
Mr.. Braddock and Max fortified
themselves each noon with a good
meal at the restaurant, otherwise it is
doubtful if they could have survived
the week. Linden ate bread and milk,
and the fruit her father was careful
to bring her. She could not touch her
own cooking. She felt that she never
wanted to see another scrambled egg.
But the longest week does not last
forever Upon her return hannah was
amazed at the warmth of Linden's
greeting, at the condition OF the
kitchen floor, and at the size of the
girls appetite.

Frozen Food.

When meat is frozen, it should be
soaked in cold water until all the frost
is extracted and then be cooked in the
usual way. If this is not done and the
frost remains in, the joint viii be found

are frozen must, when they have been
prepared for cooking, be placed for
some little time in plenty OF salted cold
water to cover them.

Italian Bees.

Italian bees are more hardy than the
native and more profitable. They are
more energetic and will gather honey
in partial droughts when natives will
do nothing. They will gather honey
from blossoms that natives will not
touch. They are stronger on the wing,
will fly more directly and swiftly and
are not SO irritable.

The Chinese consul general assisted the merchants in seeing that the visitors had a good time A ban quet of 27 courses was served on the first floor of a Mott street house. About 100 sat down to the twenty small round ta- bles.
 The edibles, queer-loolxiug and of queer names, were said to be great dainties and to have cost a fabulous amount of money While the dinner was in progress a dozen Chinamen, under the direction of Tom Lee, "the Mayor of Chinatown" !" set off fireworks in the street and from the balcony of the restaurant. As souve- nirs of the occasion the diners were pre- scented with small preserve dishes and in some favored instances with chop sticks of ivory.
