Lucky DAYS.

The belief in the special luck. bad
Or good, attaching to certain days of
the week Is as old as the hills. Some
great men have believed that particu-
lar days of the month are specially
propitious to them. Napoleon's day
was March 20; Cromwell's was Sep.
TENDER 81 the great emperor Charles
V. was his star in the ascendant on
February "a; and so with others.
But the belief in specially lucky DAYS
OF the week has been much more gen
eral than that in certain days of the
month. The mighty and the humble
the civilized and the barbarous, have
alike shared in this belief. Louis
XIII. "f France set store by Friday.
and when he lay dying on a Thursday
yainly lOnged for few more hours
of life. which might have brought him
to his lucky Friday. Pope Sixtus Y.
had special regard for Wednesday.
Other great men have liked or feared
this or that day. Many humber peo>
pie share the same feeling, and prob
ably every day of the week has its
votaries. Even Friday, which Is
much more associated in the popular
mind with ill-luck than with good for
tune, is lucky day to some good

OUR EQUINE FRIENDS.
~ n Man Who Had Consider
able Experience.

My weanling colts had never been
handled, and having run with their
dams until midwinter, were wild as
deer. TO secure them until they be-
came quiet enough to be halted was
the problem. Take about 80 feet Of
half-inch rope; knot one end, SO there
will be no danger of it's being pulled
out Of your hand by the plunging Of the
colt. On the other end fasten IA
inch halter ring, then tie knot in the
rope, leaving enough beyond it to en-
circle the colts neck when drawn taut.
The knot prevents choking. Now tie
the end of the rope to the ring and y on
are ready.
Bunch the horses by throwing out
some feed in a large yard. Have an
assistant hold one end of the rope.
BY moving carefully, you can soon
moose the colt. Let him circle around
until we'll tired out, before going up to
his head. AS soon as possible, take
two half bitches, as shown in the left
hand figure, around his nose; take the
bend of the lower hitch, pass it under

Gluten Feed with Grain,

At the Cornell university expert
ment station, test was made of the
comparative feeding values of ground
wheat and cornmeal, and also of mix
ture consisting of 26 pounds of gluten
feed and 100 pounds of cornmeal. The
gluten feed and cornmeal mixture was
prepared SO as to have the same nu-
tritive ratio as ground wheat. To each
of the three lots of animals skim milk
was fed alike. The results of the ex-
pertinent are reported in bulletin No.
50. Wheat alone made somewhat
better showing than cornmeal. "The
cornmeal lot consumed the least food
and made the least growth, while the
mixed corn and gluten meal gave the
greatest gain and produced cheaper
pork than ground wheat" The ex-
pertinent showed that neither wheat
nor corr, when fed alone, produced the
best results.

HANDY COLT HALTER.

che otherfrom the top downward, then
up over the ears, loosening the rope
inland as yougo. An excellent halter,
capable of holding anything, is thus
formed, as the right-hand figure shows.
If, after being driven around for some
time he proves stubborn and will not
follow, take piece of clothesline,
double it, tie knot on the double
end, leaving enough rope to slip down
over his hind quarters almost to the
hooks (the knot remaining over his
coupling), run the two free ends-one
on each side OF his neck-through the
halter, and on feeling the pull behind
he will move. Never strike him, and
as soon as he yields little, pet him.
If the dams are worked, the best way
is to slip on halter when the colt is
only few days old, and tie alongside
the mother: but if still unbroken, when
there is lots of snow on the ground is
good time to work with the DAMS
as the colt is not liable to hurt when 1T

To think that there was such thing as

and the other royalties consented to
recognize both the prince and the
princess as royal personages, and the
Jewish-American princess found
herself the only American girl who
had been recognized at the courts OF
St. James, the quirinal and of Madrid

Two years ago, however, the
prince broke this faith and has been
boycotted by royalty. The boycott
he lays at the door of his wife for

MAKING CHEAP MUTTON
whx 1t Does Not Pay to Feed ! Fat
Lamb for an Uncertain Chance
Of Rise In Price. I,

A subscriber asks in somewhat dis.
couraged tone, how to produce mutt
ton at present prices with any profit.
A large part of the secret lies in the
high feeding Of young, growing an.
imals. The younger the animal the
larger the amount of gain it will make
for the food consumed. Mutton and
beef producers seem not to have
learned this SO generally as pork pro-
ducers. But it is true in greater de-
gree Of mutton than Of pork. The lamb
may be brought ito mature weight
more quickly than any other ANIMAL.
1t is too late now to figure on very
large profits from feeding last springs
lambs. The only class Of lambs that
it will pay to feed through the entire
winter is Merinos that will yield eight
pounds of washed or ten pounds of
unwashed wool. They develop slower
than the mutton bre edsand the growth
OF wool will almost pay for the feed
needed to keep them growing nicely
and they may be rapidly finished upon
the fresh pasture of May.
But it will take more than half the
feed to grow pure-bred muttonl lamb
to 70 pounds at five months old than
it will to make him weight 80 at ten
months. Lambs withstrongly marked
mutton characteristics should be mar
keted before they are six months old.
There is sometimes profit in buying
this class of lambs at seven or eight
months of age cent less per pound
than they will bring when finished for
market, and then pushing them to the
finish as rapidly as possible. This
should be done in 30 or 100 days. A
lamb that has once got poor will not
make nancy for either grower or
feeder.
Another element figuring largely in
determining the measure of profits is
selling when the lambs nre finished.
1t does not pay to feed a fat lamb for
an uncertain chance Of rise in price.
The altogether best rule is to get your
lambs ready for the market in the
shortest possible time and let them 60.
If I had flock of lambs now that
were not fat I should hold them over
on light grein feeding and finish on
grass. Corn alone is the grain for fat
tening, with clover hay for roughage:
with other hay or fodder, add oil meal
or cotton seed meal.-H. P. Miller, in
Ohio Farmer.

AN AMERICAN PRINCESS.
Father Was Formerly q New
Orleans Banker.

The divorce instituted some time
ago by the princess of Monaco
against the prince is still pending
and again is being preached the les
son of the American girl who sold
her birthright and her freedom for
q title, one, by the way, now held in
disgrace by all other foreign rulers
because it's owner broke faith, one
given thought only in connection
with the gaming table and broken
promises. The story of the princess
Of Monaco since she left America is
one which has been told many times
and which is now being rehearsed to
be told in the courts of divorce.
That she has taken this step for her
freedom is not matter of surprise
to those who have come in contact
with the prince. The matter OF
surprise lies in the fact that she has
not sought legal separation long
ago, says Paris report.
The princess was Miss Mary Alice
Heine, daughter of Michael Heine, q
rich banker of New Orleans, who
later transferred his interests to
this city. However, this made the
daughter none the less American
born. The history of her first ro-
nance is not recorded, but the ia
Their and daughter sought titled
marriage for the latter when they
removed to Paris. They succeeded
in gaining their desires, for the
daughter became the bride OF the
French duke of Richelieu, of Alquil-
lon and of Fronza.
That was some "a years ago and
some five or six years later the hus-
band died. The life of the duchess
had been a rather unheard of exist
ence until she claimed distinction by
marrying the profligate prince OF
Monaco. It is true that according to
ranking the prince was something
more than an ordinary noblcman and
this no doubt held snares for the
American girl, already bearing
title.
The duchess wore wondrously
beautiful gowns-creations which at
once excited admiration or astonish-
ment. The prince wooed and the
prince won in remarkably short
time. In fact, she had ceased to dis
guise her intentions, so says the
story. Then there came time
when she wished broader fields to
conquer. The banking house OF
Heine was pouring gold in her COT
fers and she caused the prince to
make the announcement to the other
reigning sovereigns that he would
no longef derive benefits from SO lg-
noble source as the gambling dens

wheat \. a Hoe Food.

Results obtained at the Wisconsin
experiment station show that there is
practically no difference in the quanti-
ty of pork produced from the same
weight of wheat or corn. In four trials
an average of 499 pounds of ground
wheat were required to produce 100
pounds of gain in live weight. In two
trials with corn meal 49s pounds were
required to produce 100 pounds OF gain.
When mixture of equal parts Of
wheat and corn was fed, better results
were obtained than when eitherwheat
or corn was fed alone. It required 4s5
pounds of mixed wheat and corn, half
and half, by weight, to produce 100
pounds of gain in live weight.

EPILEPSY IN HOGS.
This Disease, Commonly known as
Blind StnEEcrs, Readily Yields
to Cnrc full Treatment.

Blind staggers, or, in medical par.
lance, epilepsy, in pigs, is quite COM
mon. 1t may be the effect of various
causes. In whatever way brought on,
the condition indicates imperfect nu-
triton of the brain and nervous sys-
tenn. This may be brought about by I'M
duly stimulating food, as constant
feeding upon cornmeal, and confine-
ment. A wet, uncomfortable bed often
leads to the disease in young pigs. A
course of two close breeding develops
this disease. The symptoms of an at
tack of epilepsy are sometimes diff
ferent in different animals. Some
times the pig stands and froths at the
mouth, then, after few moments,
staggers and falls as if in a fit. After
living awhile, it RECEIVERS and seems
in it's normal condition again, perhaps
for several days, when symptoms will
occur again, often proving fatal. Some
times the pig forces his nose into
corner of the pen and stands trem-
bling for few moments, and suddenly
darts around the pen few times and
falls motionless upon the floor. When
symptoms of staggers are developed
in small pigs they should be given a
good dry bed and ten or ~ drops of
chloride of iron twice day for a few
DAYS in their food. AS u preventive
when pigs show symptoms of disease,
withho old the food mainly and feed sui
phur and powdered charcoal for a few
days. Supplying dry, comfortable
quarters and feeding the young pigs
with good supply of milk and occa-
sionally mess of boiled faxseed will
be particularly good, as containing
large proportion of oleaginous matter.
A few cabbages, grass and oatmeal are
helpful as varied diet. AS in many
other things due regard totheir con-
dition that seems to prevent the dis
ease is better than to be obliged to
resort to the various remedies, and
then, perhaps, fail to restore the an.
imal to health.-Eastern Exchange.

COLDS DUE TO OVERCOATS.
But Few Men Realize That They Mako
Mistakes In Their Use OF
the Garment.

Physicians generally agree that over
coats are responsible for the colds
with which so many people are af1lct-
ed, and they give thoroughly scien-
tiic explanation of the fact When q
thick overcoat is worn, they say, the
warm moisture given off by the body
is prevented from escaping. 1t col
lects in the coat, vest and undercloth-
ing, thoroughly saturating them. This
is not of much consequence SO long as
the overcoat is worn, but when that is
taken off the wearer is in the position
of butter cooler surrounded by q
damp cloth. The heat of his body is
conducted away in large quantities and
he suffers a sudden and severe chill.
To this are due many colds as we'll as
lumbago, rheumatism and neuralgia.
AS a rule the overcoat is taken of
at the worst time-that is, when exer-
else has ceased. The routine for many
men is: Breakfast in a warm room; a
quick walk in heavy overcoat; ar
rival at cold and draughty office in
a state of perspiration; removal of the
overcoat and a fit Of shivers.
10 avoid theseresults severalcou
are open. First, one might advantage
ously rely for protection from the cold
on warm wooden underclothing. II
one is young and robust, it is not nee
essary to wear an overcoat at all. Then
the evaporation of moisture will go on
gradually and there will be no chill.
Another plan is to wear one heavy
walking coat and change it for light
err coat indoors. This is an ideal arr
rangement from hygienic point OF
view. But if the day is exceptionally
cold light and porous overcoat may
be safely worn.
