Kindness to Domestic Animals.

There is nothing like kindness TO
farm animals If you would make
chem docile and agreeable. You may,
at times, have to deal with unruly
and even breachy animals, and in mo-
nents of unrestrained passion you
may be tempted to treat them harsh
ly, or shall l say violently. Too often
the latter. But will this mode OF
trea tment help matters? No; [ an
swer-emphatically no. By pursuing
this course you will but engender a
refractory and unmanageable dispo-
sition in them that will still give you
more trouble. Animals, it is said,
have but little of the reasoning pow
ers given to man, but are guided by
instinct, and you should make all al
lowances for this natural impulse in
them. You can readily tell what
kind of master horse has from his
qualities. If your animals show any
signs of disquietude, either from for
mer harsh treatment or inherent i'm
pulse, you should at, once set about
the task of retaining them by kind
and gentle means. From actual ex-
perience l know that one will feel
much better by adopting the plan of
treating the animals kindly, not to
mention the improvement that will
be observed in them.-F. M. Beverly,
in Epitomist.

Farm Exhaustion.

Did you never notice to what ex-
tent the properties of the soil that
go to make up the supply Of plant
food, become exhausted? The ex-
hausting agencies seem in a great
measure to be controlled by those in
charge Of the farms. There is no.
ticeable difference in this respect be-
tween the methods of farmers; some
will feed the farm, in natural and
seemingly unstudied matter, while
others will literally starve 1t out, till
it will not sprout peas. OF course,
this aptness, or instructive propensi-
ty, among the better class of farm
ers, is more or less gift; but close
study and application in this direc-
ton will work wonders. The would
be successful farmer must study his
lands; observe the various changes
wrought over them through the op-
Grafton of tilling and grazing, and
he will soon learn by experience to
counteract the agencies that impover-
ish his acres, and render them unpro-
ductive. Let your motto be study and
learn.-F. NJ. Beverly, in Epitomist.

BE PROGRESSIVE.
The Farmer of To-Day Must BE Pro-
gressive If He Would Achieve
Success.

The farmer should endeavor to
make some progress in one line or an
other as long as he farms. He can not
afford to patronize every agent that
comes along or invest largely in
new seeds; neither is it best to buy
every new implement or machine that
is brought out, but at the same time
he should be alive to his interests and
not follow along in the old ruts too
closely. Indeed the farmer should
keep his eyes open, ever on the look
out for something to better his condi-
ton, but at the same time careful
about investing his hard-earned mon
ey until he is sure of profitable ex-
penditure.
The farm home should constantly
be showing improvement in some
way; and the fertility of the farm
should be growing better all of the
time, as it may, by proper manage
ment. The policy of continually
drawing from the soil without return
ing anything to it can not long be
carried on without noticeable diminu-
ton of the products of the farm.
Some of the modern conveniences
should find their way to the farm;
and improved implements should be
purchased as required to replace the
old ones, when found that it will be
profitable to do so and the farmers
means will allow. At least one good
agricultural paper should be taken,
and if possible to do SO take three or
four and study about the farmers
methods. If rural free delivery of
mail does not reach you now, make
an effort to secure it, because it will
add so much to the enjoyment of
farm life. In my own vicinity two
rural free delivery routes have r.
Gently been established, and two
farmers at least declare they will have
nothing to do with it, not even to pick
up free copies of a daily paper thrown
out by the carrier. Are these men
progressive, think you? Why not wei
come all such benefits to the rural
community with extended hand. The
progressive farmer likes to have
good road along his farm, and will
be willing to work out his tax; yes,
and a little more too, for the sake
OF having it; and in many good
things for the farmers benefits he
will be found in the front rank, and
not near the tail end.-Cor. Epito-
mist.

WE ARE HEALTHIER.
A Conclusion That II Based ON the
Death Statistics of the Last
Census.

A branch of the census of 1900 is
the vital statistics department which
was intendedto show the ordinary
conditions of health in various local..
ties. 1t has for the general reading
public the merit of showing the ad-
vance in medical science in the Unit
ed States during period oftenyears,
the number of deaths being taken on
the basis of 100000 of population in
the two years of 1890 and 1900.
By these figures it is shown that
medical science has made marked adj
vances in the United States, says an
eastern exchange. The most conspic-
uous Of these, perhaps, is in the case
of diphtheria which, since the use of
antitoxin, shows a decrease in the
death rate of from 70 per hundred
thousand to 35-one-half.
In Group the reduction in the deatl,
rate is from 27.o6 to 9.s per hundred
thousand in typhoid fever from 46
to 33, in diarrhoeal diseases from "a
to 35, brain diseases from 80 to is,
bronchitis from "a to 4s, cholera in
fantum from 70 to AZ, malarial fever
from 10 to 8, whooping cough from
Is to IL, commissions from Sc to 80,
and scarlet fever from 10 to II.
On the other hand there are, as the
figures show, some ailments which
have increased, notwithstanding the
exercise of increasing medical skill.
Appendicitis, not separately reported
in 1890, showed death rate in 1900
of 10, cancer increased from Al to 60,
apoplexy from 40 to Sc, diabetes from
to 9, and kidney diseases from SO
to SO.
Many of these changes are ascribed
to changed conditions of life, diet,
and mental activity which are not
within the power of medical science
to control, but the conclusion, based
on all the figures, is that the general
health of the people of the country is
improving, as is evidenced by the
fact that the deaths from old age, A
per hundred thousand in 1890 were
81 in 1900.

DEMAND FOR SADDLE HORSES.
The AutOmo bile Ha. MT Vet Affected
the Demand for Good Sad
die Horses.

One of the most favorable signs of
.ne season is the tremendous demand
mat exists in all the large American
.narkets for saddle horses of both
Ainos-bo'h the so-called gated Ken
lucky kind and the walk-trot-cantcr
KIND. Prices are hardly any criterion
IN This case. The rich man pays from
s!'ooo to $4,000 or more for what suits
MN OF either sort, the poor man buys
the morse that is either able or is sup
posed to be able to Saddle" and
thereby lease his palms," The fact
is that the supply of really finished
SADDLE horses of any sort is woefnlly
snort. All the dealers with reputa-
tons for furnishing finished perform
ers are overrun with orders. Hark
pack few weeks and see what lap
pened at Durlands on the opening day
OF summer. Orders for saddle horses
TO buy outright, to lease by the sea-
Son and to rent for the day broke
all records and totaled someth ny
over 670-a most astonishing record
considering the craze for automo-
plies OF the racing type that exists at
present and did then among the
wealthy young men and women of
Gotham. The polo-playing set in
New York, inspired thereto by the
trip OF their adopts to London, where
an unsuccessful attempt was made to
wrest the international cup from the
BRITISH in series of matches two-in-
three, has been doing much mission
airy work in the swell set of New
York, and it is only reasonable to sup
pose that much good has been done
thereby. The very fact that the Brit
1sh ponies, when it came to the pinch,
reached all around the American,
though almost equaled by them in
the first game, has drawn the atten-
tion of various breeders to the sub
]ect of producing small racing horses
capable of staying and going very
fast pace. This spirit seems to have
permeated the entire United States, so
far as it's larger cities are concerned,
and to-day very many more young
men in such cities are DESTROYS of ac-
quiring the art of sitting on fast.
going horse than at any time in the
history of the nation. The result is
that a great number of young men
who can not be cailed wealthy, and
many more who lay some claim to
that distinction, are daily practicing
the art of horsemanship with the re-
suit as already stated that the de-
mand for saddlers is more keen than
so far has been recorded in the his
tory of horse exchange in the United
States. No more manly exercise
could be INDUCED in. The so-called
gated horse, no matter if he can only
raise rather mean sort of hobble in
lieu of the true saddle gaits, is in ire
mcndous demand, and any one who
does not believe this statement ought
to do one of two things-to be con-
vinced-either to journey down any
favorite bride path in some park in
great American city, or to attend
daily auction when it has been an
nounced that a consignment of "Ken-
lucky and other saddlers" will be dis
posed of to the highest bidder

frmed by their health, strength and
energy. They are Industrious, but
who ever heard Of Germans denying
themselves rational recreat4an or So
cial pleasures? It would be well for
American farmers to initiate their
German neighbors in more ways than
one. One reason why German farm
ers prosper is that they are practical
and rational economists. They know
they can get more for their money
by paying cash for what they buy
than by having their purchases
charged. Hence they rarely go in
debt, but easily make one dollar go as
far as the credit farmers SIPS. Ger
mans are economists in avoiding
waste. The truth that "a penny saved
is penny made" they apply general
ly, allowing nothing to go to waste
that can be put to use. American
farmers are said to be the most
wasteful class in the world. We have
heard the remark that "a German can
live on what an American wastes" In
many cases this is not only true, but
the German will live better than the
American. Waste pervades every de-
partment of the American farm.
There is waste in feeding the farm
stock, both by improper methods and
deficient knowledge of the proprieties
of the various feed stuffs. The ma
nure is wasted by exposure to sun
shine and rain. The wood ashes are
dumped in pile in the back yard in
stead of being applied to the soil.
There is a waste in planting by not
testing the seed so as to know pre-
cisely how much to SOW. Often a lot
of worthless dogs are kept to eat the
food that would keep similar num-
Der of pigs. Fodder and grass are
permitted to dry up in the field to be
cut and piled and burned to get them
out of the way of the pillow, but would
have wintered several head of cattle
besides the pillow teams. Farm tools
are out in the weather, to shrink, rot
and fall to pieces, which with proper
care would last for many years. Time
and temper and labor are wasted by
inconvenient arrangement. Often the
stable, COW lot, draw-bars, well, fowl
house, garden, ETC., are so arranged
as to uselessly consume time and Ia
Dor in the performance of daily home
and farm duties. This is peculiarly
an American accomplishment. which
the German farmer with all his YER
satility has not acquired-Te1as
