sons. In New York. which points out
that these new toys may act as moral
teachers to the young. Edison's friend
had little daughter, years old, who,
in spite of seedlings and punishments,
could not be cured of the habit of tell
ing stories
The father brought home a specially
charged doll as present for the little
girl. The child played with the doll for
a day without noticing anything differ
ent in it from other dolls; on the. morn
ing of the second day, however. the doll
made its voice heard. The little girl
gave her mother an untruthful answer
to a question which was put to her,
whereupon the doll. which was in her
arms at that moment. said solemnly:
''Little girls must never tell lies; never.
never tell lies" The little one stared
at the doll and laid it down on the car
pet. Since that time she cannot be per-
suaded to touch her plaything; but the
timely warning has cured her more ef-
fectively of her bad habit than any
whipping or scolding could do.

Industrial CONSUMPTION of Gold.

The industrial consumption of gold
in the United States in the calendar
year is estimated to have been $16,-
667 500, and in the world approxim-
lately 100000. Although the
United States led the world last year in
the PREDICTION of gold, our imports OF
the metal exceeded our exports by the
sum of $12, 1866, ,101. The stock of gold
coin in the country. including bullion
in the mints, at the close of the fiscal
year was estimated at $1,124 ,652 SIS,

A Model Cattle Stall.

The old-fashioned method OF fasten-
ing cows by means of stanchions mad
it's merits. but a chain arranged so that
it will work freely on the bent ROD
and allow the COW a certain amount OF
free movement. enough to get up and
down without trouble and to move her
head freely is better. This arrange
ment is readily secured by having an
iron, three feet or more long, fashion
ed by the blacksmith so that the ends
can be securely screwed to the side
Of the stall and leave 1t clear from
the side from end to end to the width
of about three inches.

Saved by the Ice.

In the Fishing Gazette w. Hewlett
tells the following story: Some few
years since-I think 1t was in 1891
was invited to have a few days fish
ing in the lakes at Melton Constable,
Norfolk, the seat Of the Right Hon.
Lord Hastings. My first days sport
was thirty-three good pike. the largest
eighteen pounds. Unfortunately, the
frost set in very severe and a heavy
fall of snow with it. Fishing was out
of the question, and skating became
the order Of the day. Some Of the big
ponds, several acres in extent, were
soon frozen, and the woodmen and
laborers were ordered to sweep off the
snow so that the visitors might enjoy
skating. 1 was going straight across
the park with his lordship's favorite
dog following me-a large black
French poodle''-when about half q
mile from the ice suddenly saw about
a dozen great red deer-''stags''-gal-
loping towards me. In a moment l
grasped the situation, and ran for my
life to get on to the ice. 1 did, and
the dog kept close to me. Well. L shall
never forget the extraordinary per-
formance when I landed on the great
sheet of frozen water. The "stags
were determined not to be baked; they
rushed madly after the dog on the Ice,
and down they went, head over heels,
all mixed up in a great heap, and the
more they tried to rise the worse mud
die they got into. fairly roared with
laughter. forgetting the awfully mar
row escape I had had of losing my
life, for had these great strong beasts
got to me they would have ripped both
myself and the dog to ribbons. 1 have
to thank the ice for saving me from
death.

This is partly due to the fact that ma
ture forces the growth Of the young
animal rapidly, bones. muscles and
flesh all growing so that every ounce
of food Is almost entirely converted
into live weight. There Is practically
no loss. and all the animal requires Is
fair attention and good food. Nature
Is then able and willing to do the rest.
When an animal reaches maturity. the
laying on of additional weight becomes
a slow process.

Nav creameries ~. -owa.

We are advised by several creamery
supply statesmen travelling in Iowa that
the prospects for new creamery build
tngs this spring are better than for sew
eral years. A number of new factories
are now under way, and as soon as
spring opens it will keep the statesmen
busy visiting the points which are good
prospects," No one seems to under
stand the cause of the boom which is
surely coming. as it would seem that
the high price of feed would be dis
aging feature. But the farmers
have the creamery fever. and there is
good business in sight for the creamery
supply houses-Creamery Journal.

Raise More-Buy Less.

In the olden days Of farming such
thing as farmer patronizing butch
er was unheard Of. The butcher was
the buyer. and not the seller, and sim
ilar relations existed, to less extent,
between the farmer and the dealer in
stock foods.
There Is no excuse for farmers
placing themselves in position where
tLer fnust hay all or most .oef tbeir
meat, nor should they buy foo'a Tor
stock, except where it Is necessary to
buy something to fill out a ration, and
this something that cannot be raised on
the farm profitably. Still, even such
stock food should be paid for, in a
sense, by selling some other food OF
which one has a surplus.
If the average farm is rightly han
died it should supply it's owner with
most or all of the meat for the family,
all Of the fruit and vegetables. eggs,
poultry and butter. 1t should also sup
ply most Of the food needed for the
stock. Farming in this way, with GER
tain crops which one knows best how
to grow in order to obtain the cash nee
essary for incidental expenses, one car
ries on the work in a way that is prof
liable.

is slipped over the iron bar before 1t
is placed in position. A shorter piece
Of chain is fastened to the first, as
shown In the cut, and at the end Of this
short piece Is strong snap which Is
Fastened to the ring in the halter of the
cow. Where the manger is placed high
er than the one illustrated, the short
piece of chain should be arranged ac-
cordingly. If the chain is strong and
the fixture put in place as directed.
there is little danger Of the animal be-
coming unfastened.

Worth Of a Compliment.

Most compliments sound something
like this: ''They say he is thief, but
he never stole anything from me 1t
may be because l have watched him
closely, but so far l have never missed
anything" When you feel that your
friend deserves praise, why pay tribute
to his enemies in praising him?

Growing Alfalfa.

GROWING Al1aHas
The statement regarding sorghum. to
the effect that farmers are getting over
the idea that it Is mainly a crop for
favored sections, applies as we'll to
alfalfa, one of the finest Of forage
crops, when one comes to know it well
and to properly grow it. The soil
should be well prepared for alfalfa;
crop is one that may be cut at least
twice a year. after the first season, for
several years. Sow the seed with q
grass seeder, using from fifteen to
twenty pounds an acre; harrow lightly
and then roll firmly. Usually the plan
is to first SOW the ground with some
grain crop. like barley. following d.
rectly after with the alfalfa seed in
the quantity named. Harvest the bar
ley when ripe. but do not pasture the
alfalfa the first season. 1t is important
that this be not done, and here Is just
where so many who try alfalfa fail, for
by pasturing the first season the plants
do not have a fair chance to get a
hold in the ground. As a matter Of
fact. If hay is the crop desired, alfalfa
should not be pastured at any time any
more than any crop which is intended
for hay. The second season the alfal-
ia will show its head early in tho
spring. and may be cut at least twice
that season. possibly three times, The
following seasons three crops each
summer can readily be cut from the
field. Alfalfa is drought-resisting, the
stock like it. and it is as easy to grow
as any hay. Try an acre of it this
spring as an experiment.

Pork Eaters.

The Americans have been called a
beef-eating nation. but as a matter of
fact we are pork eating people. Fresh
pork is growing more popular with tho
great middle class each succeeding

demand for fresh cuts in the Eastern
industrial centers where comparative
prosperity exists and everybody save a
solitary vegetarian here and there Ia

describe by other words than "anxious
waiting" had made ON a young life
which would, unoppressed, was sure,
have been so full of spirit and mirth.
1 longed there and then with an earnest
desire that I might do something to
brighten her life, to remove the weight
of uncertainty and grief which burdened
it, and preyed upon it.
But had little further opportunity
for talk with her that night. In few
minutes Mr.. Steinhardt returned. We
heard then what were the causalties re-
sulting from the falling of the bell
tower. A horse had been killed, as,
also, had been a SOW with her litter:
and two pigs had been so injured that
the butcher had to be summoned. We
were now invited into the smoking
room; but Mr.. Birley rose, and said he
must be going; he would smoke his
pipe ON the way home "wi' tn parson.

smoked. The great chimney of the
chemical works, however, emitted not
so much smoke as thin pinkish vapor,
which stole away imperceptibly over
the neighborhood to poison all green
things, and to filter through the cracks
and crevices of doors and windows, to
trouble sleepers with lethargy and head
ache.

dearest of all earth's creatures to me.

It is in order to suggest caution in

Plant good seed to begin with. A linn
