The Growing Colt.

If skimmilk is abundant, IL Will 1orm
one of the very best foods possible to
secure for a colt. If to this, or any
other ration, a small amount daily
~(one-ouarter pound or so) of dried
blood can be given, it will keep MIN
in good, healthy condition and the
coat smooth and glossy.
For the growing colt there is no bet
ter coarse food than a ration made up
partly of clover hay, early cut, and a
mixture of timothy and redtop, IN
which redtop preponderates. Oats and
peas mixed and cut as hay also con-
stitute a favorable food. The blood
spoken of should be mixed with a ra-
ton made I'D partly of oats and mid
dlings.
The oats alone, or oats and barley,
will answer, but middlings are SO
much cheaper, and equally ehclent
with oats, that it is desirable to reduce
the cost by feeding some of this meal.
A fraction of the gluten feeds may be
safely added. About three pounds per
day will answer, unless very rapid ma
tlrity is desired. Horsemen do not
favor too rapid pushing OF the colt, de-
string rather to develop more slowly
and a irmer, harder muscle.-A. w.
Gilman, in the Cultivator.
Value of Keeping Farm Accounts:
My eyesight does not admit OF en-
tering figures after dark, hence during
each day I note the facts and figures
briefly in my diary. On Saturday al
ternoons of each week l enter all these
items on the debit or credit side OF
each crop account on the correct day
of the month. At the end Of the
month l add up the debit and credit
sides of each account and carry the
sums to the debit sides of the same
r account for the subsequent month
on the first vacant following page. So
on until the end of the season, when
each separate account is balanced,
showing exactly what was made or
lost on that particular crop.
In my diary each crop is charged
with the value of the time spent upon
it each day, be the same ten minutes
Or ten hours. Keeping a diary in
wolves a little more work than enter
ing the items in the account book IN
the first instance, but my diary is
worth more than it costs as a book for
future reference. Therein are noted
briefly the ways and dates of planting
each crop as well as the weather con
ditions, so that by consulting it and
the account book l not only see the re
suits, but can generally discover the
causes of failure or success. For in
stance, the past year by the aid OF
both, / discover l have heretofore gen
orally planted corn and beans toe

PUBLIC TRUSTS HIM.
Chancellor of British Exchequer Is
an Honest Official.
he Has Both the Will and the Power
to Protect the Treasury from
Raids Made Upon 1t from
Every Direction.

The present British chancellor of the
exchequer has enjoyed, as politician,
Q career of steady upward progress.
He has been in succession president of
the local government board, president
OF the board of trade, home secretary
and now chancellor of the exchequer.
In each of the offices that he has
previously held he has done good work,
and, in one or two ca ses, work that has
left permanent mark upon the leg
lslation of the country. Perhaps his
most notable achievement was the
passing of the local government act
of 1888, which established county
councils throughout England and
Wales. This measure was so far in
advance of anything that the liberals
had expected from conservative gov
was nicknamed by them "Ritchie the
Radical" At the board of trade Mr..
Richie had no such opportunity of dis
tinguishing himself as a legislator,
but he was certainly one of the most
active and successful administrators
that has held the post for long time
past. From the board of trade Mr..
Richie was promoted to the home Of
fee, and his tenure of that Office will
probably long be remembered for the
passing of the licensing act of last
year. The credit for fighting this
difficult and highly contentious meas
ure through the house of commons
belongs to Mr.. Richie almost alone.
The measure is certainly not popular
either with publicans or with brewers,
but there is good reason to hope that
it will effectively tend to check drunk
enness. It is undoubtedly the most
courageous temperance measure that
has passed through parliament in the
present generation.
What Mr.. Richie may do in his new
Office it is impossible at the time of
writing to guess. He has, however,

about two years, having taken up the
work when he was two years Of age.

NEWS PER WIRELESS
Unique Journalistic Enterprise on
Santa Catalina Island.
System Has Worked Well In Most Adj
verse Circumstances and IL Ca.
pable Of Almost Unlimited
ExOansiOn.

The island Of Santa Catalina il q
part of Los Angeles county, southern
California, lying about 20 miles off
shore, parallel with the mainland.
The principal settlement or town is
atAvalon, on the southeast, where one
of the quaintest hamlets of the coast
has grown up, having a summer pop-
ulation of 5000 or more and a rapidly
growing one IN winter. The locality
has much to recommend it-an almost
perfect climate the year around, and
sports anu pastimes which have given
it worldwide reputation.
There has been one drawback to
Santa Catalina, and that was the lack
of telegraphic communication. In
summer there are from two to three
boats daily; but in winter only one,
the steamer arriving at noon. For "a
lours the island was virtually without
communication with the mainland. To
remedy this, the Banning company,
who own the island, established a pi-
geon route. Large hocks of these birds
were trained, and kilograms or i'm
portant news were sent in this man.
ner with success, the birds taking
message from Avalon to Los Angeles,
distance of IS miles, in about an hour.
The pigeon houses were so arranged
that when bird arrived with a mes
sage it rang an electric alarm in the
receivers home or office, thus calling
him up. .... =
But there was an element of uncer-
tainty in this. Sportsmen who did not
know that the birds were tame shot
them en- route. Others died of over
exertion. In the main the service was
satisfactory, but SO many prominent
men visited the island that the need
of adequate means of communication
became more and more urgent. Final

the road for some time farmer drove
up behind him. 'Wanter git in an
ride?' he said to the young lawyer.
and Bailey accepted gladly.
"'Going to the convention?' asked
Bailey, after awhile. Yep said the
farmer. Ever hear of a young lawyer
named Bailey round here?' asked
Bailey. Nope said the farmer. Good
speaker and bright fellow, I UNDER

Bailey, and he will be over there to-
day, and tell you what we'll do. Well
call on him to make a speech. You see
all your friends, tell them about Bailey,
and We'll call on him.
"The farmer said all right. No more
was said about the matter until there
was a lapse in the convention during
the preliminary movements of the
body. Suddenly the old farmer got
up and suggested that the convention
hear from Mr.. Bailey, "a risin' young
lawyer of these diggin's,' he said, AN
Teller who talks like putin out a

and runs up to the height of about 90

up, on the opposite side, there is a
small aperture just large enough for a

make it possible for person standing

Has Bullet I'm His Heart.

The surgeons at Leipzig hospital
have been treating a young man who
was brought to them with bullet il,
his heart. The bullet. however,
caused no bleeding. and did not in
lure the heart in vital part, for
after IL hours the patient recovered,
and remained we'll for three weeks
Then dangerous symptoms appeared,
and an examination with Rontgen
rays showed that the bullet was be-
ing tossed about inside the heart like
ball bouncing off the sides of a
room. After six months, however.
the bullet became imbedded firmly in
the flesh of the heart, and once set
tied in an immovable position, the pa
tents condition rapidly improved for
the better. The young man has now
left the hospital, and the doctors be-
Iieve that TIE bullet in his heart will
give him no further trouble.

suggested the installment of a wireless
Geographic plant. A point was selected
north of Avalon bay on the conspicuous
headland that eliminates in Sugar
Loaf rock and is reached by we'll
built stage road. Here the mast was
erected and the Office built, the latter
being connected with a main office on
Ocean avenue, Avalon. The instru-
ments used, notably the receiver, were
designed by Mr.. Swcnson, says the Sci
entitic American.
The nearest mainland point is at San
Pedro, about 80 miles distant, and from
the time the office opened for business
to date, about 5000 messages have been
sent without single error or mo-
ment's delay. The plat has been sub
iected to some severe tests. During
the last of March terrific storm of
wind and rain very nearly cut off boat
communication with the island; yet
the messages were sent across the
channel with directness and precision.
It is interesting TO note that while
the London Times is experimenting
with "marconigraphs," endeavoring to
test the accuracy of the system, the
Pacific Wireless Telegraph company
has been for several weeks in business,
supplying Santa Catalina through a
daily paper. the Wireless, with all it's
news. The Wireless is a small news
paper containing the condensed news
of the day--a perfect busy mans pa
per. The Avalon Wireless publishes
every morning the news of Santa Cata-
lima, the latest catches of great game
fishes on the Isle of Summer, as we'll
as the telegraphic news of the world,

gan to call a nearby Office and sign our
office call at regular intervals the same
as an old telegrapher would do. We
questioned him as to what Office he
was calling and he promptly named it
and also told us what letters it took
to make the Office call. From that day
he kept on improving very rapidly, or,
perhaps I should say, it naturally
came to him. He would pronounce
difficult words when he would hear
them on wire. And he would spell
words correctly on the wire that he
could not spell otherwise.
Imagine our surprise when we
came In the Office one day and he
promptly told us he heard the train
dispatcher give train order and that
Nos. 1853 and 154 would meet at Waton-
ga. We inquired into this and found
out he was correct. Glenn did not
study nor was he taught. Now he can
read train order correctly, tell when
operators are sending their wire car
reports and tell when Watonga's turn
comes. He can tell when other opera
tors @. S. their trains, what Office is
reporting and the number of the train.
HE frequently calls up Wichita and
asks them - which means: Have you
anything for us?' Very often he calls
up other offices and tells them to copy
He will call all of the Offices he can
raise and then, after he gets them ell
lined upready to 'copy'-they thinking
it is an all-agent message-he will tell
them 49, which means he is busy on
another wire.
"Other operators cannot tell his
work from that of the regular opera
tor, as he does not send 'hammy,' like
all beginners, but he makes his letters
correctly, exactly like an old telegraph
er. A few days ago he called up
Geary station and told the operator to
copy The Geary operator told him
to wait minute till he got his mill
and when he had his typewriter ready
he told Glenn to go ahead. Glenn then
told him 49,
.The operators at the Wichita West
ern Union Office call him nearly every
day. They are very much surprised at
him. and it is very hard to make any
operator believe he is talking to little
boy four years old. The Wichita opera
tors can now tell his hand from either
his mothers or mine; they often call
him and ask him to tell some other Of
flee on another wire to answer them for
. message. He promptly replies art
(all right, and Immediately gets on
the other wire and calls the Office. If
successful in raising them, he tells
them to answer on No. wire.
81 believe we are safe in saying that
Glenn is the youngest telegrapher in
the world, and the youngest one that
was ever known. He can cut out and
in the switch board, and when the wire
Il open he can test the wire by ground
ing and locate IN which direction the
wire 4 open"
