LEARNING THINGS
We Are All In the Apprentice Class

We Are All In the Apprentices Class.
When a simple change Of diet
brings back health and happiness the
story is briefly told. A lady OF
Springfield, H., says: After being
afflicted for years with nervousness
and heart trouble, l received shock
four years ago that left me in such
a condition that my life was despaired
of. l could get no relief from doctors
Tor from the numberless heart and
nerve medicines l tried because I
didn't know that the coffee was daily
putting me back more than the Drs.
could put me ahead.
Finally at the request OF a friend I
left OF coffee and began the use Of
Postum and against my convictions
gradually improved in health until for
the past or 8 months l have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells Of heart trouble.
MY troubles all came from the use
of coffee which had drunk from
childhood and yet they disappeared
when quit coffee and took up the
use Of Postum" Name given by
Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
Many people marvel at the effects
OF leaving OF coffee and drinking
Postum but there is nothing r.rvel-
Gus about it-only common sense.
Coffee is a destroyer-Postum is a
rebuilder. That's the reason.

little book. The Road to weuvllle."

JEFFRIES STILL CHAMPION
MONROE OUT in SECOND

and Jeffries in the first round had
him twice on the canvas taking the
count.
Jeffries directed his bombardment
against the stomach of his opponent
and each shot was followed by blow
on the jaw that sent Munroe to his
knees. Jeffries went back to his cor
ner after the opening round with a
sheer and laugh on his swarthy face,
while Munroe's seconds busted them
selves with smelling salts and restor-
atiyes.
When the two came together for the
second round the laugh on the cham
pion's face changed to look OF de-
termination and it was no time until
Munroe was knocked out.

San Francisco. Aug. Z9.-Like the
yeriest amateur in the prize ring Jack
Munroe, of Butte, Mont, went down
and out before Champion James j.
Jeffries in the second round. The man
from the mining district made such
an extremely sorry showing that the
great throng in the Mechanics pavll-
ion roundly hooted him as he protest
ed to Referee Graney against the de-
cision that had been given in favor
Of Jeffries.
The two giants had not been In the
ring two minutes when it was foreseen
that the aspirations of Munroe would
be quickly disposed of.

Same Idea Vigorously Expressed.

1t is curious to trace how similar
ideas have taken root in different Ian
guages and the various modes of IL
Illustrating the same thought To take
for instance, one or two familiar
proverbs in our language. We say
"A bird in the hand is worth two in
the BUSH" The same idea is expressed
by Italians when they say, Better
an egg today than a pullet tomor-
row." and the French proverb Is still
more significant "One here-it-is Is
no better than two you-shall-have-its."

Dat Hay.

Farmers who intend making oat hay
should keep careful watch on the crop
that it does not become too mature.
For hay, oats should be harvested
when the grain is in the dough stage,
not when ripe enough to thresh. When
cut at this time there will be no dam
ger Of losing any Of the grain, as it
will not shell, and the quali,y Of straw
will also be worth much more as a
feed. The stems and leaves of the
plant can all be saved and they will
cure into very good feed for almost any
class of stock. Of course if the crop
Is intended for seed or grain, it should
not be harvested until thoroughly ma
tured. 1t should be remembered, how
ever, that a day or two of nice grow
ing weather will make a great differ
ence in the condition Of any crop, es-
pecially when near maturity. For
this reason we say, keep close tab upon
them, and no matter what they are
to be harvested for, endeavor to do
the cutting at just the right period.
Weather conditions may sometimes in
terfere with ones harvest, and that, Of
course, cannot very we'll be helped,
but as far as possible every farmer
should make it a point to have all con
ditions under his control and then
see that everything is done exactly on
time. Every year there are many dol.
lars worth Of crops lost by neglect in
harvesting them at just the right time.
Overripe crops, especially grains, are
always handled with great loss, even
at the best. Be on time, and by so do
ing save pounds of roughage feed when
in prime condition and every bushel Of
grain when mature, and when it will
cost the least to harvest.-Farm3r's
Guide.

Problem of Medical Etiquette.


1t is an ancient custom in Hungary
that when a medical candidate has
passed his examination with distinc-
ton, and the doctors degree is con-
ferred sub auspiciis regis, he should
receive from the Emperor of Austria
(King Of Hungary a ring bearing the
initials ST. J." set in brilliants. After
a certain time he is admitted to pre-
sent his than's in person to the Sow
ereign. In connection with this Gus.
tom a curior.. problem recently exer.
cised the mind of a young doctor who
was serving his time in the army as q
zone year volunteer" Being invited to
present himself before the Emperor, lie
was greatly puzzled how to do so, for
on the n hand, as a private soldier,
he ought to wear his shake, while on
the other, as doctor Of medicine, he
should carry his hat under his arm,

lowing opinion:
IF the Emperor speaks to you in
German, which is the regulation Ian
guage of the army, you must regard
yourself as q plain one year volunteer

shake on you head. But should his
Imperial Majesty address you in Hun

A Good Egg Preservat:ye'

In giving the readers of this depart
ment the benefit Of the method most
used for the preservation of eggs. it is
done with the hope that the eggs thus
preserved will be used at home, or. if
sold, sold strictly on their merits. 1t is
the selling of preserved eggs as "strict-
" fresh" that has ruined the poultry
business of more than Il man. If one
has strictly fresh eggs that he can
guarantee in midwinter, sell them as
such and demand the highest price.
If the eggs offered are preserved. say
so. The best egg p%reservative now
known is water glass, or, in other
words, 4 solution Of silicate Of sodium
procurable ut any drug store. Put the
solution in an carthen vessel, add
nine times its bulk Of water, and put
in it as many eggs as the solution will
cover. Then place a coEer over the

kitchen, however, waere there is not a
supply Of gas, and rs the gas-heated
iron is the nearest approach to the
Ideal electric iron. it is probable its
popularity will become very great be-
fore being ousted by the universal in
PRODUCTION of cheap electric power. The
illustration shows a modern type of
g%as-heated iron. which is novel i'll de-
sign in that it is reversible, combining
in the single piece both the ordinary
fat and the curved polishing surface.
The latter is concave and has q bright,
smooth surface. A patented feature
enables either surface to be used with
out u%ncoupling the iron from the ieXi-
BILE tube furnishing the gas which is
burned in the interior of the hollow
iron. and which permits a continuous
heat of any desired intensity to be UNI
formlJ maintained.

Thrush in Horses.

In nine cases out Of ten when thrush
! occurs it is due to the horse standing
in filth, so that the prevention of the
trouble is plain to be seen. InVestiga-
ton will prove that the majority Of
the horses afflicted with thrush are
heavily fed and given little exercise,
and, as stated, stand in filth. While
there are many honest differences of
opinion as to what material constitutes
the best floor for a horse, it is certain
that the floor must be kept reasonably
clean or the animal will contract dis
ease Of some kind. The best treat
ment for thrush~is to cleanse the foot
thoroughly, soaking it we'll in water as
hot as the horse will stand, If neces-
sary, and then place calomel in all the
crevices of the frog, covering it with
oakurh to hold it in place; this dressing
must be changed daily.
Place the horse in 4 large box stall
and provide a heavy bed of straw so
that there will be a sort of cushion for
the feet at all times. While the horse
is in the stall and not At to exercise q
great deal, cut the rations down, being
careful that the animal has sufficient
variety to keep the bowels in good
condition. AS soon as the animal can
be given exercise it should be taken
out Of doors several times a day. The
dressing should be faithfully applied
until the discharge Of matter ceases.

Ad1niral's Horse Shot.

Dick, an old saddle horse, used by
Admiral Silas Casey when he was
League Island commandant, was shot
the other day at the Navy Yard at
Philadelphia. The horse was stabbed
in the rear of the marine barracks.
Since Admiral Casey was relieved from
command of the yard in 1000. Dick
had led an easy life, being too old for
work. Formerly he drew the Admir-
ais carriage on all state occasions,
and carried the Secretary Of the Navy
on a trip through the yard. A short
time ago he was stricken with a Pc
culiar disease. The veterinary surgeon
Of the yard could give no relief, and
the faithful old horse suffered great
pain. Finally orders were given to a
marine to shoot the animal. The ma
rines had been saved from a fire near
the barracks a few nights before by
the neighing Of the horse, and protest.

Farm Hints.

A cross-bred animal shouiu never be
chosen as a breeder.
There is no single breed that pos
sesses only good qualities.
Nothing so surely impoverishes the
farm as the selling of hay.
With improved stock, to insure sue.
cess, must come improved treatment.
Any kind of live stock will depre.
ciate in value when cut short in their
rationS.
Always sift coal ashes before putting
them in the dust box for the use of
poultry.
In hot weather especially, horses sub
ject to collie should be handled with
great care.
All things considered the best place
to put manure is on 4 freshly plowed
soil. Haul out as fast as made.
A little care in the matter of water
ing and feeding horses will prevent
much sickness and consequent loss.
In breeding. other things being
equal, the more vigorous animal tends
to impress itself upon the progeny.
It is much easier to tell how a thing
should be done than it is to demon,
strate the advantages of q plan by
experiment.

Hog Cholera.

Ao
I think calomel 4 Sure cur if given
in time for hog cholera. I do not know
the minimum dose that will cure, nor
do I know whether it will salivate or
not. I have not saliTated any.
Last year 1 had three sows and one
litter of small pigs. I put about one-
fourth %teaspoonful calomel in wheat
bread, three pieces; two sows ate and
got well; one refused and died. 1 car
ried the pigs about seventy-fve yards
to a chicken coop. They would neither
kick, blink their eyes, nor squeal. l
gave each about as much as two doses
for a grown person. They staggered
back and all got we'll. I think a good
plan to give calomel (say to a dozen
hogs) shell three or four ears Of corn,
pour a little sorghum syrup on each
grain, sprinkle the calomel on, stir
SO as to get the calomel as evenly
through as possible; then feed. 1 have
cured hogs several times in this way.
Hoping your readers will profit by my
experience, I AIN, respectfully, j. w.
Jones, in Home and Farm.
