Care of Horses Necks.

Nine out of every ten farm horses
suffer from abrasions OF the skin oil
the neck during the spring work and
this is so severe in many cases as to
keep the horse from doing a full days
work. Try this plan of treating the
farm horse during the season of hard
work. After feeding the horse brush
Off or, better still, wipe 1t OFF with
a large cloth. Then, with tepid water,
sponge the head, neck and shoulders
and wipe dry with clean cloth.
II the shoulders show indications of
soreness rub over them a little vase
line and let 1t remain over night. See
that the collar worn fits well and after
taking 1t Off wipe 1t thoroughly with
a damp cloth and hang 1t where 1t
will be thoroughly dry in the morn
ing. 1t will pay well to take this little
additional care OF the horse during
the working season If at no other time.

Six DAYS Enough.

many years and 1 never knew a man
to prosper who habitually worked on
Sunday. Some men will spend a day
or two In town during the week and
then they will feel that they are so
far behind that they must plant corn
OH Sunday to catch up. The man who
gets a dollar by fraud will lose 1t and
another with 1t. The man who gains
by laboring on Sunday may make the
temporary worldly gains, but will lose
that which is infinitely more valuable
to him than all of this worlds goods.

Dividing a Stall.

In some barns the stalls are sum-
ciently wide so that they may be
divided when occasion requires II
some temporary division can be easily
made, put in place and removed when
desired. A plan for doing this Is shown
in the illustration. A gate is made
OF proper material reaching from the
manger to the end of the stall. The
post Of this gate at the end is made
about a foot longer than the lower
rail and a hole is made In the floor
through which this post is slipped
when put In position and thus makes
the gate or fence firm. At the manger-
end the fence is fastened to the man
ger by pair of gate hinges.
Two stiff sticks are fastened to the
1oist above with a bolt, one over the
manger-end and one over the other
end. In the lower end of each of these
sticks a notch is cut which comes over
q staple on the fence and holds II,
the fence, firm. When the fence is

Soda for Potatoes.

In growing tomatoes nitrogen in the
soil is the least desired of the plant
foods and the best results will come
from phosphoric acid and potash liber-
ally applied broadcast. Much has been
written regarding the use of nitrate of
soda for tomato growing and while
this chemical Is good, It should be
used with caution. Its function is to
cause the plant to make quick
growth; in other words give it a
start which will be kept up by the
phosphoric acid and tho potash.
This being the case the best way to
use 1t is to watch the plants closely
as they grow and If any shows lack
OF vigor sprinkle a teaspoonful of the
nitrate Of soda about the plant. Us
ually one application will be sufficient
TO start such plants off in good shape
and once they get good start there
will be no trouble II the soil has been
properly enriched and proper cultiva-
ton has been carried on.

Thrifty Melons.

Sow melons in light rich soil; poul-
try manure produces rapid growth. II
the season is very warm and moist the
vines may need to be pinched back to
secure early fruiting. Musk-melons re-
quire a season of about three and one
half months and watermelons about
four and one-half months. hence the
crop is rather uncertain In this lati-
tude. The crop is made more sure If
seeds are rrst started in a hotbed and
transplanted when they begin to run

Field Beans and Soy Beans.

The average results for six years
at the Ontario station show that the
following varieties of field beans have
given the highest yields: White Won
der, Day Improved Leafiess, Medium
or Navy, Pearce Improved Tree and
Schofield Pea. Based on the expert
ments with soy beans at the college.
the Early Yellow is recommended for
the production Of grain for feed, and
the Medium Green for ensiling with
corn.

Best Food for Fattening Lambs.

Very careful experiments at the On
tario Agricultural College have shown
that an even mixture of peas and oats
made the most profit in feeding lambs.
Peas alone make the most gain, but
at a somewhat greater cost Of feed.
Corn and peas made slightly small
Ter gain than the other feeds. But
the difference was so small that the
convenience OF procuring the feed Is
the largest element in the case As
peas and oats may be grown together
very conveniently and cheaply, this
crop secures some advantages over
others which may give it a preference
In this regard. a...r"

Its Government.
Although the campaign in the orient

es. the attention of Europe is concen-
trated on Russia, and the public con
viction grows that the Muscovite en-
pire is near the greatest crisis in its
history. The assassination of Won
Plehve was comparatively unimportant
in that crisis. He was, it is true, the
strongest individual force in the coun-
try's government. but his strength
could not compensate for the weakness
of the supreme head of Russian des-
potism.

to combine great ducal reactionaries

Hope Against Birth of Son.

Everybody but the czar is hoping
against the birth of a son. They dread
the dangers to the state that would
arise from sovereign called to reign
during his minority. The car is now
SO years old. 1t would be liberal es-
innate to give his reign still 20 years.
His inadequate physical condition and
the nerve destroying strain, aside from
the danger of assassination, reduces
value. Should there be no son, and the
present czarowich, who is not married,
not reach the throne, the succession
would go to the family of Grand Duke
Vladimir, the cars uncle, who is un-
fit to rule because of violent self in
diligence and lack of consideration for
all who come in contact with him.
Vladimir's elder son, Cyril, will prop
ably renounce his place in the line of
succession in order that he may marry
his cousin, the divorced wife of the
grand duke of Hesse. His next broth
er, Boris, would probably be removed
from the list by the council of state
should he become heir apparent on the
grounds of dissolute imbecility.
There remains a third son, Andre,
who is personally more acceptable, al
though he suffers to some extent
through the general dislike of his faith
er and brother. He is liked by the
army, and is a vigorous young man
and a capable officer.

quainted with all the revolutionary ele-
ments and | am well protected, will
be the victim of a similar attack some
day, for nobody is safe from unforeseen
able contingencies"
The correspondent says that the mo-
ment of the explosion he was sitting
with Minister Won Plehve's secretary
in the Baltic station, awaiting the ar
rival there of the minister. The Sec
rotary sprang up and cried: "They
have killed the minister"
