LIGHT IN STABLES.

Sunshine is just as essential to horses
and other farm animals as it is to
human beings. DO not lose sight of
this fact when building stables and
pens. This is too often done, and
stables for both horses and cattle are
too dark. The eyes of horses are not
infrequcntly injured by being kept in
dark stables. Our houses, as rule,
are much better lighted than our sta
bles, yet we all know how uncomforta-
bic it is TO go out of well lighted
house into the glare of sunshine, espe-
plally If there is now on the ground.
The effect is even worse on horses
and cows. Aside from any special
effect on the eyes, light and sunshine
In stables are of vast Importance to
the general health and thrift of farm
stock, and they should always he con.
structed with view of admitting as
much as possible of both. In old
barns and stables where the stock
quarters are dark, and, as necessary
consequence, damp, il would be a good
idea to put in some windows to admit
light and sunshine into them. The
present Is good time TO attend to
this, and the considcrate person will
do it.-Thomas w. Lloyd, IN the Trib.
une Farmer.

Where SOAP Grows Wild.

In mountain near Elko, New.
there is an ineXhaustible supply of
pure soap. One may enter the mine
with butchers knife and cut as large
a piece as he wants. 1t is beautifully
mottled and on being exposed to the
air hardens somewhat. The mountain
of clay is of fine texture and it con.
tains boracic acid, soda and borate Of
lime.
Its color is given it by the iron and
other minerals. In It's natural state It
is rather strong in alkali and removes
ink and other stains readily. At one
time 1t was used in all of the lavato.
ries on the Pullman cars, but as soon
as this fact became generally known
the cakes were carried away by trav.
elers as souvenirs. The railroad com.
pany could net supply the demand. SO
it was forced TO discontinue its use.---

TEACHING A COLT.

Here is good method TO teach n
wild colt, or any horse unaccustomed
TO being tied in { stall. Put a halter
on the animal and fasten rope some
ten or twelve feet long TO it. Bore a
hole large enough for the rope TO pass
through In the side of the manger near
est the horse, fasten II board ON front
Of manger about four feet from the
floor, pass the rope through hole in
side of n manger and over the boards
in front of manger. Tie weight of
about fifty-hve pounds Oh end of rope;
now give the horse just so much rope
that when 1t passes back farther than
the distance you wish TO let it have,
1t will be compelled to lift the weight.
Animal will soon yield to this gentle
mode and cannot break anything, ms
rope will let him back as far as the
stall permits.

Criminals Marked Forever.

The Bertillon system of measure
ment, with its accompaniment of pho
tographs, seems TO be firmly fixed as
the surest method of identifying Grim
inals who have once been in the
hands OF the law. Out of the hun
dreds of cases which the New York
police department handles every year
in which this system has been called
into play, it has not failed once. In
der this system the following meas
urements are taken: Head, two meas
urements, length and width; foot,
length Of left foot only; ear, length of
right ear only; forearm, length of left
forearm only-elbow to large finger
ends; fingers, length of large finger
and small finger, lelt hand only;
arms, outstretched, or reach; height,
In bare feet; trunk, length of body
from seat to top of head; cheekbones,
width. By securing the above meas
urements of an individual, together
with ar accurate description of the
features, nose, forehead, chin, etc,
color of the hair and eyes and the ex-
act location, size and description OF
marks and scars, a criminals record
can be filed in such manner that lie
cannot escape Identification at any fu-
ture time.

Try Hairy Netck.

Those who are not familiar with
sand or hairy vetch should grow 1t and
ascertain for themselves how valuable
it is. A good way to test 1t is to take
single acre Of land and prepare 1t
for wheat, being careful to get as nice
seed bed as possible. then at wheat
sowing time, sow this land with a
mixture of one bushel of wheat and
one bushel of hairy vetch. The result
will be surprising for the crop in the
spring will be excellent for hay or for
soiling The hairy vetch may be
grown alone or it may be used as a
cover for young orchards. 1t does
especially well under the shade of
trees. hence could be used to advan-
tage in orchards of considerable size.

MAKING MILK PAlATABLE.
Some Valuable and Practical Sugges-
tions to Amateur Nurses.

Many patients when ordered milk
diet positively state that they cannot
endure the taste of milk that It al
ways nauseates them, or that II makes
them bilious and produces headache.
The objection TO the taste can always
be overcome and by little tact and
perseverance there are few persons
who cannot digest a more or less ex-
elusive milk diet for a few days or
weeks if the milk is properly given.
Their previous unfavorable experience
is probably due TO having large dose
of undiluted milk which soured, coag
uated and was rejected, exciting all
the distaste which they have treasured
against it.
When the milk diet is necessary,
such patients should commence with
a teaspoonful or two at a time, repeat
ing it once in ten or fifteen minutes.
If the milk is taken very slowly into
the stomach and mingled on the way
with saliva, like other food eaten
rather than drunk, il is impossible
to form the large tough curds that 1t
uOtS WHSH pDuIGu uOWH ny inc tuill'
blerful, like dose of disagreeable
salts. In this manner by degrees tho
patient will be convinced of his abil
i,y to retain it and then the quantity
may be increased.
Sometimes patients dislike the taste
of raw milk or tire of il. This may be
easily overcome by favoring it in
variety of ways. A few teaspoonluls
of black coffee bs one of the best
means at hand. Very weak tea may
be preferred. Caramel or ginger is
another excellent fiavoring substance
which may be literally used. Some
patients may take a little chocolate
or cocoa nlbs infusion with their glass
of milk. Others prefer the addition
of common salt or little black pep
per.
None of the additions materially af.
feet the nutritive value of milk and
the variety of taste which may be Sc
cured with these different flavoring
substances will invariably overcome
all preJudfces.- s.-Housekeeper.

DESTROYING Hardhack.

Not long ago had occasion to cross
the adjoining pastures OF two largo
dairy farms with natural conditions
about alike. On one there was q
large amount Of bareback. while on the
other there was only an occasionally
small shrub to be seen.
On the first there had been no at
tempt made to check or destroy the
growth, but | found on enquiry that
on the other thorough work had been
made in pulling up the bushes In the
fall few years since. 1t must have
been pretty thorough. too, and effect
ual to hardly leave a trace behind.
Perhaps the fall pulling was what did
the business. similar to that Of cutting

A Garden Hint.

1t is sometimes claimed that a gar
den becomes too rich, and that il pro
duces an enormous growth of vine,
with but little seeds or fruit. The
difficulty is that the garden contains
an excess of some kind of plant foods.
Rotate the crops or make the garden
in new location, growing corn, pota-
toes and cabbage successfully on the
old location when 1t may be used as
garden plot again. 1t is doubtful, how
ever, If garden can be too rich.

Renewing the Orchard.

The fall is the time to renew the

and wood ashes. Manure may also be
applied to advantage, the ground be-
ing well narrowed after the fertilizer
and manure have been broadcasted.
In the spring the ground may be used
for potatoes, early cabbage, carrots,
beets or parsnips, which will permit
of growing crop while cultivating the
orchard.

WATER For SWINE.

One of the best preventlves of hog
cholera is clean range and clean
pen. If the hogs or pigs on the range
have made hole in which TO wallow
change the quarters at once. Give
them place on heavy sod under
some trees If possible and see that
they have plenty of fresh, clean
water from the well daily, Do not
permit them to drink from a stream,
for they will be befoul every stream
they can get TO, ana suffer the conse.
quences of their own filth II kept
so that they must be watered from a
trough, have the trough arranged so
that they cannot get their feet into
II, and 1t should be built also so that
the surplus water can be let out
through hole in the end. A stout
plug will easily accomplish this. A
good plan in watering swine during
the summer is to add little charcoal
to the water to remove any impurities
there may be in it. We consider it
practically impossible to have the
water for swine too pure or too clean,
and never offer them water which we
would not willingly drink. In feed
Ing vegetables and apples to swine we
never give them more than they will
eat up clean, and in this way we not
only keep them in good condition but
prevent any fouling of the pen or the
range. A clean hog is n healthy hog,
and healthy hog takes on weight
rapidly, hence is the profitable hog

THE HEAVIEST TAX,

The heaviest tax farmer pays Is
the one lie infllcts upon himself by
economizing in room in the stables.
He keeps too many animals in proper
ton to space, and they do not thrive.
In connection with this IS the tax paid
in food by keeping stock in quarters
that are not warm. In the winter
season the animal is warmed by the
food, and the greater the exposure to
cold the more food required. Warm
shelter saves food and also prevents
the chilling of young animals and the
checking of their growth at an early
age.

September is the best month in the

At now appears according to the
statement OF the wise men IN our
Agricultural Department that there is
no cannibalistic insect which Uncle
Sam can produce or import that will
devour potato bugs. There Is a sp0
cies of ant, indigenous to Guatemala,
which will eat any bug in South
America. Colonies Of these ants were
imported and set to work defending
Texas cotton plants from the attacks
of the boil weevil. They have done
fairly well in respect to the weevils.
but have not given entire satisfaction.
Next to the boil weevil the potato
bug Is the greatest enemy OF the
Southern Iarmer. The experts In
Washington decided TO put the Qua
temalan ant on the trail of the in
sect which plays havoc with the gran
gers potato patch. The ant camo
and saw, but didn't conquer the po-
tato bug. For reasons best known to
himself he declined TO give rein to
his cannibalistic propensities. The
Agricultural Department theory 10
that any insect which a Guatemalan
ant will not devour must be pretty
tough eating" Agriculturalists who
have potato patches must get rid OF
the bugs by the old-fashioned method.
