HINTS FOR FARMERS
Cribbing Horses.

The cause Of this habit is in the ma
jority Of cases due to indigestion or
bad teeth, so when the horse has the
habit it should be turned over to a
veterinary surgeon to have its teeth
put In order. If this does not break
up the habit, then treat the animal for
indigestion.
Give the animal dose consisting Of
q mixture Of two ounces of turpentine
and one pint OF. raw linseed oil and re-
peat in week. See that the animal
has plenty Of exercise and keep lump
of rock salt in its manger al the time.
For awhile let the ration consist OF
bran and cornmeal night and morning,
with cut hay as roughage. At noon let
the ration be Of whole oats. with a
small allowance Of hay. Under this
treatment the animal will show a
marked Improvement in a short time,
and If it is persisted in the treatment
will probably break up the habit Of
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and Sportsman.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR
Uncle Ned's Courage.

"That was brave act" calculated a
Boston man as he stood on the wharf
In a little southern town and saw an
old negro plunge unhesitatingly into
the deepest water to save q very small
boy who had stumbled and fallen from
some pling-'a brave act, and he is a
hero, no matter how black the skin he
wears!'
The Bostonian was foremost in tho
group that gathered about Uncle Ned
when he climbed back on the dock with
the rescued lad.
"Your son, is it, old man?" he queried.
"Or perhaps only your grandson
There was very fervent admiration IN
the down casters tones as he put the
question.

CHOICE MISCELLANY


According to the examinations of the
brains Of Europeans that have been
made by anatomiSts, one of the most
important physical, differences between
men and apes and monkeys las been
the absence of the so called simian
fold in the human brain. This simian
fold. or sulctls, which occurs on the
posterior portion of the main hemi-
spheres, has recently been discovered
by Professor G. Elliot Smith Of the
Egyptian government School of Medl-
cine in the course of an examination
of a number of brains =" egyptians
and Sudanese. "" i, -vund that in
certain eXaUIn. u brains In his col
lection the characteristic folds found
in anthropoid apes are so closely repro
duced that he is able to trace and clear
ly establish the identity of every sui
Gus, or assure. Professor Smith has
also succeeded in finding human brains
where the occipital pattern corresponds
closely with the brain of the gorilla.
AS these points Of identity betW een
man and his nearest relations have not
previously been encountered by Euro
pean scientists in their brain studies,
their Importance can be realized, as
they do away with one Of the supposed
and hitherto recognized structural dis
inctions.-Harpers Weekly.

John Morley, the biosrapher OF Glad

laughingly: mo: that is all wrong.
You remember the French story Of the
monk who was great friend of the
devil-quite an old story. One Sunday
the monk found himself too i'll t.
preach, and the devil appearing in the
sacristy he persuaded that oblginG
person to go into the pulpit and ha.
rangue the congregation. The devil
preached a most mastery sermon, GOV.

To Tell the Age of Fishes.

There is new theory extant that 1t
is possible to determine the age of
fishes, especially those Of the cod fami-
ly, by counting the periodic growth Of
the scales.
We know that the growth OF the
scales is annual in the carp. Why
should it not be so in salt water fishes
Mr.. J. s. Thomson, an English biolo-
giSt of note, has been making some in
teresting experiments in this line to
test the age of fishes.
The scales are first carefully exam
ined, then the fishes are labeled and
returned to the sea for future observa-
ton.
In some cases a study Of the scales
reveals changes, so that the rings in
the scales can be distinctly traced
from year to year with certain fixed
regularity.-B Globe.

Breeding Bcrkshires has been hob
by with me for twenty-five years, says
New York correspondent of Amer
lean Asriculturist. About six years
ago l started herd Of large English
Berkshires. | have had pigs at five
months and five days old dress 190
pounds each. like them better than
any other breed l have ever handled.
They fatten easily for market. In the
spring | ring my hogs and turn them
in my orchard, where they pasture to
good advantage. Pigs are weaned
when they are about six weeks old. l
feed milk and mddlin9s to young pigs,
but my breeding sows get bran and
water. feed beets with little corn
twice day IN winter. At narrowing
time l separate them until after the
pigs are weaned.

There has been an unusual amount OF
inquiry Of late as to the possibilities OF
the poultry business being overdone.
Surely the past season should satisfy
every one that for many years to come
there will not be an excess of poultry
or poultry products Of any kind. Chick
ems, turkeys, ducks and geese as mar
ket poultry have all sold higher the
past year than ever before. Even at
this time they are very high in the
markets, the supply Of turkeys said to
be exhausted through the entire coun-
try and the storage houses empty. In
the face of these conditions one would
scarcely imagine that for many years
at least there would be an excess OF
these products.-Feather.

That Herbert Spencer was a really
keen fisherman cannot be doubted. If
it were it would be set at rest by an
anecdote which he tells without appar-

it is amusing. During his trip to Loeb
Doom his line became entangled, and,
at length, closing all patience, vented
an oath" The man in the boat, who
was precentor in the kirk. reproved
him. (which drew my attention to the
fact that. being then thirty-six years

This story was told at a dinner in
New York recently, with Mayor Nc

1t Certainly Was Odd.

The Duke of RoXburghe has in his
castle at Kelso number of fine family
portraits
Some of the rooms at Kelso are
thrown open to the public on certain
days. The duke sometimes tells of a
remark that he once heard q stranger
make while looking through these
rooms.
The stranger had halted beneath two
paintings that hung side by side. They
were portraits Of the third duke and
his son, but the father had been paint
ed in his childhood, the son in his old
age.
1t was this that perpleXed the stran-
ger. He studied the portrait long
time Then he said:

Bait Grows Stale.

Joseph Jefferson believes in early
marriages. At Yale recently he adj
vised a group of juniors to marry as
soon as they could afford it, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer Then he went
on:
II abominate bachelors. The older
they grow the more conceited they
grow. l took one down peg, though
the other day.
"He was talking about this woman
he had known and that woman he had
known, and all these women, it seems,
had married.
"'Why, you l SAIL, are in danger
Of getting left. Why don't you, too,
get married before it is too late?

danger of the bait becoming stale?"

good stock as it is from poor, says
American Agriculturist. The difference
in the price of a good queen for breed

Quence when the number of queens
which she will produce is considered,
AS to the profit of n good queen over n
poor one, there is no comparison. y
poor queen may be kept for one or two
seasons and her bees produce no sur
