Dividing q Stall.

In some barns the stalls are sufi-
GENTLY wide so that they may be
divided when occasion requires If
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 a pair of gate hinges.
Two stiff sticks are fastened to the
joist above with a bolt, one over the
m~anger-end and one over the other
end. In the lower end of each Of these
sticks a notch is cut which m owe
a staple on the fence and holds it.

a population which averaged twelve

Water Before Feeding.

Horses should be watered before
their grain feed. This story has been
put to the experimental test. A horse
was fed with four quarts Of whole
oats, and Immediately after given
water to drink. Soon after the horse
was killed and opened. Scarcely a
quart Of oats was found swimming
in the water in the stomach, the re-
manning three quarts having been
forced by the water into the intestines.
Another horse was given water first,
and then about four quarts Of oats.
Fifteen minutes after this horse was
slaughtered, and the entire quantity
of oats was found in the stomach, and
already digestion was setting in.
Horses require more water in hot
weather than in cold, and more when
at work than when idle. Horses at
full work should be watered frequent
ly; three times a day is not too often.
The hay and grain should always be
pure and sweet.

A few months ago there was some
question as to whether Japan had a
standing among the more enlightened
nations of the earth. But now there
are only a very few who do not accord
to the little brown men a high position
In the civilized world. This change
of opinion has been brought about Oh
account of the terrible destruction
which Japan has wrought upon Rus,
sla's navy. Europeans and Americans
cannot see how any but highly civil
lied beings could sink six vessels and
wreck and cripple eleven others in sew
en- quick attacks A proved capacity
to kill and destroy has made the jar
a brother and an equal.

Farm Notes.

Keep all young animals growing and
gaining.
Avoid working horses in the rain as
much as possible.
Ground feed is better than whole
grain for growing colts.
With shelter for stock, light is as
essential as air and warmth.
Sweet food for hogs is bettor than
that which is fermented and soured.
All rubbish and prunings from the
garden and orchard should be burned.
A failing appetite is generally the
first indication Of an animal being
out Of condition.
Coal ashes. as well as wood ashes,
should be saved and applied on wet,
heavy soils.
C~onveniences for watering and feed
ing stock are items in saving time,
labor and feed on the farm.
Corn and,oats, half of each, ground
together. make one Of the best kinds
Of feed for cows in milk.
The best way to get rid of the cur
rant worm is to dust the leaves with
white hellebore.
In nearly all cases, the best animals
are the offspring of mature parents on
both sides.
Be ready to cut clover when the
largest number Of plants are in bloom
and are turning brown.
1t should be the aim of every breed
er Of horses to raise well-bred and
well-trained animals.
In the management Of clover for hay
1t is important not to cure too dry, and
to store under shelter.
On many farms, exposure to the
weather Injuries farm machinery fully
as much. if not more. than use.
The offspring of immature, undevel-
oped animals is inferior to that of
matured and full-grown parents.
1t is the steady, quiet horse that can
do the biggest days work when the
weather is extremely hot.-Pointers.

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 a 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 t%easpoonful 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 thoy get a good start there
will be no trouble If the soil has been
properly enriched and proper cultiva-
ton has been carried on.

One of the curious phenomena of the
present day is the agitation which is
being conducted by life-term convicts
for the virtual abolition Of life imprls-
onment, by providing that those so sen
fenced shall be liberated after a fixed
number of years of good conduct.
There are doubtless some life prison
ers who are proper subjects of elem
ency, but there is another class whose
members cannot be out of prison a
week without committing crime. The
public safety demands more and not
less severity to habltual criminals, and
there is grave reason to doubt the dis.
erection of our prison authorities In
permitting and apparently assisting in
this appeal to maudlin sentiment in
favor Of a general Jail delivery.

Thrifty Melons,.

Sow melons in a light rich soil; poul-
try manure produces rapid growth. If
the season Is very warm and moist the
vines may need to be pinched back to
secure early fruiting. Musk-melons re-
quire q 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 first started in a hotbod and
transplanted when they begin to run
to vine.

Six Days Enough.

l have been observing things for
many years and / 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 it and
another with it. The man who gains
by laboring OF Sunday may make the
temporary worldly gains, but will lose
that which is infinitely more valuable
to him than all of this worlds goods.

Within the last few years the value
of a college education in business has
been more widely and vigorously chal-
lenged than at any other time in the
history of higher education. Timidly
and cautiously at first, but more boldly
and detiantly as their Investigations
have progressed, certain men who have
attained large success in the industrial
world have bantered the college pro-
lessor into an attempt to show that
his goods are worth the price. One
prominent manufacturer has gone so
far as to class the college presidents
and professors with charlatans who
obtain money under false pretenses.
There are abundant signs that these
assaults are to have an effect upon the
colleges very similar to that produced
upon the church by the assaults of the
late Colonel Ingersoll. They arouse
the loyalty and zeal Of college men.
They awaken the colleges to the neces-
sity of bringing their instruction into
closer relation with the times and
with the work of life. They develop
n discussion which inevitably results
in a wider public intelligence regarding
the real purposes and aims of college
education, correcting the manifest er-
rors of its assailants and placing the
colleges on a basis where their results
are measured by culture and breadth
Of attainment rather than by financial
or industrial achievement. The most
valuable contribution to this discussion
Is made by the United States Bureau
Of Education in a report which gives
the results of investigations extending
to the lives of 10000 typical successful
Americans. The report shows that "a.
college education gives a man 200
times as many chances of success in
life as that of the common schools and
Is ten times as valuable as a high
school training" The report shows, in
fact, that college men are In the lead
in the various lines Of endeavor COW
cred by the investigation. Even though
it Is shown hat the majority of the
10000 successful men are college grad
yates, it does not necessarily prove
that the college training was the key
to their success. While the statistics
are no doubt interesting and valuable,
it is n safe guess that they will not
disturb the now generally accepted tru-
ism that whether a college education
is an aid to success or not depends
largely upon what a man starts out to
accomplish in life.

Years ago when the weather bureau
vas first established, you often met a
citizen who said "humbug," mon
sense" and waste of money for foolish
ness when the weather bureau subject
was preached. What about it now?
According to the authorities at Wash
irgton, only II per zen of the weather
forecasts are failures. Eighty-three per
cent Of truth is probably more than al
most any other department of the gov
eminent can show. But it must be adj
mitted that the worth of the weather
department is growing, and that it has
become invaluable. Along the great
lakes and rivers the weather forecast
ers practically control commerce. So
much faith is placed in their informa-
ton that ships sail or remain in port,
according TO the intelligence given out
On the great lakes it is seldom that a
great storm finds shipping unprepared,
because the weather man has done his
duty. The farmers are especially ben
Gifted by weather intelligence, and the
faith that the public has in predictions
is shown by the fact that in every
newspaper office the one item that
must appear without fail, in some
fixed prominent position, is the
weather report. Every year there is
development and more scientific ac-
curacy in peering into the future. A
fine policy of the government is the
putting Of competent men in charge of
weather stations, and keeping them
there. Politics should never lay It's
hand on the weather department.
