We recall an experience of this kind
in country village. At our sugges-

Empty houses were filled with tho
noise and prattle of city children.
Troops of them could be seen racing
across the fields. gatA sring under

greater good came to those who enter

dren received no benefit, for indeed
they did. Little pale, haggard faces

that came to the farmers and villagers
who acted as hosts and hostesseS was
many times greater. 545~
After a few weeks stay the word went

Sturdy farmers and buxom ,matrons,

man of the world, put all at their ease.
AS to him, he swore to himself and to
them that never before had he tasted
anything half SO good. That evening
he went home better satisfied with
himself than he had been for years.
This was but the precursor of many
dinners at the Wenham tat. Milford
was forever sending up something to
serve as the foundation of feast. He
got to haunting the markets looking
for good things. Gastronomy seemed
to have become his ruling passion. But
it was not all gastronomy. Ate, din

they had the most delightful sessions.
One Sunday Milford took them all a1t
to the beach, and after this many liz
tie excursions followed. He began to
plan theater and opera parties and en-
joyed their enthusiasm, which really
was quite contagious.
Well, Of course, there was but one

Milford took Mabel in his arms and

WHEN CAST IRON EXPANDS.
Construction Unsafe Unless Steel
Alone Is Used, Says an
Authority. .['

At the monthly meeting of the Frank
lin institute in. Philadelphia recently
Prof. Alexander E. Outerbridge re-
viewed the result of his recent studies
on the effect Of severe heat on cast iron,
and illustrated the danger Of combining
it with steel in building construction.
He proved conclusively that bar Of cast
iron 16 inches long, after heating and
cooling shows permanent expansion
of about 0.45 per cent, while under 81
liar conditions steel will return to its
original dimensions. ~
Photographs taken after the recent
fire at Baltimore were exhibited, and In
every case the steel skeleton building
resisted the terrific flood of fire, while
cast iron buildings lay in shattered
ruins. One towering steel building, al
though Quilted from top to bottom, was
found to be plump, and the skeleton in
such perfect condition that the building
could be reflnished and occupied again.
Applying the results of his laboratory
experiments to building construction,
especially in the light of the actual fire
tests at Baltimore, the lecturer ex-
pressed his opinion that any com bina-
ton of cast iron with steel in such struc-
lures constituted a distinct fire hazard,
and in future fireproof buildings should
be constructed entirely Of steel. u i,
At the last meeting of. the American
Society of Civil Engineers in New York
also the employment of cast iron was
the subject of unusually spirited con-
demnation. These scientific demon
STATIONS and their proved results are
sure to have very definite effect In
planning future fireproof construction.

Too Much Salt Kills Hogs.

Too Much Salt Kills Hogs.
From time to time we hear abour
hogs being killed as q result Of salt
and brine. One man says that in his VI
cinity the ice cream makers threw out
tho salt from the freezers and the hogs
ate It and died. / Other hogs also drank
the brine from 1t: and died. There is no
necessity Of putting the matter to tho
test. A. little Salts good thing, but
there is no doubt that 4 great deal Of salt
will kill almost any animal. There

is eaten in large auantities.-Farmers'

at Munich believes that now is the gold
en- harvest time for American horse
dealers. The Russian edict' prohibiting
the expectation Of horses from tho

would fetch more than $3.50 or $500 q

70 Avoid; Trouble from This CauSs
Colts Must Be Trained By =
Sensible Method. N M

The cause Of balkinesa Is not always
the same. It IL usually, If not always.
due to Improper handling in one way
or another. It 10 sometimes due 70
putting the colt to = heavy load too
suddenly, before he has learned to pull,
or when he has sore shoulders. To
avoid trouble from this source a writer
in the Gazette suggests the following
plan. The plan that I suggest does
much the same for q horses shoulders
as biting does for his mouth. It &C
customs the shoulders to pressure, and
that in such gradual way that, the
colt trains himself and stands properly
to his collar from the beginning Of his
lessons In harness. This method md
specially useful for the over-willing,
htgh-strung horse not bred for. draft.
Fix q pulley behind the horses stall
or in some other convenient place
about as high as the horses stiles,
then run rope up over another pull
ley and attach q light weight to 1t
sufficient to keep the rope fully taut.
When fastened to the horses single
tree, which is attached to the tugs in
the ordinary way, tie the horse as long
as you safely can and securely. The
weight must be of the ground all the
time. The horse may come back to the
end Of this halter for time. but he
will gradually brace himself to hold
up light weight, as 1t is more COM
Portable for him. This may be put on
the horse at feeding time If nervous
horse and taken OF the first few times
before he has done eating. After q
while. increase the weight, but the
more nervous he is the more gradually
this should be done. When you are
passing by give the rope pull and
put some Of your weight on it. He will
soon brace against 1t, and mind he does
not catch your fingers in the pulley.
II the horse has been badly baked
previously and his shoulders have been
hurt he should have set. OF springs
on his tugs when first hooked to keep
him from jerking his shoulders: II
you have not these take him out in the
yard with rope on his singletree and
pull back on this a. much: or as little
as seems necessary. Then hook him
and back him up little few times.
Study his actions and do not start him
up unt til the right moment. The chances
are, however, that he will have be-
come So Indifferent to the collar and
so habituated to standing up to- it that
he will move quietly off,. ~ r
I would like to make one suggestion
In addition, and that is to fasten, colt
back with two side-lines on his halter
or a leather nose band, so that when
he lunges ahead he will not jerk his
mouth. A colt naturally thinks that
the driver yanks him.. when most OF
the time he does it himself. + .i'As,
