A pair of registered draft mares
could be made very profitable in
vestment on almost any farm, where
horses are kept. There is no reason
ON earth why nearly all the high priced
sires should be imported from Europe.
We no longer import many bulls, hav-
ing just as fine animals here as there
are to be found in any country. We
might just as well raise our own
horses.

1t is said that buff colored eggs will
keep longer than white eggs, the rea-
son given being that they have a
thicker shell. The Brahmas, Cochins
and their kind lay the dark eggs, while
the Leghorn, Houdan and Spanish
fowls lay the white ones. The flavor Of
an egg is almost wholly dependent
upon the food of the fowls. The finest
lot of eggs we ever saw, and the
largest as well, were the product of a
lot Of Buff Cochin hens.

The black currant is seldom grown
in this country. In England it is con-
sidered the best of all the currants and
the jam made from it is considered q
standard delicacy. We do not know
that there is any reason why it can
not be raised just as well as the other
varieties, though it is a somewhat shy
bearer.

This man thought great deal Of his
wife, and she got fit to keep poultry.
so the hens were bought, the yard fixed
up and great care taken in feeding the
fowls. Still being in the winter season,
no eggs. Wife feeling very bad. Man
goes uptown and buys some eggs and
slips at first one or two eggs In the
nests. Wife, oh-be-joyful; hens begun
to lay. More eggs go into the nests.
Wife brags on her hens to neighbors;
great lot Of hens, and commences to
give her intimate friends some of the
eggs. One day overhauls drawer
where her hubby's clothes are kept and
finds sack of eggs, the sack with the
local grocer's name on 1t. Commences
to smell rat. No more Dragging Oh
her poultry.

1t is one thing to raise big crop Of
clover and another and much harder
one to secure it in good shape. Where
the writer lives one of the biggest
crops of clover ever raised has been
damaged so per cent by the almost
daily rains and by the rotting of the
clover before cutting by its forming
mat on the ground.

Fly time is here and with 1t almost
untold misery for the dairy cow unless
some steps are taken to protect her.
Some dairymen are following the plan
Of keeping their cows in a darkened
basement barn from about $50 a. m.
until shutdown and then giving them
the run Of the pasture during the night
and early morning. While In the barn
they are fed literally with some green
soillrg crop, such as clover, silage,
sweet corn, with the result that so
cared for there is no shrinkage In the
milk yield. The common way Is to
turn them into pasture, good or bad,
as the case may be, and let them stand
punched on some knoll or In some
pond half submerged all through the
heat of the day, and no sensible cow
will run a dividend paying milk fac
tory under such conditions.

On general principles it is always
unsafe to hire tramp for a farm
hand In the first place, they will not
work If they can help it; then they are
almost sure to quit you just when you
need them the worst and are quite
likely to make off with some Of your
property at that Then it is an i'm
position on the wife to take one of the
dirty brutes into the house. No tramp
labor for us at any price.

The west has come to what may be
called a three and four horse type Of
agriculture-the doing of all the farm
work just as far as possible with
large type Of machinery, which re-
quires three or four horses to operate.
The gang plow, the twenty-four foot
harrow, the six foot mower, the three
row cuftivator, the potato digger and
many other appliances represent how
the machine has displaced the hired
man, the horse being more dependable
than the man.

We have discovered two leaks which
explain some Of the economic poverty
Of the masses in our cities. Twelve
hundred and fifty dollars was dropped
into the slot machines Of western city
on one Saturday night. A druggist
in the same city told us on the fol-
lowing Monday that his sales Of cigars,
pop, ice cream and this sort Of stuff
were $50 on the Sunday. No wonder
some people have holes in their stock
ings and have to pawn their overcoats.
This, mind you, is respectable foolish
ness. There is the saloon and gam
bling crowd besides. Poverty comes
as the most natural thing in the world
under such conditions.

Mourning doves, meadow larks and
robins, which are protected by law at
all seasons in the northern states
where they breed, are common game
birds for the southern states where
they winter This is unfair. If it is
right to slaughter these birds for food
in the south, the north, which raises
them, should have the same right. As
matter of fact, it is all wrong to
kill them at all, as each variety does
most valuable work as either weed
seed or insect destroyers.

Its food consists chiefly of insects,

stay for ten to fourteen minutes
at a time under water, searching
the mud and stones for, delicacies

most fascinating little pet, becom-

delight when fed. It's antics are a
constant source of pleasure,

INDIAN POLITICAL. METHODS
Effect Of Education on Redskins Has
Been to Revolutionize Their
Systems.

The effect of education upon the
Indian has been to revolutionizc
politics, and the Indian has taken
to the white mans method; the
campaign committee has taken
the place of the barbecue, and cam
paign literature the place of the
stump speech, says the Kansas
City Journal. The Indian takes to
politics like a mosquito to a
swamp. He, can tell the effect of a
policy upon his people quicker
than a white man, and an Indian
politician, if one can get him to
tell the truth, can make an accu-
rate estimate of the result of an
election long before,it takes place.
The Choctaws, whiie they DO not
show so much rprogressiveness in
|, other lines as the Cherokees, are
the best politicians of the Five
Tribes. e
The Choctaw Indians have
dropped the old Indian campaign,
and now the winning party wins on
a basis that would do credit to any
political machine in the states. 4
regular campaign committee is APP
pointed. 1t has plenty of money.
From the time it is appointed un-
til the campaign is over it devotes
IFS antire time to the campaign.
TAe e~aatest part Of the work IS
compiling and distrii uting cam.
raign literature. Every issue
that is involved in IT, election is
sone over thoroughly and every ar
| gument is answered.: This iitera
ture is printed in English and
/ CHioctaw. The party that has
adopted the new method has won
every election in the Choctaw ma
tor. The party that cHngs to the
old Indian method is defeated. {

Switzerland has long been the
summer playground OF Europe;
but in recent years it has become
the winter playground as well.} In
deed, it's popularity in that char
acter is steadily increasing; and
skating enthusiasts rush eagerly
to a land where they can enjoy
their favorite pastime in bright
sunshine under a blue sky and free
from the fear of an untimely
thaw.
No one who has not experienced
them can fully appreciate the de-
lights of a winter in Engadine.
The clear, dry, frosty air fills even
the idlest visitor with an enthu-
siasm to exercise in the daytime,
and with an overwhelming sleep
. mess in the night time. The pro-
sale business of everyday life ID
forgotten. Ska ting becomes every
mah's most serious occupation,
and the performance of elaborate
figures his highest ambition. He
retires to remote corners of the
skating rinks to conceal his in
I Vulnerable failures; then, sudden
ly, having attained perfection, he
comes forward to be admired of
all men for his intricate turns and
spirals. When he is weary of sol
itarY preeminenee, he can join d
merry band of his fellows at a curl
ing match or take part in a game
of hocky or handy.
But if skating is the serious oc.
cupation of a Swiss holiday in win.
ter, "coasting" is its wild delight
1t is the champagnes at the feast
The long, slow, toilsome climb to
the top of the run only gives j
keener edge to the enjoyment
which follows. To rush down the
long, snowy slopes, shooting sud
den drops, flying at full speed
round dangerous corners on 6
coasting sleigh, is to taste the full
| JOY of living. 1t is the rapture Of
| rapid motion.
And besides the delight of sucl
sports, for the lover of beauty is
| added the wondrous spectacle O
Alpine scenery. Around the lake:
| where the ring of the skates ant
! the tinkle of the sleighbells mak'
4 pleasant music in the frosty air
! the heavy pine woods stand OH
dark against the glittering expan
ses of snow, while far above tn
majestic crests Of the snow-cov
cred mountains are sharply out
lined against the pale blue sky.

salvation Army Il There 70 Lend !
! Hand to Released eConvicts-
Great aid to Nation.

~ - =
All who are seriously interested
in social questions ought from
time to time to find themselves
outside prison gate in the early
morning. There is no more pal
thetic spectacle in the study of
human misery. The Salvation |
Army, officers are there and the
church army stands with them
side by side. There are little
groups Of friends waiting about
in the gray morning until those
who have finished their sentence
step out into freedom, says a. let
ter by Lady Henry Somerset.
The door slowly opens and men
and women come out by twos and
threes, a tragic moment to the on
locker, when husbands and wives
and fathers and children meet
again. Then the Salvation Army
man begins his work, and distrib-
utes cards to them, inviting them
tc meetings, or telling them to
count upon him as a friend if they
need helpefor the difficulty
which stares the prisoner in the
face and looms SO large is how to
get work. There are thousands
Of honest men out Of employment.
Who is to find an opening for the
man who has been in prison2
The Salvation Army officer truly
said that the law gives a man
three months or six months in
| prison to expiate his offense, but
when he comes out he finds that
it is really a sentence for life, and
many and n ny man could tell
the same hopeless tale, of his vain
endeavors after employment, un-
til he clasps the brotherly hand
which was extended to him by one
of these modern Franciscans.
There is a man in London to-
day who holds the keys of one OF
the largest city warehouses. This
man spent more than II years in
prison. He was helped by the Sal
walton Army, and one day, after
many months of weary search for
work, he was engaged on a tenn
porary job. He gave satisfaction
and remained permanently, and
is now in this position Of great
trust. Another man who was Wis
tied in prison, serving his second
term of ten years, although he
was only 43 years old, said that il
was the first time that any mes
sage of any kind from the outside
world had reached him. Directly
his time was up he went to the Sal
walton Army, "and in his graft
tude to u.s." said the officer, she
gave US the only thing he had, his
prison mouse" The rule is thai
if a man in any of the convict pris
, ons can catch field mouse and in
duce it to stay in his cell without
the help of cage he may keep it
, This man had tanned the little an
imal, to which he was devoted
and is now enjoying a peaceful olt
> age in a Salvation Army home
but whenever the former owne
i, comes to London he always Wis
, it's it.

TRAINING AIDS MEMORY.
Brain Should Not Be Overloaded, But
Consistently Filled with
Healthy Matter.

- - t
Many people complain of having
a bad memory, as if it were some
thing they could not help, like a
headache. or some similar ailment.,
After all, there is no reason why
anybody should have a bad mem
ory, says CasselPs. ~
1t is merely a matter Of train
ing, and is, moreover, a matter in
which it is never too late to at
tempt to train it.
For grown-up people many
methods are advocated, all Of
them, no doubt, based on.the prin-
ciple of mental concentration. !,
In young child the faculty can
be cultivated by making the child
describe everything it has seen
in its morning walk, taking care
that no fact is exaggerated, but
that strict attention is paid in
truth TO every delaH.
In the matter of memorizing it
is an excellent plan to let the child
learn one line of poetry a day,
which it should repeat the follow
ing morning, and at the end of a
week it will be able to say seven
lines. ~
The young brain must never be
overloaded with. knowledge, but
allowed to assimilate a fragment
each day.
