A large sugar refining concern in
Brooklyn feeds its truck horses on
the refuse lnolasses. The molasses
is mixed with their feed, and the cost
of feeding is said to be but "a cents
a day for each of these fine horses,
ranging from 100 to low pounds in
weight, a reduction of 20 to 20 per-
cent in cost from the old system of
maintaining them on oats and hay ex-
clusively.
An experiment tried by this firm on
two rundown horses which had Deen
kept on ordinary rations is said to
prove the hygienic value of the mo-
lasses feed. Their weights were 800
and 925 pounds when put upon the
molasses system, and a great I'M
provement was made in weight and
health. At the end of six weeks feed
ing the smaller had gained 20 pounds
and the other 181 pounds.-American

ErankIin's Last Davs.

Two of the last incidents of his
(Franklin's) life are lovingly re-
membered. 1t was he who intro
duced the motion in the Constitution
al Convention to open their meetings
with prayer. His last public act was
to indite from his deathbed, as presi-
dent Of the Society for the Abolition
of Slavery, noble and touching ap-
peal "for those unhappy men who,
amidst the general joy of surrounding
freemen, are groaning in servile sub
jection," in which the warm heart Of
the aged philanthropist seems united
to the unerring conscience Of the
glorified saint. 1t is fitting that this
beneficient and symmetrical life
should be closed with this large ut
terance of manufacturing.

Corn the Cheapest Fodder.

The average corn yield per acre in
New Hampshire is placed by the gov
enment crop reports at 81 bushels
per acre, the highest | think of any
New England state. In addition to
the amount of grain, we have left in
the stalks or stover food value for
animals fully equal to that in the
grain, or when properly cured and fed
without waste, a value equal TO two
tons ordinary mixed hay.
If a silo is included in the farm
equipment. and young animals and
dairy cows make up the live stock OF
the farm, the entire crop, ears includ'
ed, put in the silo will yield feeding
value in condensed, convenient
form of more than four tons of mixed
hay for every acre so used.-B. Walk

Changes in the weather are hard on
the fowls after they begin to drop
their feathers They need sheltered
loafng place on rainy, windy days,
and they are miserable enough with
out being compelled to roost under
leaky roof.
At this season we look after the
ones that show an inclination to stay
on the roost until after breakfast
There are always few that have lit
tie appetite and have to be coaxed to
eat and take needed exercise. II
there Is ever time when liberal feed
ing of wholesome food Is important, 1t
is while the change Of plumage Is
proceeding. We do not worry about
the birds laying on little extra flesh
at this time.
The males are slower in growing
their new coats than the hens. The
long haclSle and sickle feathers are
not grown in a hurry. 1t is good
plan to keep them apart from the
hens until they finish moulting. The
hens will do better and eggs will keep
longer during the hot weather we may
expect in early fall We find the
mails will do well confined in small
quarters If kept clean.
During the moulting season we
make a thorough examination of our
stock and select the most promising
birds, with view to their laying or
breeding qualities. The culls that are
large enough and other Improbable
old birds we sort out and place In
fattening quarters, and feed for mar
ket. We find it pays to fatten these
chickens, they make better eating and
bring better price than If picked
up and sold without any preparation.

Our Petroleum Exports.

For years the United States has
produced more oil than 1t could con-
sumo, and the surplus has had to find
a market abroad. This has made pc
troleum one Of our most important ex-
ports and prior to 1905, 1t constituted
the largest single item in the state
ment Of the exports of manufactures
In that year, copper, for the first
time, exceeded petroleum in the val
lie Of our exports. The total value OF
all classes of iron and steel manufac-
lures exported is greater by far than
the total of our petroleum shipments
but no single item under the head OF
iron and steel manufacturers is as
large as the item Of Illuminating oil
exported.-Oil City Derrick.

LOST EYESIGHT
Through Coffee Drinking.

Some people question the statements
that coffee hurts the delicate nerves of
the body. Personal experience with
thousands prove the general statement
true, and physicians have records of
great numbers of cases that add to the
testimony.
The following is from the Rockford,
ILL.,, Register Gazette:
DR.. William Langhorst, of Aurora,
has been treating one of the queerest
cases of lost eyesight ever In history.
The patient is o. A. Leach, Of Beach
County, and in the last four months he
has doctored with all of the specialists
about the country, and has at last re-
turned home with the fact impressed
on his mind that his case is incurable.
A portion of the optic nerve has been
ruined, rendering his sight so limited
that he is unable to see anything be-
fore him. but he can see plainly any
thing at the side Of him. There have

UNScoNcIoUS POISONING.
How 1t Often Happens From Coffees

"I had no idea," writes Duluth
man, 'that it was the coffee had been
drinking all my life that was RESPONSE
BILE for the headaches which were
growing upon me, for the dyspepsia
that no medicines would relieve, and
for the acute nervousness which un-
fitted me not only for work but also
for the most ordinary social functions.
"But at last the truth dawned upon
me, forthwith bade the harmful bev-
erage a prompt farewell, ordered in
some Postum and began to use 1t. The
good effects of the new food drink were
apparent within a very few days. My
headaches grew less frequent, and de-
creased in violence. my stomach grew
strong and able to digest my food with
out distress of any kind, my nervous
ness has gone and l am able to enjoy
life with my neighbors and sleep sound
ly o'nights. My physical strength and
nerve power have increased so much
that I can do double the work used
to do, and l feel no undue fatigue af-
terwards.
"This improvement set in just as
soon as the old coffee poison had so
worked out Of my system as to allow
the food elements in the Postum to get
a hold to build me up again. 1 cheer

Postum alone that did all this, for

been but few cases Of its kind be-
fore, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been a great cof-
fee drinker, and the specialists have
decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that for
several years he had drank three cups
Of coffee for breakfast, two at noon
and one at night. According to the
records Of the specialists Of this coun-
try this is the first case ever caused
by the use of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid and
his case IS incurable. The fact that
makes the case queer one is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has been retained. Accord
ing to the doctors statement the young
man will have to give up coffee or the
rest of his sight will follow and the
entire nerve be ruined.-Rsoistsr Ca

Diminutlve Bird Of Prey.

There is a strange little bird, about
rs big as robin, which nearly every
winter brings us. He is generally
alone, like tiny black and gray
hawk in many of his ways, but re-
lated truly to the gentle vircos and
waxwings. He is the northern shrike,
or butcher bird, and he gets a cruel
living by catching mice, and little
birds, which he hangs on locust
thorns, sharp twigs, or the points of a
wire fence, as his little feet, unlike
the hawks are not strong enough to
hold his prey. But he is hand
some fellow, and rarely one may hear
very sweet little song as he sits
on the top of some leafless bush, par
ticularly late in the winter. But gen.
orally he is silent, like the true bird
of prey or at best gives only a rasp-
ing squeal.-St. Nicholas.

A Good Way to Winter Apples.

Owing to the fact that a certain
amount of decay is always inevitable
in storing apples under dwelling
houses, while, worst Of all, the rotten
fruit becomes propagating place for
disease germs which penetrate the
rooms above. aside from a reasonable
quantity wanted for home consump-
tion, they could be kept in a pit or
cave, the more so because this, IL
properly made, will preserve them in
excellent shape, and has the advan-
tage of being the cheapest of any
possible storage construction. 1t
should be built into a hillside sloping
northward, for then the entrance will
be protected from the southwest
winds of summer and autumn, and
though in moist soils it needs to be
walled, in dry ones all that is re-
quired are the upright posts set along
its sides to support the roof. This
should consist of poles over which is
spread a layer of coarse hay, and dirt
thrown on top of that to the depth
of two feet. Ventilation Is secured
and an even temperature best main
tanned by an underground pipe run
from an opening in the floor Of the
cave to similar opening on the sur
face of the ground several rods away.
It should be large enough to admit a
sufficicncy of air and provided at each
end with valves for regulating the
supply; there should also be. for the
exit of air, several flues, the sum. of
whose capacities is fully equal to the
capacity of the pipe, extended through
the roof Of the cave to the open air
above. In this way very equitable
temperature will always exist inside
the cave, for the air as 1t passes
through the pipe will be cooled in
summer, and warmed in winter. 1t is
pleasant to note that such a cave can
be built almost any size desired. Also,
that the apples is less susceptible to
injury from freezing than the potato,
ranking in this respect about the
same as mangels, beets, turnips and
similar root crops. Apples are never
better, juicier, or tenderer to eat in
early spring than when they have
been carried through the winter in a
pit outdoors; indeed they thereby
seem to retain all their flavor and
brittleness intact, making the winter
ing of at least a portion Of ones ap-
pies for home use thus well worth
while. Provided the soil Is porous,
the most required is to dig pit a foot
or more in depth and. having set up
right in the center a box about six
inches square, with holes bored
through the sides, while there is an
opening left at the top to permit ven
tilation, and long enough so that II
will extend above the surface of the
pit when completed, pile the apples
up around it in conical heap; If the
soil is not porous, the next best place
is well-drained spot, where the fruit
should be arranged W....out any dig
ging, on a layer of clean straw. A
generous amount of straw or marsh
hay should then be spread over the
heap, followed by a few inches OF
earth. AS soon as cold weather has
frozen this, further covering oi
straw and earth should be applied, OF
else heavy coat of coarse manure
