CHILDREN DISHONEST AND DIPLOMATIC.

what Importance should be attached to ten
denotes to upright and to the lack of honesty in
the child, and what means are the most eff

done by nearly all children even by those
who later become the most honest, the most

THERE CAN BE TOO MUCH MONEY.

In SO far as an enlargement of the money

ment of the worlds resources 1t is good
thing; but, after every man is at work, when
all the productive forces of society are in full
action, you cannot make the world richer by
pouring money into it.

Some farm writer's have been making
comparisons and have come to the be-
lief that low priced corn is the cause
Of much disease in swine and that
when corn Is high priced we see but lit

corn is cheap hogs are overfed, and
when corn is high they get more SEN

TIERCE, OR TOUCH THE THIRD.
The company must stand in a cir
Gle in pairs, one behind the other. ex-
cepting inyone place, where they stand
three deep. One person stands out
side of the circle, and is on no &C.
count allowed to go within. The OBJ
ject is to touch the third one, wher-
ever she may stand; but when he at
tempts this, she darts into the circle
and takes her place before one Of the
others. Then the third one. who
stands back of her, becomes the OBJ
ject: but she likewise slips into the
circle and takes her place in front OF
some one else. The purs,,cI Is thus
led from point to point in the circle;
for ne must always aim at one who
forms the outside of row of three.

The Draft Hor.e.

The Draft Horse.
The demand for the various draft
breeds has been steadily growing for
several yenrs past. Foreign countries
have not been able to supply this de-
nand by good deal, and this country
is looked to for Its surplus England
and Scotland do not raise enough Of
them to supply the industrial demand,
md they buy some from Belgium.
france and take NIL We have To- spare
at high prices. Germany has no draft
breed, but buys from Belgium, Holland.
France and United States. France
sells chiefly breeding stations, with
duty of $40 on American horses. Aus.
'tria, Italy, Spain, Russia, Australia
and South America have only small
horses. America Is the only country
TINT can increase the supply for ex-
port to supply the worlds markets,
hence the prices must advance as the.
demand continues to increase beyond
the supply Of heavy draft horses.
The American farmer has monop-
oily Of raising draft horses. Only few
countries can produce them, We have
imported the great bulk Of the heavy
draft stations from England, Scotland,
France and Belgium, and as we begin
to mature our high grade American
draft horses we find the whole world
eager to get them. The draft horse is
produced upon the farm and ma.
tured with grain, care and work. We
cannot raise. big draft horses out op the
plains on grass like cattle, but reared
by good care on abundant feed he sells
for more money than any other farm
stock, as he is the industrial horse Of;

Indiana Farmer says: Think Of

prices have been realized by readers Of

In speaking Of the proper time to

Hampshire county producer empha-
sizes the Importance of getting the
fruit from the trees into the storage
house with as little delay as possible.
For that reason he does not attempt
to grade his fruit in the orchard, but
puts 1t into storage, where 1t is quick
" cooled, thus improving its keeping
qualities. The sorting and packing be-
gins as soon as the fruit is all picked

public prosecutor, goes round the cir
Gle and invites each of the company
to accuse the absent one of some OF.
Tense; the more absurd the imputed
crime the better.
This done, the culprit is brought
in and the prosecutor addresses him.
1T is my painful duty to inform you
that, in this open and honorable
court, you have been accused Of
here follows the charge. "Dyeing
your hair" Going to sleep in
church, Wearing green gloves"
Writing poetry" Shooting cats"
The prisoner, having heard the &C.
cusation, makes short defense of
himself and winds up by pointing out
the person whom he supposes to have
made the complaint, as a proof that
no belief need be placed in 1t. II he
guesses right the accuser is sent out

pentence; If not, the next charge is
heard until they are all exhaused.
