The manner of driving or riding
has strong bearing on condition and
we can see every day thousands of
examples to this effect on the streets
anywhere. Given two horses having
the same care, food, etc., both physi-
cally able and performing identical
tasks, yet driven by two different
men-one is always fat, composed,
and tranquil the other nervous,
agitated, anxious, and in consequence
thin and out of condition. What is
the reason? Nothing but the differ
ent handling-lack of sympathy, of
any horse sense Oh horseman's in
stinct in the driver of the latter.
Why is the average livery stable or
riding school horse haggard of eye,
anxious of countenance almost al
ways thin and worn? Not lack of
food nor overwork-just mental
worry and the nervous overstrain
of trying to please lot of thought.
less people, most of whom wholly
lack horse sense and are proud of it.
Do what you will in the way Of care,
etc., the handling the horse receives
has greatly to do with the physical
welfare. Perfect condition is not
mere matter of so much food, so
much water, a warm bed, tight
roof. 1t depends, as does everything
else in life and in our relations with
other men and all beasts, upon the
little things, the unconsidered trihes
and lucky is he who has the inter-
est, the patience, the intuition to in
vestigate closely, to discern clearly,
and to apply intelligently, for he
shall reap his reward in countless
ways, and in various associ ations.- -

ABOUT one half the time is occupi-
ed on some farms looking for tools
that have been mislaid or that need
fixing just when they are wanted.
Figure this out a little, and see if
yours is one of this kind of manage
ment. "a place for everything, and
everything in its place" is better
philosophy for the farm, than for any
other place, because when the farmer
is busy he is buster than any other
man on earth-and his work won't t
wait.

The electrical properties of amber
were known to the Greeks before the
Christian era Electricity takes it's
name from the Greek word for amber
Gilbert in 1000 was the first to employ
the terms electric force" and electric
attractions" In 174S Franklins cleo
trical researches had progressed so far
that he killed a turkey by the electric
spark and roasted it by an electric
jack before a fire kindled by the cleo
trio bottle, and in 1852 by means of the
kite experiment he demonstrated the
identity of electricity and lightning.
The first magneto-electric machine was
made at Paris by Pixii in 1892; the
Grst telegraph line in the United
States was set up between Washington
md Baltimore in 1911; the first sub
marine cable was laid between Eng
land and France in 1850. AS early as
1902 Sir Humphry Davy produced an
electric light with carbon points on al
most the same principle as that now
employed The first electric railway
on the continent of Europe was built
by Siemens at Berlin in 1881, the first
In England was constructed in 1882
and in America the first electric line
was built in 1885.

A Famous Dwarf.

Godfrey Hudson, the famous dwarf
of Charles l., was introduced at court
during the festivities attending the
coronation. BY an odd conceit he was
concealed in a cold pie, the crust Of
which being removed disclosed the
dwarf fully dressed and making his
bow to the king and queen. At the
age of twenty he was eighteen inches
high, but before attaining the age of
thirty he grew several inches addi-
tional Godfrey, like most dwarfs, was
of limited intelligence, but of intense
vanity and large self conceit 1t is as
serted by many scientific authorities
that this is a characteristic of dwarfs.

HINTS IN GARDENING

The early spring table beet from its
very first peep into the light of day
should be forced into such a quick and
healthy growth that it never should
know any hindrance or check until 1t
is ready to be placed on sale or used.
There, is no better time than F,sbru-
airy for starting the hotbed either for
plants or salads. The Increasing sun
and Engineering days are all in favor
of its success. says market gardener.
For cabbage plants sow seed of Jer-
sey Wakefield in flats filed with light.
loamy soil in the latter part of Febru-
airy. Keep In mild hotbed or any
warm, sunny place.
Give a good dressing of fine old COM
post to the rhubarb plants and force
under kegs or boxes covered with horse
manure If you want tender early stalks.
Be sure to put enough manure iii the
center of the hotbed. SO there will be
no sagging.
Poor gardens are expensive In the
end.
Children love gardening. Encourage
them.

GROWING CLOVER.
Early and Thick Seeding A Belief
Based ON Experience.

We have grown clover for fifteen
years. We have had two or three par
tial failures and at least one total fail
ure. We have followed early sowing
all but one season. Then we sowed
during the month of April and failed
completely. Our favorite time to sow
Is from the middle of February until
the 10th of March owing to the condi-
ton of the land and soil, says an Ohio
Farmer correspondent, whose further
views are as follows: We never SOW
when the ground is covered with snow,
as the seed is liable to be punched by
wind or by the water as the snow
melts. We never sow when the ground
is sticky or settled down fiat by the
wind or when the frost is coming out.
The seed will not be covered as it
should be. We never SOW when the
wind is high, as the seed then will be
punched and our crop streaky.
Conditions That Suit.
The conditions which suit us best are
when the ground is bare and honey
combed by frost and when the air is
still, as we usually have it of d sharp
frosty morning. We begin to SOW
early in the morning. soon after day
light, and SOW as long as possible. Just
as soon as the ground begins to get the
least sticky we stop for the day and
wait for the next favorable morning.
The more the soil is honeycombed
the better, as much of the seed will fall
in the small crevices and become COW
cred as soon as the surface crust melts.
The seed that falls on top of the ground
will sink deeper and deeper as the
ground freezes and thaws. Much of
the seed will be covered one-half to
one inch deep by the time it starts to
grow This gives it deep root from
the start. The plant is then able to
withstand a good deal of freezing and
Try weather. BY the time dry wealth

summer, the plant is able to get its

Royal Roads.

People will discover at last that roy
cl roads to anything can no more be
laid in iron than they can in dust; that
there are, in fact, no royal roads to

were it would that instant cease to be
worth going to-I mean so far as the

estimable in terms of price, for there
are two classes of precious things in
the world-those that God gives us for
nothing-sun. air and life, both mortal
life and immortal. and the secondarily
precious things which he gives US for
Il price. These secondarily precious
things, worldly wine and milk, can
only be bought for definite money.
They never can be cheapened. No

The Tip of the Alligator.s Tail.

A great delicacy in Florida, accord
ing to the Cleveland Leader, is the tip
of an alligator's tail. 1t tastes like
frogs legs, though a bit more gamy.
Alligator tails are best just after the
ricebird season. The big alligators
float in the water with only their eyes
showing. When they see flock of
these fat, juicy little birds they dive
to the bottom Their long, wide snout
scoops up some of the loan, and they
float to the surface again with just the
rich soil showing. The birds think 1t
is an island They aiight upon it.
When the whole family is there the big
reptile turns suddenly. Just as the
birds scramble off he opens his mouth
once. They are gone. The birds are neat
little feeders, and the alligator is an
epicure at this time of the year. The
ricebird diet makes the tip of his tail
of which he is most vain, tender and
sweet.

Here are instructions from an expe-
rienced gardener for obtaining good
crop of onions with the least possible
labor: Sow early in March in cold
frames. Good varieties are Adriatic,
Barletta White, Prizetaker, Southport
White Globe and Red Wethersfeld.
Seed can be sown in shallow drills
four inches apart. The seed must be
well covered and the soil pressed firm
ly with board. Keep the frames clos
ed till the young onions appear and
then give an abundance of air on al
favorable occasions, bearing in mind
that the cooler they are kept the stur
der the growth.
Keep the surface soil constantly stir
red about the young plants and al
weeds removed. Water thoroughly
when needed.

American boys of an inventive turn

American boys of an inventive turn
OF mind should be encouraged by the
recognition of Charles f. Fielding, of
Newport, RI, whose homemade
wireless telegraph apparatus interfered
with the workings of the Government
plant at torpedo station. Uncle Sam
has taken the youngster in charge and,
instead of drawing S14 month as a
messenger boy, he will now receive
$35 month and board as third class
electrician in the navy. Bright boys
are always in demand; so too, are
bright men.

A LrrrLE PLANT HOUSE.

en-, as Farm Journal remarks in figuring
a little house that just fills the bill for a
place to start all kinds of garden plants.
The plan of the house is sufficiently
shown in the cut A little stove can be
used to keep up the needed warmth at
night, or a small hot water heater can
be put in, with pipes running along be-
meath the bench. ~
The seeds should all be sown in boxes
in order that the latter may be turned
end for end, as the sun draws" the
plants toward the light. The house
should face little east of south and
need not be more than six feet wide
with such length as is desired. Have
some of the windows made so thai
they can be opened; then the room may
not be overheated at midday.
