The Farm Horse In Spring.

During the busy spring season Is the
hardest time ON the horse. After sea-
son of comparative rest he must enter
on a few months of hard work. and
there are few things which must be
guarded against now.
How the horse Will stand this strain
of work will depend somewhat on the
kind of keeping he has had during the
winter. Horses that are pulled
through the winter ON eornstalks and
the like will come out In the spring so
weakened that they will not be able
to do a full days work.
There is one point In working the
horses in the spring which every man
should remember Do not try to do too
much ut first. Many get in hurry the
first day and hurt the horses because
they are not used to it and hurt them
SO they do not recover during the whole
season. There is no money In this
Go slow at first, for the horses are not
used to it Especially should you take
this warning f YOU are breaking In a
colt-Natlonal Stockman.

RAILROAD PLANTING.
Hints on Landscape Treatment of
station Grounds.

Station Grounds,
In a lecture delivered last summer at
Chautauqua Lester c. Griffith limited
In very practical manner the applica-
ton of landscape gardening principles
to railroad property. He pointed out
that the station, including both build
lngs and grounds, is focal point
through which the travelling public ra-
dates. TO introduce and direct the
passengers to the town is the control
ling principle In station ground design,
Natural existing features may often be
made most attractive part of the sta
tion parks. A stream, pond or piece of
woodland may be So united with the
rest Of the grounds as to be an intri-
cate part, and that with most pleas
Ing effect.
The materials applicable to railroad
planting need to be hardy ON account
of the dusty and smoky conditions
which they must endure The short
lived flower patch is poor and eXpen=
siye apology for the vastly superior
and less expensive perennial planting
Moreover, with the latter the beauty
of the scene Is with us throughout the
year. Heavy masses of single spe-
eies of plants are more effective than
the mixing of individuals of several
species. These single specie masses are
to be so placed that they easily blend
and together make harmonious
whole, Charming seasonal effects may
likewise be produced.
Aside from having station grounds
and the right of way well arranged and
properly kept for the good of the pas
sengers of the road. they should be so
treated because of the educational in
fiuence eXefted upon the communities
reached by the road. The spirit of re-
gard for beauty and order will be felt
farther than the borders of the line.
Every passenger will carry with him
an impression that will sooner or later
materialiZe in some form of domestic
or civic Improvement. The railroad
thus creates an object lesson for pro
noting good taste in outdoor art aud
for civic Improvement The railroad
not only betters its own condition, but
at the same time becomes u public
benefactor.

Saving an Old Vineyard.

Answering the question how to save
an old, neglected vineyard In which
nearly all the grapes rotted last sea-
son, L. II. Pratt says In Rural New
Yorker: Cut the vines off level with
the surface OF the ground with a saw.
New canes will grow from the crown,
starting just below the surface. AL
low only enough of these TO grow to
furnish the requisite number Of canes
to train on the trellls, rubbing off all
the others MS they appear Tie the new
canes to the trellls as growth advances,
pruning the following year as with
new vines. Plow and cultivate the
ground thoroughly In this way the
vines may be brought back to good
bearing condition In one year. We
have done this twice in our own ex-
perience.

Cranberries at $2S a barrel In Chica-
go Is certainly startling item to those
who in former years have been glad to
get S. during the shipping season. All
through the market season the price
has certainly been very satisfactory.
Unfortunately the greater part of the
profit has been made by the middle
man, who in many cases has more
than doubled his money. The situation
is certainly remarkable. 1t is no doubt
owing to a combination Of the short
crop in cranberries and also In apples.

TOWN BEAUTlFYlNG.
Hints ON Forming an Improvement
Society and Doing Sanitary Work.

Society and Doing Sanitary Work.
The organization of town improve
ment society is simple, says Harper's
Bazaar. A president, secretary and
treasurer are the necessary officers,
and the committees which are appoint
ed may be as many or as few as are
required. 1t Is very desirable to in
terest the town officials and the prom
lnent citizens of the place and secure
their cooperation. The schoOlteach-
ers should be enlisted, and through
them the children may be reached.
The young people also snuuia have n
share in making plans for the town.
The dues should be small possibly So
year, paid in quarterly sums, and in
some places Al promise of two days
work year also Is added, one day be
ing given TO home Improvements and
the other to those of public charac-
ter.
The most important committee, be
cause the one whose work Is funda-
mental, Is that on sanitation. The
members are to investigate the towns
water supply. the public sewers and
drains and the back premises of
houses. The refuse too often thrown in
rubbish heaps Is to be carted away
and destroyed. a place is to be provid-
ed for ash piles and one where gar
bage may be carried by Il public Off
cial and burned. These unsightly spots
should be far from the center of the
town and a thick hedge may screen
the place from the highway. In ali
public places such as the railroad sta
ton. the village corners, the park and
the schoolhouse yards there should be
neat rubbish boxes placed, painted, not
a burning red, as is too often the case.
