We must depend on the farmer who
will raise at least n few horses each
year in connection with other lines of
live stock production and grain grow
ing for our supply of horses. The
small farmer who does not have land
enough to keep mares for breeding
purposes exclusively should aim to use
mares for work purposes and breed
them. This will cause some incon-
venience in getting the farm work
done, but more healthy norma, colts
are produced in this way than when
the mares are allowed to run idle. If
the mares are worked they will not
suffer from lack of exercise, and the
foal IS more apt to be grown properly
the first summer.-Professo w. B.
Richards in Farmer.

THE GUINEA FOWLS.
There Seems to BE Growing Market
For Them as Table Birds.

There Seems to BE Growing Market
For Them as Table Birds.
1t seems that guinea fowls might we'll
be bred in the United States more ex-
tensive1y than is yet the case either
along with other poultry or in larger
numbers by themselves. The varieties
have been improved in recent years.
Judging by the best available data
guinea fowl and chicken at moderate
prices yield about as much actual nour-
ishment as medium cuts Of beef, NUT
ton and pork and are fairly economical.
But at fancy prices they are directly
comparable with such expensive meats
as fllet of beef and French lamb
chops. OF course if they are eaten on
the farm where they are raised, and
especially if they have found most of
their food, they are evidently an eco
nomicaI kind of meat On the other
hand, it must not be supposed that as
sold in city markets their price is nee
essarily prohibitive. Families that can
can we'll afford guinea fowls at ordina-
~ prices and will find that they give a
very pleasant variety in the meat list
The demand for guinea fowls in city
markets has recently increased consid-
erably, perhaps quite largely on ac-
count Of the more stringent game laws
now in force, and the price has in gen
eral advanced considerably. Whereas
a pair formerly sold in New York at
80 to 90 cents, they now bring from 90
cents to $1.25 or more-C. F. Lang

CAUGHT ON
II TRESTLE
An Odd Experience Which a LS0
Proved q Dangerous
One.

Caught on two miles of treStled rail-
road built over deep water with a gale
blowing off Lake Superior, an Illinois
man had the oldest experience and the
narroWest escape from death that falls
to the lot of man, says a correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Enquirer, writing
from Momence, Ill. The man was G. S.
McNicholls, and his home is in Mo-
mence. Recently McNicholls had bust
ness with tribe of Chippeway Indians
III an Indian village near Bay Mills,
Wh1tefish bay, Lake Superior Bay
Mills is connected with the Duluth,
South Shore and Atlantic road by a
two mile spur from Brimley, thirteen
miles west Of Sault Ste. Marie. Most
Of this road is stilted on piles driven
deep in the bay. 1t is two miles across
the bay, but it is eight miles by wagon
road around to the village. Bay Mills
is now practically an abandoned town,
and the running Of trains has stopped,
so that one must foot it across the tres
tie or drive around.
An ingenious Chippeway, however,
himself and the mail across the bay.
1t is a push car, such as section men
use to move ties and rails over q Sec
ton of road. This car must not be
COMPOUNDED with a hand car that is
equipped with propelling machinery
and a brake A push car is nothing
more than wooden frame and floor
on four iron wheels, but it is heavy.
The red mail carrier rugged the car
with big sail, and when the wind was
right he had no trouble in covering
the distance at a good clip.
McNicholls happened to land at Brim-
ley in time to travel over with the mail
messenger. He was required to spend
whole day with the Indians, and it
was nearly dark when he started back
AS he approached the trestle he look

another friendly lift, but it was no.
where to be seen. 1t was getting dark
er and darker, and he was barely able
to make out the cross ties that he had
to feel with short steps. There was a
gale off Lake Superior. The water I'M
der the trestle was dashed into a fury,
so that the waves beat high above the
rail timbers. McNicholls was feeling
his way and holding on to his hat, when
he thought he heard queer noise. Di-
rectly he imagined that he could make
out queer looking object. 1t seemed
to be three cornered specter riding
astride of the trestled track. Then it
all dawned on McNicholls. He knew
that the Chippeway mail carriers car

Preventing Grasshoppers.


To secure immunity from attack the
eggs of grassh0ppers should be destroy
ed in late fall or early spring. These
are usually laid in compact ground, es-
pecially along roadsides and in the un-
cultivated borders of fields. Bare, high,
sandy ground and closely grazed pas
ture land is especially resorted to for
egg laying. The female forces her az
domen into the earth for about an inch
and at this depth the eggs are laid in a
mass of about thirty in pod-like
cavity
FAN blowing to a depth of eight or
nine inches will effectually prevent any
of the young hoppers from reaching the
surface when they hatch in the spring.
Thoroughly narrowing infested land in
late fall, so the surface is torn up to
the depth of an inch or two, will break
open most Of the egg nests and prevent
Matching. Disking the land in early
spring before Matching time will accom-
plish the same purpose. The insects
hatch from about the middle of April
until the middle Of May in Ohio, de
pending on the latitude and on the for
wardness or backwardness Of the sea-

was out in the wind and that the sailor
had not the remotest idea that any hui
man creature was in the way.
-Four inches from each rail there is
six inch stringer fastened to the
cross ties. The stringer was flush
with the ends Of the ties, and that was
all the passing room that was avail
able on either side. McNicholls took
a long breath and sent out a yell that
echoed above the roaring of the wind.
Then came an affrighted voice from the
contrivance with the big wing. To Nc
Nichols the thing looked like an on
coming white devil. 1--WE can't STOP"
the voice said. "Stand on the stringer,
and the car will clear you"
McNicholls jumped to one side, near
~ topping over into the bay as he did
so. To look again was to reveal an
other horror. He had taken the wrong
side, for the boom, that looked like a
telegraph pole in size, swung out from
the car and threatened to sweep him
from the trestle even if it did not break
him in two. 1t was too late to take the
other side. McNicholIs instinctively
dropped fiat on the stringer, hooked his
toe on the inside, leaned out as far as
he could do so and yet hold on and then
shut his eyes,
The next instant the wind whirled
car shot by him as if it had been flung
out of cyclone. The wheels caught
the side of McNicholls' foot and leg
and peeled the cuticle almost to the
hip, but he kept his senses and rolled
over into the middle of the track.
McNicholls says that he wasn't able
to walk until he found out who it was
that had the car out on such wild
race. If the Indian had been aboard
he could have controlled it, but two
half grown boys who had found the
car on switch conceived the wild idea
of taking advantage of the stiff breeze
that was blowing to have a great ride.
