A HACKNEY STALLION.

as shown in the illustration, which in
dicates in an attractive way the stylish
gait and conformation of the ideal
hackney. The breed is remarkable
for soundness and good constitution,
with great amount Of bone and sub
stance. Cross breeding with native
stock has given good results for both
style and constitution. In this country
the breed is quite abundant in eastern
and northern states. The standard
height of the breed is fifteen and a
half hands, and the range of height is
from fourteen to sixteen hands. 1t is
one of the best all round roadster and
coach breeds.

Keeping the Calf Healthy. .

Keep the calf a little hungry and
eager for more rather than fill it to
dullness. The .endeavor should be to
prevent the beginning Of indigestion,
which leads to securing. Nothing
causes indigestion sooner than over
feeding or irregularity in the quantity,
time and temperature of the milk, es-
pecially while the calf is young, and
absolute cleanliness about the feeding
vessels is essential, with frequent
scalding. If 1t can with certainty be
kept equally clean, some feeding de-
vice which compels the calf to suck its
milk instead Of swallowing rapidly IL
preferable to the open pail.

Information at Hand.

A lady who had gained quite a
reputation in her own community
because of her strict regard for the
quietude of the Sabbath had occa-
sion on a pleasant Sunday afternoon
to walk by vacant lot on the out
skirts of the town. There she per-
ceived a crowd of boys and men
playing SCRUB" with great vim.
She accosted the nearest boy, who
was playing center field, and asked
him, 'sLittle man, what would your
father say if he saw you playing
ball on the Sabbath"
'1 dunno. There he is over there
playin' first base. Go, ask him.

Origin of Dyeing Cloth.

A dog gave US the art Of dyeing
cloth. One afternoon, so many
years ago that the date is of small
consequence, noted man and his
sweetheart went for a walk along
the sands of the seashore in faroff
country. A little dog trailed along
at their heels and, becoming weary
of much love making, finally ran
ahead and went fishing among the
rocks. One particular shellfsh
which he captured and devoured ex-
uded a fluid which dyed the hair
about his mouth pretty purple.
Investigation of this incident found
ed the science of dyeing cloth,
which now gives happy feminine
world the pleasure of Haunting so
many brilliant colors in its attire.

Keeping the Cow Clean.

A Pennsylvania dairyman says: The
secret of keeping a cow clean is in the
stall. Cows should not be tied In a
stable without platform, as it would
be impossible to keep them clean even
If they were clipped. Any farmer
can make platform in his stable out
Of clay or cement. / like clay plat
form with cement gutter. The plat
form must not be too long or too short;
it must be just right for the length
Of the COW. Keep the platform well
Uttered with straw. Clean the cutters
twice day, and cows can be kept nice
and clean.

HAY CAPS WITH CORNER WEIGHTS

splendid foundation for a good dairy
ration, and it does not require heavy
grain feeding to produce large flows Of
milk.
1t might be added that the hay cap
serves equally as well in the curing Of
clover hay. The advantage of the hay
cap is not only valuable in protecting
the hay from rain, but from the sun
as well. The hay can be put up into
cocks when it is green and cured in
the shade, which is better than drying
it out in the sun. Hay cured this way
is more palatable and retains more of
the leaves because they do not become
brittle and break off. The leaves of
the hay are the most valuable part Of
it, and any system that tends to cure
them properly and prevents losing them
in the field is, in our estimation, worth
practicing

Home Churninu,

A barrel or box churn is the best for
the home dairy. When the cream is
ripe, scald the churn and cool to the
temperature Of the cream, which
should be from Sc degrees to "a de-
grees, according to conditions. If
color is used, it should be put in the
cream when it is put in the churn.
Turn the churn SO as to get the great
est conclusion possible. The butter
should come in from thirty to fifty
minutes. After the butter comes
draw the buttermilk, using a strainer
to catch the particles of butter that
may escape with the buttermilk; then
wash with cold water, using about the
same quantity as there was of cream

The Range Horse.

The range horse is disappearing as
a prominent factor in the live stock
industry of Colorado. High prices for
land are partly responsible for this.
Moreover, the past two or three years
have also witnessed very high values
for breeding mares, and many ranch
men could not resist the temptation to
close out The Horseshoe ranch of this
state had 5000 horses on it few
years ago, but this supply has now
been cut down to 1000, states a Col
orado man in Orange Judd Farmer. I
could name other large outfits that
have curtailed operations. Some Of
them are turning to sheep. 1t takes
only a year to mature sheep for market,
while four years are required for
horses.

grown in Nebraska. Every effort
should be made to extend its culture
through all parts of the state. This is

in Kentucky think Taylor ought to
be brought back to Kentucky and
tried. AS there seems to be two dis
tinct systems ofcriminal procedure in
Kentucky. as at present administer
ed, we would like to ask under which
one Governor Taylor, if brought
back, is to be tried? Under the
system by which Caleb Powers was
tried, the defendant is denied bond
He is considered guilty unless prov.
en- innocent. thus reversing the
time honored rule in such cases.
Under this system, the common
wealth furnishes 100000 of the
taxpayers money, with which tc
hire INSCRIPTIONS Attorneys, and
bride witnesses to swear away the
life of the defendant. All rules OF
evidence are construed in favor OF
the commonwealth and against the
defendant. Finally, the jury is
packed with partisans, and conuic-
ton insured.
Now, let us turn to the other sys-
TEN, under which the Hargises, the
Breathitt county assassins, are be-
ing and have been tried. Under
this system, the defendant is never
allowed to remain in Jail longer
than his brother or fellow conspira-
tor can be telephoned to and sign
his bond. The prisoner is consider
ed innocent all the time. If the
Attorney for the State dares to
make motion for continuance, he
is liable to be fined and sent to Jail.
He is not allowed even to have an
indictment re-referred to a grand
Jury. The rules of evidence are
construed in favor of the defense,
and against the Commonwealth at
every stage of the trial. No special
fund is provided to aid the Common
wealth. Contrary to law, the jury
is selected from bystanders, who
are conveniently located, and war
ranted to dcquit, no matter what
the evidence may be, nor how black
the crime. Gentlemen, under which
system will Taylor be tried. if
