Value in Disposition.

Disposition is indicated very large
ly in the brain development, and dis
position means lots of money in a
horse. When l was boy we didn't
think half as much about the dispo-
sition of a horse as we do to-day.
Millionaires, people who are looking
for fancy teams, are willing to pay
for disposition, because they don't
want to have their families, their
children's lives endangered by having
rattle-brained horses, and other men
are looking for good dispositioned
horses because they don't care to
have their fine turnouts, their fancy
wagons broken up by horse that
will get attle-brained.- George Nc
Kerrow, Madison, Wis, in The
CultiYator.

When COWS teats are tender and
they are sensitive and inclined to be
irritable when being MIXED, apply
linseed oil after each milking.
A dairy COW should not be allowed
to wander over a very large. field, as
the energy spent in walking about
will show in a reduction in quality of
milk
Unsanitary surroundings cause.

birds. and more general loss in the
poultry yard than all other causes
combined
We agree thoroughly with any
proper scheme that may be intro
duced on the farm that will be pleas
ant, helpful or entertaining to the
women folk.
Fowls do not require so much
care as an inexperienced person
might think, but the care must be
intelligent and given regularly and
at the right time
Some fowls are better adapted to
cold than to warm weather. Corn is
a cold weather food. Feed more oats
and wheat and less corn as the wealth
er grows warmer.
Set your hens in movable nests.
One advantage in movable nests is
that they may be removed sprinkled
with oil and burned off, if mites be-
come troublesome.
The best possible time to separate
cream from milk is when first drawn,
and while the animal heat is still re-
tanned. The farm separator takes
out the cream before the milk cools
or becomes sour.
No matter how successful you
might be, it is a good plan to never
feel really satisfied. The man with
out some high aim in view is more
than likely to lose a great deal of
ambition which is unworthy of any-
one.

LIGHT in the Stable.

To the absence of proper light in the
stable may be attributed many of the
diseases to which the eyes of horses
are liable. 1t is easy to imagine how
the animal must feel and the conse-
Quences which are likely to be the
result, from our own painful sensa-
lions on issuing from dark place to
the full blaze of the sun. A repeti-
ton of this several times during the
day would be inevitably attended
with most injurious consequences. A
stable ought to be as well lighted as
house, so that this source of injury
may be avoided and also that any
want Of cleanliness may be readily
detected. In stables which have a
proper quantity of light, the shut
ters may be partially closed when
the animals have fed properly and
lie down to sleep. Many animals
stand too long and this subdued light
is more apt to produce droWsiness,
inclining him to repose, during which
time the food is well known to have
the most salutary effect in increas-
ing the muscular fiber and the cellu-
lar and adipose substances. w. r.

A Steady Fire.

During the discussion of the Mad
den bill for cheaper gas, Congress-
man Legage told the following story
of a cook he had once brought from
home with him. She was a splendid
servant, but she didn't know any
thing about gas to cook with, so he
went to the kitchen with her to ex-
plain about the range. So that she
could see how il was operated, he lit
each of the many burners. While
still explaining a message called him
from the kitchen, and he left her
saying, 81 guess you will find that it
will. work all right now, Martha. )"
He didn't see the cook again for four
or five days, then upon entering the
kitchen he said, well, Martha, how's
that range doing?"
TO his utter CONSERVATION she re-
piled, Deed, sir, that's the best
stove I ever did see. The fire what
you kindled for me four days ago is
still a-burning, and it amt even lows

Hints on Breeding Sheep.

AS the result of several years of
experience, the Wisconsin station
publishes the following conclusion:
From the breeding records Of
514 ewes at this station we conclude
that, for such animals and condi-
tons as ours, the normal period of
CESSATION ranges from LA to $50
days after the date of service, and
that more ewes will lamb 146 days
after service than at any other time
There is no appreciable difference
in the period of CESSATION for male
and female offspring in sheep.
There is an apparent relation be-
tween the duration of the period of
CESSATION and the period required for
maturity. Quick-maturing breeds
appear to carry their young for a
shorter period than those breeds re-
curing more time to mature.
Large lambs are on the average
carried in the utero for an appre-
ciably longer period than small or
medium lambs.
Lambs dropped before the Hath
and after the 149th day of preg-
nancy are lacking in strength and
vitality at birth.
Shropshire ewes are more pro-
life than any of the other breeds and
crosses, except the fourth cross of
Shropshire rams on Merino eve
foundation.
From the data presented it is
apparent that twins are the normal
increase for ewes Of the mutton
type.

The BUSY Bee.
Star.

When you eat spoonful Of honey
you have very little notion as to the
amount of work and travel necessary
to produce it, To make one pound of
clover honey bees must deprive g.
600 clover blossoms OF their nectar,
and to do this requires 2,75O000 visits
to the blossoms by the bees
In other words, one bee to collect
nectar to make one pound Of honey
must go from hive to flower and back
2750,000 times. Then when you think
how far these bees sometimes fly in
search of these clover fields, oftener
than not one or two miles from the
hive you will begin to get a small idea
of the number Of miles one Of the in
dustrious little creatures must travel
in order that you may have the pound
of honey that gives them so much
trouble.
1t may also help you to understand
why the bee is unamiable enough to
sting you if you get in its way. When
one has to work so hard to accomplish
so little, it is quite irritating to be
interfered with.-Philadelph Record,

To Initiate a Rooster.

The natural history class had just
begun and the teacher was telling the
boys about various animals. Although
she made her little talk as entertaining
as possible, she noticed that some
members Of the class were not paying
very strict attention. Thinking to re-
vive their tagging interest, the teacher
said: Now, boys, want every one to
initiate the noise made by some ami
NAL. l will give you two minutes to
choose your animals, and then Well
see how we'll you can do it,"
The two minutes being up, the room
was filled with sounds seldom heard
outside a menagerie Squealing Of
pigs, barking dogs, braying Of donkeys,
roaring of lions, twittering of birds and
mewing Of cats issued from every cor
ner The children seemed to enjoy
themselves immensely, with one ex-
ception. Johnny Small sat in utter 81
lence. Teacher noticed his closed
mouth, so when the noise had some
what subsidized she said:
Johnny, why aren't you initiating
some animal? Can't you think Of
any?"
Il am" responded Johnny, quite So
berly. "Sh-sh! I'm lieepin' perfectly
quiet, cause I'm a rooster, and I'm lay

DR.. Martins Helpers.


"The only way you can help is by
keeping very quiet" said Dr. Martin
to the little group of boys and girls
waiting to hear how Miss Edith was
that morning. "She doesn't need bou-
quets now, and you must not ring the
door-bell to ask how she is, but just
keep as still as mice. If she is kept
quiet few days, | think she will soon
be we'll"
Then the busy Doctor drove away
down the street. There were a great
many sick people just then, and he
had little time to talk to any one who
was well. The children whispered
about Miss Edith though they were a
whole block away from her house, and
were sorry they could not see her. On
Sundays it seemed very strange to have
a new teacher in the classroom, and,
though Miss Mary did her best for the
children, they all missed their dear
teacher.
Il don't see how she can be quiet
with all those old wagons rumbling
past" said Nellie, as eight hOofs pound
ed over the paved street. Il wish the
streets were all soft and dusty like
they are at grandpas in the coun-
try.
Il wish they all had carpet over
them" said John. Il guess it doesn't
do much good for US to whisper when
they rattle and bang over the stones"

clapped both hands over his mouth.
'I'ye got a plan" he whispered loud
ly. let's get a lot of that grass Mr.
Richards wanted taken away from his
lawn and spread it on the streets. 1t
won't take us long with our little Wag-
ons."
They all wanted to shout ''Hurrah!"
at that, but they remembered what
the Doctor had said and scurried away
like mice for their little wagons and
WheelbarrOWs in the neighborhood.
Very soon there was a thick, soft grass
carpet in front of Miss Ediths house,
and the children were working like
beavers up and down the street. The
hoofs did not make a great noise after
that and even the heavy wheels moved
softly over the grass.
Here! What are you youngsters
doing, scattering straw up and down
the street?" said a gruff voice, and
there stood a big policeman all shin
ing with brass buttons, and heavy
frown on his face. You'll have to
stop this nonsense at once"

Roy, wiping the big drops off his red
face. please don't talk quite so loud.
The wagons rattle so, and DR.. Martin
said she must be quiet. You won't
make us take it off, will you?"
mo, indeed" SAID the big man,
kindly GO right ahead, and I'll
help"
When the policeman took a big
wheelbarroW and carted several loads
of grass from the lawn the children
said he could wheel as much as dozen
wagons could carry, and the task was
soon complete. DR.. Martin came next
morning ana was much surprised
to find the street SO quiet, until he saw
the grass carpet
Miss Edith is much better, chill
dren," he said, kindly 80 much bet
ter that I have just been telling her
about my crowd Of little helpers

DOG Leads Blind Horse to Water.

Tom, a bull terrier, belonging to Os-
car Thomas, near Setauket, is claimed
by his owner to be the most intelligent
dog in Suffolk County, which contains
some of the best kennels in the East.
Tom is not show animal, but he
has sense and a great deal of charity
in his heart. On the Thomas farm
is a blind horse. The animal was re-
Gently turned out to pasture and it was
necessary to lead him to water. After
he had been led several times it was
seen he never would be able to find his
way by himself
Much to the surprise of his owner,
the dog, who has always been attach
ed to the horse, was noticed one day
walking in front of the horse leading
the way to the brook. He kept just in
front and out of the way Of the hoofs
of the old horse and barked frequent
ly.
The dog waited until he had had his
fill of water and then led him back to
pasture. He does this three or fo3r
times a day. When the old horse,
which went blind this spring, wants
a drink he whinnies, and Tom goes on
the jump for the pasture and attends to
his duty.-Port Jefferson Dispatch to
