THE PRINCE AND THE GENIE.
rhey Enter into Pact That Results
Happily for Both.

Prince Mohamid was sad. And well
ne might be, for the beautiful Princess
5orisande had refused, for the eighth
line, to marry him. So you cannot
wonder that he was mournful.
Slowly and refiectively he gazed
iown into the dark waters that bathed
he base of the high cliff by which the
-oyal castle stood.
All at once he heard rushing OF
wind behind him. Turning. he saw a
horrible giant of immense size bran
dishing great club.

prince, when he had recovered some

in tones that rumbled long after he
had spoken.
Il am minded to be your friend. Do
you want the Princess Corisande for
your bride?'
by the beard of the prophet dol
cried Prince Mohamid.
The genie continued, Then do as
bid you.
You will find in the Mediterranean
sea huge rock that rises almost tc
the clouds Upon the summit a gigan
tic bird has its nest. You will find
there a yellow parchment with three
red seals. Bring it to me. The paper
Is valuable to none but me. and | my
self am forbidden to remove it from
the nest.

you could not set foot on the island

Should you fail the second time, woul'
not advise you to try again, for moth

So saying, the genie vanished a
mysteriously as he had appeared, leaN

had spoken.
While bordering over this strang
happening the prince saw approachin
from the distance a little boat. Whe
it reached the base of the cliff 1t res

No sooner had he secured the paper

In a moment Prince Mohamid was
standing by his castle, rubbing his
eyes to assure himself that it was not
all a dream. Remembering the
genie's last words. he then rushed
away to again plead his cause to the
princess.

mediately moved on Of its own ac-
cord, heading for the open sea.
On and on the boat sailed until the
prince could see on the horizon the
great rock described by the genie.
The boat grounded ashore and he
leaped out.
Not green thing was to be seen on
the island, nothing but the bare rock
rising sheer to the sky. How could
one reach the top of It? It was clearly
too steep to climb.
Perplexed, the prince sat down on a
fat stone, when suddenly he became
aware that the sun seemed to have
ceased shining. Raising his head, he
beheld a terrible bird above him. Its
wings were as big as sails; each wick
ed talon was as long as six fingers; It's
beak was long and sharp and pointed;

GENERAL PURPOSE HORSE.
Best Results Obtained from Medium
Weight Animals.

I get the best results from horses
weighing 1900 to 1900 pounds, writes
a farmer in Orange Judd Farmer
These horses are used for general pur-
poses They must have good action,
be compactly built. something on the
old Morgan type, but little larger.
Such horses are large enough to haul
a reasonable load and can do good
lays work on the average farm They
are useful on the road for light work.
The most useful horses for my gem
eral work are good, snappy crea-
lures.
have but little trouble in breaking
our colts. as we treat them kindly,
handling them considerably while they
are young. We never have any trou-
bic with them when they are old
enough to break. I believe in giving
good care to colts as well as work
horses. In my experience, horse not
properly cared for as a colt does not
develop as early as one that receives
proper attention. Horses should also
be housed IN bad weather ! believe
in giving plenty of good, wholesome
food. Horses should have special at
tention, and the man who succeeds is
the one who. keeps a close eye on the
individuals.

lndlvldual 1oa Houses.

The folly of keeping large nhm-
Der of hogs in a small Enclosure is
shown by the unusual fatality this
season. The old notion that hogs
could take most any sort of treatment
has been responsible for heavy losses
this season. Hogs are subject to
colds and lung troubles. Whenever
we permit them to crowd Into tight
sheds. in large numbers. we are inyit-
ing such calamity. The sensible way
to house either hogs or the breeding
sows, is to build small houses and
scatter them about the fields. With
narrowing sows. each one should be
provided with an individual house. but
with the other hogs six or eight can
bunk In one of these houses very
nicely. Build q half-dozen or more
and try them.

There has never been time in our
recollection when the merchants
and farmers have had a brighter out
look before them than they have just
now. We have never seen the farm
ers more cheerful and happy. There
is but one difficulty facing the mer-
chant and that is, overestimating in
purchasing their fall goods. In this
event they will have to have cut
price sales in order to dispose of their
goods and this, as events have shown,
emoralize and stagnates business.
Because the farmers will have plenty
of money is no reason to suppose that
they are going to spend it all; they
are going to invest it in other ways.
They are going to spend great, deal
of their surplus funds in improving
their homes and in bringing up their
farm lands to a higher state of culti-
vation. The merchants should guard
against this mistake. Let the farm
er, merchant, and banker work to-
gether for the common good, and
peace and plenty will reign supreme
throughout the country this fall.
