We go to France for good horses,
and following is from the Petit Jour
nal Agricole, of France, on how to
feed good horses:
Three meals are necessary and
sufficient, with an interval of four
or five hours between, to keep a
horse in good condition. Oats take
at least two hours to digest, hay
takes three hours, and because it
takes so long to digest 1t should be
given when the days work is over.
The evening meal should be a full
meal, the animal being then at rest
and able to digest its food at leisure.
There should be an interval of half an
hour between the return of the horse
to the stable and his getting his even
ing meal.
TOO much food at a meal or too
long abstinence between meals, fol-
lowed by voracious feedings, is con-
Gucive to collie and indigestion. Ir-
regularly fed, he is given to showing
his impatience by letting his hoofs
play about the woodwork of his stall.
Giving 'refreshers' at odd times is
also bad Remember that both stom-
ach and bladder should never be load
ed in work time, whether light or
heavy work is done. A horse, there
fore, should not be ridden or driven
Immediately after meal, on the
same principle that It ought no. to be
fed sooner than half an hour after
work is over. Between one end of
the year and another a horse con-
sumes the amount of dry heating
food which calls for a special regi-
men to neutralize the excessive pro-
tein consumption that has taken
place. Thus in autumn ration of
carrots given before the evening meal
of oats is good, and so in the spring,
at the fall of the winter coat, little
ground meal is beneficial, mixed
with hay and oats, for the evening
meal. Another maxim much disre-
garded in practice is that the horse
should be watered long before being
put to work, and then very sparing
ly.'

The Family Horse.

The family horse is not what is un-
derstood by coach" horse, though
the latter is usually all that could
be desired for the horse that is to
give comfort and convenience to each
member of the family. The coach
horse, so called, is driven by a regu-
lar hired driver, and If the horse has
style, life and size, he answers the
purpose very well; but in the case of
the family horse. there must be per-
feet safety when each and every
member of the family becomes driver.
The family horse must be sound, kind
and willing, cool-headed and intelli-
gent in an emergency. He must be
safe to leave unhitchel, for a horse
that one can't trust to stand for a
moment without hitching is no kind
Of an animal with which practically
every member of the family can be

Jonah 8. -(Mlssions.)

Passages for reference: Psa. 1877.
]; Prov. II. 10, III Matt. 10. 5-39
The main reference for the lesson
tells us of Jonah's second commission
to preach to Nineveh. Obedient to
his command, his word was with eff.
feet. Jesus commissioned his discip.
les to go throughout all the region
proclalming the truth and telling them
what kind of a reception they might
expect.
The world lies before the church
with the cry for help making a con.
stant appeal. Not one portion of the
world to the exclusion of the rest, but
the whole world, all kinds and con.
ditions, are to be reached and won to
the Master. Educational work and
social reforms are secondary to the
one great work Of saving from sin.
Paul said that he made himself all.
things to all men, If by all means he
might save some. Any legitimate
method of getting at the hearts of
men we are authorized to use, so that
we may get them saved,
Probably there is no means better
adapted to gain an admission into a
new country for the gospel than by
the medical missionary. The story
is an interesting one. Medical mis-
sions deal with the bodies of men and
wopen, and with them in often the
most loathsome forms. but the his
tory OF that work reads like ro.
nance. Many cities and provinces
have been closed to the regular mis-
sionary. till the doctor came and by
his remarkable cures found a way
into the respect and sympathy of the
leaders. The condition of medicine

The heather believe that disease Is

Experience, that grim, practical
teacher, has many a time and oft
proven that the most expensive, most
unsatMactory, most absurd and most
inartistic fence yet invented is that
blot on any landscape called a picket
or paling fence.
Its first cost is always astound-
Ing to the inexperienced because of
the unexpectedly great amount of
lumber necessary to encompass even
small lot. Combined with this is
the eXasperatingly slow daily prog
ress and heavy strain on the bank
account caused by the skilled labor
that must be utilized in it's erection.
And then there comes another as
founding eXpense-the painting. And
after it is all completed and paid for,
what has the possessor to show for

ance of repairs; here picket is gone

Gus, and, oh! how shabby it gets and
what wad of money 1t takes to re-
paint 1t! But still worse than the
practical financial aspect is the mem
tai effect on the general public and
the family.
Low stone, concrete or boulder
walls are by all odds the most beau

plants in in rows from twelve to flf-
teen inches apart. Plants should be
four or five inches in the rows.
Some stable manure ought to be
incorporated with the soil by plowing
or spadlng 1t in. Chicken manure
makes an excellent top-dressing when
It is lightly raked in before setting
the plants. During the growing sea-
son two applications of nitrate of
soda will add much TO the size and
crispness of the bulbs. Wood ashes
will take the place of poultry drop
pings II the latter can not be OBJ
tanned. If the ashes are used they
should be applied as a top-dressing
at the rate of 100 bushels to the acre.
The most important thing after the
plants begin to grow is frequent eUl-
tivation to keep the weeds down and
the surface soil loose. While many
of the other large growing varieties
may be raised in this way the Prize

An Egg.

Seventy-four per cent of an egg is

viding good fresh clear water for
the fowls for best results in egg pro-
1uction.
Fourteen and half per cent. of an
egg is protein. Give feed rich in
protein. Lean meat, fresh cut clover,
alfalfa and wheat bran are also pos
sessed of protein.
Ten and one-half per cent of an
egg is fat.
The shell of an egg is composed of
lime, and it takes considerable to
produce the shell for an egg every
other day. 1T is a drain on the sys-
tenn. and sea shells, air-slaked lines
and fresh cut bone assist the hen
materially in the production of eggs.
Corn will produce the fat necessary,
wheat being preferred to corn in
warm climates. .--Petaluma PoSltry

Poultry and Fruit Growing.

A combination of fruit growing
and poultry raising is especially rec
ommended in a bulletin from the
pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
lure. Locate the poultry houses IL
possible SO that the runs will be in
he orchard. The fowls will destroy
thousands OF harmful insects, thus
greatly beneHting the trees and in
sreasing the prospects for fruit and
he fowls will at the same time gain
great comfort and benefit by the pro-
tecting shade of the trees. Plum
Trees and cherry trees are especially
benefited by the presence of fowls
about their roots. Peach trees will
grow most rapidly and soonest give
an abundant shade.-Weekly Wit

Farm Notes.

A COW that does not eat heartily
will not yield an abundance Of milk.
Never use barbed wire except, per-
haps, one or two strands on a low
hog fence. They are too dangerous
to be used for cattle, horses or
sheep.
There ought to be two step-ladders
on every farm, The one for the
house should be about five feet high
and the other, for the orchard and
outdoor work, about nine feet. Make
the latter yourself, taking the house
ladder for pattern.
One of the handiest things about a
farm is cart made from the wheels
of an old buggy on which is mounted
light frame, constructed to hold hay
or other light material. A pair of
hand shafts can be attached, and
these should be supported by stick
hinged to the handle.
Station experiments show that the
growth OF turnips late in the season
proceeds rapidly as long as the wealth
er is open, and point to the advan-
tage of allowing turnips to remain in
the ground as long as II is practic-
able, especially II the seed was sown
late. If left too long, however, or
until the ground is frozen, the crop
Nill be harvested with more diff
Guilty.
! When wind breaks, In the form of
hedges of straight rows of trees, are
not desirable a group of evergreens
will turn the currents and break the
force of the wind. 1t is we'll also to
note that on the cold side generally

them birch, poplar and willow rank

of all trees and may be planted very

Sheep are excellent foragers, and
can secure a large amount of their
food from certain plants that are of
no value to farmers. but during peri
ods of drought there may be a scare
ity Of even weeds or coarse herbage.
While it is we'll to utilize sheep, In
order to have them consume such
foods, yet there are periods when
sheep should be assisted. II pays

A Point That Brings business.

Here is a good argument for a
country publisher to use while max
ing the weekly rounds of the stores
in his community;
The wide awake country merchant
is rapidly coming to the conclusion
that the best way to meet the com
petition of the city merchant, the de-
partment stores, and mail order
houses is to fight them with their
own weapons. The day when a man
can put in stock of goods and sit
down and wait for business is past.
He has to hustle for It, and advertise
his goods. in order that people may
know that he has what they want.
A merchant who knows how to ad-
gertise never complains OF dull times.
When things quiet down, he adver-
tises little more, and in this way
keeps things moving all the time.

berlin Ears Blllbonrds.

Billboards are prohibited in Ber-
lin, but public advertising is con-
fined to neat pillars on the edge of
the sidewalk at the principal street
corners. These columns (called
"Litfass Saeulen," after the origin
ator) are twelve feet high and three
feet in diameter, the exterior having
an advertising surface of from eleven
to twelve square metres.
In April, 1901, Berlin advertised
for bids for the privilege of these
advertising columns for ton years,
and tho successful bidders are pay
ing an annual rental of 100000
marks ($95, ,O00). At that date there
were 700 columns already erected,
and tho number was at once to be
materially increased
The city may use the interior of
tho columns for storing utensils for
STRENGTHENING and sand for uso in
the streets, for switch apparatus, for
public electric lights and meters for
electric street railways, etc. These
columns, therefore, arc provided with
doors and locks.
All placards must be approved by
the police authorities before being
posted. The city authorities have
the right to demand at any tlmo the
free posting of official notices.
At the present time, as in America,
multicolored, changing, electrically
illuminated signs are much in vogue.
