Egyptian Draughts.

The ancient Egyptians played a
game somewhat like chess. 1t was
called draughts. The two players
sat on the ground or on chairs, and
the pieces, or men, arranged at Ell
ther end Of the table, moved proba-
bly, on a checkered board, as in
modern chess. Egyptian representa-
tions Of the game, always being
given in profile, do not show either
the exact appearance of the board
or the number of squares the same
contained. The game was very pop
ular both in the homes of the poor
and in the mansions Of the rich.
Even Rameses is portrayed on the
walls Of his palace at Thebes engag-
ed in playing the game. - Circle

It is interesting to notice the diff

gars and pipes are held by people.
The writer has travelled a great deal
in different parts Of the world dur
ing the past eight years and has had
a very good opportunity to observe
the customs of smokers in Cuba,
the land where the ladies smoke, as
they do in the Philippines. The
Filipino and the Cuban like to
smoke. No matter how poor, he or
she always has supply of cigarettes
to smoke. As the ladies and chill
dren smoke, too, one can observe
some delicate hands supporting
cigars and cigarettes.
While the ladies do not, as a rule,
smoke pipes in the Isle de Cuba or
the islands of the southern Pacific
ocean, you can see the pipe in serv-
ice in the grasp of females now and
then.
But the ladies of Spanish origin
of Cuba are unique in the man.
aging of the cigars and cigarettes.
They always act as if they thought
the gentlemen were observing the
manner in which they hold their
cigarettes. They like to assume
that they are old hands at it. They
are pleased to make a good impress
sion upon the visitor.
The ladies of Cuba do not all
smoke. There are many Spanish
and Cuban ladies who would never
think Of handling either the cigar,
the cigarette or the pipe. The Amer
lean and ladies of other nationali-
ties in Cuba very seldom smoke.
But there are certain classes of ma
tive born ladies who smoke a great
deal.
They are pleased to begin the
morning duties with smoking and
to finish off the afternoon with a
cigarette. Toward the final hours
of the night, before retiring, they
smoke. Some fall asleep smoking,
and the servant has to look out for
the cinders to prevent the bed

The General Purpose Farm Horse.

The General Purpose Farm Horse.
Many farmers get the idea that all
they have to do is to breed their nom
descript mares to some leggy coach or
hackney to get general purpose farm
horse. We have seen hundreds of colts
from this kind of breeding and must
say that not per cent of them are
even fair specimens of the general pur-
pose horse. while so per cent or more
are failures from every point of view,
writes a breeder in Denver Field and
Farm. We have seen much better re-
suits when the coach stallion has been
a finer and more compactly built one
or when hackney or American trot-
ter of compact, smooth, muscular type
has been the sire. These observations
lead to the conclusion that this latter
plan is the surest one to bring some
measure of success in producing a gen.
eral purpose farm horse.

Consider the individuals.

The keeping of records of dairy cows
may be viewed from two distinct
standpoints-that of the professional
breeder who wishes to sell pure bred
stock ON their certified record of per-
formance and that of the ordinary
dairyman who is selling milk.
From a business point Of view each
dairy cow may be regarded as a sep
arate, department of one undertaking.
1t is an elementary principle Of sound
business to take means of ascertaining
that each department pays-that Is,
that each single individual COW gives a
return large enough to pay for food,
labor, etc, and leave a margin for
profit. Guessing at the total yield. it
will not avail. Memory is too treach-
erous. The total production Of the
milking period must be calculated. SO
as to strike balance with the total
cost Of the twelve months feed and
expense and ascertain the margin-if
any.
There are hundreds Of cows ON our
dairy farms that fail to yield an an
nual profit. This is not creditable.

dairy country should spur farmers to

COLD FEET
This Trouble 10 Due to Detective Cir.
eulation Of the Bleed.

euiAtion 81 the 6iood.
Many persons are seldom really
comfortable as regards their feet,
except perhaps IN midsummer.
Their feet are ALWAYS cold, not only
during the day, but also at night,
especially when in bed. Associated
with this condition we often find
chilblains-not SO frequently in this
country as in England, yet often
enough to warrant few words re-
garding their prevention and cure.
Persistently cold feet are due to
defective circulation. There is a
lack of tone in the blood vessels or
weakness in the contractile force
of the heart, which results in a semi
stagnation in the outlying parts of
the body. The sufferer from cold
feet usually has cold hands as well
and is in danger of having his ears
frostbitten on a stinging cold day if
he does not keep them well rubbed
or protected by ear mitts
One who Is troubled with this
condition should have the feet well
protected by stout shoes with thick
soles, which will keep out the mois-
ture, and if the feet have been wet
there should be no delay in changing
shoes and stockings on returning
home. Overshoes may be worn on
cold and snowy days, but rubbers
should be avoided, except the kind
that cover only the soles of the
shoes, which are sometimes neces-
sary, since waterproof soles are un-
fortunately seldom found on the
ordinary shoe.
Better, however, than protecting
the feet by extra covering is treat
ment directed to improving the To-
cal and general circulation. The
best local treatment is by means Of
water. Night and morning the feet
should be immersed in hot water
for minute, then plunged into cold
water-the colder the better-kept
there while one counts ten slowly
and then rubbed briskly with a
coarse towel until they are thor
oughly dry. They should then be
stroked for a minute or two, with
the hands pressed firmly against the
skin, in an upward direction. This
treatment should be kept up for
long time-a year or two if neces-
sary, until the tone of the vessels
is restored.
As the condition is one of faulty
general circulation, general treat
ment should also be instituted. In
deed habitually cold feet and hands
constitute a danger signal. The suf-
ferers are in a condition Of weak
resistance and are especially prone
to become consumptive. Fatty foods
are usually required, especially but
ter and cream.
If the simple uses Of water that
have been indicated and changes in
diet do not overcome the tendency
a physician should be consulted, for
there is a constitutional fault that
calls for remedy.-Youth' Cempan-
ion.

THE SWlNEHERD.

Have plenty of help in handling the
heavy hogs.
Hogs should be hung until thorough
ing to the cellar.
Pigs showing signs of thumps should
be stirred out of the nest.
Roots and vegetables, together with
scraps from the house, should be given
to the hogs.
One of the best foods for young pigs
Is middlings, says the Farmers Advo-
cate. They will do well on it when
mixed with water. If mixed with skim
milk it is better food, and whey is
superior to water.
Many breeders make the mistake of
keeping the herd boar in small, dirty
pen and provide no yard for him to ex-
ercise in. He should have a strong pen
and yard of about an acre away from
the rest of the herd.
Pigs of about the same age and size
thrive best when confined in yards by
themselves. They look better, feed
better and sell better.
A good rule to follow is to make

too small an area.
Small or weak pigs can be nourished
on the bottle, containing warm cows
milk with little sugar added.
Clean, disinfected yards help keep the
cholera away.
A good hog house means good hog
business.
Additional experiments at the To-
ronto experiment station confirm the
results at the Vermont and other sta
tions-that for young and growing hogs
slightly sour milk is better feed than
sweet
Get the hogs to market when they
are properly fitted. When they get
heavy and do not eat readily they are
fitted. When they get fat and up to a
good weight gain or weight is put on
at an increased cost.
Save your breeders from the sows
that are the best mother.
A quarantine pen is necessary on
every farm where hogs are kept ans
should be made tight Any new hsgs
that come Into the herd should be plac-
ed in it and confined until all danger -

An Oriental Story.

There is an oriental story Of two
brothers, Ahmed and Omar. Both
wished to perform a deed whose
memory should not fail, but which
might sound their name and praises.
Omar, with wedge and rope, lifted
an obelisk on its base, carving its
form in beautiful devices and scul p
turing many strange inscription
on its sides. He set it in the hot
desert to cope with its gales. All
med, with deeper wisdom and truer
though sadder heart, dug a well to
cheer the sandy waste and planted
about it tall date palms to make
cool shade for the thirsty pilgrim
and to shake down fruits for his
hunger.

Hen Manure For Crops.

Hen manure gives good results on
all crops, but probably best on such
plants as make most of their growth
above ground, like cabbage, corn or
grass. Some great results, however,
are reported with hen manure on po-
tatoes. We generally use it on garden
crops and strawberries. The most eff
fective use Of this manure is, as we
have often described, to crush it fine
and mix with chemicals, such as murf-
ate of potash and acid phosphate.
This makes a fair mixture for many
crops. The hen manure is richer in
nitrogen than in potash and phosphoric
acid, and these chemicals give it
good sbalance"-Rural New Yorker.

can be hung up against the fence by
the hooks at the back. Make the rack
of three inch strips and cut the wheel

The Clean Separator.
A separator allowed to run gummy
or dirty may wear out in a year. If
kept free from dirt and well oiled, it
will last several years. One of the OBJ
jections urged against the separator
has been that it would not be proper
1y handled and that one or two years
service would wear the machine out.
Professor E. H. Webster, after visit
ing several hundred farms and inspect
ing as many machines, says that the
farmers, as whole, are taking much
better care of their separators mechan-
ically than was anticipated. Machines
have been noted that had seen several
years service and were still practical
ly as good as new. In few instances
careless operators had nearly worn a
machine out in less than twelve
months. The farmer never bought
machine before fR the use of which
he was so frequently and urgently re-
minded that he must take care of it.
Surrounding of Creameries.
There is a movement in some parts
OF the country to improve the appear
ance of the grounds of our creameries,
says the Farmers Review. The move
ment should receive public support.
Around some of the creameries are to
be found unsightly objects that take
all of the romance out of butter max
ing. Above all things, Danish the
drains that are open to the air and
permit the casein and the other decay
able matter to become a source of Of
fense to the nostrils. Around some of
the creameries have appeared flower
beds and grassy lawns. The effect of
these is to indirectly improve the con-
ditions under which the milk is made
and brought to the creameries.

Field Dodder.

Dodder, or love vine, is a great enc
my of alfalfa. 1t is a Parasitic vine
growing on the stems and taking out
the life and vitality Of even the roots.
The vine intwines itself about the al
falfa stems in great clusters and grows
thriftily or small in exact proportion
to the growth of alfalfa. When the
alfalfa is cut, this vine. appears in dry,
hairy punches about the stems. 1t is
so repugnant to horses and cattle that
it will not be eaten except as last re-
sort before starvation. The best way
to keep free from dodder is to buy
only clean seed. In some cases farm
ers use tanning mills and try to re-
clean the seed before sowing. If the
plant gets started in field, the best
plan to- get rid of it is to scatter straw
over the alfalfa stubble and burn the
entire field. This does not injure the
alfalfa, but kills the dodder and
other noxious weeds.-Kimball's Dairy
