The YOUNGSTERS Way.

A child will begin at noon to nag
its mother for permission to 60 to
an entertainment at night, and
when permission is finally granted
it begins to nag about the time to
start. If the entertainment is to
begin at 1880 the child is ready on
the front porch at 5. Then when it
reaches the place where the enter
tainment is given it squirms around
restlessly for about fifteen minutes,
then drops its head against the back
of the seat, falls asleep and sleeps
till it is over. And when its moth
er shakes it to wake it up she al
ways says, with fine indignation: !:
''There! Didn't l tell you you
would go to sleep? You'll stay at
home next time. .-Atchison Globe.

A Latter Day Knight of Color.

A sister of the Bonsecour order
was walking along a quiet street.
Midway of the block there came to-
ward her a small colored boy be-
tween two others even smaller than
himself. AS he took in the somber
garb he must have realized in some
way the character of the sisterhood,
for he grabbed off the hats of his
charges, barred his own head and
said:
Good ebenin', Charity"

finer courtesy if he had been mem

The Horse Returned.

An extraordinary instance of the
affection of a horse for its old home
is reported from Turvey, Bedford
shire, England. A farmer Of that
place sold horse he had had for
several years to farmer from Han
slope. The horse was taken to Han
slope and was placed in a field for
the night, but after darkness had
set in he broke his bounds and
made the cross country journey of a
dozen miles from Hanslope to Tur-
vey, where his former owner found
him the next morning quietly graz
ing in his paddock.

He "SaIted Her Plenty"

The story is going the rounds
of certain Corvallis drayman
who had an exciting experience
last week with the family milch
COW. 1t appears that this good
man had a quantity of arsenate
of lead cashed away in the wood
shed for safe keeping, and uu-
known to him his wife opened
the package, discovered what she
thought to be the salt, placed it
in convenient spot and in
structed her husband, on the fol-
lowing evening, to ''salt the cow
and give her plenty as she is fall
ing in her milk" The pack
age of salt C) had been placed
beside the feed and the generous
d1ayman ''saited her plenty"
The next morning the COW,
who had eaten the first dose, re-
fused her feed and seemed i'll. A
call was put in for local "cow
doctor' who came, viewed the
animal and prescribed a heavy
dose of epson salts. The medi-
cine was given but the cow grew
worse and second ''doctor'
came and big dose of oil was
forced down the poor brute's
throat. .-: .21s' =: ... "A
In the meantime the second lot
OF feed, refused by the COW, had
become scattered and was greedy
devoured by an old hen and
chickens all of whom Immediate
ly turned up their toes and gasp
ed their last. =.
At this turn of affairs it dawn-
ed on the good wife that possibly
it was not salt that she had fed
! the COW, a. suspicion that led to
explanations all around and
a solution of the chicken tragedy.
A veterinary was at once ap-
pealed to, on behalf of the fami-
ly butter producer, but it was too
late, and the cow died.
Further details can be had by
applying to the genial draymau,
"Uncle" Fuller, whose loss is de-
plored by sympathizing friends
about town.

Test the Herd.
Every day brings tidings of the de-
struction Of valuable herds of COWS be-
cause Of tuberculosis. Why all this de-
struction? Simply because the men
who owned the cattle did not inform
themselves thoroughly concerning the
disease Why should farmers nurse
and coddle this disease, keep it and
hide it and refuse to know the truth,
flattering themselves in weak way
that their COWS are all right?' 1t Is
not an expensive matter to test herd.
If the disease is there, shouldn't the
farmer know it as soon as possible? If
1t presents clean bill of health
shouldn't he be vigilant to keep it so?
1t is Il simple matter. Start clean,
and then keep clean. says Hoard's Dali
ryman. Test regularly every year.
Never take in an animal that has not
been tested. Use diSinfectants, such
as whitcwash and carbolic acid. freely.
Put the King system of ventilation in
the stable. Spend little money to be
safe rather than lose lot of it in
slaughtered cattle. These are all COM
mon sense precautions, just plain COM
mon sense. Some people ask US If we
think the country will ever be cleared
of tuberculosis. Probably not. But it
IS no great thing for any farmer to
keep hiSfarm clear of it, and that will
save him a good deal and the country
little.

SOME fine RECORDS
IN ALFALFA StEO
A Yield of 400 Pounds Per Acre Is
Better Than Any Section Outside
of Salt River Valley Can Show.

The Buckeye country is one of the
richest sections of the Salt River val
ley and the land there Is coming into
notice of late through The fine yield Of
alfalfa. The growing OF alfalfa is mare
easy by good water service and the
fine quality of the fertilizer in the
form OF silt which comes down from
the Aqua Fria and ella rivers during
the periods of the summer rains.
Many OF the ranchers in that section
find that IL pays to grow alfalfa and
cut 1t for seed as the gross business Of
the threshers in that section VIII show.
Some big returns have been received
from the seed, one of the best records
in the country being made by G. c.
Simon according to Irving Hill. pro-
prietor of Hills Seed house, who buys
much of the seed from the Buckeye
country. Mr.. Simon on a four acre
tract averaged over 400, pounds Of seed
TO the acre. Seed sells from IL cents
up so Mr.. Simon's gross profit was
s176 on four acres.
J. b. Wedgworth this year made Il
good record on forty-five acres. Mr..
Hill says that he marketed to him 49,
900 pounds Of alfalfa seed. netting over
$500 OF about s35 per acre. 1t must be
taken into account that the hay left
after the seed is threshed is fine for
winter feed and is not lost. 1t is con-
verted into money in the end through
fattening stock. 1t is not usually mar
keted.
George Hardesty this year maketed
to Mr.. Hill 1000 pounds from ~ acres.
F. G. Millage on larger tract made
an excellent showing. selling $4,000
pounds and besides has $50 acres cut
part for seed and sold 5000 pounds
and besides has two cuttings yet TO be
marketed.
Mr.. Hill has purchased this year
over 10000 pounds OF alfalfa seed from
Buckeye and the mills and grain COM
panies have also made large purchases.

HORSES ARE USED IN CHINA
But They Are Not Numerous Save in
the Principal Cities.

The only places in China where
horses are used 10 any great extent are
Shanghai. Tsingtau, and Tien-Tsin
says a consular report. Australian
''walers." so called because they orig
mate in New South Wales, are the
most popular. These horses are i'm
ported into Shaghai in patches of from
twenty to fifty are well taken care of
on the voyage. and arrive in excellent
condition. and are put into use within
a couple of weeks after arrival. They
retail in Shanghai at prices varying
from $50 United States currency to
$500, or even more in cases Of special
breeds. They appear to stand the eli
mate fairly well, but are not consider
ed to be as strong or as useful as the
China ponies, which are native to the
plains of Manchuria and Tibet
Very few American horses are seen
on the Shanghai market, the reasons
given being that the long ocean voyage
is exceedingly trying on the animals,
that they are not as well cared for on
the Pacific voyage from America as
from Australia, and that they do not
appear to stand the enormous changes
in climate incident to the East. A
certain number of American horses
have gone to China from Manila. but
by far the largest number of horses In
Shanghai and Tien-Tsin are of Aus
tralian origin. Tien-Tsin has also a
considerable number of horses import
ed from Germany, many being brought
there for use by the German troops in
1900, at the time of the Boxer troubles,
and afterward sold for general use,
and most CT the rises in use at Tsing-
tau are either of this kind or Austral-
ians brought from Shanghai.
In Shanghai, Tien-Tsin. and Using

lean horse must not be used in the
Chinese climates for more than two
or three hours driving each day. with
an occasional days rest, when they
remain in the stables. while the China
pony is available at all times and
seems to thrive on what would be an
excess Of work for the foreign ami
