Work In Pie Factory IL ON the

To properly describe the processes of
baking pumpkin pies would require one
skilled in the technicalities Of the art.
This is the way it looks to a mere man:
First, the coarse yellow rind is remoy-
ed, and then the pumpkin is cut open
and the seeds taken out, after which
the two halves are thoroughly washed.
Then husky lad takes sort of cleay-
er and cuts the pumpkin into large
pieces, which are fed into steam
chopping machine and reduced, to small
fragments. These are placed In huge
copper boiler capable Of holding per.
haps twenty-five gallons. After the
boiling has been completed q pasty
mixture Of eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon
and other spices and condiments is
added and well stirred in, and then the
yellow mass is ready to be filled into
the skeleton pies. The crust is pre-

Improvements in Breeding Horses.
Bye. H. Utley.

LII raising norses 1or pront W.
must improve our breeds. In orde
to do this we must begin by prope
mating, and, as this is the slack sea
son of the year on the farm. it il
about the right time to begin figur
ing on the breeding proposition TO,
the coming season.
Look over your mare carefully
and decide what class of horses yor
ought to breed to, then look aroune
until you find the right horse. 1
you cannot find him in your owl
neighborhood, go some place else
and keep hunting until you find
him, and you will be we'll repaic
for your trouble when you sell the
colt.
The first thing to look for in {
stallion, especially in draft breeds
is to ascertain that he is of the same
blood as your mare. There is moth.
ing gained by crossing the breeds
You may sell a cross blood for q
pretty good price, but you can new
er build up good breeding herd
in any other way than to breed in
straight blood lines. ] am firmly
convinced that if this policy had
been pursued for the last thirty
years we would have no occasion to
send 80 much of our good money to
foreign countries every year fol
stations.
am speaking now of draft breeds
When we come to trotting bred
stock, of course it is different pro-
position. If you are breeding strict
ly for speed, there is only one course
to pursue, breed to the best you can
find. But, if you are breeding for
carriage horses, it will be necessary
for yon to use such as the German
Of French coach or English Hack
snay. > - 3s.si.. q. =
r Ithink one of the greatest mis-.
takes and one Of the most common
among our farmers, is the notion,
that because they have an inferior
mare, they should breed her to a
common scrub horse, because the
service fee is low. By doing SO they
are sure to get an inferior colt. Had
they paid five or ten dollars more
for the service of a first class horse,
they would have stood a show of
getting q colt that would develop
into a ho1s, that would sell for
double as much as the scrub. The
difference in service fee is small
matter, and it costs no more to raise
a good colt than a poor one.
When you find stallion whose
breeding and qualities suits you,
look him over carefully to ascertain
if lie has any hereditary unsound-
ness. Ii he has don't patronize him
at any price.
I have found very good rule tc
go by in choosing a stallion is this
if he would not make a first class
gelding, he cannot we'll be first
class stallion.
1t is not reasonable to expect a
horse to transmit qualities which he
does not himself possess.
/ am a firm believer in a great
future for the heavy carriage horse
and would say: If you have high
class trotting bred mare of coach
conformation, and high coach horse
action, breed to a horse Of pure
trotting blood, that possesses all the
fine qualities which we require and
which the market demands.

Cecil Lyon. republican national
committeeman for Texas, visited the
senate gallery q few days ago and
later announced that he had picked
out his seat. ''Yous see, = he said q

Austin for United States senator.
Nobody dared run against me. The
action of the caucus was afterward
duly ratified by the joint session Of

In the March McClure's there is
a note worthy article on the Negro
Question by Thomas Nelson Page.
Under the title of "The Great
American Question The Special
Plea of Southerner," he deals with
the subject in a distinguished man
ner, as the following extracts from
his introduction show:
There are some things so we'll un-
derstood by those who know the
negroes, as to appear to them almost
truisms. For example:
That the white race is superior to
the negro race; not accidently and
because of superior training, but in
herently and fundamentally.
That in certain things negroes
differ widely among themselves: for
example, in temper, character, train
ing, manner, temperament But
that in certain respects, all, or near
ly all negroes have the same race
characteristics; as Indians, Chinese,
Caucasians, and other races have
them.
That the negroes understand by
Social quality" for the most part,
one part only: the right to stand
with white women on precisely the
same ground as that on which white
men stand with them.
That there is a wide difference al
present between the point of view Of
the great body Of the Northerners
and the entire body of the Southern.
ers as to the negro: in this, that
Northerners espouse the cause of the
negroes as race, but dislike
negroes individually, while South
erners do not dislike negroes in
dividually, but oppose them as
race. And that this difference i.
due to conditions and not to basic
principles.
There is another vital fact no
generally known to Southerners
that one of the chief causes, if no
the chief cause at present, of th'
feeling at the North in favor of tn
negro is the violence so often direct
ed against negroes at the South
There is quite as much violenc
against them in some other parts O
the country, in proportion to tn
colored population, as at the South
but for reasons not necessary t
discuss here, this is not taken int
account. The brunt Of the cepsur
falls on the South, and the South O
every account, but especially for it
own sake, ought to put a stop to
with relentless hand, or else max
it clear to the rest Of the world VIII
lit is not done.

Men and women who grow q few
Ane tomatoes In their own gardens for
their own use have long practlced

Pruning Is also practiced' systematical-

tomatoes is not sufficiently remunera-
tive to make pruning profitable. Pro

The radical difference between the

The Man Who Wins.


The man who wins is the man who works
The man who tolls while the next man shirks
The man who stands In his deep distress
With his head held high in the deadly press.
Yes, he is the man who wins.
The man who wins is the man who knows
The value of pain and the worth of woes;
Who lesson learns from the man who fails
And moral finds In his mournfui walls:
Yes. he is the man who wins.
The man who wins Is the man who stays
In the unsought paths and the rocky ways,
And perhaps who fingers now and then
To help some failure t. rise again.
And the man who wins is the man who hears
The curse of the envious in his ears,
But who gees his way with his head held high
Aud passes the wrecks Of the failures by
For he is the man who wins.
