Her father had spent fortune on her

Horse Talk.

Many colts are given ugly tempers
by cruel and careless currying.
To scratch and hurt colt or horse
will cause him to hate the operation
and the operator.
Many currycombs are knocked all
out Of shape, and some Of the teeth
cut like knives.
Look at your currycomb. 1t is often
an instrument Of torture.
Teach the boys to use 1t gently and
keep II In order.
Be generous In the use Of the
brushes, but sparlng in the use OF the
comb.
Good grooming should be done every
day to keep the pores open, the skin
healthy and the hair silky. Soft hair
is very warm and Is nonconductor OF
heat.
Never leave reeking mess OF wet
straw and manure under the horses.
It ruins the health and eyes and is
disgrace to any horse owner.-Farm

LATERAL HEAD GATE.

stem Is a round steel rod threaded and
the lower part piece of band steel
welded to the rod. This fat portion Is
imbedded between the boards OF the
gate and fastened with bolts. The
gate is operated by means Of cast
iron hand wheel, held In place by two
cross timbers, which In turn are sup
ported by posts resting on the box.
The special nut, attached to a chain
and locked prevents the gate from
being raised beyond fixed point, yet
II does not prevent the gate from be-

SAND ROADS.
GSv These Highways May Re Kept
In Good Condition.

Kew These Highways May Re KeDs
In Good Condition.
A sand road Is In Its best condition to
sustain traffic when 1t Is moist and IL
no other treatment can be given 1t
bushes and trees should be grown
along its sides to shade 1t and keep II
as moist as possible, says the highway
commissioner Of Maine. To this end 1t
ia desirable to have sand road GO
wider than is actually necessary to ac-
commodate the traffic. Only slight
bitches for carrying away surface wa
ter should be provided.
A good treatment for sand ROAD Is
to excavate the center Of the road with
the road machine about six inches
deep. making the bottom as even as
possible. Then spread layer of clay
eight inches deep in the excavation
taking care to have all the clay OF one
texture and Of even thickness, as any
variation in the texture Of material or
in thickness of same will result In
rough and uneven surface, due TO soft
and yielding places. After smoothing
the clay and tamping it or rolling 1t
about two inches of sand should be
spread upon the surface. This may be
narrowed in and then the surface roll
ed, or 1t may be left for the travel to
work into the clay. After the sand has
united with the clay more sand should
be spread upon the surface. Gradually
the clay will become saturated with
sand. and a hard, smooth surface Will
be the result, which will give excellent
satisfaction.
Sand roads may also be temporarily
improved by covering the surface with
single shavings, sawdust or tan bark.
Dead leaves, meadow hay or straw will
also afford temporary relief. If grass
can be grown on the surface OF the
road 1t will strengthen 1T materially,
the roots of the grass acting as bind
er for the particles Of sand and keep
ing them from shifting about and
working on one another.

Voting In Paris.

"In Paris only one-fifth Of the voters
20 to the polls and cast their ballots"
said an American who has lived In
Paris as a business man for several
years past "This is not because they
cannot vote, but because they do not
care to. Everybody In the city Is In
terested In politics, but when the time
to vote comes few care to go to the
polls. The man who wins Is most
often the man who promises every
thing. For instance, in my district
last time a man was elected VINO
promised to put new shed on the
market. / know Of another deputy
who was kept in Office fifteen years be-
cause he promised to add an extra sar-
dine to the daily rations OF the sol
diers. There are so many soldiers that
that made big difference. They did
not get the sardine, but he continued
to promise and kept Office. "-Washing'

SOUTHERN LANDS.
Turn Under Grass and Stalks to En-
rich the Fields.

Turn Under Grass and Stalks to En-
rich the Fields.
Some practical advice as to the treat
ment of cotton fields is given by South
ern Cultivator In stating farm condi-
lions In the south as follows:
The excessive rain has cut our crop
short this year and reduced our income
from our 1908 crop many millions OK
dollars. We have some compensation
in the amount Of vegetable matter
grown In our fields II we will not burn
IL off. but turn II under to rot and add
humus to our soil. We think the grass
upon the average acre Of southern
lands worth as much as 200 pounds OF
guano. or 1920 per acre. If burned
the ashes will not be worth more than
% cents per acre.
Use a Stalk Cutter.
Instead Of thinking about selling
your cotton stalks or burning your
cornstalks use stalk cutter and cut
them up so they will not interfere with
the cultivation of your next years
crop. and turn under all the vegetable
matter you can. Where you turn I'M
der good supply Of grass and stalks
acid phosphate alone will pay you
much better than a complete fertilizer
ON your clean land. Do not bum your
grass or strip your land Of stalks, for
II you do you are simply robbing your
land and securing a penny In hand
where you would get dimes In return
another year This penny wise" ana
pound foolish" policy has already
wrought enough injury to our southern
farmers
Plenty of Humus Required.
There can be no true or high degree
of success in farming without ricn
land. So quit robblng your soil ana 90
all you can to enrich 1t, and start Dy
turning under all the vegetable matter
YOU can. There can be no rich or high
" productive soil without plenty OF
humus in 1t. Humus Is correctly de-
scribed as 1.-THE life of the soll,' and
our southern cotton fields are calling
loudly for this life.

The Wnssail Bowl.

Some Of the old English fashions or
keeping the day have become obso-
iete. Drinking from the "wassail bowPS
was one of the popular ways Of merry
making. The head Of the house would
assemble bis family around bowl OF
spiced ale called the wassall bowl, the
name being derived from the ancient
Saxon phrase "wass hael," meaning TO
your health" And after drinking to
their long life and happiness the bowl
was passed that all might share It,

fungus Is that the vegetative part, or
mycellum, injecting these spots of the
pods grows through the husk into the
seed. Frequently 1t grows entirely
through the pod, forming similar spots
on both sides. When the fungus grows
into the seed. brown spots may be
formed on the surface. In the worst
cases half the surface is frequently
discolored and the seed adheres to the
pod. These areas are much more strlk-

Rescue Grass,

This grass was planted In OCTOBER,
and the mere fact that 1t remained
green throughout the year would GER
talnly prove of some interest to the
farmer in South Carolina.
The seed should be put in drills. IL
