A Beverage That Keeps the Youngsters

After milk, hay tea is beverage that

it did not originate with me; Learned
it from an old COW man who was most
successful in rearing calves, anu he
attributes much Of his easy success to
the hay tea.
The hay is put into a tank or cash
boiling hot water is poured over it and

PREPARE FOR COLD WEATHER

that, with this arrangement, it would
be impossible for the inside entrance
to get clogged with dead bees or ice.
There would be no damp corners in
the front part of the hive. Air could
reach the cluster direct, no matter
what side of the hive they are in
and the whole front of the hive could
be cleared of dead bees and filth at

The arrangement of the vestibule
shown in the illustration, comments
the editor of Bee Culture, while per-
haps not showing the exact arrange
ment mentioned by our correspond
ent, we should consider excellent.
1t is not entirely clear whether the
bridge covering the entranceway from
the inner hive to the outer casing is
on a level with the cover, or just bare
ly above the entrance. We should
consider that it would be better to
have it elevated about 8 inches above
the entrance SO as to make a sort of
inclosed vestibule. This arrangement
would catch the air currents, catch
any dead bees any time they accu-
mulate, and at the same time to a
great extent shut out the direct rays
of sunlight on bright day.

Many a good driving horse has biz
years of usefulness cut short by beins
in the hands of an incompetent person
One of the most common ways to IL
jure good driving horse is by driving
him hard in cool weather and after
heating him up allow him to stand in
the cold unblanketed. A horse driven
until sweaty should never be permitted
to cool off in the cold atmosphere
Blanket him or put him in warm
stable The neglect of such precau-
tons has ruined many valuable

Collie Cure For Horses.
A good collie cure if given in season
is two tablespoonfuls sweet spirits OF
inter and a tablespoonful of laudanum.
1t is wise to keep a staple article of
collie cure always on hand. Attention
TO food and drink will prevent this
trouble in most cases. Salts are good
laxative, and linseed oil also. 1t is
much better to correct this trouble
with small doses in the beginning than
to wait until a powerful dose is neces-
sary and run the risk of inflammation.
A bitter tonic is often needed by both
COWS and horses. Dried and powdered
poplar or cherry bark is as good as
anything that can be used. As an al
tentative sulphur is the simplest rem

Breaking the Colt.
1t is a mistake to allow ineXperi-
enced men, young or old. to give a
well bred colt his first lessons in har-
ness. A good colt breaker is very
valuable to any stock farm or any
community where highly bred trotting
stock is bred and raised. There is
greater danger Of running colts that
develop speed rapidly when young
than those which mature slowly. Many
a promising race winning prospect has
been ruined for life by injudicious
handling when young.
Feeding Farm Horses.
In feeding farm horses to secure the
highest efficiency let the aim be to Sc
lect roughage materials that are nu-
tritious and wholesome and at the
same time free from mold and dust
with the proper supplement Of corn
or oats or other home grown grain
materials. When this practice is fol-
lowed you VIII get efficiency and the

the next house and senate, and his
friends claim that he will have
enough votes to give him one of the
nominations.
When the legislature convenes a
caucus OF the Democratic members
will be held and two candidates for
prison commissioner will be nominat-
ed. The Republicans then will hold
caucus and also put up two candi-
dates. With the legislature Demo-
cratic, as Il seems practically certain
to be. the nominees of the Democratic
caucus will be elected to the places
on the prison board by the legisla-
ture voting in joint session. Interest
viii attach mainly to the caucus Of
the Democrats and it viii be in this
caucus that the fight will come.
How many candidates there are Is
question. Usually there are four
only. two combining against the
other two. In the approaching con-
test Mr. Brown and Mr.. McCutchen
will stand together and will have the
advantage of the others. Both are
popular men and they are in office
and are good politicians, so that they
will be in better position to handle
their strength. In many of the legis-
latiye races which have been decided
Mr.. McCutchen and Mr.. Brown have
nominated their candidates. The
prison commission race has had much
to do with the result in some OF the
counties as is usual.

TURPIN AND DUvAL OUTCOME.
Twentieth Century Highwayman
Makes OId-Timers Seem Amateurs.

One highwayman out in Yellowstone
park was able to hold up on less than
seven stage coaches, one after another
in quick succession, without encoun-
tering in any Of them a passenger
reckless enough to make the slightest
attempt to save his own pocketbook.
The lone bandit worked his will on
them all, and must have broken the
previous record in this particular line
of endeavor.
Most of these passengers, doubtless,
were fasteners, or at least urbanized
folk with as little familiarity as liking
for guns and pistols. That they adj
mitted the cogency of the highway
mans argument is not so surprising,
but on all these stages there must
have been at least few men who
were more or less to the manner
trained and who had both seen and
used firearms. These ruder persons,
however, were as submissive as the
rest, and an exploit as remarkable as

Primitive Man.

A stone ak, beautifully polished and

near the bottom of a shell heap, on

The tree was cut down years ago, and
it was in digging out the stump that
the shell heap and stone ak were dis
