Labor OF the Horse.

Some one has figured out that it costs
on the average only one-half as much
to feed a horse as it does to feed Il
man. and that the horse will do ten
times the amount of work that it is
possible for the man to do. If this
estimate is correct, then a dollars
worth of food given the horse will pro
duce twenty times as much results as
the same amount of money will if eN-
pended in feed for a man. Therefore,
when man dOmeSticated the horse he
immensely increased his own power Of
securing results. When much farm work
is to be done there should always be
enough horses to do it. Farmers try
to ecOnOmize on the number Of horses
and have to leave much work undOne
In the event of hired help being scarce
it is sometimes possible to offset this
lack by increasing the number Of horses
kept. In some parts of the West and
Northwest, declares the Farmers Re
view, the scarcity of help has resulted
in more horses being used. Five are
hitched to q double pillow, and one driv-
er is thus enabled to turn two burrows
at a time and practically double the
work that one man has to do This is
the result of the complete utilization Of

Making Butter on the Farm.
There are two prime essentials IN
making butter on the farm profitable
business. In the first place, one must
have plenty Of pure, cold water, and
then a good enough grade must be
turned out to make and hold custom
ers. The trouble with nine out of every
ten farm homes is they are not equipped
to take care OF milk and cream. When
one goes into this work to make
money, better put up a milk room,
where pure water may be had from
pumping or from & spring. Concrete
floor and walls may now be built as
cheaply as with lumber, and it is a
great deal better than lumber. Don't
stop here. A barrel churn and butter
maker viii be necessary in turning out
uniform product. 1t looks easy
simply separating the cream, churning
till the butter comes, and sailing, and
the trick is done. That is where so
many fail. The cream must be churned
at the right temperature; it must be
neither too sweet nor too sour. Work
ing and sailing butter to secure uni
form color and flavor is a very nice art.
Don't try to learn to do it infallibly
in two or three weeks, but by all means
don't practice ca your customers. That
means loss. 1t is better to wait two or
three months before you seek custom
ers. And, before you ship, find out
how your commission man or private
customers prefer TO have their butter
put up. Sometimes the package means
a difference Of two or three cents a
pound.

Most Gorgeous Burial Vaults-Marble
Efigies of Children.
The escurial in which for nearly three
centuries the Kings and Queens of Spain
have been buried is said to be the most
gorgeous burial vault in the world
1t is an octagonaI chamber, SO feet
across, with its walls, save where the
collins stand, entirely overlaid with
precious marbles. The staircase which
leads to it is Of marble with jasper walls.
The general effect is unspeakably splen-
did. In the midst of this magnificence
are the massive black marble caskets let
into the walls, containing the bodies
themselves. They are all exactly alike,
inscribed simply with the names of the
different Kings and Queens. There is
room for just six more mOnarchs and
theft c0ns0rts.
Of another characted altogether is the
vault devoted to SPANS royal children
princes and princesses. Here white
marble rules. and very charming are
some of the etiigies over the tombs.
The local name for the vault is the
place of the little angels" and though
many of the princes who lie here were
not at all angelic in their lives the i'm

of the statues is one Of spotless purity

will speedily commence to bud off little
potatoes. These may be allowed to in
crease in size until they are about as
big as Il large walnut, when they may
be gathered for the table. It is essen
tial thar the place in which the tubers
are grown should be perfectly dark,
otherwise they will expend their ener-

Loss of Fertility by Leachipp


Land kept constantly as a garden
loses much of its fertility by teaching
A clover rotation is the best preventive
Of this. There should be at least two
or three garden spots on each farm
kept rich enough so that one years ex-
ira manuring viii bring it into the
finest possible condition for garden
truck. If farmers could always plant
gardens on two-year clover sod they
would raise better crops and with less
stable manure and other fertilizers
than they now require. The clover
does much more than furnish green
manure TO ferment in the soil. Its
roots reach down into the subsoil, thus
not only saving and bringing to the
surface plant food that would other
wise be wasted. but also by enlivening
the subSOI, allowing the roots of crops
to go deeper. Clover sod to begin with,
If well enriched, is best for such crops
as cucumbers and melons, that are al
ways most likely to suffer from
drought. If is quite impossible to make
4 good garden crop unless the land has
previously been enriched by a series of
heavy manurings. The fertility lost by
teaching must be constantly renewed

plumpness, hardness and other appar-

few kernels and planted them. From
those few kernels he harvested enough
the first year to plant several square
rods Of ground the second year. the
yield from this planting being at the
rate of more than 100 bushels per
acre, well-tilled heads; the kernels are
large, plump and hard and millers say
it makes good flour.
