HUNTING WILD HORSES.
A Favor1te Sport in New South Wales
How Animals Are Broken.

HOW Animals Ale DIOkeu.
Whether "'brumby" is a survival of
the aboriginal name for a wild horse or
a corruption of unbranded" appears
to be question which philologists have
left undecided, but brumby hunting is
still a aavorite sport in New South
Wales.
Districts like the Clarence ana Ste
phens ami Manning river watershed are
still the ,hOme of numerous drowes of
brumbies, and hunting them is declared
TO be a very exhilarating pastime. The
first step taken is to stake out a corral
and make all secure except a Narrow en-
trance, which can subsequently be gated.
On either side of the entrance and pro-
jecting from it funnelwise a bloody
fence" iE prepared.
To the simple minded brumby ii pre-
sumably docks like a stockade. and
pieces OF fluttering cotton make it look
impregnable. When this is ready the
young bloods, we'll mounted, gallop out
and round up the wild horses, driving
them with shouts and much loud snap
ping Of stock whips toward the mouth
of the funnel.
In a group Of brumbies there rs al
ways a Reader, and when,O the hunt
ers have got the leader heading for the
corral theysare pretty certain of the rest
of the dove The futtering cottoDPags
of the sham fenceaare sufficient to deter
the brumbiesf from breaking through the
fimsy barriers, aud in less time than it
takes to tell the wild horses are safely
cOrralled and the big gate shut on chem.
Then thsyaareI left for four and twenty
hours without food and water to reflect
on the situation, and fter that they
can be broken in ,Mithout much difficulty

CLEvELAND-THE COMMoNER.
He Was Fond of Old Clothes, Simple
Life, and Was Unaffected.

Of all the heterogeneous celebrities
whom it has been my business to meet,
l have never known one as simple and
unaffected as Grover Cleveland. lie had
absolutely none of that veneer of vanity
which makes most great men ridiculous.
He was the only Democratic Presi-
dent since 1861: and no career in Amer
lean history had been more triumphant
and sensational than his; yet he contin-
ued to the last to be as supplemented
and as ready to listen to the small talk
of the people, as though he had spent
his life raising chickens on a bush farm.
The older he grew, the more attached
he became to the simple life of the coun-
try. He was fond of old clothes and
loose slippers and the soft grassy earth.
Once he told me with great gusto how

ferred his farm to the white house."
He had no aristOcratic misunderstood

Every man was a man. to Grover Cleve-
land. The richest individual had no
glamour; and the poorest had no smudge
iii his eyes. One morning, while he was
debating an interview, a very ragged
tramp came up the patti to the house.
Mr.. Cleveland opened the door, listened
to the mans story, and sent him away
with half a dollar and good luck to
you"
"Who is that man. papa?" asked little
Dick Cleveland, who had been romping
in the hallway.
''That is a poor man out of a job,
Dick" replied his father He is long
ing to walk back"

Notes About the Farm.

The hens ought to have a little grair
every day all during the summer.
Feeding heavily on whole corn has
a tendency to induce hens to become
broody.
| Try to ARRANGE to give each horse on
the farm a three weeks vacation on
grass.
Keep the stables and the yards clean
so that flies and insects have no ,breed-
ing places.
Beets or mangel wurzels make fine
food for pouItry. They should be
chopped fine.
DO not fail TO provide a shelter ayn-
der which the young chicks can scrsrry
in case of sudden storms.
Boiled eggs should never be fed tn
very young chicks and should never
be fed more than twice a week.
The poor COW seems to be continual
lY with us. Get rid of her and thus
reduce the cost of production.
Keep the milking stable darlzened
and screened, and spray the COWS
every day. 1t will pay in dollars and
cents.
The man who starts with little
money in the dairy business is likely
to make the most in the end. for he
must be careful enough to acquire the
habit.
Glover is a very valuable feeding
crop, because it contains so much of
the element of protein, which is the
element in feeding crops that costs the
most.
Acidity in milk is incipient decom-
position, and it is the most delicate
favored oils which suffer first of ALI
among the fats OF which butter is COM
posed.
Evehy successful breeder has some
hobby. some originality that leads him
to improve some particular character
istic of his cows and improve them in |
some one particular point.
Never dose a healthy horse. All he |
needs is good care and good feed. The |
good care includes, of course. regular
exercise. 1t is just as bad for horse
% be all the time taking medicine as it
S for man. Do not do it.

QUEER WEDDING EFFIGY.
Mock Attention Paid by Brides Party
to Bridegroom's Relatives.

There is a curious custom still preva-
lent in the Bellary district of India in
connection with the wedding ceremonies
among certain Brahmin families.
Just prior to the close of the feasting
q hideous effigy of male figure, fan
tastically robed in rags, supposed to
represent the bridegroOm's father, is
carried along the streets in procession
under the shade of a sieve adorned with
tassels of onions and margosa leaves.
Every few yards during the procession
the feet of the effigy have to be reverent-
ly washed and its forehead decorated
with caste mark by it's living spouse,
the bridegroom's mother. The bride
groom's other female relatives have sew
eral mock attentions paid to them by the
women of the brides party.-London

OuININE IN ITALY.
State Sells 1t and Uses the Profit to
Fight Malaria.

The sale of quinine in Italy is carried
on in a peculiar fashion. The government
sells the drug to the peasants in malari-
Gus districts and then uses the profit to
fight malaria.
The first aim is to protect the peasants
from mosquitoes. But it is almost I'M
possible to get them to take care OF the
wire screens which are given them for
their houses.
AS for their wearing wells and gloves
when they go abroad, as they are urged
by the authorities to do, anybody who
knows the Italian peasants can guess
how many of them will do it.
The government has therefore to de-
pend chiefly on draining and filling up
the pools where mosquitoes breed and on
what is called boniicamento, or the i'm
provement of the land in various ways.
Last year the government sold to the
peasants about 100000 worth of qui-
nine, with a net profit of about $4,000

Children's Fishing Contests.

Five hundred children irons Sheffield.
members of the Rechabite lodges and
bands Of hope, have had their annual
outing and fishing competitions at Eek
ington, Derbysbire. This is the sixteenth
year of the competition, which began
with thirty-two children. The children
pay -halfpence week, and each
child received a prize worth s shillings 3
pence, while the thirteen who caught
fish received extra prizes proportionate
to their catch. The catches ranged in
weight from quarter of an ounce to
ounces.-London Standard.

A Help in Fraft Pickin.

In commercial orcharding it is geali
orally most economical to have piek-
ing and packing work going on concur
rently. This saves putting the apples
on the ground and having to handle
them again. A portable sorting table
upon which piekers can empty their
bags is placed ON low truck wheels and
a single horse can move 1T to any de-
sired point as the work proceeds. It
should be made large enough to hold
not less than two barrels OF fruit.
The rear bolster is higher than that
at the open end, so that the culls can
be rolled out A long, heavy plank is
placed on the ground on each side of
this table on which the barrels are set
for filling. The culls are allowed to
roll into a pile from the lower end of
the grading table.

Potatoes snd DaJrying.

Potatoes are a crop that is swell
| adapted to most farms where dairyine
is being carried on. They come at the
time of the year when the dairy work
is not pressing, and outside of digging
they are as easy to handle as the same
number of acres of corn. When we
buy large amounts Of commercial feed
stuffs and mill feed the amount of fer
tllity removed by selling the potatoes
is more than offset by what is brought
on the farm by buying grain food for
