Good Care of the Saddle.

manufacturer Of saddles is credited
with the statement that one of the best
of polishes for riding saddles and bri-
dies Is new milk. This should not be
rubbed in the leather, however, until
the latter has been cleaned with slight
ly warm water and soap. Hard-work-
ing stock saddles can be kept in good
condition by thoroughly rubbing with
three parts of palm Oil and one of
neatsfoot after first washing with soap
and water. For the leather lining of
saddles that comes next to the horse
there is nothing so good as neatsfoot
oil. The salt which exudes from the
animals body is very hard on the
leather. Vigorous and protracted rub
bling of the leather is essential, what
ever dressing is used.

Cleaning Drinking Vessels.

Unclean drinking vessels are doubt
less the immediate means of spreading
some of our contagious diseases such
as roup. Roup is disease in which
slime accumulates i'll the mouths of the
fowls and strings out Of their mouths
when they open them to drink. Moth
ing is easier than for such a fowl to
leave slime in the drinking water,
which is then partaken Of be the other
fowls This leads to the fowls all be-
coming quickly affected. AS roup comes
on in the fall very often when we get
the changes in temperature at night,
it is necessary that the drinking ves-
sells be kept clean and every fowl that
shows signs of cold should be taken
at once from the house so that it will
not be possible for her to spread the
disease.

Meat for LAYERS,

One of the best foods for making
hens lay is lean meat. When the sup
ply of eggs fails, stop all other feeds
and feed lean meat or liver, and cheap
meats will answer, and it will be found
superior to anything else that can be
used. Green bone, containing a large
proportion of lean meat, is even better,
provided the fat portions are removed
from the bone.
1t will be found cheaper than grain,
because it will make eggs. One reason
why the hens fail to lay when they
have plenty of grain is that they re
quire change, and meat supplies the
needful. If the hens are fat, give one
ounce of lean meat each day, allowing
no other food for a week or two, and
watch the results.-Colman's Rural
World.

Alfalfa for Hogs.

At the Kansas Experiment Station
hogs were fed on a ration of alfalfa
hay and Kaff1r corn meal. The gains
were Is per cent more on this ration
than upon a ration of Kaffir corn meal
alone, For every bushel of Kaffir corn
meal and 1888 pounds of alfalfa hay,
the gain was 1888 pounds, while upon
Katfir corn meal alone the gain was
7.4S pounds per bushel. 1t is shown
that the hay gave better results when
cut early and that the chief nutriment
was in the leaves, which should be
carefully saved during the process of
harvesting. An earlier experiment at
the same station was tried to deter
mine the value of alfalfa pasture for
hogs The hogs were allowed to run
upon the alfalfa during the summer
and were fed light ration of grain.
After deducting the probable gain for
the corn it was found that during the
summer each acre of alfalfa pasture
produced 776 pounds Of pork.

SHORT METER SERMONS.

Kindness is the evidence of kingli-
ness.
Faith is not built by failing to take
fair account of all the facts.
Convert preachers to absolute sin
cerity and you can convert people from
their sins.
No matter how eloquent the lips,
heaven Is deaf to prayer when the
heart is dumb.
The last person to enter heaven will
be the one whose religion has all been
in the first person singular.
We often talk good deal about the
salvation Of souls in order to escape
service for the salvation of society,
It often happens that the man who
is most particular about his own corns
il least careful where he treads.
If you can keep sweet in a world
whore selfshness is turning men sour
Won are doing more toward its enrich
ing than all the silver mines of all the
ages.

Paws to Raise White Beans.

Common white beans are good
crop for the farmer to grow, if they
are grown under the best methods
GOOd-sized seed should be planted
rather than small seed, and the plant
ing should be after the danger of frost
is past, as the leaves Of beans will not
stand frost The farmer should at
least raise enough for his family
which can easily be done on a very
small strip of land that has been only
moderately MANFRED. This small de-
mand for manure is due to the fact
that bean plant roots have on them
nodules containing bacteria which
gather nitrogen from the air. White
beans need food cultivation, so that
the soil around the roots can be we'll
treated, which favors the development
of the nodules.

Experiments have shown that corn
which is thoroughly dry will not be in
jured by any degree of cold. This,
while interesting, is not as comforting
as it would appear to be, for the rea
son that some confusion may result in
deciding when corn is thoroughly dry :;
and further, corn once dry does not
necessarily mean always dry. If left
subject to a mosture-laden atmosphere.
it will very likely take up enough
moisture to render it liable to injury
from severe freezing

Returned to Use of Oxen.

A Missouri farmer has returned to
the use of oxen on his farm. He says
he finds them cheaper and better than
horses and mules. In addition to hay
ing oxen for general farm work, he
has trained a bull to run Il treadmill
that pumps water, churns butter and
does all Of that kind of work. This
animal beats a windmill or gasoline
engine "all to pieces" and the work
keeps his temper sweet and prevents
him from doing damage with his horns.
Other farmers are watching the expert
ment, and "horseless farms" may soon
be all the rage.

who will highly resolve. who constant

faces to better things.
That prayer is neither the PRAYER of
despair, saying since these things must
be so, let them be So nor is it the
prayer of submission; it is the nraver
of determination, the prayer that wills
the doing Of the yet higher will. 1t is
not crying, l give up, but I go on de-
Hberately, gladly in the way and will
Of heaven.
None can truly pray such a prayer
bllndly. There may be times when it
Is uttered when the voice is choking
with anguish and the eyes are dimmed
with tears, but it is spoken then be-
cause we have learned in DAYS when
the way was plain and the heart was
light that the way of that will was,
after all and always, the best
We desire that the eternal will
should be done because that eternal
will is but the fundamental law of our
universe, 1t is that which moves
through all, through poisoning flower
and dashing wave through elemental
force and human pity and love, that
law that leads to larger life; to fight
against it on any plane Of life is physi-
cal, intellectual, or moral suicide.
The secret of living is in finding out
this will and gladly willing it to be
ours, in discovering the beat and
rhythm of the universe and setting our
songs in tune with it, in learning how
to live not in spite of the universe,
but because We are borne along on it's
tides of full life.
1t may be better to fight against the
universe than to accept it with fear,
but better than either is to learn it's
way, to make its forces our servants,
neither to oppose nor to yield, but de-
liberately to will to live in harmony
with the great tides of life, with the
moral order of the universe
Soon We find that somehow this will
which we call law or nature or In what
ever way we may choose to speak of
it is working out purposes larger than
we had thought is not the arbitrary,
quixotic DEGREES of mighty man in
the heavens, but is the language of IN
infinite love, love that battles all our
philosophy because it surpasses our
experience.
Then how joyously we cry. Thy will
be done. not because we are baffled,
but because it is infinitely, eternally
best. not because it is a law imposed
upon us, but because it is way of life
we discover for ourselves and know
to be the best for earth, the way of
heaven.

Using Commercial Fertilizers.

The pure nitrate of soda, muriate of
potash, super-phosphate or ground
bone, can be used in the garden, but
unless a person has had experience or
handles these very carefully, results
are apt to be disappointing or disas
trOus. Plants Of which the leaf or
stalk are the edible portions must have
plenty of nitrogen, which is available
in the guano and animal manure.
When the roots or fruits are to be
eaten phosphoric acid should be added
in the shape of wood ashes or super
phosphate. Ground bone is too slow In
becoming available.
