ARRIVALS in PALESTINE. :


On the highland to the east OF Es
Salt we see a fine herd OF horses'
brood mares and foals. A littie
farther on, we come to a muddy pool
or tank at which drove OF asses are
drinking. A steep and winding path'
full of loose stones, leads us down
into a grassy, oval plain, a great cup
of green, eight or ten miles long and
five or six miles wide, trimmed with
bare hills from 500 to 500 feet high.
This, we conjecture, is the fertile
basin of FL Buchaia, or Bekaa.
Bedouin farmers are blowing the
rich reddish soil. Their black tent
villages are tucked away against the
feet of the surrounding hills. The
broad plain itself is without sign Of
human dwelling, except that near
each focus of the ellipse there is
pile of shattered ruins with a crum-
bling, solitary tower, where a shep-
herd sits piping to his lop-eared flock
In one place we pass through
breeding herd of camels, browsing
on the short grass. The old ones are
in the process of the spring moulting;
their thick, matted hair is peeling on
in large fakes, like fragments Of a
ragged moth-eaten coat. The young
ones are covered with pearl-gray
wool, soft and almost downy, like
gigantic gosllngs with four legs. But
young and old have a family resem-
blance of ugliness. They are the
most ungainly and stupid Of Gods
useful beasts; awkward necessities
the humpbacked ships Of the desert.
The Arabs have story which runs
thus: what did Allah [Godl say
when He had finished making the
camel? He couldn't say anything;
He just looked at the camel and
laughed, and laughed" But in spite
of his ridiculous appearance the
camel seems satisfied with himself;
in fact, there is an expression Of
supreme contempt in his face when
he droops his pendulous lower lip
and wrinkles his nose, which has led
the Arabs to tell another story about
him why does the camel despise
his master? Because man knows
only the ninety-nine common names
Of Allah; but the hundredth name,
the wonderful name, the beautiful
name, is a secret revealed to the
camel alone. Therefore he scorns
the whole race of men. Henry Van
Dyke, in Scribner's Magazine.

HOW 70 balance the Ration.

Pasture or green feed is of great
value in the feeding Of animals, but
Woodworking horse or mule is
probably better without It. This is
certainly the case with any horse Of
which fast work is required. Some
green feed may be allowed horses and
mules doing slow work, but 1t should
never constitute more than one-third
Of the rough feed. Animals getting
more, II required to do fast or real
hard work, are apt to suffer from a
too loose condition Of the bowels and
collie is not an infrequent result. This
is a fruitful cause of trouble with
teamwork stock
PROFESSIONALLY a section so well
adapted to the growing of so large a
number of legumes, which make eX-
cellent hays and pay the cost of
growing by the addition which they
make to the fertility Of the land
should feed legume hays to its work
stock, but these hays are not salts
factory for horses doing fast work
for the same reason that green feed is
not satisfactory. The corn ration
may be partially balanced with such
hays, but it is quite probable that
better results will be obtained if one
half the long forage is made up Of
corn stoyer or grass hay. IF more
protein is desired than can be OH
tanned from half ration of legume /
hay it had better be supplied by cot
tonseed meal.
Probably the cheapest and best ra-
tion for the work stock of our terri |
tory is made up about as follows:
Seven pounds grass hay or corn |
stover, eight pounds legume hay, ten |
pounds corn and two pounds cotton
seed meal
More than half the diseases of farm /
work stock are the result of inju- |
dicious feeding, and probably fifty |
per cent, Of the other half are due to
bad care and management. Indiges-
ton and collie cause a large per cent.
Of the deaths among farm work stock,
and they are largely the result of
careless feeding and bad manage
ment.
If a change of work becomes necss-
sary, and 1t frequently does on every
farm, care should be taken to prop
erly adjust the feed to the conditions.
It is not uncommon for the horse
owner to increase the feed when a
day Of extra hard work is demanded
of his animal. The opposite course
should be taken. If more is suddenly
required of the muscles, or If a
change is made to work to which the
horse is not accustomed, the feed
should be decidedly decreased and then
gradually increased as the horse be-
comes accustomed to the new work.
\ Never give a horse a full feed on
change to work, nor a change Of feed
when at hard work.-Professor
Massey,

Cnrrots For stock Feedine.

One of the crops you should plant
this spring is a patch Of carrots.
There is nothing better as a relish
and appetizer for horses and cattle
in winter when green food is scarce.
The man without a silo especially
needs them.
Take a piece Of deep, rich, friable
soil, have it broken ten to twelve
iRches deep and worked into the
finest sort of filth. Mark off the rows
twenty-four inches apart and SOW the
seed thickly, in shallow drills, COW
ering not more than one-half inch.
The soil should be we'll filed with de-
caying vegetable matter, but it is not
good policy to use fresh stable manure
unless it can be made very fine and
put out very early. The crop may
be fortified about the same as Irish
potatoes.
An ounce Of seed will plant 200 or
800 feet of drills and three or four
ounces will be enough for the average
farmer to begin with. The young
plants are very delicate, and the first
working and thinning out are tedious
jobs; but after that cultivation is
easy. Keep the ground loose and
mellow and all weeds down, cultivat-
ing shallow after the plants are two
inches high. When they are one or
two inches high, thin out to five or
six inches apart in the row. The
plants pulled up may be easily trans
planted, but whether or not this will
pay depends on individual conditions.
Cultivation should be kept up until
very late, and the crop need not be
gathered until there is actual danger
of freezing weather. Carrots will
keep anywhere Irish potatoes will;
and two or three a day will do much
toward keeping a horse or a COW in
good condition through the winter
months.

why Preachers Live Ionr.

The British statistics Of mortality,
just published, show what we all
knew before, that more clergymen
live to old age than the members of
any other profession. What is the
reason? In part, that they are a lit
tie older in entering their profession
than in almost any other business,
which cuts out, in the statistics, those
that die before twenty-five. Next,
they live a regular life, with no ex-
cesses; and they take moderate
amount of exercise, while mostly pro-
tected against exposure. Then some-
thing may be credited to the philos-
ophy of religion, which tends to an
equable frame of mind.-Independ-
ent.

Dear Sir:-Last winter my mother had
eczema all over her. Could not rest day
or night for the singing, burning, Itch
ing. She tried various kinds Of salves
and ointments but they did her no good
at all. She happened to see Tetterlne
advertised. We ordered one box and tried
It on her arm. 1t did her so much good
we showed Il to our doctor He imme-
dately ordered one half dozen. She used
It as directed twice a day. It did her
80 much good we ordered one dozen
more. After using It several weeks she
was completely cured. 1 can certainly
recommend Tetterine as II Is a sure cure
for eczema. 1 really believe II saved my

Of the grain Spectator.
The illustration shows a plan of a
granary for corn, wheat, oats and
other grain built along practical lines,
and wherever built it has proved
entirely satisfactory. The main fea-
ture Of this house is the lower floor.
The outer walls are boarded or sided
up tight, contrary to the usual man
ner OF building a corncrib. The
house sits abor. three feet above the
ground on oak or cement posts, as
the builder may desire. The floor of
the crib is built Of one by four inch
or six inch Stats placed one and
half inches apart. The interior wall
is built in the same way. This allows
a free circulation of air at all times,
but keeps out all rain and snow.
This, with the elevated floor, makes
it entirely rat and weather proof.
The driveway walls are boarded solid
from the floor down to the ground.
This allows the hogs and poultry to
pick up my corn that may fall
through. 1t is said that corn held in
such a crib not only brings a better
price, but that It does not lose in
weight the same as corn held in the
usual manner.
The crib is twenty-eight by forty
feet on the ground and twelve feet to
the caves. The upper floor will hold
several hundred bushels of small

stalk, and one ear to a stalk means
a smaller yield than when there are
two ears to the stalk; for two ears,
such as II is practicable TO produce
on one stalk, yield more shelled corn
than the one large ear, and hence,
more corn per acre.
The absurd objection to the prolific
varieties, namely, that it is too much
trouble to shhck and handle the
larger number Of small ears, is too
ridiculous to receive serious consid-
Grafton, If it were not that, absurd as
It is, 1t still keeps some people from
planting the prolific varieties. If the
difference in the cost of shocking was
two cents a bushel on an acre yield
ing fifty bushels, the shocking would
only cost s. more for the prolific
varieties, or less than the average
value OF two bushels of corn, whereas
the difference in yield, as shown by
large numbers of tests, is easily six
bushels, or three times that amount.
Moreover, when corn is harvested,
shredded and shucked by machinery,
the cost of shocking is no greater for
the two-eared varieties than for
the one-eared kinds 49, Progressive

Freedom Of the Soul.

The other day a man stood in a
Chicago station with a ticket to Jol-
let in his hand. He smiled joyously
and declared 1t was the happiest day
of his life-not because he was leav-
ing Chicago, but because he was 60
ing back to prison. He had escaped
some months before, but in one of
those little sociological GASES in the
big clty's desert life, known as
Salvation Army meeting, he had been
converted" and he was going back
to serve out the rest of his term.
What is the marvellous spiritual al
chemy of this thing called "conver-

motives into pure gold? This con-
verted prisoner did not enjoy the
mere prospect of going back to a cell.
He did not relish captivity for its
own sake. But in some marvellous
way those years of confinement, of
coarse prison fare and degrading
prison toll, the stripes and cropped
hair-in some way these things paid
a debt to conscience and the receipt
which conscience gave was a pass
port to all the kingdoms of spiritual
peace. Prison walls might mark the
bounds of physical liberty; a cell
might confne the body and chain the
limbs. But there is a mightier free
dom of the soul, and this man had
found it.-Kansas City journal.
