PAINTING STABLES.

In making arrangements to paint

well, and drab is lasting. Avoid
green's, they are sure to fade, and
nothing looks worse than a streaked
and faded green. 1t is just as import
ant to display a little taste in paint
ing and general farm decoration as 1t
is to breed uniformity in live stock.

The best tonic for live stock Is
plenty of good, wholesome food, pure
drinking water and lots of fresh air,
but the air should not come through
cracks in the stable. The kind of air
that live stock gets in this way is
too cold. There are more shivers in
airs that comes through cracks than

A Gruelling Ride.

I When. some time ago. former
President Roosevelt succeeded in
making a military ride of ninety-six
miles in a single day he was justly
regarded as having performed no or
binary feat. President Roosevelt is
still comparatively young man, and
it was hardly to be expected that any
but a young man would be able to
equal or surpass him in long-distance
riding. However, a siyty-fve-year-
old gentleman. DIR. ]. A. Throckmoy-
ton, of Sidney, o., has far outdone
our famous and strenuous retired Ex-
ecutive. DIR. Throckmorton in one
day rode three horses in relays from
Sidney. through Piqua, to Troy, o.,
twenty-one miles and return, three
times, or 126 miles in ALL The actual
time in the saddle was twelve hours
and thirty-six minutes On the day
of his long ride. DR.. Throckmorton
weighed 1870 pounds. Before start
ing on it. he prayed for protection
and guidance, and to this he attri-
'bntes his success. The doctor was
born with the instinct to be soldier,
and takes much interest in cavalry
affairs. When a mere boy he served
as scout for the Union Army in the
Civil War.-Leslie's Weekly.

WHY / LIKE THE MULES

Because he is the most tireless
worker on the farm. He never gets
excited in heavy pull. He eats less
than a horse, but does more work.
He is always as good as cash in the
bank. He never falls through hole
in a bridge. and generally keeps OUT
of Danger. He is an excellent saddle
animal if you know how to saddle
him. His feet stand hard roads better
than those of a horse. He is more
intelligent than a horse. He is never
in love. but attends strictly to bust
ness all the time. He is never sick
but cnce. and then he dies. But who.
ever saw dead mule since the war?
He never stops to fight flies as a
horse does, because his hide is tough
err. He is just as gentle as a horse
IL he has not been spoiled in break
ing. His age cuts little figure in a
sale; nobody cares much how old a
mule is. He will bring from $3.50 to
$3.50 when he is full grown if he Is
big and smooth and strong.-Jacob
Berg, in the Indiana Farmer.

FARM NOTES.

One can, overstcck in farming tools
as well as in anything else. and that
farmer is fortunate who knows just
how far to go.
The same amount of feed given to
poultry will make more money than
when fed to any other kind of domes-
tic animal.
The amount of land between tho
two fences on an ordinary highway
is sufficient to grow crops enough to
pay for an improved road bed wide
enough to carry the traffic.
No off season with poultry. There
should be an income from the poultry
yard every day in the year, cut the
winter months are built especially fo-
the busy season.

Five Gored Walking Skirt.

The plain gored skirt is always a
satisfactory one, and just now it is
in the height of style. 1t is especially
well adapted to walking and it is es-
pecially to be commended for the
street costume and for the odd skirt.
This one can be made with inverted
pleats or habit back and is shaped to
give snug fit over the hips, with the
slight flare at the lower edge that is
required by the latest fashion. The
side cores are. fitted by means OF
darts and the skirt will be found an
admirable one for the heavier wash
