Horse TaIk-By Tim

For the combination horse that
does about twelve to fifteen miles a
day in harness or under saddle,
twelve quarts of good oats in three
feeds, and from eight to ten pounds
of hay, given at the night feeding,
should be good sustaining ration.
In addition to this he should oc-
casionly have a few carrots, pota-
toes, sweet apples, etc. A salt roll
or a chunk of rock salt should be
always within reach.
An occasional bran mash with a
pint of molasses should be given
when a days rest or light work can
be had.
Match your farm horses. They
should be alike in size and shape,
but by far the most important part
is that they should possess like
characteristics of temper and dispo-
sition so they will work in harmo-
my.
Horses that stand up to the bit
in the same way will do more work
with less wear and tear to them
selves and the driver than others
not so mated.
Such pairs are more attractive to
look at and will always bring a
good price when offered for sale.
Here is a hint in the fact that
the sale of saddle horses in New
York City alone has been twenty
per cent. more during the present
year than it was last year.
Go down to the stable before
bedtime and see that everything is
all right with the horses. You
may save a good horse by just that
little thing.
More than one horse has been
ruined for life by being made to
mil hard when Young.

THE CAMERA.
Some of the Wonderful Things o.
Which Il Is Capable.

Which II Is Capable.
The camera, which divides time into
thousandths Of second and records
the impressions Of each, makes perma-
nent pictures Of events which pass too
quickly for the dull human retina to
recognize. 1t Is only through tie cam
era that the motions Of the wings Of
flying birds and Of the legs Of swift
running animals have been analysed.
To the camera the fuzzy drivers Of the
swiftly speeding locomotives stand
out clear cut and stationary, while
each flying drop Of rain In the driven
storm is distinct and seems frozen In
its place. The tarpon fisherman. IA
miliar with the first wild leap of the
frenzied fish as 1t casts hook and bait
fifty feet in the air, sees first In the
finished picture the outstretched gills,
the convulsive opening and closing OF
which had escaped his eye, however
closely he may have looked for 1t.
Often the eye of the camera will de-
cipher documents of which the writing
had been substantially obliterated by
age, and l have successfully copied
with the camera the utterly faded pho
tograph Of classmate Of forty years
previous and thereby been enabled to
present to a grizzled veteran like
ness Of his curly haired youth.
Changes in the pigment OF the skin
undiscoverable by the eye appear with
distinctness on the sensitive plate, and
it is said that ample warning OF ap-
preaching disease has been thereby
given.
By means Of the invisible rays lying
beyond the violet Of the spectrum OBJ
jects may be photographed In the dark
ness and, with the aid Of the 80 called
X rays, through substances otherwise
opaque. When from the darkness OF
night and storm the forked lightning
flashes, the camera makes a vivid and
permanent picture Of each fiery trail.
Creatures that travel by night can be
Caught" in the brief blaze OF a mag
nesium charged pistol, the fash OF
which Is of too short duration for the
creature to move or the dull human
eye to recognize the subject.-A. ".

JAPAN A LAND OF COLOR.
Farms of Two or Three Acres Divided
Into Many Tiny Fields.

Farms of Two or Three Acres Divided
Into Many Tiny Fields.
Land is so scarce in Japan and the
neople so numerous that farm rarely
consists of more than an acre or two.
These little farms are divided up into
tiny fields. During the season or the
wear In which we made our journey one
of these fields was filled with sprout-
ing barley. light green in color; anoth-
err field, perhaps the next, with vetch,
a lavender colored, cloverlike fodder;
a neighboring field with o dark green
grass from the seed Of which lamp
oil Is manufactured; another with the
pale yellow flowers Of the mustard.
and scattered here and there fields
filed with what looked like a variety
of lily, some white, some red, some
yellow, but all equally brilliant.
Then to get the complete picture you
must imagine patches OF Towering
azaleas dotting the roadside; towering,
round topped camellia trees breaking
the sky line with frequent splashes OF
bright green; usually In the shade OF
these trees houses with white pasiered
walls and red tiled roofs: about the
more pretentious Of these houses white
~plastered walls, above viii b appeared
q profusion of palms. roses and strange
native flowers. and In the doorways
of the garden walls kimono clad Japa-
nese girls, the kimonos as many and
as gayly colored as the garden that
framed them.
have Travelled in but one other
country that is so gayly colored. and
that was some few years ago, when, In
the company Of number OF other
youngsters and an evil smelling magic
lantern, I used to make frequent visits
to the Land Of Primary ColOrs.-

YOU ARE PAYING FOR GOOD

In overstrained, injured and worn

Grow Winter Oats

The common fault in the South
is too late sowing of oats, so tina
they are neither winter nor spring
The best success is usually haC
from early September sowing, Of
October in the far South. The sol
should have the same careful pre-
paration and fning and compacting
of the surface that wheat demands
for if oats are sown in very freshly
prepared and loose soil they will
winter-kill worse than if the soil
had been we'll compacted by har-
rowing and tramping before SOW
ing. Any of the wheat drills will
SOW oats if they are made very
clean, but if not they will choke
with short straw, etc. Never SOW
less than two bushels per acre, and
if sowing in spring, SOW two and a
half bushels per acre. If sown in
early fall the plants will tiller out
and thicker, but they will do little
of this in spring.
There is no reason why a good
crop of winter oats should not be
grown anywhere from central Vir-
ginia south if the land is put in the
best condition. If sown. after a
corn crop 1 would, after cutting
and shocking the corn, merely disk
the land about three inches deep,
but would 60 over and over it with
a drag harrow after the disk till
perfectly fine. If treated in this
way and tramped and narrowed till
the surface is fine, there will be lit
tie winter killing if the seed are
sown with hoe drill that will put
them in about three inches and
leave burrows to feed into them.
Sow clean seed. If you find
cheat in the crop, it will be because
YOU SOW cheat seed in the fall. The
cheat seed looks like a shrivelled
oat, end with a good fan they can
be blown out, as they are lighter
than oats. But set it down as a
fact that if YOU SOW clean oats and
there is no cheat seed in your soil,
you will never have any cheat in
the crop, for no cheat ever grew
from an oat seed, but always from
it's own seed and no other. Hence
the Importance of getting perfectly
clean seed.
When a man farms light with a
good rotation of corn, oats and cot
ton, with crimson clover and peas
thrown in at every chance, there is
no reason why any farmer in the
South should not get his land up to
the making of 60 to rs bushels of
oats per acre, and find them a very
profitable crop. = BY w. F
Massey, in Raleigh IN. c. Pro-
gressive Farmer.

WRITING LETTERS
BY TELEPHONE,

1t begins to look as if we shall
soon be able to do without the tel
egraph, postage stamps, mail boxes
and letter carriers.
Imagine how convenient it will
be tn sit down at the telephone box
in your office or home, call up
some one you want to commune
cate with and then proceed to write
that person letter which he will
be able to read in duplicate just as
quickly as you can write the words
down. And if that particular per-
son does not happen to be in when
you call he will find your letter
waiting on his desk for him when
he returns, no matter how many
miles away you were when you
wrote it only few moments be-
fore.
More wonderful still, and this by
way of example, the police of New
York may be asked by the Chicago
police to send them the photo
graph of murder suspect. The
photograph is inserted i'll a ma
chine somewhat similar in size and
shape to photograph, there is a
buzzilS of wheels, the photograph
rcvolves rapidly on cylinder and
in five minutes or less after Chicago
asked for the photograph letter
from Chicago is received by the
New York department of police
reading as follows:
Photograph received, excellent
picture of man arrested here.
Many thanks for your prompt at
tentlOn.

ly and the publication of the first.
photographs of the disaster in the
New York newspapers. 1t may be
possible before long to take pho
tograph in Italy or Australia one
day and publish it in New York the
next.
These are only few of the WON
derful new things that are being
done or may soon be done by wire.
Later on they may all be done by
wireless, but science and the inven-
tor have not yet advanced quite
that far.
Sending phvt0s-Aehs h5, wira is
not new. In crude way this was
accomplished several years ago, but
recently an apparatus has been
completed by means of which it is
possible to telegraph photograph
of any kind.
To telegraph picture may seem
very easy once the process is und-
erstood, but to use the telephone
as letter writer and artist for the
instaneous reproduction miles away
of your handwriting and sketches
seems far more complex.
The telewriter does all this, how
ever, and more, too, for if you
wait few moments at the tele-
phone after sending letter over
the wire you may receive an ans
wer in the handwriting of your cor
respondent. Writing the sketches
made with the pencil of the trans
hitting instrument are promptly
recorded in fac-simile by the pen of
the receiving instrument. The
complete instrument consists of
the transmitter and receiver associ-
ated together, so that messages
may be sent to or received from
either end of the line, and the in
struments are connected ty the or
binary telephone line without in
reference with or alteration to the

1t often happens that a
person is born with a weak
heart. Then again dis
ease, fevers, over-exertion,
anxiety, nervousness,
rheumatism, etc. weaken
the heart. The result is
shortness Of breath, pal
pitation, pain in the heart,
or in some Of the nerves
Of the chest or abdomen.
