CARING FOR HORSES.

Dark stables and stalls cause many
horses to shy, according to Miss Ethel
Money, an English horsewoman who
Is now in this country. Horses THUG
kept do not see anything when they
first come out of the building, and
shying thus becomes a habit. "Un-
less a horse is quiet and happy in his
stall something is radically wrong"
Miss Money also says. Like our
selves, horses are sometimes restless
and dissatisfied with their quarters,
and then it is needed often only to
change their stalls to remedy this
fault.
"The more water horse drinks and
the more water he has to drink the
better. 1t is a mistake to water
horses only three times a day. 1t
has been proved that most horses
would rather go thirsty than drink
out of a dirty bucket.
"If horse has a thin coat or is
off his feed the chances are fifty to
one that he is not getting water
enough. Chicago News

some places the tree is wreathed and

Rise of Modern Liberty.

1t was in the town that modern
Democracy had it's rise. Despite all
the efforts of the kings and barons to
prevent it, the spirit of liberty began
to assert itself in the larger towns in
the shape of the charters which guar
antee to the people certain CONNER
cial and political rights; rights which,
once obtained, were never to be sur
rendered. Before the middle of the
eleventh century there were many of
these Chartered towns which pos
sessed the right of electing their own
magistrates, sheriffs, judges, and reg
ulating their own taxes. The wretch
cd serfs from the country were well
coined by the townspeople, and aided
to larger freedom. These free towns
were first known in Spain, from which
country they slowly spread over Eu-
rope. The burgesses naturally Of
fered protection and freedom to all
who would flee to them from the feu-
dal estates, and thus, slowly but sure.
ly, the good work went on until the
ancient despotisms were destroyed.

Prof David, who occupies the chair
of geology in the University of sgd
ney and who accompanied Sir Ernest
Shackelton to the Antarctic, has been
making some interesting remarks on
his discoveries there. The fossil
woods he had found showed that pine
forests had flourished in the vicinity
of the South Poe at remote geologi-
cal epoch. The coal seams ne discov-
cred suggested the same conclusion.
At that time there was more or less
continuous land from Australia to the
South Pole. The climate all over the
world was at that period probably
much milder than at present.-West-

AIR PUTS LIFE IN SOILS.

Our best farmers are mindful OF
the fact that the soil should be so cul-
tivated that it will admit of some cir
culation of air 1t Is we'll known
fact that there is not seed which
will germinate, even in the richest
soil, unless a little air is present. A
very important feature of good farm
ing is to determine just how much
ain the soil should contain or how
loose or compact it should be. Hav-
ing too much air in the soil is as bad
as having none at all, and it takes
more than ordinary judgment on the
part of the farmer to determine when
the soil needs aerating or when it is
aired out too much. Air in the soil
performs two very important func-
tions-it liberates plant food and 1t
is by the action of the air that de-
composition and disintegration are
fastened. Without the air plant
food would not become liberated, and
the weeds and stubble that are turned
under would not begin to immediate
ly decompose to make plant food and
humus. 1t is the air that causes nj
trification of the soil. The soil con-
tains large amounts of plant food Of
which but a small proportion is avail
able. 1t is the circulation of the air
through this soil that causes this nj
trogen to be liberated. Without air
the soil becomes dead and inert

Pillar of Brewing Industry.

The Munich Post pays a remarkable
tribute to Herr Joseph Fischer, who
for 40 years, without a single break,
has been daily customer at the
Deieth brewery in the town of Strau-
bing, and during that period has spent
$4,000 in beer and s115 in tips. "Such
men as these" remarks the Post, "are
the pillars of our native brewing in
dustry, the steady upholders of our
patriotic traditions. The chair in
which this modest hero daily sat for
40 years should one day find a place
of honor in the Town hall of Strau-
bing, to be venerated as memorial Of
one imbued with a profound love of
his country, who fulfilled in a faithful
and unassuming manner the duties Of
a citizen"

creatures learned to fly. When the
time comes, they seem to spring into
the air full-grown and fully equipped.
By watching at the hummingbird nest,

youngsters took their turns sitting on
the nest edge, stretching their wings,
combing their tails, and preening their
feathers. Each would try his wings.
The wings started slowly, as If get

THE PEACH TREE BoRER.

The peach tree borer is native to
North America and has been a serious
menace to peach growing for more
than 100 years; in fact, it is now
found in every State east of the
Rocky Mountains, and nearly all the
peach trees planted east of the Mis-.
sissippi River during the last quarter
of a century have suffered more or
less from this pest.
Most farmers perhaps have seen
this insect in its destructive or borer
stage, few have seen it in any other
form, but few know the four stages
which 1t passes through in its trans.
formation, and for that reason the
the wonderful transformation exhib.
tied by this insect in passing through
the four stages-the egg (t'Ie lara
or borer), the pupa, and the adult or
moth-yet the most successful grow
ers of fruit are fast realizing that
they must know more about the lives
and habits of the insects in Oh der TO
fight them most successfully, or in
other words, to apply the correct
methods at the right time. The
adult moth is of deep steel-blue and
resembles wasp; both the male and
female have yellow strips around the
body; the female, however, can be
distinguished from the male in that
the bands or strips are broader.-

TIME TO SPRAY.

The time to spray depends some.
what on the special trouble one de,
sires to prevent or remedy. If the
purpose is to prevent or eradicate
scale spraying should be done in wis
ter or early spring, before any buds
or foliage appears.
In a general way, for preventing
fungus or other diseases attacking
foliage, buds or fruit, it is usually
best to spray once or twice in the
spring, just before and about the
time buds commence swelling, and
again after fruit is formed and the
blossoms have fallen. 1t Is not
thought good to spray while trees
are in full bloom.-Farmers' Home

MAKE FARM HOMES BETTER.

"What will make the farm home a

When young people find greater at

likely to be needed in the country
more in the next ten years than they

it will be all the farmers can do to
raise food enough for our own ever
increasing population. Our produc-
tion is now limited not by the capac-
ity of the soil, but by the scant sup
ply of farm labor. If we keep our
farm boys and girls at home for twen-
ty years we can increase our crop pro-
duction fifty per cent. and in many
sections 100 per cent. This increase
in production cannot come without
an increase in the supply of farm la

probably to be traced to the ancient
Egyptian priests, who employed this
art In their religious rites and cere-

Greeks and Romans derived their first
knowledge of music. The ancient He
brews probably took with them into
Palestine some of the songs they had
