Handling Young Colts.

One of the best horse-raisers we
know of works his mares right up TO
the time of foaling and then turns
them out on the pasture and lets
them run with their colts till wean-
ng time. OF course he has strong
lusty colts, and his brood mares are
always in pink OF condition for the
following season. But on many
farms the brood mares must be hard
worked all summer. When these
good mares must be pressed into this
double duty, one should give them
me best OF care, liberal feed, and
keep them from fretting over their
colts. We have never found it ad-
visable TO have the colt trampling
along after the team all day in the
field Keep the colt in box stall
at home This makes extra work
until the colt is month old, but It
will save time and much annoyance
after that. The mare will have &c
be handled as carefully as the colt
She is apt to fret until she becomes
accustomed to being away from heT
colt, her udder is apt to hurt her, ii
it is not relieved frequently. All oi
these things with hard work, will
naturally cut her down. Feed well
be patient with both mare and colt
and after the first six weeks you will
have very little trouble.

w,ec.Ns BROTHERS, HUNTERS.
Killed Two Bears, Two Deers and .
Panther This Season.

Bin and Dick Virgins have been
taking annual hunts together for sew
enty-five years. They are brothers.
Bill Is S6 and Dick Is "a. They have
made their home in Knox for many
years.
They returned a few days ago from
their annual hunting trip to the Big
Thioket, bringing back with them two
fat bears, two deer and panther. De-
spite their age they are still as spry
as the average man of middle age.
Their hair is just beginning to turn
gray and neither OF them ever wore
glasses.
Bill Virgins killed the smaller
bear. They killed two deer apiece,
using up two of the animals in camp
and bringing back the other two with
them. They do their own cooking in
camp and get the keenest enjoyment
out of their outdoor experience. Taey
are also great fishermen, and during
the summer season spend much of
their time along the streams Of tHis
region angling for bass and other Gsh.

For the Chicks.

When chicks are well hatched and
vigorous, they might best be fed
hard-boiled eggs mixed with an equal
portion of Dread crumbs, stale cheese
broken into pieces and moistened
with scalding hot milk; the milk all
squeezed out of the bread furnishes
food equal in value TO the hard-boiled
egg and bread-crumbs rubbed thor
oughly together One feed a day or
bread soaked in boiling milk and
pressed out dry, and the rest of the
ration small particles of cracked
wheat, cracked corn and oatmeal, will
provide a splendid living for them.

How They Got Out.

Uncle Ephraim had two hogs. watch
he kept in pen at the rear end OF his
little lot. They were Of the ''rasof-
back" variety, and although they were
fed bountifully with kitchen waste it
seemed impossible to put any Ia. on
their attenuated frames. One morn
ing when he went out TO feed them
they were not there. They had disap-
peared, leaving no clue to the manner
in which they had made their escape.

inquired a neighbor, noticing the deep
detection with which the old man was
looking down into the empty pen.

A oueer Phase Of Hypnotism.

The technique OF phreno-magnetism
Is this: When the subject Is in the hyp-
motto sleep the operator. standing be-
hind him, places the tips OF his fingers
upon the subjects head and waits.
Soon the subject will begin TO act or
ling or speak. Any one acquainted
with the chronological system of local
za.ion will recognize at once that the
actions or words of the subject corre-
spond to the "organ" on the head
which has been touched by the opera
tor. Thus If you touch combativeness
the subject is very apt to square Off
and strike some one or speak Of war
or a drum. If you touch veneration
he is is very apt to lift his eyes and
pray. I have heard very eloquent
sermon thus inspired in a subject who
was gifted with ready tongue. Touch
the organ of color and he will speak Of
beautiful colors. Touch tune and he
will sing or whistle. Touch caution
and his face will express vivid fear.
remember that one subject startled me
by shouting Look outr' and making
a leap that he could scarcely have
eaualed In his waking state. When
touched the faculty of caution he
thought he saw a snake.-Dr. George

Literary Ghosts"

According to a writer in La Revue
of Paris. the rank and file of novelists
In France draw on an average 800 for
each book, and many Of them are
thankful to get half that amount. On
the other hand, those at the top of the
tree earn large incomes, and some of
them undertake more commissions
than they can fulfill. Recourse is
then had to literary ghosts" of whom
there are plenty in Paris, willing to
furnish a passable imitation of any
writer's work. Popular novellsts do
not always take the trouble to read
the books published under their
names. Some years ago a ghost"
with a grievance against his employer
interpolated in the book ordered from
him two chapters of Nine. Bovary,"
altering nothing but the names of the
characters. The woman who signed
the book in order to clear herself from
the charge of plagiarism had to con-
fess that she had farmed it out.

The Profitable Sheen.

There is no danger of any person
getting into trouble in predicting
that from now on the sheep is to be
returned to its proper place on the
farms. And why not, when it makes
by far more money out of the grass
and the weeds, the hay and anything
else fed to it than any other kind Of
animal we raise, and 1t does that
without one needing to milk or
grind for them. All that is required
Is to give the iced as it comes from

is considered, how we can farm,

Ahnut the Sturnaon.

The largest species Of the sturgeon
is the great huso. which inhabits the
rivers and inland seas in Russia and is
sometimes as much as twenty-four
feet long, while the smallest is the
sterlet, only about three feet long
Surgeons seek their food in the mud
at the bottom Of rivers, plowing this
up with their long snouts, which are
protected by broad plats, and have
curious wormlike "feelers" a little way
behind and on the underside. The
work of these feelers is TO examine
the treasures turned up by the snout,
and it is from their habit Of stirring
up the mud that surgeons most likely
gained their name. This comes from
the German word ''storen," which
means "to poke up or stir"

FOR THE CHILDREN
TIE Riuht of Road.

In some Countries the rule of the
road requires foot passengers to keep
to the right and horsemen and vehicles
to keep to the left. Some years ago n
learned justice looked into the matter
and thus explained it:
"'The foot traveller" he observed, lin
ancient times passed to the right in
order that the shield which was car
ried on the left arm might be inter
posed to ward off a treacherous blow.
while the right arm, or the sword
arm, was left free action. Horsemen.
on the other hand, were accustomed
to wearing suits of mail for the pro-
lection of their bodies, and 1t was be-
lieved that there was greater safety in
having the arm actively employed In
defense and attack near TO the enc
my than to have to strike at him
across the horses neck; hence the
horseman passed to the left, and We
hicles were naturally required to dc
the same"
This seems like a plausible reason,
but in the United States it has been
considered safer to have the rules of
the road the same for pedestrians as
well as for horsemen and vehicles;
hence in this country the rule of the
highway is to pass to the right. Pos
sibly we choose the right in preference
to the left on the simple proposition
that If you turn to the right you cam
not go wrong.

Fireside Fun,

Place on table large bowl of pea
nuts; some six or eight feet away place
an empty bowl on another table.
The children must count out" and
the child who is 'it'' calls the name of
the one he selects to go to Peanut
Town. To this child he now gives a
dinner knife and commands him:
Go at once to Peanut Town,
Peanut Town, Peanut Town;
Go at once to Peanut Town
And haul its peanuts down
The child takes the knife to the bowl
of peanuts, lifts as many as possible
ON the blade and starts with them to
the empty bowl. The child who brings
the largest number in three trials is
the winner of the game. One child is
appointed mayor of Peanut Town, and
his duty is to gather the fallen nuts
and return them to the bowl-Peanut
Town.-Philadelph Ledger.

Synthetic Sapphires.

NJ. Verneuil. French scientist, pub
fishes a method for making sapphires
artidcially like rubies, and tells how
at the French Academy of Sciences.
Rubies can be made by coioring
alumina. mineral corundum, through
giving a red color to the fused mineral
by trace of some substance like iron.
Many attempts have been made to
make sapphires in a similar way, US
ing a cobalt as coloring. Verneuils

The peach is a native Of China, but
it was introduced into Persia, where it
was called Persica and finally the
peach. From Persia it was introduced
into Europe and from there into the
United States. The Indian peach type
was introduced into the southern part
of this country from Spain. Species
may be found growing wild in some
localities. AS early as 1912 the bota-
mist Nuttall found the peach growing
wild as far west as Arkansas. The

the Peen-to, is still found In China.
