by putting an arm around his neck
near the shoulders, the other back OF
| and around his bullock. The youngs-
| ter will then make the struggle of his
life, but for no reason should he be
allowed t get his liberty until he be-
comes passive and has learned that
he is powerless. This lesson will new
er be forgotten and will convince him
beyond a doubt of mans supremacy
without inficting any pain or injury.
Another early lesson should be the
haltering at about ten days or two
weeks old, when the colt is normal
in form and strength. Give the les
son if possible on the ground where
there is a good soft sod to prevent
slipping and bruising. Tie him to a
solid post with rope enough to allow
his head to nearly reach the ground.
If the first lesson of holding by the
arms has been we'll performed the
haltering and fastening will not meet
much opposition.
Some early stable lessons that
should be taught are training the foal
to promptly stand over from side to
side of the stable, to promptly back
to the length of the halter or step up
to the manger at the word, to readily
give his feet for cleaning.
These lessons should all be given
lust a little at a time at the noon
hour, on rainy days or any odd mo-
ments, so as not to exhaust or dis
courage the foal.-A Farmer, In the

A Model Colony House For Poultry.

A Model Colony House For Poultry.
A good size to build a colony house
is 7x12 it., which is large enough to
accommodate 80 to 40 fowls, yet Is
not too heavy to be drawn by a pair
of horses when it is desired to move
it to a new location. Below are given
the details for constructing a colony
house of this size, as recommended
by the Oregon Experiment Station.
The runners are made of 3g6 in. Z
Il #. rough material and act as side
stills for the house. They should be
beveled at the ends, in order to slide
easily. The cross stills are 3x4 in. <
7 #. They are set 2 in. into the run
ners and IL in. from the ends, and
fastened with Y in. bolts. When the
siding is put on vertically there is no
studding used. The plates are 2x3
in. x 12 it., halved at each end. 10
the plates are nailed the 1x12 in. x b
IT. side boards, and these are bat
tened with 1x3 in. stuff. The siding
is nailed flush with the top Of plate
and laps 3 in. on runners. The root
is one-third pitch, or 2 #. 4 in. at
peak from top line of plates. There
are five pairs of rafters, cut with a
1 in. plumb cut at plate. The roof.
boards are 1x3 in. material, set 3 in.
apart. The roof Is shingled and laid
5 in. to the weather. The front is
covered with 1 in. mesh wire. The
cornice is made of ks in. boards and
projects 5 in. outside of walls. The
frieze board, 1x4 in, is nailed up
tight against the eornice. The door
is 2 IT. x 6 IT. and made from 1x3 in.

The Farmer Should Know.

Among the many things a farmer
should know is how to improve his
soil so as to continue to produce pay
ing crops. 1t is easy to let the farm
run down. Continuous cropping with
out supplying the fertility that has
been removed is r~uinous. The farmer
needs to have knowledge of soil chem
istry to determine what elements,
and how much of each. the crops he
grows are taking from the soil.
Knowing this he knows what and how
much fertilizing material he must
supply to keep. his land in good con-
diticn.-Indiana Farmer.

night / was walking along the main
street right near the bridge where the
lynching had taken place when a dOZ-

you call US murdererS and towards;
well, we'll show you what we are.
They never gave me a chance to ex-
plain who I was or tell them that they
had made mistake. In ten minutes
they had me in the woods, down on
the bank of the river and had stripped
my clothes off They took a brush
and a bucket of tar and tarred me all
over. Then they cut open a couple of
pillows and threw feathers on me.
IF they had lashed me for half
an hour 1 could not have suffered
more than 1 dod. 1 had an excruciat-
ing pain, just as if 1 were being burned
all over me. Then the stopping of the
pores of my skin made me feel as II
1 were going to burst. I do not be-
lieve a man ever suffered so much
as did and lived to tell it. After they
left me I went to the house of a gar
dener and he took me in. 1 told him
care of me. For ten days 1 was de-
lirious. and it was a month before
was able to walk. Some one wrote
letter to me telling me they were sor-
ry for the mistake. And later on $25t
in cash was left for me at the house
where 1 was staying. But money could
not hire me to take coat of tar again.
