Timid Applause.

During the earlier days of the reign
Of Queen Victoria dramatic perform
ances were given at Windsor castle
under the management of Charles
Kean. The audiences being limited
and stifly aristocratic, the applause
was naturally not especially hearty,
and the comedians felt the absence of
the more demonstrative approval man
ifested in the regular theater.
One evening the queen sent an equer-
ry to Mr.. Kean to know if the actors
would like anything (meaning refresh
ments), when the actor replied, "Say
to her majesty that we should be CRATE
full for a little applause when the spec
tators are pleased"
Back went the equerry and conveyed
the message. At the end of the act
there was a slight suggestion of hand
clapping and exceedingly gentle foot
tapping. James Wallack. who knew
nothing of the message sent to the
queen. hearing the mild demonstration,
pricked up his ears and inquired,
"What is that?'
Mr.. Kean replied. THAT, my dear
Wallack. is applause"
"God bless me" retorted Wallack.

This Breed Commands Very High
Prices at All Times.
An expert sheepman says Dorset
sheep belong to the middle woods.
These are the mutton breeds sought
after by butchers on account of cut
ting so well on the block. In size the
Dorset rams when developed will
weigh from 200 to 250 pounds, some
going a bit higher; ewes from $50 to
100 pounds. The wool is of good, fair
length and fiber of the crisp. strong
sort and at all times commands the
highest price.
Both the ewes and rams have horns,
the rams, of course, much heavier,
stronger and larger. Whether on ac-
count of their horns the Dorsets are
less timid than other breeds / am not
prepared to say. Nevertheless it is

THE BEST APPLES.
Some That You Will Recognize as Old
Friends In This List.

Friends In This List.
North America is the great apple pro-
ducing region of the world, and New
York leads all the other states in the
quantity grown. although varieties

states, particularly Missouri, Oregon
and Washington. To have perfect
fruit the soil and the climate condi-
tons must be of the most favorable.
A list of what may be called the best
apples-best in one sense or another
has been arranged. The list comprises
these varieties: The Belmont, Bethle-
mite, Bullock's Pippin. CogswelI. Early
Joe, Esopus. ~Spitzenburg. Full Wine,
Garden Royal, Melon. Mother, North
ern Spy. Pomme Grise, Porter. Pri-
mate, Red Canada. Summer Pearmain.
Summer Rose. Swaar, Wagner and
WeStfeld. To this list are added the
Baldwin and the Rhode Island Green
ing-twO of the best known apples the
country over.
Other popular apples include the Gil
lifower, Vandevere. Maiden's Blush,
American Beauty. Fameuse, Pound
Sweet, Talman Sweet. Winespice. Bell
flower, Red Astrakhan, Pearmain, Au-
tumn Bough, RoXbury Russell. Sops O.
Wine, King, Twenty Ounce. Hubbard
ston and Peach Pond Sweet.
The Pippin wherever found seems to
be always well liked. But one Pippin
differs from every other. What one
state knows as Pippin another state
greets by quite a different name. The
Ben Davis, tor instance. so known in
the middle west, is known in New
York state as a New York Pippin.
Almost every propagation of apples
has found, if his experience and his or
chards are extensive, specimens which
he thought entitled to such names as
Seek No Further, Nonesuch and Sine
Qua Non, so that if one receives an
apple bearing one of these names in
Massachusetts it may differ exceeding
~ from n of the same name offered
to him in Wisconsin. But they are all
likely to be worth the eating if their
grower has seen fit to honor them with
such names.
The longer apples remain on the
tree, unless the weather becomes too
cold to permit their exposure, the bet
ter the flavor and keeping qualities.
The fruit that comes to perfection the
farthest north. as that in the Hood
river region of Oregon, appears to
have the finest keeping qualities with
out deterioration in flavor.
OF the varieties raised in the east
the winter russets keep longest with
out being put in cold storage and real
ly reach the full perfection of flavor
only late in the winter or in the early
spring. 1t used to be considered a
marvellous and almost an impossible
thing to keep apples owe from the
fall till the first summer apples ap-
peared, but with methods Of cold
storage so extensively used as they
are now this is easily achieved and
with far less deterioration in flavor
than might be reasonably expected.

He Knew the Ropes.

During a special service in a Phila-

those wishing to confess conversion to
proceed to the altar when a stranger
arose from his seat and slowly walked
to the altar railing. The visitor in
formed the minister that he had decid-
ed to abandon his present mode of

When the announcement was made
that a certain distinguished citizen
had been appointed TO join the ma

was naturally discussed with a great

One day the subject came up in a

for upward of forty years.

paddocks the Dorsets are EXCEPTIONAL
ly gentle. and n ram having a pro-
pensity for butting and exercising on
human beings is seldom found.
The ewes are noted for their tenden-
cy to breed at off season or in the
spring. This enables the breeder to
have his lambs born in October and
November, which permits him to place
on the market what is justly consid-
cred a dollhouse lamb without the ne
cessity and expense of maintaining a
heated barn for the purpose. No breed
is as great milk producers as the Dor
sets. Therefore the lamb from the

for market in from nine to eleven
weeks from the time it is born.

TAKING HORSES PULSE

Artery May Be Found by Placing Hand
at lnderside of Jaw.
The pulse is due to an automatic
expansion AMI relaxation in the wall
of an elastic tube-the artery-caused
- to i..e # blond pumped into those
.t..,..,ls bs means of a force pump-thr-
heart.
Each stroke of the heart is equal to
ole pulSation-viz. a rising and fall
ing of the a%rterial wall. In health the
average number of pulse beats per
minute is about thirty-six to forty.
The larger the horse the slower or
fewer the number of beats per minute.
According to an expert breeder, a
very good place to take the pulse is at
the underside Of the jaw. By rolling
the tips of the fingers about a little
they can be brought on to the blood
vessel.
Don't press too firmly nor yet too
lightly. The animal must be kept
still and quiet. In point of Importance
the character of the pulse must be
the best guide. That is to say, the
blood vessel may impress us as feeling
hard. soft, full, quick, small, wiry,
regular or irregular.
These are niceties which require
practice before they can be fully ap-
preciated. In disease pleurisy the
pulse will be found beating about
eighty times per minute depending
upon the stage of the d~isease), hard,
wiry and irregular.
In pulmonary apoplexy it may be
beating 100 times per minute.
When properly taken it forms a val
liable means Of assistance in ascer-
tanning the nature and progress of dis

be set at a steep incline. Such sails
must be long and narrow and set
closer together.
In pumping from q deep we'll the an
gle of the sails of the windmill is
such that the wheel will revolve the
same number of revolutions a minute
that it is desired to operate the pump.
This makes it possible to connect the
mill directly to the pump without the
gearing necessary where a high speed
is employed in operation of the pump.
While the low speed mean less wa
ter pumped, it greatly lengthens the
life Of the mill.
In the illustration the windmill, tow
e. and tank are combined in a rather
ornamental structure. When the well
is located on high ground as compared
with the grounds where the water is
to be distributed the tank may rest
upon the surface, as shown, and the
windmill frame be constructed over
head. When the mill is to be located
on lower ground the water tank may
be placed midway on the windmill
frame OF OF top, with the windmill
just above the tank.
A tank placed thirty feet from the
ground will give a pressure of fifteen
pounds when the tank is full. This
would lift water to the second story
of a house standing on the same level.
A garden hose nozzle connected with
this tank would force a stream nearly
as high as the bottom of the tank, or
twenty-five to thirty feet horizontally.
Twenty barrels of water would supply
a garden hose nozzle for a little over
an hour. These small tanks are com
monty used in connection with an
eight to ten foot windmill. The same
sized mill, however, may be used with
a larger tank when the water is to be
used for household purposes, bath
room, lawn and fire protection. A six
ty-ive barrel tank will supply a gar
den hose nozzle for about four hours.

The Way to Manage Cholera Herd.

The Way to Manage Cholera Herds.
Carcasses of hogs which have died
from cholera should be Immediately
burned or buried deeply and covered
with quickiime. Separate the sick
from the well hogs and divide the well
hogs into two or more groups and sep
arate them as widely as practicable.
AS the germs of cholera gain access to
the system only through the digestive
tract. the line of prevention is well
marked. All feed and drinking troughs
should be thoroughly cleaned and dis
infected. If the troughs are of metal
holding them Owe a blaze will be eff
fective. Streams that do not rise on
the home farm should be suspected as
a possible carrier of infection. and for
this reason water from wells should
be given. Feed s%paringly. Where hog
cholera serum is used the hogs should
remain in the infected yards.
