ceuntinu on the Abacus.

The Japanese shopkeepers use the
abacus, or soroban, so universally that
the stranger quickly comes to realiz-
Ing sense of the absence of all mental
calculation In the empire. In lieu OF
paper and pencil any child or adult
will at once take UP the soroban when
given a problem in mathematics and
rattle its beads about as though he
were amusing himself. The principle
Of the little instrument is this: Each
of the five beads in the broad lower
division of the board represents one
unit, and each solitary bead in the mar
row upper division represents FIVE
units. Each vertical column is thus
worth ten units Each vertical column
represents units ten times greater than
those In the column Immediately to the
right of It, exactly as in our own sys,

bic numerals. Any sum In arithmetic
can be done on the soroban, even to the
extraction OF square and cubic roots.

CORN AND COB
MEAL FOR HORSES.
An Excellent Ration When
Property Balanced,

Some feeders complain that horses
fed on crushed corn and cob ration
appear subject to attacks Of gastric
collie, and such will be the case if this
is made the one item entering into
their daily feed. writes Nj. C0VerdeIl in
the Farm Journal.
The dry, woody consistency of the
cob in crushed corn is what causes the
trouble The combination is natural
,ly less digestible than purely grain ra-
tons and thus will remain Ia the stom-
aeh too long unless something is done
to move it on. Horses that are idle or
stand in stall q goodly portion of the
time are more liable to be attacked by
ailments brought on by the use Of the
corn and cob meal than those animals
which are worked or In other ways
secure plenty of open air exercise.
We never under any circumstances
make the corn and cob meal the entire
ration for horses, but add a quart or
more of oats, bran, etc, to act as
laxative for keeping the cob portion
i
or three ears of whole corn will serve
the purpose by furnishing greater
amount Of grain and inducing more
mastication This is all that Is neces-
sary, and by closely watching the ma
nure passing from the animals one
can best tell the proper amount OF
laxative feeds to give. Where too
much Of the corn and cob meal is be,
] ing fed for the health Of the animals
| their manure becomes hard and dark
colored when it should be moderately
soft and of bright golden cast. Toe
much roughage is also to be guarded
against when the corn and cob ration
is fed, as considerable roughage vii
be extracted from the cob portion o.
/ the feed.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
THUMBS In Pics

ThumpS is an ailment so common to
young pigs that d knowledge OF its
prevention or cure should be cOurted
by every breeder The spasm0dlc
Jerking Of the TANKS Is SO severe at
times as to move the entire body to
and fro. There is usually derange-
ment of the digestive organs and
nerves, due, it is believed. to over
feeding and lack Of exercise But
many pigs are predispOsed to the trou-
bic by Inheritance. If you own swine
that are afflicted with thumps genera
lion after generation 1t will be we'll
to seek the Infusion Of fresh and
harder lines of blood. Careful breed
ing and abundant, enforced exercise
will often prevent its appearance for
many years.
To cure a case that Is well seated
is difficult, and no medicine need be
used except to give each little sufferer
a half ounce Of castor oil once as a
purge and one grain Of digitalis three
times a day as. a sedative. Let the
pigs have a sunny place to lie, and in
duce activity as much as possible by
having this shed some distance from
the SOW or place of feeding. If the
pigs refuse to move about they must
be driven each day until they volun-
tarily take the needed exercise. To
shut them from their dam half an
hour daily or oftener will cause them
to worry and move about and SO
prove beneficial.

for It to the human mother who loves

The Woodworking husband of New

to support six small children. Friends
advised her to part with some Of them,
but the indomitable mother spirit re-
fused, so she took in washing.
Day after day she toiled at her tub
and far into the night she bent over
her ironing board. The Oldest boy
called for and delivered her work
And thus she kept the wolf from the
door. Others pitied her, but she went
joyously to her hard daily task, for Il
