If agreeable he can examine his subjects in all the different branches of education in sue cession or he may go from one tO the other indiscriminately SuppOSing. however, he decides to begin with natural history. he will proceed as fol lows: Pointing to the pupil at the top of the class. he asks the name of a bird beginning with C. should the pupil not name bird with this let ter by the time the master has count ed ten it is passed on immediately to he next, who if successful and calls out cuckoo" or "crow,' etc, in time, goes above the one who has failed
 Authors, singers, actors or anything else may be chosen, if the schOOlmas- ter should think proper. as subjects for examination; but. whatever may be selected. the questions must follow each other with very great rapidity or the charm of the game will be wanting.

Hunt the Sheep.

This is an outdoor game for boys or girls and is both good fun and good exercise. Any number can play-the more the merrier. Two captains. are chosen and the players divided into sides, each side with a captain. The counting out process is applied to the two sides as if they were but two in diViduals The side that is 'it' stays in a stated space. while the captain of the other side hides all of his charges. He then returns, to walk like mar shal, beside his opponents. to see that they all keep in a straight line as they search for those hidden.
 Whenever the searching party comes too near the objects of their search the captain of the hidden side calls out "Lemonr and after two or three such warnings, when the approach is very close, he at last calls.

Two of the players must know the Hame One sits in chair and the other stands behind him. The com pany Is asked to write q word or quotation or question on slip of pa per previously given to each one. When this is done all the slips are collected by the player, who stands be- hind the chair.
 Now. before the game begins. this player has written and given to the one in the chair quotation the one in the chair holds hidden in his hand.
 The player behind the chair then takes a slip he has just collected and presses it against the forehead of play CT No. ?. After an apparent effort he calls of the quotation that player No. l has already given him and which be has hastily read.
 "Who wrote that?" asked No. 2, And then No. l. who in the sight of all pretended to write a paper at the time they all did, says, Il did,' and hands the paper pressed against the forehead to No. 2. But, you will see. the paper held against the forehead was really written by one of the cir cle, so No. 2 has one paper ahead each time, which he reads and then asks: "Who' wrote that?''
 If this is deftly done it puzzles a company for a long time.

Strawberry Fumes,

A strange story about the danger of strawberries when in large quantities comes from Brittany. Recently there have been several demands by local tradespeople and tourists to be granted a passage to Plymouth on the little steamers which carry the supply of early strawberries across the channel from Plougastel, but in every case the request has been refused As the re fusal was ill received in some cases, the shipowners have now given their explanation.
 The fumes given out by such large quantities of strawberries, they say, are quite as overpowering and dangerous as those of any strong alcoholic liquor. The crew have to keep on deck for the greater part of the voyage, and no pas senger could be carried except at risk to health.-London Standard.

FAVORS THE MULE COLT.
Most Profitable Animal to Raise From
 Inferior Mares.

Most Profitable Animal to Raise From
 Inferior Mares.
 There is always something to be said for the mule colt, and usually there are a number ready to say it. It is true that the mule is the colt to raise from the inferior or medium grade mare if the idea in view is to raise something to place upon the market. A mule colt is usually a sturdy little rascal, ready and willing to do most of the taking care of himself When weaned he is all the more ready to rough it. and if anything on the farm comes through the winter in good shape it will be that mule colt, provided he is given any show at all. says the Iowa Home stead
 But this paper is not in favor of breeding any and every mare to raise mule colt. Take the pure bred or high grade mare of the kind that now readily sells for 5000 and up. It is now business policy to raise mule colts from such mares. because horse colts will eventually grow into more money if ! the breeding is done along right lines. This reminds us of the following story we have often heard Colonel Robson, 1 the noted Kansas breeder of PercEer ons. tell:
 The colonel had q string of his fine ! mares at the Missouri state fair some years ago. He concealed himself be hind a partition on some sacks to listen 1 to the comments of party of Missouri. | mule raisers he saw headed toward his mares. By George. Joe" said one of 1 the MisSOurians as he came in sight of one of the colonel's best. that mare would raise a mule colt worth hun | dred dollars the day he was weaned." :" l The colonel said he could not hold the | chuckle behind the partition when he l realized that the last colt dropped by l that mare was sold for $500 at wean- | ing. This simply is given to illustrate | that the fine brood mare, either of pure | breeding or high grade, if of a heavy | draft type. will now raise a horse colt | that grows into more value than would the mule colt
 1 It is the best of business policy, l however, to breed all rather inferior brood mares and all that are on the plug" order to raise mule colts. This may not seem like giving the mule rais- | ing part of the business fair deal, and yet it is the plan that will pay the mare owner the best profit. The mule colt from the under quality mare will
 not be as good as would the mule colt l from the highest grade mare. but it
 will not be so much poorer nor will ! the mule from the best mare be so
 much better that it pays to raise mules
 from all. Putting it i'll another way.
 the inferior mare is very apt to raise a
 better mule, in proportion, than is the
 high grade mare, while the high grade
 mare will raise a much better horse
 colt than will the plug" mare We
 have seen mules from $125 mares grow
 into $200 animals. while other mules
 from $200 mares would not be worth
 much if any more. On the other hand
 a horse colt from the $125 mare would
 grow into just about a S125 horse,
 while the horse colt from the $20O
 mare might easily make the half of a
 $500 team.

WHY THE SlLO7

First.-Because corn ensilaGe is the nearest and most economical substitute for pasture grass, which is the most ideal of all own ratiOns.
 SecOnd.-That an acre of corn ensilage yields from GOO to 2.000 pounds more nutrients per acre than any other of the farm crops.
 Third.-That there is great economy of space in it's use.
 Fourth.-That its use makes it more pleasant to feed stock and also saves a great deal of time and labor.
 Fifth.-Because with its use in the winter ration larger gains and milk flows are the result.
 Sixth.-With its use practically the entire food value of the corn crop is saved.
 Seventh.-That the silO enables the farmer to keep double the number of head of stock on the same farm.
 Eighth.-That fields are cleared and ready for the wheat or rye, as all cornstalks are safely stored in silo instead of going to waste in the field
 Ninth.-And lastly and prob ably the most convincing of all is the fact that practically every farmer now using the silo would not do without it. When we can grow and store away for winter use q feed that takes the place of our pasture and that feed can be raised on our farms at less cost that any of our present feeds the } equipment for the storing of such feed should be installed on ; every stock and dairy farm.
