IN GOLDEN ROD TINE

+ T. y \ + 4 = = 4 =
It's golden rod tfne-aiI the fields are
fringed
In a trimming of brilliant gold.
BY the old rail fence wave the plumes
so dense,
That war with the breezes bold
Like sentinels they stand at guard
Where the brown fields stretch
away,
While there in the stumble so free from
trouble
The rabbits leap and play.
Ab, seed and weed and thistle pod,
Ghinquapin and chestnut burr
And wild grape vine and muscadine
Sweet as the lips of her
As sweet as the lips of girl know
Smiling at me through the golden
glow,
With eyes a-sparkle and hair a-blOw
In the beautiful golden rod time
In the dreamy golden rod time.

SENSIBLE STABLE RULES

The following stable rules have
been issued by the Boston Work Horse
Parade Association:
1. The best order in feeding is
Water hay, water again, grain.
2. Never give grain to tired horse.
Let him rest and nibble hay for an
hour or two first. Grain in the man
ner before the horse comes in looks
bad
8. Water the horses as often as pos
sible; but let the horse that comes in
hot drink few swallows only.
4. Always water the horse after he
has eaten his hay at night. This is i'm
portant, not only for his comfort but
his health.
5. Do not forget to salt the horse
once a week; or better yet, keep salt
always before him.
6. Give bran on Saturday night or
ESunday noon; and on Wednesday night
also, if IVORY is slack After long day
in very cold or wet weather, q hot
mash, half bran and half oats, with a
tablespoonful of ginger, will do the
horse good.
| 7. Keep a good deep, dry bed under
the horse while he is in the stable, day
or night, on Sundays especially. The
more he lies down, the longer his legs
and feet will last
8. In order to do well, the horse
must be kept warm. Give him blan-
ket on cool nights in late summer or
early fall, and an extra blanket on an
extra cold night in winter.
9. In cold rains do not tie up the
horses tail. The long tail prevents
the water from running down the in
side Of his legs, and keeps off a current
OF air from his belly.
10. Take off the harness, collar and
all when the horse comes in to feed
He will rest better without it.
IL. Never put a horse up dirty or
muddy for the night. At least brush
his legs and belly and straighten his
hair.
u. In hot weather, and in all
weathers if the horse is hot, sponge
) his eyes, nose, neck, the harness marks
r and the inside of HIS hindquarters
= when he first comes in.Yi~'e,
D 10. When the horse comes in we,
: with rain first scrape him, then blan-
= ket him and rub his neck, loins and
legs. If the weather is cold, put on an
: extra blanket in twenty minutes
. Change the wet blanket when the
horse dries. Do not wash the legs

Americas has taken another step in
the right direction. The city is to
have a sure enough brass band. An
experienced leader has been secured
and soon there'll be music in the air.
A band is a source of benefit to 4
community in many ways. First of ali
it furnishes wholesome amusement to
the people of the city who enjoy good
music. Second it furnishes something
for the young men who are members
to do in their spare moments. And
third of all it helps to advertise city.

A BRAND NEW WAY
TO SAVE MONEY.

The American Magazine has been

in the October number the three prize
winning letters are published. Follow
ing is an extract from the letter that
won first prize:
Il trust theplan set forth herein
will be of help to others whose means
are modest, and their need for a nest
egg all the more important on that
account.
After obtaining remunerative po-
sition on my entry into the business
world, | resolved land who does not?)

My resolution would last four months,
at the outside, and the nest egg would
be dissipated.

pensation (for mechanical work. Of
twenty dollars week without accumu-
laung surplus Of any sort; for my
needs, or desires, had kept pace with
my increasing income A short but Sc
we're illness cut off my salary Temporal
rily, and threw the drain of a physi-
clans bill on the salary when it was
resumed. Face to face with necessity,
determined that, after my bills were
paid, would save something, some
how, against a recurrence OF this I'M
fortunate period.
81 hit upon the plan of taxing all
my expenditures on a sliding scale,
thus:
Five per cent. tax on all moneys
expended for necessities (such as shell
ter, food, clothing, etc.,
Ten per cent tax on articles luxu-
rious in character (such as feathers,
wells, silk stockings, and other rills
and furbelows)
Twenty-Five per Cent. tax luxa-
ries (such as matinees, concerts, books,
candies, sodas, etc.
Saving this assumed the fascination
of game. l kept the daily taxes in a
separate compartment of my purse,
emitted the purse into a metal bank
each month at a savings bank Of
course, other ways to add to these
sums we're resorted to occasionally;
such as putting odd change from pur-
chases, the weeks pennies, and even
fares paid for by others, into the most
interesting compartment; OF my purse.
But the taxation system was the main
idea and it was due to that that ex
perienced the pleasant eXpansiveness OF
