stretched across the bed, while by mis-
side was the revolver with which he
had taken his life DR.. Sothoron said
his brother had suffered from continued
III health for years, and that he was
convinced that was the cause Of the
suicide.

BOSTON, Mass, July A-With no
word received from the unknown four
masted schooner which crashed into
the Holland American freight steamer
SIoterdyk during a fog Tuesday night
four miles of Nantucket, tearing a gap
ing hole in the steamers side. the reve-
nue. cutter GRESHAM left here today in
search of some trace of the vessel.
The Sioterdyk crept into this port late
last night, and experts who viewed the
hole in her side are unanimous in de-
claring that the schooner must have
gone to the bottom.

Hardest Work That the Farm Horses
Are Called Upon to Perform
Keep Shares %Sharpened.

Flowing is at best the hardest work
our farm horses have to perform.
Few plow teams are not doing 10 to
30 per cent. OF unnecessary work. The
writer has seen plows which he be-
lieved were pulling so per cent harder
than they should, writes z. W. Ham
ilton in an exchange.
We are told that about 80 per cent.
OF the draft of a pillow is due to the
cutting OF the furrow slice. The con-
dition of the cutting edge must then
be OF first Importance. Expert plow-
men recognize this and in competi-
tons file their shares { knife edges.
One authority claims that an old
share resharpened has shown SO per
cent. heavier draft than a new share.
Again, engine plows OF the same
make and size have under the same
conditions shown 45 per cent. differ
ence in draft in favor of the new fresh
ly filed shares over resharpened
shares in ordinary condition. 1t will
certainly pay TO keep the p~lowshares
sharp and in proper form.
The set and adjustment of a plow
has almost Is much to do with the
draft as condition OF the share. A
riding pillow with rear furrow wheel
should pull little or no harder than a
walking pillow or plows of the same
widths. Yet how many do it? About
80 per cent. of the draft of a walking
pillow is due to the friction of the
pillow on the bottom and side of the
furrow. In the riding pillow this fric-
ton is eliminated by carrying the
weight and down and side pressure of
pillow bottom on wheels.
To accomplish this the real furrow
wheel is set out about an inch and a
quarter so hat Landslide cannot touch
the side furrow. The wheel is also
set down so the heel of Landslide is
raised off the bottom of furrow. When
SO set the pillow bottom will sink into
the ground and hang there. When
pillow bottoms float" in the frame
lone Of the bottom and side pressure
is removed and the draft of the bot
toms is the same as that of the walk
ing plows to which must be added that
due to weight Of pillow frame and
driver.

PROPER TRAINING OF COLTS
Two-Thirds of Horses Called Vicious
Can Be Managed by Judicious
Treatment-Many Spoiled.

Many valuable horses are spoiled by
improper or harsh treatment in train
ing. A mar who is incapable of un-
derstanding the disposition of horses
is certainly incapable of training
them. T~wo-thirds of the horses that
have been called vicious a be man
aged by proper treatment, says the
Farm and Home.
1t is bad policy to train a colt un-
less he is in the best of spirits. The
brain will be mere active, therefore
the disposition easier to control. On
the other hand. if you train a colt
while he is thin in flesh, in poor spir-
its and on light food. as some men do.
he will not take notice of objects, and
when on good feed later he is not we'll
trained. Have them in good spirits,
give plenty of feed. and us less whip.

LARGE SLIDING BARN DOORS
Recoil Spring Buffer Prevents Them
From Jumping Track When They
Are Thrown Open Quickly.

Large sliding barn doors have a
tendency to jump the track when they
are thrown open quickly. This may
be prevented by using a recoil spring
to stop the door at the place where it
is entirely open, writes J. Harry
Priestly of Lawrence, Mass, in the
Popular Mechanics. A buffer or re-
coil spring can be easily attached to
the outside of the building wall as
shown in the sketch. The Buffer A
is fastened on the ends of two sliding
pins, B and c, each one inch in diam.
eter and Is inches long. The pins

SELECTION OF FEEDER STEER
Width and Straightness of Back, With
Accompanying WeII-Sprung Rib,
Most Desired.

While the butcher desires ineness
of bone and high quality in all parts
SO that there shall be little waste on
the block, 1t is not desirable to have
this 60 to extremes. A steer with too
much refinement, as indicated by a
light bone and frail head, and a small
paunch, will not be able to stand the
strain of heavy feeding, and then fin.
ish out with the great weight that is
desired.
No n point is considered more inn
portant in selecting feeder steers than
the width and straightness of the
back, witk the accompanying we'll
sprung rib. 1t is an index to the feed
ing quality and points to the ability to
put on meat in the expensive cuts.

as In every other country under the
sun, where they have made them
selves indispensable. They are not
only very useful around sheep, but
can easily be taught to drive cattle
and to keep a general watch over
them, as we'll as of hogs and of the
poultry. Many a collie has learned to
keep fowls out of the garden and away
from the front of the house without
ever doing any damage to them.
The price of c%ollies, as with fowls,
depends greatly upon the quality and
what they are wanted for. Some of
our highest show types of collies are
the most intelligent and useful around
the farm. Good puppies sell to the
farmers at from $500 to $1,000 each.
The fancier who desires to raise col
lie puppies pays from SO to $50 for
puppies not over two to four weeks
old.
One collie was brought to this
country from England several years
ago for $4,000, and one came last
year at the reported price of Sc 500.
Every year several change HANDS at
$1,000 each, and many at $100 up.
Collies can be trained easily and
quickly. to do many useful things. but
there is n thing that should be
borne in mind, and that is, the train
ing should be done by only one per-
son. Do not let every member of the
family take a hand in the training or
the result will be a spoiled dog. When
we'll trained, nc farmer will ever re-
greet having spent a little time and
money on a collie.
