TEACHING THE COLT TO LEAD
Accidents Not Likely 20 Happen II Or
binary Care Is FoIIowed-5egin
Training While Young.

Some people are afraid to handle
young colts, to halter them and lead
them about for fear of hurting them
in some way. It is true that the little
fellows may get scare that will cause
them to be tangled up and hurt in
some accident, but this is not
very likely to occur where even ordi-
nary carefulness is followed. On the
other hand, we all know how hard a.
fullgrown animal is to accustom to
handling and harness. The chEnces
of running an older animal by acct
dents in training are much greater
than in handling the colt that is still
running about alongside its mother.

SPREAD or CHOLERA GERMS
Reason for Prevalence Of Disease In
Late Summer and Fall 10 That
Harvest Hands Are Careless.

The reason that hog cholera is more
prevalent in the latter part OF the
summer and fall is that farmers are
exchanging work during harvesting
and threshing and do not take precau-
lions against carrying the germ that
produces hog cholera from infected
to clean premises.
It is not good plan to thresh in
hog lots or allow hogs to run TO straw
stacks. II cholera exists in the neigh
borhood, some Of the help may come
from an infected farm and leave In
lection which viii be picked up by the

LITTLE IMPORTANT THINGS.

The store was on fire. The fire de-
partment had left a card in the of.
fee, locating the nearest alarm box;
but somebody had mislaid the card or
thrown II into the waste basket. No
body knew where the nearest fire
alarm box was, and fifteen minutes
OF time was wasted hunting for it.
A telegram arrived at ten o'clock
requesting the head of the firm to be
in another city on the morrow. At
1880 o'clock a limited train left the
city, arriving at its destination at two
o'clock the next afternoon. The next
train was not due to arrive until after
the close Of business. The telephone
was out of order, and there wasn't
a time table in the Office. When one
was procured, the 1890 limited had
departed.
There were half dozen rugs
upon the parlor floor, and no water

Johnnie had sore throat. Mother
thought II might be serious, but grand

before Johnnie died.

Watch the markets and always have
your fruit ready to sell when the
prices are most favorable.
It is folly to spend years in bring
ing up good orchard and then allow
the buyers to come in and take them
at their own price.
OF course it pays well to raise fancy
apples If all the details of packing
and selling are attended to, but 1t
must be remembered that the bulk of
the fruit consumed is Of the standard
variety.
When apples are shipped from the
orchard in bulk the packer makes
very nice profit in sorting and packing
in clean boxes or barrels-a thing the
grower should do himself.

The construction of modern bunga-
lows has established a characteristic
style Of architecture that is especially
or typically American. 1t has often
been said that there is no American
style Of architecture, but such re-
marks date from earlier writer's and
should be revised to meet strictly
modern conditions. The possibilities
of bungalow construction are extreme
ly interesting to men of moderate
means as well as to those who are
about to build extensively or expen-
sively.

son that 1t had little or not market

called unofficial market which came
into vogue while the stock exchange
was closed in the latter months of last
year, the stock sold down to 43 IL.
Steel preferred bore the brunt OF the
attack on that and allied issues, fall
ing Ia points to within half a poin:

which normally show great steadiness,
manifested a weakening tendency.
After the close of the market off,
cial announcement was made that be-
ginning with tomorrow's trading, the
minimum price Of steel common would
be lowered to 43. Denial was given to
reports that other active issues were
to undergo immediate revision. The
entire list declined with steel, interna-
tional shares, grangers. coalers and
southern roads as we'll as industriais,
utilities and coppers losing from 2 to
4 points. There was a moderate rally
in the final dealings. Union Pacific
and Reading recovering about a point,
but weakness prevailed at the close.
Failure of the directors of the Press
ed Steel Car Co.. to declare a dividend
on the common stock, was in keeping
with general expectations and served
as reminded Of the unsatisfactory
conditions now prevailing in the equip
ment industry.
Apart from the stock market itself.
the most interesting feature was the
sale by the Pennsylvania Railroad

Salt Raising Bread.

Please tell me what is the differ
ence between salt raising" bread
and the ordinary bread from wheat
-four. Mrs. G. A. b.
The term "salt-raising bread Is
usually applied to those breads that
are leavened without the addition OF
yeast or baking powder. The fol-
lowing rule for one variety Of salt
raising bread may be Of use:
Scald one-half cup Of new milk.
Stir in corn meal to thicken. Set IN
a warm place over night. In the morn
ing use one pint Of hot wafer to scald
the sponge. Mix the corn meal with
enc teaspoonful Of salt and one OF
sugar and add -four to make the bat
ter thick. Set In hot water to rise.
Put the sponge in pan and cover with
sifted -four. Knead loaves. Put Ill
baking pans and bake.
1t will be noted that this is mild
type Of fermented bread. If our read
ers have other recipes for salt-raising
bread the Food Editor would be
pleased to hear from them.
