At present prices for grain, the cow ought to have grain rations right “Eh hi w J 'i 5 mi“ “was ‘ A ' BILL AT PA I ‘ It is not only cruel, but unbusinessâ€" "Not‘qithstroding the low prices of horst‘s, and for that matter of all kinds . of stock at the present. time, if they are to be kept at all, it is far better to keep them in good condition than to allow them at any time to become run down and very thin." says the Horse Breeder. “It is sometimes stated that it is cheaper to keep horses fat than it is to keep them poor. and there is some reason in such a claim, as the at horse has something in reserve for any unusual drain, which the poor one does not have, but whether it is actual- ly cheaper keeping horses in good con- dition or not it is certainly more pro~ fitable in several ways to do so, parti- cularly if they are raised for the marâ€" ket. as almost any horse looks and sells muoh better if in quite good flesh than If thin. “Along with the general low prices horsemen have one consolation, in that oats and most other kinds of grain now cost less than for many years. For the past twelve months, so very low have been the prices of oats, it has been the general impression they could be purchased cheaper than they could pos- sibly be raised on our average eastern farms, and but for the value of the straw. considerable of which is used in every stable, this is probably the. case. With farm productions it is often the case that. extremely low prices in any given commodity are followed by a. very decided advance, with more or less ten- dency to go to the other extreme. This, however, is not yet the case with grain, as the prices for a year to come bid fair to be, if anything, even a trifle lower than thoscpf the past year. "In and near our large cities 3. ton of first quality of; hay now costs just about the same as that weight of the best white oats, hence. as far as nutri- tion is concerned, the oats are certain- ly lower in price and much more econo- mical to feed, to at least a reasonable. eitlent, than the hay, though neither can entirely take the piace 0i the other. Oncinost odour stock farms it .13 cus- tomary during the winter to give ex- -,_ia feed and attention to such brood mares and young stock as are then thin, but With the presan prices of grain, it the pastures are so Situated that grain can be conveniently fed during the summer, every animal .can be brought. up to and kept in fiistâ€"class condition at a comparatively small ex- pense while running out. to pasture. llorscs for all purposes are than much more salable, and when in shape to sell to the. best advantage, are necessarily in good condition to put to work or to keep for breeding .Ul'. any. other pur- poses, while there is indefinitely more stitist‘action to the owner to see his 8 ock all looking sleek and fat than if they are run down and thin. “There are good judges who conâ€" sider themselves capable of recogniz- ing the good pOIIlIS'lD. a horse, regard- less of condition, still, there is no one to whom a horse that is very poor ac- tually looks well, no matter how hand- some or well proportioned the animal ma ' have been when in good condition, on there is no one. who would for a. moment think of payingso high a price for any animal when thin. horses dil- fcr from other kinds of stock, in that there is no particular season when‘one can count with any degree or certainty on finding a good market, the time to sell a. horse being, as a rule, any time when a purchaser is at hand, and as there is no telling when this may be, it is far better to have all that. are for sale kept constantly in good sale condition. “As regards the expensena peck of oats a day would be a very liberal iced for even mature horses that were out to pasture, and there are plenty of our trailing-bred stock that ii given all the oats they would eat would not. con- sume. any more than that quantity; still. the extra expense of this would be only about 83 a month. and but very few months of such feeding would be required to materially _iniprove the condition of any animal in fairly good health. while it ought to take but a short. time to get; even the poorest, with any such iced, in good condition. Late in the season. u hen the pastures are dried up and the ilics_so trouble- some that the horses are found to be losing flesh, a certain amount of green fodder corn. or something of the sort, raised for that particular pui‘pose,‘dan also be very advantageously ted. Still, for all seasons of the year, the writer would regard oats. at the present prices. as the most advantageous feed, [xii-ticiilzirly for our light harness bursts.

Dedicated Recently at the Royal Exchange In London. The City of London now hasn sta- tue of the Queen of Great Britain and Empress of India in which it can take pride. The chief image of the sovereign in London stood until recently in front of the Royal Exchange. It was erectâ€" ed 111 1845 at the opening of the Exâ€" change, and in the fifty years it has been so changed by smoke and fog and atmospheric changes that it bore not the slightest resemblance to the Queen although it had been scraped and clean: ed again and again.

A girl should learn to make a bed, To bake good biscuit, cake and bread; To handle deftly brush and bI-oom, And neatly tidy up a room. A girl should learn to darn and. mend. To care for sick, the baby tend; To have enough of style and taste To trim a hat or fit a waist. A girl should learn to value time, A picture hang. a ladder climb, And not. to almost raise the house. At sight of a little harmless mouse. A girl should learn to dress with speed, And hold tight lacing 'gainst her creed; To buy her shoes to fit her feet; In fact, above all vain deceit. A girl should learn to keep her word, To spread no farther gossip heard, Home or abroad to be at case, And try her best to cheer and please.

A young girl, who had shown con- siderable talent. as a public reader went to London and applied for an en- gagement in a theatrical company. The. manager was impressed with her talent, amateur as she was, and gave her a prominent part; in a new play. It was her first appearance on the stage. She was entirely unknown, but she pleased and even fascinated her audience. It was a most successful first night. The earliest impressions of this young girl's ability as an actress were fully confirmed. The play drew crowded houses night after night, and her reception was in- variably hearty and enthusiastic. She was talked about all over London as an actress of subtle powur and brilliant promise. This first success would have turned many a foolish head, but. it. merely sobered her and taught. her the ncccs« sity for systematic study. She went one day to one of the best teachers in London and asked her terms for a course of lessons. "You want. this information for a friend, I suppose 'f" said the teacher. "No, it is for myself." "But I have seen you on the stage. You have great talent. You can teach me many things.” - “No. I am only a beginner. I have. much to learn. I must; devote myself to hard study." The teacher, who had trained many actresses for the stage, was astonished by this revelation of good sense.and modesty. The. young girl had an unexpected triumph at. the beginning of her career, but she had not lost her self-possession. She knew her limitatons, and at once set. to work to complete. her education for the stage. A young artist. once visited the stu- dio of a great: master in Paris, and. bashfully, asked him to pass judgment upon a new work which he had finish- ad, but was almost ashamed to show to anyone. "Well," said the master, when he had grimly and critically surveyed it. “You may yet be a genius; but; you have so many things to learn that, per- haps, you would better not go on with your work.” . "Yet you see promise in it ?" (IS-785.01 "Then I am content to spend a few years in overcoming my worse faults. Tell me what they are that I can be- gin this very night." "Now, I am sure you will be a great painter." ‘ The aniateur's’greatest danger lies in overâ€"confidence, induced by early but indecisive success. If it blinds him to a sense of his own limitations, and leads him to think that he has nothing, instead of everything to learn, early success may prove a fatal misfortune. "livery new story of mine," said a successful English novelist not long ago, costs the more labor than the. last one. I find there is so much to learn in my art." _â€"-â€" COIN TRICKS. Begin by rolling up the sleeves so that the arms are bared. Hold the left hand extended, palm upwards, and on the tip of each finger and thumb bal~ once a coin. Place the, right hand on top of the left, so that the money is held between the tips of the fingers of the two hands. Now turn the hands until the back of tin: right. hand is towards the audience. Fix your eyes on the ceil- ing, as if that had something to do with the trick; move the hands rapid- ly 'upward and downward twice, and While doing so bring the, tips of the fin- gers together, causingr the. coins to lap one over another. I as it were. wuli tn“. tips of tho; left-ban 1 fingers anddhunib. and quickly slide them down into the right paiin, where they are to be hold by pressuig on lllI'lll with the tip of the left thumb; finally, ai almost the same moment, make a third upward more. keeping tho, hands togeillcr‘uu‘l the eyes fixed above; line lizin ls xviZl appear to be. c_iiip_ty and the coins to have vanished.

Steadman Coe of \Vare thinks he has the best ail'round dog in America, bar none. He is a remarkably large. heavy English pointer of very high breed. and rejoices ill the concise and barkv name of Joe Coo, says a writer in tho Spring- field Republican. \l‘hcn Joe was a small dog his own- or, who is an enthusiastic bicyclist, [‘0' coming discouraged by the many hills around \Vare. began considering the problem of scouringr some sort. of a portable dynamo to aid him in his hill climbing. Being quite an expert in the handling of animals, he decided to use Jon in this capacity. Ho had a special harness constructed for the dog and be gan training him _immediately. Joe took kindly to the 111611, and tho exer- cise agreed With _lnm. He was fed freo- ly and grew \vithgreat bounds. the work causing his hind quarters to in< crease with special rapidity until they, were marked with lumps of well-hard- ened muscle, and appeared more after the. general pattern of a small horse than a dog). .lhe met_ 0d of operating Jon is very Simple. Hisharness consists of a breast: plate, a surcmglo to hold it in place. and a strap_extcniimg down the. backbone and ending in a ring at the base of the tail., lhc rest of the apparatus consists of a strap about four feet long with a. snap hook at. the further end, the strap being attached to the steering post of the bicycle, and when not in use wrap- ped around the handle bars. When a hill is reached Mr. Coo whistles to Joe and the pointer comes up alongside an allows the hooks to be snapped into the ring on the harness without. compelling the rider to dismount. He then jumps forward and pulls up the hill, dropping back at the to) to be loosened again. The hundred-o (1 pounds of active dog is_a wonderful assistance, and with a fair amount of work by the rider dos prives the steepest hill of its terrors. The anmial takes the hill in a strong! gallop. being able apparently to use his weightbetter in successive lunges, and also being evidently anxious to ct hi: work done. In this way a hil was taken at a. rate almost as fast as a level between the d ' and the rider, and in fact the dog wii take a moderate-sized hill alone, with the rider's feel; on the coasting bars, though Mr. Coo rarcly subjects him to such a strain. Mr. Coo has often taken his dog with him on trips of twentyâ€"five miles or more and the dog apparently is not at all tired. ‘- CURIOUS TIME MARKERS. Ilow Ilic South Pacific Islanders Tell the Time of Day. Neither clock nor timepiece is to be found in Liberia. The reckoning of timp is made entirely by the movement and position of the sun, which rises at 6 a.m. and sets at 6 p.m., almost to the minute all the year round, and at noon is ver- tically overhead. The islanders of the South Pacific have no clocks. but make an ingenious and reliable. i‘ime marker of their own. They take the kernels from the nuts of the candle tree and wash and string them on the rib of a palm loaf. The first or top kernel is then lighted. All of the kernels are of. the same Size and substance. and each Will burn a certain number of minutes and then sat fire to the. one next be- low. The natives tin pieces of black clolh at regular intervals along the string to mark the divisions of lime. Among the. natives of Singzir, in the Malay Archipelago. another peculiar de- Vice is used. 'l‘wo bottles are placed neck and neck. and sand is nil: in one of them. which pours itself into the other every half hour. when the. bullies are reversed. There is a line near by. also, on which are hung twelve rods. marked “'llh notches from one to twelve. ' -â€".~â€"-â€"â€"-â€"-â€"0â€"â€"~â€"â€" ~~ QUICK \l'I'lTTEl) “'OMAN.
