TT1E CITIZEN, FRIDAY-, JULY 10, 1000. HINTS FOR FARMERS Ground Feed For Horses. For horses nt lmrd work for long hours all the grain should bo ground and mixed with chopped liny, says American Cultivator. A great deal of time and energy can thus bo saved. If the horses are required to do hard iworlc only a few hours each day the oats need not he ground. Because of ,thclr bulky nature oats nro easier mas ticated than other grains. Old horses or others with poor teeth should always have ground grain. It Is almost Impossible for them to make use of the whole grain. During the spring months or at any reason of the year when they nro shedding teeth ,colts should have ground grain in or der to prevent any unnecessary use of tho jaws during such n period. It is argued by some that the cost of grinding will not make it profitable to grind feed for horses not ut work un less they have defective teeth. But where one Is prepared to grind his grain himself tho work can bo done at odd times and tho expense of grinding uccd hardly enter Into the question. Around tho Farm. There Is nothing like rotation, thor ough cultivation nud plenty of good barnyard manure to keep tho soil In good shape. There Is a lot of satisfaction In work ing in good, mellow soil. It can bo kept right only by constant, systematic working. Tho poor places In the dooryard should bo attended to at once. They arc an eyesore to you and a discredit to your place. Grass seed can he worked into tho ground after It Is loosened. In buying farm machinery always get the best and most reliable. It will prove cheapest In tho end. Tho right way to handle manure Is to handle it as llttlo as possible. Put it where you can use it at once. Keej) tho cultivator shovels bright and sharp. They will do better work and the team will do more work. Kimball's Dairy Farmer. Heart Girth and Vitality. The hoys at the Nebraska experi ment station tried out some steers last winter to determine the typo that make tho host feeders. They took tho measurements of each one In tho most minute particular. Tho .steer that made the best gain iu tho feed lot was the one having the largest heart girth in proportion to weight. Tho steer showing the lightest gain had a very email heart girth. While this is the result of only one winter's work and cannot be taken as establishing any positive law, still it looks very much as if cattle with largo lung power, with a good heart and consequently perfect digestion are best calculated to make big gains In the feed lot, and we thought everybody knew this all along. Denver Field and Farm. Feather Pulling Fowls. Feather pulling is a habit said to come from idleness. When onco tho fowls learn tho habit they seem to delight in eating the feathers. The re lief suggested Is plenty of grit, oyster shells and some dry lime mortar from a building, offered freely. A piece of fat pork tied to a strong cord and swung in reach of tho fowls seems to give some relief. Tho cause of this habit seems to bo the lack of lime in the system of tho fowls. Fowls on the range seldom acquire it, while those in confinement too often do. Even cockerels yarded to be fattened and those in crates for crate fattening often acquire the habit. Country Gen tleman. Prepotency of the Sire. About the most reliable basis of cal culation as to the power of transmis sion, or, as it Is called, prepotency of tho bull, is tho dairy character of the grandmothers and great-grandmothers on both sides of his pedigree. Ho is tho stored up results of what lies back of him. The quality of his ancestors will havo more effect ou his offspring than the performance of his mother. She gives to him of what she inherited more than of what she does. She may bo rich in inherited qualities and yet for somo reason bo herself only an ordinary performer. To Fatten Broilers. An excellent mixture for fattening broilers is made as follows: One hun dred pounds of finely ground barley, 100 pounds of finely ground corn, 100 pounds of finely ground oats, with hulls sifted out, to which mixture is added thirty pounds of beef scraps. Buttermilk or sklmmllk is used for mixing, tho former being preferred Tho birds are fed twico a day at in tervals of twelve hours and aro kept on tms met for three weeks. Value of Cultivation. Probably no operation on tho farm pays as well on tho investment as the extra tillage requisite to secure ideal conditions. Clods repel tho tiny roots and vacancies between carry neither ready moisture nor food. Sometimes, especially in dry seasons, tho differ ence in yield between a cloddy soil and one open, mellow, with availablo food easy to reach and moisture- nt will, ap- proacnea 100 per cent Professor J.

DAVISON Rutland, Vt. 3C000000C0CO00000000CG THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN. International Bible Lesson for July 18, '09 (Acts 17: 1-15). Whenever the enemies of Paul heard of his np proach.they said: "These that have turneu the world tipsldo d o w n have come hither also." Paul was in tho habit of preaching straight from the shoulder, and wasting no time in glittering gen eralities, and while he did not go out of his way to provoke people to wrath, If they took offense at his presentation of tho truth, he never asked anybody's pardon for hurting their feelings. He made It his busi ness to know but ono thing among men: "Jesus Christ, and Him cruci fied." But the discussion of that theme in Paul's day was as unaccepta ble as an abolition speech would have been In tho South before tho war, or since, 'for that matter, or a eulogy on William J. Bryan In a Republican Presidential nomination convention. When the apostle came to Thessalo- nica on his Itinerary he aroused the usual opposition. He had no sooner begun to deliver his message than his enemies started tho story that he was presenting the claims of a rival king, and they stirred up the whole city, committed assault and battery upon Jason, in whose house he was being entertained, and brought the entire church Into police court, and swore that Paul had said that there was an other king, one Jesus, which of course. was treason to Caesar. Half Truths Whole Lies. Didn't the Jews know better than that? Certainly. Didn't they fully understand that Paul was talking about a heavenly kingdom and a spiritual king? Assuredly. What was their object then? Simply to get rid of the preacher. And to do it they took the method of the hypocrite and the sneak in all ages, and told a half truth In such a way as to make It a whole lie. No lies aro so vile as those which pervert and distort the truth. To prove their point those scoundrels went Into court and swore that Paul was preaching up a king. They bore testimony that they had heard hlra press the claims of the king. It was a unanimous verdict; treason to Caesar. Liars! Paul was himself a Roman citizen, and always preached submission to "the powers that be." There was not a drop of disloyal blood In his veins. But the mob put their own interpretation upon his words and chased him out of town. And many a man since then has met the same -fate. Misinterpreted, mis meanings read into his utterances that were never dreamed of by him, his enemies have shouted their half truths into the air until the mob has been aroused and tho whirlwind de veloped. The True Test. Persecuted in one city the apostle (led to another, and brought up at the little town of Berea, a few miles far ther on. And hero tho preacher found a different class of people. They heard the new doctrine and they said at once, "We will look Into this mat ter for ourselves." So they got out their Bibles, and "searched the Scrip tures dally whether these things were so." That Is the only proper and de cent treatment to accord the preach er. Make him prove It. If he can not show It to you in the book, do not accept it, no matter who says it Is there. If he can show it to you In the book accept It, believe it, appro priate it, live It, though all the forces of earth and all the devils in hell shall oppose. It will make a sensation in your heart; In your family perhaps; In the church, doubtless; In the com munity, .sure, some of the things he will point out to you. But If you find them there you are bound to stand by them though the heavens fall. Of that sort of preacher the world has but few, and they are growing fewer every day. Nevertheless, "the foundation of the Lord standeth sure, having this seal: Tho Lord knoweth them that are His." Hidden Treasures. The true preacher causes people to search the Scriptures. It Is a book on astronomy, and every one should search it until they find tho "Star of Bethlehem," tho "Bright and Morning Star." It Is a treatise on geology, and every one should study It until they And "Tho Rock, Christ Jesus," und "the Stone that has become the head of the corner." It is a work on mathe matics, and everyone should search It until they can figure out "what it shall profit a man to gain tho whole world, and lose his own soul," It Is a tome on grammar, and overy one should peruse It until they know the difference between big "I" and little "u". It la a spelling book nnd overy one should study It until they can spell dls-appolntments with an H. Of all such the words of the Scriptures will be their highest eulogy: "These wore more noble than those of Thossa- lonlca, In that they searched tho Scrip tures dally whether these things were - ? A- FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Sewing Hooks and Eyes. Try this quick way of putting hooks and eyes on a wnlst. Sew the eyes on tho loft front the desired distance apart, with tho loops out far enough , to make hooking easy; then baste the right front carefully over the left, lap ping as much as may bo desired. Turn the waist Just as It Is wrong side out, put n hook In every eye and sow It in position. To mark the place for buttons, pin tho buttonholed edge of the garment in Ijjncc, then with a needleful of thread begin at ouo end nnd take n single stitch In overy buttonhole, car rying tho thread to tho opposite end. Cut tho thread halfway between the buttonholes, lift off tho cloth, nnd there will bo a bit of thread where each button should be sowed. Care of Gloves and Veils. Silk and lisle gloves wash readily In lukewarm suds made of good white soap. They should be well rinsed. squeezed In a towel and hung up to dry. A soiled chiffon veil or scarf may be laundered in exactly the same way as tho gloves, taking care not to wring or squeeze It. The dirt must be gently patted out. AVhilo still wet It must be pinned in Its proper shape on a table or bed, and after it is dry the edge may bo pressed with a warm Iron. If ono will carefully darn the toes and heels of tho thlu lisle and silk stockings with u fine silk thread before wearing they will wear much longer. The stitches must be taken only up nnd down in parallel rows, uot across. Some Uses For Lemons. A teaspoonful of lemon Juice In a small cup of black coffee will drive away an attack of bilious headache. A little lemon Juice rubbed on the face, arms and neck at night will not only whiten but soften the skin. A pasto made of magnesia and lemon Juice applied to the faco and hands when lying down for fifteen minutes will bleach tho skin beautifully. not lemon Juice and sugar or hot lemonade for a cough has rarely been known to fall of giving relief. Embroidery Stiletto. Tho embroidery stiletto herewith shown will punch any size holes de sired in a fabric. By any size, of course, is meant any of tho sizes used in that sort of work. Tho device con sists of a small rod tapering Into a sharp point nnd equipped with a han dle. Along this rod runs a gauge de vice held in position by a screw. Tho nearer this gauge is to the point of tho stiletto the smaller tho hole made, and, -conversely, when It Is run back MAKES HOLES OF ANY SIZE. toward tho handlo the circumference of tho holes may bo increased to that of tho rod itself. It can thus be made to pierce any size holes, from small eyelets to comparatively largo circles. Heretofore, unless a woman had au assortment of stilettos of various sizes, nnd few had such a variety, only ono size hole could be made in a fabric with any degree of accuracy, and neat, graduated circles were fodnd only in bought designs. Fruit Mint Julep. Boll together for ton minutes three pints of water and a pound and a half of granulated sugar. Add to this one packed cup of chopped mint leaves. Cover and let stand for ten minutes, then strain and cool. Add to this the strained Juice f ono dozen lemons, one cup nnd a half of strained orange and strawberry juice, and let all stand an hour. Pour into a punch bowl con taining a lA-ge piece of Ice, add a bot tle of apolllnarls and garnish wltb cherries and sprigs of mint. Elderberry Wine. Pour two gallons of warm water on every seven pounds of berries, then to every two gallons of this Juice add seven pounds of whlto sugar. Stem and mash berries in earthen Jar, pour on tho water, let stand three days, stir ring every day, then strain or press, ndd the sugar and let stand overnight, tn morning skim off, put In a largo Jug or keg to ferment When through, cork Jug tight or bottle.

A bluff is never a luxury, but often a necessity. It Is hard for a woman to be a good cook and keep one. Being n dead one Is n slow way of getting a living. There Is ono thing about dying vou never have to do It over ngaln. One of the joys of going away for the summer is coming back for the winter. Don't nurse a desire for revenge. It Is generally pretty healthy, nnd your effort is wasted. When a man Is hungry he growls. When a woman Is hungry she goes nnd gets something to eat. Most anything will pay. The only question to bo decided Is, Who? Neglected Season. Tho tuneful poets warble Of Bwoet and chilly sprlns, At seasons unresponsive Their pretty fancies fling. Let's sins a sons of summer, For really don't you say It ought to havo a look In When poets tuno their lay? Perhaps tho spring Is useful, And in a modest way It sort of gets things going To start tho big display, But wero it not for summer To mako tho work complete. Pray, where would be the harvest And all tho things to eat? Yes, summer Is a charmer, Not knocking any one. Its skies are fair and balmy, And friendly is Us sun, Perhaps at times too friendly, But still you don't suppose We'd sing nbout the summer Were It to freeze our toes. Then sing tho balmy summer, And while Us charms we scan, For goodness" sake, dear brother, Start that electric fan.
