FARM NOTES.
—Our horses should be kept so they will
not only be in good flesh but in good phys-
ical condition so they will be fit for serv-
ice in the spring without any special prep-
aration. The history of nations has shown
that dry atmosphere is unfavorable to the
spread of contagious diseases, whilst the
moist or hot and damp atmosphere is most
favorable. The horse has ever produced
his highest type in a dry elevated region,
where there was a pure, dry, bracing at-
mosphere. The animals of greatest activity
dwell in dry and elevated regions, while
sluggish animals abound in low, marsh dis-
tricts. The damp stable favors the develop-
ment of fungi. Decomposition of litter,
dung and urine and waste of feed are all
rich in nitrogenous matter which decays
readily and defiles the atmosphere. The
dark, damp stable favors all fungous
growth, while light and dryness destroy it.
The damp stable is also unfavorable to the
healthy condition of the skin and lungs.
Therefore the first requirement is a good
feed barn or stable which should be located
so as to have good drainage. The stable
should be warm and comfortable, yet should
have ventilation. The foul odors which
arise from refuse matter, where there is
poor drainage and ventilation, is one of the
main causes of diseases among horses. Even
if it does not bring on the disease, the
horse will be in a condition to take any
contagious disease which may be in the
neighborhood. In connection with the
subject of ventilation, or keeping the at-
mosphere free from taint, the stable floors
play an important part. If the farmer will
arrange hisstalls and windows so that the
floors will receive the sunlight and fresh air
while the horses are out, he will add to the
neatness of his stable, rid it of foul odors
and prolong the life and usefulness of his
teams. On such floors, where the bedding
and filth are removed every day, we do not
find disgusting cases of thrush and grease.
Where the horse rans at large the sunlighs,
fresh air, rains and rolling, disinfect the
skin and absorb and remove the grease of
the system. When confined to thestable
and at the service of man, the horse de-
pends for these three offices on the faithful-
ness of his groom. The horse is not prop-
erly groomed when the filth and sweat bave
been scraped off so the neighbor or passer-
by can see it across the field. Still itis
better for the horse for the groom to have
this incentive than none at all. Let it be
kept in mind that the skin needs to be reg-
ularly cleaned for health’s sake. The share
which the skin has in throwing off impuri-
ties is generally underestimated. The skin
and lungs throw off impurities in the rela-
tion of 11 to 7. The blood cannot be kept
pure unless the lungs, kidneys and skin
are each in condition to remove the waste
of the system. The farmer who is nervous
and excitable and always in a rush, never
has horses in good condition. The horse
needs to be free from all excitement when
eating. It needs to be at rest and content-
ed. It does not matter so much what is
fed so it is sweet feed and fed in sufficient
quantity. The horseshould have sufficient
exercise at all times to keep him in a
healthy and vigorous condition. If he does
not get exercise any other way, he should
be turned out in a lot every day.—J. M.
Stephenson, in Prairie Farmer.
—The feeding trough which I use is of
different lengths, according to the number
of hogs in each pen. I make them 8, 12
and 16 feet long. The bottom is made of
two 2 by 10 grooved planks. On the top
of these planks I spike five pieces 2 by 4,
20 inches long, ‘‘equal distance apart.’’
These are set on edge (not flat), but before
I spike them on Icuta piece out in the
centre 2 inches deep and 4 inches long. The
depth is cut a little on the slant. Then I
spike one 2 by 4 on each side of this cut 22
inches long. This 2 by 4 is also toe nailed
to the bottom of the trough, 4 inches apart
at the bottom and a spread of 14 to 16 in.
at top. Then I take an 18-inch board and
nail on each side ‘‘on the inside’’ of these
upright 2 by 4’s, but I let theseside boards
drop into the cut made in the bottom 2 by
4, so the hoards are only 2 inches from the
bottom of the trough and have a 2 inch
clear spread at bottom, where the swill and
feed can come through. When I have this
all done, then I nail a 2 by 4 on the sides,
which makes the trough 2 inches deep.
Then nail up the ends tight as high as the
standards and the trough is complete. The
dimensions I have given are for a 16-foot
long trough and for old hogs. If the trough
is wanted for young shoats from three to
eight months old I use a narrow bottom; a
16 inch bottom is wide enough for little
pigs. The 20 inch is too wide for little
pigs as they will get in with their front
feet. These boards that are put in centre
of trough are to keep the hogs from getting
in with their feet; also to prevent spilling
feed and slop on their heads and ears. I
think this is the cleanest way of feeding
hogs and beats the feeding floor all to
pieces. I never saw the feeding floor yet
but what the hogs would leave their offal
on it while they were feeding and they
would have to clean up their feed in their
own droppings, but in this kind of a trough
they cannot drop anything, neither can
they get their feet in it while they are full
of mud.
—Whenever a hog 1s sick the owner
sometimes terms it ‘‘hog cholera’’ and he
will write for a remedy for such disease, al-
though his diagnosis may be wrong. In
many cases when corn is largely fed the
hog is sick because he has too much corn
and desires something else. He is, in fact,
starving in the midst of plenty, because,
while the corn provides fat, it is deficient
in bone forming element. Again, a few
lumps of charcoal, or a handful of wood
ashes, may effect an immediate recovery,
because the hog may need just such articles.
Feed some other feed with corn, and the
hogs will be more thrifty and less liable to
disease.
—When horses are not thrifty it may be
due to sameness of diet. A pint of linseed
meal three times a week will *‘loosen the
hide,”’” and the animal will soon show the
effects of such an addition to the food. If
the bowels are affected by the linseed meal
reduce the supply. It is harmlessand no
danger will result from its use, but it should
not be feed too freely to mares with foal.
Carrots should also be given in connection
with the linseed meal.
—This is the season when attention can
be given to the colt, and if foaled last fall
it may be weaned before spring work be-
gins. A colt soon learns to eat ground oats
and it will thrive and grow if such is al-
lowed in addition tothe milk received
from its dam. Colts should be kept warm
in winter, but should be given an oppor-
tunity to exercise.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
Life is a comedy to him who thinks, and
a tragedy to him who feels.
If you wish to acquire distinction in dress
with your separate waists see to it that
there is some relation in color between the
skirt and the bodice. The black skirt
with bright colored waists which have
no black in their composition is no
longer considered swell. For example,
a blue and fawn checked silk blouse is very
good style, with either a fawn or a black
cloth skirt, while with black it would be
very ordinary.
Knife plaited flounces appear on almost
everything. In evening dresses they are
especially effective. Two flonnces of differ-
ent coiors are used. For instances black is
used over white, gray over pink, blue over
cream, green over white, etc. A particular-
ly beautiful idea is to bring out different
shades of the same color. In a cashmere
house gown made for a debutante rose-
colored cloth is scalloped at the extreme
bottom to hang over three knife plaiting of
crepe de chine; each three is a different
shade of pink.
Stitching, by the way, is one of the dis-
tinctive features of a tailor made gown. It
is not at all expensive, but requires the
most exquisite exactness. Your silk must
be of the sort that positively will not break
or knot. The tension of your machine
must be set with a rather long stitch; and
when you once begin you must carry your
stitching along, without a break or flaw.
English tailors mark the goods with chalk,
in a mathematically straight line, never
basting it for fear of catching the basting
stitches. They use very lustrous silk
thread exactly matching the goods, and
they employ never less than three rows of
stitching to mark a hem or seam. Stitch-
ing is almost the only trimming they use
upon the most severe of their spring and
fall gowns, but they use it so plentifully
that it looks like a band of goods.
Stitched bands are very popular and very
easy to do. You cut your goods in strips
and stitch them in many rows, until you
have a stiffly stitched band, any where from
half an inch to aninch and a half wide.
This you use to strap your seams and to
trim your vests and cuffs and collar. It
makes a beautiful trimming for the seams
of your bodice and is an excellent finish
wherever you choose to place it. Yards
and yards of these stitched bands are used
upon the skirts and waists of the new tail-
or-made dresses.
Mrs. Lydia A. B. Woods, who died re-
cently at York, Neb., bequeathed $10,000
each to York and Falls City, in that State,
for the establishment of public libraries.
The residue of her estates, after some pri-
vate bequest, will go to the Denver Or-
phans’ Home.
A black satin or taffeta girdle made of
ribbon or the material of the bodice is still
the most stylish girdle. Inch wide black
velvet ribbon is an easy rival. Buy 3 in.
more than the correct length of double-
faced satin ribbon in its best quality.
Slip your buckle on one end of this, leav-
ing the 3 inches to hang loose. Never
change your buckle while you are wearing
the girdle. When putting it on first pin
your skirt down as far as you can, then pin
down that end of the girdle free from the
buckle. :
Carry the belt around the waist and pull
the buckle directly over the other end of
the girdle. This brings it down to a point.
Run a substantial, thick headed black pin
through the ribbons, just under the buckle
where it won’t show.
This manner of wearing the girdle saves
the ribbon. It keeps it intact from several
punctures by the tongue of the buckle and
saves you much trouble. If you do not
care to use the black satin or the black
velvet ribbon, cut 3 inches of bias taffeta or
grosgrain silk. Double it, stitch it with
two rows of silk thread on both sides and
put your buckle on in the same way.
A gold snake belt buckle will be very
stylish on either of these ribbons.
If you would have a beautiful throat one
must take heaps of trouble. All really
beautiful women do and the following is one
of the penalties they pay :—
To fill the troublesome hollows on each
side of the collar bone a system of deep
breathing is invaluable. Take a deep breath
hold it as long as possible, and then exhale
it very slowly. Repeat this ten times. Do
this twice a day.
As it is absolutely essential that the
muscles should be developed, the following
exercise must become a part of one’s daily
routine :—
1. Slowly bend the head forward till the
chin touches the neck. Then raise it very
gradually.
2. Slowly bend the head backward and
raise it again.
3. Bend sideways to right and left.
All these movements should be repeated
ten or fifteen times; and when you have
done this you will feel that every muscle
in your throat and neck is aching. Then
bathe the throat and neck in hot wa-
ter.
Dry thoroughly, and well massage in any
good cream, rubbing in with the tips of the
fingers till the skin has absorbed it all and
your neck is in a glow. With a soft rag or
towel wipe off any cream that may remain.
The massaging should be done with a ro-
tary motion.
Now dampen a soft rag or sponge, moist-
en the throat and neck with benzoin and
rose water, which is a skin tonic and helps
to close the pores, and so prevents dirt from
entering.
At last we are beginning to find a really
good reason for women lacking a sense of
humor—they are too good for it. Mary
Wilkins gives the reason indirectly in a
short story, ‘‘Susan,”” which has recently
appeared. Susan was a good and noble
woman, and one of her peculiarities, when
one came to analyze her, was that she nev-
er laughed, though she had a wonderful
smile. She was one of those rarely sympa-
thetic, clear sighted, well balanced people,
who keep themselves, and, to a great ex-
tent, the world around them, straight. She"
never laughed, because, as Miss Wilkins
says: ‘‘People, in order to laugh at any-
thing, in the face of the misery upon this
earth, have to have a streak of bitterness
and rebellion in them.” That's it, there
is more or less cruelty in so-called humor,
and women are too tender-hearted and
sympathetic for it.
The fashionable waist line has dropped
two or three inches below its accustomed
level. The winter bodice is that much
longer in front than in the back. Formerly
the corsetiere achieved the long waist for
her patroness by clasping her in long cor-
sets which pushed superfluous embonpoint
up toward the chin. Wow the short corset
is liked and even the long ones are only
long below the waist.
Chewing Coca Leaves.
Some Very Mysterious Powers Ascribed to the
Plant by the Indians of South America.
The Indians regard the coca with ex-
treme reverence. Von Tschudi, the Aus-
trian scientist, who made a most thorough
study of the ancient customs of the Incas,
says : ‘During divine worship the priests
chewed coca leaves, and unless they were
supplied with them it was believed that
the favor of the gods could not be gained.
It was also deemed necessary that the sup-
plication for divine grace should approach
the priests with an ‘acullico’ in his mouth.
It was believed that any business under-
taken without the benediction of coca
leaves could not prosper, and to the shrub
itself worship was rendered. During an
interval of more than 300 years Christiani-
ty has not been able to subdue this deep-
rooted idolatry, for everywhere we find
traces of belief in the mysterious powers of
the plant. The excavators in the mines of
Cerro del Paso throw chewed coca upon
the hard veins of metal, in the belief that
it softens the ore and renders it more easy
to work. The Indians even at the present
time put coca leaves in the mouths of
dead persons in order to secure them a fav-
orable reception on their entrance into an-
other world, and when a Peruvian on a
journey falls in with a mummy he, with
timid reverence, presents to it some coca
leaves as his pious offering.”’
One of the scientific explorers who has
been working up this region told me of his
experience with a coca chewer. ‘‘A man
was employed by me,’”’ he said, ‘‘in very
laborious digging. During the five days
and nights he was in my service he never
tasted food and took only two hours’
sleep each night, but at intervals of two
hours and a half or three hours he repeat-
ly chewed about half an ounce of coca
leaves, and kept an ‘acullica’ continually
in his mouth. I was constantly beside him,
and therefore had the opportunity of close-
ly observing him. The work for which I
had engaged him being finished, he accom-
panied me on a two days’ journey across
the level ground. Though on foot he kept
the pace of my mule and halted only for
the chaccar (chewing). On leaving me he
declared that he would willing engage him-
self again for the same amount of work,
and that he would go through it without
food if I would but allow him a sufficient
supply of coca. The village priest assured
me that this man was 62 years of age, and
that he had never known him to be ill in
his life.”
A New Judicial District.
Attorneys in this section of the State will
be interested in the bill, which was intro-
duced in the national house Tuesday by
Mr. Connell. The bill has for its object
the erection of a new federal judiciary dis-
trict in Pennsylvania. It proposes to de-
tach from the present eastern and western
districts of the State the counties of Lack-
awanna, Wyoming, Bradford, Monroe,
Wayne, Pike, Susquehanna, Carbon, Tioga,
Potter, Cameron, Clinton, Lycoming, Cen-
tre, Union, Snyder, Mifflin, Juniata,
Northumberland, Montour, Columbia, Sul-
livan, Luzerne, Dauphin, Lebanon, Perry,
Huntingdon, Fulton, Franklin, Adams,
York and Cumberland, and make what is
to be called the middle district. A circuit
and district court are to be held as in all
other districts, the district being attached
to the third judicial circuit, the district
courts are to be held as follows.
At Scranton, on the first Monday of
March and October each year ; at Williams-
port, on the second Monday of January
and second Monday of June each year ; at
Harrisburg, on the first Monday of May
and second Monday of November each
year.
The salaries of the district judge, mar-
shal, district attorney and clerks are to be
the same as in the present western district.
All local actions, suits and proceedings
pending in any of the courts of the eastern
and western district at the time of the or-
ganization of the middle district, and
which relate to property embraced within
the territory of the middle district, are to
be proceeded with no further in those
courts, but upon petition of either or any
of the parties by the order of court be re-
moved to the proper court of the middle
district. Costs of removal are to be as-
sumed as other charges in any action.
Courtesy Versus Convenience.
Matt W. Ransom, late Senator from
North Carolina and Minister to Mexico,
made politeness a point of conscience, and
his manners were celebrated throughout
the capital, relates the Youth’s Companion.
One day, as he was walking to the Senate
chamber, he saw approaching him the very
worst bore of his acquaintance. The Sena-
tor wasalarmed. Many things were on his
mind at the time and he dreaded the
thought of half an hour in such company.
Nearer and nearer came the hore, but as
he smiled and touched his hat, Ransom’s
feelings overcame him. With a short
‘‘Howdy-do,’’ the Senator brushed swiftly
past.
The bore had paused, but, evidently
hurt at this curt dismissal, proceeded sad-
ly on his way. Ransom’s conscience smo e
him. His conduct had been such as it had
never heen before. After ten steps he
turned, and, with a pleasant smile called
back :
‘‘Goodby,”’ Simpkins. I’ve been think-
ing a mighty heap about you lately, Simp-
kins.”
The bore’s face relaxed delightedly.
“Ah 1’ said he, returning.
Ransom waved him back wildly with
both hands, erying :
“I’ve heen thinking a mighty heap about
you lately, Simpkins, but don’t come
back, Simpkins, don’t come back !”’
Conventions and Conventions.
Sunday school people are leading in
showing how to run conventions. The
Pennsylvania State conventions in Harris-
burg, Johnstown and Reading, in recent
years, were notable gatherings, but there
are counties like Dauphin, Delaware, Jef-
ferson, Buck: Columbia, Luzerne and
many others where the delegates number
hundreds of men and women from all over
the county and representing every de-
nomination. The programs are rich dis-
cussions, lectures and conferences, on such
movements as the Home Department, Pri-
mary Work, Grading the Sunday school,
Supplemental Bible Studies, and others.

Their prices are right and their guarantee is behind the goods, which means many a dollar to the
farmer. The more conservative farmer wants to see the goods before he buys, and buy where he can
get repairs when needed, for he knows that the best machinery will wear out in time. Goods well
bought is money saved. Money saved is money earned. Buy from the largest house, biggest stock
lowest prices ; where the guarantee is as good as a bond ; where you ean sell your corn, oats, wheat
hay and straw for cash, at the highest market prices, and get time on what you buy. All who know
