They'll be sore if youdo. Put on a pair of rubber gloves. | —Take the chill off the water for the mare, and feed her carefully and keep her quiet for a number of days. —An attendant should be on hand at the time of birth, for a little timely help | has saved many a valuable colt. ; —Grow as much feed as is possible. | Get the soiling crops is as early as the land will permit. not lose a day. —When the brooder chicks seem very thirsty, wild for water, let them drink and feed very lightly while so feverish. —Remember when you plow in the! orchard that the roots are very near the | surface. Three inches is plenty deep enough. | —Some fruit growers say that it is not | a good plan to plow an orchard when the | trees are in blossom,—better do it before ! or after. —When you hurry about milking, the cow feels uncomfortable and shortens up | on you a little. That hurts you and hurts the cow as well. i —How long will our orchards bear the | neglect seen on every hand?

The tender little chicks need warmth more jan they do feed for the first twenty-four | urs. —Some folks get to be pretty good guessers in determining the temperature | of cream, but nobody ever came within gunshot of the thermometer in this re- spect. i —A packer declares that the cost of icking a barrel of apples on very large, | trees is 20 cents per barrel, while on | low-headed trees the cost does not exceed | 7 cents. i —The root cutter is almost an indis- | e machine on the farm. The life of many a valuable cow would have been saved if the apples and potatoes fed had | been run through a root cutter. —When the leaves begin to grow, the canker-worm may commence to move up on the trunks of fruit and other trees.

A minister was tearing his Sunday school repent the catechism one Sun day preceding confirmation when a boy from the class of small children ventured to ask a question of the min: ister. Turning to the clergyman, the boy inquired in ap anxious tone, “Why | dues the multiplication table make peo ple wicked?" The minister thought at first that | the child had taken occasion to pro pound a conundrum at a most unseem- ly time and was about to reprove him when the earnestness of the expres: sion in the upturned face assured him that the question was asked in good faith and required a reply. “Why do you ask such a question, John? 1 wever knew it to do so” he . said. John turned to his catechism and read from it with a mystified air the question, “Did man grow worse as hw began to multiply? and the accom: pauying answer, “He did.” Two Convincing Reasons. Lord Peterborough, who lived in the reign of Queen Anne, was very frolic some, and one day, seeing from his carringe a dancing master with pear! colored stockings lightly stepping over the broad stones and picking his way in extremely dirty weather, he alight- ed and ras after him with drawn sword in order to drive him into the mud, but into which he of course foi- lowed himself. This nobleman was once taken for the Duke of Maribor ough and was mobbed in consequence. The duke was then in disgrace with the people, and Lord Peterborough was about to be roughly handled Turning to them, he sald: “Gentlemen, I can convince you by two reasons that [ am not the Duke of Marlborough. Ip the first place, | have only 5 guineas in my pocket, and. in the second. they are heartily at your service.” Patroness of Music. The origin of music is lost in en tiquity. Among civilized people it i« probably to be traced to the ancien! Egyptian priests. who employed this art in their religious rites and cere monies. From the Egyptians the | Greeks and the Romans derived their knowledge of music. The ancient He brews probably took with them into Palestine some of the songs they had learned in Egypt. The hymns used in the temple formed the basis of the melodies of the early Christian char:i, and from these hymns was formulate’ the first authoritative musical syste: St. Cecelia is termed the patroness of music.— Exchange. The Spit Snake. There is a snake belonging to thy small family causidae, inhabiting a® rica, that is said to have the power of ejecting its venom to a short distance This snake is called by the Dutch Boers “spuw slang.” or spit snake When this snake erects fis teeth the pressure of the maxillary bone on the gland causes the venom to flow in | drops. and it may be quite possible that by discharging air from its mouth the poison may be blown some dis tance. The Gypsies. The origin of the people known as gypsies remains largely a mystery Egypt. India. Persia and Arabia have in turn been pointed ou: as their origi nal country. but there is little deli- nite knowledge on the subject. The welght of evidence is in favor of their having originated in India. They first appeared in Europe about 1400 and from the Danube region spread all over the continent, appearing in Eng- land about 1520. Effective. “The climax to bis weoing was very rcemantic.

There have been great advocates at rming refined, fascinating manner, are wel- come where mere benuty is denied and where mere wenith is turned away. They will make a berter impression than the best education or the highest attainments Ap attractive personali- ty, even without great ability, often advances one when great taient and special training wili not, There i= always a premium upon a charming presence. Every business man likes to be surrounded by people of pleasing personality and winning manners. They are regarded as splen- did assets. What is it thar often enables one person to walk right into a position and achieve without difliculty that which another, with perhaps greater ability, struggles in vain to accom- plish? Everywhere a magnetic per souality wins iis way. Young men and young women are constantly being surprised by offers of excellent positions which come to them because of qualities ané charac- teristics which perhaps they have nev. er thought much about—a tine man- per. courtesy, cheerfulness and kindly, obliging, neipful dispositions. Outcome of a Curious Wager Made In England In 1808. A wager was made in 1806 in the castle yard. York, Englana, between Thomas Hodgson and Samuel White- ead as to which should succeed in as- suming the most singular character. Umpires were selected whose duty it was to decide upon the comparative absurdity of the costumes in which the two men were to appear. On the appointed day Hodgson came before the umpires decorated with banknotes of various values, his coat and vest being entirely covered with them. Be- sides these he had a row of five guinea pieces down his back, a netted purse of gold around his head and a placard on his back bearing the legend. “John Bull.” Whitehead came on the scene dress- ed like n woman on one side, one half of his face painted and a silk stocking and slipper on one foot and leg. ‘The other half of his face was blackened $0 as to resemble a negro. On the cor- responding side of his body he wore a gaidy long tailed tinen coat, his leg on that side being incased in half a pair of leather breeches and a boot with a spur. He wore a wig of sky blue braided down nis back and tied with yellow, red and orange colored ribbons. One would uaturatly fancy that he presented the most singumr and di ecrous appearance, but the umpires must have thought differently, as they awarded the smkes some £20, to Hodgson - London ‘I'atler.
