How to stop a runaway Horse
When you st-o a ruuaway Iwrse com
Inj, di not try to cLeck bim by a ru.-h
from the o;ioUe .lire ction or tie siJe,
tor you will be immediately knockc!
Hat by the collifion, tut instead
prepare yourself for a short rurr
with the horse. JU.vure with your -ye
the distance, and start for tLe run whi e
he la yet some way off, perhaps ten fet
in the cawe of fair to medium runawavs.
You may ileimJ uron hia keering a
straight line, for a really frightened
home is half blind, and would uot eer
for a steam engine. He will go straight 1
ahead until he smashes into something- '
do you col eloae to the liseoo which j
he la rushing, and. aa he passes you, j
grab the reins near the sadd!e. Gather j
lao mas Urmly. and tken. ieunmg
backward aa you run, give them a pow
erful Tack. Yoa may be ab'e to trace
yourself somewhat as yen give this
yank, half sliding on your feet. The
strong jerk oa the bits tells the horse
that he again hiu has a roaster, and
prepares him for the Gnal strug'e. A
step or two forwird after the Cist yauk,
do it again. This Is the Cnishlng
stroke It never fails when given by a
determined mar. The horse is on his
hauaches. Keep a firm pull on the
reins till yea grasp the horse br the
nostrils, and hold him so until kt is
pacified.

Chicken IIouc.
One of the difficulties in chlcnan rais
ing is that but few ben houses Lave been
built which answer for both winter at,d
summer, says a correspondent of the
American Itural Home. For fi-ck
of twenty fowls I prefer a honsr 12x12
feet, 7 feet high at the rear and 9 ih"
at the front, the roof to be of tarred
paper, and the floor of close boards.
Board floors are prefered as they can be
swept off with a broom if kept well
dusted with dry earth and as they are
always dry, there will be less liability
to dampness. The floor shou'd be rais
ed about three feet from the ground
the front side open to the yard. The
object in raising it up three feet is to
guard against harboricg rata. It a'so
affords an open shelter In winter, as the
three closed sides protect the fowls
against the winds and affjrd shade in
the summer. In other words It is a
covered run for the fowls and really
gives double space, as the birds can lav
and roost above, steps being provided
.for them to go np or down to the space
above the floor. A. small window on
the south ride will give all necessary
light, as too much glass causes loss of
heat by radiation at night.
The roost should be about six Inches
above a two-foot wide board, at the
rear of the boase and the nests under
neath, which saves space. Of course
two or three steps will be necessary in
crder to enter the door to the upper
part, which sbuld be on the west end of
the bouse near the front. The floor un
der the board floor should be of earth,
raistd about the surrounding ground,
or if one inch wire mtsn be underlaid
the floor to keep the rats out, it may be
of boards. The interior may be lined
with any kind of cheap building paper.
There should be two ventilators at the
two highest corners of the house to be
kept open during the day onlr. Such a
house is excellent for winter. In sum
mer the windows may be taken out and
a screen wire tetilrg put In place and
the opening in the floor where the fowls
enter may then be covered with a screen
also. This plan will if the ventilators
are kept open give plenty of fresh air In
summer.
Snow Forts in War.
A great many young play-warriors
have built formidable snow forts but
they Duver have imagined, probably,
that there could be such a thing as the
use of snow forts by actual soldiers, and
for purposes of defecce against bullets.
Qately. however, the Norwegian officers
have b en conducting some interesting
experiments in snow fortifications.
A colonel in the royal service recent
ly constructed entrenchments of packed
snow about three yards in thickness.
Thtn he placed a firing detachment a
distance of thirty-three yards from the
ttie entrenchments and caused
300 rifle ehots to be fired into the fort.
After the tiring the enow walls were ex
amined and it was found that not a sin
gle rifle ball bad penetrated more than
a yard and a quarter into the snow.
The bullets were found flattened out
as If they had been fired into some
hard substance.
.such breastworks would nndoubedly
prove very useful against infantry, in a
winter campaign. In a bnowy country.
But a military force entrenched bvthind
them would have occasion to fear a thaw
or a heavy raiu quite as much as the
bullets of the enemy.
Depth to Set Posts.
Correspondents In different parts of
the country differ widely as to the
depth of bole needed for fence posts
Some sav tbat two feet ia ample depth
while others Insist on three feet. Both
may be and probably are right. The
depth must vary with the probable
freezing cf the soil. The bottom of
the post ought to be at least six inches
below the probable depth of freezing
Tbat amount of soil will remain packK
about the foot of the post and hold it
down. Something also depends on the
material of which the fence is made
iioarda offer too much resistance to
winds, and at the top of the fence act
on the post as on a lever, twisting it
out of the ground. Fence rails attach,
ed to posts have the additional objVc
lion mat their weight sags the post so
soon as the wind causes It to lean
Careful farmers now make post-arid
rail fences with one or two strands of
barbed wire at the top. After a little
experience with this fence ty hading
stock np to it they generally learn to
give it a wide berth. Such a fence will
not blew down nor easily sag If the
pos's are sunk below frost depth.
'Drilled" Wheat.
When the farmer sowed his wheat in
the old-fashioned way by stalking ovr
the fields with a bag hnng aroona his
neck and flung his seed to the four
winds; hen the implements of the
farmer were crude and hia mechanical
resources limited, the cold ard frost
were the dread foes of the tillers of the
"West and Northwest. Great progress
baa been made In the art of agrieuK
tnre since that period. But la the
march of Improvement the weather
problem bad to he mastered. An in
genious Yankee did It. lie invented
the 'drill," with which every farmer
in the West now sows bis wheat. It
saves time and labor and. In the event
of a severe freeze, it saves the plant It
self. Every grain of wheat ratsed In
the great wheat growing section Is
drilled wheat, and the universal testi
mony of the fames is that drilled wheat.
In its early growth, can't be "frozen
out," because the root of the plant is
too deep in the ground, whereas the
hand-sown wheat of former days took
root very near the surface, and neces
sarily suffered In severe weather.

A Maelstrom In a Lake.
An Inland lake with a maelstrom is a
curiosity not generally supposed to ex
lt ; y-t there is such a phenomenon in
Florida. Lake Jactson is a lake six
miles nortn of Tallabssee. It is eigh
teen miles long in high water and
twelve durlDg low water, and here is
the point and reason of the maelstrom.
The legends of dates differ in time
somewhat, but the first great maelstrom
is placed in Angost, 154a At that
lime some negroes were fishing not far
from the north end. Suddenly a loud
noise was heard, and their little boat
began to moTe around in a large circle
the center of which deflected m the
form of a eooe. Soon their craft be
gan to revolve so rapidly that the
party got frightened and started for the
shore. The negroes had a difficult voy
age, as the maelstorm rapidly increased
In size and power. They succeeded in
time and turned to look at the disturb
ance. Soon the roar became terifSc
aod attracted not oaly all the slavson
the great Jackson estates surrounding
the like, bnt the aristocratic white
owners as well. It was several days
before the waters calmed down, aud
then it was discovered that the lake
bad lowered f mm aiahti. .n.. i
v.gubCTu uiiirs iu
length to twelve. Meantime the resi
dents alonp; the Oclockine river, five
miles away, were terrified by an enor
mous tidal wave, as they at first sup.
posed it to be. but which proved to be,
the departing waters of Jackson lake.'
The river duriDg the maelstorm was
swollen to more than twice its usual
size. After the lake calmed down the
inhabitants examined the scene of the
maelsirom. A great Lole was found to
have been excavated in the bottom of
trie lake fn the form of a cave. It Lad
ben cioggad with los, fish, alligators
and debris of all descriptions, which
proved fortunate, as it saved the lake
from destruction. During the next
seven years the lake gradually filled to
its former level ; then for seven years
it lowered gradually to the leyel estab
lished by the maelstrom. This re
markable alternation has continued
regularly since, i visited the lake last
winter and spent several weeks hunting
and Ashing in the vicinity. The lake
at that time was at its lowest. I
was told by the negroes tbat the time
had arrived for it to begin the first of

Cream fur Churning.
There happens just now to be trou
blsome uncertainly as to the keeping
and churning of cream, due to eager
desire to make clear what is at presed
inexplicable, and to the seeming; strife
among certain dairy writers to e sen
sational. Hence the term "ripening"
of cream and consequent confusion.
Cream Is "ripe" when ready for churn
ing an.l making the best quality of but
ter. This condition is a moderate de
gree of acidity or sourness, and the
practical batter-maker may be sure
tnere Is nothing more than this needed
with cream ftee from all uncleanliness
to make the best and most butter.
Some time ago these "experts" at
present loudest on "ripening were
equally vociferous In praise of cburnir g
sweet cream. But now it is alleged
tbat sweet cream will not jiald bo
much butter by 20 or 25 per cent, as
ripened or sour cream.
The latter statement Is an wide of
the mark as It was to say the sweet
cream makes best-flavored butter.
Some persons prefer their butter to be
Insipid free from tbat aroma which is
its most desirable quality to ordinary
consumers. Ripened cream which
makes finely flavored butter, has just
entered the first stage of decomposition
known as acidity. If this decomposi
tion goes too far the flavor becomes
gradually stronger until it ends in rau
cidity. At this season there is danger
of the cream, by too long keeping, be
coming too soar or overripe, and con
sequently making Inferior butter. This
is to be avoided with every care, but
especially by keeping the milk at a
temperature below CO degrees and the
cream still cooler when a charting Is
only made once a week.
A Famous Dish or Long Ago.
Another dish which was noted in the
olden time went down at the same
period. This was the peacock. It was
served in two ways. The bird was
skinned, the body roasted, and the skiu
placed or it again before it wa? sent to
the table, or it was made into a pie with
the neck and bead and the tail fastened
to the crust. In any event a rich gravy
was served with it, and it will sound
strange to modern cooks to learn tbat
mutton stock was always used. Some
of the old receipes order three sheep
bruised and made into gravy for one
paacock. When served it was carried
to the table by the most distinguished
lady ia the company, aDd it was her
place to carve.it. The knights present
were accustomed to take fantastic oaths
"on the peacock." "When Eleanor, the
Queen of Edward III., brought In the
peacock, the King swore on the bird
that be would take Calais and put Us
citizens to the sword. It was tbat
same Eleanor that begged the lives of
the burgesses from ber fiery "husband.
The best grasses are those naturally
adapted to the soil. In America about
one dozen varieties are specialties,
while in England the farmers select
from over a hundred. A firm sod of
native grass should never be turned un
der to make room for soma other kind
until the new grass has been tested on
the farm. Soila vary, and grass that
may thrive on one farm may fail on an
other. Nearly all the breeds of fancy
poulty are bred in cities, mostly by
clerks, book-keepers and those who
wiah to devote a proportion of their
leisure time to something elee. They
do a business of over 11,000,000 annu
ally In selling pnre breeds, and under
stand the business of poultry raising
better than the farmers.
