Ten stone ten of New Chum went bouncing away from him like n rubber ball, and struck the ground none too "titly. Cropper picked h'ni seif up painfully and remarked to Barnes: "A little of this will go a long way With me.'' It did. It went a long wnv toward making it impossible for a horse ever again to catch him unawares. There wv.s one man in the party to whom Cropper didn't cotton. That wan Johnson, th one-eyed cook. It was B ease of mutual dislike. Johnson bad begun by trying to rough Cropi-r, nd was promptly called down hard at fho muzzle of a g'-,.. Me wcak-Micil at pice, but be got some satisfaction out Of telling the others wh.it terrible things be would do one of these live Jays. Tb New Chum knew he wasn't cared by the gun, ho said, and lie re ferred to the net as a cowardly bluff. That gave Ibirne an idea. "Look here. Johnson, why didn't you call him out';" bo asked. "Call him out. Tell blm you want to HCttl: the thing. There ar the two M.v'inl rilles In your wagon, say you're willing to meet lilin ami tight with them. If be wcakci.s. you've got him. If he agrees, we'll doctor the cartridges so os you won't hrrt one another." The cook's one rye sparkled at the thorv.hr. "I ll call 1.1m out. nil right." he s-ild. When lie lied digested the Idea. "I'll call him out. all right, at-d yon needn't doctor tlie cartridges, either. You'll 1 see. If he doesn't g t frightened, why, I'll mak a sieve of him at a hundred yards." "Hundred grandmothers!" Barnes said In disgust. "Do you think we're going to waste all the ammunition In the wagon? You'll meet at ten yards. nd you can hnve th ammunition faked or not. Just as you please." The eook hesMnted. "I don't want to mangle him." he said, finally. "If we meet at tvn yards mnybe unaybs you'd better fake ti.e bullets." "That's settled, then," Barnes de clared. "I ll second Cropper. If be won't corns to tlsse I will. I'll he behind blm." "fluid on there." the cook exclaimed, excitedly. "We haven't bad any trouble yod and me. We've got no call to tight." "This end of th 'we' dies and will," Barnes said, grimly, "unless this busi ness Is settled at once. Is It to be faked or not?" , "Why er fuked," of course," said the cook. "I don't know as I really want to hurt him. A fright will do blm a bit of good, though." Then Mr, . Johnson had another thought. "Of conn, be won't know It's to be fake. There's no need to tell him that" "No, of course not," Barnes replied, sarcastically. "He Isn't a sure thing tasn, you know. Couldn't be. Hu'i nly white." The cook began to fidget and fingered cartridge nervously. "How do I know you won't forget to fake tbemT be asked. "Oh. that's all right, Johnson." the boss put In cheerfully, "I'U attend to that for you."

I'm backing Cookie." ' Come on, then," said the angry new chum. "U he must have It, he shall take a bath in his own." They started down to the flat. Crop per and Barnes in the lead, Jackson bringing up the rear with the cook. Juckson was busy wrenching the bullets out of a handful of cartridges and filling their places with pulped plug tobacco. Where the edge of the flat sloped down to the Billyliung they came to a halt. The stream there was hedged off by a thick growth of wattle bushes, six feet high. Kven cattle could not penetrate It, which was a good thing for the cattle, because Just there the Itillyhiing awlrled over a b-d of quicksuud that wonld have ' bogged them in short order. Jackson placed the men ten paces 1 apart, the cook with his back to the bushes, and between Cropper and the I river. Tlii'ti he hun.led each man a rifle. "Fire at the word." he said. "And Just remember that I'll fire nt the man that fires before the word," Barnes put In, looking significantly ut the cook. 1 Mr. Johnson shut bis one eye In a long wink, and grinned ns he directed ; Barnes' attention, by the wave of the ! hand, to Cropper. "You'll see," be muttered. The new- chum's face hail grown whit His passion hud worn Itself 1 out. "Say, Cookie." he called out, "what's , the use? Can't this thing be settled some other way?"

One of our greatest euemles In growing the apple orchard Is the tree borer, und many remedies have been tried with varying success. About the most effectual remedy Is the following wash to be applied to body of trees: Teu pounds whale carbolic soap, one pound crude carbolic acid, half a gal lon coal oil, live gallons water, teu pounds slaked lime, four ounces paris green. Thoroughly mix and as used add sifted wood ashes to thicken to consistency of ordinary paint and ap ply with brush. Care should be used to make sure of covering all bark sur face near the grou.id as the borer eggs are most frequently laid there. This wash will destroy oil eggs and young borers, also wooly aphi; and should be used beginning with first year of young orchard.

Put them In the feeding places, after cut ting them in half, uud the fowls will pick them to pieces. It is well to men. tlou that if dark yolks in eggs ure de sired feed eurroU and the yolks will be colored a deep yellow. The color of the yolk does not Indicate quality, but thvre are some who prefer a dark color. Vegetables may be given to poultry, and also tubers, without un dergoing unnecessary lubor for thut purpose. Curing- a Klcklnj Hon. A horse that kicks at any lime Is a nuisance, and particularly so If It is in the habit of kicking while in the stiJile. The Illustration shows a con trivance which work well lu breaking up this bud habit. Prom the rafters of the barn hang two wires that ure thick and heuvy, and to the lower end of eueh attach a long block of wood. It need not be round, us shown lu the cut, but the corners should be smoothed down s that the horse will not be injured. Place these blocks at about the height where the hoof would strike, .Jfl 1 mm !! Ill I mm, as yoo have observed, the kick. The horse will kick the blocks, cue or both, and they will promptly fly back and kick him. After a number of kicks the animal, will obstrve that he re ceives a blow In rteurn. and which be can not understand. It will not take long for bis anger to give way to won der, his wonder to fear, and after that be will gradually stop the kicking. While the device will not work with all horses, It Is simine, harmless and Inexpensive, and works enough times to warrant any oue with a kicking horse lu giving the idea a trial. Dairy Vflsilnm. In running a separator, turn the bundle steadily, keeping uu eveii pres sure. If the milk is not skimming clear at the speed, an increase of three to five turns per minute will help mat ters.

Milk is best warmed by placing the can In warm water. As tisusl, a good many men ars asking whether they can afford to buy blgb-pnced grain to feed their cows until pasture cosies.

In summer there Is less animal bent to be produced and the food required is consequently less In summer than In winter. If all who keep fowls would consider this fact, and never overlook It, there would not only be a saving In the cost of food but the fowls would thrive better. The summer food need not be so concentrated, but should con. tain more bulk. Where birds are con fined It .-equires gocd judgment In feeding, not because enough may not b. allowed but because 0' the disposi tion to give too much. When at lib erty the flocks will Kometlme thrive better and lay more eggs If given no food at all other than hnjjjecured on the griiss pint, but inbiiuneuient the food must be provided, and It will be jwfe to use green food and lean meat, allowing little or no grain wh-n the weather Is very warm. The refuse vegetable tops, small potatoes, chopped grass or any material that will serve the purpose, muy be cooked together and thickened with ground oats, which will make a cheap and nourishing food for the fowls In summer, as they do not demand as much concentrated food during the warm season as lu winter. If It is not convenient to cook such, then chop the materials to a tint, condition and feed to the hens. Planting of Potatoes, Many who have experimented with pluntiikg potatoes claim to get the best results from shallow planting. While we are not Inclined to question such reports. It Is certain thut the deep planting and the shullow covering will give the best results. Nnturilly, under tills system of planting, the tubers may be set deeper ill light soli thun In heavy, nut this plon has been found very satisfactory. The furrow Is made of considerable depth and the tubers planted so that the first covering Is about two Inches of soil. As the plant grows the cultivation throws the soil closer to It, so that by the time the plants get a little above the surface of the soli the furrows hate been filled by cultivation. Just after the plants get through the 1 ground In good shape souie fertilizer is distributed in the furrow, and by the time the furrow is entirely closed and level with the surrounding soil, this fertilizer will begin to benefit the growing plant After the furrow is closed, rather deep cultivation Is car. ried 011 until the plant is of consider- i able size and after that all Is needed i is to keep the surface free from weeds. The plan Is at least worth experiment ing with by those who have uuvei tried It. A Scratching Sfivcl. There Is more or less being written against the seratching-shed iu connec tion with the poultry -house, and It is admitted thut when the fowls can be pnt on a free range during the summer th scrutchlug-shed is u stiperiluity. n the other bund, when the fowls must be kept iu rather close (-online- ramit during the summer the scratch- ing-shed is 11 valuable adjunct ti the poultry-house, just as it is, lu our opinion, during the winter, when the birds niust be cooped up in u close house or gi out into the snu wfr ex ercise. The bonse shown In the Illustration was built to economize space uud for keeping two breeds. Tae scratching- shed portion is partitioned off iu the middle with wire nnd boarded up from tuu bolt three feet, so thut the hen on either side can not see those on the other. During the summer the pro jecting roof, as shown, casts a deep shadow and the scrutchiiig-shed Is cool, especially us a wire-covered door iu the rear permits a current of uir. I lie yards are located nt the ends of each house, so each flock has the var iety which gn-s with the ya.'d. the house and the scratchlng-shed, enab ling them to keep reasonably cooi uud in the shade at all times. During the winter a tight door tak-s the place of the wire oue at the back of the scratchlng-shed and a heavy muslin curtain Is hung on poles to he let dowu over the front on stormy days. The scrutcblug pej.If properly arranged and used. Is too a good tuiug to abandon. Oa Iba Divide of tha Amies. Atl things come to him who rides a good mule. And, sure enough, at lust I stood on the toy of thut greatest faf uutural monument of tho West. It was a moment time I hud dreamed of; und when we dream of a moment, and the moment becomes a tangible reality, it takes time to readjust our thoughts If we ure to readjust them ut all, for there is much fiction lu the world, and partlcubiry In the world of dreams. To admit the truth, the moment was no twbut I bad pictured. There I stood, a drenched, cold, hungry Amen, can, under a cloudy sky. An done muy reason as one will, being wet Is not a romantic predicament. But, wet or dry, hungry or otherwise, 'neatb clouds or sunshine, I was, nevertheless, on the summit of the great Andean Cor dillera. I stood face to face with a great milepost of my life, 1(1,31)0 feet above the sea. Everywhere, to the right and left of me, before and behind me, wus a laudscupe of snow. And ou every side the mountains stretched to the dark horizon, so far, oh! so fat away. To the west of me little rivu lets of liquid snow forked into one another and flowed to the Pacific.

In the winter the water that Is In the road freezes, expands and loosens aud disintegrates the road material. The most Important thing lu the building of roads Is to lessen or pre vent the ravages of water, yet no feat lire of the work Is so neglected as this Many local road supervisors seem tc give no consideration to the question of drainage, and the result Is a regular mud blockage during several weeks or mouths of the year. The following are a few sl-nple rules the observance of which would go tat toward bettering the roads of thi country: First The rond should be so loentec" nnd constructed as to avoid steep grades, down which the water rushe during heavy ruins, tearing up and washing away the road material. Second The foundation of the road should be thoroughly drained by open side ditches which will carry off tb water, and where necessary tile drains should be laid lu rtie foundation Itself. Third The surface of th'-road should be hard and smooth aud have sufficient slope toward the sides to shed the sur face water. Fourth Huts nnd holes on the sur face of the finished roud should bf filled us fast as made so that no wutct can lie ou tho surface to be worked u; Into mud. These rules are simple rind easy tc follow, and uny one who gives any se Hons thought to the matter can see tht wisdom of following them.

Publla Sentiment. The Minneapolis Progress, In an edl torlul ou good roads legislation In general, s.iys that "Public sentiment has lately grown In favor of State aid and Nutlonal aid combined. State aid alono can accomplish much, iu co operation with local anthorlties; but backed by National aid, the work of road improvement is put upon the most substantial basis. National aid has been given to river aud burbot improvements, to the building o rail roads, to the erection of public build ings, and to other public works aud In. stitutions; but, the farmers, to whom good roads are a necessity for agri cultural prosperity, have bad compara tively little National aid lu the way of improvement appropriations or helpful legislation."

Chandlers Journal, bits recently presented to its renders the views of a number of Intelligent-men and women regarding the coming domestic revolu tion. They nil seem to agree In re garding such a revolution as Inevitable, aiid profess to believe that the reorgan ization of domestic life will not he a matter of choice much longer, but one f compulsion. -' -mi. A careful study of the opinions ot these students of household economy has made It possible to form the fol lowing composite pen portrait of the servant of the future: The days of domestic service, ns It Is t present understood, ore numbered (t will soon be quite Impossible In a middle-class family to secure the serv ices of any young person willing to work from curly morning until late at night. The only domestic service ob tainable will be that of a new class of servant, who will be better educated and probably far more Intelligent than the present typical uinld-of-all-work, but who will be even more Independ ent, If that Is possible. Her independ ence will, however, be founded ou hon orable self-respect nnd not on Ig Horn nee, and will therefore be more endurable. She will be fairly well trained In household duties, and will require to be left alone to perform them to the best of her ability. She will not submit for one moment to any thing upproaching to dogmatic auto cracy, and will demand the same sort of respect and tolerance that is already given cheerfully to the trained nurse. The chief difference between her and the present race of unsatisfactory do mestic servants will be that she will only work for n eertaiu number of hours a day, probably eight; she will not sleep lu the house, but when bet day's work Is done she will retire to her own home or to the drawing room, entertainment room or study of the residential club of which she is a mem. ber. For some undefined reason this pic ture is not a particularly alluring one, and the writers themselves admit that the new order of things will at first be strongly resented by housewives. And not by .housewives only will this para gon of domestic servant be looked tipan wUh cold disapproval, for every bache lor who has lived In lodgings during the days when work wus done by "merely Mary Ann" will regret the dis appearance of that Incapable but ut-Uuc-tive young person.
