A horseman suggests that during clear weather It Is well to turn the work horses out In the barn-lot at nights. Give them some hay and leave them out all night. They like to roll and after sweating and working hard all day they do not enjoy stand ing in the barn. Pig Rations. The following ration foiVpigs Is com mended to make them grow, and yet not get "potbellied," via.: Two parts of middlings, two parts oornmeal by weight mixed, according to Professor Henry. For every pound of this mix ture feed one or two pounds of skim milk. A little ollmeal may be used, If It can. be secured cheap enough, but at present prices this feeding stuff ruins too high for any considerable use. Feed the young piss t!i'-e times a day and be sure to give them a good mi on pasture where they will get exer cise and green forage as well, Is pos sible. Care for the Nest. Do yon know that you can train a ben to be a poor lay '.' Do you know that she can and will keep her eggs when ready to lay for a whole day? If this condition Is allowed to con tinue she may and probably will lay fewer and fewer eggs, finally becoming an Indifferent layer, hence the neces sity of having plenty of clean, comfort able nests. Did you ever notice how shyly the young pullet will go about looking for a secret place where she may stealthily deposit her precious eggs? How very particular she is about It: If there Is an Insufficient number of nests, or if they nre unclean, or too much exposed she is likely, after some delay, to lay the egg on the floor and among the other hens, which may lead to egi? eating. Comfort is cue cf the essentials of egg productions, and what Is more necessary than handy, clean and com fortable nests? The Care of Collies. Here are a few words on the gen eral care of a collie dog given by a writer In Recreation: In all favorable weather wash the dag once a month and In summer once each week. Feed him twice daily of cooked food. Do not keep him too fat, Good muscular condition and a smart, alert collie are not the result of loo much feed. Once a week give him a teaspoonful of powdered sulphur in a pan with some milk. It keeps his blood in fine condition. Use a medi cated animal snap when washing him. Disinfect the kennel with crude car bolic acid once a month. In fall and winter, when washing is out of the question, owing to the unfavorable weather, di'St him through all his dense coat with a tobacco dust powder. It is a fine method of keeping his skin clean and insects off after contact with other dogs. Have him clipped In summer, If convenient, and let him go on the vacation with you. He will love the water, and It will be a sin to leave him home. "Once owner of a collie, always an owner," is an old but true saying. No circumstances will prevent the keep ing of a collie after they have once won you. We know the truth of this in a dozen Instances. They are the pride of every one who possesses them, and will always be first In the heart of a strong man or woman who Is fond of the dumb but true. Birds That Eat Scale Insects. All told, 57 species of birds have been found to eat Bcale insects. It Is Interesting to note that this number comprises representaives of 12 fami lies, differing widely not only in struc ture but In habits. They were dis tributed as follows: Nine woodpeck ers, two Jays, three orioles, eight spar rows, one waxwing, six vlroes, 11 war blers, two wrens, one tree creeper, two nuthatches and eight tits of the tit house family, one kinglet and one gnatcatcher of the Old World war bler family, and the varied thrush and the bluebird. At first thought it seems strange that the large birds should take the trouble to pick up such small insects as scales. Yet the numerous representa tion, of woodpeckers on the list and the fact that the grosbeaks among the bulkier species are most conspicuous scale destroyers prove it unsafe to as sume that a direct relation exists be tween the-size of a bird and its Insect food. At the other extreme of size among scale eaters are some veritable feathered midgets, as, for example, the ruby-crowned kinglet, the black-tailed gnatcatcher, and the bush-tit, the last of which makes more than one-fifth of its food of scales. Among the majority of these birds, both great and small, there is notice able one similarity of habit. They are tree frequenters. On their arboreal ex cursions they must constantly come across scale insects, and as jthe latter are no doubt nutritious and are tooth some to the avian taste, it is only na tural that birds should feed upon them. A few species which do not often visit trees, but which are included among the birds known to eat scales, probably secure them very rarely. In diana Farmer. mtmmm Notes About Horses. If your ho:se Is out of condition, do you know why? If the feed and care are what they should be, then look at his teeth. See that the grinders come together even ly, and smooth off the sharp points. Half the pleasure of the country life lies In the ownership of a good horse. Every farmer should have a horse that the wife and daughter can ride and drive, as well as the boys. In selecting such a horse, choose one about fifteen hands and one or two Inches high, weighing about 950 to 1030 pounds. He should have a good even dispo sition, and go equally well in harness or under saddle. Of all the fools who drive horses the ones who rush a horse down hill are the worst. It weakens the tendons and nerves, jars the shoulders and springs the knees. As the cool nights come on be care ful about putting your horses In the citable when heated from work or driv ing. Give them a good rubbing all over with a towel or cloth, and put on a light woolen blanket. If the blanket becomes damp, put on a dry one for the night. It is still better to rub the horse un til he Is dry. It does not take long, and it pays, though few farmers will do It. It takes much patience to teach a horse seven or eight years old to do new kinds of work. But let patience have her perfect work; the horse is nof -bo much to blame after all. Farm Journal. Long Chicken Runs. The following from the Farm Press contains some very sound advice. I never yet saw a chicken yard too long, but I have seen a great many that were too Email. I never knew chickens to get Blck and make trouble when they had plenty of room and plenty of preen stuff. It costs soinc :hlnj to fence a long run, but It pays. A yard twenty feet wide and two hundred yards long may be plowed and cultivated with horses. If a succession of green stuff is grown, starting In the spring and reseeding at different times during the eiimmer, a yard like this will grow enough to almost feed thir ty or forty laying hens. Such things as peas and oats may be planted very early In the spring and by having runs may be closed and different grains and vegetables may be planted In season. A great deal of picking may be had from corn. They may eat off the young stalks and they may let some of them grow up, but In any case the chickens get the benefit. Rape Is an other good crop to grow. It may be planted almost any time between spring and early f:tll. Ka Unties, beets, buckwheat, In fact, almost anything that grows on the farm, will come In all right In the chicken yard. You may plant lu rows and culti vate occasionally, you may sow broad cast. You may leave the chickens in the yard or turn them out until the stuff gets fairly started, according to circumstances. It makes but little dif ference how you manage, so long as you fit enough ground and plant enough to keep the poultry busy. I prefer a poultry yard In an or chard, preferably of small fruit trees such as plums, cherries, apricots.prunes and pears. The partial Bhade from the trees Is beneficial to poultry. In this way you don't feel the expense of giv ing a whole lot of ground to a poul try yard. You can Just run wire poul try netting down the rows between the trees and partition off a yard as wide or as narrow as you want It The width makes but little difference; length Is what you want so you can get the horses in to do the work. I have seen little yards that were supposed to be dug over frequently. The digging gets done about once; no body has time after that for any such backachlng Job. The only way to have a chicken yard cultivated Is to do it by horsepower. You can't work cross ways in a narrow lot; you can't have a chicken yard very wide but you can have It th" wiiole length of the or chard and it will pay to do It. Bungalow Houses. The bungalow, the camp, or what ever one's retreat In the wilderness or by the shore is called, Is said to be Influencing architecturally the build ing of an occasional all-the-y ear-round house in suburban and near-by coun try places. One big living room run ning the length and nearly the breadth of the house, with a Bmall kitchen tucked in an out-of-the-way corner, three or four sleeping rooms overhead, and a porch suitably screened to allow outdoor sleeping quarters, make up the ideal residence.

The price of character Is pain and sacrifice. One truth Is stronger thun a thou sand ,)les. Skepticism is the ruin, not of faith merely, but of morals.' Tho fountain that :;!vc3 exit to bit ter s.it'Uiim is nut Bwest. A fair chnractei only condemns It self by self-condemnatlou. It is the rainbow and not the light ning that best proves God.

Pulpit pyrotechnics are not the only or the chief murk of religion. You will never make a fisher of men while filled with the fear of man. A liar thinks he Is walking the nar row path between a whole truth half a lie. The kingdom of God Is created of plain people who went about doing good. The mites and the Jots and the tit tles govern the destinies of the uni verse. Some people believe that putting a lie Into the collection changes It Into a truth. The folks who make the worst mis takes are those who follow the head instead of the heart.

Peculiar Sequel to an Author's Flight of Imagination. The following li.'iUnea of Imagina tion being verlilbu by tact may inter est students of sucii matters. Two years or so ago I wrote a historical romance which has recently appeared under the title of "Fulr Margaret." In that romance the name of the hero Is Peter brome. The father of this Peter Bronte is represented iu the tale as having boen killed at Uosworth Field. After the appearance of the book I lectlved a letter from Colonel Peter Lronia Giles, the Hljh Sheriff of Uucks, asking me where 1 obtained the particulars concerning the said Peter It mine. I answeied out of my own head. Indeed, I distinctly remem ber inventing the name as being one that I had never he.ud, anil the fact of ithe father's death on Bosworth Field 1 Introduced to suit th8 exigen cies of the story, in reply to my re quest for further particulars Colonel rfrume Giles kindly sent me v. letter from which, iu view of the curious In terest of the matter, I am sure he will forgive me for publis'nliij the fol lowing extracts: Your hero's father w.is the son f Sir Thomas Broine, the secretary of Henry VI. Ho was, as jr.u relate, killed ut BoBwortn, but I never heard they had property in Essex, but had In SuITjIk and Norfolk. One branch of the family tonk the bird (that is, as a coat of arms) as you describe. The father of your hero was the first Peter, aitd was born In 1437 and was 50 when killed. Since the Peter of 1437 there have al ways been Feter Bromes; my father was, I am, and so Is my boy. We as sumed Giles In 1761. To this I sent the following answer: All I can say Is that the coincidence Is extremely curious (for I knew noth ing whatsoever of all this), bo much so Indeed that, taken In conjunction with some similar instances which have occurred to me, almost do I be gin to believe in retrospective second sight. ' ' If I may Judge from my own experi ence, such coincidences (and, as any one who has read the tale in question will admit, this Is a very remarkable coincidence) are by no means uncom mon. Although the particulars are too long to set out, four times at the very least have they happened to myself in the case of my own works of im agination. I do not know if any cf your readers can suggest an explana tion. The odds against such exact similitudes seem so tremendous that I confess I am unable to do so. H. Rid er Haggard In the Spectator. Latest Fashion In Swordsand Bayonets. A new bayonet and also a new sword have been decided upon, but it is not known when they will replace the present regulation weapons. The sword is designed for thrusting and will be long, straight and narrow, af ter the pattern of the rapier. The bay onet, too, will be long and thin, so as to give Its wlleder a good reach. It was. said some time ago that the days of long range fighting had made the bayonet almost obsolete, but the Russo-Japanese war proved that hand to hand fighting has by no mean3 been relegated to the past.

McCoury has t!ie usual large crop of fine pecans on It this year. Tho crop on this tree was sold recently as it stands on the tree for $150. The purchaser expects to make that much money out of the crop as clear profit. The nuts sell at from 50 to 75 cents a pound every year. San Saba correspondence Sao Antonio Express. . A Massive Chain. From an Ironmaker's point of view the greatest achievement during the revolutionary period was the mak ing of the great West Point chain. This massive chain, which has prob ably never had an equal since the flrst hammer struck upon, the first anvil, was stretched across the Hud son river at West Point to prevent the British fleet from making a sec ond attack upon Kingston and Al bany. It was nearly a mile In length, and weighed almost 200 tons, many links being as heavy as an ordinary-sized man. To complete It In six weeks CO men hammered day and night at 17 forges, and the cost of It was placed at $100,000. Indian apolis News. Desertions from Army. Published records of desertions from the United States Army in the last year would seem to show that the cavalry arm Is responsible for most of them. The coast artillery corps and the Infantry are next In order, with the Held artillery show ing a smaller proportion. The en gineers corps reports a few Isolated cases of "French leave," and the sig nal corps Is happily almost free from the evil. Of course, the men In the two last-named branches of the service are not numerous as In the three principal arms, but propor tionally they stand as above. De sertions from the four negro regi ments are fewer than from white reg iments. Illinois an Oil State. Without the notice of any persons other than those immediately con cerned, Illinois is becoming an oil State. Prior to 1905, the --.nual pro duction of oil In Montgomery county, the only producer, was from 200 to 600 barrels. In August. 190G, the dally production exceeded 25,000 bar rels. In June, 1007, the dally pro duction averaged 112,000 barrels from 6,214 wells in Clark, Cumber land, Crawford and adjacent conn ties. The total for the year 1906 was between 4 and 6 per cent of the total for tho United States, and this from a State which two years before was not considered an oil State at all.
