One of the moBt popular spots In Central park Is Dr. Tanner's well, near the Wt t Eighty-first street en trance. A few years ago the newspa pers were full of the exploits of Dr. Tanner, who said he could do without food for 40 days. While he took no nourishment for that length of time. It was said that he allowed himself all the water he wanted and that he got It each day from the spring that comes out of a rock near Eighty-Bret street and Eighth avenue. The park authorities afterward scooped out a basin to collect the water and provid ed cups. Lots of persons who re member Dr. Tanner ascribe wonderful properties to this water, and they go there every morning to drink. New York Sun. One Regular Fixture.

Deception In Draft Horses. Draft horses are getting so high In price that lots of the big three-year- olds are finding their way to the cities as four-year-olds, after having a few of their colt teeth knocked out. I know one Instance where a horse two years and six months old Is on a city dray. Ho Is a big fellow, It Is true, but not old enough to stand tho service. Epltomlst. Mutton Ilrccri I'liy. Farmers who keep mutton breeds of sheep do not complain that sheep do not pay. It Is the farmer who makes a specialty of wool, and who sends to market sheep no larger than lambs, who doeB not find profit In sheep. Young lambs alone give good profits, and often bring more In the market than matured sheep and Its wool, but such lnmbs are of the quick-maturing and excellent mutton bleeds. Epltomlst. Intensive Live Htoi-k Farming. Writing of his observations of Japan farming. Professor King, of Wisconsin, snjB: "According to official statistics published In 190S, Japan has In lis main Islands, exclusive of Formosa and Karnfuto, a population of 4S, 542,730, and the area of lis culti vated fields Is 21,321 square miles. This Is 2277 people to the Equare mile, and besides theso there are also maintained 2,000,000 cattle and horses, nearly all of which are labor ing animals, giving a population of 142 people and seven horses and cat tle to each forty acres of cultivated field, a condition sufficiently different from our moBt fully occupied forty acre farm to make the business men among us stop and do some thlnknlg. Tho old fnrmer who permitted me to hold his plow told my Interpreter that there were twelve In his family, and that he owned and was cultivat ing fifteen mow of land, which Is two and one-half acres, and that hesldcB his team a cow and a Binall donkey he usunlly fed two pigs. This Is at the rate of 192 people, sixteen cows, sixteen donkeys and thirty-two I pigs on a forty-acre farm, and a pop ulation density of 3072 people, 250 cows, 25G donkeys, 612 swine per square mile." Number of Cons For a Silo. A question that Is quite commonly asked is: "Would it pay to build a silo for eight or ten cowb?" One man writes that ho has only twenty-three acres of land and is thinking of put ting up a Bilo for five cows. Another that he has forty acres of land, and that he must do very good farming to grow the necessary feed thereon for ten cows, besides the feed that must bo grown for the span of horses which he keeps to do the work. Ten cows Is a rather Bmall number to go to the expense of putting up a Bilo for five is even worse. It would perhaps be advisable only where the cows are extra good and very high prices are received for the product, unless the principal coarse feed is corn fodder. Then one would find It profitable to put. up a silo for this number. However, on this same amount of land It would be possible to keep many more cows with the use of the silo. Ten acres of good corn fodder will furnlBh fifteen cows the principal part of their roughage for six months, or during the heavy feed ing season,' and there would be enough left over to give them all the silage they would need during the balance of the year, which would make it possible to keep them on a very small pasture. If ten cows are carried on a forty-acre farm without a alio It Is safe to presume that fifteen can easily be carried on the same amount of land by its use. Practical Farmer, Floors of Poultry Houses. The floor of a poultry house Is a subject that Is very interesting to all poultry raisers and is also one that Is attracting more attention now than formerly, says American Poultry Ad vocator, Your variety of floor depends whol ly upon the location of your building, U. R. Fishel says: "Every house on 'Fi8helton' Is provided with pine flooring. Cement floors are a failure, while earth floors are a nuisance. Nothing can equal the pine floor cov ered with straw for the birds to work in." Mr. Flshel's Idea of poultry house floors is based entirely on the conditions surrounding his houses. He must have some other floor than an earth one, as his location Is a very damp one. E. B. Thompson, of Amenia, N. Y uses nothing but earth floors, as he Is on an upland where board or ce ment floors are unnecessary. So, therefore, one man says to use ce ment floors, another says to use boards as cement Is too cold, while still another says that neither boards nor cement are of any use, but to use nothing but earth for floors. v Personally, I have used all three and find that a cement floor, covered over with six or seven inches of fine loam, is an Ideal floor. The rats bored through the wooden floor, the water settled lu miniature lakes on the earth floor, but a cement floor Is a barrier to rats, and while It will collect moisture, yet the earth and litter offset all of Its faults. Improper floors are the causes of many diseases with fowls. In your brooder house, if It has a cement floor, be sure and have It covered with sand nnd chaff, as the bard ce ment Is very Injurious to the small chicks' bills. A clear cement or wooden floor Is a nuisance, and, of course, all practical poultrymon keep their floors covered with chaff from six to ten inches deep. The subject of proper floors Is one demanding considerable attention, it one wants his fowls to do well. So, therefore, a large amount of practi cal common sense Is whnt Is needed and If your first floor Isn't, In your mind, the proper one, chnnge and soon you will find what Is best in your locality. How to Manage tlm Horse. I see by the different methods that people use in familiarizing their horses with luterurbau cars, automo biles and other road "boogors," that many of them very much underesti mate the Intelligence of the horse, 1 saw a man about seventy years old drive Ills horse up to a telephone polo nnd jump out and get a hitch rein nnd tie his home as quick ns If he In. tended '.o licnd off a Jnck rabbit. I wondered whnt he was going to do so suddenly. Just then a car eamo by, the horse scared at it a little. Ho unhitched It and went on. That was a new way to me, but It was better than getting on the side away from the car nnd trying to hold him by the rein between you and the car. I saw a young man and his girl driving a nice rig along by the track, and as they met the car the horse shied and nearly threw the buggy over and the young man drew the whip and gnve him a cut or two with It, before the horse knew whether It wns the car hit him or the boy. Then I thonght the next one n meets the horse ought to throw him out. I was standing on the road talking to a man nearly eighty years old. He was In a two-horsa wngon with his tenm. He looked up nnd saw a car coming and said to nio: "Stand between my team and the car. You needn't take hold of them, but Just stand between them and the car." I did so, and they scarcely noticed the car. He had no doubt noticed that horses were not nearly so afraid of things that you yourself didn't seem to bo afraid Of. Horses seem often to scare and bo afraid of things to scare their drivers. Ey all means never Bcare your horse by scaring at your horse. If you havo confidence in your horse and can make him see you are not afraid of tho thing he is scar ing at, few of thein will scare. A horse is a good "bluffer." Ho will often scare at things he is not afraid of. They can tell by the tone of your voice whether you are scared or not, and If you humor their whims they will never learn. Tench them to not be afraid by not hurting them when they are, but by showing them there Is no danger. John G. Holt, In the Indiana Farmer. Form Notes. Wheat is a fine morning food. Warm it in cold weather. Boll some of the small potatoes, mash them and feed them to the hens. They make eggs fast. Eggs of uniform size will Bell more readily than those that include botb large and small ones. Never feed moldly food of any kind to a hen. That's the way a good deal of sickness comes to the poultry yard. When you are laying In your grain for winter feed, don't forget to put In a nice lot of oats. You cannot find any better feed, no matter where you are like folks, about ell want ing the highest places. They will quarrel over them sure; but put them all on a level and you will fix them all right. It is all right to fight rats and all the rest of the enemies that come to the lover of poultry, but don't forget that the greatest enemy of all, and the one that Is the hardest to lick out is neglect and carelessness. We are apt to fight that last of all, when the truth Is we ought to begin there first. From "Points For the Poultry Lover," in the Farm and Fireside. English "Coots" For America. The export of boots from Leicester to the United States is the subject ot a report by the American consul at Nottingham, who describes the de parture as "a novelty In the export trade of that district." The last shipment comprised over 1000 pairs, valued at about 500. The shipments are said to be the re sult ot the lowered duty in the United States tariff law, and the consul quotes a statement that the new trade affords "gratifying proof that there are British manufacturers who can beat, In point of style and price, the best that comes to us from across the 'herring pond.' " London Daily Mall. Hints on the Care of Fnrlh Honda. The U. S. Office of Public Roads says: "We may recognize the value of hard and durable roads In all parts of the country, but still the fact remains thnt for a long time to come the ma jority of the roads will be composed of earth. Furthermore, in about nine months out of the year the earth road, If properly care for, Is reason ably satisfactory. "For many agricultural districts It Is the only road at present avail able. Hence, these communities should set themselves seriously to work to learn the best methods of maintaining earth roads and of get ting the maximum service for them, ."Prosperity comes to the country to a great extent through the pros perity of the farmers. This fact strongly BuggestB the Importance of giving the enrth roads every possible care and attention In lis location, drainage, construction and mainte nance. "An earth road, composed of water-holding soil, should be exposed to the sun and air as freely ns pos sible, ns comparison between the shaded nnd sunny portions of such a road will easily indicate. This should be accomplished by clearing a Buflr clcnt amount of trees nnd under growth awny from the road. It must be remembered, however, that sandy and gravely roads require moisture, nnd in these cases some shade should be retained. Furthermore, trees are beneficial along river banks nnd on steep grades subject to washing. "Drainage Is one of the most Im portant points to consider In connec tion with an earth road. The ma jority of earth roads In all moun tainous nnd hlly districts have too much drainage. Occasionally a rond will be found with five ditches, three In the middle, made by the horses' hoofs and by the wheels of the ve hicles and two on the sides. All well constructed enrth roads are supposed to have no more than two ditches, one on each side of the traveled road way. "Keep the water out of the middle of the road by giving It a crown or elevation In the centre ot .714 Inches nbove the top of the Inner slopo of the ditch i'or a twenty-foot road, and where the hills are a little steep make the crown ten Inches. With a crown of about one inch to the foot from the centre to the sides tho ditches, which are often built across the road on steep grades to deflect the water, will not be needed. "Instead of carrying water across the road In open ditches, tile or con crete drains should, If possible, be provided. They should have sufficient capacity and fall to carry the maxi mum amount ot water that Is ex pected to flow through them at any one time. "Tho capacity Is increased In pro portion to the fall or grade; for In stance, twelve-Inch pipe laid on a one per cent, grade will carry 1800 gal lons per minute, while the same pipe laid on a two per cent, grade will carry 2500 gallons per minute. Fur thermore, a culvert laid flat will soon fill up, while one having a good In cline will keep ttsel' clear. "In the maintenance of an earth road avoid the mistake of changing the natural order of things. Naturally If the soil Is reversed In construct ing a road, the result will be less satisfactory than If the soil be left at trie top of the road, for soil makes a better surface to a road than clay. "If the roadbed Is largely clay to start with, It will be well to place sandy soil or clean sand on top, A covering of six to ten Inches ot sand upon clay that persists in breaking up Into deep mudholes will usually b satisfactory, and if sand enough be added this clay will cease to make mud. If the roadbed is composed ot said sand it can be improved by an application of clay. Boston Post. Modern "Roman Kond." The nearest approach we have to the Roman road to-day is the best type ot paving brick, laid on a con crete foundation with a two-inch sand cushion, and this type of road suits automobile traffic admirably, but is very hard on the feet of horses. As far as I have observed the concrete foundations, both for brick pave ments and asphalt streets, rarely crack except from faulty foundations. The contraction cracks, therefore, I believe, are due to no fault in the cement, but to the great range of temperature to which the road sur face Is subjected, and the fact that It is generally laid during the warm est season of the year, when expan sion is greatest. This view Is fur ther upheld when one considers that concrete floors and pavements laid on earth foundations inside of build ings rarely crack. Logan Waller Page, Director of the U. S. Office of Public Roads. The Whole Cheese. A Scotsman was hired by a Cheshire farmer. At breakfast one of the famous cheeses of the county was set before him.

While It would be difficult to say Just when visiting cards were first used, we are quite certain of the fact that they are not of very ancient date. Apparently they were adopted In English society before they were gen erally used on the continent. It was probably about 1700 that they came Into fashion In Great Britain, and it was as late as 1770 when they were Introduced In Paris. It appears that the first visiting cards were regular playing cards, the backs of which were used for the address. Chicago Examiner. Many Children Are Sickly.
