CARE OF FARM WORK HORSES Animals Should Be Pampered and Fed Generously to Sustain Vigor and Good Spirits. " Horses employed for farm work should be pampered and should be fed generously so as to sustain vigor and good spirits. A team ill-fed and con sequently in poor condition and feeble wiil not accomplish much real hard work and It is a waste of time to hire aa expensive hand to drive such a team. The liarnrRs, and particularly the collar, should be accurately adjusted to the horse. If the collar is either loo tight or too loose It galls him and seriously affects his breathing. The work horses should be fed early in the morning and they should tare a liberal feeding. The comfort id rest ot the team will be vastly ffromcted if the harness is entirely re stored at noon while they ore feeding. Allow them plenty of time for a good real and partial digestion before they au-e put to work for the afternoon. It fis poor policy to put them to work light after eating a hearty meal or vpon a full stomach. It we would allow the teams more rest at noon we , would accomplish snore work than when they are only allowed time to swallow their food. At evening let them be well groomed said their legs and bellies relieved ot md and filth. The practise of many farmers of ' driving a team through cold water to wash the filth off their feet and legs Is dangerous, as It causes many dis eases that they are subject to. A warm or overheated team should ot be put in a cold, airy place, but Ural exercised and then blanketed and nut in a warm stable and after the Junkets are removed they should be wiped dry with straw or cloths. When a team has been exposed to rains they should not be left to be some dry, but should be rubbed dry, aa chilis, fevers and other ailments aften result from allowing them to dry ay the evaporation of the moisture from their bodies.

Much of Good Qualities Lost by Ex posure to Elements for period of Four Months, (By ANTON C. WAQNER.) rtnA nf nnr pvnprl mental stations has shown by careful investigation that when the stable manure is puea in nnrt lpft emnspri to the rains the Iobs from leaching of the fertile ele ments is very large. The New Jersey station flndn that manure exposed for 100 days lout over one-half of the ni trogen, one-half of the phosphoric acid, the same proportion of the potassium had been lost. More than one-half ot the constituents had been lost by an exposure of less than four months. Work from other experiment stations confirms this. a event deal of valuable manure is also lost in badly arranged stables, where there are poor faculties tor re covering the manure. The valuable liquid manure is lost by drainage. Tha beat wav to save all the fertile elements in manure Is to haul it on the fields and meadows and spread it even ly over the land. Washed into the soil it 1b preserved for the next crop. EASY WORKING GATE HANGER Discarded Wheel From Cultivator or Pulley May Be Utilized Simple of Construction. Any old pulley or cultivator wheel irmv he utilized as an easy working hanger for your farm gates, with but a few moments time to construct. fha tun olrtna nf hnnrer are cut long enough so they will allow ample space for the two ends or hanger, tne wneei and the one board of gate, as shown In illustration. Make the two ends The Gate Hanger. or spreaders the width of the pulley or wheel, and after boring holes for the bolt to hold pulley in place in the Bides of hanger nail together as illus trated. Fasten same to the gate post with two strap hinges at ends of hanger, which allow the gate to be swung to one Bide, as well as pushed back. The gate Is hung by leaving off the center board and placing it through hanger, then nailing to the cross pieces of gate. Saving the Value of Manure. Hauling manure directly to the field as soon as made and scattering it is the safest method of handling. By this method nothing is lost by fer mentation and very little by bieacn Ing. When the manure Is plowed un dor thA fermentation takes place slowly, and no nitrogen 1b lost. The carbon dioxide and acids proaucea unite with the other elements in the soil and result in more plant food be ing made available. All the organic matter is saved for humus in the soil. Making Mulch of Litter. Don't burn up any kind of coarse litter that accumulates around the feedyard, but save to mulch different plants in the garden. If some manure is mixed with the litter, so much the better. Such mulch will make melons, cucumbers and many . other plants bear more heavily and will save culti vation after they are well started. Don't depend upon the frost-bitten pasture; there is nothing in It A little neglect at this time of year may start a long winter of loss. The pinch of a frosty night will make a big hole In the pocketbook. Store the ladders under cover, but give them a good coat of paint first. A bolt through a weak tree crotch may save a split tree if applied In time. A piece ot zlno put on the live coals In the stove will clean out the stove pipe. A hard collar Is not as hard upon the shoulders of a horse as one that Is unevenly padded. An extra feed increases growth, if of a suitable kind, and makes larger animals at maturity. Banana oil, applied to any metal surface with a soft brush, is an ex cellent rust preventive. Bring the cultivator In when the first row has been cleaned out. No time like the now-time for that Fall plowing helps to destroy the grasshopper broods that otherwise would do damage another season. As soon as the late frosts have killed all the plants, take them up and burn them to destroy aa many In sects as possible. The value of any fertilizer depends upon what it Is made of. It cannot furnish food to crops unless It baa the food to furnish. Pfflofiil Odd News From Big Cities m m wL Stories of Strange Happenings in the Metropolitan Towns Mine Fraud Gang NEW YORKT Three hundred thou sand dollars of easy money pour into the offices of fraudulent mining stock brokers of New York every day, according to conservative estimates made by Post Office Inspector Warren W. Dickson, In charge of the New York division. In the last three years $100,000,000 has been filched from the pockets ot small Investors and wom en. Thirty million dollars went into the coffers of one concern alone. A hundred million went to all of them during the three years preceding the panic of 1907. The estimate is that the fraudulent operations this year will be $73,000, 000, and the figures are on the in crease. A so-called "suckers' list," bearing the names of 250,000 who have "bit" and will probably bite again, Is the most-prized asset of the big concerns that do the business. Under a work ing "understanding" they all have ac cess to the same list of victims. The magnitude of the fraudulent op erations has caused the postal au thorities to concentrate a strong force In opposition to the bogus mining con Censorship for the ST. LOUIS. Very few of the many thousands of persons who nightly attend the moving picture showB and sea the words, "Licensed by the Na tional Board of Censorship," flashed on the screen at the end of a film know what the sentence means. They have a vague Idea that the film has undergone some sort of scrutiny. They do not know whether the work nas been well or Indifferently done, except as they judge from the film that has Just been shown. The line flashed on the screen is In reailty a seal of respectability, for tho films that receive the approbation of the board are supposed to have had all objectionable features removed, If there wero any that needed removal. Twice a week, on Mondays and Fri days, the censorship committee meets to pass on tho films. Before a film Is shown printed cards are passed around Little "Cowboy" Meets Tragic Death CHICAGO. It was a game of "In dlan." In the fertile imagination of four-year-old "Captain Jack" Sex ton, the alley was peopled with hawk eyed savages and the red-skinned scouts looked down nujnaclngly from the tops of the neighboring buildings. A war bonnet' showed above an ad Joining fence, but a well aimed shot from a wooden rifle laid Its wearer lu the dust. To the little band led by "Captain Jack" the scene was not in the rear of the Sexton home at C455 Ingleside avenue, but was instead in the vogue plains of the west, where once the Apache left his bones .beside those of his pale-faced enemy. To them the fire around which they romped was a camp fire, and beyond the circle of Its light lay all the dangers of a trackless wilderness. Women Carry Dolls Instead of Dogs - .- yis I YfHAl fit. J SrlHS IN HFR( SECOND CHILD-1 HO0DMtr PARIS. The very latest is to carry a doll Instead of a dog. The fool ish craze began in Paris a month ago. The idea originated in the cracked brain of that same King of Fashion who is guilty ot originating the hobble skirt. Babies? Such things must be left at home hi charge of the nurse. These dolls that havo ended the day of the pet dog are wondrous affairs. They have a very decorative effect and are the most expensive toys that the woman of fashion has had to play with. The dolls themselves are worth only a few dollars. They have bisque features, human hair and reversible joints, and are about thirty inches high. But they are gowned complete by the niOBt celebrated modlsts in Paris. Here the cheapest sell for f 80. Gets Many Millions cerns. Inspector Dickson, formerly stationed at St. Louis, who was the flrBt man to put a check on the "green goods" game, has been placed In charge of the New York department. As a warning to the "suckers" he ha told about the "Suckers' Directory." "Down In Pine street," he says, "there Is today a well furnished office, most conservative in appearance, the 'Suckers' Directory' ot the fraud gang. The man in charge ot the office has never been suspected of his calling, and none of his associates believes that it is anything but legitimate. I am Informed that' the list of names is now nearlng the quarter million mark, and growing dally. As soon as the concern puts out more literature, they consult the directory in order to get quick returns. Whenever a new vic tim bites bis name Is added to the list. "It seems that all a person has to do is to havo a full, page in a metro politan paper advertising a bonanza, then scatter smaller advertisements through the country periodicals, usu ally reproducing the New York adver tisements, with the statement: 'Look what New York thinks of our invest ment,' for the money to begin to pour in. The 'Suckers' Directory' does the rest. There are skyscrapers in this city where bags of United States mall are carried in every day laden with checks and money orders, and not one penny of it gets outside the pockets of the promoters." Moving Pictures to the censors. On them may be reg istered either absolute approval ot disapproval, or any features that might be considered doubtful or objection able noted. If there are all approvals, the film Is, of course, passed without further ado. If there are all rejections. It is, with as little ado, thrown out. But if only certain parts come in for either absolute disapproval or doubt such portions as they object to must either bo stricken out entirely or modified according to their suggestions. In practise the manufacturers find that the best means of avoiding trou ble is to secure the Ideas of the cen sors before the film is produced. It Is possible to do this, because a scen ario is made out for each film, Just as If a drama were to, be presented at a theater. To produco these picture plays, reg ular companies of actors are formed, Just na If they were to have speaking parts in a theater. Their parts are mode out for them, and they are cached not In words, but in action, Nowv the careful manufacturer sends his scenarios to the censors for ap proval, or for modification. If consid ered necessary. Clad In a yellow "cowboy" suit with a gaudy fringe of scarlet tassels, "Cap tain Jack" crouched with ready rifle, his face flushed with enthusiasm as ha scanned the landscape for a hostlld face. But the enemy was nearer and mora subtle than even his childish imagina tion had pictured, and fanned by a, fatal gust of wind the' "camp fire'' stretched out a flaming tongue an touched tho flimsy garment of the lit' tie Indian hunter. Tfcero was a shout of warning from the other children, and a scream ol pain from "Captain Jack." As tha flames spread over him he started run. nlng for his mother, but was caught by James Bennet, who was passing the house, and who smothered the firs with his coat. But rescue came too late, though tha child was hurried to the hospital and tender bands cut the charred cowboy suit from the senseless form and dressed the seared flesh. And while his broken hearted moth' er knelt weeping at his beside "Cap tain Jack" entered thaUuncharted land more vast than all the plains beneath the sun. From there they run up to $200 each. Add the $50 duties and transportation! to New York and they will sell there1 at from $150 to $250. Their originator argues that they will give an incentive1 to women to spend more money in dress It will raise the standard of sartorial taste. As If wealthy women needed to spend any more on dress than they do today! The only drawback about the new fad Is the weight and size of the dolls. They weigh about twenty pounds and a toy Pom weighs six, but the doll keeps still and the dog doesn't Those of the 400 who lack muscle will take their dolls about in their motor cars, only carrying them when they alight for a languid shopping expedition. Those women whe set the fashions in Paris, the favorites of visiting kings and lesser potentates, first appeared at the swagger restaurants with the dolls, Immediately the "high world" had to Imitate the "halt world.!' Proprietors of New York shops returned home with the bedecked dolls and the fad is on. London has already taken un the craze.

To catch the hang ot a little yarn readers must remember that Stonehaven lies to the south of Aberdeen.

Many former coffee drinkers who have mental work to perform, ' day after day, have found a better capaci ty and greater endurance by using Postum Instead ot ordinary coffee. An IJlinols woman writes: "I had drank coffee for about twen ty years, and finally had what the doctor called 'coffee heart" I was nervous and extremely despondent; had little mental or physical strength left, had kidney trouble and constipa tion. "The first noticeable benefit derived from the change from coffee to Postum was the natural action of the kidneys and bowels. In two weeks my heart action was greatly Improved and my nerves steady. "Then I became less despondent, and the desire to be active again showed proof of renewed physical and mental strength. t "I am steadily gaining In physical strength and brain power. I formerly did mental work and had to give it up on account of coffee, but since using Postum I am doing hard mental labor with less fatigue than ever before."
