The Slating Mate.
Joblots attended a concert one even
ing, and not having been educated to
the subtleties of classic music, It soon
became evident to his friend that he
avas slightly bored.
Joblots almost groaned when the vio
lin soloist appeared and quietly ad
justed n queer looking bit of metal to
the bridge of his Instrument. But
when tho soft, almost human tones of
the violin began to float through the
hall, Joblots manifested considerable
Interest and pleasure. At the conclu
sion of the selection Joblots, for tho
tlrst time that evening, applauded vo
ciferously, and turning to his friend
suid:
“Say Bob what was that thing he
put on his Addle to make It sound
that way?”
"That” replied Bob, ‘was a mute.”
"A mute,” repeated Joblots. “Well,
that’s the first mute X ever heard that
1 liked.”—Colorado Springs Gazette.

Training the Saddle Hon A
in teaching colts the walk-trot-caii
ter, it Is necessary that they have some
good thoroughbred blood ciose up, and
if they have good action they inay
make admirable saddle hotses, but if
they are low-headed and natural-gait
ed trotters it will be difficult td teach
them the saddle-horse gaits. First,
they should be properly shod, say with
eighteen ounce shoos forward and ten
ounce behind, providing they have
good action, but if they have poor ac
tion, ndd two ounce to each front shoe
at the heel and make the shoe with a
roll toe A good way would be to let
the colts wear these shoes a few days
before beginning to teach them.
AX’e want them thorough lit the AVhllr
first, then perfect theii’ tfdt by tiding
them at a brisk jog well tdken in band
and let the canter be taught last. Give
them several daily lessons iii the bit
ting harness before mounting them,
and these lessons in the bitting should
be continued daily until they are thor
oughly mouthed and mannered. It
should be remembered also that these
bitting lessons are very hard work,
and the head should be but a little
higher than the natural pose in the
first lesson. The first lessons should
be correspondingly short, rUlnliig the
head a little higliet and the cbiri a little
msire in each day. The first lesson
should not exceed thirty minutes, and
they can be safely increased in length
of time up to two hours.
The canter is taught by urging the
colt out of the trot into the gallop,
and gradually taking him in hand un
til he lias the canter proper. You must
be on good terms with the colt you are
teaching, and the first thing of all Is
Ic tench him that j’ott nre his friend,
and lot j-our rule be not, td overwork
iiiiti in Ills lessons, and hd ATiii ient’ii
to love It. I>o not fool away any time
on n horse that is poorly bred or a
laggard, for you will sooner or later
give him up in disgust.—Dr. .1. 0.

Selecting Seed Corrii
The corn crop is the most iiiipdrtant
one grown on the farm. Alueh depends
upon the seed used. I select my seed
in the fall. I go into the field after
the corn is hard and before there is a
hard frost and select the best ears
that are well filled. Take off the husks,
except enough to tie the ears togeth
er, and hang two ears together on a
wire in a dry place. When the corn
is thoroughly dried 1 put it in a rooiti
where there are no mice or rats and
rick It the same as cord wood, then no
amount of freezing will hurt it. I al
ways smoke the corn just before plant
ing, using corncobs, fine chips or old
leather, and sometimes put a little pine
tar on the fire. This is to prevent
squirrels nnd mice from digging the
seed up after it is planted.
Always shell off the tips and butts
and uso the rest of the ear; this is tb
make the gernels of uniform size. I
never plant more corn than I have help
to attend to nnd do it right—say forty
acres to each team. I never plow In
the fail except sod ground. Plnnt be
tween May 10 and 22 as shallow as
possible and see that all seed is cov
ered. AVlien the season is dry I plant
deeper. I seed rather heavily, planting
three or four kernels in a hill. I al
ways test the seed before planting.—

Clipping Clover Fields,
A writer in Ohio Farmer advocates
the clipping of clover the first year nf*
ter the wheat is off, and even twice
if necessary to prevent it from blos
soming, as that weakens the next
year’s growth. This year he clipped
on August 1 and clipped again in Sep
tember. He has (lone so for several
years until year before Inst, and he
said he would never omit It again.
The hay last year where it was not
clipped was very dirty, full of stub
ble and trash, while where too large a
growth was made before winter, it
lodged and smothered out the crop,
lie cuts high, removing the swath
board, and likes to cut just after a
rain, leaving all the growth on tho
ground as mulch, which protects the
roots in winter and keeps the ground
more moist in summer. It might bo
pastured off and get some growth for
cattle or sheep, but they will not feed
on the ranker growing places, and
feed the other too closely, thus making
them liable to be winter killed. 110
does not think this pays, and would
prefer to grow' green crops to help out
the pasturage than to use the newly
seeded fields. He wants to leave
clover about six inches high when
winter comes.
Portable Racks.
For cattle, a good rack may be inn da
with common rough boards and a few
pieces of scantling. Make them four
or live feet wide, ton or twelve feet
long, aud two feet deep; have four by
four Inch scantling In the corners, nn<l
nlso In the center of the ends, running
up twelve or fifteen inches nbove the
top of the rack; to the latter nail in a
center partition lengthwise; thus you
have a double rack where cattle will
eat contentedly.
Do not have the end boards or pieces
of scanning reach down as low as tho
side hoards and then by rounding up
the ends of the side boards, after tho
manner of sled runners, the racks may
be easily drawn from one place to an
other.

Ealiforola’s Turf Qarden.
it is not known generally that Cali
fornia owes to the into Collis P. Hunt
ington the establishment bn the Pacifld
Slope of a State turf garden. Mr.
Huntington always was interested in
the promotion of agriculture, and for
many years was a friend and patron
of James Bradford Olcott, of Con
necticut. Mr. Olcott is endowed with
a strain of quaint originality, and Mr.
Huntington liked men of Ideas. Mr.
Olcott made up his mind many years
ago that what this country needed
most was the clothing of its hillsides
and meadows with the ancient graz
ing grasses of older countries. Ho

collect the finest specimens bf sod that
the world could show, nnd these are
maintained iii ri “grass garden” under
the Supervision of the Connecticut
Agricultural Experiment Station on
Mr. Oleott’s homestead In South
Manchester, Conn.
Mr. Olcott desired to start a State
turf garden in California, principally
for the reason that better turf is bad
ly needed in that State, and also that
Ills experiments might not be Interfer
ed with by the long New England
winters. He appealed to Air. Huut
ingtoii and his request was not in
vain. Mr, Huiitingtbti put at Sir. 01 j

Mar. 12,1897.
“ Dear Mrs. Pinkiiam : I have been sick for a long time. I was taken
sick with flooding. All my trouble seemed to be in the womb. I ache all the
time at the lower part of* the womb. The doctor says the womb is covered
with ulcers. I suffer with a pain on the loft side of my back over the kidney.
lam fifty years old and passing through the change of life. Pleaso advise mo
what to do to get relief. Would like to hear from you as soon as possible. —•

“ I have been taking your remedies, and think they havo helped me a great*
deal. I had been in bed for ten weeks when I began taking your Vegetable
Compound* but after using it for a short time I was able to be up around t£#
house. The aching in the lower part of womb has left me. The mpst that
troubles me now is the flowing. That is not so bad, but still there is a littltr
every day. lam not discouraged yet, and shall continue with your meditfipap,'
for 1 believe it will cure me.”— Mbs. Charlotte Johnson, Monclova, Ohio.
April 1&, 19Q0.
** I send you this letter to publish for the benefit of others. I was sick 109
about nine years so that I could not do rav work. For three months I could
not sit up long enough to have my bed made. I had five different doctors, and
nil said tnerc was no help for me. My trouble was change of life. I suffered
with ulceration of the womb, pain in sides, kidney and stomach trouble, back*
ache, headache, and dizziness. lam well and strong, and feel like anew
persdn. My recovery is a perfect surprise to everybody that knew me. 1 own
all to Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. I would not do without
your medicine for anything. There is no need of women suffering so much if
they would take your remedies, for they are a sure cure.”— Mrs. Charlottb
Johnson, Monclova, Ohio.
When one stops to think about the good Mrs. Johnson derived from Mrs.
Pinkham’s advice and medicine, it seems almost beyond belief ; yet it is all
true as stated in her three letters published above at her own request.
Asa matter of positive fact Mrs. Pinkham has on file thousands of
letters from women who have been safely carried through that danger period
“Change of Life.” Mrs. Johnson’s cure is not an unusual ono for Mrs. rink*
ham’s medicine to accomplish.
