HrRIJMl.TOOTH HARROW.
Properly sot, this is one of the best
of implements for pulverising the
soil. To readjust the teeth uniformly,
place the harrow on blocks of tho de¬
sired height on the barn floor, then
loosen the teeth and lower them until
their points touch the barn floor, and
then fasten them securely. The higher
the harrow is raised from tho fl or,
the deeper the teeth will stir. —[Ameri¬
can Agriculturist.
STARTING A BALKY II0K8F..
Among Stic various methods for
Mnrting a balky horse one which was
recently described by a Massachusetts
man is worthy of a trial. This plan
consists in putting the rcinfc down
through tlie collar when the horse re¬
fuses to go, mid holding his head
lightly back toward his breast, The
position is so uncomfortable that after
being kept in it for a little while the
horse is glad to straighten out his neck
and move along. This method is said
to be more effective than either whip,
ping or coaxing, and it lias the merit
of being quickly and easily tried.—
[American Dairyman.
T he pulse of the horse can be , most
cn>-ily detected , upon ‘. the lower , jaw,
just . forward _ , of emved . .
toe portion, ‘
where the , artery crosses tho , cord and ,
’
bone , at the , same tune; it inav aiso , be
felt, , , and , often ... its pulsations * seen,
upon the , long , ridge above tho , eye, or
be found , . inside . ., the , elbow. In ,

two to fifty-five beats . a minute. . . , In
‘
sheep , . it . is easiest . found . , near the .. mid- .,
die of the inside of the thigh, and
should beat twenty-seven to eighty
times per minute. Although not in¬
cluded in the query, we add that the
rapidity of breathing is often as indi¬
cative of disease as the pulse, and
while the horse naturally breathes
nine to twelve times per minute, cattle
vary from eleven to fifteen times, and
faster or slower indicates nearly the
same thing as it does in the pulse*
uuless it results from over-cxcrlion.

TAMING POIT.TRY.
To old breeders Ibis item will be of
little value, but that it relates to im¬
portant work 1 think they will ngrec.
As the time it takes is the only ex¬
penditure, and but little of that is re¬
quired, you will find it pays. In feed¬
ing grain, let the chickens eat a few
kernels out of the band. If they are
wild, but o*»o or two will inako tbc
venture the first few limes, but the
others will grow bolder and soon edge
in to grab a choice morsel. Fresh
meat is 0110 of the dainties for them
and may be used to good advantage iu
forming closer acquaintance with the
flock. Be careful about strangers go¬
ing among them, and particularly
children, as nil energetic youngster
can spoil a flock of chickens iu short
order.
Let them be fed regularly, and, if
possible by the same person at all
times; handle them carefully and
enough to gain their confidence, and
you will soon find the cross sitting-
hen a thing of the past, theroby eq.
sibling you to persuade Biddy, if nec¬
essary, to chango her place of busi¬
ness for more secluded quarters with¬
out breaking a large percentage of
high-priced eggs. Then if desirous
of catching a bird you can do so with¬
out knocking half the skin off the back
of your hands and frightening the
subject into trying to get through a
one-and-one-half inch mesh netting.
But at all times be careful in hand¬
ling, for if once hurt they will look
out for you.—[American Poultry

A REMF.UY FOR HAWKS.
An Arkansas mail gives in the Poul.
try Keeper the following way to stop
the ravages of hawks. What do you
think of h? lie says:
We, in this section of tho country,
would find it almost impossible to
raise young chicks to maturity without
it. It is in use here generally, and
also in Alabama, where I formerly
resided, and 1 have never heard of its
inflicting any injury . . to , anybody , or
anything but the hawks. 1 have fed
it to the chicks and they appeared to
tlirive as well with as without it. 1
1 have eaten those same chickens and
am feeling as well today as ever. The
remedy consists in feeding small quan-
titie* of Nux Vomica (I usually give
about a quarter of a teaspoonful, in
scalded corn meal, once a day or every
alternate day, to twenty or thirty
Chicks), which can be had at a most
any drug store. The hawk that hap-
pens to cat one of those chicks will
lievei return for more, ihe philoso-
pliy of the remedy is, as I am iu-
formed, that strychnine fed to fowls
(hens only, roosters of course ii -
eluded) in moderate quantities will
not injure them, aud them alone of ad
animal kingdom. From Nux Vomica
Sti jclinine is gained, hence, of conrs.,
would not advise feeding t|, e ,in,
one day and eating the chick the nex
as in this case it may have the sat,
effect m upon tho hawk. Since hawk*
only vi*it the flocks when chick* are
*o small, ami are too young to bo
killed ami oaten, I know of no reason
why this remedy should not be univer¬
sally administered. Do you or nny of
your readers?
TRIALS OF KAItM AI*l*i,IANCF.S.
A field of investigation which
might profitably occupy considerable
attention at our experiment stations
would bo the trials of farm imple¬
ments for the purpose of estimating
the advantage and value of tho differ¬
ent kinds offered in market. It in a
well-known fact that certain imple¬
ments arc innch more heavy for the
team than others, and in consequence
thereof arc called “liorse-kilicrs.”
But there should be a more definite
understanding as to the applica¬
tion of such a term. In any given
implement, the spring-tooth barrow
or an improved pulverizer, for oxain-
plo, arc much more difficult to draw
than the old-fashioned harrow. On
the other hand tho pulverizer or
spring-tooth harrow docs its work
much belter tlmn tho old-fashioned
implement. There may not be the
same advantage in a mower or reaper
(hat draws harder than some other
mower or reaper, and in this case the

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Keep the stables clean and well
aired.
Try keeping an account with every
crop.
Don’t omit corn meal from the milk
ration.
Soil lias much to do with the flavor
of fruit.
Turn all very rich milk to butter
making.
Look on the under side of leaves
for insect eggs.
Let the boys go hunting or fishing
once in a while.
Y’ou can’t always judge tho qual¬
ity by the quantity.
Watch that failing pasture and sup¬
plement it with grain.
Drain the barn-yards. When a barn
is a lake of water it is no place for
cows or man.
The icehouse is an important factor
in dairying and it should be built be¬
fore it is time to use it.
Cheap cows are the highost-priccd
cows that are ever sold. People are
not giving away good cows.
Gentleness witli tho cows, cleanli¬
ness in the diary operations, and a
thorough familiarity with the modern
processes of dairying lead to success.
A cellar that is not dry and sweet is
no place for milk. It would be money
in the pockets of many if they would
just reniomber this well-known fact.
Sell the butter just as soon as it is
made. This is the general rule. But-
ter does not Improve by keeping and
much of it is badly injured.
Some will enter upon winter dairy,
ing for the first time this winter. Suc¬
cess will require generous feeling and
warm quarters. Take good care of
the calves, too.
The season will soon bo here when,
if the cow is compelled to stay out
doors all night, she will never give as
much milk as she Inis been giving until
she calves again,
Bran is an excellent element in the
cow’s ration. If wo have tho con¬
veniences for keeping bran in good
condition, the mills have plenty of it
to sell just at this time.
A man can not do everything equal.
!y well. Some men will never learn
to milk a cow well, and if you have
such a man, better let him sit on the
fence while you do tho milking your¬
self.
Tons of Leather Used in tho Bolts.
The largest leather bolts over made
iu New England arc those manufac-
lured for the power station of tho
West End Street Railway Company
on Albany street. Their approximate
breaking s:rain is 64,800 pounds.
Twelve of the belts are each about 150
foot long and 64 inches wide. It re-
quired WQ hides, or 79.200 pound*
of leather for their manufacture. Two
of these bolts are to be used on each
fly w hcel, giving a belt surface of 108
inches, which is supposed to be the
largest belt surface ever used on a
single fly wheel. The order also in-
dudes 24 belts 80 iuches in width, to
run the generators. These are also
made double, and of the same high
quality of stock. This will consume
.‘5 hides, or 27,000 pounds of leath-
,-r. The whole order will requite
. , Cl - 2600 hide*, or ab-m
ends of leather.-[B>,ton Tran-
ript.
Ike l's« of GI«**e*.
Those persons who find it necessary to
hold any object nearer than fourteen
inchei from their eye*, who Had that

reading, need gln-ses.
Person* under forty years of age should
not wear glasses until tire accommodating

The spectacle glasses sold bv peddlers
generally are hurtful to the eyes of those
who read much, a* the lenses arc made of
inferior sheet glass, and not systemati¬
cally tho ground. No matter how perfectly
lenses may be made, unless they are
mounted in a suitable frame and properly
placed before the eye, discomforts will
arise fr< m their prolonged use.
Persons holding objects too near the
face endanger the safety of their eyes and
incur the risk of becoming near-sighted.
The near-sighted eye is an unsound
eye, a d should be fully corrected with a
glass, notwithstanding the fact that it
may need no aid for reading, The
just proper time to begin wearing glasses is

*‘A Yard of Hoac**.’*
One of the popular paintings at the Ne*
York Academy of Design was a yard-long
panel of Roses, A crowd was always before
it. One art critic exclaimed, “Such a bit of
nature should belong to all the people, it is too
beautiful for one man to hideaway.”
The Youth's Companion, of Boston, seized
the idea, and spent twenty thousand dollars
to reproduce the painting. The result has been
a triumph of artistic delicacy and color.
The Companion makes an autumn gift of
this copy of the painting to each of its five
hundred thousand subscribers. Any others
who may subscribe now for the first time, and
request it, will receive “The Yard of Hoses,”
without extra charge while the edition lasts.
Besides the gift of this beautiful picture all
new subscribers will receive The Companion
free from the time the sub cription is received
till January First, including the Thanksgiving
and Christmas Double Numbers, and for a full
year from that date. The price of Tiie Com¬
panion is $1.75 a year.
Every family should take this brightest and
best of illustrated literary papers in addition
to its local paper.
She Wanted Time.
Little Brother—“Y'ou and sister ain’t
mad at each other, is you?”
Unsuccessful Suitor—“Oh, no, not at
all, not at all.”
“Do you stay away just because she
wouldn’t marry you?”
“Um—partly, yes. She didn’t abso¬
lutely refuse me, however.”
‘•No, I know. She she wanted time.’
“Y’es, that’s it. And I promised not
to bother her until she was ready.”
“Well, you won’t have more’n ten years
to wait.”
11 Wha— Ten years?”
“Yes. She’s twenty now, and she
said she’d marry before she was thirty
even if she had to take you.”—Street and
Smith's Good News.
The Deacon’s Argument.
Doacon Itednose—“No use talkin’.
Every year science is discoverin’ some¬
thin’ new what shows tliot (he Bible is
true. Y’ou know the Bible says there
was giants in those days.”
Doubting Ike—“Y’ep.”

tho oysters used to grow two foot long
and a foot wide. Tho shells is there yit.

Not a Local
Disease
Because Catarrh affects your head, It is not there¬
fore ft local disease. If it did not exist In your blood,
It could not manifest itself in your nose. The blood
now in your brain is before you finish reading this
article, back in your heart again and soon distributed
to your liver, stomach, kidneys, and so on. What¬
ever Impurities the blood docs not carry away, cause
what we call diseases. Therefore, when you have
Catarrh
a snuff or other inhalant can at most give only tom.
porary relief. The only way to effect a cure is to
attack the disease in the blood, by taking a constitu¬
tional remedy like Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which elimi¬
nates all impurities and thus permanently cures
Catarrh. The success of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
As a remedy for Catarrh is vouched for by many
people it has cured. N. TJ. Be sure to got Hood’s.

Here is an incident from the South
—Mississippi, written in April, visited 1890,
just after the Grippe had that
country. “Iam a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter I was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss, .where I got well
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. I consulted Dr. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get a bottle of Boschee’s German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught condition that also
very severely. My' then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottlesof German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long-, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since.”

How Ticket Sellers Make Money.
“now is it that ticket sellers on a small
salary can afford to live so well?” re¬
peated the veteran theatrical man after
n e.
“Why, my boy. it is simple enough.
Stand in the box < (lice of a large theatre
any night and you will understand it.
Y’ou see, a large part of the seats ore
sold within half an hour of each perform¬
ance. That means t he handling short of a
great deal of money in a very time.
In ihe rush a gicat many people are
bound to get excited and forget all about
bow much money they have and how much
change they should get buck, Their
cirelessness is the ticket seller's gaiu.
Not that he does anything wrong or that
ihcrc is anything approaching to chcat-
ing.
“For instance, an excited man rushes
up to the window after the curtain has
gone up, throws down a ten dollar bill
and a-ks for five seats. He should get
back two dollar•> and a half in change.
But as soon as the tickets aie handed him
he grabs them and rushes into the thea¬
ter. Another man behind him shoves
the bills to one side and demands the
best seats in tbc bouse.
“Th ; s happens once or twice in the
course of the night, and that is the rea¬
son income why ticket sellers have a much better
than mdst folks suppose.
“Ticket selling for a circus is still
more profitable. I knew a man once of
fered a large royalty for the privilege of
running the ticket wagon of a big circus.
“Of course the ticket seller only turns
over to the managers as much money as
tickets call for. The rest ho keeps,
for he has no way of knowing who it
