CCGKG THE RUNNING AWAY nABIT. A habit of running away is fatal to the usefulness of a horse. It is the fault of rainintr, for in the training escape from iontrofshould never be this permitted. Fasten The dee may be cured in way: ;wo strong rings in the top of the bridle, nc on each side; put a strong round :urd through these rings so that it can , e drawn on as the driving lines are. As non as the horse starts he is checked by nulling on the cord, which presses on the windpipe and shuts off the breathing. If ;e persists in running he will soon drop, )ut this is seldom done: some shaking of he he id and the runaway will stop. After landing a few minutes he may be pulled Ip a few times until he learns that the [river has control of him. — American 'lorsc Breeder. FOOD FOR CHICKS.

Most people consider fat a sign of health. It is not a sure one. Many of the worst cases of roup are contracted while the hens are moulting. The editor of the Maine Farmer, says, that in sixteen years’ experience of farm¬ ing he has learned that when his land is poor or in a poor condition he is depend¬ ent largely on the season for a crop; but if the laud is rich and well-handled he is reasonably sure of a crop anyhow. Those who grow lettuce thickly in beds or rows and eat it thus grown, really know little of the deliciousness of this article of food. Transplanted into rich ground, when of sufficient size, and grown into large heads, it is much better in quality, and much more oi it will be eaten. If the pigs can be pastured in th« orchard, from the time the first imperfect apples begin to drop from the trees, they will do much toward ridding you of the codling moth. If the orchard is, as it should be, in a good growth of grass and clover, the pigs will be benefited as much as the orchard. Don’t crowd your fowls in the hen houses. Give them breathing room, space to move about in, and ample roost¬ ing accommodations. Hens will not lay well if you crowd them up in close quarters. They must have air, and their bodies not come in contact by night or by day, so far as possible to jirevent. General farm products are depressed, but the best never are. There is always short supply of the best, and at a re¬ munerative prices. Take horses, cattle, sheep, butter, cheese, fruit—no one to¬ day has these of the best, who canuot find a ready market for them at large prices. The way is open for every farmer to produce them. New Mexico’s Natural Wealth. T. C. Gutierrez, of Albuquerque, Nevj Mexico, a member of the National Com¬ mission to the World's Exposition, is at present stopping in Chicago. Speaking of the resources of his Territory recently, he said: C & "We are just beginning,” he contin. ucd, “to give the world an idea of out resources. New Mexico is not a sterile waste. Its agricultural and mineral re¬ sources are immense, and only await the quickening power of capital to develop them. At Albuquerque, unquestionably the most progressive and Americanized city in the Territory, plans are now being made to construct large tanning estab- lishments. The whole Territory abounds with what expert chemists have declared to be the best tannic acid known, the canaigre. The canaigre is a bulbous plant which grows wild everywhere ia the valleys throughout the Territory. Its roots, which produce the tannic acid, grows exceedingly large and appear much like the bulbs of the sweet potato plant, It is better than hemlock or oak for tan- ning purposes. The best way to use it is in the fluid state. Hides, which, as you doubtless know already, are our chief product, can be dipped into this acid, The tanning process I cannot describe at length, but I know that it produces flex- ible, soft leather, and gives general sat- isfaction. There is a fortune in this industry to the man who knows how to conduct it. “But canaigre is not the only plant which can be made serviceable in manu- factures. Amolle is another which could be used to great remunerative advantage, It is a soap-weed, also grows wild, and is very valuable. Our coal beds—bitum- iuous and anthracite—are almost inex- haustible, and of their quality Professor Hayden, of the United States Geological Survey, says they are unrivaled. What New Mexico wants is more tools, more education, more young blood and energy. We will in time possess one of the great est States ill the Union .”—Xeto Yor Star. A Jumper’s Feats. Darby, the Irish athlete, goes through no exceptional- traitiing, unless for a special contest. He keeps himself in trim by a little boxing, careful dietarv aud keeping clear of alcohol almost to the extent of tcetotalism. He jumps in clogs tipped with steel, the most unsuitable footgear, the un¬ initiated might suppose, for the purpose. Joseph Darby is advertised as champion jumper of the world, but this scarcely conveys an idea of what he accomplishes, for most people would suppose that he did nothing beyond ordinary broad and high jumps. they would be be How mistaken may ga:hered from the following, which are but a fraction of his feats: Standing high jump, live feet six inches, with ankles tied; two standing jumps, twenty-six feet seven and a half inches; three standing jumps, forty-one feet seven inches; four standing jumps, fifty feet four inches, clearing fifteen feet tii-e inches in the last jump; six backward jumps, fifty-four feet; jumping from an ordinary brick, end up, over bedroom chair, on to an- other brick, end up, thence over bar five feet six inches; thrC3 jumpS ’ clearin 3 chair standing on table in last jump: jumpin<g from brick over two horses: clearing twenty-three feet eight inches in two jumps, jumping over chair on t< man’s face without hurting man. whe Where arc our “champions,” scramble over five feet six or eight and perhaps clear twenty or twenty-one feet! The point in the brick and tumbler jumps «that the jumper must uot upset either, and in this Darby does not fail once.— Neu>‘ York Journal. Good Water. Good water and an abundance of it is one of the prime necessities of modern civilization. It becomes more difficult to obtain, both in America and Europe, as the population each year grows denser. Hydraulic engineers are just now wrest- Jind with this problem in England. In France, Austria and Germany it is still unsolved. The medical faculty of these countries declare that the surface supplv can not longer be relied upon, for hy¬ gienic reasons. They suggest the sinking best of very deep procuring artesian wells as the method of an adequate supply of water that shall be perfectly pure. The first experiment of this sort has just been tried in England, where the new London Water Company has just completed a well eleven hundred feet deep and obtained an abundant flow ©f water, the analysis of which shows an entire absence of organic matter, or any element deleterious to health. Here in America the same comes up from nearly all our great cities. Philadelphia is se¬ riously alarmed at the condition of the Schuylkill, which has supplied the Quaker City for one hundred and fifty years. New York is complaining of the scarcity of the limpid element, and wants the lakes of the Adirondack region tapped for the benefit of the metropolis. Chicago, with Lake Michigan at her doors, should have a supply of good water, if it is to be had on the continent, but Chicago declares that her crib and grand aqueduct must be carried ten miles further out into the lake to insure a perfect aqueous supply that is unpolluted. So it goes. To the engineer who can devise some method of meeting this urgent demand there will inure great reputation and a correspond¬ ing fortune. Puree of Peas.

The first bridges were of wood, and the earliest of which we have any ac¬ count was built hi Rome 500 years U. C. The next was erected by Julius Ciesarfor the passage of his army across the Rhine. Trajan’s great bridge over the Dunube, four thousand seven hundred and seventy feet long, was made of timber, w ith stone piers. The Homans also built the first stone bridge, which crossed the Tiber. Suspension bridges arc of remote origin. A Chinese one, mentioned by Kirehen, made of chains, supporting a roadway eight hundred and thirty feet in length, was built A. D. Go, and is still to be seen. The first iron bridge was erected over the Severn in 1777. Malaria. Is your system full of malaria ? Do you feel weak and inean all over "t Have you got the ague ? Then why don’t you do something to get well, You say quinine doesn’t do you any good. Well you needn’t let that discourage you. There is one remedy, Smith's Tome tSyrup, made by Dr. John Bull, of Louisville, Ky., that Is fur ahead of quinine. It will cure chilis and fever when quinine and everything lu else fails. This remedy never has failed. some neighborhoods where chills and fever are common, it is found in every household. Why, a mun would as soon refuse his family food to eat, ns to refuse to get another bottle of Smith’s Tonic Syrup when the old bottle gave out. It is a great preventive of ugue. A single dose will sometimes keep off an attack. A lew doses will break up the fever and cure the chills. It does not leave any unpleasant does. It after effects as quinine sometimes will not harm the most delicate Invalid. Give it a trial and you will soon be well.
