From the day he is foaled, a colt should be gradually neeiistomed to obedience, peed him a lump of Hiirur that he may weleoiu.. your coining, then gently handle him, moving lnm about, and ho will soon obe,- manv commands. He must be gently mas tered from the first by a man wh is cool-healed and pleasant, never hasty, excited or angry. Train him to the halter, to carrying a strap and at leugih the harness and bridle. Hacking is one of the must diftietilt lessons. Stand behind ihe eolt and slightly to one side, m that tlm lines passing through the lug strap will draw across his quarter. While dis tinctly saying tlie word "Hack," pull the reins backward and a little to one side with a quick steady pu 1, and in stantly slacken. At lirst this will only turn him to ono side, but by stroking his head, and feeding him a morsul, he can be pulled a little to the oth.-t i do iu tho same way, and will soon respond to tho reins. N'it, by stand- j )iik directly behind him he may b trained to back, always slacking tho rein tho moment the eolt liegins to back, no that bo will learn that ho can relieve the backward pull by backing. Finally, tench him to back at tho word without the pull or with only tho slightest pressure. lo a very little at a time, beiiiLj careful never to tire tho eolt, and bo mtislied with slow pro gress.

The ureat drought has coin polled them to recognize tho worth ol this hitherto waste product ou ninny farms, and if more care were exercised in securing the corn stalks in good condition tlu v would be in nioro de- maud. Professor Henry, of tho Wisconsin F.xpiiimciit Station, recently eon ducted some experiments to test tlm prolit in cutting up dry corn stalks. Four good cows were fed for two weeks mi stalks that had been run through n cutter and then for two weeks on whole slall.s, the same amount of coi n meal and brun being ted in both cases. It w is f 1 tint 7-! I pounds of cut stalks made as much milk nnd butler as pounds of w hole slalus. This in, ant a S.i ing of thirty-six per cent by passing the fodder through tho cut ter. The w hole stalks were largely wasted, lot ihe cattle could nut i at them as readily as they ate the cut i-talks. Not only was this great saving made in Iced, but the remnants left by the cattle are far better for bed dun.'. To be at its best corn fodder should be cut into pieces less than an inch in length, crushed or shred led, and fed with some kin 1 of grain, moistened enough lo stick to the stalks, and fed at bust twice a day. For roughage the stalks can bo thrown out to be eat. n whole. Ill thii ease they call be made much more palatable by sprink ling mi r them water Mrongly impreg nated Willi salt. Cornstalks are liable to heat and mildew and should bo fed out before spring. It is always ad-vi-i.blc to use the poorest fodder dur ing the w inter, when the slock willed heartily and enjoy that which they will hardiy touch hit. r on when spring w. atln r renders tlu-ir appetites bono -w hat capricious. r win anu (i wiupn son s.

Upon Ids early treatment depends much of a horse's success after matu rity. i ll-drained lands are drier in wet spells and inoister in dry spells than any oilier lauds.

( let your compost heap-1 ready, mix a lot of leaves w ith a compost until the whole is light, but heavy enough to hold its place a minst the w ind. Trees should be mad-, to send tlieir roots deep into the soil, iu order to fortify themselves against drought. This is done by draining the soli and by plowing the orchard rather deep. Finely cut straw, wet with hot water, plenty of meal mixed with it, and allowed to sofi.-n from one feed time to another, wiil make a cheaper rat loti than if high-pr.ccd hay were fed. IJlighted leaves and branches on fruit trees should be cut otT and burned as soon as discovered, other wise t lie disease spreads from branch to branch.

HOW TO MAKK DOtdllSfTS. If the readers of the Xew York Times w ish to have a real old-fashioned Duteh dish, they can prepare one from an old recipe which ciiu be traced in a straight line to the early Dutch nt tlers. Au old New Yorker, a render of tho New York Times, has asked for a recipe for making the "olekoeks," mentioned in tho recent interview with .lire ilohiisoii. "Olekoeks" were made by tho Dutch the suiue as dough ii, .ts are made, but a raisin was in serted in tho centre of each. Here is the recipe : "rake one pint of baker's east, w ith one teaspooiiful of salt. Stir in limit enough to make still' batter. )o this about 1 irk, and put in a warm room to rise, hater take one ipuirt of milk warmed to blood hent, put in it one and a ipiarter pounds of sugar, six ounces of lard, six eeos. one nut meg, and one teie-poouful ()f siih rat us. Mix ! tie -so well together; then pour in the ' sponge of yensl and mold up with etioiigh to mak it as still' us biscuit dough, work v.' d and iMCiir. fiil not to get it too still. "Let this remain in a warm place nil night. In the morning mold out the cakes about the size of an egg, being careful not to work them more than is needful. Put in tho centre of each one or two raisins. As you mold them, I iy them ou a molding board, mid set them in a place as warm as possible, without overheating. Let them now rise again until very light, when fry in honing lani- Alter tailing tnem Irom the kettle, roll thotn in powdered sugar, and lay them out too cool. Do not pile them." That lust sentence is underlined in t!i recipes. "The ait of making doughnuts is said to have bei n learned by the New-Kng-land people from the Hollanders dur ing the stay of of the Puritans iu Hol land." Mr. .b'litisoti, us a student of nil things Ibitcli and with a critical knowledge of "olekoeks," ancient and modern, explains. These sweet nnd wholesome cakes are known by iiiauy names nowadays, and are made in I various forms. The modern Now j Yorker calls them crullers, although I tlie crullers iie ciis are not always j made according lo ihe recipe hero given. In some p its of the South I tiny are known ,e Friday cakes, a iniiii" due partly to the fact that they ; are fried iu lard, and partly to the fact that wle re so culled they aro geuer 1 ally made ou Friday.

Tho moment it ought sight of mo it began to swing the web, lirst slowly, then more rapidly, until iu a shorl time the spider had disappeared from view, although not a loot from my eyes; it was simply v b ating in ite Web, but so rapidly that my eyeseoilld not follow it.

Only u Few of The in Are Acrobatic Cu viilrymeii. The principal exercise lu which tho Cossacks excel reminded me very much of what I was familiar with (it West Point when the boys were free to In dulge their taste for gymnastics on horseback, dm cadets - at least a largo proportion of every class-are quite as clever with their horses as the averii'o Cossack. I have seen them stun on the horse's luck and gallop In Hint position, vault in mid out of the saddlo while the horse Is galloping, reach dorn und pick up objects from tho ground, leap hurdles with the horse, alighting Iroin the imitunl .lust before Ihe hurdle is lunched, ami vaultlm: Into the saddle lis ihe liorse clears the obstacle. I have also seen our West Pointers change horses while at full pallop, or one take the other behind Idin. All these exercises I have aeon ilone, not merely with the saddle but without, and not merely In tho riding Kchool but while riding out on the country roads. These are the exercises In which tlio Cossack chiefly excels, and It may tie added in parenthesis that the horse of the average Cossack resembles in many respects the degenerate beast which the government places at the disposi tion of Ihe I'nlted States Military Aca demy. The Cossack learns these tricks as a boy, wheu he Is allowed with Ids males to ride the horse bare back to water, and Incidentally Is en- j jouraged to indulge in every manner i it sport on tlie way. He Is encouraged I llso to persevere In exercises of this kind, and to be prepared to make au exhibition of himself when as a sol dier he is garrisoned In towns, whero inch exercises smack of the circus rather than of the barrack yard. The Cossack Is so often pictured In the act tf doing daring things with his liorse that it has become common to think that all Cossacks are up to this work. As a matter of fact. It Is only a small Slid select portion that keeps up these Morclses, and these are embodied In a peeial section of the regiment, desig nated "Dshigits." The Russian regu lations of war order the encouragement it these acrobatic cavalry men, particu larly when they Indulge ill any exer idses which may be turned to praeti ral account in war, as, for instance, leaping over an obstacle and firing it the same time, or compelling the horse to stop suddenly and fall lo tlie (round, so that its body may he a breastwork behind which the trooper amy shelter himself.- Harper's Muga elne.
