Weightman's fortune must be about the
same, using the wealth of his late part
ner Thomas H. Powers, as a basis of
judgment. Bothof thee men were hard
workers from the start in their respective
occupations. Anthony Drexel was on

The goose is as much a grazing animal

to grain exclusively is, more violent than
in the case of hens, which in a state of
nature , do not feed principally upon
herbs, but upon insects, seeds nd a little
of everything. Of course geeae will not
starve in winter or early spring, even if
allowed nothing but grairv but the
greediness with which they devour such
fresh food as apple parings, 'etc., shows

coarse, so that it have some lutips in it

would otherwise be. Stable ms-nme is

Don't Stint the Calves.
A . calf is worth nearlv as much as
cow.. Not that it will bring as much
mcney, but at a very small outlay it will
be brought to a cow,, and if well fed and
cared for it ; will-make a good cow. The
best of all grain foods for a calf is bran,
and although the standard feeding tables
give rye bran a higher value than wheat
bran, the latter is considerably the better
food. Wheat bran contains more thin
three per cent, of sugar and rye bran less
than one per cent. Sugar Deing wholly
digestible and easily changed into vital
neat, wheat bran is a good food for
young animals in the winter. At the
sarne price per pound as corn it is worth
twice as much, not only for its nitrogen
but lor the; phosphates it contains and
which go toj make up bone. This is the
reason of. its high value for feeding
y'ouug stock, colts and pigs as ;wells
calve3.: It is a safe food. No one ever
hurt his animals by giving them too
much bran. It has every element of hay
arid corn combined, but while it is i a
good food it should be used judiciously.
A calf six or eight months old w,ll do
'well on two pounds daily of it, which,
costing two cents, is very cheap feed
ing. The very best of hay should be re
served for the calves and with .bran it
will, cause the young things to grow
steadily all the winter. American

False Economy oi Modern Methods.

practice of good farmers to economize

it is to be . considered if in the end one
may not go too far and fare worse jjin
adopting some of the modern improve
ments. A farmer, for instance, having
one hundred acres of land only may get
hi3 crops harvested and grain inraueu
very quickly by the use or a seu-oinuer
and by a hiring a steam tnrasner. ut
he may save time and labor in a very un
profitable way by so doing. He may

. Horse Shoeing
T read a communication in your paper,
writes Professor William ItusseU tothe
New Orleans Piciyune, asking ot me by
one of your subscribers, to an.wef some
questions ion horse shoeing and why I
P.-j. : !i,MVV shoes. The answer is
,i whia- kunDOse a horse shod with
shoes weighing two pounus u auu
traveling at sfch a og as requires him
to lift hfs feet! all around in a second, or
.ixty times a Irhinute, and keep up this
speed for five hours; how much work
does he perform! that is, how much
fttiATIVE
as are used in our uncr umnalc i llew j

does he lift? lifting one foot sixty
times a minute, for four feet, 240 times;
lifting two pounds each time, in one
minute he will lift 480 pounds, which,
multipled by sixty, will make Jn one
hour 28,800 pounds, and in five hours
144,000 pound?, or seventy-two tons.
Now suppose tho horse or mule work ten
hours, the amount of weight will be
double. There is no horse or mule foot
and tendons can stand the hardship to,
any length of time. To be j overtaxed '
in the above "way he will soon diminish
in value and does not live out half of
his days of usefulness to his owner.
Common sense declares the heavier the
shoes the heavier the f ootj falls. To
lighten the shoe will have the opposite
effect. The onestion is : Would it not
be to the interest of tne owners to pay
to the . horsesboer $12 a year ; more on
each head of his stock so at the end of
the year his animals would retain their
value instead of diminishing?
I am well.
satisfied from what I have seen among
your horses' and mules' feet
that many
do not live out one-half of their days of
usetumess on account oi tne complaint
quoted, awaougu there are some excep-
" I I . .
to iron plates used under shoes: In
other cities years ago the owners of
stock that used them dispensed entirely
with their use on account of their inju
rious effects. In the first plaoi the plates
make a catch basin to hold dirt and filth
as well as to exclude the air from the '
bottom of the foot. In the second place
the plates are not stiff enough to resist
the pressure when the foot come3 in con
tact with the rough cobble-stones. V It
is more than likely to press up in the.
bottom of the foot, producing a bruised '
f i bg. and sole, which oftentimes is more
injurious than the picking up of nails.
The third question asked ' is, what
causes contraction of the feet? This is
entirely due tothe mismanagement ot the
foot in allowing the toes and heels to
grow to an abnormal height. Now comes
the value of the skillfulnessof the farrier
who has charge . of the foot. In the
first place he must know how to de
termine when the foot is paired low
enough for the reception of the shoe.
Second, he must know how to pare the
foot so as to keep the feet in a .proper
angle, giving equal bearing around the
coronary band as well as the ! "sensitive
j lamin ." and tendons. When; the above
i is done scientifically the secret of horse
' shoeing dissolved, and the owriers of ani-
mals will not be compelled to replace
their stock after one lesson of hard work,

It is a good practice to test . seeds in

age of seeds sure to grow may be known,
and planting governed accordingly.
It is a good time to look over the
catalogues of small fruits,! trees and
vegetables. Order early, and be prepared
to sow the hardy seeds and plants as
soon as the weather and soil permits.

According to Miss Eva M. A. Bew

countries has its "ventilating bees" dur

these bees are stationed at the entrance
'of the hive, and cool the interior by in
cessant fanning with their wings. They
are relieved at intervals by others, and
while on

a sort of patrol of bees.

An Artist's Predicament.
An' amusing 'misaa venture happened
in Paris recently to M. Ieu1c eim, the
well-known attbt. He had purchased
an old hemlet in a bric-a-brac shop, and
when he got home the idea occurred to
him . to 'try it on. ;It went on easily
enough, but when he wantcd.to take it
off he found it impossible to do so.
Finally he was forced to go to a neigh
boring gunsmith sto have it removed.
Bis appearance on the street wearing
this madLeval relic produced a decided
sensation in the usually placid Rue Lepic.

CUPID'S HARNESS.
..lost women, naturally Iooku forward to matrimony as their proper
ephere in life, but they should constantly bear in mind that a fair, rosy
face, bright eyes, and a healthy, wellndeveloped form, are the 4est pass
ports to a happy marriage. All those wasting disorders weaknesses, and
functional irregularities peculiar to their sex, destroy beauty and attract-;
iveness and make life miserable. An unfailing specific or these mal
adies is to be found-in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is the
only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a pitiYO guarantee -from
the manufacturers, that it "will give satisfaction in every case, or
money will be refunded. This guarantee has been1 printed on the
bottle-wrappers, and faithfully carried out for many years. $1.00 per
