FEEDING FOR, EGGS.
Corn is a prime heatiag u,nd fatten -
keg' food, and ia told 'weather should

the erops of the fowls, but warm en-
ough to be coMfurtable, There is lit-
tle advantage in feeding frosty corn,
ft requires a good deal of extra, fowl
heel to warm it, and it can be done
more cheaply by the farmer than the
fowl.
For a morning feed for laying fowls,
a mash is an excelleut thing. A. good
oae is made of corn crushe& cobs and

being to have a change. Haus are al -

Lt costs no more to feed. a variety than
it does to keep on one thing all the

Lw o eggs a week the first egg pays her
board, and the second .one is profit;
this seems a little elastic if made to fit
eggs at twenty-five cents a dozen and
eggs at five cents, for they sometimes
bring no more than that here.

that autivity is much to be desired. Aft-

GOOSEBERRIES AND CURRANTS,

leARMING ON SHARPS.
Tenant farming is on the increase.
There are several plans. Perhaps the
Most conaraort is for the tenant to fur-
tish all stock, as well as all labor, div-
iding equally the crops. Sometimes the
landlord furnishes the horses and feed
and receives two-thirds of the crop. The
east of fertilizers, when used, is divid-
ed according to the share of crop re-
ceived. The tenant tomally bas house,
garden and firewood free, He must
deliver the landlord's share of the crop
to the nearest station.
Vartrtin,g ou shares has advantages
as well as disadvantages. The owner
of the farm gets more money out of
it than he could by farming it himself,

CAN HORSES COUNT?
Two Curious Ilorses That Seem. to Knov,
Something About Numbers.
Proofs of the, horse's power of count-
ing are curious. Dr. Tinaefieff mentions
B. peasant's horse, which, when work-
ing, invariably stoppe,c1 to rest after
the twentieth furrow. It did, not mate
tea how long the field bappened to be,
nor how tired the animal might feel, it
never stopped. until the twentieth far-
row had been raade, and so exact was
the count that the farmer coald tell
the, number of furrows by noting how
often the horse had, halted.
In another village there was a horse
which reckoned distances by posts, and
knew what hour it was by the strik-
ing of the, clock. Dr. Timofieff was
driving from one town to another, and
at the twenty-second verst, two-thirds
of a mile, one of the horses stopped
suddenly. The driver got clown from
his seat and gave the animal a measure
of oats, at the same time explaining
to the passenger that the horse was
aocustomed to being fed every twenty -
111 th verst.
This time it had made a mistake, but
it could not be blamed, as it did not
judge of the distance traversed by its
own 1 atigue or hunger, but by counting
the verst posts along the road. It had
mistaken fox some of these posts three
others which greatly resembled them,
but whieh merely served to mark the
boundary of tee state forest.
The same borse was also fed. in the

DEN TISTS AND THE KLONDIKE.
Gold Seekere Who Bove Their Teeth Attend-
ed to Before They Start.
"13o you know," said a dentist, "that
this rush to the :Klondike has made a
perceptible inorease in our incomes ?
And it's all. -very natural, too. Those
who intend to visit the newly discov-
ered. gold regions realize that the part
of their bodies most likely to be af-
fected if they manage to keep from
freezing and starvation. will be their
teeth. Consequently they tush to us
and have them thoroughly examined.
The slightest imperfeetion is attended
to. lf the teeth are decayed to such
an, extent that they cannot be filled
with gold, why, the prospective tourist
promptly has them pulled out. No ex-
pense is spared, as they are all anxious
to ha-ve their teeth in the best possible
contlition before undertaking the jour -
near, so they can withstand any kind
of climate. Now it's not hard to see

ed by this state of affairs, My ease
