Pussy is e, pretty, fat bay pony, who makes her home on Clover 1E11, and has no occupation on earth only to merry the children on her bruad back for a ride occasionally, or to help ber. master drive cattle, which she seems to understaan all about, whirling and heading them off, nipping some slow- poke in the honk, and standing perfect- ly still when left alone, until her mas- ter conies for ber again. Re does not use her very often, su the most of her time is spent eating grass. until she is really top fat for coinfort. Some- times when the children have com- pany they put the eaddle on Pussy and ride ine and down across the meadow field near the house, or me her to bring home the cows from the pasture; so, of course when she starts into Es field. wbero the COWS are, those COWS are coming home or there vill Le trou- ble. One evening the milking had Leen done and the cows turned Lack into the meadow, when some temente Lang at the house, Nellie concludeil to show them what a nese saddle pony she had. Puss, for some reason, did not fancy having the saddle strapped on, !tut after she was ready seemed all right, and Nellie told her friend to mount and take a ride up the road through the field. Pussy saw the cows and seethed to pay any attention to the jerks at the bridle to draw her back to the read, but tossed her inane and cantered off after the owns. Her eider did not know that was what she wanted, so after quite a struggle, com- pelled her to tarn and mime hack with - put them. This was too much for Puss, who began cutting all sorts of capers, finally dashing for 'lime, to the delight of the friend and the dis- gust of Nellie, who said that Pussy could and should go, straight up the road, and started in a cowboy race up the road. Puss jumping sideways, cross- ways. and every other way, until Nel- lie, having made a circuit a the field, returned to the starting point flush- ed and triumphant but not caring to ask any one to ride her again, at least in the same- fielcl with a :o One of the cows is a great favorite of Pussy's. Horses sometimes like to have their backs scratched, same as little folks, and sometimes Pussy goes to this cow, and, lying down, makes ber understand that the wishes to I e Licked; whereupon "Cherry," the cove, commences and licks her front head to heels, Pussy holding her n .ed out streight. so Cleary can reacts her neck. When one side is finished she goes to the other, and if Pussy, in her enjoy- ment, leans over too oloaely, Cherry gives ber a gentle "biff" with her head—she has no lawns—and Puss straigbtens up again. This is fun for the children who call Pussy "Cher- ry's calf," and she looks funny for a little while, too, with her glossy hair lying sleek in every direction. Pussy is a very knowing little horse. She opens the yard gate, walks in and eats all the grass she WalltS, then walks up to the gate, opens it and goes away to the stable for a while. Sometimes the eats too much, and is in pain, judging from the sighs and groom; she gives. So her master said she must not come in the yard and a rope was tied around the post and slapped over the gate. aloe watched the proceeding with great; interest and, when we went in the house, took the rope between ber teeth, lifted. it off, gave the gate a tees with her nose then walked through. the gat' siring - Mg shut after her, 'hen the rope was slipped. under a nail, and as yet he dem not know how that is fixed. _gee_ JUST A BTT OF FUN. Because a girt puts on long dresses she should not thilik it necessary to give up fun—real. rollicking fun. Of eourse, she cannot indulge in the pranks she enjoyed as a ciold. but she should never ;lass an opportunity for te good hearty laugb. Someone has said that fan is Nature's tonic. Surely everyone knows the exhilarating er- feet of a good laugh. It drives away so many little ills and dispels gloom- iness like magic. it does not pay to become too old to enjoy even the small pleasantries or life. Certainly, with the cares and worries that eeme with bedded years one cannot nor has one this time to indulge in fun with the elia,ndonment of earlier years; yet the young wotnan need net give up all Unlike her brothers she will, as a, rule, have something to do after her work is dune. The boys meet and mend a jolly hour or Levu violably in some athletics games, going to bed healthfully tired. their tninds as well iq their horlies in wit a condition that they can lode forwent" to their meet day.'s work with pleathre.

Remember that fun Is truly Nature's tonic for maw little ills of both mind and body. --- HINTS FOR YOUNG SPORTSMEN. Every toy over fifteen should be taught the use of u gun, and how to care for It Many an excident hes happened because the boy was not al- lowed to go out with some older, tare - Ail sportsman, iv's° would teachthere. oughly the proper method ut handling a gun in the field or woods, for it is the "pinked -up" knowledge that breeds the carelessuess so aeon fatal to self or companions. A. single -barreled hammer brew's - loader is lest for a beginner, and you can get one for very little money. With this you will nut necorne confused at o critival moment and iu goingthrough brush you hare but ono .trigger to eta eh whom wo wou elle you some trouble and might prove a source of danger to your companion When you; huge selected a gun that fits your shoulder and comes up naturally so tint your eye glaneing down the bar- rel catches the sight without looking for it practice with it unloaded, aim- ing quickly at small °Naas' about you until your sieht swings onto them al- most inetnwievely. Now go into the field and try ono or two shots at marks. If you flineh, load a few shells lightly with powder only, and use these until you can shoot with- out blinking. Then inerease the charges. Hunt first in the open until you ire thoroughly accustomed to handling the gun, and then you can seek the woods. Wherever yon are, always hear in mind these points: Never keep your gun melted unless in the immediate vicinity of genie. Never climb a fence under any cir- cumstances with it cocked, Always keep the muzzle pointed, to- ward the ground when hunting with companions. Never shoot until you can see dis- tinctly at what you. ars shooting. Never point te gun, loaded or unload- ed at another person. Never get into a wagon with a load- ed gun. Never drag a loaded gun by the muzzle through thick underbrush. Don't keep a gun cocked longer than is necessary when in a boat, Always draw your load lefore en- tering town, or it you. live ou s farm, Wore reaching the house. Always clean your gun thoroughly inside and out as soon as you return from a trip. Ruh the barrel with oil before starting on a wet day. Carry an oiled rag in your pocket, it you are tit the seashore. Never shoot quail on the ground. °ley all game laws to the letter. Never hunt for nearkete that is what is Mak- ing game scarce. Don't be a hog when you have companions with pea. Always keep your wits about you and do not al- low a minute's carelessness either on your part or the part of your friends while there is a. gun in the Party SOME GOOD RULES. These rules, handed down by some- body's grandmother, are good ones for our boys and girls to remember: Always look at the person to whom you. speak. When you are addressed, look streleht at the person. who speaks to you. Do not forget taus. Speak your words plainly;, do not mutter or mumble. If words are worth saying, they are worth pro- nounring distinctly and clearly. Do not say disagreeable things If you have nothing pleasant to say, keep silent. A fourth is—and oh, children, remem- ber it all your lives—think three times before you sheat once. Have you something to do that you find hard and would prefer not to do? Then listen to wise old grandmother. Do the hard things first and get it over with. If you have done wrong, go and oonfess it. If your lesson is tough, master it. If the, garden its to 1e weeded, weed it first, and play after- ward. Do first the things you don't like to do, and then, with a clear con- science, try the rest. PEARLS OF TRUTH.

PRACTICAL /ARMING. - WINTER FEEDING. Winter feeding Is now the problem, and this winter is unlike others„ as it find,s more young pigs of summer and fall breeding in the lianas of farmers than usuel, due to the cold, wet, spring, %Math calmed a shortage of the usual crop. There are many things to consider now, says a writer, esi enially with the lo,e price for hogs, and, notwith- standing the low price of corn, leh figures hut little in growing the pig. Shorts, loran, and tilluwal have so ad- vanced that it may be a question in plaees if they can be fed at a profit. For those that in the anticipation of higher prices for hogs, bred and raised a large number of summer and tall riga and have not a surplus of feed, it' would be far more emnomietil to sell: a part of them to feeders at present market priees, than to half starve them through the \sinter. and injure the next .eeesonei cro a pigs besides. Many who are in poseession of good feeding stuff in aLundante for feeding and growing pigs, either wil- lully neglect or seem to have an aver- sion to making themselves acquainted with the relative quantity and qual- ity of each required for suetaining tbs pig's grew th, or for fettening. A want of this knowledge or its appli- cation causes failure to Increa ea growth and weight, losales lemairing the health of the llama An eeperlence of many years ae toe erougntetwhee us that a mixed ration Lest suits the constitution of the erowing pig, es- pecially if it can lie fed warm in cold weather. We get many inquiries about "what ails my pigs?" like this: "I fed my pigs on corn, Int have chang- ed of late to herley and corn or rye," when changes of feed should always he made gradually. Or, "1 have been feedingmilk with little or no meal," forgetting that, however good. a feed milk is, it alone is too bulky for a sole diet, it distends the digestive or- gans and they have to get' rid of so much surplus water. If corn or bar- ley meal bas been added ta the milk, from a few ounces to a quart for the smallest pigs, up to twenty-five or thir- tn pounds to each hundrect pounds) of milk for the growing pigs of more ade winced age, the result would bave been satisfactory. Another persists in feed- ing ground oats chiefly, knowing it to be a. growing food, but forgetting that the oat hulls become a serious disturb- er to the digestive tract. And the number of feeders who say that corn LS good enough, is by fee too great, and very often all these and other er- rors ars persisted in Lor want of know- ledge that is easily obtained, and gen- erally because it is "only a hog We are feedimgl" We seer farmers mak- ing some of these errors last summer, who were living in the shadow of mills that were selling short for four dollars to five dollars per tonl Those that have eteamers or feed cookers and clover hay, by adding a bushel of blossoms and leaves, or fine cut clover to a barred of water, and steaming it before adding the grain, have a bulky ration for brood sows and growing pigs that is ranch relished and very Mangels, intatoes, beets, ruttilages, cooked or raw, make an ex- cellent change in winter and supply a place hard to fill with( grain, if in- deed it Pan be filled by it. Regularity in feeding is also very important if one reale one, two three, or four times a day let it be alt the same hour, let no Lae think that be is a good and literal feeder because he fills the trough brimful, for sooner or later he will come to the conclusion that he was merely a wasteful Rieder. No more than will be eaten should be given at a, time, and this should is a, fixed rule, nor should the feed he de- posited in one end of the trough, where the stronger will get the lion'sshare of the solids of the ration. If milk is to be given, add it just before feed- ing, so the waren food. will raise the temperature to blcod heat. Cold, icy milk is an ahominable food, because a pig or hog loves milk and, will drink it in spite of the cold, only to chill Lim to a point that stops digestion for a time. Some feeders think it an advantage to bane the feed mixed thin enou,gh so tibat. It is I oth food and drink, not thinking that the ani- mal is thereby animated to eat what it does not want or aerie in order to get what drink it wants. On he may want the food and not drink, and will fish out the solids and leave the rest to freeze anti waste, But where there are a number at the trough some are compelled to eat the slush until their bellies atiek out, so that we think they have plenty of good food. If corn on the cob is fed, the observant feeder will see by the droppings, filled with un- masticated kernels that grinding would more than pay the toll, not be- cause of bus dire -ib loss of corn, but of the return for food consumed, rn the &ammo of charcoal and a:hes, of MUM salt should never be absent. Sods dug in the fall and kept where they will not freeze, and occasionally thrown in tie pen, help to keep the in- ternal machinery in a healthy condi- tion If one thinks lie knows all about pig feeding tale winter, Ise will be as- tonished to find booty mouth he must learn next winter. But if in a void, dirty, damp led, where the air is fill- ed with carbonic gas, or where the ebilly winds freeze their hocks while they are cooking below, or if (hay nev- er see sunlight, breathe fresh air, nor have. healthy exertise, much of the feed will he wasted, no matter what it is.

To unload rapidly on the stack: Take a, long rope, three-quarters inch thick, tie the ends to the back part of the rack, just over the sides of the bed, take it over the rack to the front end of the stick, hitch the team to the rope and pull the load out of the rack. By taking the stack in short sections you can put it up ready for topping. To stack hay in the field with a "go - devil:" Take a "go -devil," that slides OIL the ground, put a horse at each end on a rope or chain, about seven feet long; make the inside checks on your lines long enough by putting very thin rope to them. Pull all you can into the stank, then take four 12x12 planks twelve feet long and place them 011 the en'l of the slack, side, by side, one end resting on the ground. Bring your load of hay, on the "go -devil," to the end or the planks; then drop.) the inside checks and let a man take each Meese and turn him around and pull out the go -devil. Now lead the horses up aside of the hay and with the hank of the go -devil, push it up onto the -stack. .By huiltiictg tae stack iu sec- tions you can rapidly put up feed in the field, and it will save many a hard days pitching of serghtun. or mil- let. Stack ean bo put up as high as the horses can pull without choking— say seven feet. Then top out trim wagen.
