" No, you ain’t quite got. the idee. You see, married men’s exempt from barrin' in the war too. Ef it turned out that the widow wuz too much fer me. and I felt like tacklin’ Spain for a change, they wouldn’t let me jine the army on account of bein’ married.” “ But you could volurrteer,” suggest- ed the clerk.

There were seven or eight men in 'tlm saloon playing dominoes, and when llri-nstonc Bill came in with fire in his eye and ordered them all up to take a drink, they crowded to the bar in a hurry. Bill had the town bulldozed, and he knew it. He was very, very bid, and had eight notches cut. in the handle of his six-shooter. “I turns this town wrong side out tit-night," he said, “and hangs it up prompt at 4 a. m. to let the paint dry. lit-fore I begins everybody liquors, and l politely? requests that every smeakin' cf-xtitv‘ of you steps to the bar and takes . a drink." A“ obeyed but one man. He was of medium size, neatly dressed. and had a cool, calm eye and a square jaw. lie remained seated by the. stove, reading a paper. Brimstone Bill struck his list up at the bar. 'I do n’t mean to exclude nobody from my invitation," he shouted. “ You drinks with me or you feeds coyotes. \Vlvich shall it be ? " The men at the bar whispered among themselves that the man was a stranger in town, and wondered where Bill would hit him. The stranger turned his Lead and looked Brimstone Bill s'raiflit in the face. llis countenance. was as unmovel as if he “'t’l'C‘ gazing at ; n xvork of art. instead of at the worst tn m in tho gn‘eh. There was a quiet, untvtriliwl. ominous gleam in his eye. " Air ve Comin', ye wolveriue ?' thundered tho 'l‘error, reaching a hand to the side of his belt. The. stranger suddenly dropped his. latu'r, rose quickly to his loot. drew something with a long, shining barrel from hi~ pocket and started for Britn- static Bill Brimstone Bill wavered for no in- stunt. and then abdicated his: pmition m terror of the gulch.

If the cow eats her ration, then lies down contentedly to chew her cud, she probably receives as much as necessary. If she remains standing, apparently waiting or calling for more food, you can somewhat in- crease the ration. All these are gene- ral rules, but they are safe ones if ap- plied with good judgment. A cow that has as much of the meal mixture as she can made good use of for the best re- sults may be given all the good, bright straw she wants, and she will not be likely to eat more of it than is good for her. Of course, a cow should have wat- cr several times a. dayâ€"and surely it would be an advantage if she could get atitany time she desires.

A mess of two-thirds boiled potatoes and one third meal and bran is recom- mended as a good food for laying hens in Practical Poultryman, which says: Owing to the immense quantity of po- tatoes raised last year anti the cheapness at which they could be bought, we thought it advisable to try the use of them as a steady diet for fowls. We have seen them advocated as a once-aâ€" week ration with good results, but didn't know what the results would be if fed daily. Some thought. it. would be a failure; we were told that there was too much starch in potatoes for a steady diet, and that the continual feeding of them would result in cholera; but de- tcrmiucd to try it. The day before they were wanted to feed, they were placed in a kettle on the stove and there allowed to cook and boil until they Were soft and mealy. In tho mornan they . were agaiu placed on the stove and heat- ed thoroughly through. They were then mashed anti enough water left in to make the mess very thin. It. was then thickened with meal and bran un- til of the right texture, making about two-thirds potatoes and one-third meal and bran. 'l‘ho fowls were, perfectly ravenous over it, and Other food would hardly be touched ifgiven all they want- ] ed ol the. potatoes. A good big feed of this in the morning sulliced for the day, but they were also given a light feed of i grain at night. The diet was kept up all winter. and now no heavier weighing lot of birds of the same breed can be found in any man's yard. w-.-___â€". .. . Comfort on the Farm. The lack of comfort in the home of a farmer is not, as a general rule. so much the result of necessity as of neg- . lect; nor is it true that man or beast :, i~ better of? without it. A. lot of chink l holes in the barn may be all right for ‘ Ventilation in summer, but they bring discomfort to the animals and cost a deal of grain when winter’s blasts are on. Discomfort is a source of weakness The word comfort means to strengthen much, to encourage, to invigorate. 'l‘hesc cer- ' tainly are great aids to better life and " furnish encouragement for succeszul l‘lI‘frt. The cow will yield more and better milk if she finds comfort in her stall and pasture. on more pounds if made Comfortable. Curried to its fullest meaning, comfort is not to be associated with efl'eminacy or the weakening of body or mind. So essential is this factor that neither man nor beast can accomplish the WhOlCQ‘IO- ta oflabor without it. Securing com- fort, then, in our homes and barnyard; does not mean extravagance or an inâ€" vestment that will not give good returns. Il'a windmill is a luxury then a pump is one also, for the water might be lifted with a rope. call the well an extravagance, for the water might be carried several miles from sotnc creek or spring. The farm- or who can afford it and does not have a comfortable home is not a first-class citizen. The steer will lay.
