Looking to the Inevitable.
Seventy-nine years old, but with no
thought of dying for years, a South
Brooklyn retired windmill dealer spent
his reecnt birthday in Cleveland, O.,
looking for a bargain in coffins. He
said he never had cared much for
show and thought he would care less
when dead, so he wanted something
that would be durable, not fancy. “The
undertakers wanted more than $100
for good coffins,” he told a friend,
“none of which looked to be worth
more than $50. For $25 I found I
could get one that looked as if it
might have cost $2.50 to make. You
don’t suppose I could get a good sec-
ond hand one anywhere, do you?” The
man did not Invest, but decided he
would wait awhile and see If the high
cost of dying might not be reduced.

her© which I consider unjust. Their
us© on large farms in Ohio would be
found profitable, I am sure.”—W. E.
O., Ohio.
“In this climate a mule stands th©
heat better, works with less feed, and
stands the treatment he Is sure to get
from the negro hands, better than a
horse. A ipule lives longer, too. I
have seen mules doing service at 25
years of age. As a farm animal he is
unexcelled in the south.”—W. H. G.,
Georgia.
“The mule has a number of Im-
portant advantages over the horse in
farm work. A good mule is a treasure
ask. I never saw a horse that would
try to avoid stepping on a hill, and
In some Instances they seem to make
a point of trampling down everything
in reach of their big feet.”—L. W. C.#
Tennessee.
“Our experience with mules leads
us to believe they are hardier than
horses; they are seldom sick, their
shoulders hardly ever become Bore and
they are more easily taught what Is
expected of them. We have never yet
known of a mule being Injured in any
respect from over-feeding. They
know when to quit eating. For steady
work and hard knocks we prefer the
mule every time. The farmers of the
west are beginning to appreciate them
at their true value, as the number of
mule teams now in use, compared to
what there was a few years ago, fully
attests.”—H. C. 8., Kansas.
“Forty years’ experience with mules
has satisfied me that they will not
compare, in u financial way, with
horses, not being adapted to saddle or
carriage, nor will they bring any in-
crease, as a horse does. Thty are mis-
chievous, breachy and will often kill
young stock if turn •? in with them on |
pasture. A farmer vi n»ou :iJr: means
should keep horses every time.”—H.
M., Illinois.
“Where farming operations are car-
ried on, on a large scale, and animals
are kept solely for farm work, and
not for alternate work and driving to
buggy, I prefer tbe mule to horses.
Mules endure a warm climate better
than horses, largely because they do
not over-feed or overexert themselves
In hot weather. No animal can take
the place of the mule In the south.
The mule is very valuable In garden
work, from his close-stepping habits,
which make It easy to work small
plants in narrow rows without dam-
age. As to feeding, while a mule will
keep at work on coarser food than a
horse, I have never found that a hand-
worked mule team would keep in fine
condition on less than a similar team
of horses. Never buy a long-legged
mule. A big, “gangling,” long-legged
mule is the meanest "critter” on earth.
Whether heavy or light, see to it that
he is compactly built.”—W. F. M.f
North Carolina.

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.
The careful mother, watching close-
ly the physical peculiarities of her
children, soon learns that health Is in
a great measure dependent upon nor-
mal. healthy, regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss of
appetite, restlessness during sleep. Ir-
ritability and a dozen and one similar
evidences of physical disorder are soon
apparent
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits, aud
eat and sleep normally.
Dr. CfildwelYa Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. 8yrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no griping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell Dr. Cald-
well’s Syrup Pepsin In 50c and $1.00
bottles. If you have never tried this
remedy, send for a sainplo to Dr. W.
B. Caldwell, 201 Washington St., Mon-
tlcello. 111. Ho will gladly send a
trial bottle without any expense to
you whatever.

lad, was requited to ball out a small
boat that had ueen leaking badly, and
was almost full of water.

“What do you mean?” Inquired the
owner of the boat.

a call on friends one evening. The
wife was talking.
“I think we shall have Marian take

been a stranger until that evening,

with water Is heated by the hot air in
the hollow tube. TMs center tube

the cover may be raised and a stick
slipped under the edge to give more

(By M. B. BERNARD.)
All the old birds, and young, too,
hould be examined frequently during
the hot months because then it is
that the lice and mites thrive.
If cut bone or chopped meat Is fed
during the summer extra precautions
must be taken to have it perfectly
fresh.
Many birds die from eating bone
and meat scraps which have been al-
lowed to lie around exposed to the
heat and the flies.
In feeding chickens, always remem-
ber that they are provided for to pro-
duce fresh eggs for. human feed and
therefore their own feed should be
Just as pure as that we eat ourselves.
The hot sun will cause young gos-
lings and ducklings as well to topple
over and die. Provide shade for them
until they are strong on their pegs.
Care of Stallions.
A stallion shut up in a dark stall
without the companionship of other
horses often becomes moody and sav-
j age. Some English stallioners ride a
| pony while leading their horses for
| : .rer-dse, and the horses become so at-
; .ached to the ponies that they become
I fretful and uneasy when they are not
| near. At night the ponies are given a
stall next to the horses. Of course,
some horses are too savage in nature
to permit their being led in company
of a pony, but if broken to this treat-
ment when young stallions can be
handled in this way.

8tudylng Needs of One Breed.
It Is poor policy for a beginner to
endeavor to keep several breeds of
poultry. The probabilities are that he
will give them all like attention and
food when they need to be treated
according to their natural dispositions
and peculiar needs.
The results are that he will favor a
certain breed because they do better
for him. when In reality the others
would have done Just as w'ell if they
had received the treatment which was
due them. Do not attempt too much,
but select a brped and then a variety
and stick to them.
Discard Mongrels.
Mongrel fowls should not be kept
for egg production because the eggs
will be uniform neither in color nor
siio. This factor of Itself is of enough
importance to Induce one to select a
pure breed, even though the mongrels
might possibly lay as well as the pure-
bred fowls, but this Is very doubtful
