Astoulihoil Mules.
“I saw nn odtl sight in Lnzoine
Connty a few days ago,” sai l Eokley
B. Coxe, of Drifton. “Six mules that
had for fonr years hanlod enra in tho
lower workings of a coal nit no, -to and
from the foot of the shaft, hail to
be brought np owing to the Hood
ing of tho mine on a tconnt of- lire.
Tho males in all that time had seen
no light stronger than tho flicker of
the little Davy lamps tho miners car-
rieda Tho sun was in the Health when
they reach the surface, and the atmos
phere was as clear as drystal.
The astonished creatures closed their
eyes to shnt ont the flood of strong
light, and kept them tightly closed
while they were being driven to a past
ure lot, a mile distant, and turned
loose. There they stood trembling, as
if they worn afraid something evil were
about to befall them. Presently they
half opened their eyes and peered
nronnd in open-monthed amazement.
It was clear that they couldn’t under
stand it.
When they had become accustomed
to the sunlight, they elevated thoir
heads and slowly swept their gaze over
culm piles, sky mountains and horizon,
again r.'.td again. Toward sundown
they broke into e. chorus of joyous
brays, the like of which was never
heard from mules before.
Aftar a quarter of an hour of tltut
music, they took to kicking, jumping,’
whirling around like teetotums, and
rolling on the rod as if they hod gone
mad. For fonr days they spent thoir
time gazing at tho new sights of field
and sky, refusing food and water, not
even nibbling at the grass and not, us
much as blinking an eyo in sleep.” —

STIFFNESS IH A WORKING Ol.
Overworking and exposure to the
weather afterward will easily prodnee
rheumatism, and this will canoe stiff
ness of the limbs, with pains that
move from one limb to another. The
treatment in sach a case should be to
foment the parts with hot water, and
then apply some strong liniment, giv
ing thirty drops of tinotnre of aoonite
three times at\oy in some acceptable
drink, linseed pr oatmeal grnel, for
instanoe. The animal must rest from
work, bnt moderate exercise will be
useful. It should be kept warm and
dry.—New York World.
QCAl>tTT OF EtKMk
There it a great difference in the
original quality of eggs, and this has
much to do with their capacity for
keeping welL Generally, the beat- , „
After the fowls begin to find young
gross growing, they wilt pick at and
eat it, and of conrse consume lets
grain. In summer mnoh of the food
is grass and insects. These are not
good egg-produoing foods, and though
a largo number ol -eggs may be laid,
their quality will not be as good as'it
is early in in the season. It is not the
difference caused by deterioration on
account of weather, for an egg cooked
the same day it is laid in July is gen
erally not so good (is one that is
cooked fresh in March or April. lienee
there is good reason why eggs should
be dearer in early spring. They are
better then, and for their price fur
nish a cheaper and better food than
tho same money invested in meats.
The fact may also explain one reason
why limed eggs are so generally unsat
isfactory. They are always the cheap
and poor quality summer eggs. They
are inferior when put np, and cannot
be expected to improve by keeping
five or six months, even whenair is ex
cluded. —Boston Cultivator.
SEED WHEAT.
Heavy weight seed wheat contains a
larger quantity of more valuable food
materials for the young plant in the
form of nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash than light weight wheat of the
same variety. Experiments at the
Minnesota station by H. Snyder show
that this additional reserve food is
supplied to the yoang plants and pro
duces a more vigorous growth. The
additional fertilizer material in a
bushel of heavy weight wheat is worth
from three to five cents more per
bushel at the market prices of com
mercial fertilizers. Hellriegel in Ger
many has also proved that the heavier
the seed the more ^vigorous is the
young plant, and where there was not
nn over-abjindance of plant food in the
soil the difference in vigor of the
plants are seen even up to the time of
harvest. The Minnesota experiments
prove that the same characteristic
differences that are noted between
heavy and light weight seed wheat
are observed between healthy and vig-
orons, and poor and sickly wheat
plants, both in growth nnd yield. The
wheat plant takes np over three-
fonrths of its food from the soil be
fore beading out. Tho soil should be-
cultivated nnd managed in such a way
so as to supply the growing wheat
crop with at least throe-fourths of its
mineral foo.l, and seven-eighths of its
nitrogen compound before it blooms,
which occurs in June or early in July,
according to the latitude.—American
Agriculturist.
TRAINING A HORSE.
In training a horse for the saddle,
says tho New York World, the animal
is made obedient and gentle, and his
good qualities best developed, by na-
tienco, kindness and encouragems* ,
nnd, above all, fearlessness; punish
ment should bo resorted to only when
absolutely necessary. No punishment
should be administered to a horse in
anger.
Under harsh treatment he will first
become timid, then sullen, nnd at
length violent and unmanageable.
As one horse is apt to be governed
by the notions of another, well-trained
horses that are indifferent to sights
and sounds should be interspersed
among tho new ones nutil they are al
so accustomed to the sounds of tram-
pets, beating of drums, tinkling of
sabres, etc.
E very action of a rider should tendto
induce fall confidence that no harm is
intended and that nothing bat kind
treatment is to ba expected, ’'
The horse’s balance and his light
ness ia baud depend largely on the
proper oarriage of his head sad neck.
A yonng horse will usually try to
resist the bit, either by bending hie
nock to one side or by setting his jaw
against the b : t, or by carrying his
nose too high or too low. Bending
lessons will serve to overcome this
habit and make the horse conform to
tho movements of the reins nnd yield
easily to tho pressure of the bit.
The legitimate gaits of tho saddle-
horse are the walk, trot, cauter aud
gallop. The manoenvring trot is at
the rate of eight miles an hour. Blow
trot is at the rate of six miles an hour.
Trot ont is at the rate of eight miles an
hour. '
The canter is at the rate of eight
miles an hour, and is generally used
for individual instruction.
Manoeuvring gallop ia at the rate s>l
twelve miles an hour.
The full or extended gallop is at the
rote of sixteen miles an hour.
Tlie oh irgo is at full speed, and is
regulated by tho speed of the slower
horses.
The walk is a gait of four distinct
beats, each foot being planted in a
regular order of succession.
The trot has two distinct beats; the
horse springing diagonally from one
pair of foot to the other : between tho
steps all the feet are in the air.
SOURCE OF TH3 BUTTER FLAVOR.
The butter aroma appears in the
butter as the result of the ripening
process. Bveet-oream butter does not
have this delicate flavor, and while
there is a demand) ia ouY markets,
perhaps A growing demand, for a
sweet-cream butter, it never develop!
the delieate flavor known as the bat
ter aroma. Daring ripening certain
changes take place in the cream) some
of which we understand and othen
'which are at present beyond th<
.reach of chemical knowledge. Thi
composition of cream is essentially th<
same as that of milk except in thi
higher proportion of fit. It ia modi
np chiefly of bntter fat in the form o
globules, of casein in a partial sas
pension in the liquid, of milk sagar in
eolation, and of a small amount of al*
bnmen, probably partly in solution
and partly in the form of an extreme
ly delicate network*of fibers which we
call fibrin. Cream always contains a
large number of bacteria, yeasts and
molds, which are tho active agents in
ripening. The sources of these micro
organisms are varied. They are hot
present in the milk when secreted by
the cow, but find their way into it
in a variety of ways. Some come from
the air; some from the hairs of the
cow; some from the dnst of the barn;
some from the hinds of ths milker;
some from the milk'vessels, and others
from other tonrees of contamination.
The chances of contamination are suf
ficient to sto^Ir (ha milk with an
^■|rga^sms under
ctrcunastanotlirWfly V-J* lime the
cream has reached the crqamery it
contains a quantity of organisms
varying widely with temperature and
other conditions, and it is to these that
the subseqnent ripening is dne.
During the period of ripening, the
organisms are growing and producing
profound changea in the cream. Bac
teria are primarily destructive agents.
Daring their growth they are pulling
to pieces some of the chemical com
pounds of the oreara and reduoing
th»m to a condition of greater sim
plicity, giving rise in this way to a
great number of so-called decomposi
tion products. Chemistry has not yet
explained all of these changes. A few
of them we partially understand. We
know that some of the organisms act
upon imilk sugar, converting it
into lactic acid, with the production
of carbonic acid gas os a- by-product.
We know, also, that sometimes butyric
acid is prodnoed, and that sometimes
ferments, similar to rennet aud tryp
sin, make thoir appearance in ripen
ing cream. Alcohol is also a common
product, so mnoh so that the bntter
flavor has sometimes been attributed
to this prodnot alone.—Storrs Agri
cultural Expel iment Bulletin.
FARM AND OARDEH NOTES.
If the beis are restless give more
air and water, and sweep up the deal
ones.
Eggs stored in s damp place will
often taste musty even though the test
be clear.
A safe role with poaches is always
to set them on an elevation, the high
er the b<]tter.
Good prices and increasing demands
are reported for -high-class heavy
draught horses.
After a heg is fat enough sell him.
Stay not npon the order of his selling,
bnt sell at once.
Lameness always indicates soreness,
stiffness or weakness, and demands
immediate attention.
Unless yon are giving up breeding,
do not be tempted by a good price to
sell off the good mares.
Divide the skim milk between the
hogs and hens and notice how much
better the latter will lay.
There is no reason to fear that elec
tricity will ever be able to take the
place of good horses of any breed.
A hen will eat about a bnshel of
grain a year. At that rate she pays »
big profit on what ahe eats if she does
her best.
When the dairyman has learnedhovr
to prodnoe Jnne bntter at any time of
the year he is getting up to the art of
bntter making.
By keeping the trash in the garden
or orchard olean&d np a large number
of pests that injnre the fruits and trets
may be destroyed.
tn nearly all oosea the earlier tho
tit} is thinned the better. It is not
u good plan to allow the trees to ma-
;nre too mnch frnit.
After an orchard has eome into full
bearing one of the best plans of man
agement is to seed it down to elover
anu nse it as a hog pasture.
A good queen and two pounds of
boos pnt into a hive where the oombe
contain honey will make a strong
colony and bnild up rapidly.
Boot pruning is done by taking a
sharp spade and digging a circle
sronnd the stem of. the trees deep
enough to ont off a portion of the
roots.
If the farmer does not like poultry,
lei the wife have charge of it, and let
her have all the t -u moke out of it.
She will soon devc .^flfci.-bg'tiaess into

Lettuce, peas, spinach, radishes,
beet*, parsnips, and salsify are the
first things planted in the open ground
in the spring. Gncnmbers, beans and
the like shonld not be planted until
all danger of lata trobt is over.
Farmers who ore how using hay will
find that some will be more highly rel
ished by stock than other portions.
This difference in quality is one to the
stage of growth at whioh it was out,
and also in the manner in whioh it was
cured.
There is nothing saved by overfeed
ing—that is, keeping food where tho
animals oan always mve access to it—
as such feeding leads to indigestiou.
Have regular hours for feeding and
give etch animal all that it requires,
bnt no more than it will eat up clean.
A Kansas frnit grower says that corn
is undoubtedly by far the best crop
for an orchard that oan be grown, as
it breaks the wind, and the trees grow
np straight. Insects, as a role, will
not trouble a tree when there is plent*-
ol green fodder aud corn for them to
work ou.
The mule is a roach better animal
than ths horse for some purposes.
Tho feet of the mule do not become ns
easily injured as those of the horse,
and mules are also less liable to dis
ease, will ent a greater variety of
coarso food, and can be worked in
closer rows than horses.

Increase In Wheat Contributing Coun
tries—What Farmer* Must Do to
Meet Competition.
ILL wheat ever again be
a profitable crop for ex
port ?” a correspondent
of the New York Tri-
bnne asked a prominent official of the
Agricultural Department at Washing
ton. The latter answered:
“In the first place, wheat is now sad
for many years to come will be a crop
which invites competition from conn-
tries in whioh farming is poor and land
or labor abundantly cheap. It is es
sentially a crop of cheap lands or in
ferior tillage, or both. In India, in
Egypt and some other countries the la
bor is cheap; in Australasia, and here
tofore ih onr own Northwestern terri
tory, while the labor is high, the lands
are cheap and the farmer, moreover,
ruthlessly robs the soil. Now in South
America we find cheap wheat lands,
an^d, compared with our own, cheap la
bor. 80 in Sonthern Russia,’where
there are comparatively cheap lands
and positively cheap labor.
“In * recent statement of the world's
wheat supply issued by the Depsrt-
lucnt of Agr ianlture mp found a dozen
countries contributing whose existence
is probably ignored by the majority of
American wheat raisers, and of whom
little is known even to American com
mercial men. Among them* we may
mention especially the Cancasns, Ru
mania, Bulgaria, to say nothing of
European Turkey, Turkey in Asia, Ser-
via, Persia, Poland, Oratia and Sla
vonia, and in Africa, Egypt, Tunis and
Algeria. In the aggregate the coun
tries mentioned have contributed a
yearly average of over 200,000,00J
bushels to the wheat crops of the last
three years. The aggregate popula
tion of the first throe countries uamed
is in all about 12,000,000, and of this
a large number are not users of wheat
flour, using for their own wants ryo.
Hence the average home consumption
per capita is not mote than two-thirds
as much as ours, and yet these three
countries produced wheat in the years
given as follows: In 1891, 160,575,00}
bushels; in 1802, 171,950,000 bushels,
nnd in 1893, 116,529,000 bushels an
average of 159,688,000 bushels, with
probably a home consumption barely
' exceeding 49,000,009 bushels. A few
years ago the products of those coun
tries, or at least their exportable sur
plus, was too insignificant for record.
“The London Miller states that tho
total figures for Russia show the ship
ments from that country for January,
1894, to be 810,000 quarters, compared
with 210,950 quarters in January, 1893,
and 575,950 quarters in Jannry, 1891.
In 1892 they were prohibited.
“Another factor, aud one that
promises to count more than all the
rest in the next decade, is to be fonud
in the rapid increase in tho wheat
crops of the Argentine Republic, an
increase which promises to bo phe
nomenal. According to the paper al
ready quoted, shipmonts from Argen
tina to tho United Kingdom were, for
the six weeks ending February 10tb,
over 280,000 quarters, or at tho rato
of 2,444,000 quarters (over 19,000,000
bushels) per annum; but, adds the
paper quoted: ‘March and April ship
ments will show a material increase.'
The director of the Department of
Agriculture of Argentina, recently in
this country, assured me that within
ten years that country would export
more wheat than is now exported by
the United States. Moreover, Chile,
Australasia and the great Northwest
territory of British North America
seem likely ere long to show their
ability to supply any deficiencies
which may occur iu the other countries
named.
“According to the Department au
thorities the wheat supply of the
world for the three years 1891, 1892
and. 1893 was respite. '■*, in round
numbers, 2,360,000,000, 2,'303,000,000
aud 2,360,000,000 bushels, au ample
supply for the world’s demand, with a
very considerable surplus in 1892, to
sav nothing of the alleged underesti
mates of the Department in the years
1891 and 1892. It is true that without
a marked increase in the supply there
has been a steady diminution in price,
bnt that is readily accounted for by
the large available increase from conn-
tries not formerly contributing in any
marked degree, bnt which, by tho de
velopment in means of transportation,
os in the case of the Cancosus, or
owing to changes in their political
status, os in Bulgaria, and from other
causes, have now permanently joined
the ranks of exporting countries, and
are able to sell at low prices.
“The situation in this country can
only be met by a general reduction in
acreage and a considerable increase in
yield per acre. Onr farmers must
learn to attain the yield whioh prevails
in the more civilized countries of
Enrcpe, instead of lagging among the
more backward. Onr pitiful thirteen
bushels to the acre must be increased
to eighteen or twenty, and our wheat
acreage reduced from 36,000,099 or
87,000,000 seres to 20,000,000. At
eighteen bushels to the sere, an aver
age more than equalled by France and
greatly exceeded by Great Britain aud
Belgium, the farmers on the cheap
lands of the Northwest can make a
small profit with wheat at fifty or sixty
centsabnshel, where a yield of thirleon
bushels means au actual loss. In this
reduction in wheat acreage, tho older
States, notably Ohio aud Indiana,
which together raised nearly 75,0 )0,-
000 bushels last year, must take the
lead, their opportunities for diversifi
cation being greater than those avail
able to the farmers of Minnesota and
the Dakotna aud the other newer
States. ”

Don’t Blame the Cook
If a baking powder is not uniform in strength,
so that the same quantity will always do the same
work, no one can know how to use it, and uni
formly good, light food cannot be produced with it.
All baking powders except Royal, because
improperly compounded :.nd made from inferior
materials, lose their strength quickly when the can
is opened for use. At subsequent bakings there
will be noticed a falling off in strength. The food
is heavy, and the flour, eggs and butter wasted.
It is always the case that the consumer suffers
in pocket, if not in health, by accepting any sub
stitute for the Royal Baking Powder. The Royal
is the embodiment of all the excellence that it is
possible to attain in an absolutely pure powder.
It is always strictly reliable. It is not only more
economical because of its greater strength, but
will retain its full leavening power, which no
other powder will, until
wholesome^ food. -
