He states that it is his intention to get around to all the schools before his retirement from office.

We are not all lost, here at Gifford, and to prove it just visit us, each family that compose the inhabitants is a real factor that goes to make a premanent town, and some day these same people will have lived here long enough to be a member of a thriving city. Mr. Gifford has but one houpe in this already thriving place, otherwise all residences are owned by private individulas.

FOR THE CHILDREN

A Clever Performance. Would you like to do sleight of hand? Most children like to fool their friends, so you are not the exception. Here Is * good trick and easy to do: All you need are a little soft wax and a dime. ■When your audience la not looking, stick a small piece of white wax on the nail of your middle finger and you are ready to tape the music. “Ladles and gentlemen,” yon begin, “I have a sliver coin, a dime, which X will place In the palm of my hand. At the word of command from me it will vanish. You will observe me carefully and note that the coin does not go up my sleeve. I will even turn up my cuffs to convince yon." Then you close your hand in such a manner that the waxed nail touches the dime and the dime will stick to It. Next you quickly open your hand and show that the palm la quite empty. “Now I will command again, and lo, M —this yon say as you bring the coin back in the palm—“the dime has returned.” Be sure to’scrape off all the wax before you pass the coin around the audience. Gusssing My Thought. A good guessing game is called “guessing my thought.” The leader thinks of an object in view, and then each player in turn has a chance to tell what he thought the leader thought. When they have all given their guesses the first player tells his thought,” and then each in turn must, show how his thought was like it. Another way of playing the game la to glje each player a slip of paper and a pencil, telling him to write the name of some object on the slip and fold down the writing. Then put the slips into a hat and mix them, after which each player should take a slip from the hat and write the name of some object different from what he first wrote below the fold. Again the slips should be folded down and put into the hat and mixed, each player taking one slip out. He must then write a few lines of doggerel, connecting in some way the two objects named on the slip he holds, and when all are ready they ars read aloud. It will be strange indeed If this does not raise many a laugh. Friends and Foes. Said a kiss to a smile: “Why, how do you do? I’m sure I should like to live always with you.” Said the smile to the kiss, “I’m sure I shall be Delighted to have you live always with me.” So they live and they love, and neither offends. They’re always together and always are friends. t Said a frown to a word: “Now. don’t look so sour. Let’s see if we cannot be friends for an hour.” Said the word to the frown. “I’m willing to try. Although I’m afraid of the look in your eye.” In less than a minute a quarrel arose. They fought, and they parted, and now they are foes. —Youth’s Companion. . • • Something About Peafowls. India is the real home of the peafowl. There the fowls are hunted, and their .flesh Is used for food. As they live In the same region as the tiger, hunting them Is dangerous sport. The long tall of the peafowl is really not its tall, but feathers that grow out Just above It and are called tail coverts. This bird has been known for ages. It Is mentioned several times In the Bible, The ancient Romans considered the brains of the peafowl a dainty tidbit and used to kill thousands of the birds to get the brains for their emperors’ feasts. Tha Salic Law. Tbp laws of the Salic or Salian Franks, committed to writing in the fifth century, are known lu history as the Salic law. One of the provisions of this law relates to the succession to the Salic lands, which —as restricted to male heirs, the object being no doubt to secure the military service of the chief proprietors. The rule of succession to the lands was afterward extended to the French throne, this principle becoming firmly established during the fourteenth century, so that womep and girls were rigidly excluded. Riddles and Answers. Which is the most peculiar animal in the farm yard? A pig, because It is killed before it is cured. Why is an elephant very different from any other animal? Because If you cut his head off from his body you don’t take It from the trunk. Why are poor jokes like monkeys? Because they are farfetched and full of Donsense. What Is the difference between an auction and seasickness? One is a sale of effects, the other the effect of a sail. Tha Liss of a Traa. How long will a tree live? Have yon ever thought of that? An eminent French botanist said recently that, barring accidents and the ravages of Insects, a tree will live on in definitely. Gray, also eminent authority, says that a tree Is virtually immortal. It annually renews Its youth, new layers being regularly formed at Its circumference. While this new formation goes on it matters not that the old central part of the tre© decayij. Riddla and Anawar.

GOOD HORSES. Tha Preservation of Our Boat Native American Typos. By GEORGE M. ROMMEL. Pedantic persona may express some astonishment at the Idea of looking to a breed of saddle horses for carriage horses, but the records of horses with pedigrees are sufficient proof of the claim that the American saddle horse register contains some of our best carriage blood and that breeders who are using that blood Judiciously are acting wisely. There are certain lines of breeding found in the saddle horse register which can be relied upon to produce carriage horses. In Kentucky the

breeding of horses for individual excellence of conformation, quality and action is carried to a greater degree than in any other state, aui}, contrary to popular opinion, the most of the men outside of the thoroughbred establishments who make their living from horse breeding in Kentucky—in the Dine grass counties at least—are breeding not for speed, but for type. This has been going on for years, and for this reason the good, handsome horses of Kentucky have usually been appreciated, their history traced and their descendants accounted for. If the same careful attention to points of conformation and action had been shown fifty years ago by Morgan breeders in New England and had there been displayed the same enthusiasm for and loyalty to a valuable local type of horses there would now be no necessity for government aid to save the Morgan from destruction. If horsemen In the limestone sections of the corn belt had paid less atten’tion to the speed records of the stallions In their localities and more to their individuality the carriage horse work of the department of agriculture would be out of place; Specific work In horse breeding by the United States government was first made possible by the inclusion In the appropriation act for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1905, of an item of $25,000 for experiments in animal breeding and feeding in co-operation with state agricultural experiment stations. The reasons for taking up the jbreeding of carriage horses have been 'fully set forth in various publications, in articles for the press and In public addresses, but a recapitulation here may not be out of order. Briefly stated, they were: That carriage horses are. as a rule, the most valuable class on the market, that as a result of the strong demand the supply was gradually diminishing and that, notwithstanding all the Importations of the carriage type from abroad, the preferred horse was the American horse. Most important of all, however, was the feeling that steps should be taken to correct the practice of castrating valuable stallions and selling valuable mares for other lhan

breeding purposes. The department also felt that, although probably nothing could wean the American horseman from his attachment to the standard bred horse, the most useful characteristics of this horse should be preserved if it would continue to be of high value to the farmers of the ‘country. The Farmsr of tho Future. The future farmer will subirrigate his land and defy drought as well as floods. He will become a scientific forester, and every farm will produce *wood and lumber as well as wheat and apples. Women will work outdoors as heartily as men—ln fact, they will be the horticulturists and the truck gardeners. There will be closer relation between the producer and the consumer, ignoring a horde of middlemen who frequently waste more than is destroyed by Ignorant help and Inject foes combined. Under the alliance with the school tbe farm will be ▼alued not only for Its gross weight of products, but for its poems and Its education. y *'
