Large Horses on Fsrms-As gen.
eral rule the farm horses of America are
too small for profitable work. Ii farmer
can have lively stepping team on the
road, he seems to be satisfied, not think
ing that such horses are Incompetent to
do proper work in the field. An objection
against large horses with many is, that
they consume more feed than small ones.
We have not found this to be the case al
together, having had small horses that
consumed much more than larger ones.
At any rate, if it were SO, the extra feed
used is paid for in the extra labor per-
formed, for horse of 1,400 pounds will
nee ssarily perform more work than one
of 500 pounds, and when such horse is
in the tread power of thrashing machine
the gain in weight is equal to three fourths.
The fondness of young men for trotters is
injuring the breed of farm horses, and un-
less more attention is given to raising
horses for the cart or pillow, it will soon be
rare to find any at all fitted for these pur-
poses.-HedrM and Home.

A Horrible Affair.

Yesterday al noon, Willie Blersch died
at his grandm others house near Camp
Washington He was lad seven years
old, the son of Ernest Blersch, a tanner al
the above named place. At noon on Tues
day he was sent by his mother to the tan
merry TO carry a mess age to hisfethei about
still younger brother who was sick At
the tannery he found his father had gone
away to q neighbour, and that most OF the
workmen had left, and those who had not
were leaving TO go to their dinner. Learn
ing from some of the latter where his
father had gone he started To find him.
On his way, Willie climbed the fence.
When he crossed this he was confronted
by fierce hybrid slut, half bull and half
newfoundland, with her five half.grown
pups.
The cruel bru'es seized him, threw him
to the ground, dragged him some distance,
and were sleeping their savage jaws In
in his blood while some neighbOrs, drawn
by his cries. saw the bloody spectacle but
feared tc interfere. A man at last got a
pistol and shot the grown dog, whereupon
the others fed, but were afterward
shot.
Willie was carried, horribly manged, to
his grandfathcr's house, and DR.. Richard.
son dressed his wounds. All night he
suffered and grew worse. until death
came at noon yesterday and released
him.
The savage beasts tore the entire scalp
from his head, barring it almost to the
skull In his right arm, near the shoulder,
their fierce fangs left terrible cash, large
enough to bury mans two fists in. On
his lett side they barred his ribs and tore
them asunder 80 as to expose his lungs.
The relentless brutes left not feature OF
his face untorn by their rapacious teeth.
Other wounds there were on that little
body, which alone would have been looked
upon as fearful, but which, in comparison
with those described, were nothing

"A standing antidote for poison by dew,
poison oak, ivy, etc, is TO take a handful
Of quick lime, dissolve in water, let it
stand half an hour, then paint the poisoned
parts with it. Three or four applications
of it will never fail to cure the most ag
gravated case. Poison from bees, hornets,
spider bites, etc, are instantly arrested by
the application Of equal parts Of common

Best Time to Cut Oats--Oats are
more damaged from late cutting than any
other grain. When left until ripe, the
grain shells off at the least touch, aud
much is wasted The process is repeated
at the rakIng and binding, so that il Is not
seldom that one-fifth Of the crop is left on
the field. Ii the grain is cut before ripe,
this waste is saved. The straw is much
better for feed, and will keep working
horses in as good condition as hay

"A Curious Way to Raise Cabbage
Take large head of cabbage, strip off the
outer leaf and slip off the bud found at
the root of the leaf Take this bud and
simply set il in rich dirt, like any other
plant The result will be growth of
early cabbage plants with heads larger
and soundcr than can be raised in the or
binary way. don't know whether this
plan is new TO you or not, but TO me IT
was when first saw it. This plan OF
raising cabbage is much practiced in Iowa.
Tell some of your readers to try it.--Fa-

Don't Shoot Paper Wads.-The dry
season is now fast approaching, aud with
it comes increased danger from fires both
ia town and country. One Of the most
common causes of fires in the frld, and
woods, is the reprehensive habit Of sports
men in using for waddiny paper or ether
material easily ignitei. The annual losses
from fires caused by the carelessness Of
sportsmen amounts to very large aggre-
gate. Gentlemen, buy patent wads or use
leather, and you will, in great measure,
avert the danger complained Of. The pa
pers throughout the State will do a good
service by calling attention to this matter.

charge of "mutiny the mutiny being
a strict observance of the rules OF
honor" which have ever been held
sacred by the graduating classes. Lieu
tenant Mckinney is a worthy scion OF

Fourth Cavalry, now on duty in North

Mexico, and at the expiration of his
leave of absence will report at regi-

wishes of host of friends will follow
him in the career he has chosen, and we
add the hope that he will find friends,
honor and fortune in the fascinating
pathway before him
