the exclamation which came from the wagons
gave him a cue 20 the joke. The laughter was

Tinkler's house to the supposed chicken

ears. The bows were all ''up and OUT in short

on those ears, when another peal of laughter
sounded on the breeze. Those ears were

Whipping Horses.

Prof. Wagner, in writing upon this
subject, says: "Many think they are
doing finely, and are proud of their sue
cess in horse training, by means Of Sc
we're whipping or otherwise arousing and
stimulating the passions, and then crush
ing the will through which resistance is
prompted. No mistake can be greater
than this, and there is nothing that so
fully exhibits the ability, judgment and
skill of the real horseman as the care dis
played in winning instead of repeIli' &
the action of the mind. Although ~
may be necessary to use the whip some
times, it should always DO applied judi
ciously, and great care should be taken
not to arouse the passions or excite the
will to obstinancy. Tho legitimate and
proper use Of the whip is calculated TO
operate upon the sense Of tear entirely.
The affectionate and better nature must
be appealed TO in training horse as
well rs in training n child. A reproof
gwen may be intended for the good OF
the child, but if only the passions are
excited the object is depraving and in-
furious. This is vital principle and
can be disregarded in the management
of sensitive and courageous horses at the
risk of spelling them. | have known
many horses Of naturally gentle chara.
ter to be spoiled by whipping once, and
one horse that was made vicious by be-
ing struck with whip once while stand
ing in his stall.

Taste in Hair Dressing.

Young women always look well with
their hair taken off, so as TO show the
face. The ear, according as nature has
formed it with moro or less delicacy,
may be entirely uncovered or partially
hid; the forehead, if hight longer
than the nose-should be concealed a
little, and the face only uncovered near
the temples; long curls, such as Law
rence's figures wear falling on their
cheeks, have an expression of sentl-
mental reverie which may suit certain
romantic ladies but, in a general way,
the checks left bare and hair turned
back is more graceful and natural than
these dropping ringlets, which the most
chastc and tender kiss would dissar-
range. Why display beautiful curls on
the cheek when they look 50 elegant on
the nape of the ne OK 'orthe shoulder? To
conceal a part Of the face, is it not, and
make people suspect some defect, or to
lead them to believe more than really
exists? Women who hide under cork
screw curls their faded complexion, or
the mark faces the finger of time has
left on their faces, make themselves
look old by this very precaution. Sin
certify is best. As regards young girls,
they are always charming when they
display the whole of the face, youth is
such u slillful hair dresser.

4 tabular statement of the visitation
from grasshoppers in all the Western
States and Territories KANSAS and Mis-
souri cxcepted), from tho year 1913 t.
the present time, has been prepared ant
in now going the rounds Of the press
The table is as follows:
Washington and Oregon, 1927, 1928
1884, 1855 and 1855; California, 1888
1855, 1856; Indian Territory and Texas
lS45, 1855, 1856, 1866 1867, 1874, 1873
1876; Nebraska, 1866, 1867, 1868, 1869
1874, 1875, 1876; Colorado, 1855, 1864
1865, 1866, 1867, 1868, 1873, 1874, 1875
1876 Utah, 1852, 1855, 1856, 1857, 1868
1873; Wyoming ard Idaho, 1845, 1852
1855, 1873, 1874, 1875, 1876, Monten,
and Dakota, 1855, 1864, 1873, 1874, 1873
1876; Minnesota and Iowa, 1918, 1919
1920, 1855, 1855, lSt4, 1866, 1873, 1874
1875, 1876; Manitoba, 1915, 1919 1887,
1864. 1867, 1868, 1877, 1874.
Il Minnesota paper comments on this
table and says that "from this statement
it will be seen that Minnesota, after suf.
fering from the grasshoppers in 1918,
1919 and 1920, was tree from their raw.
ages for thirty. five years, or until 1888.
The next year they were here again, land
then we escaped from them for nine
years, or until 1864. Three years ;bero-
after they visited Us again. Then we
were free from them for elk years,
Since that time, or during three years,
they have been present IN some part OF
State.
Since 1918, period of IS years. there
have been 81 in which the grasshoppers
were not found in the limits of observa-
ton, either by settlers on the public
Irnds or the officers at government forts.
There are two theories as TO the disap
pearancc one is that they have retired
in immense numbers into the great plain
near the Rocky Mountains, the other is
that they were nearly destroyed by uh-
favorable seasons and had to wait until,
under favorable circumstances, they raj
lied their forces in their natural Matching
grounds OH the plains.
An inspection Of the table gives great
encouragement 20 the theory that from
upfavorable seasons and other natural
causes they are destroyed after the lapse
al lOuT 1tiIo lbC hOob' N''''
has expired in this region, and there is con
sequenty good reason for hoping that
we shall sec but little Of them this sea
son or for many years to como. If they
were capable of indefinite increase, the
year 1885, when they spread from Ore
gon to Texas, was a most favorable time
for an advance over the whole continent.
But on the contrary, within two years
they had disappeared everywhere, ex-
cept Utah.
In tho present state of knowledge on
the subject the only reliance We have is
on their annihiation BY natural, or as
some will say, ProvIdcntial causes
Their appearance and disappearance is
undoubtedly regulated by fixed rules
one of which seems TO be that within a
period of four years, they have hereto
fore, in every locality, run their course
and disappeared. This is hopeful fact,
and TO our mind the most hopeful indi-
cation on which the Inquirng mind can
rest. Let US make the most OF 1t"
