AbOlishing the Horse.

Just think of it! Scientists say that
in few wears there will be no need of
horses; that inventions have been per-
fected which will give us artificial loco
motion, and we can do without the aid
of quadrupeds. It is not the bicycle,
although that is coming more and more
into popular favor. Already we hear
of the improved bicycles being used in
travelling all over the country; but the
new machines are run by kind of air.
pump and have already been tried in
England. Their inventor is . Colonel
Beaumont, member of Parliament,
and he has succeeded in hauling twelve
tons twenty miles with only one charge
of air. The machine is noiseless, and
looks like large tank on wheels, with
handles on top, where the driver is
placed. This engine, it is thought, is
capable of immense development, and
may not only replace horses, but dis
pense, in measure. with railways.
just think Of it! A machine that will
do the work of a horse twenty times re-
peated and which will never run away!

Protection to Trees and Shrubs.

1t is very annoying to have trees and
shrubs destroyed by frost after one has
been to considerable expense to procure
and cultivate them. The climate of the
prairie regions of the West is unfavor-
able to the preservation Of tender vari-
cites during the winter on account of
the frequent changes. 1t is even worse
than the climate of much higher lati-
tudes, as the cold there continues
from fall till spring. There is also a
large amount Of snow that affords the
best protection. It is easy to raise
peach trees in this latitude, but difficult
to obtain varieties sufficiently hardy to
endure the effect of repeated freezings
and thawings. Small peach trees may
be protected by tying the branches to-
gether by bands of hay or straw, and
standing long stalks of corn about them.
After the latter are in place they should
be kept secure by means of q rope or
piece of wire, such as is used for bind
ing grain. Large trees may be pro-
tected by tying the branches together
and building straw stacks about them.
Protection may also be afforded by
means of cap formed of corn stalks or
long rye straw. By means Of three or
four sets of fence rails a framework
may be constructed about q peach tree
which, when filled with straw, will
afford the most ample protection.
Some plant shrubs may be bent down
to the earth, fastened in position by
means of forked sticks and covered
with soil and straw. Some that will not
bear bending may be covered with
straw, twisted in the form of bands.
IT rose bushes or tender shrubs of
any sort stand in rows they may be
protected by building q wall of boards
on each side and filing with tan bark.
forest leaves, or chopped straw. The
boards may be of poor quality of
lumber. and can be held in position by
stakes. The top of the protector can
be covered with boards or earth round
ed Oversee that it will carry of the
rain. One set of boards and stakes,
with good care will last many years.
The material employed for filling the
space between them can be used to
good advantage for mulch in the sum-
mer. The stakes should be set and the
boards nailed to them before the ground
freezes. but it is not necessary to sup
ply the filling till after heavy frost oc-
ours. If some of the shrubs and bushes
are quite tall they may be bent over
and held to the ground by means of
weights, or secured by cross sticks.
The covering should remain in place
till all danger from heavy frost is over
in the spring. - Chicago Times.

Hogs I'm Winter.

There is no domestic animal that suf-
fers so much from exposure to cold and
wet as the hog. He is q native of q
mild climate and should be treated as
his nature demands, if we would turn
his peculiarities to our advantage. And
during winter he should be provided
with warm, dry quarters, plenty of
warm, clean bedding, and an abundant
supply of nutritious, fat and heat pro-
ducing food. For this purpose there is
nothing equal to corn, owing to the
large amount of carbon in it's COM
position, which the hog appropriates in
producing fat and heat to warm his
system-the same as our stoves con-
sumo carbon in the form of wood and
coal to warm our rooms. The colder
and more exposed these are, the more
fuel we are obliged to consume to make
them comfortable. just so with the
hog; the less care is expended in max
ing his quarters comfortable, the more
corn he must consume to keep up the
animal heat, and, if not supplied with
the necessary amount of food, his
system has to fall back on the carbon
it has stored in the form Of fat, and he
must necessarily lose in weight, at his
careless or thoughtless owner expense.
Hogs should also have good supply
of water, salt, coal and ashes. Salt il
available stimulator Of the appetite and
digestive organs.
During warm days in the winter, the
feed should be regulated according to
the temperature, just ~ we would
regulate the fuel according to the ce-
mands of the weather. When the
weather suddenly becomes warm,
animals lose their appetites and are
liable to become ssstalled. "vas Some
cooling, succulent food, as slop or
vegetables of some kind, should be sub
stituted for the more heating food Of
grain. Western Rwr0l.
