The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1880-09-24

Col. SoLoN, of Oil City, announced to
his friends that he was willing to bet on
the result of the election in New York
State, and would give odds of 100 to
twenty-five. The news was noised
abroad and the Colonel soon had callers
in plenty. One man came down from
Titusville and waited around the streets
all day, missing the last train home, and
at last, when he met the Colonel, was in
formed that the money was ready.
"Well, sir, how will you bet ?" said the
Titusville chap. Zone hundred dollars
to $25," said Col. Scion, putting his hat
over his left eye and his fingers into the
sleeve-holes of his vest, " that Gen.
Weaver doesn't carry New York State
10y 70, 900 majority" And the man from
Titusville and the crowd and the little
dog that was trying to catch u fly all
yelled, some in pain, some for laughter
and one because somebody had stepped
on his tail.

Kerry. These estates cover about twen-

family of agents, the Trenches, who
have had the full support of the land

has escorted her home in the evening ?"
says this is question not devoid of diff
ficulties, and we therefore approach it
with some degree of hesitancy. Kissing
was originally mode of salutation
only, and III some countries, we believe,
it is now restricted to that use. AS such
it expresses reverence or worship. 1t is
common, also, in this country and else
where to kiss the hand in salutation.
To express alteration, various parts of
the body were and are kissed to distin-
gJlish the character of the alteration
paid. Thus. to kiss the lips is to adore
the living breath Of the person saluted
to kiss the feet or ground, is to humble
oneself in alteration to kiss the gar
ments, is to express veneration to what
ever belongs to or touches the person
who wears them. There are, nowadays,
various kin Is of kisses, having various
meanings "The kiss snatched hasty
from the sidelong maid (Thompson)
kisses like grains of gold or silver
found upon the ground, of no value
themselves, but precious as showing
that mine is near" (Villiers) "the
kiss of welcome and of parting-the
long, lingering, loving present one--the
stolen or the mutual one-the kiss of
love, of JOY and of sorrow-the seal of
promise and the receipt of ful6llment
(Haliburton) the "long, long kiss,
kiss of youth and love" Byron. The
kiss "of parting" spoken of by Hall
burton, Is the one under consideration.
Is it proper for young lady to indulge
in it? On general principles we should
say that if you have reason to admire
the gentleman who escorts you home,
and really feel like kissing him, do 50;
if not, refrain. If you love another, re-
frain. 1t might be advisable, also, to
refrain if the old folks are i'll hearing

WE have a report from England of a

furnished with the same material-not a
toy house, but real dwelling, fit to be
occupied by human beings. Included
in its furniture is a stove made of papier-

The report does not say whether the fire
will consume the stove or not. The

A REMARKABLE WoMAN.-An account
of remarkable woman appears in the
Boston Transcript. Mrs. Drusilla Laha
was born in Welheet, Mass, September
10, 1887, and at eighteen years of age was
married. her husband then being in COM
mand of vessel. After having been
married six years, she being but twenty
four years of age, and having had two
children, boy of four and one of two, her
husband was brought home to her an in
valid for life, hving been taken from the
side of his wrecked vessel after four DAYS
exposure to wind and the wash of waters.
Then it was that he became disheartened
and saw nothing but destitution staring
him and his family in the face. But to
her things looked different. She started
store, small at first, of course, but for fiftv-
nine years she made monthly visits to
Boston in small sail-boats, replenishiug
her stock, ETC., and she says many and
many a time she has taken over 800 a
day over her counter. For fifty years she
took care of her invalid husband, who was
not able even to dress himself She educa
ted her two boys and started them in
business, She also adopted, clothed, fed,
educated and placed in good positions in
the world twenty orphan boys and girls,
besides visiting and taking care of the sick
at all hours, day and night. She will be
ninety-three years old in September.

II. G. Spaulding, of Boston, who was at

EFFECT OF MOISTURE AND DRYNEss ON
HoOFs.-Lack of moisture is not necessari-
ly cause of brittleness of the hoof, since
the horses of the desert have the strongest
hoofs in the world, in spite of the exces-
sive dryness. A continued drought is
especially dangerous when it acts on II
foot accustomed to abundance of water.
Under the action of water the horn cells
absorb, increase in size. and push each
other apart. By its action, too, some of
the geatinous matter that builds up the
horn is dissolved out, and when the hoof
is again allowed to dry, 1t has lost mater
tally in its power of cohesion. The more
frequently the process of soaking and
drying is repeated, the more hurtful ii
proves to the hoof, which becomes in
creasingly brittle and liable to split up
and break off. If further. this tendency
TO brttleness has been inbred through
generations of horses kept in climates
where the feet are alternately soaked by
drenching rains, and withered by drying
suns, the danger is proportonately in
creased, and the feet of such race of
horses are especially liable to splitting
and injury 1t is not habitual dryness
that Injuries, it is the alterations of rain
and drought. While upon this subject it
may be we'll to note that the evil
effects of moisture may be largely war
ded off by smearing the mostened foot
with some impervious oily agent before
exposing it to the drying process. In
this way the moisture that has been alb
sorbed by the horn is retained, the sudden
drying and shrinking are obviated, and
the horn remains elastic and comparative
ly tough. AS it is needful to soak the
foot i'll warm or cold water, or in poultices
in cases of disease, it is all important that
the above-named precaution should be
! constantly borne in mind, and tn It the
softened foot should be smeared through.
out with some hoof ointment before it is
allowed to dry and harden. For this
purpose nothing is simpler nor better thar
mixture in equal parts of wood tar ant
whale oil or lard. This may be smearet
on the foot every other day.
In addition to the changes of weather
the frequent standing in rotting dung
heaps, or in pools of decomposng liquit
manure, may be named as causes of brittl'
hoofs. In the dung heap there is not onl.
the moisture and steam soaking and
softening the hoof, but there is abundance
of amonia gas, which is especially calcu
lated to soften, dissolve. and destroy thu
horn. Rotten manure and putrid liquors
therefore, are much more injurious thar
pure water, muddy pools, or wet clay
Again, the emanations of this kind are ia
from conducive to general health, so tha
they prove hurtful in two ways-frst, b.
directly destroying the substance of th
hoof, and, secondly, by reducing the ami

ing organic matter is still more injurious
however, when the animal is confined t.

effect of inactivity is added to the above

BERKSHIRE SwINE.-This is an English
breed, established many years ago. They
will be recognized in the pens by their
uniformity in color, which is black, with
white marking in the face, on the feet, and
the brush of the tail. Occasional small
spots of white may be found elsewhere
but, while they are not considered dcsir-
able by fancy breeders, they are in no wise
an indication of impure blood. Sandy, Or
reddish-brown spots, may also occasion
ally be found. which are simply indications
of a reversion to the original color of the
breed. which was, quite often, black spots
on sandy ground
The best type of the Berkshire, as now
bred, has a short and fine nose. slightly
dished or curved upward, is wide between
the eyes, has small and fine ears, standing
very nearly erect, straight back, of uni
form with from shoulder to ham, short
legs, and fine bone. Formerly, the Berk.
shire was not famous as lard hog, but
modern breeders have greatly improved
the breed in this direction, if it be an i'm
provement. until it is perhaps, equal tc
any other in that particular. The prevail.
ing tendency among the breeders of Berk
shires has been toward this point for many
years, and we now see but few of the big
boned, heavy eared, and enormously large
specimens of the breed that was common
ten Or fifteen years ago. The weight oi
the matured Berkshire of to day is from
800 to 600 pounds. 1t is, perhaps, the
most active and muscular of all our breed.
Of swine; and, while this has often beer
urged as an objection to the breed. yet it ii
quality that renders it especial desirabl,
to follow cattle-a method of feeding mucf
practiced by farmers in the great corn
growing regions. .-NationGI LiUe Stock
