New Mode Of Treating Tomatoes.

earth, plant two or three seeds in it

and pulling out the others; when it il

the turnip, with its contents undisturbed

Selling for Sick Horses.

The common custom is to turn horses
out to pasture when they are sick OF
lame, or recovering from sickness OF
lameness. This is especially true OF
those cases in which the animals are SUI.
fering from overdriving. The plan has
had and still has many advocates. but
the more thoughtful veterinarians and
horse owners now question its utility.
In the Journal of Comparative Medicine
is an article in which the ground is taken
that horses turned out from warm stables
TO run at large in pastures not infre-
quently catch colds, which sometimes
end in serious maladies. They have been
carefully housed, fed and groomed while
in health, but when ailing are turned
into fields where they are exposed to
chilling storms and scorching sun; to the
attacks of insects, to accidents, and
sometimes to fatigue from travelling over
much ground in order to get enough
food. The results of such treatment,
which might do well enough for horse
than harmful in many if not in most
cases where horses are weakened by
sickness.
BY the s0lnng system tneSe evils may
be avoided, while all the benefits of past
uring may be obtained. The invalid
should be confined in lot of about hal
an acre and there ted and watered regu
larly and carefully. Under this plan the
food could be frequently changed. the
exercise needed could be secured, pro
lection from inclement weather and
from the annoying attacks of insect;
could be given, and generally efficien
supervision over the ailing animal could
be had without trouble.

A Rival to the Toy Pistol.

1t begins to look as If a person is
hardly safe in sitting down to dinner
unless provided with life insurance
policy. So many people have died within
the past few weeks from the effects OF
eating pancakes, canned vegetables, ham
and dried fruit, and the usually molten
sive turkey bone has proved such 8
deadly weapon in the hands of the un.
skillful, that life is made almost miser.
able by the thought that eating. though
extremely dangerous, is the one necessity
Of existence. Even pauper is not ex.
empt from the dangers that beset the
most selfish epicure. as the sad circum-
stances attending = charity dinner in
Germantown a few days ago clearly
demonstrates. In Washington County
the wiry chicken bone caught an unsus-
pecting man by the throat and run him
through, and it is but reasonable to as
sumo that other chicken bones are lying
in wait for victims. In time the chicken
bone may become as deadly to the anna
teur as the toy pistol or the summer
