How TO TREAT BALKY HoRsE.-The
Fitchburg Mass Sentinel relates how a
Leominster farmer recently broke his horse
OF 'balky" freak in very quiet and not
cruel manner His horse is in excellent flesh
and shows no signs of neglect on the part of
his master. He drove him, attached to a
rack wagon, to the wood lot for q small load
OF wood. The animal would not pull pound.
He did not beat him with club, but tied him
TO tree and 'let him stand" He went to
the lot at sunset and asked him to draw, but
he would not straighten tug. ~ made up
my mind, >" said the farmer, when that horse
went to the barn he would take that load of
wood. The night was not cold. went to
the barn, got blankets and covered the horse
warm, and he stood until morning. Then he
refused to draw. At noon l went down and
he was probably hungry and lonesome. He
drew that load of wood the first time asked
him. l returned, got another load before l
fed him. then rewarded him with a good
dinner, which he eagerly devoured. have
drawn several loads since. Once he refused
to draw, but soon as he saw me start for the
house he started after me with the load. A
horse becomes lonesome and disconnected
when left alone as much as a person, and /
claim this method, il rightly used is far less
cruel and is better for both horse and man
than 10 beat the animal with a club"

Commissioner LOring's Report ON the
swine Industry.


Commissioner Loring has sent the presi-
don't his report on the swine industry of the
United States He emphatically says there
is no condition surrounding the industry
which tends to propagate disease or render
pork unhealthful. About 10000, 600 hogs
are raised annually, making a total of cured
meats, lard and other products Of !, 72j, 0O0,-
600 pounds. The most thorough inquiry
seems to have been made in the handling of
pork from the farm to port of debarkation.
From returns from railroad and transporta-
ton companies, slaughter houses, packers
and shippers, confirmed by those from boards
of health humane societies and experts en-
ployed by the commission, it appears that
the utmost care is preserved throughout that
dead hogs are never transported except to Of
fal rendering establishments; that diseased
hogs are refused transportation that hu-
name laws and sanitary regulations exist at
all stock-yards enforced by local inspectors
under penalty of fines, etc. ; that rigid scru-
tiny is enjoined at all slaughter houses that
methods of slaughter and packing, qualities
of material used, inspection, etc, are regu-
lated by rules of chambers of commerce and
of trade, and constant care is exercised to
see that no unhealthful means are employed
in any branch. Even the extremely small
percentage of trichinosis, as shown by the
Investigations of the agricultural depart
ment, seems to be largely removed by proc
essos of curing The commissioner denies
that hog cholera is dangerous to human
health, and asserts that it is impossible to
cure such meat even SO as to deceive the
most superficial examiner. Examination
proves our pork fully equal, perhaps superb
or, to that of France or Germany. No gen
eral disease exists and the occasional pres
ence of trichinU is comparatively unimpor-

How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
a goldwatc case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made, or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
a large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stiilen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
bic, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting, The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the james Boss Gold Watch Case -, vsJ .,,.
whichsaves the WASTE of need 3 D
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDITY and
STRENGTH Of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

The quotations of country produce in the
city papers are frequently utterly unreliable.
They are generally made by dealers who are
interested in buying as low as possible. The
country papers copy, and farmers are de-
ceived. In a city paper dated March 1 We
find choice Vermont butter, in straight dali
ries, quoted at IS to 2Oc, and choice fresh
butter at 80 to 25c. OF courso,sno really
choice butter is sold in the cities at these
prices At the same time butter is quoted at
Burlington, this state, at % to 500, and at
Norwich and Peacham sales are reported at
$40. Before it reaches the consumers ono or
more profits are added to these prices, yet
quotations of Boston markets are often lower
than wholesale prices paid in Vermont.
