The pigs should hasa room for eAsr-

and buttermilk give whitoness and
sweetness to the flesh. and oats and

especially sweet corn, both stalk and

PETROLEUM WELLS.
The Selection and First Tapping OF Prom
ising Spots.


Prospectors in selecting promising
spot to test new territory are often in
nuenced by "belt theory, first adj
yanced by man named Angoli. In
general way his idea has been verified
by experience. Il proceeded upon the
hypothesis that oil lies in belts or pools
having northeast aud a southwest
trend, sometimes called the "forty-hve
degree line" In districts pIown TO be
oil-bearing the wells are frequently To-
Gated near the boundary OF the owners
property. The object is to drain as
much of his neighbor's oil as possible.
Tor thero are no partitions in the sub
terranean chambers corresponding
TO The lines Of surface ownership. The
drillers motto Is first come, first
served" hence there is generally a
race to SEQ who shall first tap natures 5
When the exact spot for the well has
been determined upon, a weil-holo A
dug about fifteen feet In depth, and Il
solid rock Is not reached, a wrought
iron pipe eight TO twelve inches In
diameter Is driven down 10 Il. Above
this Is erected the derrick, q pyramid

of Interest 70 horsemen,

The New York Sun editorially says; Their,
have always been two theories upon the
shoeing Of horses. One is that they ought
to be shod, and the other, supported by what
we win call the Barefooted Brigade, is that
they should 20 without shoes. The Shoers
are much the more numerous, but the Bare
foots are, II anything more cock sure that
they are right. We have always been in
clined TO approve Of shoes, not for weak and
defective feet only, but as the proper applI-
ances for all feet, however good. and as prac-
tically indispensable for horses that are liza
BILE to be called on for high rate Of speed.
When 1t comes to pounding, there must be
something to pound with more substantial
than the naked hoof
We have often seen instances Of horses be-
longing to quiet country families going shoe
less with perfect comfort and safety, but the
performance Of Gov. Stanford's tr0tting colt
Antevolo, a flyer Of the 6rst rank.
for bare feet in the highest promi.
nence. Antevelo has been trotting now
for several years without shoes, or with tips
only. He made a record OF 2.193 In Septena-
Der, 1886, and In the great race recently won
by Harry Wilkes, Antevelo was timed ID
each Of the four heats, with this splendid
result: 2.l6, 2.17, 2.17f and 2.1sf. II must
have been good, hardish track 10 allow
Harry Wildes to beat that, and trot a half
mile In 1.04A besides; but IL seems that the
barefooted horses hoofs were ct TO pound
about as hard and fast In the fourth heat as
In the hrst. IL was a very noticeable per
Torrance, and well worthy the careful con-
sideration OF all horse-loving economists.

In John Morley's English Men OF Letters
Series, Sir Philip Sidney is the latest issue.
1t is writted by j. Addlngton Synonds, who
has already eontributel biography Of Shell
ley to the same set. Nothing passes under
the editorial eye Of Mr. Morley lid. isnot
well done, and Mr.. Symonds's work 10 *
cellent. AS the author says, It's somewhat
difficult to account for the great and lasting
fame Of Sidney upon an examination Of what
be actually did. His wide repute appears
rather to be founded upon the general accep-
tation Of what he might have done-of his
capacity to have achieved any work that had
been laid out for him to do. He was soldier,
diplomat, courtier and poet; and though
only in his forty-second year, when, In a
charge of cavalry, he received the fatal
wound that caused his death, he was Hooked
upon as the foremost gentleman Of England,
or indeed Of all Europe. Certainly he was
the bright particular star in that splendid
galaxy Of the Elizabethan era. Mendoza,
the Spanish Secretary, and Of course his
enemy, said that although he could not but
rejoice at the loss 10 his master Of such
foe, he yet lamented to see Christendom de-
prived Of so great light, and bewailed poor
widowed England. Greville says, Indeed
he was true model of worth; man fit for
conquest, plantation, reformation, or what
ever is greatest and hardest among men,"
His nature combined chiyalry and piety,
courtly bending and humane culture, states
manship and loyalty, In what Wotton so
well called 'the very essence Of congruity."
This is good biography for young men to
read. In these selfish days Of not overscru-
pulous pushing for lucre and mere worldly
honors, it can do no harm to look back upon
pure and gentle life like Sir Philip Sid
