CONTAGIOUS Diseases in Stables.

When we consider for moment the
number of diseases of q contagious
nature to which horses are subject
and the careless manner in which they
are exposed to the same, it is aston.
ishing that we do not have epidemics
OF this kind oftener with our horses
To fully appreciate the risk that is in.
CURED, we need only visit the city or
country towns on court day or Satur
days, and see the number Of horses oil
all kinds and conditions that stand
tied and almost touching each other
in every available space about town,
to say nothing OF the number that are
packed together in the public stables.
The latter, as a rule are much safer
from coming IN contact with disease
than those on the outside, for no SEN
sible stableman would admit an ami
NAL inside his stables that is affected
with any kind of contagious disease
if he knew it; but it often happens
that neither the owner of the horse
nor the stableman 1s aware of the dis
ease until it is too late to remedy the
evil.
Contagious diseases of q most viru-
lent character may be perpetuated for
an indefinite length Of time by feeding
horses in stalls where the disease has
existed. OF this kind we may men
ton CHAMBERS and Spanish itch es-
pecially. Either Of these most fatal
disorders may be conveyed to other
horses by feeding in a stall where
horses suffering with them have been
kept. To destroy the virus take a
pint OF sulphuric acid and put it in a
bucket of water, and with an old mon
wash all parts of the stall, especially
the trough and manager, as we'll as the
sides of the stall. Then put a few
pounds OF stick sulphur in an old iron
pot, and, stopping the stable as well
as possible, burn it, so as to fumigate
the stable thoroughly, taking due pre-
cautions against fire. 1t is a good
plan to set the pot in tub of water
then whitewash with lime and carboliC
acid. This will protect them thor.

A French Female Soldier.

The grande nation prides itself on
its women soldiers, from Joan of Arc
downward. Here is one OF the stories
which the In termediaire des Chercheurs
publishes as "reminiscences OF the
women who have fought in the French
army. The Twenty-seventh Regi.
ment was ordered out on May
2, 1905, near Lisbon, and
lost its colonel in the attack. Sergt.
geant Chesquiere, seeing his superior
lying beneath his horse under a large
rug, said to his comrades: ''The body
OF q colonel is the flag which belongs
to a regiment, and the Twenty
seventh will keep its own" The
three went toward the spot
where the wounded man lay, but
the two comrades were wounded on
their way, and remained behind
Chesquiere arrived alone; but weak as
he was, he tried in vain to take the
colonel on his shoulders. Two English
officers tried to prevent him. The ser.
geant, grabbing his gun, wounded his
assallants, made them both prisoners
and with their aid brought the colonel
who still breathed, into the camp
-Chesquiere had received aslight wound
In the left arm, and was taken to his
regiment. Later on he was wounded
n the chest and brought before q sur
geon, out Chesquiere could not be per
suaded to undergo the operation il
public. This valorous sergeant was 8
woman named Virginie Chesauiere
porn at Delermont, near Lille. At the
beginning of the year 1906 she had
joined the army in the place of hel
twin brother who was OF q delicate
constitution, and to whom the hard
ships OF campaign would have beer
fatal. She received a decoration from
the hands of the colonel whom sht
had saved, and left the army at tn,
end of 1912.

And so pretty Bessie Moore, with
her hair as golden as the field OF but

Satterthwaite married the sour-faced
Maria Bogwood, much to the surprise
OF the village folks and the public gen.

"And now for the $4,000" thought
Martin, well pleased with the success

And accordingly one morning he

The Fortified Body Woman

From the New York Tribunel
In a large box, just from Colorado,
lies the hardened body OF a young In.
dian woman almost perfectly pre-
served, with long black hair and eve
brows, in gayly- beaded moccasins and
leggins OF soft skin. The mummy be-
longs to II. II. Tammen, OF Denver.

Treatment of Permanent Moving.

While rotation of the moving lands
is often desirable, yet on most New En-
gland farms permanent mowing5 are
wanted. 1t is bad practice to pasture
the lands devoted to this purpose
But it is to be admitted that there
are times and circumstances when it is
very tempting to do this. The
pastures may be dry, but the cattle
need not suffer in consequence, in not
being allowed upon that part OF the
farm which is depended upon for the
production of hay. They can be put
into the barn and fed there upon the
products of the permanent mowings
The grass will be in much better con
dition by keeping off the cattle, for
even the simple tramping of the cat
ties feet, is a great injury, breaking
off, as it does, the roots of the grass.
In this section there is a liability OF
injury from the action Of thefrost, and
it is a good plan to have old grass
present to protect the moving.
Practice top-manuring, and be sure
that all the manure is in the form OF
a compost. The application of pure
animal excrements is Objectionable,
not only because tits wasteful opera
ton, but because in @ dry season
trouble is likely to arise when harvest
ing from the solid masses strewing the
field. 1t is good practice to pillow up
such field occasionally if the soil is
retentive, for it hardens in time and
will be benefited by aerating. If it is
clayey land, treat it thus at least once
in seven years; but should the land be
soft it can be allowed to lie undis-
turbed for a much longer term. En-
terrain no fear Of losing your quality
of grass by breaking it up. Attend to
this operation in August and reseed
the same month. Should the entire
breaking up OF the land involve too
much expense, good results may be
effected by using drag; then SOW to
grass and roll down.

THE RURAL HOME.
The Head of the House.

"Im head of the house." said he,
With feeling OF manly pride;
For the wants of my family,
Their everyday needs / provide;
And my order must be Obeyed
As If 'twere the kings decree.
BY mistress as well as maid
For "Pm head OF the house" said he.
II call the cook to account
If she's given to wastefui ways;
And know the exact amount
NY wife fG1 each item pays;
settle the bills, and SO
The grocers and butchers, you see,
And merchants and milliners know
am head of the house." said he.
my domestic affairs all move
Like clock from morn till night
And that is enough to prove
That my way of doing is right;
My subjects obey my laws,
And with my requests agree,
And order prevails because
| am head of the house" said ne.
The wife, though she did not boast
OF any Superior skill,
Or claim that she ruled the roost,
Or followed her own sweet will,
Was ready to note and quen
Marauding of maid or mouse,
That everything there might tell
That she was the heart of the house.
The comfort OF those around
Was always her daily care;
However narrow the bound
OF home-it was home-like there;
In parlor, in kitchen, or hall,
Wherever she CHANGED to be,
beauty waSover al,
For the heart OF the house was she.
Another with pomp and pride
May rule, and their scepter sway;
But over the ingle side
She reigns in quiet way;
Another may choose to be
The head-she will not-demur;
For the heart of the house is she,
And that is enough for her.

From the New York Tribune.

| From the New York Tribune.l
The Mormon merchants who come
to New York for goods at this season
are much like the merchants from any
other community in the West. They
are fond of good stories and good com
partnership, and can tell stories
with the rest OF mankind. | was in a
group of them the other day, when
mention was made of the famous
Porter Rockwell, who has been writ
ten up at different times as a DANTE
leader. He is dead now. One of the
Mormons said about him: "Porter
Rockwell was one of the rough dia-
monds that only the frontier breeds.
He was not the fend he has been
pictured. He was a whole-hearted
man. But it is of no use for me to say
that among strangers after the pictures
that have been drawn of him. Hehad
q little dog, of the Scotch breed, that
was his constant companion for years.
The beast was trained to sit behind
him on the saddle and ride wherever
he went. Rockwell used to go through
the country to the Pacific Coast, while
1t was yet swarming with savages,
long before there was even a trail to
follow. When he went to sleep the
dog kept watch. Rockwell got finally
on good terms with the Indians. He
was in one of their camps one day and
had stretched himself out to rest, sur
rounded by his saddle and travelling
outfit. A thieving Indian came along
and tried to steal something out OF
the pack. Rockwell, who was awake,
although ne knew he was surrounded
by Indians and was miles away from
any white help, drew his pistol, took
deliberate aim, and shot off one OF the
thiePs fingers. The Indians, who knew
the fellow fol- a thief, recognized the
Justice of Rockwell's action and made
no effort to punish him. Indeed, the
fact that he had done such a thing to
protect his property made them have
great respect for him"
