HORSE PARALYSIS.
4 Dangerous Affection Which Demands
Immediate Treatment.


4 Dangerous Affection Which Demands
Immediate Treatment.
Paralysis in horses almost invariably
affects the hind limbs, and is due to a
disordered condition of the sciatic
nerve. The attack is generally very
sudden and occurs when the animal is
in harness, the first symptom being
weakness in one hind leg, which will
be thrown out toward the shaft or traces,
accompanied by knuckling of the fet-
lock. The first thought that usually
occurs to the driver is that the animal
must have stepped upon something
that has injured its foot. Unless the
horse is stopped and active treatment
begun at once the other leg will gener-
ally be affected in short time, when if
the attack is severe the animal will fall
upon its launches and can not rise.
Upon the first appearance of faltering
and Knocking the horse should be
stopped and covered with blankets SO
as to keep the loin and hips warm. The
hip quarter and gaskin should then be
rubbed briskly for short time. Call
in the assistance of some strong men,
and after removing the patient from
the shafts place a blanket, robe Or
strong piece of canvass under the belly,
well back toward the hind legs, and let
one or two men take hold of it on each
side to help support the animal, which
should be led carefully to the nearest
stable. Any attempt at hurrying will
aggravate the complaint, and if the suf-
ferer falls the chances for recovery are
very much diminished. Call in a vet
Urinary surgeon at the earliest possible
moment. In the meantime, after
reaching the stable, apply water as hot
as it can be borne to the loin, hip and
thigh. A little mustard added to enc
water will increase its stimulating
properties. As remedy give half

EXPOSURE OF STOCK.
Why Butter Is Harder in Winter Than "a
Summer.

Why butter is harder in winter than
in summer depends on several causes.
One of the causes is attributed to the
greater combustion of the softer varie.
ties of fat in cold weather. 1t is noto-
rious that all kinds offat arc burned up
in the bodies of animals to sustain ami
NAL heat, and it is equally well known
that the softest and most volatile ones
burn the most rapidly. In the winter,
therefore, when the combustion of fat
in the bodies of animals is greatest, the
heaviest drafts are made upon the most
combustible varieties, and as these are
the softest, there is left relatively more
hard fat than soft to be secreted il
milk, which makes the butter harder.
We have seen this fact many times con-
firmed by tests of milk from cows ex-
posed to the cold as compared with
milk from the same COW in more COM
Portable condition. The more a COW is
exposed to the cold, the poorer and
harder her butter The more comfort
able she is kept, the softer and higher
favored her butter and the more of it.
when all other conditions are equal.
The amount of fat, and flesh also,
burned up in the bodies of cows, and
other cattle as well, in the great West
and Northwest, to restore the heat car
ried away by exposure to the strong,
cold winds of that vast territory, is
enormous, and most of it needless, and
would be obviated if appreciated. The
length of winter and intensity of cold
in all such high latitudes make this
draft so severe upon stock not well
housed, as to go far toward making
the farmer as well as his butter poor.
There is usually quite wide differ
ence in the density of fat in the sum-
mer and winter food of COWS. The fat
in grass yields, on analysis, sixty
per cent. of high-colored and soft, and
forty per cent. pale and hard. When
that grass has become matured and
made into hay. the above proportions
are reversed. There is wider differ
ence still between the young heritage
of grain and the ripened straw of the
same plant, and the same may be said
of corn slower AS the fat in the food
of COW re-appears in her milk, the
hard, pale fat in her customary winter
food contributes largely to the harder
consistency of the butter made from
her winter milk. Other influences, as
nearing the close of the milking
season and the approach of maternity,
have some effect, but the principal
causes are in the food and exposure to
cold. The treatment of milk and
cream in the manufacture of butter
must be varied to meet these varying
influences if we would be successful ia
getting best results.-NationaI LiUe
St0ck Journal.

There was no answer. The car came up

his office. He hadn't got off his overcoat
when the other came in, scraped off lot of
snow on the stove, warmed his hands, and
by and by inquired:

What was it?"

Then he pulled off his overcoat, sat
down, and for two long hours he wolloped

Hudson's Bay and ending up in Florida
He talked snow, rain, hail, billiards and
fog, and to get rid OF him the other had to
put on his overcoat, lock the door and
walk around the block. AS they parted at
the foot of the stairs the visitor observed

Dog s right ear is named Muliphen, and has
undergone singular changes. In the seven

ChEMlCAL ANALYSIS OF SUMMER MI
Mean of several tests.l
Gn1Lrce off LIE

Such tests are not final. They can
not settle the breed standard of milk
for the reason that there is such diff
ference in animals of the same breed.
But they are valuable in establishing
outline judgment. The question of the
superiority of the dairy breeds for dairy
purposes can not rest on a qualitative
analysis. Suppose the flesh of Jer-
sey, a Holstein, short horn and
Galloway steer were submitted to Prof.
Brown to determine by analysis which
is the most profitable breed for beefing
purposes. He would say: "Gentle-
men, | can give you an understanding
of the relative elements of the several
specimens of flesh before me. They
may vary somewhat in their constitr.-
ent relations, but simple analysis will
throw no light on the aptitude of the
animal OF breed for forming flesh profit
ably" The same principle holds good
in milk.
The question (which is the best
cow?" must be answered in the light of
several other questions. Chief of which
is-the purpose she is wanted for;
whether butter, beef or cheese and
milk. In this division of purpose we
are but obedient to an established drift
or tendency, inside SO by years of
special purpose breeding. This princi-
pie is clearly seen and obeyed in our
understanding of horses and dogs. A..
man would be counted fool that I'M
dertook to hunt snipe with bulldog.
For that purpose the wise hunter takes
dog that has been bred to such pur-
pose. -H0Qyd'S DGirym0n.

Great Nations Destroyed by Drink.

The great empires of antiquity might
still have been fourishing but for GER
tain destructive agencies cherished
within their own bosoms. Babylon was
conquered, not so much by the arms of
the Modes and Persians, as by drunk
enness and revelry. Had it not been
for the debauchery of her King and
Princes and the general effeminacy of
her people she might long have reared
her lofty brow among the nations, with
her hanging gardens and fair palaces,
the admiration and delight of all be-
holders. Persia fell, not so much by
the energy and valor of the Greek
army as by the drunkenness of her
Kings and people. Had it not been for
this, that wonderful people might have
still been a powerin the world. Greece,
in her turn, fell. not so much by the
proves of the Roman arms, as by her
own discord and effeminacy. Save for
this, Athens, in art, science and man.
ners, might still have been the worlds
wonder and example. Rome fell,
not so much by the hordes of Goths,
Huns and Vandals descending upon her
plains and assaulting her cities as by
the careless ease and sottishness of her
people. Wine and spoil took away
the heart of that great empire
and unnerved its mighty ann. But for
this, Rome, from her seven hills, might
still have been controlling the destinies
of the world, or at least leading in the
van of nations.-IriSh World.

A SALOON "BoYcoTTED."

How the Knights OF Labor Might Render
Service to the Working Glasses of the
Entire Country.
The proprietor of a gin-mill at st.
Louis is undergoing "bo ycott'' insti-
tuted by the Knights of Labor of that
city, which has proved so effective thus
far that the total destruction of mis-
business is said to be inevitable unless
he can rehabilitate himself in the favor
of that organization. The offense for
which he is punished is a refusal to let
his hall to the street-car strikers of st.
Louis for ball, because of his disap-
proval of their use of dynamite as a
means of coercing the railway COM
panies into compliance with their de-
mands. The saloon-keeper unques-
tionably had the right to control his
own property, and decline to let it to
the strikers or any other persons for
any purpose whatever, if it so pleased
him. Equally clear is the right of tho
Knights of Labor to withhold their pat
ronage from him if they see fit, and to
induce other men to do likewise, pro-
viding that they resort to no violent or
illegal methods to accomplish that end.
So far honors are easy; but on general
principles this particular boycott is
to be commended, and if its scope
could be enlarged so as to embrace all
the whisky-shops in the country, the
Knights ofLabor would render service
to the working classes the value of
which could hardly be exaggerated.
Rum is more formidable enemy to the
wage-workers of the United States than
all the corporations and monopolies of
the country combined, and more to be
feared by them than thousand Jay
Goulds and Vanderbilts. The powerful
machinery of the Knights OF Labor
could not possibly be better employed
than in carrying on perpetual "boy-
cott'' against the saloons. Chicago

HAPPIEsT DAYS.

I said to the little children:
You are living your happiest days."
And their wide eyes opened wider
In innocent amaze;
For their happiness was so perfect,
They did not know it then,
Oh, no." they said, "theren be happier
days.
When we are women and men"
] said to the youth and maiden:
You are living your happest days."
And into their sparkling eyes there crept
A dreamy, far-off gaze,
And their hands sought one another's.
And their cheeks flushed rosy red:
= On, nor they said, "there'Il be happier
For us when we are we'd"
/ said to the man and woman;
You are living your happiest days."
As they laughingly watched together
Their baby's cunning ways,
F." These days are days of labor;
They can hardly be our best;
There Il be happier days when the children
are grown,
And we have earned our rest"
I said to the aged couple:
- You are living your happicst days;
Your children do you honor;
You have won success aud praise"
With peaceful look, they answered.:

But we think therell be happier days for
