MANAGEMENT OF BULLS.
Vicious Animals Made So by the Brutality
of Their Attendants.

vicious Animals Made So by the Brutality
of Their Attendants.
The idea that every bull is incorrigibly
vicious, is not warranted by the facts.
Kindness and firmness are as necessary
In the management of bulls as in the
case OF any other animals. A writer
says In something like thirty years
experience of a short-horn herd, in
which bulls were reared for sale, and
into which sires were drafted from va
rious herds, | have never known a vi
cious bull, if l except the following case,
which goes to prove the truth of my
contention One young bull was what
calle0 a lively one, playful and simply
needed that you kept your eye upon
him when loose, or in his gambols he
might have upset you. Once, when he
was chating at his strap, owing to flies,
visitor, a friend of the owner, struck
him several blows with his stick, re-
marking that he needed correction.
Had the bull been loose, the CORRECTION
would have been reversed, for so lon O
as the bull remained in the herd, when
ever he heard the voice or the footsteps
of the man who had struck him, he
made desperate effort to release HIM
self. In proof that his rage was re-
served for this one man, may mention
that one night noise was heard in
the farm-yard One of the men went
down, and found the bull
loose in the yard He walked up to it,
took it by the nose-ring, and led it as
quietly as a lamb back to its stall. In
this herd the animals were always
kindly but firmly treated, and kept in
constant contact with human beings;
up to year old they were let out daily
in the yard for exercise. Before being
sold ring was put in their nose, and
they were bound up in a stall by a
leather strap round the neck, and af-
fixed to head stake with a movable
ring to the latter, regularly led out for
exercise, and kept in touch with the
human attendants. Whenever | hear
of vicious bull | come to the conclu-
sion that he has been badly trained in
youth. Whenever hear of bull at
lacking human being, am convinced
that he is but repaying previous brutal
treatment When COW kicks on being
MIXED, she is either suffering from sore
teats, or has been abused. Whenever
COW holds her milk, it is a sign that
her attendant has ill-used her. When
ever see a kicking, unmanageable or
stupid horse, depend upon it that he
has been in the hands of an incompe-
tent breeder or trainer, or both. Either
he has been unskillfully treated as a
foal, or badly broken. Scottish Ag2j-

WATERING HORSES.
An Important Duty, and How 1t Should
BE Performed.


Do you expect your horse, like
camel, to lay in a supply of water to
last it across the desert of an entire dayp
Do you even expect it to 90 half day
withOut drinking, and all this time draw
the pillow or drag, in the blaze of burn
ing sunP If so, you are all wrong. The
stomach of the horse, compared with the
size of the animal, is no larger than that
of man. The horse perspireS, as man
does, and as a natural result it gets
thirsty the same. When you feel the
need of drink because of heat and the
loss of moisture by perspiration, think
of your horse, which very likely is suf-
fering the same AS you are. If not
given sufficient drink, it will take in an
enormous and injurious quantity of
water when it gets chance, drinking
until its sides are extended and it is al
most ready to split. 1t then is really in
no fit condition for any thinguntil some
of this water gets into the circulation,
cooling and refreshing the fevered
atoms of life, and the balance is
thrown off through the appropriate
organs. Then your horse is back again
to the normal condition of health
and activity, and no longer feels logy
and lazy, as if the whole system were
ready to fall apart With the stomach
and intestines full of water, the horse
is not even i'm a condition to eat. The
wash of so much water must both dilute
and carry away through the intestines
the gastric juices designed for use in the
digestive process. Then give your horse
frequent opportunities to drink. A few
swallows as you put it up at noon or
night in the stable will do it good and
help digestion, but gorging with water
should be avoided. As with water, so
with food, the small stomach of the horse
requiring comparatively concentrated
food and at frequent intervals. When
you are at work or riding on the road,
and feel your own stomach calling for
food. you may know your horse feels
/ the same need, as he is doing more ex-
haustive work than YOU are, especially
if YOU are riding. Working on an empty
| stomach is drawing on the constitutional
resources of the body. Such a drain
/ should be avoided as much as possible.
! Remember, tie animal nature of the
horse sverv much like that of the man;
| for this reason, the horse requires food
and drink with the same frequency and
! regularity that man does, - aii0Hdl

joint When these points are felt to be
well covered, the other and better parts
may be considered to be in perfection,
and prime condition may be expected.
But the general handling must establish
the real condition, for there is a wide
difference between the apparent and
real fairness of an OK. The flesh of an
OK that appeared very fat to the eye
may feel loose and fabby; but a truly
tattened animal always feels "hand

JUDGING CATTLE.
The Good Qualities of Animals Ascertain
able by Touch or Handling.

The Good Qualities of Animals Ascertain
able by Touch or Handling.
In Judging cattle the touch as well as
the eye is brought into request, and ex-
cept in regard to certain points of con-
formation and color, we are by no
means sure that ''touch" is not the
most important qualification.
The skin and the flesh can only be
fully examined by touch or handling,
And in ascertaining if the bones are
well covered with flesh, and if the latter
is soft to the touch and ample in guam
tity on the examined points, the squeeze
of the palm of the hand is not so deli
cate as the touch of the tips of the fin
gers, the former ascertaining the guam
tity, the latter judges of the quality.
The touch may lie hard or mellow, fine
or harsh, good or bad, as it is frequently
termed. A slow feeder is marked by
having thick-set, hard, short hair,
which constitutes a bad touch; a thin,
meager, papery skin, covered with thin
silky hair, though the opposite of the
one Just mentioned, does not constitute
a good touch, but is indicative of weak
ness of constitution though probably of
good breeding properties A good
touch will be found in a thick, loose
skin, floating as it were on a layer of
soft fat, yielding to the least pressure,
and springing back towards the fingers
like piece of soft, thick channels
leather, and covered with thick, glossy,
soft hair which looks rich and
beautiful, and seems warm and COM
Portable to the animal. A curly pile
of soft hair indicates a vigorous con-
stitution, and also propensity to fat
ten. Such a skin is termed 'mossy,"
from resembling a bed of fine, soft
moss. The sensation of fine touch is
very gratifying to the handler; the ami
NAL is Liked, and more especially as it is
mostly accompanied by symmetrical
form Long practice is required to APP
preciate a fine touch, but when it is ac-
quired it is alone sufficient to estimate
the feeding properties of an OK.
In the fat animal the position of the
flesh on the carcass is a great cOnsidera-
ton. The finest meat lies on the loins
and rump, and on the fore and middle
ribs; consequently the OK that carries
the largest quantity of beef on these
points is the most valuable. The other
parts, of various qualities, and used for
soups and sailing, do not fetch the high
prices of the parts described.
The point or top of the rump is the
first part OF a feeding OK that shows the
fat, and the parts that are last in being
covered with flesh are the top of the
shoulder and the point of the shoulder

A Curio us Case at Law.

A remarkable case will shortly be de-
cided in the English Court Of Chancery.
About five years ago Mr.. Ayling, Of
Portsmouth died, leaving his property
to his wife during her widowhood, but
If she married again it was to be di-
Vided among their seven children. In
1888 Mrs Ayling married, and the
property was accordingly divided Two
years later, however, it turned out
that the second marriage was invalid,
the husband being a bigamist, and Mrs.
Aging found herself deprived both Of
husband and Of property. She has
now applied to the court for restitu-
ton of the property which her husband
left her ''fOr life or widOwhood. ~ Thd
case is complicated by the fact that one
OF the sons has disposed Of his share;
and altogether there is the prospect oi
some right profitable work for the lsvr.

NERVOUS COUGH.
An Addiction Whose True Nature Is Not
Universally Understood.

Universally Understood.
One may have hard, dry and vio-
lent cough, and yet the lungs, bronchial
tubes and larynx be in a perfectly nor
NAL condition.
Says Flint: "In most of the cases of
this kind which l have seen, the cough
has peculiar barking tone, and the
pitch has been low, showing that the
glottis was dilated at the instant of
coughing. In some cases, however,
the tone is shrill and the quality Of the
sound croupal, showing spasm of the
CLOTHS, In a case recently under OBJ
servation, the cough consisted of a
single, short, hoarse bark, often repeat
ed several times a minute. 1t is some
times in paroxysms, having a resem-
blance to those of whooping cough.
The peculiar sound of the cough, to-
gether with its frequent recurrence, and
sometimes its violence, renders it dis
tressing to those whose sympathies are
excited, and annoying to others"
1t is mostly confined to females of
hysterical tendencies. 1t may be in
duced by involuntary irritation. A
school for girls was once broken up by
it. The slightest change of tempera-
ture excite it, as do also penetrating
Odors. 1t is constantly attended by
Sneezing and shutting.
Shadewald, who has recently given it
special attention, found it could be pro-
duced by gently touching certain point
within the nostrils. This point is the
termination of one of the filaments of
the trigeminal Cor trifaciaD nerve, and
1t is to its irritation that Shadewald re-
CARDS this cough as due. Hence he
calls it the tragenai'lGt cough
1t bears a striking resemblance 10
nervous asthma, and the latter is now
thought to be the most pronounced form
of trigeminal cough, with its seat within
the nostrils Ramifications of the trige-
minial 90 to the pharvnx (the back part
of the mouth), and also to portion of
the ear, and hence this cough may some
times be due to trigeminal irritation in
these parts, but it is most frequently
met with from irritation Of the nerve
within the nOstrils.
OF course no treatment directed to the
throat or lungs will be of any avail,
and its persistence against all ordinary
remedies may cause the gravest fears.
But the peculiar barking tone of the
: cough and a certain nervous character
of the patient may suggest its real ma
ture. The medical attendant should at
once suspect its trigeminal origin, if he
fails to find any organic explanation of
it. All treatment should be directed to
: the nasal nerve, and the main object
should be to lessen its undue excita-
bility.
Galvanism is warmly recommended.
Cauterization is often effectual, and so,
for time is a slight bleeding of the
parts. The copious secretion to which
iodide of potassium, administered in
ternally, gives rise is helpful, by wash
ing out the irritating particles. In
lighter cases, this and the inhaling of
vapor are often sufficient - Youth

One Of the most important departments
Of . railroad is that which has charge of
the advertising. Railroad advertising has
become a science, especially here in Chi
cago, and you can wager your uttermost
farthing that the printers and hthOgra-
piers are doing their best to make the
roads think their salvation depends on il.
Rival roads running through the same
territory or between the same points find
it necessary to tempt travellers over their
lines by means Of multiplied advertising,
from the plain folder" costing q cent or
two to the extensively gOtteu up guide
books costing several dollars. Then there
are thousand varieties Of printing, such
q Autographed card-boards tackled
against walls and fences or framed and
placed In hotels, theatres, or depots.
The fashion in these is as capricious as
. woman's fancy, and the continual ri
valry inspires frequent changes, each one
necessitating = large outlay Of money.
The simple folders" are large item, the
changes Of time, etc, causing frequent
issues. Each season Of the year brings .
change in the advertising Of railroads.
The advertising agent Is, generally live
business man, keen and alert, quick to
seize passing event or prominent per-
sonage and utilize them to the credit Of
his road. He is continually watching
public events and popular fancies, that
he may take advantage Of the same in his
work. The methods Of agents differ, but
the general principle is the same|l e.,
