Tinto not only said what he was taught but he
would initiate many sounds he heard. He could
whistle to the dogs he saw, and they would run
all about to find their masters. He tried to crow
like the old rooster in his MASTER yard; but this
was almost the only thing he could not do.
Unto was a very noisy bird. He used to
scream very loud, and chatter, as though he were
laughing. He seemed to take an interest in every
thing that was going on near the ferry.
One clay he played a sad trick upon poor
horse. Dobbin was a good horse, and always
obeyed his driver. He used to draw loads,
brought across the river in the boats, up to the
town. When Dobbin's master went to dinner, he
used to leave his team by the ferry house.
The wagon was backed down the gangway
ready to take in load Unto saw the horse
every day, and heard what was said to Dobbin.
| don't know whether the parrot meant to be
naughty or not but he cried out, as loud as he
could, "Back up, Dobbn! Back up Dobbin!
Back up, STRIP
Dobbin had backed down the gangway hundreds
OF times before when he heard the order. He did
SO this time. Unto kept saying the same words,
and Dobbin kept backing. He backed the wagon
off the gangway, and then went over into the
river himself.
boy saw all this, and called Dobbin's master
After some hard work, the poor horse and the
wagon were taken out of the water. Tinto was
kept in the attic month for this trick Perhaps
he wished he had done nothing but the advertis-
ing busness.-[ Ruth Argyle, in Our Little Ones.

Salt a Farm Necessity.

Common salt is necessity for all our
domestic animals. 1t prevents as we'll
as remedies many disorders of the diges-
tive organs; and IN young stock it pre-
vents the accumulation of worms in the
intestinal canal. When not used to free
access to common salt at all times from
eolthood, horses are apt to partake too
freely of the same, and the thirst thereby
created causes them to drink so freely Of
water as to produce diarrhpa. Salt the
animal must have, and we have always
advocated its continual presence where
they could have access 10 it at all times,
instead Of mixing it among their food,
or giving 1t at certain or uncertain in
teryals, and perhaps in insufficient guam
tity. If common salt in grain or pow
dered condition is partaken of too
greedily, mmp-salt, OF so-called rock
salt, should be procured. A lump Of
rock-salt should be in every manger and
box upon the farm This the master
must continually see to; it is a screw
that is continually flying from the hired
mans inclination or memory. Some
don't like it; some won't recollect.
They will object If you scatter salt upon
damp hay, should you be so unlucky as
TO have been caught by the rain: al
though they see their horses positively
enjoy the apparently mouldy hay which
had been so doctored; and you would
utterly fail if you were to attempt TO
persuade them that, for lick Of salt the
cattle will gallop by water on the burn
ing wastes Of Africa. A teaspoonful
of bicarbonate of soda, or a teaspoonful
of flowers of sulphur, may be mixed
among the food of each horse morning
and evening during a week, and if nee.
essary be repeated after a weeks inter
val. Prevent access Of poultry TO the
stable, if they are lousy, and let no
poultry adjoin the stable.-Frairte

Hereditary Inebriety.

In the International Congress of Anthro-

the papers read was one contributed by DR..
Norman Kerr, of London, President Of the
Society for the Study of Inebriety, upon
hereditary inebriety The paper which was
read by DIR. Lewis D. Mason, Of Brooklyn,
awakened much interest Heredity, it was
affirmed, was the most potent cause of those
leading to inc riety Fully one-half of
inebriates," says DR.. Kerr ''have had this
fatal inheritance handed to them Again he
says: "A morbid state of organ or tissue may
descend Thus, the first child of iRebriate
aren,s may lie an idiot, the second an epilep-
tic. the third a neurotic, and fourth an inc
briate. The heredities are so powerful that
the health history of inebriates should be
carefully traced, so that proper allowance
could be made for the physical inability un-
der which many suffer- The lesson of this
paper emphasizes very strongly the wisdom
and duty Of total abstinence, especially for

Care of Work Horses.

A Canadian farmer says it is foolishly
cruel to make horse work in dust and
hot sun for hours without water In
summer give water at least five times a
day. II the horse is warm make him
drink slowly. Give him all the water
he wants before meals, none after; he
Will want none if his food is moistened.
Money is made by giving water of an
agreeable temperature, winter or sum.
mer. II the horse has been hard at
work give no water until he has rested
fifteen minutes, nor food for thirty min
utes. Drive slowly the first hour after
meal. Allow the horse to roll on dry
earth or sawdust once day at least.
The evening is the best time Then at
once groom him thoroughly and outside
the stable Thorough grooming cleanses
the hide as well as the hair. A dry
shampoo is best for a horse. Better use
elbow grease than water. Bed literally.
The best horses are in dry, elevated
regions. Pureness and dryness of air in
the stables are secured BY an elevated
site with the drains under the walls of
the bank -barns); keeping manure
cleaned up and by having the barn con-
nected with cupolas by ventilating
shafts. Fairly good ventilation is sc,
cured by holes under the eyes. Have

To Irrigate n Desert.

The government proposes to reclaim a
portion Of the unproductive lands west
of the one hundredth meridian, by sys-
tenn of dams and artiiciallak fromwhich
large portions of this are can be irri-
gated. Not only will lands be reclaimed,
but the storage Of this water will prob
ably do something to prevent the floods,
which pour down the alluents of the
great rivers that thread our Western
plains. Congress has been appealed to.
and something may be done before long.
The area included is of one million three
hundred thousand square miles, and it
is proposed by Major Powell to procure
from Congress two hundred and City
thousand dollars with which to begin
the preliminary work of selecting the
bites for dams, reservoirs and canals, as
certainiDg the amount of water suscept-
ibe of storage and the loss by evapora.
tion, and estimating the value of lands
to be reclaimed and of the crops which
they would produce. OF the whole area
of one million three hundred thousand
square miles, it is thought that at least
one-elght could be made absolutely pro-
ductive and immensely valuable The
ram fall in this large region varies from
i've inches in the driest plains to thirty
inches on the mountains, and even to
seventy-iive or one hundred; and it is
thought that the average rain fall of the
region to be reclaimed is from fifteen TO
twenty inches year. The canyons which
1t is proposed to dam are deep and mar
row clefts in the rock, and can be easily
used as artificial reservoirs. There is a
good deal Of hopefulness about this
scheme, but it will take several years to
bring it into actual realization and cost
much money. .-American Agriculturist.

PIows and Flowing.

Professor Sanborn, last year, at the
University of Missouri, made various ex-
periments with plows aud in plowing.
A summary Of the conclusions as ar.
rived at, is given as follows by the Farm,
Field dRd St0ckmaa.
A detection Of the traces when under
draft from a straight line from shoulder
TO doubletree, results in q decided loss
OF power, and such loss is applied to the
calling and worrying Of the horse.
The use of truck or a little wheel
under the end of the plow beam gained
IA per cent Of the draft as an average
Of the trials made, aud in addition gave
a more uniform furroW and relieved the
plowman. This saving can be made only
when the line of draft is right.
The use Of the coulter, was, without

exception, attended with decided los
Of force or increased draft by whatevo
form of coulter used, but was less Will
the new style coulter than with the roll
ing and old.fashioned coulter. Tht
average gain Of draft by dispensing with
the coulter was 1916 per cent. The
coulter invariably disturbed the line OF
draft, resulting in a furrow of different
dimensions from those formed without
it.
The draft Of plow decreases as depth
Of furrow increases, until it reaches the
plow's normal capacity, and then in
! Creases as the depth is increased beyond
this capacity of the plow. This law is
modified by the fact that as furrow in
creases in size the ratio of cutting face
or edge of plow to the furrow turned
decreases.
The draft of q plow decreases as width
of furrow increases, until the normal
capacity of the plow is reached, after
which it increases again under the same
limitations as in previous cases of depth,
yet it does not increase in as rapid a
ratio as is seen in case of depth. The
absolute draft in a fifteen inch furrow
was less than ten-inch furrow. The
discord of these results with those pre-
viously found by others has several pos
sible explanations, one of which may
possibly be the influence of plow i'm
provement.
The necessity of intelligently adjust
ing the furrow 10 the normal capacity of
the plow, or using only plows that will
be normal to the furrow turned was
made apparent. The loss in draft from
furrow varying from the plow's nor.
NAL capacity by two points only, was for
an average of all trials Of varying widths
and depths, 81 Ier cent. From the
standpoint of draft it is poor economy
to turn small furrow. Three horses
are better than two in plowing.
II one adds the savings from the three
factors discussed truck, coulters and
width and depth. one gets 49.7 per
cent. or plow with truck on, coulter
OF, and plow good-sized furrow, will
give this per cent. Of gain when put

row; or rather the latter would draw
49.1 per cent. harder than the former, if |
the professors data are correct. A seven
by fourteen inch furrow requires about
three horse power to turn it. Those |
who use two horses either turn a small, |
costly furrow or overdraw their horses

size is not normal to the plow, is usually, |

FARM AND GARDEN.
Sheen aud Cows et Pasture.


A floating paragraph in the agricul-
tural columns of certain papers say that
sheep and cows may be proitably pas
tured together. The sheep bite closer,
while the cows require large growth to
get comfortable mouthful The old
farmer smiles at the idea. Instead of
the sheep leaving the longer herbagc for
the cows, their trampling soils it so that
cattle have to be starved into eating it.
Only very few sheep are needed when
pastured with cows to soon make the
pasture nearly as bare rs the centre of
the highway. Sheep will, when pas
tured closely on clover or timothy, de-
stroy these plants by eating down to the
roots, and If necessary, part of the roots
themselves. Neither sheep nor horses
should be pasturod with cows unless the
latter have pretty full rations of soiled
crops and grain, and are only turned
into the pasture for exercise. .-Ameriun

Liquor Traffic Forcibiy Condemned

l. That among the inalienable rights of

dependence, are life, liberty. and the nnrsnit
OF happiness; and since It is beyond contro-
yersy that the traffic in intoxicants as a
beverage, destroys life liberty and happi-
ness, 1T subverts personal liberty and inalien.
able rights, and ought, therefore, to be fore
ever prohibited.
p 1t being admitted that the said LIQUOR
traffic is evil and only evil in its tendency
land no right-thinlling and candid man. be
he saint or sinner, will deny the fact, to Ii
cense such traffic, then. whether the license
Zee be high or low, must be wrong; it is, in
fact, a crime and disgrace to the boasted
civilization of the nineteenth century To
license it, is to make lawful that which God
has made unlawful
3. That the manufacture of, and the deal
ing in, or in any manner favoring such deal
ing, as also the use as a beverage of in
toxicating liquors, is inconsistent with the
Christian character, and those who thus dis
honor their Christian profession deserve, and
should receive Church discipline.
:. That no man can be Indifferent to the
misery, grief and want cansed by said traffic
without great sin; just as no man who wit
nesses approaching disaster to a community
is guiltless if he could give, and fails to give,
timely warning and relief.
D. That we, as Church stand, now as
heretofore, squarely and unmistakably on
this great quest on, and hereby pledge our
selves to vote for and to aid every enter
prise that in any way looks TO the overthrow
of this accursed traffic. now licensed and
protected by the laws of most of the States.
