Heavy Horns for Bulls.

Breeders generally agree in condemn
ing "heifer heads" on bulls intended for
stock purposes, but, says Breeders Ga
zette, few seem to have the courage to
pay a sufficient amount of attention to
the horn as indicative of constitution and
vigor. A prominent southwest Kansas
rangeman who recently asked well
known western breeder what kind Of
heads his pedigreed cattle possess, re-
ceived for a reply an admission" that
the horns of his cattle, and especially of
his bulls, were in many instances stronger
than seemed to suit the prevailing fancy.
To the surprise of the breeder (who was
about to add that his cattle possessed a
thrifty feeding quality, which made
up for their supposed Objectionable
horns) the plainsman remarked: "Well,
sir, it has cost me just SEC, 900 to find out
that the so called nice, neat heads and
horns in beef cattle are delusion and a
snare, and l want to see your herd"
This from a man who had spent the
sum of money named in buying pedi-
greed Short horned bulls from the older
states served to emphasize the fact that
there is point in respect to "refine-
ment" beyond which it is not safe to go,
where cattle intended for actual use on
farm and range are sought to be pro-
duced. If registered cattle are bred
largely for ornamental purposes, we sup
pose one can afford to overlook this i'm
portant point; but in this pre-eminently
utilitarian period of beef cattle breeding
constant regard must be had for the
practical. While an ugly "spike" horn
is never to be preferred to one of more
desirable proportions, there is no gain
saying the fact that the hardest and
most vigorous varieties of cattle are any
thing but feminine as regards conforma-
ton about the head. The often admired
"dish face" in connection with the
"heifer" horn almost invariably denotes
bull badly deficient in vital power.

The Bag Worm.

This insect receives its name from the
peculiar covering the caterpillar spins
for its protection, and which enlarges as
the worm increases in size. 1t is some
times found upon deciduous trees, but
evergreens are its favorites, and it is es-
pecially partial to the arbor vitae, where,
if it is not interfered with, it will destroy
the foliage and kill the plant. Its curious
bag or basket makes it conspicuous OBJ
ject when full grown, and where the
bags abound ON a shrub or hedge they
present singular appearance that inn
mediately attracts attention. The bag
is composed of bits of leaves of the plant
on which the insect feeds, bound togeth-
err in the form of cocoon, inclosing the
worm. except that it thrusts its head out
of the bag when feeding. Within this
bag the female lays her eggs, where they
remain until the following spring. In
their young state and while eating these
pests are easily destroyed by spraying
the shrubs or trees on which they are
feeding with Paris green or london pur-
pie. In the winter the shrubs should be
thoroughly examined. and al, the bas-
kets found hanging to the svtgs gath
cred and burned.

OBSERVATIONS AND EXPERIMENTS
OF WIDESPREAD INTEREST.

The Care Of the Family Horse-Direetions
for Feeding Horses Mt Work and Horses
Mt Rest-The R@Sative Value of Oats.
Corn and Hay.
George A. Martin, in his valuable little
book on 1.-The Family Horse" published
by the Orange Judd company, devotes
one chapter to the all important subject
of feeding the animal. In this attention
is called to the fact that the horse has
relatively the smallest stomach In pro-
portion to its bulk and weight of any do
nestle animal The entire anatomy and
physiology of its digestive apparatus
show that the food of the horse should
be nutritious in quality, supplied often,
and in comparatively small quantities.
The food, of whatever kind, must be OF
good quality, sound and wholesome; but
beyond this no specific rules can be laid
down for general application. The
amount and character of the food must
vary with the size and constitution OF
the horse, the climate and season, and
the amount of work required.
Oats are pre-eminently the grain for
horses. if only one kind of grain is fed.
Oats ought to be at least three months
old before they are fed. Many feeders
now have their oats crushed even for
young horses to insure their being per-
fectly digested. Timothy hay with oats
may be regarded in this country as
standard feed for horses.
Corn, when fed to horses, should be
combined with heterogeneous foods. When
fed in form of fine meal it ought to be
mixed with several times its own bulk
of cut hay or other coarse food. If fed
alone corn meal becomes impacted in
the stomach and causes collie. Wheat
bran is valuable feed for horses either
in form of a warm mush or mixed with
ground oats, corn or barley. Corn fod-
der, if bright and well cured, is better
feed than is generally supposed when cut
up and mixed with heterogeneous mate
rial. Carrots fed, few at time, two
or three times a week, cool the system
and assist digestion, as do parsnips.
The harder the work and the colder
the weather the greater the proportion
of carbohydrates required in the food.
In the stables of one of the street railroads
of Chicago, where thousands Of horses
are kept, the food consists Of ground oats
and corn, with cut hay. The latter is
wet sufficiently to make the meal adhere
to it, and the whole is mixed together.
In warm weather the ground feed con-
sists of two parts of oats and one of corn,
in winter there is one equal proportion
of each. Many advantages are gained
by crushing the grain and cutting the
hay and straw.
Every horse owner should keep on
hand linseed meal or quantity of flax
seed and feed it to the animal whenever
it shows signs of constipation. This has
a large percentage of muscle forming
material and excites soothing effect
upon the stomach.

A Deaf Man That Heard.

The deaf man has just discovered
that riding in a rumbling car robs his
affiiction Of its terrors, and is getting
even with his back biting acquaint
ances who have expressed their opin
ions of him heretofore without re
serve. An eccentric millionaire, who
had no hearing under ordinary cir
cumstances, found this out the other
day at the expense of his lawyer, and
the latter now mourns the loss OF his
most profitable client, while the deaf
man thinks he has learned thing or
two.
The lawyer was sitting in a car talk
ing to a friend when his wealthy
client entered and dropped into the va
cant seat beside his legal adviser.
This old curmudgeon will talk me
deaf, dumb and blind, said the Black
stonian to. his companion, and they
both scowled at Moneybags, who was
looking out of the car window. He
has spent lots of money with me, but
it's worth a mint to yell in his ear
I'm tired of it. He is as deaf as a
post"
Then the deaf man turned around.
"You can send me your bill i'll the
morning." said he, land I'm done
with you"
Lawyer and companion looked at
each other amazed. The lawyer set
about to find how his client recovered
his hearing SO quickly.
at is due to the counteraction OF the
noisy motion Of the drum of the ear,
said the aurist to whom he applied for
information. The rumble of the
heavy wheel on the track causes the
drum to vibrate, and the afflicted one
can hear quite plainly. Some people
think that they voluntarily raise their
voices in a car. That is not so. AL
ways speak in low voice to a deaf
person in a moving car or vehicle. y

A Scientific Puzzla.

The nature of electricity still re-
mains a puzzle to men Of science
as we'll as to the unlearned. We
know it is one form OF molecular mo-
ton and that it passes along rod or
wire in much the same manner that
heat is conveyed along the same con.
ductor. In other words, electricity is
one form of energy and makes itself
visible at work whenever or wherever
is exists. Whenever electricity passes
over a good conductor some form Of
work is performed. no matter how or
in what shape it may be disguised
If simply passed through wire the
work becomes visible as heat.--New
York Telegram.

don't; but everybody likes to get hold of the
newspaper which is never dull and never
afraid TO speak It's mind.
Democrats know that for twenty years THE
Sun has fought in the front line for Demo-
cratic principles. never wavering or weaken
ing in its loyalty TO the true interests of the
party II serves with fearless intelligence and
disinterested vigor. At times opinions have
differed as to the best means OF accomplish
ing the CONN on purpose it is not THE SUNS
fault II IL has seen further into the MILL
stone.
Eighteen hundred and ninety is the year
that will probably determine the result Of
the Presidential election of 1892, and perhaps
the fortunes of the Democracy for the rest OF
the century. Victory iR 1872 Is duty, and
