BLINDNESS IN HORSES.

Neglect and carclessness make more
blind horses than any other two things,
writes ID. Atkinson, NJ. d., in the Wash
ington !Star, and many u valuable horse
has been irrctricvably injured by the
owner or his servant. The blinds or
blinkcrs on the bride frequently induce
blindness, or cause serious injuries to the
eyes. If not properly adjusted they ag-
gravatc the horse, and in time causes seri-
Gus trouble. Some advocate the use of
open brides, but if proper blinkcrs arc
used, and used as they ought to be, there
Is no danger of eye trouble being caused
by them. Damp, dark stables are other
, causes of defective cycsight in our ami
nal friends, which very few ever think
about. When snow is on the ground in
- the winter many horses have serious
shock given to their eyes II they are
taken from the dark stables right out into
1.-The open light. A severe pain will shoot
into both eyes until the animal gets ac-
customcd to the light, and II this practice
is persisted in the horses cyesight will
become seriously Impaired. Dampness
also affects the eyes, and stables should
be guarded against this. Plenty of light.
and fresh, pure air should be allowed to
come into the stables ut all hours of the
day, and the general health of the animal,
as well rs his eyes, will be kept good.

SEED CLOVER.

Seed clover is, year after year, ono of
the most profitable crops of the farm,
where the conditions are favorable to is
growth. The crop Of the country is
never so large as to glut the market
The man who has to buy clover seed in
the spring invariably pays what seems
like Il stiff price. Not nfrcqucntly the
seed clover brings more than the first
crop cut for hay.
One reason (pcrhaps the principal
onc) why the crop Of seed clover is So
small, is that, as usually handled, it is
most disagrccablc. Generally it is moved
away, rs it is not thought possible to
keep it in stacks; and the wheat can he
thrcshcd out of the mows by the time
the seed clover is cut. There arc few
more disagrccablc jobs than huling
clover i'll the bar. The dust is sitting.
Men who suffer little Inconvenience In
thrcshing grain under cover, find that
their lungs and throats will not endure
the dust in the barn where clover is
hullcd. Besides, every corner Of the
barn is foulcd. 1t is impossible to keep
the dust within bounds.
This objection is obviatcd when the
clover is stored in barracks, where it may
be kept rs well rs in n NOV. The bar
rack is simply roof with the sides opcn.
Seed clover may also be kept in good
condition in stacks topped with timothy

PROTECTION FOR SORE SHOULDERS.

Cotton cloth well smcarcd with pure
tallow, wrapped around the collar, Is un-
doubtcdly an excellent preventive of sore
shoulders, but to oil tho collar inside
often enough to keep it soft is equally SO,
and is much more quickly and easily
done. BE careful at the same time to
keep the collar perfectly clear of any hard
substance sticking to it, and sec that the
collar fits nicely to the shoulders, and that
it docs so without being either too tight
or too loose. When the horse is brought
into the stable aftcl being worked, if the
least sweaty the collar should not be re-
moved till his hair is well dried under it.
Some persons, when their horses are kept
regularly at work, let them wear their
collars all the tmc-by night as well rs
by day. They say this keeps their skin
tough, and it is not nearly SO likely to
become CALLED.

POULTRY NOTES,

1t has been generally advised to keep
only pullets or ycar-old fowls for laying,
but l have learned that three and four
year old fowls will lay rs many eggs in n
year as younger ones. 1t has also been
thought for many years that broken oys-
ter and clam shells, II not necessary, were
beneficial to fowls whether laying or not,
and-some professional poultry keepers
to the contrary-I think they are, for my
fowls when let out go for tho pile of
shells and cat them rs they would corn,
and think II the shells were not of some
service to them they would not do that,
and also think they arc good substitutes
for sharp gravel, which cannot always be
got as easily as hells.--Countrv Gentle

II is estimated that the life of humanity
has gained twenty-five per cent. all the
world over in the last fifty years. Tho
lowest average that has been calculated is
twcnty-thrcc years which represents the
life expectancy of the Soudancsc; but
even this is high when it is remembered
that i'll Geneva in the thirteenth century
fourteen years were all that were allotted
TO man. The United States census of
1850 shows that 7.47 per cent. of the per-
sons who died in the previous decade
were more than seventy years of age; in
1880 the percentage was 7.54, and i'm
1880, it was 10.35. The deaths of
adults have diminished in a continuous
ratio, so that the proportion of infant,
victims to the whole number Of deaths is
constantly on the increase. In 1850,
1920 per cent. G the whole number of
deaths were of children less than one
year old; in 1860 the percentage was
2o.74; in 1880 it was 1924. These
figures in themselves show the increasing
triumph of medicine over death, since

A Ellnting.ISlnnd Wonder.

Situated high up in the main Rocky
Mountain divide, in the easteyn part of
Idaho, just south of the bolthdary line
between that Territory and Montana,
and few miles west of the Yellowstone
National Park, is Henry LaEb, beau
tiful sheet of crystal water, having an
area of about forty square miles. The
contour of the lake is oval, and the
wooded banks bear a luxurisnt growth
of mountain grass. CASUAL ex-
animation there appears to be no outlet
to this lake, but closer observation re-
veals small creek issuing from tho
southwest side, which is the beginning
of the north fork of that mighty artery
of the Northwest, Snake River. On
this lake, sometimes on tho north sido
and sometimes to the southwark, or
wherever the breeZes chance to bear
1t, is curious floating island. 1t is
about 800 feet in diameter and has for
its basis mat of roots, so dense rs to
support large trees and heavy thicket
Of underground. Decaycd vegetation
adds to the thickness of tho mat, and
forms mold several feet in thickness.
On the edge of the floating forest, in
summer time, may be seen luxuriant
growth of bluejoint grass, the roots Of
which form SO compact n mass as to
support the weight of horse. Any
number of men have no difficulty in
walking about on it. Farther back
among the trees ono might build n

just as solid and safe rs though there
were not 100 or 200 feet of water be-
meath. There is n willow thicket near
the center of tho island, and scattered
among these willows and contiguous to
them are number of aspens and
dwarf pines. These catch the breezes
which float over the island and act like
sails on boat, and movo the nearly
two acres of land hither and thither
over the forty square miles of water.
This shows why one may one day SEQ
the island on one side and the next on
the other side of the lake. Henry Lake
is exceedingly picturesque. Around it
rise snow-cappei peaks, among which
are some of tho highest of the conti-
nent's backbone, partly covered with
verduc of forest and grass, and show
ing here and there formations of granite
and unique basnltic columns. During
the hunting season the waters swarm
with wild fowl. There arc beaver,
toe, and plenty of largo game may be
had in the adjoining mountains. Vest
