The Good Natured PercherOns.

At Savage IL Farnum's Island Home
Stock Farm. Crosse Isle, Wayne Co.,
Mich, there is an instance of the doclity
and kindness of the Pcrcheron stallion,
a trait in which this remarkable breed
Of horses excels all others. Their Per-
cheron stallion, Pluviose, and a little
shetland pony stallion, Tom Thumb, live
in the same box stall, and one of the
most amusing of the many pleasing sights
that one witnesses during days inspec-
tion Of this famous stud is to watch the
capers and antics of these two stations.
Pluviose weighs about 1850 pounds and
Tom Thumb about $50 pounds, and they
will play and roll in the straw and nip
each other for hours ut time like II
couple of puppies, the big fellow being
always very careful not to hurt the little
one Once in while the Shetland will
lose his temper and ego" for Tiuviose
quite lively, but the sensible Percheron
will stand and look at him with an en-
preston as near to n laugh on his face rs
it is possible for horse to have, and
when the little runt tires himself out
with his hard play lie will II down on
the straw in the middle of the stall and
20 to sleep, and Pluvlosc will move as
carefully about the stall to avoid injur.
ing him as mare would if it were her
foal. .-Amcrican AgricultITist.

4 Cancer Which Eats Bcefsieak

Mrs. William Galloway, who lives in
Trempealeau County, Wis, some years
ago was attacked with q cancer. 1t in
creased in size and the physicians said
nothing could be done to help her. But
some one made the discovery that it was
"beefsteak" cancer. and prescribed
beetsteak as a remedy. ever Il year ago
it was thought she would not live from
one day till the nest. The beefsteak was
applied and it was found that every
twenty-four hours the cancer would eat
seven pounds of beefsteak- When tuken
from the cancer there is nothing left of
the beef but the tissue and tough parts
of it. and every particle OF moisture will
lie drawn out, the remainder being as
porous rs sponge. Mrs. Galloway is no
worse than she was ayCar ago, the cancer
living on the beef instead of her. st.

no recurrence of rheumatic pains since h,s re. .
