Bone SPAWN in Horses.

Bone SPAWN in horses is a disease of the
small bones in the lower and inner part
of the hook Joint. The lameness which
is usually present is shown in the stiffness
of the joint, and the animal is inclined to
tread, as it were, on the toe, and usually
rests on the toe. Bag SPAWN is mainly
an inilam alton Of the hook JOINT, and
may be caused by sprains, rheumatism,
or bruise. A p fly swelling of the joint
usually accompanies bag SPAWN, with
much heat and tenderness of the part
Affected. The treatment and remedies
Of both are very similar The animal
should rest and a high-heeled shoe be
nailed on as soon as the SPAWN is dis
covered. The joint should then be bathed
freely with cold water in warm weather,
but in winter warm is preferable, and as
soon as the Inflammation subsidies counter
irritants may he applied, then after a few
days apply a blister In young animals a
cure is usually effected, but in old ones,
especially those Of rheumatic constitu-
ton, both forms of SPAWN are very OBJ
stinate and sometimes incurable Mo-

Stretches in Sheen.

quently, and rises again in few min.
utes and gives evidence of being in con-
stant pain. Unless something is done
to relieve the sufferer, sheep when
once attacked will seldom recover.
There is in all cases of this kind ten.
dency to intussusception of some of the
small intestines, that is, one part of the
intestlnes is drawn into another in the
same manner that the finger of glove
sometimes is when drawn from the hand.
When this occurs the outer intestines
contracts or shuts down upon the part
within, producing Inflammation. This
causes intense pain and stoppage. The
simplest and surest remedy we have ever
seen applied is for strong man to seize
the sheep by the hind legs above the
hook, raise it as high as possible by ele-
waiting the hands, holding the animal in
such position as to bring its back next
to the operator. Keep the sufferer in
this position, head downward, few
minutes, and churn it up aud down
slightly, using care to keep its head from
touching the ground. When the animal
is given its liberty it will in most cases
run Off and ioin its companion as though
nothing had ever allied 1t. The philoso.
ply of this treatment is that the intus-
suscepted intestine is brought back to
Its natural position. Nature evidently

oaken box with an open glass face. Its
position is such as to be in full view of
all the passengers In the car. AS the
different streets are approached narrow
sheets of paper, upon which their various
names are conspicuously inscribed, au-
tomatically unfold and drop into view
under the glass and indicate the next
street A sharp click calls it TO ones
attention, as do also the words "the next
street is" over the inscribed name.
The automatic change of names is ac-
complished by an elevation of a few
inches Of tho iron slot in which the grip
fits. occurring few feet beyond each
street, and as the car passes a slender
iron rod extending beneath the car rises
and falls, which, connecting with the
mechanism in the box, causes the roll of
paper to unfold just far enough to reveal
the name of the next street. The inven-
ton is designed to save the vast quanti-

PROFESSIONS of Slaves i'm Africa.

One of the saddest sight seen any
where is common spectacle on some
of the large tributaries of the Congo.
The Bangala and few other large tribes
along the Congo have great de-
mand for slaves to be killed as sacrifices
upon the death of important persons, or
to be used to furnish forth their canni-
bal feasts. Unless they are at war the
supply of slaves often runs short, aud
they send expeditions up the Lulongo,
the Tchuapa, and other rivers, to buy
victims for their ceremonies. Another
reason why they seek the slave markets
along the Congo tributaries is that, as
rule, the further they 90 from the main
river the cheaper they can buy slaves.
So it is no uncommon sight for ex-
plorers, ascending the tributaries, to
meet professions of Congo canoes laden
with slaves, usually male adults, going
to their own funerals, and often bound
hand and foot.
They understand full we'll the cruel
fate from which there is no escape.
The richer or more important the family
which has lost one of its members, the
more II merous must be the victims
who follow him to the grave. This is
one of Africa's great cruelties which the
Congo State Government is suppressing
wherever its authority is sufficiently es-
tablished to combat the ancient evil. -

they will eat il also as a remedy, which

To make a success Of farming, a young
man must start out in small way. His
chances are then as good as the boys
fifty years ago had, but he must not ex.
| pect to make fortune in short time.
Most of our best seedsmen test THEFT
seeds before selling them, and know
what they are selling; but they cannot
be expected to warrant good seed in the
hands of careless or inexperienced gar
deners.
An inferior queen that has mated with
a vigorous, well fed and healthy drone
will give decidedly better results than
had the cross been vice versa. More
good queens are ruined at mating time
than we are aware Of.
Professor Maynard is quoted as saying
that birds do more good than harm to
the farmer and orchardist, and that
more trees should be planted that they
may have due share of the fruit and
leave some for the grower
There are enough horses killed every
year on bad roads, and enough damage
to wagons and harness and the tempers
of drivers to make our roads very much
better than they are if the cost Of these
damages was put upon them.
Professor Galloway, of the Agricul-

The young man who thinks to buy
vineyard and make an easy fortune will
find himself mistaken. He may take as
a basis for his estimates what others have
done, and his figuring may be right, but
his calculations are all wrong. Those
who have done well as vineyardists have
understood their business and attended
to it. 1t is delightful occupation, but
demands hard work aud careful atten.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Fruit trees or plants will not take care
of themselves.
Annual pruning will largely avoid the
taking of of large limbs from the trees.
Our best honey-yielding flowers are
decidedly modest in color and appear
ance.
The verdict of honeymen is that kegs
for honey should not be burned out by
the cooper.
When you have to buy seeds, as every
one must buy of men of established
reputation.
Have everything ready early, and get
all in readiness when it can be done with
the least outlay of valuable time.
One advantage with good drainage is
that the fruits will usually come to
maturity earlier than on undrained land.
Water is necessary for bees when rear.
ing brood, for diluting the honey, or
when liquefying it after being granu-
lated.
In Missouri, elevated, nearly cleared
land is best adapted TO peach growing.
Twenty feet is about the right distance
for planting.
The greatest injury any farmer has
ever done 10 his soil is where he has
starved the crop and soil by not using
enough fertilizer.
The best remedy for black knot is
good soil and good tillage with care
taken TO cut off and burn each knot as
soon as possible after its appearance
Farming comp res very favorably with
other branches of business. One can do
any amount of hard work in it. The
more one does intelligently the better he
will succeed.
In trying a novelty the prudent farmer
will not plant largely till he has proved
the merits of the new article and it's
adaptibility TO his soil and climate, by
trial in a small way.
If you did not mulch the strawberries
last fall, now IS a good time 10 do it, be-
fore the thawing and freezing of spring
