For the Eagle.

There are two orbs which they who sea possess.
Though small they have great and subtle power
And differ like their owners. Tenderness
Shines forth from these, while those with anger
lower.
And they can change with Wcndrous suddenness.
And may be soft, keen, languid, in an hour
At times they lose their self control: distress
Will force hard eyes to weep adewy flower
Can MAKE dim eye bright a glance can cover
A guilty wheip. A sighlng swain can press
His SUIT by looks alone. Oft the sole dover
OF q plain face is its eyes loneliness.
The pioneer, when difficulties tower
Before him in the distant wilderness.
Cheers up at thought OF the bright eyes at home.
The mariner, while on the Surging sea.
Is often with such ardent longing filled
To see some Nancy's eyes. he scarce can wait
Till his proud ship shall reach the harbors gate
And he by that fond, luminous glance be thrilled
~ 18th poets they fayorite theme Will be,
As they have been, as long rs poets write.
They are the worlds most influential light:

Topeka will have to make out with
the sold death trap that spans the Kaw
awhile longer. The people didn't object
so much to new bridge, perhaps, as to
increasing their load by $250,0OO. That
is an uncomfortable amount, to be sure,
but the capital city remembered that a
single feather overloaded the camel.

was that the negroes in large numbers

On the right, as you enter the main
door, the bays extend down to the

way the sheep are kept. Under the
bridge each end is open, to give the
sheep plenty of light and air, and in

The pupil of a horses eye is enlarged
by being kept in dark stable; he has a
harness put on him and is suddenly
brought out into glaring sunlight, which
contracts the pupil SO suddenly as tc
cause extreme pain. By persevering in
this very foolish and injudicicus, as well
as cruel, practice, the nerve of the eye
becomes impaired, and if continued long
enough loss of sight will ensue. To see
how painful it is to face bright light
after having been in the dark, take a
walk some dark night for short time
till the eyes become used to the darkness,
then drop suddenly into some well light
ed room, and you will scarcely be able to
see few moments in the sudden light.
You know how painful it is to yourself,
then why have your horses repeatedly
bear such unnecessary pain? asks Field
and Farm.

Mr.. Eddy, in New England Home
stead, tells of a method of breaking bulls
that is both practical and economical.
He takes the animal at any age and puts
on the same harness that he would use
on horse, turning the collar the oppo-
site side up, and bitches him into a two
wheeled cart in some large field where
there are no trees. He then gets in for a
ride, letting Mr.. Bull go where he wants
to- When the bull begins to tire he con-
tinues to drive him until he is thoroughly
conquered. After the first trial he has
no difficulty in working him. But he
always keeps rope attached to the ring
in the nose so that the animal cannot
run away. Mr.. Eddy has a 4-year-old
Holstein bull that has drawn all the
manure on the farm the last year, and
now does all the work, such as drawing
corn fodder for twenty-one COWS every
day and earth for the stable. He saws
that considerable care should be taken
not to overload the animal for the first
few weeks, for if once balky he will
make trouble.

food. No time ought to be lost In at
tending to the animal who exhibits any
sign of lameness, however slight.
The remedies for foot rot are very
varied, and there are dozens of agents
either alone or in the combination, thai
are Wanted as cures, and no doubt cor
rectly SO. The selection Of a remedy is
not SO difficult as to get it properly ap
piled. They resolve themselves into two
classes. astringents and caustics, and
generally too free use is made of the lat
ter as well as of the pairing knife. 1t is
most essential that diseased structure.
such as loose horn, should be cut away.
and also that free vent should be given
to pus, but no more of the sensitive
structure of the foot should be exposed
than is absolutely necessary, because
there are sure to be fungus growths
springing from parts denuded of horn,
and the free use of the knife thus gives
rise to the necessity for the free use of
caustics or the actual cautery.
Removal to higher, dryer and barer
pasture is most useful step. or, if this
is not practicable, the worst cases should
be put on dry straw in sheds or yards.
In some instances a poultice, either of
bran or boiled mashed turnips or carrots,
proves most useful. Taken all round"
says leading English veterinary sur
geon, "there is no better remedy than
sulphate Of copper-common blue stone
or blue vitrior-and most dressings are
largely composed of this agent. In mild
cases a saturated solution of the sulphates
of copper and zinc poured into the af-
fected parts is most efficient. Equal
parts of butyr of anthony and COM
pound tincture of myrrh also make a
good dressing when applied with feath-
er or brush to the diseased parts. In &C.
we're cases the strong mineral acids &re
Used, especially the nitric, with quick
silver dissolved in it.
On farms where the disease is prevl-
lent the sheep are periodically driven
through shallow troughs containing a
solution of arsenic and soda, and if the
feet are carefully pared and the atten-
ton is constant, this is one of the best
methods of prevention yet devised; but
where the disease is already established
the individual method of treatment Of
fers the best prospect of success. We
may sum up the treatment thus: Get
the sheep under shelter or in dry pas
ture. Pare the feet judiciousiy and
apply a liquid dressing varying in
with the progress the disease
has made and the necessity for remov-
ing fungus granulation. Follow this up
by using an ointment every day COM
posed of one part boric acid and seven
parts of lard, and adopt every possible
means for keeping the feet clean and
dry, which is very much more easily
said than done.

Tanning Cow Hides.

1t often occurs that farmers desire to
tan COW hides for ropes, chair bottoms
or home made foot wear. For the con-
venience of these farmers is appended a
formula for tanning skins in a small
way:
To remove the hair, take one quart of
quicklime to every pailful of water nee
essary to make clear liquid enough to
cover the hide. Soak the skin in it until
the hair can be scraped off, and no
longer. When the hair has been re-
moved scrape off clean all the flesh from
the flesh side of the skin. Then sprinkle
the flesh side thoroughly with fine salt
and powdered alum, and fold it together,
or soak the hide in solution of salt and
alum for twenty-four hours, or until it
is sufficiently cured. The salt and alum
taws or cures the hide, but does not tan
it. Next hang on smooth beam, work.
pull and scrape it until dry. The more
it is worked, the more pliable it will be.
If the hide is dry one it should be
soaked soft before it is put in the lime
water. Tanning skins is a trade to be
learned, and in it, as in everything else
that requires special knowledge and ex-
perience, to turn out neat job, the adj
vice is therefore given, to have the tan
ming done, when practicable, by those
who understand it.

The ventilation is in the center, and is
indicated in the cut by the dark spot
The roosts arS placed close to the venti-
lation, with tight floor just below,
slanted toward the ventilator, which is
large enough at the bottom to hold the
droppings. These can then be taken out
at the feed room by placing box of
convenient size under the ventilator.
They can be removed without handling.
Doors are placed just outside the roosts,
to permit one to pass around through
the different apartments. A building of
this size ami shape contains about S6S
square feet Of space, while one built in
the ordinary shape, say 2Ox36, contains
720 feet-a difference of 14S square feet,
while the outside walls have the same
area. A small window in each pen will
be sufficient, by having the partitions
made partly of wire netting, according
to Ohio Farmer, for which the plan was
first drawn and described.

The HomeStake Tunnel Case.

BUTTE, Oct. 25.-Judge DeWolfe will
convene the district court in Butte on
Monday in obedience to an order of the
supreme court in order to listen to the
contested election case. The court yes
terday afternoon issued writ of mandate
against the canvassing board command
ing them to count the vote of the Tunnel
precinct in the case of John j. McShatton
candidate for district judge. This writ
was served on Messrs. Vim. Z. Hall, and
Caleb Z. Ervine and was made returnable
at 10 o'clock on Monday morning. 1t is
also stated that similar steps will be Ia
ken in the case of the other county Off
GERS, but up to this afternoon no contests
have been filed. This action has been
taken in order to render a separation OF
cases of county officers and members OF
the legislature possible. There is un
doubtedly difference in the standing OF
the two sets of officers in the court and
the contests are to be filed in order tt
separate them if necessary.
