THE ABUSE or HORSES.
The NobleAt Of tho brute Creation an
Yot Often tho Worst Abused l3y Man.

The NobloAt OF tho brute Creation and
Yet Often tho Worst Abused l3y Man.
One Of the strange things We meet
with In this world is the reckless abuse
OF the horse. Usually q man will be
careful with his own property, cspeci-
ally II it Is Of delicate structure. But
the horse is often stabbed and fed
wholly in the direction Of his injury.
Stables are badly ventilated; many Of
them are not kept oloan. The food in
thousands Of cases is wholly corn and
hay, perhaps bad hay. But corn is the
poorest food in the world for the horse,
which needs strength-good bone and
muscle-and corn does not contain the
elements to make them. Besides that,
corn Is very heating and keeps the
blood too hot. But In the matter Of
work there Is frequently very little
Judgment used in the use of tho horse.
There is something to do, just so much
work, perhaps, which we desire to per-
form in so many hours; and although 1t
may be at the very beginning OF the
spring work when the horse is unused
to great exertion, he is pushed through
the work we have allotted to him, re.
gardless Of its effect upon tho animal.
We have load TO draw. The horse Is
expected to draw it If he can. The
thought of straining tho animal never
occurs to some people.
The results Of such use and manage.
ment are seen upon every side. Horses
become sick from bad stabling and bad
feeding. They become ringboned, for
ringbone, as one writer says, Is often
caused by violent efforts tho animal
makes in obedience to the voice Of the
driver when dragging q heavy load up
some sharp ascent. The entire force is
then thrown upon the bones of the
pastern; Inflammation ensues; lymph is
effused; the lymph becomes cartilage,
and the cartilage Is converted into bone.
Then an exostosis is established and q
ringbone is the consequence.
The disease may implicate one or
more bones; 1t may involve one or more
joints; it may also be confined to one
bone; it may be either partial or com
plete. 1t may exist as slight enlarge
ment in front of tho bone or it may
quite encircle it.
Ringbone does incapacitate tho ami
NAL for many uses, besides interfering
with the free employment of the
muscular energy; no persuasion or bru'
tality can induce manned animal tc
cast its full weight upon diseased
limb. The pace may be quickened by
the lash, but the horse will, neverthe'
less. continue to hop when the affected
member touches the earth.
| Let mankind, therefore, reflect thai
the horse is given as their fellow-la
borer. The life of the quadruped Is the
property of the master; but who, being
sane, would abuse his own property?
The being who should destroy chairs
and tables, although such things can be
mended, would be speedily confined as
mad. Yet it has not entered the minC
of man, as reasonable idea, that to de-
face living image, to destroy the
value or deteriorate the property which
is present in the animal, deserves more
than the very mildest of punishments

SWEET POTATOES.

Some Good Suggestions About Their Gull
tlvation and How To Market.
In selecting seed reject all crooked
and unusually long potatoes, and plant
those showing tendency to become
short and larger in the center, with a
rapid taper towards each end. Place in
apart, drench with water, cover three
inches with earth, then one and a half
inches of sand. When the plants are
four inches above the ground, they are
large enough to pull for sets.
Ridge the ground with two-horse
plow, four feet or less apart, and with
a spade plant on the ridges, eighteen
inches apart Keep free from weeds and
grass. A sweet potato scraper, drawn
by mule, will be of great assistance
until the vines cover the ground, after
which little attention will bs required.
Digging can be done with a spade, if
only small quantityis IL grown, or with
q rlow with the mould-koard removed,
and . rolling cutter to cut the vines.
use digger: consisting Of two roll
ing cutters and two plows, throwing the
dirt in opposite directions, and two
lifters that pass under the ridge, leav-
. ing the hills to be easily lifted by hand.
The potatoes designed for table use
are separated from the seed and corded
in bins in the potato house. Great care
should be observed in handling to pre-
vent marking. A slight bruise, or a
scratch of a finger nail, imperceptible
1T first, will become black and insight
ly, and greatly impair the sale.4 No
vegetable depends so much on its good
looks for quick sale at high price as
sweet potato.
The house is kept as near uniform
temperature of fifty to fifty-tive degrees
as possible.
The crop is marketable from Novem'
ber to April in barrels and kegs lined
with paper to keep out the cold, and
shipped to market in refrigerator cars

GnEAT FALLS, Aug. 2o.-[Special. Par
ties who arrived from Maiden this evening
bring report of another big strike in the
famous Spotted Horse mine at Maiden. 1t
will be remembered that this property was
sold by p. w. McAdow to s. T. Hauser.
A. N. Hotter and others more
than year ago for $6OO,OOo.
The syndicate worked. the mine on an ex-
tensive scale and under the contract all the
output was paid over to Mr. MoAdow. Un-
der this arrangement he received &20O, O,000
when the chute of ore in which they were
working pinched out and they abandoned
the mine, turning it over to the former
owner. A few weeks ago McAdow resumed
operations and proceeded to prospect for
the lead. His efforts were speedily rewarded,
as two or three days ago he again
struck it rich, opening mp two large veins
Of very high grade ore. One is seven feet
in width and the other four, while the ore is
the richest ever, found in the mine. II is
understood that force of 100 men will be
put to work ut once and that the mill will
speedily be put in operation. This not only
means hundreds Of thousands for McAdow
but much prosperity for Maiden and the
region adjacent.

Two Brotlers-in-Law in . Row About
Some Money.
BosToN, Aug. 22.-D. w. Gilmore, of San
Francisco, created something of sensation
in the Quincy house last night by demand
ing the clerks protection from nervous
little gentleman, who proved to be E. A.
Sanborn, of Hollowell. Me. Gilmore said
that Sanborn intended to shoot him. While
Gilmore was talking Sanborn disappeared.
Five years ago Gilmore married Sanborn's g
sister. who was worth 100000. The match
was most vigorously opposed by Sanborn.
Mrs. Gilmore died four months ago in San
Francisco, leaving daughter. Gilmore
came to Boston a few days ago to see his
brother-in-law, bringing his child with him.
Last evening he met Sanborn at the house
by appointment and went to the lat
ter's room there. He had scarcely
struck him and locked the door, put
ting the key in his pocket. He then, ac-
cording to Gilmore, produced bulldog
revolver and demanded his victim to sign
a quit claim to his wife's property and also
agree to give the child into Sanborn's keep
ing. Gilmore did as he was ordered to,
writing his remuneration on the back of a
large business card. Gilmore says Sanborn
then went to the Quincy house with him to
get the child. When he reached the hotel
Gilmore informed him he would not keep
his agreement. Then followed his appeal
for protection. Gilmore later demanded
protection from the police, but they de-
clined to interfere in what they called a
family row.
Sanborn was seen later by reporter.
He was very bitter against Gilmore, and
while admitting the private interview with
him when he locked the door. denies that
and saws Gilmore voluntarily offered to
write the quit claim, which he showed to
the reporter.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-Commissioner
Raum continued his testimony before the
investigating committee to-day. He said
that some of the money he had obtained
from Lemon went into the refrigerator
company, but declined to state how much.
Cooper presented an article ubiished in
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette of June
9th, containing denial Of the truth of the
charges brought by Cooper. The commis-
Nouer denied that the article had been pre-
pared in his Office and taken to General
Boynton. He had a number of interviews
about that time with Newspaper men ON
this subject. The interview was, he said,
substantially correct. The commissioners
said that probably Lemon had spoken to
him about advanced cases before he SUBJ
mitted his letter. Certainly other attor-
neys had dome 90. As to the system of
