Sagacity of n Horse.

The surface roads have the patent
table switches. They consist Of an iron
table within and one without the tracks,
one balancing the other. As o good
many lines use the same track here and
there, these switches are turned this
way and that every minute, the opera
tion being performed by causing one
horse to tread upon this or the 9th
or table. Coming down tho street the
other day on tho front platform of a sur
face car noticed the driver looking an
other way as we approached one Of these
switches. The switch was turned the
wrong way, and while l was wondering
whether 1 was on the wrong car or we
would soon be on the wrong track, the
old white horse on the near side showed
his fellow outside the tracks upon the
right table, skillfully avoiding the in
side plate himself by half hop, skip
and jump, and we went around the cor
ner all right and flying. That beat any
trained horse ever saw, because it was
practical and had been picked up by a
despised and generally execrated ami
mal-the street car horse. se.-Pittsburgh

SALT FOR STOCK.

It's Use as Condiment for Cattle-Change
of Dict to Keep Up the Appetite.
The salt barrel should be kept ad ia.
cent to the feeding box, and to avoid
accidents by any animal trespassing
and taking too much, the barrel should
have safe. close-fitting cover, or a
well-made bin should be used. The reg
ular ration given with each feed should
be measured out accurately. One ounce
| for each COW at each feed, or half pint
for fifteen cows, is the proper allowance.
This will be equal to one pound or six
teen ounces for the fifteen cows. There
are times when the appetite of the COWS
will fail from repletion, sameness of
food, or other causes, which are removed
by change OF feeding The addition
to the food of some agreeable favoring
will at once have good effect.
We once, says Henry Stewart, pro
cured a barrel of molas ses for use in the
dairy, and once week gave at q rst a
quart of it to our herd of fifteen COWS,
mixed with the dry meal, little witer
being added to make the mixture even.
The zest thus given to the food was
conspicuous by this small quantity and
it was given in larger quantities, gal
Ion to the fifteen cows, or about Twelve
ounces to cow in two feeds once a
week. While the effect on the milk
was not apparently worth noting, the
result upon the cows was quite marked
and had the molasses been givsn in the
first small quantity every daylt is prob
able that it would have besn repaid
with profit.
A useful continental food ftr use when
the appetite appears wea k nay be made
as follows: Linseed meal pure, fifty
pounds, brown sugar ten pounds, corn
meal one hundred pounds, ground gen.
tian one pound, ground turmeric one
pound, ground ginger ons-half pound,
caraway, anise and coriaider seed one
quarter pound each, finely ground, sui
phur two pounds, salt two pounds,
cream of tartar one-half pound, all we'll
mixed. Two pounds Of this is given in
place of as much cornmeal once or twice
a week.

MUSICAL.

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from a severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DIR: Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compli-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

spending holes in the lower end of the
tongue receive these rounds when put
In place. Pins of wire with bent heads

but Is shorter. In this the lowest round
is five feet long and the tongue is re-
versed. 1t rests on the under side Of
the topmost round, the second round
passing through the second hole. Tho
tongue is then drawn back until 1T
cramps between the rounds, and it is
fastened there by hooking the wires to
staples driven into the side pieces at
the proper distance down. The wires
then act as braces. When standing.
the ladder forms tripod. A piece of
wood usually has to be fastened to the
side of the tongue where it touches the
top round, to give sufficient spread. If
these ladders do not stand too slanting,

them in place. The short ladder will

FEEDING FOR PROFIT.
There Must re Moro Than Nero Living
Ration For stock.

There Must TIC Moro Than Nero Living
Ration For stock.
Every farmer should first look we'll to
his store of feed and see that he has
sufficient feed to carry his stock profit
ably, says the New England Farmer.
If not, he should buy feed or dispose Of
a portion of his stock. Oftentimes cat
tie are fed through the winter and are
not OF any more value in the spring than
they were the fall before. The feed
and trouble was entirely lost except a
little manure and that of rather poor
quality.
1t is not enough to feed a sufficient
quantity, but it should be such as Is
best for accomplishing the particular
aim. The animal must consume cer-
tain amount of food merely to keep up
its stationary condition, which must
| first be provided for.
In order to make feeding profitable
barns should be warm, dry and we'll
ventilated; and the stock should be
kept clean and dry. Mr.. Childers states
that lightly Leicester sheep in the open
| field consumed fifty baskets of cut
turnips per day beside oil cake. On
putting them in shed they consumed
only thirty baskets, and soon after but
twenty-five, and yet they fattened as
rapidly as when eating the largest
quantity.
The very young animals require food
for the formation of bone which Is
furnished by milk in larger proportions
than from any other food. The growing
animal wants bone muscle and certain
amount of fat, and this is procured from
grasses, roots and grain.
Animals that are preparing for the
sham bles require vegetables, oils or
starch, and sugar. The first is con-
tanned in great abundance in flax and
cotton seed. Corn is the most fattening
grain. The potato contains the great
est proportion of starch, and the sugar
beet has the largest quantity of sugar
and both consequently are good for stall
feeding.
Another thing to be considered in
feeding for profit is to get the stock in
good condition early in the fall while
the weather is pleasant 1t will take
less feed than to wait until winter sets
in.
Another very important factor in feed
ing profit is the manure. 1t should be
carefully saved and we'll cared for.

STRANGE ADVENTURE.
Pcriis and Hardships Endured by an Ento
mologlst In India.

Poriis and HnrdshIps Endured by an Ento.
mologist In India.
Charles Bayard, a noted dentomologist,
had some strange adventures in India.
One very hot day he shouldered his en-
tomologist net and started out, unat-
tended, on hunt for specimens. He
had secured quite number, when he
noticed COW buffalo of immense size
charging down on him. He made for a
tree, and, being an expert climber, was
soon safe from the infuriated beast.
Hardly had he fixed himself in the tree
when buffalo calf appeared on the
scene, and both the mother and her Off
spring made themselves comfortable be-
meath the tree The unlucky entomolo-
gist tried the power OF his lungs to at
tract the attention of any native who
might be within hearing, but all in vain.
An hour passed, and Bayard was about
to change his position in the tree, when,
in clutching branch above him, his
hand was severely stung or bitten by
some insect or reptile. Starting with
acute pain. as the fear of tree-snakes
flashed through his mind, he involun-
tarily loosed his hold, lost his balance,
and fell from his place of refuge. He
dropped squarely on the buffalo's back,
and in an instant was carried away
through the tall, thick grass of the jun
gle. Being quito an athlete, he man
aged to keep his seat, but with great
difficulty. The enraged beast circled
about, and at length sprang into deep
pond. Bayard still clung to the animal,
until it made for the shore and resumed
its mad gallop. Presently it came back
to whore the calf was still lying, and,
finding that it could not shake of its
clinging rider, proceeded to roll over on
him. But Bayard was too nimble, and
making tremendous effort, he seized
lower branch and swung himself up
into his old position. When he had re-
covered his breath, he set up series OF
howls, yells and whoops that made the
buffalo nearly frantic; and more than
that, it brought relief A party Of ma
tives hove in sight, and, after an excit-
ing battle, killed both buffalo and calf.
Bayard was so weak and exhausted that
he had to be lowered from the tree; but
he revived considerably when it was
discovered that he had been stung by a
hornet, and not bitten by venomous
serpent.-Golden Days.

Montana Sheen,

There Is no question, says the Rocky
Mountain Husbandman. but that the
sheep industry is destined to remain
one OF the permanent institutions of the
country. A large number of our wool
growers are fortifying themselves with
lands, meadows and water privileges in
manner that will insure their remain
ing permanently in the business. We
can mention q score or more princely
possessions adapted to the permanent
prosecution of this industry, and it does
not matter materially If wool does re-
main low, its production will continue.
After grower gets far enough advanced
to own eight Or ten thousand sheep and
ten or twelve sections Of land, includ
ing half dozen hay ranches, he Is in
pretty good fix to make money, even II
wool is low. The owner of such q ranch
as this can make money producing
mutton alone, and have all his wool
money as profit. OF course the small
owner can not chronicle such happy re-
suits, and as consequence at this
writing we notice that the wool indus
try is fast being merged into the
hands of large operatives. 1t is unfort-
unate for tho country that we have
railroad land grant that enables large
capitalists to get such hold upon the
real estate Of the State, but it Is good
for the individual. Montana will never
be a country Of small focks like the
other States for It is not adapted to that
kind OF husbandry; but as land Of
large fiocks 1t is destined to be remark
able PHOSPHORUS. This, of course. means
sparse settlements on many Of our val
leys, but 1t means great prosperity to !
the wool industry and ought to be the |
means Of disseminating large amount
ot wealth throughout the country.

WOMAN'S INTUITION.

Nearly Always Right In Hcr Judgment In
Regard to Common Things.
An old gentleman over seventy, came into
the city from his farm, without his overcoat.
The day turned chilly and he was Obliged to
fcrego his visit to the fair,
TO a friend who demonstrated with him
for going away from homo thus unprepared,
he said: "I thought 1t was going to be warm
my wife told me to take my overcoat, but
wouldn't. Women have more sense than
men anyway"
A frank admission.
women's good sense is said to come from
intuition; may it not be that they are more
close observers of little things. One thing
is certain, they are apt to strike the nail on
the head, in all the ordinary problems Of
life, more frequently than the lords Of crea-
tion.
According to Dr. Alice Bennett, who re-
Gently read n paper on Brights disease be-
fore the Pennsylvania State Medical Society,
persons subject to bilious attacks and sick
headaches, who have crawling sensations,
like the flowing of water in the head, who
are tired all the time and have unexplained
attacks of sudden weakness, may we'll be
suspected of dangerous tendencies in the
direction of Brights disease"
The veteran newspaper correspondent,
10 Howard, of the New York Press, in noting
this statement, suggests: Possibly Alice is
correct in her diagnosis, but why doesn't
she give some idea of treatments / know a
