Breaking q Colt.

When the colt has been taught to let
you mount him without any nervousness
or impotence, take him out into the yard
or shed where you have been leading
him and mount him there, letting him
stand still with you or walk as he pleases.
he stands still five minutes after you
have mounted him so much the better,
but very few, if any, colts will do that.
IF at any time you want to start him,
don't touch him with your heel, or any
thing to send him off with a rush, but
pull him gently to one side with a hori-
zontal rein. If he is FESTIVE and does not
guide to the rein, you have mounted him
too. soon; get off as soon as you can,
without any fighting, and give him more
discipline where he must submit.
II he walks about quietly with you,
take a few turns around the yard OF
shed, and then get off his back and lead
him, or drive him with reins a mile away
from home, and there get on him and
ride him home at a walking pace. Be
sure that you do not at first attempt to
ride him from his home, his stable, his
company, OF any strong attraction. as It
may lead to a fight in which you may
not be master. II such q fight is care
fully avoided at first it will not take
place after he has learned to thoroughly
understand all your signals and acquire,
a. Don as he will. the impression that
he must obey them.-Exchange.

The SUFFOLK Punch Horse.

In England the Suffolk Punch is, par
excellence. an agricultural horse. He is
uniformly Of chestnut OF sorrel color,
not SO large as the Shire or Clydesdale,
but compactly built, round bodied,
short legged and rather light boned for
his weight. The Suffolk is probably the
best established Of the heavy breeds Of
English draft horses; but It is not so
widely popular as the Shire or Clyde,
and the foreign demand for horses Of
this breed has been much less than for
either Of the others. Still in many parts
Of England the Suffolk Punch is consid-
cred superior to the Shire, Clyde or
Percheron for agricultural work, as he
is nimble and quick, q fast walker and q
good keeper. Youatt says the rare ex-
cellence Of the Suffolk horse consists in
its nimbleness Of ackaon and the hon.
esty and continuance with which It ex-
erts itself at a dead pull. Importations
Of this breed into the United States have
been small and have not attracted much
attention. Several volumes Of q stud
book Of the breed have been published
within the last dozen years.-Rural New
Yorker,

Bees are as easily controlled as horses
or cattle. mentioned in a previous ar
tcle what was needed. The bee smoker
consists Of q tin tube with q bellows at
tached. The tube is filed with some dry
material. Cotton rags are good; some
use rotten wood. It is important that
the smoker be well filed and lighted;
bees sometimes get angry very suddenly,
then you need your smoker. II 1t has
been ~carelessly lighted and allowed to
go out, the beekeeper may find himself
in a hot place. To open a hive blow a
little smoke into it; do not ~suffocate
them; just enough to let them know you
are on hand.
Then after 9 few moments take of the
cover; If they are much excited blow
smoke under the cover as soon as you
raise it enough to admit the smoke
When you have taken the cover of lay
it with the adhering bees In front of the
hive so that the bees can go into the
hive; now blow smoke upon the beet
until they are quiet, and by pushing the
frames a little closer together you will
be able to lift one out; it is well to have
an empty hive at hand, into which you
can hang one or two frames SO as to have
space for handling. The beginner will
be at a loss as to what is to be done even
after he has successfully opened the hive
and handled the bees. Well, you must
seek an acquaintance with the little pets;
You will gradually learn to tell almost as
soon AZ you lift the cover what the con.
dition Of the colony is.
It is necessary to know whether the
bees have a queen or not; the expert can
tell without seeing the queen. If queen.
less, the bees are. nervous, wings buzzing
continuously. No eggs in the cells is
evidence that the colony has no queen.
In. April the hives should be examined,
and if it has dead bees or filth on the
bottom board it should be cleaned out.
See that the bees have honey; now is
brood rearing time and much honey is
needed. The weather will often keep
the bees in for days, and unless they have
honey the brood will perish. Always
work with the bees on fair, warm days,
when they are ut work: use the veil on
the face, for you may get a bite when
you least expect it, and it hurts.-M. L.

about "votiug," 1.-THE presence of members
and the use of compulsory process to compel
their attendance is what is treated of. Now
if we apply common-sense rules OF inter-
probation to the clause, it will bear the
construction that when the Constitution
says "a majority of each house shall con-
stitute a quorum" it means majority
bodily, visibly present. If not, why fol-
lows the clause concerning the compulsion
to attend? If that compulsion is not for
the very purpose of securing bodily and
visible majority, why is it provided for !?
If that bodily and visible majority is in
fact in the House, perhaps brought there
by the compulsory process of the House,
invoked by minority, as it may be, then
the historical fact should appear upon the
records, and it is no invasion of right to
make it so appear. We take it that the
plain and obvious intent of the Constitu-
tion-mskers was to provide for the attend
ance, the bodily presence of majority, as
prerequisite to the declaration that a
quorum is present, and not that majority
should vote, as condition precedent to
such declaration. 1t is freely admitted
that the custom of the House has been to
hold the vote to be the test of the pres
ence of quorum, but assuming that to be
a wrong rule of action, then it is no Of
Tense to a sense of justice to depart from it
now. Precedents are not inhexible nor
immutable; they may be, often are, and
should be set aside when human reason
finds them weak and unjust

JANUARY WEATHER.

A Phenomenal Month in All the Pacific
Coast States.
The Signal Service Bureau, Division Of
the Pacific, sends the following summary
of weather, temperature and rainfall for
the month of January:
Weather-The month has been marked
by excessive precipitation and low temper
atures throughout the Pacific Coast States
Rain or snow fell in Southern California on
the Sd, 4th, 9Th, 18th, 18th, 18th, 2lst, 25th
and 26th; in Northern California on the 1st

iugton on all days except the 4th, 9Th, It'll
10th and 21st.
Temperature-At all stations the mean
temperature for the month was lower than
usual, the greatest departures from the nor
NAL occurring over Nevada ard eastern
Oregon, and the least in Southern Califor-
mia. Mean temperatures at selected sta.
tons were as follows: Spokane Falls
Wash 1S0; Portland, Or, 800 Sacramento,
Cal, 430; San Francisco, 460; Fresno, 400;
San Diego, so.
Rainfall-The rainfall for the month was
in excess of the average January rainfall in
all districts, and added 10 the heavy rains
of October and December, makes the sea-
sonal rainfall over the greater portion OF

STREET PAYMENTS.

London has three kinds of pavements-
wood, asphalt and macadam. The Times
has recently been publishing the testi-
mony of the people who most use the
roadways. OF course it is conflicting, but
it is all valuable in determining what
kind Of pavement a city should adopt.
The burden Of testimony in London is in
favor of the asphalt for after horses travel
upon it a short time they appear to under
stand how to secure good foothold, and to
prevent themselves from falling by reason
of its sometime slippery character. The
wood pavement, it was agreed by all, is the
best for the feet of horses, but no wood
road surface has yet been invented that
does not rapidly decay and yield to the
wear and tear of travel. In favor Of
asphalt the most Of the horsemen pointed
out that its cleanliness was a strong
argument for it, while the inability of
horses to draw as heavy loads over it as
over wood or stone roads, was an objec-
ton. As to noise, there was no choice be-
tween wood and asphalt, said residents
along the streets, but in other cities as
phalt pavements are commended because
of their being least noisy. As to horses
falling upon asphalt, it was proved that it
happens mainly when the animals are
driven from stone, wood or macadam
pave suddenly upon an asphalt way.
Where the animals travel, said most of the
witnesses, altogether on asphalt they do
not fall oftener than other horses on
harder and rougher pavements. 1t was
found also that for asphalt pavements the
horse should be shod without heavy calks,
as these tend to make him slip, while a
light shoe that permits the entire hoofto be
planted on the surface of the street pre-
vents falling. So, too, it was agreed that
on asphalt pavements the draught is much
lighter, hence, while the traction of the
horses foot is less, SO too is the need for it..
The sprinkling of sand upon asphalt ways
was du'lseu dS IeHoFlnS al opJectIons'
These findings in the city of London ought
to be of value to us, since the disposition
is now manifest to enter largely upon the
paving of cur streets in the early spring.
1t should aot grow less but augment. If
We enter systematically upon street i'm
prorement, and carry it forward on an eco
aomical plan, we will enhance the value of
possessions and render the city more
inviting to the home-seeker. Let it be
hoped that the present local agitation con-
corning street improvement will not lessen
in vigor. 1t indicates healthy interest in
the city and is the promise of perform

THE country will now be flooded with
abuse of the Republican majority in the
House of Representatives, because Smith
has been seated in that body and Jackson,
his contestant, has been rejected. But let
US suppose that the exact fact is as it is
claimed to be clearly proved before the COM
mittee; that 500 votes were required to elect;
that the certificate of Jackson, the Democrat,
showed that he received "eight hundred
and tive" that the Governor, Democrat
construed this to be "eight hundred and
twelve" that the microscopic examination
of the return clearly showed that what had
been interpreted to be an abbreviation of
twelve" really was "two," and we have
the case in nutshell. Jackson did not,
therefore, receive eight hundred and nine
votes; his opponent did, and that was all
there was in the matter. 1t is true as the
partisan press assert, that the vote seating
Smith was that of the Republican major
ity, but it is equally true that the Demo-
Gratis voted solidly for The seating of Jack
son, regardless of the facts referred to. 1t
is deplorable, of course, that contested
election cases very frequently, indeed, in
most cases, are disposed of upon party
lines, and as party strength prevails. But
if the record is searched with diligence, it
will be discovered that our friends, the
Democrats, were :he first to introduce the
evil, and that in eight cases out of ten
they have passed upon contested election
cases on party issues only. The Republi-
can party is not free from criticism in that
respect, but it has not nearly tine load of
sin to bear of that character that burdens
its opponent. In the Smith-Jackson case,
however, it will not do to rush to the con-
clusion that the decision of the House was
a partisan one. When the record of the
House reaches us, and the report of the
committee containing the testimony is at
hand, we will be able to judge if the
statement of the facts given above is borne
out, and if it is, the capital the Democracy
is endeavoring to make out of the case
will be valueless.

Mr. CARLISLE has issued an appeal to
the country against the ruling of Speaker
Reid. 1t is an ingenious argument, and in
a nutshell is this, that the Constitution
declares that majority of the House shall
constitute quorum for the transaction Of
business; that the practice has been for
many years to interpret that to mean that
a majority must be present and participate
in business to make a quorum; that if it
appears from call of the ayes and noes
that a majority does not vote, then the
record is made that majority is not pres
ent, and that the House alone can make or
correct the record.
Let us see just what the Constitution
does say on that subject. Article l, Sec
ton V, reads: "a majority shall constitute
a quorum to DO business; but smaller
number may adjourn from day to day, and
may &c authorized 10 compel the attend
ance of absent members" etc.
Nothing is said, it will be observed,
