BRITTLE nooFs.

Dry weather is a cause OF the brittle
ness OF the hoofs, but this may be caused
as we'll by an inAammatory condition OF
the system. The inner part of horses
hoof is exceedingly tender and sensitive,
aud sympathizes Immediately with any
diseased condition of the animal The
horn contains large quantity OF water
and this is driven off when the foot IS IN
a feverish state, thus causing the brittle
ness. First, this condition is to be
changed by cooling medicine. Give
pound of epson salts, which is better
than oil in this case. Repeat il neces-
sary. Give cooling, laxative food, and
keep the system in an open condition.
To run on damp pasture will be use
full. The shoes should be removed and
the hoofs pared, and when the horse is
in the stable the feet should be kept in
linseed poultice. The frog must not be
pared at any tIme.-Nep York Times.

IMPROVED EMULSION.

Last year, writes Professor A. J. Cook,
the Arkansas Experiment Station recon-
mended a modified kerosene emulsion,
found superior to the usual kind. A
kerosene extract of pyrethrum made by
fiitering one gallon kerosene through
two pounds Of the powder is used instead
Of the pure kerosene. Dissolve one
quart so;tsoa2 or one pound hard soap
in two quarts Of water. While still hot
add one pint of the kerosene extract of
pyrethram, and violently agitate till a
perfect emulsion is formed; properly
done, the material will look like cream
and the ell will never separate on stand
ing, even though diluted. To emulsify,
we must agitate the mixture violently.
This is best done by pumping back into
the liquid-casily done with a cheap
dollar pump; cannot be done by stirring
This is more powerful than the simple
Kerosene emulsion and is safe on all
foliage when diluted to a one-twelfth
mixture, while one fifteenth mixture is
as strong as is safe to use in case Of the
regular Kerosene mixture. We diluted
the softsoap emulsion by adding as much
water, and the bardsoap by adding twice
as much water as we took of the emul-
sion. This season currants, hollyhocks,
potatoes and many other plants have
been greatly injured by species of bugs
sucking their juices. The pyrethro
emulsion has served to kill the bugs
without injury to the plants. -Ne'0 York

Is CnIture Hereditary?

The whole point at issue is whether
there is q casual relation between the
cultivation Of the mental faculties and
their development; in other words,
whether the increment gaiaod by their
exercise j. transmitted to pos.erity.
Profes. or Weismann and most Of his
followers, Constituting what is gener-
ally known as the school Of Neo-Dar-
winians, deny such transmission. II
they are tight, education has no value
for the future Of mankind, and its BEN
efits are confined exclusively to the
generation receiving it. So far a. the
incubation of the knowledge is con-
cerned, this has always been admitted
to he the case, and the fact that each
new individual must begin at the be-
ginning and acquire all knowledge over
again for himself is sufficiently dis
couraging and has often been deplored.
But the belief, though vague, has been
somewhat general that a part at least
Of what is gained in the direction OF
develop ing and strengthening The facul-
ties of the mind tn, ough their lifelong
exercise in special fields, is permanent
ly preserved to the race by hereditary
transmission to rostelity Of the ac-
quired increment. We have seen that
all the facts Of history and OF persoDal
observation sustain this comforting pop
ular belief, and until the doctors Of
science shall cease to differ on this
point ard shall reduce the laws of he
redity to degree of exactness which
shall amount to something more like
demonstration than the current specu-
lations, it may perhaps be as we'll to
continue for time to hug the delusion.

THE EMPEROR THOUGHT 1T NO LIBERTY

IHE EMfEhOk 1hOOOhl IL NJ biobhi I .
A story of the Hon. Mrs. Napier, the
wife of the English diplomatist, has a
touch Of human nature about it also. 1t
was ten years ago, and the master OF
Napier and his wife were dining at
Babelsberg with the old Emperor Will
liam. Just as they arrived at the castle
there were signs of storm. Knowing
Mrs. Napier's great horror of thunder
and lightning, the master turned to her
and warned her to control her natural
nervousness if it were possible. Mrs.
Napier, with the most exemplary inten-
tions, promised everything, and went in
to dinner very bravely with the Emperor.
Just as every one was seated there came
a flash and a clap, and, forgetting every
thing else, Mrs. Napier dutche1 the i'm
perial arm in dire distress and buried her
head on the imperial shoulder. A sud
den remembrance of the situation made
her "let CO." but the Emperor inter
rupted her confused apology with "Do
it again, my DEAR" that efectually
broke up the stiffness of that dinncT
table. --New York Press.

THE two gentlemen who have been placed before the people of Apache, by the Democratic party, to represent them in the Constitu- tional Convention, are so well and favorably known throughout the length and breadth of. the county, that it is scarcely necessary for the HERALD to say anything in their behalf. In fact 1t can't say any thing except what is already known to the people. John Hunt, Esq, is one of the first settlers of Apache county, and has so carried himself that he has won the confidence, res pect and esteem of every man, woman and child in it. He is by no means what would be termed a brilliant man, but is possessed, in an eminent degree, of that good, hard, common, horse-sense, which will enable him to serve the people in the convention in a most satis- factory manner. There is nothing narrow or bigotted about him. He is a man of large ideas and broad views, who will strive to frame a constitution which will guarantee even and exact justice to all classes and all nationalities.
 Judge Mcdonald has been in pub lie life in Apache county for the past four years, and has so con ducted himself in office, that even his enemies cannot say ought against him. He, like Mir. Hunt, is not brilliant man, but for sound judgment, good, hard sense and keen, quick perceptive faculties has no superior in the county, and if elected, will see that nothing is in- corporated in the constitution that is not liberal, broad and just.
 In our opinion two better men could not have been selected to rep resent Apache in this convention, notwithstanding its importance and gravity.

WE would like to know what stand the Democratic nominees of this county intend to take on the test oath. They might as we'll show their hands on the proposition, as they will be obliged to do so when the campaign opens. It must be Mormon or American, as between the two there can be no affinity Tucson Citizen.
 We apprehend the Citizen will have its curiosity fully gratiied when the time comes. The Demo- cratic party is, and has always been opposed to prosecuting any sect or religious denomination on account of thelr religious belief. If, by any chance, there should be test oath incorporated in the proposed con stitution, it would insure it's defeat before the people by an overwhelm- ing majority. The people of Ari zona are too broad minded to per init any clause in their organic act which would be oppressive to. per haps, one-third of her white popu- lation.

The increase iE the price of feeding steers from March 1890 to June 2Oth was oyer fifty cents hundred on an average, Hope began to spring strong in the breasts of all But the drouth in the corn-growing states set in and ruin followed. Not because of the abundance of cattle, but for the reason that there was no feed. Hundreds of thousands of well-bred young and old COWS, yearlings, calves, etc., were sacri- feed at the shambles because there was nothing on the farm or the range for them to eat. This kept up the supply to q point beyond the demand and prices accordingly ruled low.
 This condition cannot be dupli- cated in future for many years. A total failure of corn in all the states where that great feeding crop is made cannot destroy the market this year, should such misfortune come, like it did in 1890 for the reason that the cattle are not in the country to be sent out, Each drouth- stricken community sent to market all of it's live stock save such as it could rough through the winter and there has been no increase by purchase 10 these holdings. Hence, a drouth would only send forward the natural increase from the small numbers held over, and this would not materially affect values.
 However, there is no danger of this being drougthy year. Nature in due time restores all departures from an equilibrium and the restor- ing period has now arrived. Crops will be reasonably good and the farmers, instead of rushing their remnants to market will have to be short shippers in order to restore to their lands the regular number of cattle necessary for profitable husbandry.
 So there will be no great runs there can be none. The receipts at Chicago for 1891 will be two to four hundred thousand short of those for 1890 and other markets will fare no better. The time has come when we can afford to protect and build up our cattle holdings and the wise men will do so.-North- western Live Stock Journal.

The next morning the min CTS went to where the shooting oc- cured and found where the Indian had been in ambush, but the ground was so dry the trail could not be
