HORSE NOTES.

A little extra care of the colts and
brood mares right now will be of great
benefit to having them winter we'll.
Protect them from the first cold winds
and storms, especially at night.
The most profitable way to tougher
a colt for future usefulness is to give it
good shelter and an abundance of nour-
lshing food, such food as will develop
the system properly. Only such an
amount OF fat is necessary as will add
warmth to the body and round out the
form.
Since we began to make the manure
supply Of the farm a study we have
fallen into the habit of keeping our
horses bedded with an abundance Of
straw. This plan helps to keep the
horses clean, a point that is appreci-
ated by the farmer that dislikes to use
the curry comb and brul b.
We enjoy seeing a good horse and
buggy in good hands. But where we
see a young man spending his money
for this luxury when he needs to cult
he had better put his money into his
head, we conclude the horse and buggy
enjoyment is carried to excess.
While colts winter well on a good blue
grass Or timothy aftermath pasture,
with hay stacks to run to, we doubt
the advisability of such management.
The tTamping is injurious to the soil,
the animals grow up unaccustOmed to
the presence and handling of their
owners. We know by experience what
an unpleasant undertaking it is to
break colts brought up in this way.
At present prizes the common scrub
or even grade horse scarcely pays for
raising. Prices are so very low that
very little breeding was done this year
and less will be done next. Yet really
choice horses of any type are scarce
and bring good prices. History teaches
us that a good time to go into any
business is when everybody else is go,
ing out of it. Isn't this a good time to
start into producing first class horses9
Usually it is advised that corn is not
a proper food for young growing colts,
that oats are far preferable as a grain
ration. In many sections oats are the
most Improbable crop the farmer can
grow. Taking into consideration this
fact, is it not possible to give the colt
a proper growing ration consisting of
clover hay, corn fodder, and a limited
amount of COrn9 We believe it is, and
we know good horses are grown under
this treatment. The trouble we believe
in a corn ration lies in the fact that too
little or too much is fed that the ra-
ton is not properly adjusted.
There is more prejudice against clio
yer hay as food for horses than any
other food used for this purpose. We
believe this comes from over feeding
oftener than from dust. The evil
effect of the dust is easily guarded
against by sprinkling with a little wa
ter whenever the hay is dusty. Farm
ers having experience know that it is
very hard to have clover hay so well
made as to be entirely free from dust.
AS to over eating, when horses have
free access to it in unlimited quantities
there is no doubt but they will do it,
which must necessarily result In in

RECORD IN
Thirty-one Cows Deprived of Horns in
Forty Minutes.


l recently dehorned my herd of
thirty-one head in about forty minutes.
There was no perceptible loss of appe-
tite or shrinkage of milk in any case.
Before d~ehorning, my COWS were al
ways inclined to fight more or less, and
occasionally l have lost COWS from the
effects of this. Now they are peaceabIe
as sheep.
My method was as follows: I first
bought a spring back bone saw which,
with a rope about ten feet long, is ali
the implement necessary to peform the
operation. Leaving the COWS in the
stanchions, l fastened the rope with a
halter hitch around the neck and a half
hitch over the nose, then | slipped the
rope up near the eyes. | then put the
rope over the stanchiOn occupied by the
next COW, a distance of about three feet.
and drew the head firmly to one side.
having a nan to hold the rope. | took
the horn In the left hand and sawed as
closely as possible to the head. After
taking off one of the horns I drew the
head to the other side and proceeded in
the same way, turning each COW out as
soon as L finished with her. The loss
Of was slight with a few excep-
tlons. The application of tar about a
week later aids in healing the wound,
IG Is best to do this before warm
weather, when the flies become trouble
some. BY this method there is nc
danger to man or beast. 1 am now 6
strong advocate of dehorning, for my
experience has given such satisfactory
results.-B. j. jerks, in Farm ana

Mrs. Mary Brown, colored, is a mat
rimonial mascot, who never fails to be
on hand at wedding events. She is aged
about fifty, married, and has lived in
Jeffersonvills, Ind, since the war. 1t
is said that she has attended every we'd
ding solemnized in public places within
that time-how many she cannot recall,
but they number in the five figures. In
some instances she has been rendered
invitations, but in the majority of cases
she goes whether wanted or not. No
matter how fashionable the affair, nor
how crowded the edifice, she takes her
stand near the aisle and awaits the com
ing of the bride and groom elect. She
is the first TO leave the church, and she
will descant for weeks ON the loveliness
Of the bride and the manliness of the
groom. Many times she is not wanted,
but that is a small matter She has an
irresistible desire to be present, and she
cares little who objects. She is a hard
working woman, supporting a husband
by the sweat Of her brow.

ton. In 1868 he was elected to the state
senate and served until 1879 Four
years later he was nominated by ac-
clamation for lieutenant governor on
the ticket with "Blue Jeans" Williams.
President Harrison, then an indianapolis
lawyer, was the opposing candidate and
the campaign was prosbly the most ex-
citing ever held in Indiana. Victory

and Gray, and the former dying Just

succeeded him as governor.
In 1880 he was nominated for govern

A young business man Of Boston had a
slight sore throat early in the winter,
and meeting his cousin, physician land

what to do for it. "Oh, I'll write a pre-
scription for you," was the answer. He
wrote it, and the gentleman glanced at
1t before taking it into the druggist. 1t
read something like this: aqua pura, -
ounces; chloride sodium, grs. Shake

patient, as the druggist handed him the
bottle. 1.-TWO dollars" was the reply.
Recently another sore throat asserted
itself, and remembering the efficacy Of
his first treatment he took in the bottle
to be filed again. Another clerk waited
on him, and when he inquired the price
he was astonished by the cheerful an
swer, "Oh, we don't charge anything

hhllDlitl HOuHt Ol
repr esentatives. HON. r.. @. WINTHROP.
They are Robert c. Winthrop, of Massa-
chusetts; Galusha A. Grow, Of Pennsyl-
vania; James G.. Blaine, of Maine; ].
Warren Keifer, Of Ohio; John G.. Car
Isle, of Kentucky; Thomas b. Reed, OF
Maine, and Nathaniel p. Banks, OF
Massachusetts. OF these Mr.. Winthrop
is the oldest. By a remarkable coin
cidence six of this distinguished septet
met in Washington on recent occasion.
Hon. Robert G. Winthrop early in life
agreeably surprised his friends and ac-
qnaintances His youthful training was
such as would have fitted him for ca
reer of luxury and social successes, but
this was not to his liking and he devoted
himself to affairs OF state He became
a member Of the Wing party when it
was still in its infancy His ability
gained almost immediate recognition,
and at the age of twenty-four he was
elected to the Massachusetts legislature.
He served three terms on the floor of the
house and three terms as speaker. Soon
after the election of General William
Henry Harrison to the presidency Hon.
Abbott Lawrence resigned his seat in
congress from the Boston district and
Mr.. Winthrop became his successor.
When he took his seat in 1910 he was
but thirty-one years Of age. He was
afterward elected speaker, and it is said
that he made as good a presiding officer
Henry Clay not excepted) as the ma
tional house Of representatives has ever
had.
In 1850 Daniel Webster resigned his
seat in the United States senate to be-
come secretary of state in Mr.. Fillmore's
cabinet. and Governor Briggs appointed
Mr.. Winthrop to the vacancy thus Gre
ated. He served with distinction in the
senate, since his retirement from which
he has taken little part in active politics
Mr.. Winthrop is one of the Oldest living
graduates of Harvard. His name is in
timately associated with many events Of
national importance. He delivered the
Grafton at the laying of the cornerstone
OF the Washington monument, July 4,
1913, and was also to have been the ora
tor when it was unveiled, Feb. 90, 1886,
but illness kept him away, so that his
address had to be read by some one else.
He retains his health and strength to a
remarkable degree.
