castration of Colts.

Robert j. Hanley, Veterinary Surgeon,
writes to the Centreville Md Observer
as follows as the spring, in every year,
is the time most farmers have their horse
colts castrated, few words on the subject
will not be out of place. All colts to be
operated on should be at the time in
healthy condition, and free from all blood
troubles, coughs, colds, strangles, or colt
distemper. Some colts have not yet
thrown off their winter coat Of hair. Such
colts are not 10 condition to be castrated.
Why? Because the colts blood is not in a
healthy state. He is poor and weekly; the
operation makes him weaker, and he will
not grow much for the next II months; the
system is in a low. depleted condition, open
to take any disease or distemper that may
take other older horses. A colt in such a
condition, with throat or lung disease, never
makes good horse. Most all the horses
We have today in our community with
chronic cough, heaves, broken wind, indi-
gestion, swelled legs, &C., come from cas-
trating and facilitating colts at the wrong
time. Have your colts operated on when
they are in fit condition; any month until
the last of September, when their blood is
clean from spring grass.

RAPID TRANSIT.


From the ST. Louis Star Sayings.
The first train leaves at NJ.
For the land where the poppy blows
The mother dear is the engineer.
And the passenger laughs and crows
The palace ear is the mothers arms;
The whistle a low. sweet strain:
The passenger winks and mods and bii''As
And goes TO sleep on the train
ASP. NJ. the next train starts
For the poppy land afar,
The summons clear falls ON the ear,
IAN aboard for the sleeping carr
But what is the fare to poppy landY
hope tits not too dear;
The fare is this--a hug and kiss
And its paid 10 the engineer
So ask OF Him who children took
On His knee in kindness great,
take charge, pray, of the trains each day
That leave at and s.
"Keep watch on the passengers" thus pray,
For to me they are very dear
And special ward, o gracious Lord
Der the gentle engineer

The Bigness of Texas.
From the New York Evening World.

From the New York Evening World.
A recently printed statement that the
Western States of America are becoming
crowded is disproved by figures that,
through various manipulations, tell most
wonderful story of the length and breadth
of the magnificent empire lyingwest of
the Mississippi
OF the vast area of the larger Western
States people who have not visited them
and travelled over them have no compre-
hensive idea. Texas, the largest of the
United States, has an area of 262,29O
square miles. To the casual reader, says
Kate Fields Washington, these figures
mean very little; they show, however, that
the Lone Star State is more than fifty
four times as large az the State Of Con-
aecticut.
If it were possible to run railway train
from Connecticut to Texas and back in
day. aud if the train could take the entire
FORMATION OF the Nutmeg State. as given
10 the last census, ut every trip, aud upon
its return there should be as many per
sons in the state as there were before the
train left with its cargo. and If placed
upon an acre of ground upon his arrival in
Texas. the train would be obliged to make
224 trips or to depopulate Connecticut
224 times. before accomplishing its mis-
sion, and then there would remain In
Texas 703,S0S empty acres.
1t may be of passing interest to know
that such train, made up of coaches
twenty feet long, capable of accommodate
ing fifty passengers each, would extend
over distance of more than fifty six
miles.
If the entire State of Texas were plant
with corn, and the hills were two feet
apart, and the rows we're three feet apart,
and if every man, woman and child in the
State of Connecticut were set to work in
the field to hoe the corn, and each person
were able to, and did hoe two hills in i've
r.inutes. it would take this army of labor
ers 7 years, $50 days and hours to hoe
every hill of corn in the state, laboriug
continuously day and night 365 days each
year.
To those persons who have never stopped
to consider how great a country they are
living in these figures may be Of interest.
The man who fears that he could not el-
bow his way around in the crowded West
without chatting the nap OF his coat sleeves
may gather some solace from the statement
that the entire living population Of the
globe. ,.i0D,0O0,O00 souls, divided into
families Of five persons each, could be To-
Gated in Texas, each family with a house
on half-acre lot, and there would still
remain 10000 900 vacant family lots,

In Memoriam.

Mrs. D. B. Lyman died at the family
residence Virginia City, last Sunday
morning of pneumonia. Prior to her
marriage to Superintendent d. B. Ly-
man this very estimable lady was a
public school teacher at Virginia City
and as one of her pupils We cherish her
in loving memory. She was indeed a
queen crowned with all the virtues of
noble womanho I'd and the news OF her
early death will cause a sadness to steal
over the hearts of her former pupi 9
though they are now men and women
dwelling in different sections of this
broad land. Always cheerful, generous
and loving t the little ones, bending to
their level to help them, encouraging
those to whom learning was a mighty
task, she was an angel in their eyes and
will always be to them q model OF all
that was pure and good.

have petitioned the press to
reform says:
IF women want a Fure press let them
go to work at home first purifying them
selves by refraining from scandal-mong-
ering and backbiting. Having reformed
themselves let them rear their children
to be noble in thought and deed and
to shrink from vulgarity. l have said
many a time and oft that there is no
more discouraging element in society
than aggressive men and women, who
think they think. In this category
would | place the II 900 women of Calf
ornia who have attempted to take the
mole out of the eye Of the press before
removing the beam in their own"
