Breaking a Bronco.

The secret OF the bronco's dociity In
that he has been broken to bit with n
"spade." Now, the spade is broad
piece OF metal so placed in the middle Of
the bit that when the curb rein Is drawn
the spade comes hard against the roof Of
the bronco's mouth. The rider teaches
the bronco the uses OF the spade in this
fashion: Having dismounted, the breaker
throws the curb rein over the tronco's
head so that the rein lies partly on the
ground. Then the breaker waits unit
the bronco moves. The movement Is
usually sudden and impctuous. The
breaker, with equal suddenness places
his foot hard upon the dragging end Of
the rein, and the spade is driven into the
roof of the bronco's mouth. IL is stub
born beast that does not stop short when
he feels the spade.
This discipline is repeated again and
again, until the beast learns that TO
move while his rein hangs over his head
and trails on the ground Is TO stir tho
spade into activity. When the breaker
is sure that the bronco has learned his
lesson it is pretty safe TO turn the beast
loose with the rein over his head. Should
the bronco attempt TO leave the place
where he il left, no must sooner or later
tread on the dragging rein an3 drive the
spade upward into the roof Of his mouth.
When left to himself, therefore, he is
extremely careful how he moves about,
and he seldom attempts to trot away lest
he incur the cruel retribution OF the
spade. - New York Sun.

AN ENEMY To THE OYSTER.
Great Destruction I'm the Dv.- .
Hay Beds by the /" BOrer.0

The "borer," pest of about the size
of n small strawberry. is working great
havoc among the oyster beds in Delaware
Bay and tributary streams.
Capt. Moses Veale, of the oyster
schooner White Lily. says that the de-
structive powers of the "borer" have
been known to oystermen only few
years He has followed oyster dredging
nearl, thirty-tive years, and the first
"borcr' he saw was about ten years ago,
but their ravages in the oyster beds were
comparatively unnoticed until last year.
Capt. Neale said that 81 last year the
number of dead oysters With holes made
by borers in the she'll became so great
that oystermen were alarmed. The year
the work of the borers has become grave
matter. and if il continues n any bays will
be depopulated OF oysters. From one
he'd we dredged on this trip we got 200
baskets of oysters, but out Of these only
200 were good, the dead oysters having
been killed 10y borers. A peculiar thing
about the ravages of the 'boreis 10 their
apparent selection of the best oyster beds.
We have found this to be true several
times this season. We have found a bed
of small oysters almost entirely free from
'borers. This bed will be separated
from another bed of larger oysters, by
200 feet. but this latter bed will be so
badly affected by the creatures that it
will hardly pay to work it.
From what can learn from oyster
men the destruction wrought by borers Is
much more severe in Delaware Bay than
in other places.
"Thc work Of the borer this year
makes n double misfortune, for the oyster
Ids were badly damaged by the big
storms in August and September Very
few people who are not in the oyster
dredging business know anything OF the
methods of the borer. When first took
notice of it's work secured several oys-
ters Just after the borer had fastened it
self TO the shell. When the borer fastens
itself il holds ON like leech, and II 10
with difficulty that il can be removed
with the fingers.
Sometimes the borer fastens itself
to the oyster shell near the edge, and
then the oyster is not killed. When the
whole Of the 'borcr' is made near the
centre of the shell tho oyster Is attacked
IN It's vital parts and dies in three or four
days after the hole is first made"
Some OF the bed-owncrs near Maurice
River have lost large sums OF money this
year on account of the "borer." Thomas
Munscy, who has number OF large beds,
it is said, will lose $4,000. Several
other men have lost nearly rs much
through this unlooked-for calamity, and
n number of men have lost in the neigh
borhood Of ~. 900 or $4,000. All oys-
termcn say there can be no way OF taking
away tho "borer" without destroying
the oyster-bcds. - Philadelphia Ledger.

CITY or SANTANDER.
A Town of Commercial and Historical
Interest.

Santandcr, whose opera house was the
scene of tho recent awful bomb throw
ing Outrage, is the capital Of the pro-
vince bearing the same name, and is one
of the leading scaports OF Spain. II has
also the distinction of being the seat of
"A bishropric. The present population is
between 10000 and $4,000, having
doubled during the last quarter OF a cen
tury, and the commercial prosperity of
the town has even surpassed this proper
tion.
The city is situated on the inside of n
rocky peninsula which separates 1t from
the bay OF Biscay, forming an excellent
harbor for two or three miles wide and
four miles long. The entrance Is ut the
enstcrn extremity Of the promontory, and,
though somewhat difficult for sailing yes
sells in certain winds, has depths OF water
for the largest ships. The exports con-
sists chiefly Of iron ore to Great Britain
and wine and olive oil 20 France.
Satander Is divided into two sections,
an upper and lower town. There are
very few buildings OF any prominence.
The cathedral was undoubtedly intended
for an immense structure, the original
design being Gothic. but IL has been so
altered by later additions that but little
of the old work remains. There Is also
a theatre, formerly convent, OF some
prctensions, and hospital aud Jesuits'
church, which lay claim to architectural
beauty.
The CITY, taken as whole, Is essen
italy modern, it's chief interest lying in
it's strongly constructed residences,
ouays and numerous factories. In ad-
dition to the above Santander has a gas
works, phosphorus, sulphuric acid and
sail manufactures.
Besides being trading port OF no
mean pretensions, Santander is water
ing place Of great reputation. The
bathing establishment on the seaward
side OF the strip OF land on which the
town is built contains all the latest i'm
provcmcnts and is ranked with the best
continental watering places. There is
communication by rail with Madrid,
which is 3l6 miles distant, and by
steamer with Liverpool, London and
Hamburg, as well AS with Havana and
all the leading Spanish seaports.
There is considerable historical interest
centered in this town. The part was in
1853 given the privilege to trade with
America and ia 1855 was created
"Ciudad." Charles V. landed in San
tandcr in 1929, when he came to take
possession of the Spanish crown. and
from there departed. Charles L., Of
England, embarked on his return from
his ll.fated visit incognito in search of
a wife. In 1908 the city was sacked by
the French under Soult.

LATTICE LEAF PLANT.

ing window-leaved, which in part ex-
plains it's oddly, as one can look clear
through the leaf. 1t is also called lace
leaf or lattice leaf for the same reason.
The popularity of the plant consists in
it's leaves being nothing more than a
mere network of vascular tissue. re-
sembling lace. 1t is not very often met
with. even in our park greenhouses,
hence is worthy of a visit by all who
like to see unusual forms OF vegetation.
The water in which such plants are
grown should not DC deep, say eighteen
inches, but this can always be remedied
by raising them as this one is being
grown. in large fat pan. The leaves
of a full-grown specimen will be two
feet long by about four inches broad,

1t is asserted that the plant is readily
raised from seed and when once in good
condition will generally sow its own
seed. 1t must first be raised in green
houses.

Tho Anne Tree BOrer.

Orchardists and gardeners should be
cautioned at this time of year against
the apple tree borer. known also as
the round-head borer and distinguished
BY two conspicuous white stripes along
the back. Unlike the peach grub. which
confines itself to the bark, the apple
borer, in the course of its three years
existence, penetrates the wood. The
old and successful remedy was to
scrape away the surface of the bark
and enter the hole with small flexible
wire or small twig. Careful
orchardists by close attention have sue
ceeded in clearing their trees. A later
and common remedy for excluding the
borer is to apply to the bark
from the ground upward coat
ing of soft soap il which washing
soda has been mixed. This repels the
insects and prevents their depositing
their eggs This work should be done
early in July, if it has not been done a
month sooner. The presence of the
young insect may be detected by the
discoloration of the bark. If the outer
surface be scraped with a knife late in
August or early in September. expos

WISDOM CONDENSED.

Fifteen Choice and Useful Bits Of Horti.
cultural Philosophy.
1. Stir the soil to conserve moisture
and promote plant growth. as we'll as
to kill the weeds.
2. Use hardwood ashes literally on
all garden truck. small fruits and
orchard trees.
8. Apply liquid manure to force rapid
and full maturity of choice crops.
4. Nitrate OF soda can be used with
benefit on all crops. 1t is Immediately
available, and should therefore be only
employed in connection with plants in
an active stage of growth.
5. We must spray with Paris green
and copper compounds, to produce
sound marketable fruit.
6. There is far too little mulching
done. Small fruits, trees and garden
crops are given a most favorable Oppor-
tunity for attaining the highest perfec-
ton and development when their roots
are covered with thick mat of leaves,
hay or other suitable material.
:. A good mulch keeps down weeds.
and renders the soil loose, moist and
porous at all times, and that. too. with
little labor of cultivation.
g. Be sure and commence early to
thin fruit upon trees and vines, that
have set the same too freely.
9. Remember that oftentimes by the
removal of fully half the fruit the re-
mainder produces as much bulk and
sells for more money than the whole
| would if all had been left on.
TO- Where fruit is thinned the parent
plant is exhausted far less than when
the entire crop is permitted to remain.
II. Let the sheep and poultry run in
the orchard and consume wormy fruit
| and insects.
Il. Sc. out your fruit plants and trees
every year. Do your share toward maxi
ing the earth to blossom and be filled
with fruitfulness.
10. Sort all fruit very carefully, and
send same to market neatly packed in
attractive packages. This point must
not be sighted.
IA. In making sales, get as near the
consumer as possible. Many commits
| sicns and middlcmens profits leave lit
| tie for the producer to receive for his
products.
L.. Live off the best yOur land pro-
duces. Do not stint yourself for sake
of having more produce to sell. Get all

CHINESE AND THE PHoNoGRAPH

rhsy Start In With the Idea That 1t
Contains . Cannon Firecracker.
Did YOU ever see a Chinaman try
phonograph? No? Then you have
missed one of the best things this world
has to offer.
At the beginning the Chinaman
hasn't an all-abiding confidence in the
monograph. His experience In this
country hasn't been such as to give
him any too much confidence in any
thing that has the slightest appearance
of mystery about it. He tries it. If he
can be induced to try it at all, with the
air of man who thinks that it is all a
put up job and that the instrument con-
tains a cannon firecracker that will ex-
plode at the proper moment and wreck
one side of his face.
At least that seemed to be the idea OF
a Chinaman who tried one of the phon-
ographs on the Midway Plaisance at
the worlds fair.
He waited until he had seen some
Americans try it before he could be in
duced to go near it and even then he
had grave doubts. He had IA firm grip
on the ear pieces as he put them in his
ears. preparing to yank them out
promptly if anything exploded. There
was solemn expression on his face.

Then he got the strains of "Papa

something similar, and he grinned. His
eyes stuck out and the proportions OF
the grin increased. He began nodding
his head and shutting his feet
His companions seemed to think he
was going crazy. They ali began talk

going in time to the music as if it were
set on pivot, and the play of his fea-
lures was a whole show in itself.
When the air was finished there was
an animated discussion among all the
Cinnamon in the party, and then each
| in turn tried it, each showing the same
lack of confidence in the beginning that
the first had.

Hirh Feeding Of Poor Cows.

It is useless to try to make a poor
COW over into a good one by extra feed
ing of grain. 1t will only fatten her
and then she will be fit for the fate due
all poor cows-to go to the butcher.
There is limit to which every COW may
be brought by feeding. If it is not at
least $50 pounds OF butter per year,
turn the COW into beef and replace her
with another. 1t is better to lessen
the herd one-half or two-thirds in num-
Der. or reduce it to a single ami NAL,
rather than fill it with cows that, how.
ever fed. will little more than pay their
keep. From the good COW, if properly
bred to a thoroughbred bull Of good
milking strain, some improvement ID
possible. From the poor cows como
only the calves that are not worth
keeping longer than to fatten them

OIL CAKE FOR COWS.
Two Pounds q Day Is rs Much az Shouls
Ever Ec Fed.

Two POunOS q lay Is as MUCH aS SAou'"
Ever Ec Fed.
One of our dairy writer's says that oil
cake is the by-product of linseed oil
and consists of the bulls and other solid
parts. Under the old process the oil is
squeezed out by heated plates and SOL
ids are pressed into fat cakes. These
have to be broken or ground up before
feeding.
Under the new process the Oil is eX-
tracted by means of benzine or naphtha
and the by-product is sold in the form
of meal, the seed having been ground
up BY the old process more oil is left
in the cake and for fattening cattle
many feeders prefer it. On the other
hand, many dairymen object to the old
process cake as containing too much
oil for butter food. They say it tends
to make the butter flat, greasy, soft
and white The same objection is made
to the new process, but not to the same
extent, because there is less oil left in
the meal.
Neither the cake nor the meal should
ever form more than one-tenth OF the
meal ration for butter. Two pounds a
day is as much as should ever be fed a
Jersey COW, and one pound is better for
most cows. 1t is laxative and ex-
ceedingly valuable in combination with
cotton meal or corn meal. The best
way to feed any meal is to sprinkle and
mix it over and through lay that has
been cut fine say one inch, and moist
ened. Every COW barn should have a
mixing box in the feeding ROOM
