NOT A HEAIrHru1 SMELL.

1t is almost universal belief in this
country that the smell of manure
is healthful. Recent investigation
by the Board of Health of New York
City demonstrates that such belief rests
on fallacy. Some English hygienists
characterize "mews," as stables are
called over there, as hotbeads of dis
ease. The Board of Health of New York
City have been collecting statistics
since July l, 1892, on this subject.
During the investigation 1896 stables
were visited and their sanitary condi-
tion and the mortality occurring in
1926 houses with population of
241 $40 people, including SO, 1916 chill
dren less than five years old were
noted. The houses were all within
fifty feet of stables. The results are
formulated on an estimate of l, ,848, Alb
population and the figures are against
the healthfulness of stables. The be-
lief that scarlet fever and diphtheria
are fostered by the proximity of stables
is borne out by the investigation.
Whooping cough, that is generally be-
heved to be beneficially affected by the
stable effiuvia, had the same mortality
near stables rs elsewhere. The in
vestigation proved that phthisis and
acute respiratory diseases are de-
cidedly more fatal near stables than
elsewhere. The Importance of this in
vestigation to farmers is to point out
the necessity of care in placing their
stables close to their dwellings,. An
other point is the recklessness of men
coming direct from the stable to the
house with their clothing reeking with
the effiuvia of their contact with ami
mails, thereby engendering disease for
which there is no appreciable cause.
The investigation points out in un-
mlstakable terms the occasion for the
malignant character of many disorders
that have puzzled the medical world.
It's teachings are that greater care
should bc exercised by all whose avo-
cations call them to stables, not to
enter houses until they have been in
the air sufficient length of time to
dissipate the odors that their clothing
absorbs in such places. American

From saThe Empress of Austria. +" by
One of the Ladies of Her Court, in
Harper's Magazine, we quote as fol-
lows:
During the entire summer which fol-
lowed her sons marriage the Empress
seemed unable to shake off her melan-
choly forebodings, and it was only
when she went to Godollo that the free
and invigorating country life in meas
ure restored her peace of mind. Every
morning she attended mass as early as
five o'clock, and after drinking cup
of black coffee without milk or sugar,
she mounted her horse, and accom-
panied by one of her ladies-in- waiting,
galloped off through the magnificent
park, which is traversed in every di-
rection by broad, sandy avenues.
Changing horses several times in the
course of the morning, she would re-
main in the saddle until noon, when,
after taking cold bath, she would sit
down with her lady to simple lunch
con, consisting of very rare steak,
dry toast aud glass of Montrose claret.
Towards four o'clock her majesty again
went out riding, returning only just in
time to dress for dinner. 1t is useless
to say that ten or twelve weeks of such
n life were sufficient to exhaust the
forces of the strongest lady-in- waiting,
who, moreover, was obliged to be per-
petually on the qui vive, impervious to
fatigue, and always in the best of
humors. The Empress used to retire
at nine or ten o'clock, and then we
were accustomed to assemble in the
private apartments of Countess Goess,
the Grand Mistress of the Robes, and
to remain there until two or three
o'clock in the morning, laughing,
chatting, smoking cigarettes and even
sometimes dancing with the aides-de-
camp and gentlemen-at-arms en- duty
at the castle. The Empress's affection
for her ladies-in-waiting very much
depended on their skill in horseman-
ship. To those who rode well she was
exceptionally kind and indulgent, but
had no sympathy whatever with those
who were not perfect horsewomen.

DRAINING HILLsIDEs.

Drain tiles can be used with profit
in much hill land. Wet weather
springs are nuisance and often cause
considerable loss in crop when the
water is allowed to seep through the
soil below them. / have found the ex-
pense of draining such land light, as
the tiles need not be laid over two feet
deep and need not be large. By con-
Meeting several springs with one drain
the spring water can be cared for with
one pipe, and the surface waters from
rains will run off the land as usual.
1t is not always an easy matter to
find the vein of water, but it is of
course always at the upper edge of the
wet spot, and when it is found q stone
catch basin should be made to enable
the water to enter readily. If the
water passes below the end of the tile
without finding it, it may seep through
the sticky clay for rod or more before
entering, and the valve of the drain is
partially lost. 1t is quite possible that
thorough tiling of much hill land is adj
visable in order to let the air into it,
but as all cannot afford to do this the
suggestion is that these fertile wet
spots be relieved of the spring water
anyway, thus enabling one to culti-
vate earlier and to grow good crop
on the spots that usually are either
bare or produce only stunted growth.

VEGETABLE SALADS.


Vegetable salads are among the most
acceptable dishes that can be prepared
for spring or summer repast; they
tempt the appetite and impart a flavor
to the rest of the meal. While the art
of making and serving them is very
simple, care should be taken in their
preparation.
The dressing for variety of vege-
table salads is the same, yet different
favors may be delicately added, always
being careful that one does not pre-
dominate over another. 1t is very
important to have only the best ingre-
dients, as wilted vegetables or inferior
seasoning will not make good salads.
The quantity of oil to be used is rather
difficult to decide, but two tablespoon
fuls to one of vinegar is the usual pro-
portion for plain dressings, while more
is required for mayonnaise.
Lettuce salad should be dressed only
with oil, vinegar, pepper and salt.
Salads are rendered much more at
tractive when prettily garnished with
fresh green leaves, vegetable blossoms,
rings of hard-boiled eggs, sliced
lemons, and fancy designs cut out of
radishes, beets or turnips.
The dressing should never be added
to the prepared vegetable until ready
to serve, when the salad should be
stirred as little as possible in order to
retain its freshness.
The vegetables best suited for salads
are lettuce, asparagus, dandelion,
celery, caulifiower, water-cress, beets,
string beans, cabbage, potatoes, GU
cumbers and tomatoes. -Harper's

BREEDING pRAuaHr HORSES.

English draught horse breeders have
given more attention to size, power
and strength than any other breeder,
and have the heaviest draught horses
in the world. The Clydesdale breeders
in Scotland were the first to start {
draught horse stud book and they have
made pedigree their chief cornerstone
French breeders have made action and
beauty of form their aim. They care
not SO much for size and still less fo,
pedigree. The Belgian breeders be
ieve they have the model draught
horse and have carefully maintained
their type for generations.
The American draught horse is being
evolved from these breeds with good,
heavy draught size, with style an6
action to suit our markets. European
breeders have been developing theil
model draught horse for hundred
years and have made the draught horse
their national breed and the agricultural
horse of all Europe. American farm
ers, too eager for experiment and i'm
patient for success, have tried all the
breeds, have crossed and mixed them
to their hearts content, and then di.
luted with trotters and coachers and
find we lack the chief element-size.
Let us now adhere to line breeding,
to sires in the same stud book, and
grade up for larger draught horse
with size and weight in the collar, with
all the beauty of form, style and action
we can get, but we must first get size
to make draught horses; thousands OF
our little grades have beautiful forms,
but with 500 pounds more weight
would make them double the price.
Start now for that extra 500 pounds
try for the 1900 and 1000 pounds, and
you will better appreciate the mistake
of stopping with one or two crosses.
Breed to the best pure bred sires and
grade up to the top. Never sell a good
mare, however tempting the offer.
Keep them to do the farm work and
raise fine draught colts. Western Ag-
riculturist and Live Stock journal.

A queer way of advertising wares

live things to sell. Last Friday while
walking past his shop I perceived a
