foals that have been locked. England
has given up the fad. How long will
it take English imitators in America
to abandon the senseless fashion Of
docking the tails of horses? An Eng
lish writer, explaining to tenantfarm-
ers the loss they sustain by docking
their foals, says:
Having made inquiries of the great
London dealers about high-class car
rage horses, / find they will not buy
them if they are locked, as they are
made unstable thereby. It is also q
rule made by army remount purchas-
ers that no horses are taken which
have been locked.
At;the agricultural show lately held
at Welbeck, where the Duke of Port
land gave away large sum for
prizes for horses bred by his ten
ants, and which is worthy Of all
praise. ne particularly requested his
tenants to abstain from dock
ing foals, as SO injurious to their own
interests; and at the autumnal show,
at Elvaston Castle, of horses bred in
the neighborhood, the same advice
was given by Lord Harrington, both
OF these being large horse breeders.
The loss of the tail causes constant
suffering and annoyance from the in
ability to get rid of the swarms of
flies. I have been lately watching
some foals of g. tenant, which have
been locked, and cannot rest from
the attack of flies. whilst, over the
hedge my own young horses with long
tails enjoy comparative ease. This
applies equally to yearlings, when a
long tail can completely sweep he
body and so allay the constant irri-
tation.
London high-class barouche and
state horses derive much of their val
ue from full tail we'll set on. Per-
haps the most benefited by short
tail may be drag-horses and some
cObbv PONIES.

a TERRIBLE M,sHAP.

Transported from JOY to Sadness.
San Francisco. Jan. 2.-The old year
was closed last night by unique and
terrible tragedy by which Sydney Nc
Coy. young lawyer, aged thirty-three,
lost his life, and Miss Grace King, aged
nineteen, is in an unconscious condition.
A party of about fifty friends assembled
last night at McCoy's house to watch the
old year out and the new year in. The
feature of the evenings entertainment
was the production of a short play writ
ten by Mccoy and performed by amateurs
The plot of the play was the betrayal of
band of Russian Nihilists by one of
their number. The Nihilists discover
their traitor and condemn her to death.
They decide by lot who shall perform the
execution, and the number fell to the
character portrayed by Mccoy, Miss
King playing the part of the traitor. She
is given the choice of being killed or
stabbing herself, and chooses the latter
alternative. Mccoy handed her a stout
dagger, which had been in his family for
many years.
In the play the girl, instead of killing
herself, was to stab her executioner. As
Miss King received the knife she reached
forward to touch Mccoy on the breast
with the knife. At the same instant Nc
Coy started toward the girl, when she
stumbled, and falling forward with the
dagger in her hand, drove it through Nc
Coy's heart Mccoy showed wonderful
vitality and presence of mind. He
walked into the next room and asked for
a doctor, and then fell dead. The girl
knew there had been an accident of some
kind, but did not know Mccoy was
killed. She was taken home and after
wards. on the advice of friends. gave her
self up to the police. She was taken to
the city prison at 3 o'clock in the morning
and when she entered the prison tainted,
and has since remained unconscious. This
morning McCoy's two brothers secured
her release by giving bonds for $4,000
for her appearance. The girl was then
taken home and is in a critical condition.
The accident is explained by the fact that
recently Miss King suffered from. a
sprained ankle and she had been using
crutches to walk with, but had laid them
aside to practice the part in the play. As
she made a motion to stab Mccoy she
rested her weight on the weak foot, it
gave way and she fell forward.

Sheep and Nature, -.

Prof. Craig, of Wisconsin, lin a re-
cent institute lecture, stated point
that is worthy OF serious thought, as
follows:
"sheep, to be managed rightly, must
come into contact with nature.
Sheep are more easily influenced than
any other domestic animals; by feed
and environment you can change any
breed OF sheep they will differ greatly
from their progenitors in few gener-
ations."
No better illustration of this can be
given than the fact that there are
more than thirty breeds of sheep in
tho British Islands which might be
classed in three great divisions in
point of size-the fine breeds, the
downs or rolling land breeds and
the mountain breeds. With
regard to wool they may be classed
as the long woods or Merinos being
scarcely known there. Whatever
may be the breed selected it is the
soil and the care that determines it's
final form and use so that taking in
to account the human element it is
the environment that finally deter
mines the type. Selection and breed
ing only fix and transmit what the
environment has given. Americans
have seen the little, wrinkled Merino
transformed into large, smooth
Delaine, but only on SOILS rich enough
and smooth enough to sustain the
enlarged form. 1t is folly, therefore,
to subject large sheep to hard con-
ditions and expect them to retain
size.-Iowa Homestead.

Cleaning the Cow Stable,

Cleaning the Cow Stable. r..
There is no doubt that in a great
many localities says the Orange Judd
Far mer the methods which experience
has shown to be economical in the
older dairy regions are unknown.
How to dispose of the drcppings is q
very important matter. We give the
method which best suits the majority
OF cases. Make a long, stone boat and
place upon it box resembling wag-
on box, though not so long. Have the
boat with it's box large enough to
bold one days droppings. Clean out
every morning, throwing the Drop
pings into the stone boat and haul
directly to the field. This saves loss
through teaching in the barn yard.
Scatter as you unload. The person
unloading can stand on the ground,
so need notget soiled. The stone boat
will run Winter, Summer, Spring or
Fsh. It will 20 over snow,
bare ground or mud. Any time
the team can keep on top of the
ground the stone boat can be used.
For greatest convenience arrange the
stable door so one horse or two can
haul it inside and move it along be-
hind the cows fast as the droppings
are scooped in. If there is not room
to turn it around inside, it can be
pulled backwards with g. single horse,
then hitch him to tho front end and
let him haul it alone as far as the
door, when his mate can be hitched
on, if the door ia too narrow to let a
double team through. OF course the
droppings are in g. gutter 80 they are
easily scooped into the boat, or the
cows stand on a platform and the
droppines lie in a line on the floor be-
hind. This saves work and manure
g. Short Notes.
There is more profit in growing lit
tie things, and iii fine products, in pro
portion, than in the great staples.
But it requires a different sort of tai

Have q pit for the reception of all
the garbage and waste. Then add
from time to time some loan as an
absorbent, and it becomes an excellent
fertilizer. i
