We have said that horses shonld have
frequent drinks Of cold water when
working hard in the hayfields. 1t has
also been advised in these columns that
the polls of the horses should be shaded
and kept wet by means Of sponges, says
| The Farmers Review. These precau-
tons will do much to prevent overhead
lug, but it may be well to give some ad-
vice Us to what should be done should a
horse give out" during the busy sea-
son. The symptoms Of this trouble are
probably we'll known to most of ourread-
ers. The sweat suddenly dries, the horse
stops or staggccs, and if forced to con.
time working commences TO pant and
blow. with every other evidence Of dis
tress plainly noticeable. The tanks rise
and fall rs seen in a horse with heaves,
and unless something is done speedily
the poor animal will go down and in
many cases die. The horse should be
embarrassed whenever there is the slight
est symptom of overheating. Take him
to a cool, shady place where the air is
felt and at once give him stimulant,
such as alcohol ounces tor whisky
ounceS), nitrous ether 3 ounces, water
pint. at one dose. At the same time
he should be sponged all over with cold
water and have cold water dashed on
his head continuously. If very bad, it
will be well to rig up barrel on high
shelf, then put faucet in it, to which
attach Il piece of hose pipe. Tie the lat
ter to the bride, then fill the barrel with
water, turn the faucet and allow the wa
ter to run in a steady stream upon the
horses head. The water should be kept
running for hours until the animal has
regained strength, which in some cases
is not for day or more. Where there
Is supply of ice Mt hand this will be
found Of great service. Break il mp fine,
place it in sack and keep this ice poul-
tice on the back of the horses head until
he is well. For few days afterward
give dram Of inter il each gallon of
drinking water.

Points About Fruit,

Melon vines must be well watched and
protected from bugs Netting or wire
screens are preferred by some gardeners
to any application of insecticides.
Use bordeaux mixture for blight on to-
matoes.
Spraying the fruit trees with bordeaux
paris green mixture is the remedy for
scab, insects, etc.
The cranberry forms symmetrical
little tree under culture, and with its
bright red fruit is pleasing ornament
on the lawn or in the shrubbery.
Partial shade is the best condition for
preventing mildew on the gooseberry,
which is the greatest enemy to its sue
cessful cultivation.
The dewberry is not much cultivated.

Strawberries and raspberries, and the

The profit Of this business is largely
dependent on the price of grain. etc.
Each goose should average 20 goslings
per year. Allowing that the goslings
average 10 pounds, the produce from
each goose would be 2G0 pounds, and
have sold at an average price of 20 cents
per pound for several years in the Bos-
ton n,arket, which would give $40 per
goose. There is g great difference in
geese. and ! only save the best layers.

miles from the shore, and just
whence it came remains . mystery.
The Weather Bureaus report of
the storm will be very faulty, as
the wind gauge was broken. The
Signal Office at Port Eads, whence
some warning Of the storm was
expected, explains now that there
was never the slightest reason TO
anticipate Q storm until it sudden
Iy burst on them, and the wires
went down at once, rendering ii
impossible to warn New Orleans.
The wind gauge had given the
velocity of the wind at ~ miles an

station was destroyed.
From fishermen arriving in the
city to-day it is learned that an
other section of the State has suf-
fered from the storm. The por-
tiOn of the State which was report
ed as devastated to-day is situated
in the vicinity Of what is known
as the La Marshes of Lake Borgne,
near Bayou Muscato. There are
no settlements on the bayou. but
here and there number of fisher
men had banded together and
erected cabins convenient to the
oyster beds. The cabins are now
gone and their occupants unac-
counted for with a few exceptions.
Not sestage of a house remaiLs
in the vicinity, and the shore for
miles is strewn with wrecks of
luggers and other craft, while
lodged among the debris are to
be seen the dead bodies of sailors.
The survivors are III a worse con-
ditiOn than those at Grand Isle
and along the lower coast. Bayou

munication with the city by the
loss Of the sailing craft. Since
Sunday night those who were for
tunate enough to escape the fury
of the storm have subsisted on
what they could find in the swamp,
and as their supply of water gave
out early Monday they we're oblig.
