Stevenson and Speaker Crisp and asked
them to attend the exposition, and all the

River Platte Cattle.

From Buenos Ayres advices the bureau
of the American republics learns that the
total slaughter of cattle in the districts of
the River Platte and Rio Grande do Sui
during the season of 1898 amounted to zoos,
900 head against 1862, 900 head during the
season of 1892. Statistics of the annual
slaughter would seem to indicate that the
stock of horned cattle in the River Platte
region has greatly increased since 1875, when
l. 542, 900 head of cattle were killed.

To Keep Cows From Kicking.

1t is an old saying that habit be-
comes a second nature, and this is
pretty we'll exemplified in the case Of
many kicking COWS. The trouble
usually arises from permitting it to
become habit, and this can in most
cases be prevented by gentle usage
from the mixer, beginning with the
first calf Where gentle treatment
does not succeed aud the COW is on
the way TO become an habitual kick
er, or lifts her foot to knock over the
pail without any provocation, her
legs should be securely tied before
beginning the milking, so that the
operation can go on just as though
she was not trying to prevent it.
Any device that restraints the COW
so that the mixer does not quit or
show signs of being Inconvenience
by her attempts at bad behavior, I'M
less she is naturally incorrigible or
has been made so by scoding and
cruel treatment, will generally result
in reformation. Even a COW is not
likely TO long continue a disagreed
BILE habit unless its effects are shown
by the conduct of the mixer II her
legs are tied a few times until she
sees that she is not annoying him or
compelling him to stop milking, the
straps may then be loosely wrapped
around them and after a awhile be
laid aside altogether.

Queer Style of Papering.

A London correspondent mentions
that a Mr.. King, of Ipswich, has pa,
pered his library with some four
thousand dollars worth Of postage
stamps. Over foIty-fve thousand
stamps lave been used for the pur-
pose, and all except sixteen are uD-
used stamps. But, what is more,
about forty-three thousand OF the
stamps are obsolete, so that their sur
facevalue, which is $500, is only a
part Of their real value. SO skillfully
has the work been done that Mr..
King has, perhaps, the most beauti-
fully papered room in the world
The effect OF the various colors, all
blended and harmonized with the
utmost skill, Is said to be extremely
striking, and to look like choicest
mosaic work.
This is almost more unique than
the style Signor Brigoli employed in
papering his study. He was favor
tie tenor in the United States some
decades ago, and he decorated his
room with the complimentary notes
and love letters he had received from
his lady admirers

Spare the Shelter.

1t is very natural that a farmer
whose work has been largely the
clearing OF forest land TO make grain
fields and meadows, and who, later,
has continual time OF guerilla war
with briers and bushes that follow
the heavy troops Of trees and still
dispute for possession of the soil-it
is natural that he should seek to eX-
tirpate the whole, root and branch,
take pride in having entirely clear
fields and fences But another enemy
then comes in-the parching wind.
The bare areas that he has learned
to admire are not pleasing to lover
Of landscape. Some sheltering hedge
rows, and here and there a little
grove or clump OF handsome trees,
add both benefit and beauty, besides
increasing value. A field without
any sort of rim is like picture with
out frame, or face without cap or
purl

Feeding Bees For Honey.

Bees store honey, they do not make
it. The poet was correct when he
wrote that they gather honey all the
day from every opening flower.
Consequently honey is not changed
by the bees, as it is well known that
it partakes OF the character of the
plant the bees gather it from. Thus
buckwheat honey is dark in color and
has apeculiar flavor, easily recognized
by experts, while clover honey and
that from Eastwood trees are much
lighter in color and have a superior
flavor. If the bees are fed on sugar
theS store it in their combs, and the
product is not honey but sugar syrup.
To make honey in this way IS fraud.
and the cheapness Of it is no excuse
for thus using the bees dishonesty.
Sugar syrup, however, may be prop
erly used 10 feed bees from which the
honey has been taken too closely in
the fall

Bridge Across the English Channel.

Most of our readers will remember
the state OF abject dismay into which
large part OF the people of England
were plunged by the proposal TO
pierce the bed of the Channel between
that country and France with a tun-
mel. For time it seemed as If the
country had been torn up side down,
and Englishmen were living in dread
of ''Bounaparte"-they took a silly
pleasure then in using the Italian
spelling-and expected to see the in
vincible body guard Charge out OF
the black hole on the coast and the
imperial army follow, to lay waste
the land, capture the men, and cap
tivate the women. The fact that a
dynamite cartridge which an English
man could carry in his sack-coat
pocket would block tunnel beyond
repair for months was not given a
moments attention. The girdle OF
the inviolate sea was threatened. The
thought was intolerable. But now 1t
is gravely proposed TO bridge the
Channel; and though this is project
as old as the English railway system,
it has been very deliberately devel.
oped by French and English engi-
neers, aided by Sir John Fowler and
Sir Benjamin Baker, designers OF the
Forth Bridge, and it is evidently to
be pressed in good faith and with
hope Of success. 1t is intended to be
nearly IS miles in length, resting on
70 piers, alternately 1910 and 1880 feet
apart, and constructed on the can't
lever principle. But if Englishmen
were alarmed al tunnel, what will
they say TO bridge that requires
six dozen obstacles Of a most forml-
dable kind to the navigation of the
Channel? But then English panic is
a most uncertain phenomenon, quite
as apt TO be missing when it would be
reasonable as to be very unressona
Die when there is no occasion for it

The Improvement Of Horses.

The sooner the farmers III the
United States realize the fact thatthe
ordinary and commonly bred horse
is likely to deteriorate in value year
bv wear. the betterit will be for them.
The use Of cables TO drag street cars
has already reduced the service per
formed by horses in the cities, and
the extension OF the trolley system IN
the suburbs aud the perfection Of
electric motors will relieve many 9TH
er thousands Of horses from such ser
vice. 1t has not been so very long
since nearly all the threshing was
done by horses; now only very
small percentage of even the thresh-
ing. machines are worked by horse
power. Practically all OF the plough
ing is now done by horses; but
cheap and practical steam-ploush
will be shown 10 visitors TO the
Worlds Fair. and it .is not improba-
BILE that in ten years from now quite
a large percentage of ploughing will
be done without the aid OF horses.
The need in the cities and ON the
farms for fewer horses will tend more
and more toreduce their mark ct value
Commonly bred horses WI, be the
first to deteriorate in price; indeed, 1t
is doubtful whether finely bred horses
will suffer at all. There is no reason
why they should. The purposes for
which they are used will not be- at
fected by any inventions revolution
ling methods OF transportation or
tillage. Even though we could fly IN
the air with a balloon entirely under
control, a spin on the road behind
pair Of trotters or a gallop across the
country would give just as much
pleasure as ever it gave. The horses
that get the blue ribbons in the horse
shows will continue to be as valuable
as ever. while humber animals-those
that drag street cars and plough
will be less valuable year by year
