AN sTHET1cs FOR HORSES.

A correspondent Of the London Live
Stock Journal writes: SIN extremely
painful operations on the human sub
iect ansesthetics are almost invariably
employed. The patient is rendered
insensible. This not only renders the
operation painless, but affords the
operator every facility for conducting
his work, in consequence OF the per-
feet placidity Of his subject.
"It is a sign Of the times that chloro-
form is coming into use in operations
on the lower animals a. well. In the
practice of gelding it has been freely
adopted, and with great success, by
several veterinary practitioner during
the last few years.
ut is to be hoped the system will
become general. Licensed vivisec-
tionists are instructed to use macs
thetics when conducting their inyestl-
cations. The time is probably not far
off when. humanitarians-or rather
sbeastarians,' as they have been called
will be strong enough to pass a law
that colts operated upon to destroy
their fertility shall be duly chloro-
formed or rendered insensible by some
other eficacious anesthetic. It would
therefore be well if those who now op,
crate in the old fashion would pursue
the new and better way SO as to be
prepared for future regulations. The

Can Odors Cause Deafness :

Everyone does not know that sro'
matte salts and very strong, pungent
odors are injurious to the nerves Oh
smell, and often produce Serious u
not incurable difficulties. -
It is we'll understood that certa1n
scents start the action of the secretory
glands of the nose and throat, and
often the eyes fill up with tears. Ere
quent indulgence i'll the use OF SUCH
perfumes will soon overtax the secre-
tory organs and weaken them. Some
day the person observes that th9 hear
inc is less acute than usual, ana The
sense Of smell seems defective.
This is, of course accredited to a
cold, and but little is thought OF 1t.
After q time, the entire head becomes
affected, hearing and smell are almost
if not altogether lacking, and there r
throat and lung complications which
are likely to end in chronic, II mot fatal
illness.
It has taken the medical world a great
many years to discover that loss OF
hearing is almost invariably caused oy
some disease of the throat OF noses OF
both. -. >
It is said that the use of smelling
salts is one of the most prolific causes
of deafness, operating by weakening
the olfactory nerves, andthrough them
the auditory system. All strong or
pungent odors should be avoided as
far as possible, especially those when

The Rent is a Rose.

An interesting ceremony took place
nt the Lutheran Church at Mannheim,
Penn, the other Sunday. It was the
payment of the annual rental for the
ground on which the church stands,
and il locally known as the ''feast OF
roses. In 1772 Baron William Henry
6tiegel, the founder Of Mannheim,
donated the ground to the Lutheran
congregation, upon which Zion Church
now stands. The Baron exacted for
his land five shillings in cash and the
annual rental Of one red rose in June,
when the same shall be lawfully de-
manded." That clause is in the deed
Of transfer, and for 40 years the red
rose has been paid by the congrega-
Zion to some descendant Of the Baron.
At the services Mrs. Elizabeth Boyer,
Of Harrisburg, a great-granddaughter
lot Baron Steigel, was the representa-
tive of the landlord. On the altar, in
d vase, was a huge red rose. An
official Of the church council made an
address and formally rendered the
rose to Mrs. Boyer, who then signed
y receipt for a years rent of the
property.-New Orleans Picayune.

THE TIME TO CUT BUsHF

Any time is a good one t. cu, bushes
TO destroy the growth. If the caves
can be prevented from growing one
season, the bushes will die, but other
wise they may be cut down to the
roots. every year for q lifetime and
every spring they will sprout again.
The cutting should begin at once, and
as fast as the new sprouts appear these
should be removed. But the most
effective way to rid the land of any
kind of brush is to take out the roots
by means of q heavy pillow and a mat
took. 1t is more work at the begin
ming, but a saving in the end.-NeW

A Fish.Eating Rodent.

RAISING A R TEAMs.

i. Farmers too often sell the best
horses and content themselves with
INV sort of a team on the farm al
being of little consequence, and too
often ever sell good grade mares that
would raise a fine colt and do better
work than any other horse on the
farm, but the buyer offers q good
price and the best producer on the
farm is sold.
English and French farmers have
pure bred draught mares to probably
do the farm work and raise q colt
every year that pays the rent. Mr..
McLain, at a Kansas Farmers lnstl-
sute, advocated breeding high class
horses and having good teams on the
farm. He said:
Tt is impossible to estimate the
difference between a good and poor
team on q farm. One means success,
the other means failure. I am asked
to say which breed of horses [ ON
slider the most promising to raise for
sale. I suppose, of course, they mean
for the farmers In this sectlons
engaged, as they are, in profitable
farming. I would say that if one-half
of the farmers here kept an account
and knew just what their horses cost
them when grown and ready to work
they would find that they have cost
| them more than they could be sold for.
I would say, for most farmers, to raise

reasons are the following:
/. Early maturity. Draught horses
can be gotten on the market n year
younger than a warm blooded horse.
2. They are easily broken. It takes

which the hay is placed by horse

in q great measure, and haying may
now be Justly considered an art. BY
| utilizing the improved machinery, and
following improved methods, one man
can now do the work that formerly re-
CURED two men.
Where the hay is placed on the
wagon by a hay loader, and taken OH
with q fork OF sling, a good working
crew for q large farm consists OF four
; men. and two boys ten to fourteen
wears old. With the wide cut-mower,
Il is not necessary to begin cutting be-
I fore 4 o'clock in the afternoon. This
is easier for the horses, more comfort
able to the man who drives them, and
much better for the hay if it contains
much clover. Enough can be cut be-
tween 4 and s o'clock to keep ahead OF
the wagons until the next afternoon
One mar does the moving and tedd1ng,
and what little raking there is to do,
and still has time to help considerably
in moving away the hay in the Darn.
The boys drive the wagons. Two men
stay in the field and do the loading,
and one stays at the barn to manage
the horse fork and keep the hay moved
back. Three teams and one good horse
are necessary, the latter being used al
the barn for unloading. When the boy
comes in with q load, he leads the
horse, which is attached to the fork,
taking the load off his wagon while the
other n is being loaded in the fields.
The time consumed in loading is q
little more than that for unloading,
and this allows the man at the barn to
scatter the hay in the NOW. Whether
he can keep up this end of the work
depends on the distance to haul and
the amount of hay in the barn.
Hay is made very rapidly and cheap
" in this way. With the force men
toned there is very little time lost.
Everything runs smoothly, and little
energy is wasted. The hay is put in
the barn at the rate OF fifteen TO rWentJ
tons per day, and at a cost OF forty-hVe
to sixty cents per ton, varying, OF
course. with the weather. On thefarms
of the Atlantic and Central States this
