WATERING HORSES.
French Breeders Always Give Them
Water Before Feeding.

French Breeders Always Give Them
Water Before Feeding.
The good horseman will water his
horse before feeding him, especially in
the morning, says an exchange. French
breeders always water their horses be-
fore feeding, and in all the large stables
of horses in this country that practice is
followed. Yet many horsemen and
farmers never think of the advantage
and necessity of it. If the horse could
talk, or if man could understand him,
he would ask for drink the first thing
every morning, and you will be surprised
how eager they are to get it, whether the
weather is cold or not. I wonder how
many farmers ever think of watering
their horses before feeding them in the
morning, or how much they lose by not
doing it. The horse comes from work
at night, gets drink, then is fed mostly
on dry grain, eats hay part of the night,
and in the morning another dry feed,
and by this time is very dry himself, SO
when he reaches the water he fills his
stomach so full that indigested food is
forced out of the stomach and is dam
age rather than a benefit to the horse.
Now, my friends, TRY watering one horse
before feeding in the morning, thus slak-
ing his thirst and at the same time wash
ing the stomach ready to receive the
morning feed, when, being properly
moistened with saliva, it will remain
until thoroughly digested. Your horse
can do more work on less feed and will
live healthy much longer. Besides, hu-
manity demands this thoughtful care

there has been no serious disturbance
recently. General Ortiz is prisoner at

Madriz, Special Commissioner. issued
special decree prohibiting any stores on

CONCENTRATION OF ANTI-CAT CONTRIvANCEs
going, Offering no resistance to the cats
feet in mounting the fence. The trouble
with this, however, is that the more know
ing cats learn that by mounting at the
point where the roller ends touch each 9th
er a footing may be found between the
uprights in which the rollers revolve.
An electrician has affixed to the fence top
two long strips of copper. Between them
he has placed long strip of wood in such
a manner that the cat will be forced to
tread on both strips of metal. To these is
attached an electric battery. Then the
electrician waits at his window-and it is
said he is losing sleep through his dia-
bolical machine-until the cats mount the
fence. At the proper moment he presses
the button. 1t is then hard to tell which
makes the most notes.-the laughter Of the
man or the bowling of the cats.
Various kinds of cat teasers are manu-
featured in regular way. One style,
which is made of tin, is designed to be
laid on the fence top. 1t has numberless
rows of sharp points sticking from it, and
they offer sharp barrier to feline foot
steps. Another and more old fashioned
device is to place row of sharp spikes
along the fence top.

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.
Alaska May be an Expense Rather Than
Source of Revenue.

Alaska May be an Expense Rather Than
Source of Revenue.
DENVER, September 22.-Joseph MUIR
ray, Fish Commissioner of Alaska, who
has just returned from trip to that
country in company with Assistant Sec
rotary Hamlin of the Treasury Depart
ment, said in an interview to-day:
"Unless some steps are taken there
will soon be no fur-bearing animals in
Alaska. The adventures who flock in
there are rapidly exterminating the ami
mails, and the companies who are can
ming salmon are no better. The laws
need enforcement, and the government
should have plenty of agents to see that
they are enforced. Fox skins range in
value from $40 to 5000. A party goes on
an island with supply of strychnine.
Bait is poisoned and the foxes eat it.
They are skinned and stake is made.
The carcasses are eaten by crows and
the birds die. Foxes that miss the
poisoned bait eat the poisoned birds, and
in short time there is not fox on the
island. The seal fisheries are fast play
ing out. Five years ago there was no
trouble in getting 100000 skins. This
year, allowed to take 10000 skins, the
company only succeeded in getting about
$1,000. The salmon fishers spread their
nets at the mouths of rivers up which
the fish endeavor to 60 in order to spawn.
Every one is taken, and as result there
are no young fish. Unless something is
done soon, Alaska instead of being a
source of revenue to the government
will be unable to support even its native
population"

HE FAVORED GAMBLING.
Tenor of the Evidence in the MayoraIty
impeachment.

Tenor of the Evidence in the Mayoralty
Impeachment.
OMAHA, September 22.-The testimony
of many of the witnesses examined by
the prosecution in the impeachment
proceedings against Mayor Bemis to-day
tended to show that the city's executive
was not in favor of closing the gambling
houses, the principal charge against him.
All members of the fire and police COM
mission were questioned with reference
to proving that in the transfer of Bemis
Park to this city there was boodling.
The prosecution introduced City Clerk
Evans. The records of the city, Mr..
Evans averred, showed that the city had
purchased block in Bemis Park for
$50, 600, the same having been selected
by the park commission one year before
Mayor Bemis was elected to his first
term of Office. Attorneys for the prose-
cution laid great stress upon the fact
that Mayor Bemis had sold the tract of
land to the city, and that as a city Off
cial he was interested in the sale. They
failed to put in any testimony showing
that all agreements for the purchase Of
land were not made prior to the time
when Bemis was first mentioned as q
candidate for the position of Mayor of
the city. Council journal entries were
read TO show the prices paid for park
tracts.

hour the poor animal was killed. Though
there was something painful in the DELHI
crate destruction of creature evincing
such heroic affection for her offspring, yet
this feeling of compassion quickly gave
way to the object of the adventure, the
value of the prize and the exciting joy Of
the capture.
The fidelity of the male and female
whale to each other exceeds that of most
animals. Anderson, in his History Of
Greenland" mentions that some fisher
men having struck one of two whales, a
male and female that were in company to-
gether, the wounded creature made long
and terrible resistance. With single
blow Of its tail it upset boat containing
three men, by which they all went to the
bottom. When another boat came up, the
other whale still remained by it's compan-
ion and lent every assistance, till at last
the wounded victim sank under the num-
Der and severity Of its wounds, while its
faithful partner, unable to survive it's
loss, stretched herself upon the dead body
OF her mate and calmly shared its fate.

Boiled Fish Sandwiches.

You may find it hard to believe that
sandwiches made from boiled fish are
good, but if when you have a bit of
boiled halibut left from dinner you
make few for luncheon or tea you will
find them very good. The fish should of
course have the flavor that comes from
boiling it in sailed water with a bou-
quet OF egetables-say slice of onion,
stalk of celery or sprig of parsley
and half dozen peppercorns Break up
the fish with fork; then take wooden
spoon and rub it as fine as possible.
Make it into a seasoned paste by adding
fourth of pint of sweet cream, tea
spoonful of salt, saltspoonful of white
pepper or paprika. and at the very last
and gradually tablespoonful of lemon
juice This amount of seasoning is for
~ pounds of fish. Cut your bread very
thin, spread the slices with a little but
ter and then with the fish. Lay between
the slices before putting the two togeth-
er a small. tender lettuce Leaf. New

HOW TO THROW A BULL
In Order to Get at His Feet for Trim
ming and Other Purposes.

In Order to Get at His Feet for Trim
ming and Other Purposes.
A good method of casting a bull, in
order to get at his feet for trimming and
other purposes, by throwing is done
quickly, easily and safely. The plan is
as follows:
Put halter on. Take a sound, ordi-
nary cart rope; make loop at one end
and pass it over the head, and let it rest
close around the neck, low down, like a
collar; bring the rope to the near side,
pass it over the back part behind the
shoulders, bring it underneath the chest,
and pass it under and then above the
rope, SO as to make loop around the
chest; carry the rope back, pass it over
the loins, and bring it underneath the
belly close to the TANKS; make another
loop as before and carry the rope straight
behind the animal; tighten up the loops,
one close to the elbows, the other close
to the hind TANKS.
All being ready, instruct the man who
holds the halter-shank to pull forward,
and at the same time the men who have
hold of the loose end of the rope to pull
straight backward, and down the ami
NAL goes, generally without struggle.
Keep his head down and the rope firm,
and as rule the animal lies quietly un-
til such time as it is desired that he
should get up, when the rope is slack
ened and up he gets, none the worse for
the casting.
The heaviest bull may be cast in this
way; but, of course, no one should think
of casting COWS in calf, either in this
way or any other. Those who have ex-
perienced trouble in the past in trim
ming their bulls feet will greatly appre-
ciate this novel method of casting for
that purpose.
