Horse 00ofs Itf s.r-
At present the German butchers pay
from $45 to $50 for horses; but already
the demand Is beginning to increase
the price. Mr.. Tingle. In Farm News,
advises the American farmer to 60 Into
the business Of raising horses to supply
the German food market. He says they
can be raised cheaper than cattle, and
can be more easily shipped across the
water. AS American beef and pork are
excluded from the German markets, he
recommends that the place Of the two
products be filed with horse meat.
Last fall horses sold at auction In
Nebraska at from SIS to $40 each. The
short crops had something to do with
the low price; but the falling of In the
demand for horses, by reason OF the In
PRODUCTION Of electricity as motor, the
bicycle and other causes, had far more
to do with fixing the price. 1t Is doubt
full IL the prejudice against the use OF
horsefiesh as food in this country win
ever be wholly overcome, and the Ger
mans can eat our surplus horses while
we keep and consume our beef and
pork.
There Is no sanitary reason why
horsefiesh should not be used for food,
as the horse eats the same things that
the OK does, and Is, II any difference,
more dainty about what he eats. 1t is
simply a prejudice, that is largely SEN
timental, and founded on the belief that
the horse Is intended for better things
than to become food.
Care of Pixe.
Profitable swine breeding depends
upon the time at which the hogs are
slaughtered in order to secure the high
est market prices. Thus, the time OF
narrowing must almost Of necessity be
so arranged that part Of them at least
be dropped IN cold and frosty weather.
That one has moderately warm pen
is not enough; the run for the sow must
be In temperature which Is evenly
warm all Of the time, and this, / mean,
controlled by animal heat enough to
insure no frost.
Out of the forty pigs which we have
had the past winter, twenty Of them
were dropped in January, and all did
well and to-day are the finest lot we
ever had, says 9. II. Whitcomb in The
Stockman. They are. on heavy grass
pasture, and will REMAIN so until our
peas are ready to turn into. Having
pigs narrowed in this way gives Us an
opportunity to take advantage Of both
the early markets. Then, TOO, we must
let nature have her way in the feeding
Of young pigs. While growing feed
wholly on bone and muscle making
foods, and the pigs will have no stop

Windbreaks,

In every Iong-settled locality where
the soil is sandy, farmers quickly learn
after the original forest is cleared
away, to plant windbreaks to protect
their soil from blowing away. Such
windbreaks do good which more than
offsets the waste of the land which they
occupy. Not only Is soil blown away
after being plowed, but during the sum
mer there are frequent violent sand
storms where the winds have full
sweep, which uncover seeds and plants
or blow sand against the foliage OF
plants, cutting and spelling 1t. These
windbreaks serve another important
purpose in winter in keeping the snow
evenly spread over the fields. They
should be Of evergreen wherever pos.
sible, so as to make a protection fol-
winter as well as for the summer sea.

NIr Cleveland, it appears, does not deem labor n commodity in the sense at least in which tho Manchester school of economies terms it commodity. As Mir. Cleveland has been ordering Gibbon, Hume and Ma caulay, it is inferred that he is dipping into history for allusions of late. His method in this respect Is to cut out paragraphs and pages from some books for appropriate classification, a fact which accounts for his recent orders for duplicates. A book which has found favor with him, too, is Irvings Life of Washington" Mir. Cleye- land owns also nine different lives of An drew Jackson and much bibliography on the same illustrious subject. The writings and correspondence of Franklin are like wisu favorites of the president.
 Now, assuming the reading of works like these to be done in connection with his own labors in literature, it is natural to infer that Mir. Cleveland is framing an American view of economies and proposes to support his view by appropriate allu- sions and quotations from the founders. His mind is by this timo thoroughly satu- rated with our national history He is for all that reading up on the subject perpctu- ally. The whole tenor of his state papers and public addresses can leave no doubt as to the DdIuTe Ol any tIlcOflcS Ic NOulu sup port His laborious and methodical style of composition and the extreme care he characteristically takes in alluding to his torical facts may, however, give scholar ly rather than q popular interest to his book when it appears.
 AS the days progress Mir. Cleveland ap- pears to engross himself more and more in those literary labors. His visitors always find him in his study. His sedentary oc- ccupations do not always agrcc with his physique, which is one reason why he goes off for an occasional scramble through the swamps and marshes in pursuit of game.
 A noteworthy fact, too, is that Mir. Cleveland allows himself no amanuensis in these labors. He tolls away at his desk in the library or in the study at Woodley, using his own pen. He manages in some way to keep track of the new books. On April a firm of New York publishers re- ccived by telegraph an order to forward to his home book that had been placed on the market April i, two days before
 In one respect these literary labors de- note change in the man. Several years ago MT Cleveland was no great reader. Now he is good deal of bookworm. This is q very powerful factor in his de- termination to lay down the responsibili- tics of office when his present term is end ed-New York Herald.

Wood Vinegar Found to Be Very valua-
 ble ns Disinfectant.
 The discovery of m effective antiseptic for the germs of tuberculosis is of great interest to hygienists.
 M. Goviansky of St. Petersburg, after numerous experiments, reports that wood vinegar, also called pyroligneous acid, has a very energetic general antiseptic action, greater sven than that of per cent so- lution of carbolic acid, since in four or five days it destroys the most stubborn mi crobes. Added in equal volume to tuber- culous sputa, it entirely destroys every mi crobe in the sputa in six hours. For the purpose of sterilizing and rendering harm less the expectoration of consumptives wood vinegar is found by this Russian physician to be exceedingly quick and cer- tain in doing its work.
 Phenol in per cent solution invaria- ply succeeds in destroying the bacillus of tuberculosis, but 1t is uncertain in its germicidal effect unless it acts for 24 hours. But pyroligneous acid Ca mixture of guaicols, cresols and acetic aeid) seems to have greater power for killing the terri ble parasite which causes consumption, and which even resists sublimate and car bolic acid. M. Goviansky's experiments are therefore of very great value to medi cine and sanitary science. New York Herald
