A Good Thing Provided the Young AMI

That violent and continuous hard
work would injure colt or an imma-
ture horse will be clearly admitted.
That many farmer raisers of draft
colts have failed in many instances to
make some profitable use of strong,
well-grown colts, is equally true.
Visiting a farm recently we found it
had been thought necessary to hire an
extra horse for work a part of the day.
standing idle in the stable, because it
was not convenient to have him on
pasture, was sturdy grade draft colt
two years old, and weighing 1850
pounds or more. He had never had
harness on. Two colts a year older
were doing practically full work on
the farm. They were carefully
handled and, probably, were not being
injured, although required to do more
than one likes to see asked of colts at
their age. There IS no reason to be-
lieve that moderate, light work would
have been of the slightest injury to
the two-year-old-but it is not the Gus
tom to work colts at that age-at least
not in ordinary work. Many two
year-old trotting or running colts are
made to do excessive work in train
ing or in races. Many of these are in
jured by their work, but it is the
opinion of very many good trainers
that reasonable work, even at high
speed. need not do harm to the colt, il
reasonable care be Saken not to over
task them.
Many boy of tender years is re-
quired to do hard work, even on farms
where it would be thought almost
monstrous to ask a two-year-old colt to
help in tee light work of the farm.
Better leave the colts idle than to in
jure them by overwork, but neither
extreme is necessary. On farms where
considers Die numbers of colts are
reared they may not be needed for
work, but on many, where one or two
are raised each year, moderate work
at busy time may be decided help

A Novelty i'm BicycleS,

A novelty in bicycles went up Broad
way last week, says the New York Sun.
a young colored man rode il and
showed off its fine points in a way that
attracted a great deal OF attention
Instead of being stationary, the handle
bar could be moved backward and for
ward. Every time the rider pulled the
bar back the bicycle shot forward in a
way which showed that it had some
sort of rowing machine attachment
which worked in conjunction with the
pedals. There were the ordinary ped
ais on the bicycle, and the rider worked
these the greater part of the time, but
every now and then when he got in
ticklish position among trucks, cable
cars and other vehicles he would give
the handle bar a yank backwards and
the wheel would dart ahead.

The African Species Have Poor Memo

The African Species Have Poor Memo
ries-Descendants of the Mastodon.
The European elephant herd" is,
generally speaking, the property of the
large circus owners, and these prefer
the Indian elephant, which they allege
to be more docile and more reliable
for their purposes than the African
species. The trainers say that the lat
ter have bad memories and that this
makes them uncertain performers in
the ring. They will learn a few tricks
without difficulty, but when called up
on to perform in public they sometimes
seem to forget their accomplishments
and either stand still or bolt for their
stables.
1t has been recently pointed out that
this lack of memory. or perhaps of
brain power, in the African, when
compared with the Indian species, may
possibly be accounted for by the de-
scent of the former from the masto-
don, an caller distinct type than the
mammoth. The teeth of the African
elephant correspond with those of the
mastodon, while in the Indian elephant
they are analogous to those of the more
recent mammoth. When kept in Eng
land the African seems to have less re-
spect for humans" than the Asiatic,
and is less trusted by it's keepers, who
seem to look upon it as unsafe. But
this is only a comparative estimate of
a creature judged by the side of one
which has long held the first place
among domestic beasts of burden. DR..
Sclater. who has summarized the gen.
eral experience of the Geological So
ciety for nearly 20 years. gave it as
his opinion that they are quite as intel
ligent as the Indian species, though
perhaps not equally docile.-The Sat

A RABBIT FARM,
A New Species which Is Reared on an
Anaconda Ranch.

Anaconda Ranch.
Speaking of fads, A. M. Walker has
one which is likely to soon be as profit
able as it is pleasant. A year ago he
saw an advertisement for German
hares in an agricultural paper, and out
of curiosity he sent for a pair of young
ones. which cost him the tidy sum of
$40. The pets came on in due time and
Mr.. Walker built a pen for them at the
ranch, east of the city. A few weeks
later, when the pets had grown, they
mated and began the digging of a bur
row. 1t was not long before the family
increased, and there were 10 hares in
the pen. The late arrivals had only
just begun to shift for themselves when
an extension to the pen had to be made
and in digging a trench for setting the
bounds another nest was uncovered
and a second family found, we'll under
way. So the growth went on, and now
from the original pair Mr.. Walker has
over so in his warren on the farm, and
is making another addition to the
corral.
These hares are smaller than the
Montana jack rabbit, but are larger
than the cotton tails of eastern hedge
rows. They are marked only by their
color. a deer color on their backs,
which sometimes spots into black, but
not otten. They have smaller ears
than the western species Their meat
Is very juicy and sweet, and when
baked in pie they make a dish for an
epicure's appetite.
They are easily restrained within
bounds by simply sinking a board Il
inches deep in the soil about the fence
and they may go under il to make
them nests, but they do not rise 10 the
surface. They require but little care
If they are given an area for forage
but If not, should be fed vegetables
cabbage leaves, turnips. beets or pota-
toes. and IL you wish TO make bunny
really happy, throw in a bunch Of clo-
yer and see him nibble the leaves
As these pets of Mr.. Walkers sell
for not less than S. a pair. it will be
readily seen that rabbits are almost as
profitable an investment as real es-
tate.

has become so tame that he responds
TO the call of the children and has
sometimes ventured in to the kitchen
to pick up crumbs that fall from the
table. They all call him Jimmie" and
he is a great favorite with the neigh
bors. His only enemies are the dogs,
and when one of them comes in sight
Jimmie" sets off at the lope peculiar
to his kind and does not stop till he
gets on a perch near the door step,
from which he can tumble into his den.
