The capacity for work of the horse
depends in NJ small degree, upon the
condition of his shoulders; hence by
preventing gals and sores he is able
to do the field work faster.
The wise farmer looks into the flu

is unduly anxious, or because his faith
in farming is weak, but because it is
q precaution which his business de-
mands.
Next to old horses, old sheep are
among the most disappointing animals

napoleon. Attention to "Details:


In these times of a Napoleonic craze,
when memoirs, books and articles
abound in regard to the Imperial
epoch, and bric-a-brac of those days
are so much "a Ia mode" it is curious
to have an evidence that Napoleon
busted himself with small details of
administration, even when he was in
the midst of enc Of his greatest cam
paigns. NJ. Leblanc, m old French
resident of New York, has in his pos
session a family relic bearing the sig
nature of Napoleon, and dated from
the Imperial headquarters at Dresden,
June IA, 1913. ONE time before the
famous "Rattle of the Nations" at
Leipsic. 1t is a passport granted to
NJ. Leblanc's father, a publisher, and
permitting him to embark in any eli
censed" vessel staring from Morlaix,
Caen or Havre. The signature con-
sists of the single letters ''Napi." writ
ten in a vertical rather than a hori-
zontal line, as it is we'll known that at
that epoch Napoleon had reached the
third of the different ways he had sue
cessively adopted to sign his name.
His signature was rather plain at first,
then more confused, and finally quite
hieroglyphic.-New York Tribune.

American Women,


The Marquis de Castellane's article,
"Fifteen days in the United States"
occupies t%wenty-four pages of the RE
vue de Paris" Here is an extract:
This concentration of the American
brain on two ~ideas-the wish to be
free and the seeking of fortune by
work-has not failed to impress upon
the race certain physical Characters
tics. Without being Of exceptional
beauty, the rae is vigorous. One feels
that 1t is young. The men walk boldly
and briskly, without nOnchalance.
They are supple, fond of open-air
sports. horseback riding, swimming
and yachting.
1.-The women are neither painted o
covered with rice powder, nor are they
anaemic. All, or almost all, of them
have superb compilations; they are
tall, and very few appear In ilihealth.
But in vain n seeks upon their faces
the expression of their sensations or
sentiments. Certainly, and perhaps
happily for them, they have been inl-
tiated into the refinement of sensible
ity, into artistic e%nthusiasms. Their
souls too have only gravitated since
their childhood around the two ideas
that have animated their fathers and
which animate their husbands-the
passion Of independence and the pas
sion Of independence and the passion
Of work. The characteristics Of Amert-
can beauty are pride and curiosity,
az those, Of the French beauty are
grace and submission"

To Fatten Cattle Quickly.

To fatten cattle most rapidly ut this
season of thu year provide a pasture
with at least one acre Of grass for
each COW or steer. Begin with five
pounds Of corn meal and IL pound
of crushed oil cake for each animal.
Increase the feed by adding n pound
of corn meal and one-half pound of
oil cake daily for two weeks. II corn
is ground without the cob, make D
mixture Of three parts meal and II
part bran or mill feed by weight. A
ration Of twenty pounds Of meal and
bran, eight pounds of oil cake with
grass, water and salt will fatten the
animals as rapidly as heavier feeding.
1 would use nothing but old process

zux1s FEAR THE RAINBOW.

They Think 1t Is a Deifled Form OF
the MeasurinR Worm.
Captain Trevitt w. Okey Of Los
Angeles, CAL, for many years sta
toned in Arizona and New Mexico
with the regular ormy. told about the
myths and superstitions OF the Zunl
Indians to a group Of friends at a
Broadway hotel the other evening.
"In the Zuni mind" said he, 1.-THE
rainbow has ever been a deified AMI
NAL, having the attributes Of a human
being and also the body and some of
the functions of q measuring worm.
Obviously the striped back and arched
attitude of the measuring worm, It's
sudden appearance and disappearance
among the leaves of the plants which
it inhabits, are the analogies upon
which this personitication is based.
AS the measuring worm consumes the
heritage of the plants and causes them
to dry up, so the rainbow, which ap-
pears only after the rain, is supposed
by the simple-mindcd Indian to aus
q cessation of rain, and consequently
to be the originator of droughts, under
the influence of which plants wither
away, as they do under the ravages
of the measuring worms.
ut will be seen that the visible phe-
nomenon called the rainbow gets by
analogy the personality of the measur-
ing worm, while from the worm, in
turn, the rainbow gets it's function as
O god. OF this the cessation of the
rain on the appearance of the rain
bow is adduced as proof. The fading
Of the flowers is attributed to the rain
bow, which. consuming their imper-
ceptible existences, thus derives his
brilliant coloring, just as it is believed
that the measuring worm gets his
green, yellow and red stripes from the
leaves and flowers which 1t devours.
THE influence of this upon the Zuni
mind is to place the rainbow among
the malignant gods. 1t is frequently
painted on war shields and made a
demon to be propitiated, yet stunned.
When a rainbow appears in the sky
the Zuni Indians and those Of many
other tribes turn their backs upon the
beautiful sight and covertly imprecate
the u%nfriendly spirit"

AM Moon.

NJ. Stanislaus Meunier, an eminent
French experimental geologist, has
initiated the lunar surface in minia-
ture by exposing a plaster composition
wetted with water to the heat of a
stove. The escaping steam forms bub-
bles, which burst, forming the famil-
lar volcanic peaks and craters Of the
moon. The mimic volcanoes occur
along certain lines and In various
groups; tracts of the surface remain
at, like the "seas" OF the moon; long
lines of fracture r produced, and II

Tuberculin on Healthy Cows.

Careful tests were conducted by
Prof. James Law during the past Win
ter at Cornell experiment station.
"Taking all in all, there is nothing in
the records Of temperature that would
indicate, either at the time Of the test
or later. that tuberculin had in any
way proved inimical to the general
health" The decline in milk produc-
ton which followed is claimed to have
been not more than the natural fall
ing off. No effect of tuberculin was
observed on increase or decline of fat
in the milk. Prof. Law concludes,
so far as there is evidence before us,
everything points to the harmlessness
of a single test dose on a sound ami
NAL system, ven if such dose were
repeated several times. "-Orange Judd
