A bunch of 13 small pigs were secured
in small inclosure. One man worked
the pump while another sprayed, care
being taken to thoroughly wet the fore
quarters and the inside of the ears
where the lice are more abundant.
Forty pigs were treated in this way.
The whole time required, including the
preparation of the emulsion, did not ex-
ceed one hour. Allowing IS cents per
gallon for oil and one cent for soap the
cost would be 14h cents. The lice be-
came inactive upon being wet, and were
found dead the next morning. Hairs
containing eggs or nits were secured
the next day and were closely watched
for some time, but they failed to hatch.
To be effectual the application must

KINDNESS TO HORSES.
It Pays In Dollars and Cents to Trent
Domestic Animals Well.

~ rays III boAars ana cents to Trent
Domestic Animals Well.
1t pays in dollars and cents to be kind
to all domestic animals. On this SUD-
ject contemporary says: An ugly
temper is an expensive thing on farm:
this is especially true in the handling of
horses. One of the most successful
breeders of driving horses who has
built up profitable trade in family
drivers, his orders exceeding his sup.
ply, says his success has been very large
ly due to the fact that he never allows
blow or a cross word in the stable
yard or pasture.
Bad drivers make bad horses. A horse
cannot be screamed at and cursed with
out becoming less valuable in every par
ticular. To reach the highest degree
of value the animal should be perfectly
gentle and reliable, but if it expects
every moment that it is in harness to be
scolded and struck it will be in con-
stant state of nervousness, and in its eX-
citement is liable, through fear, to do
something which is not expected. 1t is
possible to train horse to be governed
by speaking to him almost as complete
ly as to train a child and when thus
trained the horse reaches his highest
value. When horse is soothed by the
gentle words of his driver. and we have
seen him calmed down from great en-
citement by no other means, it may be
fairly concluded that the man who has
such power over him is a humane man
and a sensible one.
A gentle horse is worth more than 1t
would be if not gentle. What is termed
viciousuess in horses is frequently moth
ing but sheer timidity, and almost in
variably is the result of rough trent
ment. Horses would not give way to
fear when man approaches them il
they had always been accustomed to re-
ceive kind and humane treatment.
Young colts should be taught not to
fear the approach of n human being.
They are fond of being petted, and with
constant Kindness will become quiet and
docile. A nubbin of corn, handful OF
grain or little sugar offered them oc-
casionally will gain their confidence,
and they will gradually lose all fear.
The spirit of trustfulness thus inspired
and the resulting gentleness of dispo-
sition will last through life unless ad-
verse influences are allowed to inter
fere

HINTS FOR THE HOME LAUNDRY.

The difficulty experienced by house
keepers generally in having washing
dcne at home causes many who can i'll
afford the expense to send their clothes
to laundries, where inferior soap and
injurious washing fluids are used,
while if proper attention is given the
work it may bS done quite as satisfac-
torily in the home laundry.
Assert the clothes, divide the table
and bed linen from the wearing apparel,
and the fine garments from the colored.
First immerse the white articles in
hot water and wash carefully with
Ivory soap. After all are taken through
the suds, put in tub, pour boiling wa
ter over them, let cool, wash out in clear
water, rinse in blue water, wiring,
starch and hang on the line. The col
ored clothes should then be washed
in the same way, without scalding
When all are dry they should be taken
from the line, sprinllled, folded evenly
and laid in the clothes basket. The
ironing must be done with hot, clean
irons, and the clothes hung up to air

SECURING BICYCLE SAFETY.
Expensive Methods Adopted by
Leading Manufacturers.
The Bicycle Presents Greater Engineering
Problems Than a Locomotive. ana Is So
Light That the Greatest Care Must Be
Exercised In Its Construction.

Among the thousands of men and
women who are riding bicycles to-day,
and securing untold health and pleas
ure from the exercise, few stop TO think
what marvellous engineering and me-
chanical triumph the modern bicycle is.
The machine seems simplicity itself,
and yet somehow unless it is of high
priced construction, and often not even
then, it will give an amount of trouble
and annoyance through breaks and
trifling defects that will rob the rider
of all the pleasure he has anticipated.
The bicycle is not simple of construc-
tion. A locomotive or a twenty-story
building presents no greater problems
to the engineer, designer and machin-
ist than does this light, flying combina-
ton of steel and rubber that has come
into our lives. Few realize this, and the
result is the reckless way in which
many have invested their dollars in
what were said to be high grade BIZ
cycles, only too often to find at the end
of brief period that all that is left is
mass of rusty junk of little or no
value, or bills for repairs that more
than double the original cost.
Every one of the nine hundred pieces
Of which the modern bicycle is con-
structed must be designed to meet with
safety the strains that will be put upon
1t; it must have no extra weight, or the

One of the Best Trains to Be Found in
the World.

"If you will go down TO the Union Station
almost any evening now you will see the
finest mail train in the United States, or
elsewhere for that NATTER" said Chief Clerk
r. N. Coates of the Railway Mail Service
in charge of the Chicago and Omaha fast
mail. The cars have nearly all been re-
modelled, renovated, and painted anew.
The third set of cars is now in the Burling-
ton company's shops undergoing treatment.
All the old oil lamps have been removed
and instead the entire train of five cars is
lighted with Pintsch gas. There are seven
lamps of four burners each to each car.
The cars have been furnished with new
trucks, or the old ones taken apart and re-
fitted piece by piece. All the most modern
appliances in the matter of couplings and
air bra kes help to give the flyer the best pos
slble equipment of any train eXtant.
The new fast mail engine No. $50, built
especially for service on trains No. and s.
by which Uncle Sans trains on the 60
between Chicago and Omaha are known, has
been trained into fine service, and others of
the same pattern will soon be on the rails.
Ihe governments train now makes Omaha
in eleven and one-half hours, running 500
miles between a. m. and , 80 p. m.

remember of single instance when Uncle

Would Eat the General.

When Gustavus of Sweden was be-
sieging Prague, a boor of extraordinary
aspect gained admittance to his tent,
and offered, by way of amusing his
majesty, to devour large hog in his
presence. Old Gen. Konigsmarcls, who
was in attendance, at once suggested
that the man with the Gargantuan ap.
petite should be burnt as n witch:
whereupon the boor, whose feelings
were hurt by this observation, ex-
claimed: If your majesty will but
make that old gentleman take off his
sword and spurs, l will eat him before
