While all horsemen are interested in
everything that has to do with better
ing the condition of the feet of horses,
there are many who are slow to believe
that any marked improvement in
shoes and their manufacture will be
introduced in the near future. There
is a new horseshoe that takes in a GER
tain portion of the horses hoOf. This
is much commented ON, and, to the
amateur, looks attractive. 1t viii stay
On longer, and will, it is claimed, keep
the horses hoof in good shape. This
IS all very well for Il little while, but a
soon as the hoof grows past certain
Ioint the feet are crowded and the horse
either favors them or goes lame al
together While there is room for i'm
provemcnt in horseshoes, it is safe to
say that the inventive genius of the
human family or not, up to date, pro.
yided anything better than the old
fashioned shoe that has been use for
generations.

I,nssulnS.

Riverhead, l.. T., Feb 16,-The River head Town Agricultural society, more widely known as the Worthwhile club, has made the discovery that 'possum ranches are being conducted in Suffolk county. The industry is carried on for the purpose of raising stock for bounty jumping, A few years ago the board of supervisors offered a bounty on cer- tain wild animalsS which were ah an- noyance to farmers. Twenty-Five cents is paid for 'possums' ears, and like bounty on woodchucks, weasels and minEs. Since this law was passed mem- bers Of the Worthwhile club say there has been distinct increase of the ami mals instead of decrease.
 The other day a school boy named Rice of Patchogue was convicted of ounterfeiting possums' ears with the aid of catskins and obtaining the boun- ty, but members of the club say this is nothing compared with the fraud and deceit practiced by others to ob- tain the bounty. Last year about $2,500 was paid out by the county in bounties, to say nothing of the fee of ten cents allowed the supervisor for issuing a cer- tificate. The members say the bounty should be done away with, and they have appointed John T. Downs and Henry Lewis Hallock a committee to make such request to the board of supervisors.

The Story of
 Puritana.

Prof. Dixi Crosby, NJ. D., IL. D., who for thirty-two years was at tho head of Dartmouth Medical College, belonged to tho famous Crosby family of physicians, which for several gener- ations has furnished moro distin- guished medical men than any other family in America. His father was Dr. Asa Crosby, of Dartmouth, who procured tho charter of tho State medical society, of which he was for thirty years Q conspicuous member; one brother, Dr. Josiah Crosby, in vented the invalid bed and themethod of making extensions of fractured limbs by adhesive strips; another brother, Dr. Thos. k, Crosby, was chief surgeon in Columbian College Hospital during the war, and later professor of animal and vegetable physiology at Dartmouth College; while Dr. Dixi Crosby himself was the inventor and discoverer of various important improvements in medicine and surgery, including Q new and unique mode of reducing metacarpo- phalangeal dislocation, opening of ab- scess at hip-joint, etc., etc.
 At the early age of twenty-four his extraordinary skill and success in over coming disease had already attracted the attention of medical men through out the world, and won for him tho highest honors. His greatest achieve ment was the discovery of an original method for perfectlng and compound ing in permanent form what has be- come known as his "prize formula" " and which, under tho name of Puri- tana, is legally protected.
 The foundation of this remarkable medical discovery consists of simple New England roots and herbs, and the original family recipe for it has de- scended to the long line of Crosby physicians from their Puritan ances- tors. Its peculiar vegetable compost tion rendered it necessary to brew it whenever needed in the early days of its history, and after the scattering of the Puritan families to remote locali- ties, where the necessary ingredients were not to be found, many attempts were made to put it up in permanent form, all of which failed until Dr. Dixi Crosby discovered means and methods. the result of which is: Natures Cure compounded in the laboratory oi (N,--, ~,xxs, La

long q hundred where he did not expect
to exceed twenty-five. His tendency to
haste, If he has it, will also be developed
and exaggerated. The suburban roads
yesterday were thronged with bicyclers
many of them riding at their utmost
speed. straining every muscle, as if it
were a matter of life and death to pass
everything else on the road.
The man who develops this character
on a bicycle will not change it when he
dismounts. There was too much of it
in the United States before wheels were
invented Fortunately bicycle riding
must force the development of counter
acting traits not less marked. The man
who rides along thoroughfare throng-
ed with other riders, as we'll as with
horsemen and vehicles, will have forced
on him sooner or later the absolute need
of caution, of GOODNESS, of never relax
ing presence of mind 1t is only a ques-
ton of time when those who attempt to
ride in the streets of a city without
these qualities win be killed or MANNED,
and they are essential in riding every
where So that the general use Of the
bicycle must develop them in high de-
gree.
AS the horse made the difference be-
tween the character of cavalier and pc
destrian peoples, so the wheel will diff
ferentiate our after-comers from us. 1t
is to be hoped that it will cure them of
our habit of rushing and of reckless
ness, but the chances are that it Will

OF course, there is some humorous
exaggeration in this, but it is clearly ev
ident that the time is not far off when
the use of the wheel will be almost uni
versaa, and 1T is equally evident that ma
tional character must be deeply affected
by it.
If there is any marked tendency to ex-
