Farm Telephones.

Twelve months ago there were COM
paratively few farm telephone lines in
the country, but as the telephone itself
has been cheapening, the farmers have
become alive to its value. The State
of Illinois has been especially active in
the establishment Of these rural lines
The system is cheaply and substan-
TALLY constructed, each farmer con-
tributing poles and work in hauling
and setting poles, and an experienced
man has charge Of the placing Of the
instruments, which range in price from
$40 to $16. One system in the State
embraces nearly 100 instruments, with
two central stations. The farmers are
delighted with the result of their own
enterprise, as they say they can order
anything from spool Of thread to a
harvest hand without moving outside
their door. Merchants of the differ
ent towns connected with the system
hire delivery wagons to deliver such
goods as have been ordered, at regular
periods, the mail being taken around at
the same time. In one district the
farmers find their eighteen-mile long
telephone line of untold convenience.
They are able to order boats for trans
pOrtatiOn, and supplies, with a few
words spoken over the wire, whereas
formerly they were compelled to send
a messenger across Country.-GlObe-

Horses Die Of sungtrOke,

Every year there is a great mortality
among horses in this city during July
and August. 1t is so in every city. In
the first two weeks of July $50 horses
died in the streets Of Chicago alone.
Taking the country through the actual
monetary loss by the death of horses
from the effects of heat in one season
would reach an enormous figure.
Gases of heat prOstratiOn among
horses would be few if drivers would
only observe one or two simple rules"
said veterinary surgeon recently in
the Chicago Times-Herald. 1T is easy
to see when a horse is threatened with
prostration. The animal begins to
breathe in quick, sharp gasps, even
when standing still. Instead of per-
spring profusely his skin becomes dry.
The best thing to do when these symp-
toms are observed is to get the horse
into cool place and apply cold water.
Turning the hose on an animal in such
a condition is the best remedy / know
Of Pour cold water over the horses
body, and do not hesitate about using
enough. If ice is handy, rub some on
the animals head. II the horse has
such severe stroke that he has fallen,
put blanket or some straw under his
head and hold him down until he is
strong enough to get up and remain on
his feet.
Eat frequent intervals a horse that
has fallen on account of the heat will
make attempts to get I'm when he is too
weak to stand. These attempts only
weaken the animal the more. Keep
his head down on the ground and con-
tinue the applications of ice and water
until the temperature is reduced. Fre-
quently the temperature Of a. horse
laboring under sunstrOke will go up as
high as 107 degrees The chances are
that even after horse has been
brought to his feet again it will be a
dummy That is, he will not be as
responsive and intelligent as before.

delicate woman, wishes everything
about it neat, tidy and clean. Two
adjoining pastures with ten acres each
with the sheep changed every ten days
from one to the other will make a
good many more pounds of meat in a
year than IL the partition fence Is taken
down and the sheep confined to the
twenty acres. That, however, Is but
one reason why change Of pasture is
good for sheep The evil genius of the
sheep-its great enemy--is the variety
of worms that infest it; worms In the
nostrils, worms in the head, worms in
the lungs, worms in the liver, worms in
the bowels. With the exception of the
worm in the head and nOstrils, which
are tne larvae Of fly all the intestinal
worms Of the sheep, whether various
kinds of tape worms, lung or stomach
worms, are bred in the pasture. Hence
the more continuous the feeding Of
sheep in any pasture, the greater the
danger Of damage from worms
1t is necessary, therefore, not to have
merely one pasture, but two, even II
but hundred sheep are to be kept.

Horse Marks and Terms.

A white spot in the forehead is a
star.
A white face from eye to eye is a
bald face.
A white stripe in the face is blaze.
A stripe between the nostrils Is a
snip.
A white eye is q glass eye.
A horse has pasterns, not ankles, and
there Is no such joint as hind knee or
fore shoulder.
White below the pastern joint is
white pastern. Above the pastern
a white leg.
White around the top OF the hOOf is
a white corOnet.
A star, blaze or bald face can't be
anywhere except on the face. A snip
can't be anywhere except on the nose.
Amble, a gait like pacing, but slower,
in which the two legs on the same
side are moved together.
Appel the gentle tug on the rein
given by the horse at each step.
Group that part Of the horse back Of
the saddle.
Bore, to bear on the bit.
Bucking, leaping vertically into the
air with all four feet, and coming to-
gether on the ground
Elbow, joint of foreleg next above
knee, lying next to horses side.
Forearm, that part of the leg be-
tween the elbow and knee.
Forge, to strike the toe of the fore
foot with the toe of the hind one; very
often the result of bad shOeing.

Some drivers take the precautlon
of tying a sponge, piece Of cloth, or

horse. A better plan is 10 carry a

Change Sheep Pastures Frequently.

The Journal of Agriculture reminds
it's readers that there is an old motto
that we have heard from boyhOod,
namely, "a change of pasture is good
for sheep" 1t is a. motto that sheep
farmers in the West are disposed to
neglect. 1t is motto that will have
to be observed better than it has been
in the past If sheep growing is as prof
table as 1t is hoped and expected it
will be, and as 1t certainly will be If
this and other wise maxims are prac-
ticed. Every farmer who has grown
sheep has noticed the satisfaction with
which they enter new pasture.
Sheep, more than any other animals
on the farm, love variety and consume
a larger number Of plants. 1t is a
