WATERING HORSES.
An Important Duty Which Is Neglect
 ed Far Too Often.


 No detail for caring for horses during the summer is of more importance than supplying them with water. 1t is mat ter for regret that it is necessary to call attention to the neglect of working horses in this respect, but it seems necessary to do so. Many men who feed their stock literally, furnish warm places for them in winter and keep the stables as cool as possible during the summer, seem to forget that the team that is working under the burning sun in the field from morning until noon must suffer from thirst in way that is intensely agonizing.
 Any man who tries to work half d day in the harvest field without drink ing will soon begin to feel some of the effects of going without water when making severe exertion on a hot day, and will appreciate the condition of a hardworking horse under the same conditions.
 Sometimes it seems like q waste of time to stop team and take it to get d drink, but time spent in this way is never wasted, for the team will do  enough more to make up for the stop. There are places where it seems impos- sible to give the team drink between breakfast and noon and between noon and supper, but there is no shadow of excuse for leaving team hitched to the fence without water while the driver goes to his supper and then comes back to work the team until dark without water from noon until that time. Such a proceeding is not so common as it once was, but it is still practiced to some extent, and is the worst sort of cruelty to animals.
 Horses perspire freely and are the only domestic animals that do, and their need for water is increased as the amount of precipitation increases, and during the hot weather every effort should be made to prevent them from suffering from thirst, which is the worst sort of torture.-Farmers' Voice.

The end of the yard has sloping top, so that the pigs can lie out of doors upon the ground, and still be protected from the sun. The roof of the little house can be of matched lumber and left unshin- gled.--American Agriculturist.

A Windy We'll.

Arizona possesses some of the great
est natural wonders in the world, not
the least of which is this phenomenon
OF current of air issuing from or going
into the bowels of the earth through
sundry natural and artificial openings
made in the oarth's crust. Something
over a year ago a Mr.. Coufman under
took the drilling of we'll at his place.
everything went well to a depth Of
some twenty-five feet, when the drill
suddenly dropped some six feet and a
strong current of air issued from the
tole. The escaping air current was so
strong that it blew off the mems hats
who were recovering the lost drill. The
well was of course abandoned and left
10 DIoW but there are some peculiarities
about 1t that are worthy of observation.
The air will escape from the we'll for
days at time with such force that
pebbles the size of peas are thrown
out and piled up about its mouth until
it looks very much like the expanded
POb
it is accompanied by a sound much like
the distant believing of a foghorn. This
noise is not always present, because the
air does not at all times escape with the
same force. Again, there will be for
days suction current, unaccompanied
by sound, in which the current of air
passes into the earth, with some less
force than 1t escapes, and any light OBJ
ject, as feather, piece of paper or
cloth, will, if held in close proximity,
be Immediately sucked into the sub
terranean labyrinth of Aeolus. Just
the cause of this phenomenon no one
has yet been able to determine, but it
is supposed that there is an under
ground opening between the Grand
Canyon of the Colorado, which cleaves
the earth for more than mile in depth,
and the Sycamore Canyon, some eighty
miles to the south of it, of the same
proportions, but much shorter. This
would seem possible from the fact that
the current of air is always passing
from northto south or vice versa, carry
ing. of course, few points of the COM
pass from the true meridian, but al
ways in these general directions, as de-
termined by experiment, and then the
stratum underlying the quaternary is
of volcanic cinder. This is very por-
Gus. and in many places so-called bot
tomless holes exist,

A Spider Keeps Time to Music.


At a recent rehearsal of the Apollo
male quartet of Coldwater, Mich, q
large spider came slowly down his silk
en- thread to about the height of the
singers shoulders, where he hung sus.
pended for few minutes, then began
to move up and down in front of the
music rack. The second tenor, who
was leading the air, soon noticed that
the movements of the spider corre-
sponded with the variations of his
voice, up and down the scale, and in
perfect time. They then began series
of experiments and found that the spic-
er would ascend or descend about a
foot for every octave, and though the
melody was carried ever so lightly, and
the bassos thundered in their heaviest
tones, the insect could not be deceived,
but always followed the leading part
accurately and with the precision of
directors baton. All kinds of songs,
from Down in the Cornfeld" to THE
Bridge" were sung to test the ability
OF this wonderful little being, and each
time he came out of the conflict not
beat behind. At last the four voices
struck an awful discord, and instantly
the spider scurried up his improvised
metronome and disappeared in the
chimney.

A Smuggling Scientist,

A Berlin periodical has the following:
In 1906 Humboldt and Gay Lussac met
in Paris to pursue the Investigations
as to the compression of air. The two
men of science found it necessary to
obtain a large number of glass tubes.
These were very dear in France at the
time, and the enormously high DUTY
forbade their introduction from abroad.
But Humboldt was nothing daunted.
He ordered the tubes from a German
glass works, and instructed the manu-
facturer to close them up at both ends
and af11x to each a label with these
words: "Deutsche Luft." German
air.) The air Of Germany was an ar
ticles which did not appear on the tar
if, and the custom house officials al
lowed the tubes to pass, and they were
thus delivered free of duty into the
hands of the two men Of science.-El
