Contraction of the Hoof.

Contraction of the horses hoof is usu-
ally result and symptom of disease, at
tending on many different maladies, in
which the hcof shrinks from the heat,
dryness and disuse. 1t may also occur
from simple idleness in a stall; from
overgrowth of the hoofwaii, which curis
in for want of support from the sole and
moisture from the laminae; from hard
ening and shrinking of the heels as the
result of rasping, OR of alternate soak
ings and drying; from undue pairing of
the heels, bars and frog. thus removing
the natural supports, and from the eff
fects of the shoe and nails in preventing
the normal expansion in growth, and in
removing the frog and sole from use
and pressure. Thus produced it is not
a direct cause of lameness and feet can
be shown in which the two heels over
lap each other without such a result

three bands, 4, B and C., are yellow.
The first band, A, is small, and does not
show so distinctly in the living speci-
1uen as in the greatly enlarged picture.
If the bee is filled with honey the bands
all show more plainly. and if the bee is
crawling up pane of glass in the win
dow it looks somewhat transparent
where the yellow bands are. If very
empty, as in the case of dead bee, you
may not notice the yellow bands.
These bands are not uniform in ap-
pearance. The front part of each of
the three bands, as at \, B and c, is n
distinct yellow, the other part as at J
and X less so, because this part is COW
cred with a kind of hair or feathers.
These hairs or feathers are sometimes
rubbed off, as in the case of robbers or
diseased bees, and then all the bands
of black bee and the black bands of
an Italian bee will be q shining black.
By selection in breeding, bees have
been produced that have more than
three bands. Five-banded bees are
quite common in America, for this in
crease of yellow bands has been made
in this country, and some bees have the
abdomen yellow to the very tip.-Nat
tional StOckman.

EGGS with Soft shel,..

1t is usually the inactive breeds of
fowls which at this season show the eff
fects of indigestion by laying eggs with
soft shells. The remedy is to make
them scratch among straw and chaff
for the grain they get, and mingle with
this enough lime in some form to make
the material for their shells. They
should also be well supplied with
gravel, as this is neces sary to enable
them to grind the food in their crops.
Such hens are almost always too fat,
which is usually sign that their feed
has been largely corn. which is fat
tening and is besides very poor egg
producer.

Serving CelerY.

Not many people know that bunch
of celery in the hands of 4 good house
keeper is one of the few things about
which there is absolutely no waste
From an ordinary bunch of celery of
five stalks pick off the large leaves
wash them, and place in 4 quart of
water, letting the quantity boil down to
about half pint; when cold bottle this
liquid and keep in n cool place to be
used for flayoring gravies and soups
Next, the fine roots; wash and boil the
same as potatoes, trying them with n
fork TO tell when done. Cut them into
thin slices, add a finely cut onion, and
make into salad the same rs the or
binary potato salad. The large and
coarser stalks of celery cut into inch
lengths, boil, cover with a cream sauce.
and serve as n vegetable. The delicate
stalks use as ordinarily for relish.
and the pretty yellow leaves will be
found to make a pretty trimming for
the meat dish. This uses every scrap
of the celery itself. But the careful
housekeeper will not even discard the
string which ties the stalks together.

THE BICYCLE PROTECTOR.

and it has proved so successful that it
will probably supersede all other SIM
liar appliances. 1t is made of light
strips or battens of wood, so enlarged
in the center that the pedals are free
to revolve. This enables the bicycle to
be wheeled along-an important con-
deration-instead of being dragged
and tossed about in the efforts to carry
it. There is block of wood fixed under
the frame on either side. so that the ma
chine can be left anywhere, resting in
nearly vertical position. The frame
is hinged at one end and is thus read
lily removed and is supported on the
bicycle by couple of straps. For pro-
lection from the weather a waterproof
cCTer can also be used

THE FARMERS POULTRY.
1t Never Received So Much Attention
ut


Poultry on the farm never received
so much attention as is now being given
to it. Not so very long ago those farm
ers who paid particular attention to
poultry were looked upon as being
''cranks" and wasting a lot of time
on work that the women should be al
lowed to attend to. These men were
wiser than their generation, and TO
them the poultry industry owes much.
They built good poultry houses, took
care of the chicks, provided proper
food and made money out of their
fiocks; and others, becoming convinced
that it pays to take good care of hens,
followed in their footsteps, until now
the man who neglects the hens is the
one who creates remark.
There is no doubt that the hens have
helped out many a farmer during the
years of depression, and now they are
more profitable than ever before.
1t is not necessary for the farmer to
start out as a poultry fancier in order
to make a success of his poultry, but the
one who begins by taking good care of
the poultry he already has will, before
very long, be looking after pure-bred
stock, because he will want to get the
greatest profit, and will become con-
vinced that pure-bred poultry is SUI
perior to any mongrel stock hs may
have.
One breed is enough for farm, and
when all the hens look alike the flock
is much more attractive than it would
be if made up of mixed colors.
White Plymouth Rocks, Barred Ply
mouth Rocks or White Wyandottes are
all good breeds for the farmer. They
are easily bred to uniform color and are
the best all-round fowls we have
Brahmas, light and dark Houdans, Leg
horns or Langshans are all good fowls
and are probably the best for the farm
er who gives good care to his fIocks.-

BICYCLE INSURANCE.
This Species of Underwriting Now Is
a Thing of the Past.

a Thing of the Past.
From all appearances the bicycle in
surance company, which was so nuner-
Gus about two years ago, is Il thing of
the past and has gone to join the ranks
of the insurance organizations, long
since dead, which undertook to protect
against burglaries, loss of situation and
other peculiar ills to which the human
race is liable. All of the above men
toned have passed out of existence
not from the common cause, the lack of
patronage, but because of the positive
careleSsness and oftentimes absolute
dishonesty of those whom they intend
ed to protect.
Several years ago when the first in
surance company was organized to pro-
feet bicycles against loss by theft, offer
ing to duplicate the stolen wheel at
the expiration of certain time. and in
the meantime to loan the loser Il wheel,
all for the sum of two dollars, the riders
of this country were rather skeptical,
but it soon became apparent that the
concern in question was honest in its
intentions and thriving business was
readily worked up. Other concerns
started up and a bicycle insurance bust
ness became a factor in the industry
Then the spirit of dishonesty crept in,
and losses became alarmingly frequent.
Inscriptions riders had their wheels
insured, and then either hired some
one to steal them, or else allowed them
to remain for hours at time in pub
lie places, where they would present a
ready chance for anyone who felt in
ciined to secure a wheel free of charge.
The natural result was that the insur-
ance companies which were not over
honest made a practice of lodging their
obligations at every possible chance.
while those whose officials valued their
regulations were obliged to pay up and
look pleasant. The failure of one or
two of the largest concerns about a year
ago gave black eye to the business,
but it was not until very recently that
the last of the bicycle insurance COM
panies passed out of existence by reason
of n rigid enforcement of the insrr-
ance laws requiring companies to make
large deposits with their home state
governments.-C Cycling Ca

IN OLD PHILADELPHIA.
Quaker City Once the Greatest Town
on the Continent.

on the Continent.
In 1774 Philadelphia was the largest
town in the American colonies. Esti-
mates of the population, which are all
we have, differ widely, but it was prob
ably not far from 10000. A single city
now has larger population than all
the colonies possessed in 1874, and
there are in the United States to-day
1O4 cities and towns of over 10000 in
habitants. Figures. alone, however,
however, cannot express the difference
between those days and our own. Now
q town of 10000 people is reached by
railroads and telegraphs. 1t is in close
touch with all the rest of the world.
Business brings strangers to it con-
stantly, who come like shadows and so
depart, unnoticed except by those with
whom they are Immediately concerned.
1t was not so in 1774, not even in Phila-
delphia, which was as nearly as posi-
bic the central point of the colonies,
as well as the most populous city.
Thanks to the energy and genius of
Franklin, Philadelphia was paved, light
ed. and ordered in way almost I'M
known in any other town of that period
1t was we'll built and thriving. Business
and prosperous. and lived well. Yet,
despite all these good qualities, we must
make an effort of the imagination to
realize how quietly and slowly life
moved then in comparison to the pace
of to-day. There in Philadelphia was
the center of the postal system of the
continent, and the recently established
mail coach called the Flying machine"
journey to New York in the hitherto
unequaled time of two days. Another
mail at longer intervals crept more
slowly to the south. Vessels of the
coastwise traffic. or from beyond the
seas, came into port at uncertain times,
and after long and still more uncertain
voyages The daily round of life was
so regular and so quiet that any Incl
dent or any novelty drew interest and
attention in a way which would now be
poSSible.-Scribner'S

HINTS FOR sTockMEN.

Horses are often choked down by a
too tight-fitting collar. Always have
the collar fit.
The swine that are sheltered from
winds and cold eat less food and make
better gains.
The horse that has been eating dry
feed all winter would likely be bene-
flied by good purge.
The hog is just as appreciative of
kindness as any animal, but very often
gets little petting.
The druggist can make you blister
or put you up medicine for any ordi-
nary animal disease.
If feeding places in winter are shell
tered cattle viii eat ten per cent. less
feed and do ten per cent. better.
The horse that is paid to keep, I'M
less you can find a removable cause for
the trouble, should be got rid of.
One seasons experience with clover
pasture and the swine breeder would
never be without one in summer.
Wolf teeth do not cause blindness, we
wculd say to an inquirer. Dentition
will often affect the eye temporarily.
Leaving nails or splinters where an
animal in the stall can be injured by
them is a very careless piece of bust
ness.
Infuse new blood into the herds and
see what per cent of profit it will pay
you. Stock, like everything else, is
cheap, too.-Western Plowman.

What is your business?' he asked

''Sausagemaker, but my name is not

everybody in good humor.
Have YOU any prejudices against

''Why? Have they ever done you any
harm?''
"Oh. dey don't neffer vas run Offer me.
but dey vas all der time reaching out
So and the juror extended his hands.
and clutched about in the atmosphere
with his fingers.
do YOU think that your feeling
against railway companies is so strong
that it might influence your verdict in
this case?"
''Oh, no, would do what is right"
''Would you believe the testimony of
n motorman as soon as you would that
of the PLAINTIFF"
''Vell. I wouldn't belief eder of dem
unless somebody else said so. too"
Suppose the testimony was evenly
balanced; just as strong on one side
as the other; would your verdict be for

''In dot case / wouldn't give verdict

that followed, and the juror was ex-
cused for cause.-Detroit Journal.

The conditions are that a number of
fast riders be placed around the track,
equal distances apart, and at the re-
port of the pistol each man must start
with the object of overhauling the
rider in front Of him, who, when caught.
retires. There is time limit. and the
rider covering the greatest distance in
that period without being overhauIed
Is declared the victor
