DOUBLETREEP PROBLEM EXPLAINED
which think will solve the question to
any intelligent mind
In both diagrams the solid lines show
the position of the doubletree when the
horses are working even, and both are
the same distance from the wagon
tongue, as center line of draught.
Diagram / shows a doubletree with
holes bored on a straight line, and the
dotted lines show the off horse to be
ahead, and yet brings each horse the
same distance from the center line of
draught, and therefore neither horse
has the advantage
Diagram 2 shows a doubletree with
holes bored out of line, "as they are
usually made" and the dotted lines
show the off horse to be ahead also, and
farther from the center line of draught
than the nigh horse, and therefore gives
the horse thati is ahead the advantage.
My reason for saying that the horse
behind pulls the most is simply that the
holes in the doubletree are bored
out of line, and anyone doubling this
can easily demonstrate it by placing
one end of the doubletree ahead, and
measure from the clevice pin to the CEN
ter line of draught.
In making doubletree, bore the
holes in straight line and have less
balky horses.-Farm, Field and Fire

Shot Nt q Dance.

Kilkenny was all excitement Thanks
giving eve over it's first tragedy. One
man was fatally shot and others seri.
ously injured. Ted Murphy was act
ing as floor manager at a dance given
by the w. o. w. Attending this dance
was William Mullen, who insisted on
dancing without paying. Words fol-
lowed, resulting in Mullen being eject
ed. About 8 o'clock in the morning,
when the dance had ended, Murphy
entered saloon in the town, where
Mullen was lying in wait for him. He
was attacked, but defended himself.
Mullen's brother took a hand in the
tight and struck Murphy over the head
with a heavy instrument. Mathew
Murphy, who was present, interfered,
but was dealt heavy blow over the
head with stove poker. He fell just
outside the rear door of the saloon.
While down he was shot, the bullet
entering just below the heart. He was
given medical attention, but little hope
is entertained for his recovery. Wm.
Mullen received bullet in the arm,
but who shot him is question, as it is
known that Murphy did not carry a
revolver He is not rquarrelsome
man, but highly respected in that COM
munity.

The HOG and Its Nose.

The nose of the hog is an index of
the hogs nature and condition. Its
chape and texture show that it is de-
signed for nuzzling, for roofing and
for overturning things, and this is 1.-The
nature OF the brute" to perfect ion, says
an exchange. The condition of the
animal is in many ways shown in the
nose. In the healthy hog the nose is
moist, cool and pink in color. To the
touch it is elastic. In disease it
changes in appearance, becoming pallid
or purplish, dry, hot and rigid, or else
tlabby. Many an experienced breeder
can tell at glance the general condi-
ton of hog from the condition of it's
nose. When your swine grow listless,
and do less nuzzling than usual, and
seem to be doing or sleeping more
than usual, inspect their noses, and
you are likely to find in them the indi-
cations of fever and other troubles.
Willmar tribune., 1898-12-07
HINTS FOR STOCKMEN.

Keep no stale stock on your pastures,
but let them be less in quantity and Of
better quality, and will see better re-
suits.
If we are naturally inclined to hogs
it would be very uuwise to buy land
that would not grow corn, because corn
and hogs are inseparable.
To begin to fatten lean hogs with rich
food from the start is wasting. Full
rations of corn or peas ought to be left
for the finishing of the process.
If at the end Of six or seven weeks the
piggies are growing nicely and look
we'll, we may think of weaving, but it
should not be determined by their age,
but how they are eating and growing,
and their ability to take care of them
selves.
Another important point in success
full fattening, and the sole end of hog
breeding is to obtain large quantity
of meat, of good quality, in as short
a space of time as possible. A cheap and
quick fattening depends upon the
health and age of hogs, as we'll as the
season and condition of the food.
Peas sown early in spring as possible
make good feed for hogs. This crop is
not appreciated by our farmers as it
should be, and they probably will be in
the near future. They are ready for
use just when the pasture begins to
fail and before any other farm crop il
avallable.-Western Plowman.

CATTLE FOR FEEDING.
Bureau Of Animal Industry Explalns'
How to Select the Most PRONE
1sing Animals.

Practical and experienced feeders,
who breed and purchase steers for fat
tening, observe striking differences in
the aptitude of animals of varying types
and makeup to lay on flesh readily and
III such form and quality as to COM
naand the highest price on the market.
1t requires a well-trained eye to detect
in all cases the possible variation of re-
suits in the store or stock steer; but
there are some distinctions that are
easily detected. There are certain types
of cattle, for instance, that never feed
profitably under any conditions, and
it is quite as important to discriminate
against these in the feed lot as to be
able to recognize the excellence in other
types.
The characteristics that make the
profitable feeder are naturally more
difficult to detect in animals in stock
condition than when fattencd, but not
| withstanding this there are number
Of indicat tions that are fairly reliable.
Though the young steer may be COM
paratively thin in flesh and temporarily
lacking the thick, even covering of the
back and ribs so essential in the finished
| carcass, he must nevertheless present
that blocky frame and stoutness of
build, accompanied by short, straight
legs, wide back and loin, well-sprung
| ribs, fullness back of shoulders and in
| Hanks. prominent brisket, full neck
vein, wide chest, and well-rounded bar
rel, together with good, soft, mellow
handling skin and fine, silky hair, CIV
| ing what is termed the thick, mossy
coat, without coarseness, and with it
all good, strong, vigorous head, clear,
full eye and quiet temperament. The
| Importance of an even covering of flesh
and good handling quality can hardly
| be overestimated. The bone should be
moderately fine and clean. Coarseness
either in the bone or about the head
and horns is particularly Objectionable,
as it indicates coarseness of texture
throughout and a greater percentage of
offal and cheap meat, as well as a ten
dency to sluggish circulation. The head
should present certain refinement,
finish, and vigor that in a measure in
ocate general quality and superior ex-
cellence of finished product, though this
refinement must not be accompanied
by delicacy.-Prof. C. F. Curtiss, il
Fourteenth Annual Report of Bureau
of Animal Industry.

Early Maturing HOGS.

Young pork is always best, as we'll as
the most easily produced. Unless the
naimal is wanted as breeder it is not
usually kept until year old The
breeds that mature early will make
more pork at less cost at six to eight
months old than will those that keep
on growing two or three years and at
tain very heavy weights. But it is still
better to keep the breeding SOW Of
some of the coarse, large-boned hogs
and then grow litters of pigs from
her when mated with some of the small
breeds that mature earliest. The half
breeds will make more pork than will
the thoroughbreds.

Under the heading "A Question to Be
Solved" writer asks: When two
horses are pulling load hitched on to
doubletree, as usually, with the bolt
in the very center and the doubletree can
move freely forth and back, and one
horse keeps his end a foot ahead, which
horse pulls the most-the one ahead or
behind?
Ianswer the one behind when pulling
on doubletree the way they are usual

Notes on Sheep Management.

1. scabby sheep should never be
triven upon public road. 2. Sheds in
which scabby sheep have been kept
should be thoroughly cleaned, disin-
fected and aired, and should be kept un-
used for at least four weeks (better
two months) before clean sheep are
placed in them. 3. Fields in which scab-
by sheep have been kept should stand
vacant at least four weeks (better six
or eighty before being used for clean
sheep. 4. A drenching rain will fire.

DENMARK.

The school board of Svendbork has
made arrangements with a dentist to
keep the teeth of poor school children
in repair free of charge. This depart
ure came about in the following man
ner: In 1896 a dentist offered to visit
the public school building once week
to examine and treat the children's
teeth, provided the school would fur
nish the necessary tools and medicines.
The offer was accepted with thanks,
and in the course of one year 6S3 out of
total of 1, ,237 pupils had their teeth
treated by said dentist. 1t was found
out that less than one-fifth of the pu-
pills had normal teeth, and that chill
dren who were subject to ricketts, and
anRmia had three times as many poor
teeth as healthy children. The per
cent of attendance has increased since
this reform was introduced, and the
school boards of other localities are
taking up the matter for discussion.
