arms are gone at the shoulders, the right
leg is entirely gone and the left leg is
chopped off just above the knee. Two
thirds Of the head is cut off, beginning at
the throat under the chin and cutting
aslant upward, taking Off the left ear and
leaving about one half of the right ear.

ing the assumption that the victim was
choked to death The cutting was done
with very sharp knife, and probably bv
some one who did not know much about
the body, because the cuts were not
straight.
The coroner's physicians said they be-
lieved from certain marks that the man
was shot, then hutchereu and thrown in
the water. probably three days before.
The arms. legs and face were gone.

HINTS FOR

To make the largest and best horses
out of your colts keep them growing
from first to last.
Horses are naturally active, and
they like freedom as much or more
than any other domestic animal.
Whether you breed full bloods,
grades or native stock, never use an
inferior animal for breeding purposes.
The actual cost of keeping added tc
the service fee of the sire should give
the actual cost of the horse at maturity.
Sheep need plenty of time to drink.
If they do not go to the tank as soon
as turned out, let them stay out
awhile.-Farmers' Review.

TRAINING THE HORSE.
G~entleness Mixed with Firmness L.
Proper in All Cases.

AASN = -
Proper in All Cases.
The work of training young horses
should be made systematic and prac.
teal to be made effective. This is
seldom the case, in the methods prac.
ticed by farmers. 1t is necessary, too
to study the disposition of the colt
and treat it accordingly. Because g
horse is vicious and stubborn, it is nc
reason that he should be treated in
brutal manner. Gentleness with firm
ness is proper in all cases. A trainer
says: If a horse go too fast the untu
tored driver yells whoa. simply mean
ing that the animal should lessen hi.
speed. If he paw the earth, toss hi:
head, stamp with Impotence, or dc
anything he ought not, the same wore
is Numbered into his ears. Any word
used for so many purposes is not good
for much in case OF emergency.
The convenient whoa should have
but II meaning. not to lessen the
speed of the horse, but to bring MIN to q
full stop. When it is given it should
never be allowed to pass UNDECIDED
be d~isobeyed or half-obeyed. Does
your horse always stop at this word, OF
do you have to stop him with a pull al
the lines? \ horse is not safe if he
can be stopped in no way except BY
pulling at the lines, for a rein may
break or a snap may unlock. Many 6
runaway might be prevented were al
horses trained to know and obey thi
one little word.-Farmers' Union.

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.
1t Ii in n Prosperous Condition
Dig the West.

~ I" a.
Throughout the West.
A careful review Of the cattle situa-
ton in the western states reveals the
fact that the cattle industry is in the
most prosperous condition, by far, it
has been in for many years. Upon near
ly every farm throughout the great corr
growing states there is an inclination
to raise from five beef calves upward,
depending upon the number of cows
that the farmer or breeder can purchase.
The facts Of the matter are. the western
states are very short on breeding cows,
and for this reason the demand for this
class of stock during the next few years
is likely TO be strong and urgent. There
is a vigorous. forward movement among
farmers and stockraisers all along the
line. for extending breeding operations
of live stock. both pure bred and stock
that is well graded. If this course is
followed for the next two or three years
We may look for a much better class Of
cattle for market than we find at tie
present time. In view of these changed
conditions and a liberal demand for this
class OF stock. we are safe IN aging
that the rearing of live stock and the
feeding of same is bound TO become
more surely the best investment that a
farmer ard feeder can make. Grain
raising in all nf the central and west
ern states has largely exhausted the
farmers. and pow farmers are realizing
the fact that they must turn back to the
live stock industries in order to preserve
their lands. This course will be helpful
in more than one way. It diversiies
the line of farming operations. and we
think, where cattle are raised in smaller
punches, the breeding and care is bet.
ter; and of course this will bring a bet
ter class of cattle to market and better
prices will result.-Prairie Farmer.

not walk or help himself at all; for two

he was bloated, was for that reason almost
unacceptable and could not get his clothes
on. The paralysis was so complete as to affect
the face and prevent him from opening his
