Caste in Cuba

A Spaniard was born in Spain. His son,
Vho was born in Cuba, Is not Spariard,
but Cuban. If Cuban should go to
Madrid when he Is weeks old and spend
al his life in the palace he would still be
a Cuban, ana not quito as good as Span
lard. If Spaniard should go to Havana
when he Is 2 weeks old and spend all his
life in that city or upon plantation, he
would still be a Spaniard and enjoy dis
tinction and social position which Cuban
can never attain. The sons and daughters
of Spaniard are Cubans if they are born
in Cuba; but the sons and grandsons and
great-grandsons of Cuban must always
be Cubans, no matter if they were born in
Madrid and spend their whole lives in that
city. No Cuban can ever become Span
lard, no matter what happens to him, and,
from the Spanish point of Wow, he is q
degenerate.-The Chautauquan.

When you read the news Of victory,
OF battles fought and won,
How the army of invasion
Made the hated Spanish run,
Did you ever pause a moment,
While the Dons receive their dues,
And sort of take a tumble
To the boys who write the news?
Perhaps you think it easy
Amid the cannons' roar,
To rattle off good copy,
While your paper cries for more.
Let me tell you, gentle reader,
War reporting is no joke;
For your soul may quickly mingle
With the raging battles smoke.

And woe in a woman's breast.

the scenes and substance of very uncom-

Margaret has singing pupils, and among
them Sir John Croft. But Valerie has more
than talent she has genious, and must not
teach; she must only play the weirdest and
sweetest strains upon her Cremona before
great audiences-some day, alas! some day.
And at last that day came. 1t was not

one day there came to London, Paul Waldo

In whose valor he delights;
He ofttimes makes them famous
TwiXt darkness and daylight.
He longs to spread in detail
On the flaming scroll of fame
The way that they won glory
But he never tells his name.
He dies to serve his paper,
His life's the price of news;
There's none to sing his praises,
And few can fill his shoes.

TAKING OFF HIDES.
May Save You Many Dollars
in the Future.

Let US give few hints, which, if
carefully observed, may save many dol
lars in the future. In slSinning beef
hides and calfskins keep the back of
the knife close to the hide, and draw
it tightly with the left hand. This is a
simple rule, but by following it the
liability to cut OF score is considerably
lessened. On the foreleg the knife
should go down to the armpit, So
called, and then forward to the point
of the brisket. On the hind legs the cut
should be made from the hoof of one,
down the back Of the leg, semicircular-
ly across from one to the other, and on
to the hoof. The throat should never
be cut crosswisc, and. the horns and
tail bones should always be removed.
The operation of sailing is equally
important. To salt hides thoroughly a
water bucket full of good salt should
be used to each 60-pound hide, the
quantity for larger and smaller hides
being in proportion. After this they
should he rubbed and rolled up. Inde-
pendent of cuts and scores hides
which are not taken of in the manner
specified ape classed as No. 2s, and if
dried on fences or exposed to the sun
or weather are only fit for the glue
maker.
A butchers skinning knife should
always be used and no employe should
be permitted to take off hides with
out one, as the loss from one hole in a
hide would buy several such knives.
These few rules are simple enough, but
their adoption means great deal to
the country slaughterer.-National
provisioner.

THE HORSES FOOT.
IL IL IL Not Kept ia an Excellent Cea-
dition the Animal Will soon
BE Practically Useless.

In horse strong foot has the
fibers of the hoof very distinct, SO
much SO that they resemble in appear
ance those of easily split timber. But
hoof of this kind, if not kept moist
and pliable, soon becomes almost as
hard as iron and is liable to render the
foot lame and tender, without reveal
ing the cause of the lameness. When
it is hurt and locally intlamed, trouble
some cruptions around the coronet
are liable to appear.
A thin hoof" is one which has a
thin wall. 1t may be perfectly shaped
in every way. but is peculiarly liable
to get cut of order either from attach
ing the shoe. travelling on hard ground
or during excessive drought in sum
mer or of moisture in winter. In near
ly all cases the bottom of thin hoof
is ragged. and when the shoe is re-
moved the whole verge is seen to be
thin.
A narrow-heeled foot is, in some
cases, reasonably good, but in others
is inclined to various bad conditions,
and when tampe.ed with, as is so often
done by blacksmiths in shoeing, is al
most certain to become hoofbound.
A hoof of disproportionately large
size is in most cases accompanied by
slenderness and comparative weak
ness of limb and is a good indication
of inability for brisk or vigorous ac-
tion. A horse with high-heeled foot
is subject to unsteadiness of action
and is liable to stumble and to sprains
in the coffin or pastern joints. while
low-heeled hoof renders the animal
a bad Traveller.
A fat foot. shaped like an oyster,
usually has many rings or wrinkles
and usually requires hollow-shaped
shoe. In many cases, for want of
sufficiently strong wall. much diff.
Guilty is occasioned in shoeing in secur
ing proper fastening for the shoe. and
often renders the animal unfit for fast
work or work on hard, stony roads.
When hoof is smooth and tough.
of medium size, neither too hard
and brittle nor too soft. without
wrinkles, with the heel firm and
in no way rotten or spongy, with
the frog horny and dry, with the sole
somewhat hollow, like the inside of
dish. let the color be what it may
such foot will ne arly always turn out
good, although good judges object to
too many white feet, preferring dark
or black hoofs.-St. Louis Republic.

HOGS AND THEIR WAYS.

The squealless hog is the most thrifty
and profitable one, for it never has to
squeal for food nor from abuse.
To get the full value of skim-milk in
pig feeding. mix it with grain or
shorts ration. This is both true and
important.
Build the hog houses so they will be
light, give them southern front; the
sunlight and warmth will add much to
comfort and health.
Clover is fine for hogs, it is the grass;
but clover alone will not fatten hogs in
satisfactory form. Clover is good, but
is not the whole thing"
The prevalent notion among farmers
that brood sow should be kept in
low flesh is contrary to the best expert
ience. Give an abundance of succu-
lent food.
Pigs have no relish for real cold food
or water. In summer it is better for
them to drink water that has stood in
the sun long enough to get much
warmer than when drawn from the
we'll.
Don't neglect to providein some way
constant supply of fresh water for
the hogs. The idea that the hog is
partial to everything that is dirty has
long been exploded. He appreciates
rs much as other stock supply of
good water.
Contagious diseases cannot be alb
solutely prevented by the most healthy
system of feeding and caring for hogs,
but if they have plenty of healthy food,
good grazing and pure water they are
far better able to resist the assaults
of contagious disease and escape the
dangers of any others.-Rural World.
