= DARING FEATs 6f HORSES.
How They Learn TO tiimi, AimS.f Per
pendicular Cliffs.

SO extraordinary as to seem lncred-
ibIe are the feats Of horsemanship,
Which are part Of the many others
that are daily performed in the Italian
cavalry service They IRE Sh,iched
for by many reliable witnesses;
among them the British military at
tache at Rome. Long and careful
training of strong. intelligent and
courageous horses is the explanation
of these seeming lnapossibilities. They
could be accomplished by we'll trained
horse under a coed rider anywhere,
particularly i'll the West by our cow
boys; but are specially practised III
the Italian Army because of the AL
pine climbing the cavalrymen must
frequently DO in times of war;
The training begins in the cavalry
school Tor di Quinto, in the Cam
pagna, and at the school at Piedmont.
The horses selected for this work are
chiefly English and Irish hunters, al
though some are Italian bred. They
are light; yet very powerful. ard pos
sess an unusual degree of intelligence.
At Tor di Quinto an old grayel-pit,
with sides varying in height from six
to forty feet, is used for the first
training. At the beginning the horse
is made to ascend and descend the
bank al its lowest part, but gradual
lv, as its confidence in itself and the
sureness of his footing increases, the
ascents aud descents become higher,
until at last the horse will put his
forefeet over an almost perpendicular
bank, sit down on his quarters and
slide down many feet, giving when
near the bottom great leap, which
is calculated to make the hair of the
average spectator stand on end.
Such is the strength. agility and
fearlessness of the horse, however,
that almost invariably he lands safe.
ly. But much, Of course, depends
upon the rider; the latter must have
confidence in himself md in the AMI
NAL under him. If he possesses this
confidence and unfaltering nerve he
can successfully take one of these
trained and sure footed horses through
precipitous regions where the risks
seem quite appalling. The Irish hun
ters make, one the whole, the bes'
mountain climbers Even in Ireland
without special training, they otter
do some astonishing climbing.

Cream KaIsinC by DiIutiOu,

The idea OF the old process of cream
by dilution is to dilute the milk with
an equal or greater bulk Of water, the
mixture is allowed to stand two hours
or more and then skinned by draw
| ing off the skimmllk. Il is claimed
that this method has several alvan-
tages, especially when varions paten,
contrivances are used that are now
being sold by travelling agents. The
fallacy OF such claims, was exposed Il
year or two ago by the New York Ex-
pertinent Station and published in
these column, at the time. Now, the
Vermont station announces the re-
suits Of exhaustive tests. The dllu
ton method left ii the skimmilk

Canada on:Sunday night, and IL she
had made good connections, would
have reached Blair this a. M, but they
grew impatient and so they came over
here to meet her with the young baby
boy, his grandson. He reports that he

Dixon, having been named after I the

his whole family are great musicians,
