Mr.. Bonner bought Maud S. in 1880

well or went lame forever. In curing
his own horse Mr. Bonner made the
remarkable yet simple discovery tha,
most lame feet were caused by tho un-
even pairing Of the horses hoOfs rs the
shoes wore put on. The horse had to
walk on the side OF his foot; after a
while the foot became lame, the knee
got twisted and the horse was useless
for service. So, Dir. Bonner perfected

general use today, and about which he
was willing to talk for hours with con.
genial spirits on his stock farm at

the keynote OF norse-shoeing.

There were a few very hot days dur
Ing the week ending July 10, but the
average temperature WAS slightly be-
low the normal. The range of tenn
porature was between SO and 100 do

There were frequent showers during
the week, especially over tho central
and eastern counties, whore in places
the ground la too wet. Over the north
central and western counties, the show-
many places are suffering for rain
Rain which began falling after most OF
the reports were mailed, may have az
forded relief. Over the greater por-
tiOn OF the State, the moisture cOndi-
tiOns are now very favorable.
Some damage WAS caused by hail and
high winds, but 1t was confined to small
areas.
Reports on cotton, while not wholly
favorable, arc very promising. The
crop is small, healthy, clean and bloom
Ing freely; lice continue to infest It,,
IN places, but arc doing no serious in
Jury. a few report the plant growing
too much TO weed, others as not grow
Ing at all, especially on rcd lands in
the western counties. Sea-island cotton
never looked better.
The corn crop continues to suffer
from bud worms and the larger corn
stalk-borer. Drought has also affected
the crop seriously over large areas, but
on the contrary, In places, the crop is
very fine. Old corn is practically all
laid by.

WHY ENGLAND is AFRAID OF RUS.
SlA.-Ole important reason why EaR-
land ought not to assume an offensive
attitude towards Russia, if it were
other wise desirable for her TO do 80, Ia
the weakness OF her army. A war with
Russia would not be naval war. 1t
would necessarily be land war, and
England, 1T Is we'll known, with her
present force and her policy Of volun-
tary enlistments, could not Dut more
than thirty thousand men into China
This was asserted only the other morr.
ing in the House Of Commons, and the
government did not contradict the
statement. Indeed, 1T is perfectly vel
understood that it rests on the author,
ity OF Lord Wolseley himself 1t /,
hardly worth while to enlarge upor
the deplOrablc situation In which Eng
land would find herself if chs wcr,
called upon to face Russia with q force
OF 10000 men. Russia has probabl,
already many more troops than this IL
Manchuria. The result of war, then
between Russia and Great Britain
undertaken under existing conditions
would be the total destruction of Brit
ish commerce In China, and the inyas

OF India. And In considering the DOS
sible effect OF tnch war we must bear
In mind the altitude OF tho people ol

an attitude would be OF immense assist
ance to Russia In the invasion that
would Immediately follow the breaking
out OF war over China. The facts
which British statesmen arc facing are
stern and hrca!ening, and what clamor
there is In England for dealing oiYens

The DESTRUCTION OF SPRUCE In

about 100000 acres Of primeval spruce

measure, to the acre, or 5000, 900, 900
feet In all The demand for spruce for
paper pulp, addod to tho amount re-.
qutred FOR lumber, has reduced this
area to 100000 acres. The consump-
tion :of ppruce for pulp is increasing at
tho rate OF 10 per cont. year. The
mills OF Now York and Now England
make 100000 tons of papor-pulp each
year, requiring moro than 100000, ,OOC
square feet, board measure, and stri D.

This rapid destruction Of the avail.

policy has prevailed OF cutting the
