PLAIN HORSE TALK.

The record os endurance made by the
saddle bred horses during the last cam-
paign is of the greatest interest.
There is an increased interest in sad
die horse breeding. and we hope soon
to see fewer insists under TIE saddle.

strips and mosquito net does not cost
much, and is a great preserver Of horse
flesh.
Too much care cannot be taken of
the feet. 1t is much easier to keep the
feet sound than to cure them after they
have become injured by neglect or care

Do not let the hot weather come and
find your stables badly ventilated.
Horses cannot be kept healthy and in
the best condition if their quarters are
close and full of foul odors.
Ifyour horses feet have become hard,

A rare thing in the southern Tyrol,
the finding of q skeleton in the Ade-
melio glacier, is recorded in European
papers. The skeleton proved to be
that of an American tourist, named
Ruth, who disappeared in 1890. These
assures cleave glaciers at all angles.
and it is very easy to slip into one OF
them. When once in j. is hardly pos
sible to escape without help from above,
and the warmth OF the body melts the
ice around, so that the victim slowly
descends by the weight of his w body
into the depths of the glacier, and gen.
orally staryes to death. On looking into
these assures the most beautiful play of
light IN blue and green and rainbow
colors is seen. But these are best en-
joyed from the safe vantage ground OF
the upper, outside world. rather than
down in the depths and close at hand.

Riding Down an Eagle.

If you wanted a live eagle how would
you try to catch it? In Turkestan, &C.
cording to the author of The Heart Of
a Continent" the natives ride eagles
down on horseback We had seen two
eagles on the ground in the distance,
and as soon as the kirghiz caught sight
Of them he set off wildly in pursuit.
They rose, of curse, On seeing him,
but he went galloping down the valley
after one of them till gradually it sank
to the ground. 1t was. in fact, gorged
with the flesh of the carcass il had been
feeding on, and could no longer fly. The
kirghiz dismounted. seized the bird.
bound his waist-cloth round and round
the body and wings till he had made it
up into a neat parcel, and then tucked it
under his arm, mounted and rode back
to me. He said that. if it turned out
to be a good one for hawking, he might
get zoo rupees for it.-Youth's Compan.

GREAT LEGAL VICTORY.
held by the United States

The California Fig Syrup Co., of San
Francisco, has just won q legal victory
which is OF utmost public interest, as II
establishes j~udicially a fact long recog,

title Of an article is valuable property,
entitled to the same protection as chat

pany mentioned manufactures an ex-
cellent laxative which has been extern
sively advertised and acquired a valu-
able reputation under the name Syrup
of Figs" or Fig Syrup" Trading on
the reputation of this remedy other
manufacturing concerns applied the
same name to laxative medicines made
by them. The California Fig Syrup
Co. took the matterin the United States
courts and obtained a permanent in
junction, of which the following is the
text:
1T is thereupon ordered, adjudged and

SHEEP EATING WEEDS.
Fhey Are Far Better Scavengers in
fhe Orchard in Early Summer
Than the Hogs.

The American Sheep Breeder points
ont the fact that many plants usually
ciassed as weeds are in pastures often
eaten by sheep. either to give variety to
their diet or for the tonic effect on their
systems. 1t mentions the common dan
delion, parsley, yarrow. and even thor
oughwort, as desirable for this use. In
England sheep growers purposelv sow
yarrow when laying down pastures for
sheep, and also the Earrow-leafcd plan
tain. Most of these are somewhat bit
ter to the taste. and the liking for what
is bitter seems to be a popularity of the
sheep, which often leads it to eat leaves
that are poisonous rather than medic
inal. 1t is possible that all these plants
have medicinal qualities. bat the sheep
does not know enough to doctor itself
with them, as sheep are often poisoned
by eating leaves of laurel when allowed
to run where that poisonous plant
grows. We have known sheep TO DO poi
soned when an overdose of cherry leaves
was probably the cause. The leaves of
the cherry, peach, almond, and of the
common oleander all contain prussic
acid, and all are poisonous when eaten
in any quantity.
1t is chiefly, we think. when pastures
are dried up, and the Sleeps appctites
are clamOrOus for some green thing.
that these fresh leaves are most attrac-
tive to them. Yet we hate to leave even
dried leaves of the cherry. almond or
peach where sheep could eat all they
liked of them. The craving for some
thing bitter probably explains why
sheep will eat the tender shoots of
nearly all d]cciduous trees, which are
almost invariably bitter 10 the palate.
With regard TO anything ~UnCleanly as
regards animal cNcrcmCnt or blood. the
taste of the sheep is more refined anc
sensitive than hat of any other farm
animal. But it un~qreStionabIv docs
have Il likin" for what is bitter to the
taste. and will eat the small. worIny
apples that a hog will turn up his nose
at. while the hog will pick its favorite
food among filth that no sheep could
be brought near enough 10 touch. In
the early summer. when the small. bit
ter. wormy apples are falling. the sheer
is. therefore. 4 much better scayenge-
in TIE orchard than is the hog.

They Save Much Heavy Lifting and

The old proverb, Make your head

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE.

Little onions are now boiled anG
served on toast, after the manner OF
asparagus. This affords 4 change from
the stereotyped way of serving, and will
usually be found most acceptable.
Turpentine ard linseed oil in equal
parts make 4 good mixture for furni.
ture. For sun streaks a solution, one
third sweet oil and two-thirds alcohol,
is an excellent mixture. \ soft cloth
slightly dampened with kerosene viii
restore the polish.
To detach 4 book plate, cut a piece OF
flannel the exact size of the label; dip
in cold water, wiring it out, and apply
it to the label; cover it with 4 clean
piece OF blotting paper, then'pass a hot
iron over it several times, and the label
may be easily removed.
Linen will last much longer if soaked,
and then steamed or boiled without
rubbing. Let it boil about five minutes
Rinse very thoroughly. Did you ever
notice iron-rust spots in your linen foI
which you could not account? Those
were caused by the %laundress who WAS
careless about rinsing and left the soap
in.
OF curse every good h~ousekeepe,
sees that the stains are removed from
the linen before it goes into the wash.
If it is not convenient for you to use
lemon juice and salt to take out iron
rust spots, it may be easier to buy
lemon salts TO keep on hand for such al
emergency. The salts are somewhat
stronger than the lemon. Grass stains
will always yield to cream of tartar If
the spot is wet and well rubbed.
y dainty way to prepare radishes for
the table is to cut 4 morscl of the tip
of each, leaving at the other end the
heart leaves and 4 bit OF the stem. Cut
the skin down from the tip in five or six
places. bending each piece slightly out
yard to simulate the petals. If this is
carefully done, the radish takes on the
appearance of n hal?-OpenCd flower. OF
curse, the raGishes with the red skins
give the prettiest color effect, though
the new yellow ones are not without
beauty.

TALK ABOUT Y
How Rain and Excessive soil Mo:s-
turc Affects Its Value as n
Feed for Live stock.

I have noticed recently that there
have been some inquiries in regard &c
red clover, as TO whether il Will cause
scours when fed to young stock.
of course in a very wet season, such
as WAS experienced in Missouri last
season. clover. as well aS grasses,
would be inferior in nutrition COM
pared with crops grown in Il dry season,
either fed dry or green. It NAY con
tain properties when grown in a wet
season that will u scours. | am
sure of one thing. that in 4 wet season
clover does not contain very many fat
producing constituents, for it is as
much as stock can do to hold the fat al
ready gained. even when the clover and
grass growth is luNuriant; while in a
dry season, even with Il shortage, stock
will fatten.
Clover is the best foliage plant we
have. Notwithstanding the foregoing
conclusions, especially for cattle. There
is some objection to it for horse feed.
but by proper care in cutting at the
right time. and curing without any eN-
posture to dew or rain, this trouble can
be entirely overcome. The objection to
clover for horse feed is in the fine fuEz
on the leaves and stems of the plant,
which is carried into the lungs of the
horse by the breath while he is eating.
] have learned of late by actual eN-
perience that if clover is cut early
enough those particles will adhere to
the stems and can be swallowed and
digested without any bad effect what
ever. To avoid this trouble clover should
be cut before many of the heads begin
to turn brown. and should not be ex'
posed, when partially dried, to dews.-
