illuminated Rnnrs.

Another form of beacon for mariners
of smaller dimensions, but hardly less
important, is the illuminated buoy
These floating lamp holders, placed in
an estuary where the available channel
is often only narrow one. bounded by
mud or sand banks only few feet below
the surface of the water, are invaluable
to shipping, Hitherto the illuminant
chiefly employed has been compressed
gas, necessitating high pressure reser-
yoir and COMPRISING machinery.
Mr.. Wigham, whose name has long
been known in connection with light
house apparatus, has introduced a min
eral oil lamp which can be fitted to
any existing buoy and will burn for a
long period at very small cost The
maintenance of one form of lamp can
be kept up at cost of one penny for "a
hours, and as no COMPRISING machinery
is required this is the only expense
plus the original cost of the lamp. The
approach to port-such as that of Liv-
erpool, for instance, where a ship has
to enter through long avenue Of buoys
could by this invention be almost as
we'll lighted as a city street Cham

Lamenese In Horses.

Fetiock lameness is manifested by a
short. jerky step, the animal stepping
on the toe or often hopping ON three
legs. Lameness caused by sore or en-
larged tendons is similar to shoulder
lameness, and is best examined with
the animal at rest, as then the swelling,
heat or pain is generally detected along
the course of these parts. 1t is more
difficult to diagnose foot lsmeness. The
best thing is to pick up the foot and tap
it lightly with a hammer and notice
the finching when the sore spot is
touched. If the animal is nervous, ii
will require great care to distinguish
between the actual pain and the nerv-
business. Hip lameness is known by a
peculiar hopping gait. The animal
while trotting turns the hook of the
lame leg in and the stifie out. Stifie
lameness shows itself by the difficulty
the animal experiences in elevating this
part and bringing it forward, which il
usually done in a dragging fashion.
The sfifie animal either has the lame
leg stretched out behind or stands firmly
on the sole. In the first case he cannot
back and in the latter be cannot move
this lame leg forward.

Range Breeding.

Horse breeding on the range has many
advantages. says @. f. Curtis. In the
first place, it is regarded as the best and
least hazardous Of range stock breeding.
In times Of severe storm, when heavy
losses of cattle and sheep occur. the
ranchman has but little anxiety or I'M
easiness about his horses, and the per-
centage of loss from this cause is only
nominal. Where horses and cattle and
sheep are combined ON the same ranch,
as is generally the case, the cattle and
sheep always get the benefit of any hay
or any other feed held in reserve for
carrying young stock over the winter.
This is owing to the fact that the horses
and colts are better able to shift for
themselves. The high altitude, the rare
and exhilarating atmosphere and the
clear, sparkling water of the gravel bed
ded streams or mountain sides combine
to make favorable conditions for devel-
oping horses of superior excellence and
quality. This is particularly noticeable
in we'll formed, clean limbs and good
feet, unusually free from blemighes. 1t
is also claimed, and believe with good
ground, that these horses are remark
able for their lung power and endur-
ance. The surroundings and environ
ment all tend to produce horse Of
marked vigor and stamina, and COM
bined with this we now find on all OF
the best. ranches we'll directed efforts in
the line of careful selection and good
breeding.

huMeue HORSE DOCTORS.
Characters Who Are Going Fast and
should Go Faster.

Characters Who Are Going Fast and
ShOHId Go Faster.
AS of old, says J. NJ. Cochran in The
National Stockman, there is still in al
most every rural neighborhood an indi-
lvidual who poses as doctor of horses
and other domestic animals, and also as
of old the same sorry quack and hum
bug is he. Bear in mind that l do not
speak of the many men of ability, at
tainment, common sense and skill who
give their minds to what is really a
great science, that Of the veterinarian.
Only the quack and humbug need take
this to himself.
He may be an alleged medicine man,
livery stable or horse auction hanger on
from town, retired blacksmith, play
ed out farmer or dilapidated auctioneer
anyhow, he is doctor Of horses, and
when his duties in the higher line will
admit also of cows, hogs, sheep, dogs
and cats, though dignity and the "code"
require some of the profession, however,
to draw the line on dogs and cats. He
knows the symptoms of few common
diseases and remedies therefor, but as
for the causes of diseases and the anato-
my and physiology Of animals treated
his ignorance is as great as his preten-
sions. He is an advocate of the knife,
the blister, the soaring iron and the
drenching bottle for all ailments.
In enlightened medical and surgical
science the tendency is toward easing
pain and combating diseases through
the human system by gentle methods.
The allopaths and homeopathic are for
getting old quarTels and drawing to-
gether, and the heavy dosing Of one
and absurdly insignificant dosing of the
other are compromising on middle
grounds of reason and common sense.
The same reform is found in the treat
ment of domestic animals. knew an
intelligent and prominent horseman
who administered mild remedies in
small doses to the mother for the bene-
1T of her sick little colt Indeed the
system Of 1000 pound draft horse
that has not chewed or smoked tobacco
or dallied with the strong waters may
respond readily to dose of medicine
that would have no effect on that of a
puny man Injured to the many abusive
things of civilized life.
But DR.. Quack's practice is purely
heroic. When called in, he sizes up the
situation, rolls up his sleeves and pro-
ceeds to business. Perhaps be draws off
a bucket of blood or gets ropes, throws
the poor horse heavily to the ground,
binds it and sears its quivering flesh
with hot iron or Iaoerates it with
knife. Or he may, without knowing
what he is doing it for, introduce poi
soned setons to produce bideous sores.
Or he may anchor the animals head to
high beam, pry the neck of big bot
tie between it's jaws and force down its
throat quart of stuff strong enough
to strange and burn out the insides of
40 men. Thousands of good horses are
disfgured, ruined or killed every year
by such ignorant and outrageously cruel
treatment. If horse owners do not
choose to employ competent physicians
and surgeons, they should read up in
some approved lines of information and
do their own doctoring.

A more pitiful sight than a mother and

dungeon, could not we'll be imagined.
There are thousands of mothers and their
babes who lie shackled by disease in the
dungeon of death.
Without knowing it, or having the faint
est comprehension of 1t, the fault lies with
the mother. Too many women enter upon
the responsibilities of wifehood and moth
erhood while suffering from weakness and
disease of the delicate and important or
gans that make wifehood and motherhood
possible woman who suffers in this way
cannot be capable wife and competent
mother. Before entering upon the duties
and responsibilities of these positions, she
should see to it that her health, both gen

Remarkable Tamencss of Animals In
the Yellowstone Park.
The slaughter of birds has almost en-
tirely removed one of the delightful ao-
compartments of life in the rural east
the music of the feathered songsters
Apropos of this. it may be said that one
of the most pleasant features of the drive
through the Yellowstone National park
is the apparent intimacy between man
and the animal and bird life in the
park. Thanks to the wise and stringent
regulations, no shooting is allowed with
in its boundaries.
"The result, says an English tour
list, sis positively charming. Hundreds
of little chipmunks, with their gaudy
striped backs, scampered impudently
about or peered at the passing coach
from the roadside. The squirrel did not
bolt for the nearest tree, but nodded a
welcome. All bird life treated us like
wise. Even the lordly eagle lowered
near, and the wild turkey stalked I'M
concernedly through the rank grass. We
were fortunate enough to see fine
specimen of the wolf tribe. He stood, a
beautiful creature, and watched us out
of sight, showing only curiosity, not
fear. Another time were perceived doe
and fawn grazing by the road Not un-
til we were within a few feet did they
seek the shelter of the woods, yet not
to fly. They simply moved aside. Here
at least mankind was regarded as a
friend-one who could be trusted. The
only animal who ran away was brown
bear. He turned tail at the sight of a
coaching party, yet it was quite com
mon thing for bears to approach close
to the hotels at evening to feed on the
refuse thrown ont 1t was an after din
ner relaxation for the guests to watch
them feeding. They munched and dis
puted the choicest morsels, for the most
part indifferent to the company. Only
when we became inquisitive and ap-
preached too near did they retire, and
these animals were perfectly free and
unfettered in their movements. 1t may
read like fairy tale, but it is solid
fact. Troy Times.
