A Family Horse

Prof. Eugene Davenport says: If a
man wants job not as easy as he
may imagine in advance, let him 60
upon the streets of any town and try
to buy a first-class family horse. He
will find scores of them that owners
or agents will swear by as being the
best family horse ever wrapped in
hide; but buy him, take home and try
him, and in ninety-nine cases out OF
hundred he will prove to be wrong in
some vital respect. Nothing but con-
slant family use, with the most kindly
and careful treatment, will ever make
a family horse in the true acceptation
of the term A family horse must be
not less than seven to eight years old,
with several years OF proper expe-
rience, possession of his entire conf
dence, and a. good, sensible brain to
start with. When any Individual
recommends a family horse as being
absolutely reliable when it is less than
seven years old, take the statement
with grain Of salt and save your
family from accidents and possibly
death. A perfect family horse is
cheaper at $500 than an unsafe one as
a gift. II is always safe proposition,
in buying a family horse to test him
for week. to be driven by a we'll
posted, strong man, to save accidents

/. In the first trial. corn and oats
gave larger gain than peas and oats
2. In the second trial, peas alone
gave the largest gain, followed by the
mixture, corn and peas.
8. The second trial is more satisfac-
tory than the first, because 1t covered
a longer period Of time, and because.
from the method of feeding, a more di-
rect comparison of corn and peas was
obtained. 1t Is suggestive fact. also,
that the gain made by the groIp on
corn and peas is intermediate between
the gains made by the other two
groups, as 1t affords additional evil
dence regarding the superiority OF peas
over corn.
4. During the second trial, ground
corn could be bought for ST. per ton,
while peas cost from 6oc to 66c per
bushel. AS a result, though the peas
gave the largest gain. the corn gave
the cheapest gain.
8. According to the results OF the
second trial, II pea meal is valued at
$40 per ton. ground corn would be
worth $17.35 per ton.

Turn Next.

Through a giant wild man is New
Jersey making its latest attempt to let
the world know that such state ex-
lists. Two weeks ago ii was with tales
of horror concerning a vicious harvest
bug whose spiteful caresses were
bringing death by scores to the rural
ties. When the dream smoke envelop-
ing the states agent on Park row had
rolled away the carnivorous pest dwin-
died into few harmless, little red
bugs. The pile Of dead was found TO
be composed of one. and the corpse
was that of a man who had tried to
remove one of the ruddy insects with
rusty fence nail and caught blood
poisoning in the act.
The pipe responsible for the wild
man has just been lighted, and its child
has all the size, ferociousness, and 9TH
er attributes of terror which could be
expected to come Of a good, fresh
smoke. He is Z feet tall; he has hair
falling below his waist, and a beard
fully as long. When he runs, which
he does with the speed of a deer"
these hirsute attachments stream be-
hind him in manner, as Jersey poet
put 1t, "of banner torn by flying"
His eyes are fierce and blcodshot. his
brows shaggy. One account AYERS that
sparks of real fire drop out of the eyes
as his giantship scoots through the for
est. One truthful native stands ready
to swear he gave pipe Of tobacco to
the monster, who thereupon lighted
the weed with his optic flame. This
mans neighbor, hearing the story, says
he now knows how his hayfield caught
fire during a rain the other night
Other attributes of the giant at this
period OF the pipe, are great love

Corn ~ Psas for fasssniaS LAmba
The Ontario Experiment Station re-
Gently conducted tests to ascertain the
relative value Of corn and peas for fat
tening lambs. The report Of the tests
says: Two experiments have been
made with lambs for the purpose of
comparing these two foods, and though
the results are somewhat contradic-
tory, they are given here for what they
are worth, and another report will be
made when further tests have been
completed.
In the first experiment, eight lambs
were divided into two groups, making
four lambs in each group. One group
was fed equal parts by weight OF corn
and oats. and the other group was fed
equal parts by weight Of peas and oats.

The average meal ration was slightly
over one and one half pounds OF meal
per lamb per day. In addition to the
meal ration, both groups were fed equal
quantities OF red clover hay. In the
second experiment, change was made
Twelve lambs were divided into three
groups OF four lambs each. One group
was fed ground corn. another group.
ground peas; and the remaining group,
equal parts by weight of ground corn
and peas. At first, the lambs were fed
one pound of meal per lamb per day,
which quantity was eventually in
creased to a pound and half per lamb
per day. On the average the lambs re-
ceived 1.37 lbs OF meal per lamb per
day. In addition to the meal, all
groups were fed equal quantities of red
clover hay. The first experiment con-

Tuberculosis In Dairy Cattle.

IuDeECutObh IN Dbtky Sbtsscs
A report Of the Illinois Board of Live
Stock Commissioners says: The ex-
perience gained through the Tuber-
culin tests made in dairy herds by the
Board since the efficiency and accur-
acy of tuberculin as diagnostic agent
has become establised, points very
clearly to the fact that throughout the
dairy districts Of the State tuberculosis
prevails among the dairy cattle to a
considerable extent. While in many
herds only a few cases have been dis
closed, in a large number of herds a
considerable PERCENTAGE has been
found affected. and there has been In
many OF these herds very conclusive
evidence of the development and
spread of the disease among cattle
through contagion. Whenever the dis
ease effects foothold in herd there
is constant danger of its spreading to
other members, thus causing, In the
course of time, great pecuniary loss.
and no cure ever having been dis
covered for the disease, the only means
Of effectively eradicating 1t from the
herd is through the destruction OF the
affected animals. Owing to the ina
bility of the best qualified inspectors
to discover the existence OF the diseale
in its earlier or incipient stages in any
animal by a physical ante-mortem ex-
animation, 1t follows that the only
means Of discovering all of the animals
in herd that are affected is ielia-
Bile diagnostic agent, which Prof. Koch
has given the world in tuberculin. Ex-
perimentauon during several years
with this agent has demonstrated that
II is very nearly an infalhble test Of
the presence of tuberculosis in the in
ternal organs of an animal when there
are no clinical manifestations OF the
disease, and the Board has used tuber-
culin in conducting tests to discover IL
herds are affected, with most satisfac-
tory results.

but he never appeared to such advantage as in
the character of Father Whalen, in "The Parish

like story, the priest is called upon to picture
every human emotion, and Mr.. Sully does it ar
tistically. In one scene he is the rollicking,
iovial, gOod.natured man. In another the
crushed, heart-broken man; then the determined
man; again the pleading man, beseeching with
a smile on his lips and tears in his eyes. Finally,
