have not only found it of considerable
practical value, but we are sure we
would prefer ii o an enclosed pen, save
possibly in the of very vicious
animal, where pr, ably the cable would
be very much out of order.
In the accompanying cut but one
end of the cable is shown. Two heavy
posts are set about 60 feet apart and
are thoroughly braced or stayed.
Those we used are about ten inches in
diameter in the smallest, and we find
them none too large - in fact,
larger. rather than smaller, ones would
be preferred. 1t is surprising what
strain is brought against these posts,
even by bull attached to the cable
with his ring.
The cable is passed through the posts
about nine feet from the ground. At
a distance of about four feet from the
post it will be observed that an OK ring
is spliced into the wire. Our main OBJ
ject, however, in putting the rings in
at either end was to prevent the bull
from coming closer to the posts than
is safe. If allowed too. close, there is
danger of his becoming entangled and
then breaking loose.
We use an iron pulley on the cable
similar to what is shown in the cut.
/ have no doubt that there is a
great deal in the proper training of a
bull for such wire. / should not rec
ommend any one to pull an old bull on
such cable and expect the experiment
to be entirely successful, because,
though the chances are favorable, il
would not be safe save in the case of q
bull that is very easily managed, but If
the bull is trained to such wire when
a calf, and grows up thoroughly ac,
customed TO it, / believe that the ma
jority of the bullkeepers will be so
thoroughly pleased that they will use
the wire for exercising altogether. II
one desires to make his own cable, he
can do so just as well as to buy ii.
would recommend that seven or nine
strands of No. 10 galvanized wire he
used, and be twisted with considerabl
evenness so as to be smooth Our
cable is hand-twisted and is as salts
factory as though machine made.

REMAINING THE BIRDS.
English Names Being Given Some
American Species by the Smitbsoninn
Institution.

English Names Being Given Somo
American species by the Smithsonian
Institution.
"The Birds of North and Middle
America" by Robert Ridgway, chief
ornithologist of the Smithsonian in
stitution, is the name of one of the
most remarkable publications of the
new century, says a Washington spe-
ciaI to the st. Louis Globe-Democrat,
Some eight months ago, Prof. Ridg-
way, to employ his own words, realiz-
ing the fact that English is fast be-
coming the language of commerce all
over the world, and that the demand
for plain English terms in all walks
of life is growing stronger day by
day, decided, that of all sciences, or
anthology was one in which English
could be employed to the best advan-
tage. He was then preparing the
work above mentioned, which gives a
summary of the birds of North Amer
lea as far south as Ecuador, and, find
ing that there were some 5000 spe-
cies of birds on this continent, known
| only by their scientific names, of
Greek and Latin derivation, he de-
| cided in view of the fact that very
| few people, aside from ornithologists,
are acquainted with birds by their
| technical names, which are, as rule,
| difficult to pronounce, and impossible
| to remember, to undertake the task
| of giving English names to all of the
aforesaid 5000 or more species of
American birds, popularizing sci
ence that, for this reason alone, has
long remained dull ana unattractive.
The book just published is a monu-
ment to his forethought, and thing
altogether new in science. In it the
| North American birds are given by
their English names, such as 'canyas-
back duck" "blue jay" wren"
"crow," etc. Prof. Ridgway had to
invent English names for the 5000
birds above mentioned, but so far
there have been no criticisms passed
on his taste in the matter, result,
no doubt, of his having striven to in
vent for each bird n name that would
be short, easy to remember, and at
the same time appropriate and de-
scriptive. This is the first time such
thing was ever undertaken in sci
ence. and had it occurred as late even
as so years ago, it is safe to say that
the Latin-worshiping savants of that
day and time would have thrown uT
their hands in horror over such an
innovation.
The scientific men of this city are
however, rapidly reaching the con
clusion that the best way to interest
the masses in science is to strip it ot
its mediaevalism. The result of Prof
Ridgway's work will be watched with
interest by Washington scientists
many of whom are in favor of apply
ing the same general principle tc
zoology, palaeontology and geology
and of using English in place of the
long Latin names, which very few
people care to learn or to remember

DAIRY SOILING CROPS.
The Time VIII Come When Every
Farmer who Wants to Succeed
VIII Plant Them.

An old adage has it that closing the
barn door after the theft of the horse
is not the best method of preventing
burglary. Yet it is held to be worth
while as a discourager of further pill
fering. The dairyman who this past
summer has seen his cows shrinking,
feels inclined to shut the barn door.
How may he do this best? If he has
planted soiling crops like peas and
oats, Hungarian millet, and the like,
and has been supplementing the dying
pastures with green feed in the barn
or yard, he has closed the door be-
fore rather than after the theft.
Moreover, the necessity for the sum-
mer feeding of grain is greatly less
ened.
The Vermont experiment station
has for many years experimental with
soiling crops, and recommends to
dairymen the large use of summer
ensilage and oats and peas sown
at weekly intervals, and fed during
July and August. Ensilage is prob
ably the cheaper food; oats and peas
somewhat the better. If the former
is contemplated as steady summer
diet for years, it would be well to con-
slider the erection of special summer
silo, preferably round, with a small
diameter and a relatively great depth,
Ensilage spread over a large surface
in summer spoils rapidly and loses
largely in feeding value. If oats and
peas be chosen, they should be sown
in successive lots at weekly intervals,
the two sown separately, the peas first
rather deeply and narrowed in; the
oats two or three days later and
bushed in. A better catch is likely to
be secured in this way than if sown
together. The crop may be either fed
green, hayed or put In the silo. Let
those whose July and August milk
yields prove disappointing try ensi'
lage or oats and peas next year.-Coun'
try Gentleman.

The Home Physician.
PATSY SHAMBERGER.

| There is and has been 80 much bowei
trouble this summer among adults as
we'll as children, append few simple
remedies that may be prepared at home
and If given in time may prevent serious
sickness.
Into half glass of water put one table
spoon levelful of sifted -four, one tea,
spoonful laudanum, one teaspoonful
salts, six drops camphor Dose; Tea
spoonful whenever bowels move, or
every hour.
For chronic diarrhpa, one teaspoon
level full of soda. one half teaspoonful
laudanum, eight drops camphor dissolve
in pint water. Dose: One tablespoon
full when needed.
For fux into glass Of water put one
tablespoonful salts and one teaspoonful
laudanum. Take teaspoonful every
three hours.
1t is said that the following remedy
will cure flux when everything else
fails.
Dissolve one tablespoonful Of table
salt in half glass of vinegar and give
In teaspoonful doses until hemorrhage
stops, then mix one teaspoonful lauda .
mum, one tablespoonful castor oil and
white of one egg and give In small doses
until patient gets easy then follow with
small doses of quinine.
For cholera morbus, one tablespoonful
of black pepper, one tablespoonful salts
put in a half glass of warm water, fill
glass with vinegar. Stir and take u
tablespoonful at dose and repeat In u
short time until vomiting ceases.
A mustard plaster Is excellent for
sick stomach. Take tablespoonful Of
ground mustard, mix with few drops
water and spread on cloth with II thin
piece of muslin on side next to skin, put
1t on the stomach above the navel. For
an infant, may use equal parts of mustard
and -four and mix with lard or white OF
eggs so as not to blister the tender skin
For sick stomach caused by indiges-
tion take heaping teafpoonful OF soda
dissolved in u glass of hot water. When
the stomach is troubled after eating
fresh meat stir teaspo0nful OF soda in
glass cold water and take ut one dose.
Hot water alone drunk before breakfast
and after supper is good for indigestion,
also constipation.
In all bowel trouble diet of eggs
raw or slightly cooked is recommended.
Eggs prepared as for eggnog with but
very little sugar and whiskey or the
whites alone beaten to froth and
favored, or prepared as boiled custard
or lightly poached; anyway to suit the
patient 3 taste A spare diet for u few
days is often better than medicine.
1t is u good idea to boil or steriliae all
sweet milk for small children during the
summer. They should be allowed bnt
little fruit or vegetables while flux Is
prevalent. Blackberry cordial is ex
cellent for arrangement Of bowels. To
two quarts of juice pressed from ripe
blackberries and one pound of white
sugar half ounce each of nutmeg cloves,
cinnamon pulverized, boil together for
short time; when cold add pint brandy
or best whiskey. Teaspoonful ut dose,

WE can hardly agree with the propo.
sition to do away with the board OF

have done so far shows that they are
the right men for the place, and the
paltry sum their services cost has al

intelligent work done by them There
Is always someone who is ready to heap
extra labor on the state officers and
this Is one more position they wish to
heap on them, Now not one OF our state

state matters without putting other
labors upon them. We, for one, say

Good Roads.

A recent issue of the Little Rock
.'Gazette" has tbs following upon an
always timely topic
Good roads are great advantage 10
any community. The questson OF Sc.
curing good roads for Arkansas ought
to be one that should receive much
attention from our legislature. During
the last Ave years all countries have
made considerable progress IN road
building. There have been constructed
in British India over 200 900 miles OF
macadamized roads which are said to
be equal to the best turnpikes in the
older states Of this country. The st.
Louis Republic, in an article COM
rnenting on the progress OF road building
ia India, says
''The benefit of these improved high.
ways is considered so great in India that
only graduates of civil engineering
colleges are permitted to superintend
their construction, The present system
OF roads in that country is the result OF
100 years Of experience and expenditure.
The visible results of these well directed
efforts are found in roads that are,
according to u writer in the last number
of the Engineering News, the best
in the world. They have eighteen feet
of macadam and u dry earth portion Of
similar width on the sides for use in
dry weather. The roads are kept in
constant repair, it being held that n
shovelful of gravel today is cheaper than
wagon load in the spring or fal' An
nual conventions are held where matters
relative to the business are discussed
and appropriations recommended. The
intelligent farmer Of the United States
is beginning to realize the Importance
OF good roads. The railroads have al
ways urged the betternent OF these
highways, as they realize that every
country road Is simply \ branch line of
the railroad, AT present bad weather
means delayed shipments of grain.
Undre such system of roads rs India
boasts rain or shine would affect the
market not jot. -
There are quite number of farmers
in the Arkansas legislature, and rs
good roads benefit the farmer more than
any other class of citizens, they should
give this subject their attention. They
should insist upon such amendments to
the present road laws as will insure the
building Of turnpikes IN every county
in the state. A good law, similar to
the one in force in New Jersey, would
take Arkansas ont Of the woods.
