OF course the manufacturers Of the;

that their claims are true, but Will wait
for impartial proof before passing In
their favor.
James r. Bowman, writing In the
North British Agriculturist on Gre
mounts for the Army" says: AS l
am frequently asked as TO the best pos
sible manner of breeding horses for
the army. had better reply in short
letter to your valuable paper. Good
English saddle horses are best pro-
duced by half-bred stallion, rather
tall, with a comely and outswelling
forehead. His eyes should be bright
and sparkling, neck well turned, and
issuing high out of his breast, with
deep shoulders, broad breast, long,
muscular arm, and short shank, back
short, and ribbed home. girth large,
and his belly round; his headquarters
should be bold and muscular, and not
too long in the thigh and leg; he
should go light, and his knee should
be we'll elevated and advanced during
the trot.
The progeny of such is excellently
adapted either for road, saddle. or war.
AS to brood mares, it should re remem-
Dered that the size of the foal depends
more upon the strength and vigor of
the dams constitution than the dimen-
sions of her middle-piece. Very old
mares are not so fit for breeding as
young ones; and besides, from the de-
cay of their teeth, they do not graze
we'll, and artificial food cannot supply
the foal with nutrition like what is de-
rived from natural resources.
Now, the progeny Of this class OF
horses are not the man-traps like those
things which. were bought in Cumber-
land for military purposes in South
Africa-whatever came of them-for
they were only death-traps for our
troopers. Nor is this class of horses
like the understood weak horses that
were admitted into our regiments of
light dragons, which rendered them
unable at the battle of Waterloo to
Withstand the charge of the French
cavalry. 81,
But breeders generally put their
mares to some Informed thoroughbred
stallion, which possesses no recon-
mendation but pedigree, or perhaps
the whining of some sweepstake made
for the purpose. Many Of these are
badly formed in their legs, and show
evident signs of bad action by the
scars on their fetlock joints, coca
stoned by their striking one leg against
the other.
But the comparatively low price
given for a good road horse has, no
doubt, contributed to discourage the
improvements in this invaluable breed,
therefore the government should take
it in hand, as it is an object of great
national Importance, as it affects both
internal intercourse and external de-

to keep as bad one; and I cannot

Apples should not be repacked if it
can be avoided. Once packed they
should remain packed till they reach
the consumer. The repacking causes
additional bruising and the bruised
parts are always susceptible to fungus
growths. II. M. Dunlap says that the
failure Of the Canadian apples in the
exposition at Paris was largely due to
the fact that they were repacked before
reaching their destination. The addi-
tional bruises they received brought
them onto the tables in Paris in bad
condition, while the American apples
that were not touched from the time
they left the shippers on this side till
they were taken out of the boxes or
barrels in Paris were in fine shape. 1t

as other squash bugs, but one Of the
best methods is trapping. This bug
remains in the field very late, and this
fact makes it the easier to trap 1t.
This may be accomplished by setting

to distribute these trap plants about
the garden patches and set fire to
them when the bugs have congregated
upon them in sufficient numbers. This
could readily be done by throwing upon
the plants dry straw or similar mate
rial and adding little kerosene.

The North will ultimately find in the
South strong competitor in the man
ufacture of canned goods Already the
southern papers are asking why their
people have been so long asleep and
permitted the people Of other sections
to sell them canned goods at a high
price. 1t is claimed that the southern
people buy 100 cans put up in other
sections Of the country to every can
they themselves put up. This is a
strange state of affairs, for the South
is the section of the country of all
others where the contents of these cans
can be raised easiest and cheapest.
The fact that other localities have ta-
ken the lead in this matter shows the
value OF that thing we call center
prise.

Zion tabernacle yesterday that GER
tain physicians Of this city had
formed a plot to kidnap him, lock
him in a detention hospital and beat
him on the head and back till he
should lose all his reasoning powers
and become really insane. He said
that the kidnapping might take place
that night and after his service he
called special private meeting Of
the male members of Zion to take
steps to help the Zion guard in pro-
tecting him. He also made threats
against the physicians that he would
do them as he thought they were try
ing to do to him unless they shall let
him alone and stop calling him a
paranoiac. With all this Dowie re-
peated continually his pretensions to
be Elijah reincarnated, making way
for the end Of the world, and he in.
cidentally laid claim to immortality

A CATHOLIC BISHOP KISSED.
bishop Bonacum, Of the South Nebraska
Diocese, In . Lawsuit with Rev.
Father Murphy.

Seward, Neb., June 17.-The scene
was presented here Saturday Of q
Catholic bishop being Kissed and
jeered by members and communicates
OF his own faith. Bishop Bonacum,
Of the South Nebraska diocese, and
Rev. Father Murphy are at law over
possession Of the church property in
this city. Their quarrel began ten
years ago, when Rev. Father Murphy
had charge OF the parish at Tecum-
sch, Neb. Most Of the parishioners
sympathized openly with Rev. Father
Murphy, and for this reason many
were communicated by the bishop.
The priest ultimately was removed to
Seward, but two weeks ago went to
Tecumseh and administered the final
sacrament to dying Catholic, one
of those under the bishops ban. The
resident priest had been forbidden to
do it. Bishop Bonacum at once or
dered Father Murphy's dismissal from
this parish. He refused and the
trustees sided with him. The bishop
responded by bringing civil action
in the courts and the hearing is now
in progress. When the bishop left
the court room he was hooted at by
the crowd. During recess the
bishop went to several members OF
the parish who were in attendance
and forbade them attending church
while Rev. Father Murphy was in
possession. He forbade them to lis
ten to him or to have anything to do
with him, for the reason that he had
been communicated and was not
an authorized priest Of the regular
church. Rev. Father Murphy con-
fronted the bishop and declared the
bishops statement to be false.

ANTI-CANTEEN LAW.
A Movement on Foot to S cure Its
Early Repeal.
CREATFICHT EXPECTED IN CONGRESS-


Washington, June 17.-There ID q
movement on foot that has as its OBJ
ject the early repeal Of the anti-can-
teen law. 1t is believed that the old
fight will be renewed in the Fifty-sev-
enth congress with even greater Bit
terness than characterized it last win
ter. Senator Hawley, Of Connecticut,
chairman Of the senate committee
on military affairs, predicted that
congress would repeal the anti-can.
teen law very early in the winter.
1T is quite possible that the law will
be repealed before the session Is two
months DID," he added. 1t is very
probable that bills will be introduced
in both houses the first day Of the
session. They will go at once to the
military committees Of the respective
houses and the skirmish will begin
which will be the forerunner Of a
battle for the canteen and against the
canteen such as made the last session
of congress memorable one. The
temperance people are now hard at
work collecting evidence to present
to congress to counterfeit the report
and recommendation for its repeal
which the secretary Of war is expect
ed to make, based on reports and
official communications from COM
manders Of army posts in the United
States as well as commanders Of
forces and Of posts in the islands
recently acquired from Spain. The
people who are in favor of this law
are expected to be here in force to
lobby against the repeal.
The law abolishing the canteen has
been faithfully enforced, and it is
a part of the secretary's duty to note
the effect Of that enforcement and
report on it to congress. Personal
letters from post commanders to de-
partment officials indicate that the
abolition has, in the opinion of the
writer's, had an injurious effect upon
the enlisted men. Should this opin-
ion be reflected in the official reports
which will be received by the secre!
tary of war about July 1, it will be
the duty of this official to show con-
gress that this argument is in favor
Of the repeal Of the law.
