Washing Horses In Hot Weather.

Bathing horses in summer is good
practice and ought to be more general.
1t adds to the health of animals by
opening the pores Of the skin. The
comfort to the horse and improvement
in looks alone more than pays for the
extra trouble and time it takes. OF
course good brushing daily will do a
great deal to keep horse clean, but
in warm weather an occasional bath
is very refreshing.
When q lake or sire am containing
n sandy bottom is located near by,
several horses can easily be bathed in
half an hour by one person. To take
an hour or SO on Saturday afternoons,
after work, 10 time we'll spent. When
horses become accustomed to it they
will 60 into the water and take swim
themselves, ~ soon a. turned loose.
But at first it usually requires some
coaxing. Careless and inexperienced
boys should not b. trusted to take
horses out in deep water, as there is
danger of both horse and boy being
drowned.

DRY SEASONS DOWN TO DATE.

The following interesting statement
of previous dry seasons extending
back to days of the Pilgrim fathers,
has been compiled and is worth pre-
serving.
In the summer of 1921, twenty-four
days in succession without rain.
In 173O, forty.one days without
rain.
In 1857, seventy-fve days without
rain.
In 1914, forty-five days in succession
without rain.
In 1858, eighty-one days in success
sioon without rain.
In 1854, sixty-two days without rain.
In 17O5. forty days in succession
without rain.
In Ills, forty-six days in succession
without rain.
In 1928, sixty-one days in succession
without rain.
In 1880, ninety-two days in success
sion without rain.
In 17l4, seventy-two days in success
sion without rain.
In l749, one hundred and eight
days in succession without rain.
In 1855, forty-two days in succession
without rain.
In 1852, one hundred and twenty.
three days in succession without rain.
In 1773, eighty days in succession
without rain.
In 1871, eighty-two days in srcces-
sion without rain.
In 1902, twenty.three days in sue.
cession without rain.
In 1872. twenty-eight days in sue

In 1871, forty-two days in succession
without rain.
In 1875, twenty six days in success
sion without rain.
In 1876, twenty-six days in success
sion without rain.
1t will be seen that the longest
drouth that ever occurred in America
was in the summer of 1862. No rain
fell from the LIST of May to the lst OF
September, making 123 days without
rain. Many of the inhabitants sent
to England for hay and grain.

THE PROPOSED LABOR TRUST

The proposed labor trust is the nat
ural result OF the greater combination
OF capital. Labor has organized in
about the same proportion as capital
has combined. This is the one fact
which the history of trade unions pro.
claims most emphatically. In our
own country trade unions were sufici-
ent until capital began to concentrate
and then cooperation became neces.
sary. Necessity produced the knights
OF Labor, but this great organization
not proving wholly efficient in protect
ing the interests of labor, still greater
organization became necessary in the
Federation of Labor. Changes in con-
ditions have now led to the cousidera-
tion of still greater and closer organi-
zation in the labor trust, TO embrace
all great labor organizations and to
operate on entirely different lines, just
as greater combinations of capital do.
In short, it is trust meet trust in the
industrial field, development OF situ-
alton for which labor cannot be held
responsible.
1t is true that the proposed labor
trust is not approved by all labor lead.
ers. 1t is not to be expected that
movement which will displace in q
greater or less measure men who have
had considerable authority, will at
first be given their enthusiastic sup.
port. 1t would be contrary TO human
nature for such men to yield power
without protest, even though they
look TO greater power in a greater or
ganization. But there are few able
leaders in labor's cause who are will.
ing, when put to to the test, to stand
in the way of what is definitely
stamped as progress, for they know
that there is no room in labor move
ments to-day for conservatism which
appears too much like standing still.
Labor has to be progressive in order to
hold it's own, for the world will not
wait on any one who gets behind the
procession. Labor, being on the de.
tensive to q greater or less degree,
may follow capital, but it cannot fol-
low too far behind without being dis
tanced in the great industrial race.
Labor has the justification of necessity
which capital cannot plead, and its
progress in efficient organization is,
therefore, the more imperative.

OF 3OO, 100000 tons OF coal

combustion OF 300 600, 900 tons OF coal
per annum.
People regard with amazement
the present rapid growth of wealth in
the United States, but this will be
comparative poverty when with twenty
million people on the Pacific slope
engaged in raising grain and manufac-
turing flour for the Orient, we can dis
patch large freighters daily from each
Of the Pacific ports loaded with the
manufactured goods of the Eastern
factories, the cotton OF the south, and
the food products of the mountain
valleys. Then a river of wealth will
be turned into the United States
which will put to shame the visions of
the widest dreamers.
"If Congress at its next session will
appropriate 800 10000 in per cent.
bonds to be used in canal and rese--
voir construction. the money will be
returned directly many times in the
increased value of the public land.
Indirectly, in trade results, the benefit
will be permanent and incalculable.
AS matter of political policy, the
party which will take up and boldly
advocate an immediate and liberal ap-
preparation will receive the support of
millions of people now homeless and
discontented who desire homes and
the opportunity to make living by
honest labor.
1.-THE agricultural products OF the
Pacific slope cannot come into compe.
tition with the farmers of the middle
West. On the contrary, the section
will open a large market for corn and
hog products not produceable there.
The storage OF the water in mountain
reservoirs will reduce the food level OF
the lower rivers and measurably re-
lieve the cotton and sugar estates
from the dangers of overflow. Also
the saturation of the land by irriga-
ton will increase the rainfall in Kan
sas and Nebraska at the times when
needed by the growing crops.
"a policy OF arid land reclamation
to be effective must be conducted on q
large scale. An appropriation OF only
81 100000 would be childish. Two
hundred and fifty million dollars was
voted without discussion for the Span
ish war. This was for waste. In
these days OF large undertakings an
expenditure of $1OOO00,O0O for per-
manent improvement which will ben
eft millions of people should not
cause hesitation. Such an amount,
properly used, would add 5000. .OOO,-
600 to the national wealth. While it
would make homes for multitude Of
settlers, the greatest benefits would
come to the manufacturers Of the
eastern and middle western States and
their employees, and to the cotton rails
ers and spinners OF the SOUTH"

DRESS THEIR OWN WOUNDS
Certain Birds Display Wonderful knowledge
Of Surgery.

There are not a few birds that pos.
sess knowledge of the principles OF
surgery that is not far from supernat.
ural. The woodcock, the partridge
and some other birds are able to dress
their wounds with considerable skill.
A French naturalist says that on sew
eral occasions he has killed woodcoc ks
that were when shot convalescing
from wounds previously received. In
every instance he found the old in
jury neatly dressed with down, plucked
from the stem of feathers and skill.
fully arranged over the wound, evil
IDENTIFY by the long beak of the bird.
In some instances solid plas ter was
thus formed, and in others ligatures
had been applied to wounded or bro
ken limbs.
One day he killed a bird that evi.
IDENTIFY had been severely wounded at
some recent period. The wound was
covered and protected by sort OF net
work OF feathers which had been
plncked by the bird from its own body
and so arranged rs to form a plaster
completely covering and protecting
the wounded surface. 1t had evident
ly acted as hemostatic in the first
place and subsequently as a shield
covering the wound. The feathers
we're fairly netted together, passing al
ternately under and above each other
and forming q textile fabric OF grea
protective power.
Birds are often found whose limbs
have been broken by shot with the
fractured ends neatly joined and lig.
ated. NJ. Dumontell tells OF a wood
cock that had been shot by sports
man on the afternoon OF a certain day.
After long search the bird was given
up, but it was discovered the next
morning by an accident. In the
meantime the wounded legs were
found to be neatly ligated, an exquis-
itely neat bandsge having been placed
around each limb. The poor bird,
however, had, in dressing its wound,
entangled its beak with some long,
soft feathers, and had it not been dis
covered it would have died OF starva.

THE FoLLIEs Of ROYALTY.

It is easy to understand now why
Mr.. William Waldorf Astor went to
England and why be wanted to be
lord. but it is not easy to see how he
could have cherished the hope that
his wild ambition could be gratified.
The privileges of the British peerage
are too exalted to be aspired to with
any reason by persons of common
clay.
For instance, the Duke OF Norfolk
has put in q claim to act ~ chief
butler Of England on the occasion Of
the coming coronation, and doubtless
some one OF his female relatives has q
right to act as chief waitress and some
other as chief chambermaid.
Lord Grey de Ruthyn demands the
right to carry the golden spurs.
Sir Windham Anstruther claims the
right to be grand carver for Scotland,
and very likely. he will insist upon
pouring the gravy, too.
The Duke of Newcastle insists upon
permission to provide glove and to
support the Kings arm.
Other noblemen put in equally lofty
claims. The Office of hereditary
grand bootjack will not figure in the
coronation ceremonies, because the
King will not take off his boots until
after he gets home, but no doubt some
proud and happy peer will have the
honor of performing its duties in due
season.
Who is William Waldorf Astor that
he should figure in such company? 1t
is honor enough for person OF his
extraction to be allowed TO sit st re.
spectful distance and watch through
his opera glasses the Duke of Norfolk
doing his chief butleling, and Sir
Wyndham Anstruther his grand carv-
ing for Scotland.

poison and neglects no chance of leav-

full because it was but few days since

plainly. The wolves, two in number, had

down she was torn open in twinkling.
