Mr.. Edward Lisle, whose "Observa-
tons on Husbandry" was published in
1857, describes the method employed by
his "oxhind" or cattleman to break cattle
to the yoke. HE yoked two of the steers,
being two yearlings, together, and so suf-
fered them to walk about the ground
where there were no pits or bitches for
them to receive hurt by. He also tied to-
gether the bushy parts of their tails. the
reason of which was because they should
not be able to turn their heads to each
other so as to strike one another with
their horns, or by bending their necks too
much by endeavoring to face one another
and then striving break their necks." In
this condition the oxhind let them go on
the ground, if without holes or bitches, all
night, or else turned them into an empty
open barn so yoked and thus treated them
two or three times before he worked them.

Randares and Red Tame.

During the South African war Rudyard
Kipling discovered at Cape Town hos
pital without bandages and in desperate
need of them. This, too, was in a city
where bandages were for sale in many
shops.
He told an acquaintance that he was
going to meet that want, and the gentle
man at once offered to pay for all the
bandages that Mr.. Kipling would buy
and take to the hospital.
A cart was quickly loaded, and then
the author was informed that under army
rules the hospital authorities could not
receive supplies from a private individual.
"Well," said he, 81 will dump the pack
ages on the pavement before the door and
then tell them to come out and clear up
the litter. Perhaps they can get them
into the building in that way without
tearing any red tape"
He drove off with the bandages, and
the supplies were somehow struggled into

A mushrooms method of growth and
propagation is popularity considered to be
a first class mystery. 1t is not such, how
ever, from the scientific point of view.
On the contrary, it is very well understood
how the seeds or spores are developed on
the underside of the fungus. microscopic
and of vast numbers, single agaric often
having as many as 100000. These
myriad germs. when they land upon suit
able ground send forth numerous fine
cottonlike threads, which bring nourish-
ment to the spore. Fattening upon the
food it gets from the earth in this way
the embryo swells into a feshy kernel,
like knot amid the network Of tilaments
about it. From this kernel the mushroom
in all its parts is developed before it
shows above the ground.

The real, actual unit of value in the
United States is the silver quarter.
The dime is out of place. In the bar
you get two drinks for quarter; you
buy two cigars for quarter. One CT
gar for 10 cents seems plebeian. so you
take two for quarter. In the restau-
rant you are ashamed to give the wait
er a 10 cent tip and cannot afford to
give him a quarter, but moral coward
ice drives you to let him have the
quarter. The quarter is the most beau
tiful silver coin in the world. 1t is of
the most convenient size. Mix up a
lot of dimes, nickels and copper cents
in your pocket. and your sense of touch
balks at distinguishing between them.
You must haul out handful of chick
en- feed" for visual Identification. A
quarter you can tell from anything by
the "feel."-New York Press.

Whenever a horse steps on nail OF
other substance which punctures the
sole Of the foot at sufficient depth to
cause the blood to show, there is only
one safe course to pursue, and that ID
to make good free opening for the
escape of all blood, says G. D. 8. in
National Stockman. This means to cut
q circular hole with q sharp knife fully
as large es 10 cent piece around the
hole made by the nail. When neglected,
the nature of the sole is such that 1t
will close and shut in blood that should
find egress from the wound, as well as
germs which may be on the nail, piece
Of bone or whatever was stepped upon.
When the blood remains in the
wound, putrefaction soon follows, and
purulent matter burrows under the
frog or sole, the connecting tissues are
destroyed and the animal suffers ex-
cruciating pain and not infrequently
lockjaw (tetanus) follows. AS rule,
most horse owners are afraid to cut
away any sole Of the foot, fearing that
they will expose sensitive parts and It
will be weeks before new horn will
grow, consequently when they cut away
horn rarely ever half do the work.
They cut away a hole large enough
on the surface, but don't extend 1t to
the depth necessary to allow the pent
up blood to escape. The fear Of over
cutting prevents their cutting suffi-
GENTLY, and their fear Of the hole not
soon filling with healthy horn is ground
less. Not in one case In ten where q
proper opening has been made soon aft
er the injury will there ever be suppu-
ration, the wound simply drying up
and healing by first intention, as sur
geons say.
After a cutting Is made a carbolic
to ten Of water should be poured In the
hole, after which little cotton dipped
in oil of tar can be placed in the hole
made with the knife, and in most cases
a splinter of hickory or other tough
timber can be sprung under the shoe
and the horse put to work and no fur
Their attention paid to 1t. If matter
has gone under the sole or frog and
it is detached, it must be cut away
even If 1t takes the whole bottom
of the foot out This won't ruin the
animal, as most people think. That
purulent matter must be got rid Of
and germs destroyed, and when that
Is done simple foot dressing Of a
mixture Of oil Of tar one part, glycerin
two parts, olive oil two parts and oil
of turpentine one part, mixed and ap-
piled and layer of cotton batting put

Oaks in England were formerly valued
for the acorns which they produced SC
much so that in the Domesday survey
carried out by William the Conqueror the
value of woods in some counties is esti
mated by the number of hogs they would
fatten. To go farther back, to the days
of ancient Rome, the Rev. G. A. Johns
in his work, Forest Trees of Britain, "
says that by the laws of the twelve ia
bles "the owner of tree might gather
up his acorns, though they should have
fallen on another mans ground" which
shows that considerable value must have
been placed on them. The right of turn
ing out pigs to feed on acorns and beech
mast was known by the name of 'com-
mon of pannage."

To Cure Pork without Brine.

To 100 pounds of meat take two quarts
of salt, three pounds of brown sugar and
three ounces of saltpeter. Pulverize the
last as fine as possible and mix thorough
" with the salt and sugar. Now rub a
small quantity of the mixture on the rind
side of the pork, the remainder on the
flesh side. rubbing 1t in well. Pack in a
box that will allow the drippings to run
off. Rub each piece well as you put it in
the box. After thirty hours take out
and apply two quarts of salt in the same
manner and pack again. Leave it for
three or four weeks and then smoke.
See that the meat is not frozen when ap-
plying either the mixture or the salt. 1t
Is said pork is better when cured in this
way than when brine is used
