The cross Saddle In Boston.

Whether women shall ride astride or in
the old way has been agitated to such
an extent the past season that not long
ago I called upon Professor Clasen. m
structor in the Brookline Riding Academy
and chief advocate of the new method
about Boston, to hear what he had to say
on the subject Naturally like all reforms.
II is meeting with a good deal OF oppo-
sition in Boston as we'll as in other cities,
although the cross-saddle, from news
paper reports. is the only one used oy
Boston women of the twentieth century.
Whether it is to be universally adopted
or not one cannot at present say, but
the fact remains that the cross-saddle Is
with US, that 1t has come to stay, and
that it has a most enthusiastic follow
ing. even though that following Is as yet
in the minority.
I will admit thatI have been slow to
conviction, having personally a strong
preference for the old-fashioned way, but
this summer while in New Hampshire
and southern Massachusetts ! saw 50
many young ladies riding astride appar-
emily with perfect comfort. and looking
very attractive in the exercise, that
felt It must have good points worth con-
sidering, and gave Professor Clasen an
opportunity to add one more to his al
ready large following
Professor Clasen is a man or educatloh
and long experience, having been twelve
years reitmeister in the German army De-
fore coming to this country. since wnen
he has taught in Brookline ten years
When asked how many pupils ne had
taught to ride cross-saddle he replied over
four hundred. some of these being con-
yerts from the side-saddle. II have Iev-
er known a pupil to abandon the cross
saddle for the old way. and all who learn
this method prefer it," he said. Profes-
sor Clasen heartily approves the cross
saddle as healthful for women, which al
ter all is the chief bone OF contention pc
tween the followers of the old and Of the
new. However. nothing but fair test
and time will settle this point.
Again. many women by thinking any
sort of garb would do for cross-saddle
have called down criticism on their ap-
pearance. Professor Clasen gave me
number of photographs, one OF which 1
send YOU. which prove woman may look
very chic riding astride.
The exhibition which was given at the
Boston Horse Show last April under the
direction of Mr.. Ciasen excited widespread
interest. although the exhibitors were
girls. not women. Taking into considera-
ton that no one of them had taken more
than twenty lessons they seemed wonder
fully at home in the saddle, walking. trot-
ting and cantering at given signals ana
forming various figures with ease
All Boston hOrsewomen, and many OF
them our finest riders. are not riding this
wav. but if the girls who are taught this
method adhere to 1t as they grow into
Young ladyhood. the side-saddle may be
a curiosity here ten years from now, as
heard one of the men most prominent IN
cas- 'si' -iO'T' WHIP.

Value Of Cow Peas.

From an exchange We reproduce the fol-
lowing comparisons OF values of stock
feed:
l. The relative value OF certain forage
plants for pasturage by milch cows.
2. The values Of certain of these forage
plants for soiling milch cows.
3 The values OF certain Of these crops
for milk and butter fat production when
pastured as compared with the value of
the same crop when soiled.
Among the most interesting conclusions
is the fact that cowpeas, even as far north
as Nebraska, gave better results in milk
and butter fats than any other crop.
The pasturage test OF number of an
nual forage crops made in 1898 were with
a few exceptions duplicated in 1900. the in
tention being TO note such variation as
might be induced by a difference I'm eli
matte conditions or in the individual pref
serence or aversion of animals for certain
feed. .... E
The crops tested were rye. oats and peas.
Indian corn, millet. sorghum, kafr corn
and cowpeas, as representing the ANNALS,
also alfalfa and awnless bronze grass.
Records were kept for the amount of
pasturage AFFORDED. and the effect Of the
feed upon the production of milk and but
ter fat.
The following are some average results
for two years: t
The crops giving the largest amount OF
pasturage were rye and sorghum. Indian
corn and millet gave less annual forage
plants. although alfalfa and awnless
bronze grass gave the least pasturage OF
any, the former affording considerably
more than the latter. IL must be borne in
mind, however. that the ANNALS may be
pastured only a certain period OF each
season, while the alfalfa and bronze grass
furnish feed early and late.
Cowpeas and alfalfa increased most
largely the yield OF milk and butter fat.
Next to these came rye, oats and peas,
sorghum, kair corn and awnless bronze
grass. N%
Cowpeas produce an actually greater
quantity OF milk and butter fat when GER
tain crops were pastured and when they
were cut and fed. The crops so tested
we're alfalfa. sorghum and Indian corn. In
the case Of each OF these from two to
three times as much feed was procured
from given area OF land when the crop
was cut and fed as when IL was pastured.
The same tests indicated that the aver
age daily production Of milk and butter
fat was greater for the same feed when
Il was pastured than when cut and fed.
This on an average amounted to LII times
greater fat production from the. pastured
than from the soiled crop.

Lump on Shoulder.

As am one of the many readers to the
Atlanta Journal 1 would like to ask few
questions.
1. have a young mare that has got a
hump on her shoulder as big as a mans
fist 1t was soft at first, but it seems to
get harder, caused by the collar. Please
give me some remedy that will take it
away. s
2. How can I kill buttonwood bushes in
a meadow? Wishing you and the many
readers of The Journal prosperous year,
. A. J.B.
Statesville, N. C..
Answer: If the hump referred to is high
up on the shoulder of the horse 1T will
likely develop into festulous sore If not
properly treated. All such sores or fistulas
can be easily cured provided an outlet be
made for the discharge of pus, so that
the sore may empty itself by gravity, l. e.,
run down hill The outlet is the one thing
needful. and only needs to be large enough
to flow freely and be kept open by the
finger until the sore shall have recovered
and become sound in the center.
The natural way, If left alone, is for
such sores to close up at the outlet before
the center heals. Hence the pus goes bur-
rowing downward through the tissues and
SO results the seriousness of fstulous
sores.
As soon as soft place shall be formed

center. When you get discharge of pus,
then cut from below upward channel big
enough to insert the finger. Wash out
the sore with a solution of carbolic acid
10 parts, water 90 parts, which pump in
the sore with a syringe. Wash on with
soap and water all pus and carbolic acid
that comes from the sore. Every three or
four days run your finger in the outlet
and tear IT open as 1t commences to heal
and not allow the outlet to close.
1 have never yet known Of fistula so
situated that It could be drained that did
not heal promptly when treated as above.
Buttonwood bushes. / fear, will finally
have to be grubbed up, roots and all, to
clear the ground.
I have heard that such plants will die if
cut in August, I believe the month Is, but
generally have gone on cutting bushes

NAV come to more than the great initial
expense of digging UP the whole plant.

farmers who have given more attention
to getting rid of bushes. VIII not some
of our readers give their experience on
this line? b. w. IL.

THE WISDOM OF THE SERPENT.
New orleans Times-Democrat.

New Orleans Ttmes-Democrat.
whenever the dog days roll around
always think of a snake story heard in
Arkansas some years ago." said a man
woo lives in this city now, "and while /
will not vouch for the accuracy of the
tale it has become a part of the history
of the county in which II was said to have
happened Lee Is the name of the county
and the story developed about the time
the county came into existence, about the
time it was carved out of sections of st.
Francis and Phillips counties. Crowley's
ridge. a chain Of hills which break off at
the foot of the Ozarks and slope down
windingly through Arkansas until they
touch the Mississippi river at Old Town,
some distance below Helena, runs through
these counties.
This chain Of hills passes through the
centre of Lee county, following the line of
the st. Francis river. On top of this
ridge, at a very high point, midway be-
tween Helena, in st. Francis county. and
Mariana, the county seat of Lee county,
there is a very large pond, and 1t never
went dry but once in its history. But
during a very dry spell in 1880 the water
in this pond disappeared. Farmers for
miles around had watered their stock
there when other places failed. 1t was
nearer to some of them than the river.
When It went dry they were forced to go
to the river.
''The pond was a perfect Mecca for the
snakes in the hills. and in the summer
evenings it would become a seething mass
of snakes; dry land moccasins, copper
bellies, adders ana rattlers would gather
around the pond, swim across it, wallow
in 1t, dive in 1t and cool themselves off.
When the water gave out they were in a
dilemma What / have said vouch for,
but now cometh the point of this yarn. It
was in the dog days when the water gave
out The snakes were shedding and their
cast-off coverings could be found scat
tered all through the hills. They hit upon
q plan.
Down I'm a deep hollow on one side of
the ridge they found a concealed spring.
No living man knew 1t was there. They
wanted to get water from this spring to
fiji the pond, which had gone dry. They
constructed a hose, which ran from the
spring to the pond at the top of the hill in
this wise: They stretched out in an un-
broken line from the spring to the pond,
and the hindmost snake let his tail drop
over into the spring; then they swallowed
each others tails and began to crawl
slowly through the chain of SEEDLINGS to
the top of the hill, and the water followed
them UP the hill through the improvised
hose and trickled out into the pond, and
so there you are. It's not my story. I'm
simply telling it, that's ALL"
