Horse Talk.

Horse-breeders have every reason to
feel joyous over the demand for good
horses, both at home and abroad.
The great complaint of the dealers is
that they find it difficult to keep up to
the demand.
Those who breed and handle good
horses will have long period of pros
perity.
Go out to the fairs and shows and
some good, large markets, and see
what is called for, and you will be
cured of breeding scrubs, and your
eyes will be oened.
One of the best devices I know of is
the safety strap attached to the ends
of the shafts.
Take a screw-eye and put it exactly
in the middle end of each shaft. Sew
or rivet half-inch strap in each eve
and join them in the middle with a
buckle When your horse is hitched
up, buckle this strap and you will find
it impossible for him to catch the rein
under the shafts or TO run the shafts
through the ring of the bit 1t is in
valuable in hy-time, or in breaking
colts. Once used you will have them
on every rig.
Wise horsemen employ less of corn
or meal and more of oats in warm
weather.
Horse stalls should be either four or
six feet wide. If five feet the animal
is likely to get fast. Four feet is too
narrow to get fast and six is wide
enough 20 freely roll in. Have the
stalls wide if possible. for your hoEses.

OGDEN, Utah, Jan. IA, 1901.-(Spe-
cial) The Pacific Coast Division of the
Salvation Army, whose noble work in
theinterests of fallen humanity has done
so much for this western country, has
its headquarters in this city. One of
the brightest and most enthusiastic
workers is Lieut. Miss Mabel Clarice

voted people parade the streets day or
night exposing themselves TO all kinds
of weather that no opportunity may
be lost of rescuing some poor unfortun-
ate from sin and suffering. In some
cases. their recklessness in thus expos
ing themselves has been commented
upon as almost suicidal. Their answer
to such criticisms invariably is their
unfailing faith in the Divine Injunction
to do right and fear not" Lieut. Hunt
explains one of the means she employs
to keep her Soldiers" in good health,
as follows:

Maine Farmers Find Skuuks am Bel
gian HaIss Are Not Profitable.
| Farmers in Maine walo have made the
| experiment have come 10 the conclu-
sion that there is no money in growing
skunks for their pelts or in rearing
Belgian hares foe the markets In the
case of the skuakS the trouble began
when the price of peltry went down so
| that good black skunk was worth no
more than $3.50. AS not more than one
skunk in twenty-five is black. the bust
ness did not pay for the care bestowed.
The Belgian hareS thrived and multi.
piled nearly as rapidly as potato bugs,
but the trouble came when the owners
tried to sell their output While there
We're customers to buy hares for breed
ing purposes there was fair income to
be had, but as soon as the surplus ami
mails Were killed and put on the mar
ket it was found that nobody had any
particular yearaing for Belgian hare
meat, and the new Industry languished
for want of financial support
In view of the losses suffered during
the trials, it is proposed in some cases
to convert the abandoned skunk pens
and deserted rabbit hutches into pens
and Enclosures for the rearing of wood
chucks. During the past decade wood
| chuck hunts have become very popular
in New England and the Middle States.
The fur is good for many purposes, and
the meat is much better than that fur
nished by any of the rabbit tribe.
Though woodchucks Go not produce
more than eight or ten offspring in
year, the young grow rapidly, many
dressing as much as eight or ten pounds
when eighteen months of age.
The animals are hardy, and will re-
quire no housing beyond what they can
provide for themselves They will stand
confinement and thrive where the fam
lily pig would be filed with discomfort.
1t is estimated that an acre of land
sowed to'peas in rotation will feed 500
woodchucks through the season. As
woodchucks are worth 80 cents head
in the fall when they are fat, this will
make an income of $3.50 year from
an acre of poor land at a very slight
outlay of labor
The chief reason for rearing wood
chucks is that it costs nothing to keep
them during the winter. Every farmer
works through the summer to provide
winter food for his stock His cows,
horses and sheep eat into his silos ard
hay mows, his hens and pigs dispose of
his grain, and if he keeps Belgian hares
they must be fed on chopped clover,
grain and vegetables from the middle
of September~to June l. A woodchuck
goes into winter quarters late in Sep
TENDER. and does not emerge until May
10, thus saving its feed for the farmer
to sell to those who keep hens and
hares. More than 200 acres of land in.
northern Penobscot County will be de-
voted to woodchuck culture the coming
season.

If there is no loss by friction or leaking
of air. But to allow fer as much Of
these as cannot be avoided in practice,
a fairly good pump will raise water
twenty-five feet. Now, if we arrange
Il bent pipe as in the diagram, and
draw the water over the hill to the
outlet by pump attached to it, and
then remove the pump, the water will
continue to flow in spite of Obstacles
over a hill or elevation OF twenty-five
feet. This is because the longer col
umn of water in the outlet pipe draws
the water over the hill, for the reason
that as the water flows from the lower
end of course it makes vacuum or
empty space on the other end of the
pipe in which there is no air, and the
pressure of the air on the water of the
spring instantly cOmpels the water to
flow up the pipe and over the top and
down to the outlet So that if the well
is not over twenty-five or twenty-siX
feet deep, and the outlet of the pipe
is more than this, the water will con-
tinue TO flow, once it is drawn over the
elevation. But, as water always has
some air dissolved iii it, and this es-
capes as the water flows up the pipe,
1t collects at the top, and, in time
makes q large bubble, which stops the
water, until the air is got out and a
new start is made. This is done by
filling the pipe at the place marked at
the top, closing each end by taps pro-
vided for this, and then starting the
flow again.
