DOCKING HORSES.

Cruel and Unnecessary-A Foolish
important Fad.
AS a member of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, |
beg leave to be allowed to say q few
words in answer to the letter of W. H
AsshetOn published in your columns
recently, writes Samuel Garner Of An
chief burden of Mr. Asshetons wall
is the choice selection of opprObriOus
epithets which he hurls at our society
for the sO-called arguments he uses in
defense of the cruel practice he advO-
Gates are merely the creations of his
own imagination. Like the lawyer
who knows he has a bad cause, he I'M
dertalles to strengthen his case by
abusing his opponents.
How many lives" says Mr.. Asshe-
ton, of men, women and children have
been saved by this operation (docking)
it is, Of course, impossible to esti-
mate"
Certainly, / agree with him; no such
estimate is possible, because. except
in Mr.. AsshetOn's own imagination
no man probably ever lost his life on
account of his horse having a long
tail; and even if he did, he very like,
ly deserved it because of his foolish,
ness and inefficiency as a driver. It
has often been said, and said with
truth, that horse rarely, if ever, has
any bad traits except such as are at
tributable to his bad training when
young. Horses are like children
when not properly educated they show
it in after life. In an experience OF
over 40 years both in the handling OF
horses and seeing others handle them
] have never known horse either to
get frightened, run off, or kick when
he got his tail over the reins, and ]
have probably owned some as good
and highs pirited animals as ever Mr.
AsshetOn sat behind.
AS a fact Mr.. Assheton seems to
have had a particularly unfortunate
experience as a horseman, as he as,
serts he would not allow his wife to
drive one of his unlocked horses
That his animals are so dangerous
may be explained in one of two ways
namely, that either he has displayed
in their training some of that igno-
rance and hysteria which he attributes
to our society, or else he is breeding
a very vicious strain of horses.

How to Economic With Eggs.

Leftover yolks of eggs if put at
once into tumbler of cold water will
keep fresh and soft for several days.
If dropped into cup and covered
the yolks would be unfit for use the
second day. The leftover whites of
eggs may be made into macaroons,
kisses. or used for meringues. The
whites Of two eggs with quarter of
q pound of sugar and the same guam
tity of almond paste will make two
dozen macaroOns. Where hard boiled
yOlks are wanted it is much better to
break the eggs, separate carefully the
yOlks from the whites and drop the
yOlks into water that is boiling hot;
cook slowly for twenty minutes. IN
this way you save the whites for an
other purpose.-Mrs. S. T. ROrer in
the March Ladies' Home Journal.

OIL TO MAKE FUEL
MINNEAPOLIS MILLS EXPERT
MENT WITH OIL FROM TEXAS.
is CHEAPER THAN COAL
Present Difference Hardly Enough to
Warrant Change, but Freight May
be Lowered-Street Railway Com
pany now Giving the New Fuel
Trial.

Minneapolis, March 30.--If expert
ments that will be made in few days
prove successful the Minneapolis flour
mills will shortly be using oil for fuel
instead OF coal. The Washburn- CIos-
by company, the prime mover in this
direction. has been making investiga-
lions. The other large milling com
panieS are also interested and should
the Washburn-CrOsby company un-
dertahe the use of oil the others will
probably follow.
The advantage would be twO-fold. Ii
would be more easily handled than
coal and it would cleaner. Oil can
now be bought in the Beaumont oil
fields of Texas at 10c per barrel. TIL
is the crude oil, which would have to
be settled before it could be used for
fuel. The main thing to be figured
upon therefore is the freight. In tank
cars the present rate from Beaumont
to Minneapolis is 42c per 100 pounds
which makes the cost about $40 per
barrel laid down here. This is not
cheap enough to make it worth while
to substitute oil for coal. but if freight
rates could be lowered sufficiently to
bring the cost down to 1925 per bar
rel or less it would pay.
The Twin City Rapid Transit com
pany has already undertaken a trial
Two tank cars of Beaumont oil will
arrive here this week and will be
tried at the plant in st. Paul This is
not the first time this company has
used fuel oil, but it is the first Texas
oil tried. The Washburn-C Crosby of
ticials viii wait for this test and if the
oil is all right they will go into the
matter thoroughly. In the winter
months the Washburn- Crosby company
uses about 200 tons Of coal day.
W, H. Boyey, engineer in charge OF
the plant, was asked if it would be
possible to use oil for fuel. MI BOvey
said it would be entirely practicable
if it were enough cheaper to warrant
some changes in the furnaces. To
use oil as fuel. said Mr.. Bovey. it
would be necessary to have d large
tank capable of holding a weeks sup
ply and this tank would have to be 10
Gated some distance away from the
building and probably would have to
be underground. Mr.. Bovey is famil-
lar with the use Of fuel oil from the
Pennsylvania wells, and believes that
if the Texas oil is Of equal quality, its
extensive use as fuel is certain TO
come about even in manufacturing
centers far away from Texas.
