THE POISONING OF HORSES.

Horses are often seriously poisoned
and sometimes killed by eating hay
containing the so-called "foxtail, "
"horsetail," "pinetop" meadow
pine" or ''rush," known botanically
as Equisetum arvense. This fact has
been conclusively proved by expert
ments made at the Vermont Expert
ment Station. Many practacal far
mers and horsemen became con-
WINGED years ago that this kind of
poisoning occurs, but their obser-
vations have disagreed and contra
dicted until the matter had to be set
tied by scientific experiment.
These experiments have been con-
Quoted by DR.. F. A. Rich, veterinarian,
and Prof. L. R, Jones, botanist, of the
Vermont Experiment Station, and
their conclusions have just been made
public.
Amongst other tests, "swale hay"
containing considerable quantities of
"rush," or "foxtail," was fed to horses.
Symptoms of poisoning followed and
the horses died from the effects.
Numerous similar cases of accidental
poisoning have been studied.
Many farmers who have noticed the
bad effects of feeding "swale hay"
have laid the blame upon the ferns or
"brakes" which it contained. This
seems to be entirely mistake. The
equisetum alone should be con-
demned.
Horses are the only animals seri-
ously affected by this weed. Sheep
may possibly be hurt by it, but that is
question. Cows eat it with i'm
punity.
In the horse equisetum produces a
nervous affection characterized by
loss of muscular ordination. He
reels and staggers like a drunken
man, as the disease progresses, be-
comes unable to stand, goes down,
other nervous symptoms develope and
death results in from four days to two
weeks.
Horses seem to acquire a taste for
equisetum hay and eat it by prefer
ence. Young animals and those not
yet receiving grain are most suscep-
tible to the poisoning action of the
weed.

Ready Wit, Ready Money.

The University of Pennsylvania has
not large endowment, and that it
finds the means to pay it's current ex
penses and put up new buildings is
due in great measure to it's provost,
Charles @. Harrison. His little black
subscription book is we'll known in
many a downtown office-too we'll
known, prominent broker told
him not long ago. Mr.. Harrison
was pleading persistently with him
for subscription, but in vain. FL
nally the broker said:
"See here, Mr.. Harrison, will give
you something on one condition"
"Very well, Mr.. T." said the
provost, ''name it.'
''The condition is that you promise
never to come into my Office again
until 1 ask you to do So"
"Certainly, Mr.. Tt agree to
that" said the provost promptly, and
walked out smiling with check for
81 600
A month or so later the broker
heard a knock at his door. sCome
in" he called, and in walked Mr..
Harrison. He had the black book
under his arm.
"Good morning, Mr.. To he
said; 81 want you to help me with a
little university matter, ann
"Look here, Mr.. HARRISON" the
broker continued, "when I gave you
that last thousand dollars wasn't it
on the express condition that you
wouldn't come into my Office again
until l invited you?"
"Why, yes" returned the provost,
81 believe that was the understanding
But didn't you say come in just now
when knocked?''
They say the check this time was
for five thousand Philadelphia Times

OUR FARMERS.
Composition of Eggs.

There is practically no difference in
composition between hens eggs with
dark shells and those with white shells,
although there is a popular belief that
the former are richer" This point
was studied by the New York State
and California Experiment Stations,
many analyses of the two sorts of eggs
being made. At the California ex-
pertinent station the brown shelled
eggs were laid by Partridge Cochins,
Dark Brahmas, Black Langshans,
Wyandottes and Barred Plymouth
Rocks. The white-shelled eggs were
laid by Brown Leghorns and Buff Leg
horns, White Minorcas and Black
Minorcas. The Michigan experiment
station also analysed the eggs of
number of different breeds, though
the special object was not to deter
mine whether there was any relation
between the color of the shell and the
composition of the eggs. However,
no constant variation in the eggs of
the different breeds was observed.
These tests and others like them JUS
tify the statement that the eggs of one
breed, whatever the color of the
shells, are as nutritious as those of
another, provided they are of the
same size aud the fowls are equally
we'll fed.-Health.

The Greatest Curse

Writing on "The Greatest Curse, -
Mrs. Marietta Holley, better known
under the nom de plume of "Josiah
Aliens Wife," says
"The saloon is the greatest curse of
the present day, the fountainhead
from whence flow streams of evil. 1t
fills our prisons with criminals, our
insane asylums with victims, and
our graveyards with paupers' graves.
1t turns happy homes into barren
wastes. 1t debauches and ruins the
husband, the son, the father; it de-
stroys the happiness of the wife, the
mother, the daughter. 1t clothes
them in rags, starves them and breaks
their hearts.
Sand for what? That a few men
may grow rich and flourish on the
burnt ashes of homes. Every con-
scientious thinker admits that all
have said is only the sad truth. Then
why allow this terrible cause of crime
and wretchedness to go on? Why
not inaugurate war against it that
would overthrow it? If every good
man should vote as his better nature
dictates, this evil would be abolished
Do not say that it is hopeless to war

THE BOY ON THE FARM.

Deiug nat1Ve OF the country or OF
city has much to do with ones life
history, and strange to say, it is youth
spent in the country, with all its lin
ltatlons and lack of advantages, that
seems to give the best chance of sue
cess, though the vast majority of tri-
umphs are necessarily won in the
cities. Senator Dolliver declares that
nearly all great men in America were
from the farm.
The late President Mckinley when
travelling through the west shortly
before his death, saw through the car
window, barefoot farmer boy. He
remarked to his companions that
"that was the kind of boy he had
BEEN" The party included the cab
met, three governors of states, and
four United States senator's; yet every
one of them confessed that he had
been just as humble and just as rustic
in his early years.
Replies from forty successful men,
collated by Rev. Charles Townsend, a
Cleveland pastor, shows that only
eight were born in cities. Of the re-
mainder, TWENTY-FIVE were born on
farms, and ten in small villages. The
boyhood of these men was passed
largely in the same surroundings,
three moving from farms to villages
while boys, but only one from farm
to city. However, at the average age
of sixteen, all these successful men
went into the cities to try for fortune.
Only two men out of the forty had
we'll TODD parents. All the rest bore
the yoke of poverty. Only six stated
that their early advantages were good,
and only three were willing to say
that there had been no lack felt in
youth.
sit is rather curious to consider why
so few New Workers have become
prominent" says Charles F. Wingate.
'In published list of one hundred
leading citizens of the metropolis,
over ninety were shown to be country
bred. Seth Low, Theodore Roosevelt,
George Gould, Louis Tiffany, Charles
W. Dayton, Stuveysant Fish, Perry
Belmont and Edward M Shepard were
"to the manner born," but the leading
divines, editors, doctors, artists and
business men are from other states or
other lands. Is it from lack of mental
or physical vigor that the city stock
is distanced by these competitors?
The same conditions exist in London,
Paris, Berlin, and other European
cities, which are filled with strangers
from the provinces, who, because of
their greater energy and capacity,
supplant the city-bred men.
The country boy often bemoans his
lack of chance as did Clay, Webster,
and thousands of others, and thinks
his youth among the rocks, the noun
tains and the forests has been almost
thrown away; and he longs for the
time when he can shake off his farm
letters, and flee to the city where
there is opportunity. But years after
in some great legislative emergency,
perhaps in some contest with the city
bred youth, the rocks, the mountains,
the streams, the granite hills, which
had unconsciously entered into the
fibre and stamina of his life, rush to
his assistance and force his city
opponent to the wall.-Enchange.

city, but in this case it is necessary to
say so, if one would tell the truth
about the handsome creations in the
millinery which are displayed by this
house.
There are no old shop worn goods
being shown to the crowds that have
congregated at this popular store to-
day. Neither are the styles those
which were worn a year ago back
east, but everything is new and strict
ly up to date.
There were many ladies present in
the Fashion, when the Sentinel report

can be- and other extravagant moth
