THE HORSE ON THE FARM.
A Factor of Paramount Importance
to the Twentieth Gen.
fury Farmer.

The relation of horse labor to the
portance. 1t is not possible to utilize
modern agricultural machinery with
out the aid of the horse. A horse op-
Grating a corn planter, reaper of NOW
er can accomplish as much work as
eight or ten men. 1t is important,
therefore, that every farm should be
well equipped with an ample supply of
horses. There need be no supernumer-
aries, but a reserve in case OF sickness,
accident or death is about as necessary
as a reserve corps to an army engaged
in battle.
When there is only enough to con-
duct the farm operations, in case OF
accident the work on the farm suffers
and the profits of the season are re-
duced.
1t is well to have an extra horse for
an emergency, for if there is a shortage
at a critical time serious losses occur.
The horses should be of sufficient
weight to perform their task easily,
otherwise proper cultivation can not be
consummated. If the horses are too
light they can, in many of the farm
operations, be worked three abreast,
or to unicorn hitch, the leader working
ahead of the pole pair. A pair OF
horses can be worked to better advan-
tage than three horses. Two 1900
pound horses are more efficient in con-
ductipp farm operations than three l.
900 pound animals. The heavy horses
have the weight, power and endurance
to turn deep burrows and cultivate the
soil deeply. The help on the farm can
work to better advantage with two
than with three horses. A great mis-
take committed by some farmers is 10
| sell the heavy horses and retain those
that are actully too light for efficient
service.-Drovers' Journal.

Quoted along lines suggested by DIR. S.
Weir Mitchell, and the Carnegie insti-
tute has granted an appropriation to as
sist the work. Many experiments are
made with rattlesnakes, cobras and 9TH
or poisonous reptiles, and the effects OF
the venom upon animals are studied.
The physicians regard alcohol, taken
internally, as a valuable stimulant, but
not as an antidote. The most valuable
remedial agent is the intermittent liga-
ture-a band about the wounded limb,
which is loosened for an instant at
stated intervals, thus allowing the pois-
on to enter the system in very small
quantities. In this manner the patient
is enabled gradually to overcome the ef-
fects of the poison.-Youth's Compan-

Every issue of The Four-Track News makes
it easier for ticket agents and ticket sellers
to secure passengers for distant parts OF the

every illustration in The Four-Traek News
is an inducement for readers to travel and
see what a marvellous variety of scenery and
climate our own country possesses. The
more these facts are impressed upon the aver
age person, the more certain he or she is to
have a desire to travel. Therefore, The -Four

Washington, June 81 - he United
States supreme court has refused to
grant q writ Of habeas corpus ia the
case OF Whitaker Wright. The opin-
Ion afhrms the decision OF the United
States circuit court for. the Southern
district of New Y York, which held that
the crime alleged against Wright is
an extraditable offense under the
terms of the treaty between the United
States and Great Britain. Wright Is
in the custody Of Marshal Henkel, un.
der a warrant Of commitment issued
by United States Commiss Alex
ander of New York, before whom the
omplaint was made by the British
consul general at New York. That
complaint charged Wright with hav
ing committed fraud in England while
acting as director Of an English cor.
poration. An unsuccessful I. attempt
was made to secure his discharge by
the commissioner and later by the
court on the ground that the offense
charged was not one smade criminal
by the laws of both countries as re.
squired by the treaty. .g *$;:y ...zs
# The offense charged in this case,
Chief Justice Fuller held, is made
criminal by a British statute and also
by the penal code of the state of New
York, in which state Wright was ap.
pretended, the statute in both, cases
being essentially the same. He con
cluded, therefore, that the United
States commissioner who held Wright
for extradition had Jurisdiction.
