Pear GROWING POPULAR.

Every class of fruit has its day with
the amateur. just now the pear is on
the rising tide vof popularity and is
being doomed by the nursery agent,

it is necessary for the prisoners to
camp out, so this steel car was con-
structed for the purpose of combining
the convicts while working in the out
lying districts. The cage is twenty
feet long by eight feet six inches wide,
and is eight feet from floor to roof.
It is divided into two compartments;
the larger one, for the prisoners, con-
tains twelve hunks, and the smaller one
has two hunks for the guards. The
whole thing requires six horses to pull
it over the country roads.-V. w. Gould,

Care OF Horses In Spring.

Called shoulders are very common in
the spring when the horses are first put
to work, and are easier prevented than
cured, especially if the animal is kept
at work. 1t is very important to see
that the collars and harness fit proper,
"; then the collars should be kept
clean; keeping the collars well oiled
will be a help, Wash the shoulders al
noon and night with soft water after
removing the harness. When the teams
are stopped for a rest in the field, pull
the collars away from thei horses
shoulders; in this way gals may gen
orally be preVented.-Midland Farmer

hook.
With a little practice, manure may
be spread, with this rig in winter, with
very little fork work. For spreading,
a block is fastened to the runners be-
hind that stops the box at the proper
angle to let the manure slide down and
pay out slowly as the team moves
along.
The angle must be different according
to the kind of manure, the absorbent
used in the stable, and the amount of
straw or other substance used for bed

that the danger is now very remote. A
good deal Of unnecessary uneasiness
has been manifested at the high level
