A Thirsty Horse on a Hot Day.

How much water can horse drink
without feeling any i'll effects? Here is
question that several people connected
with KenSington mill are asking them
selves. A man left his horse and buggy
in front of the office for half an hour the
other day, first tipping the boy nickel
to give the horse bucket of water.
Soon after the manager went out, and,
seeing the horse with its little bonnet
getting dry, he wet the headgear and
gave the animal second bucket OF wa
ter. A clerk going out for luncheon
was moved with compassion to water the
horse, and he was followed by travel
ing salesman, who offered the apparent
ly thirsty animal fourth bucket. The
horse drank them all, as we'll as fifth
bucket held mp to him by a benevolent
boy. Finally, the proprietor came out
and exclaimed: THAT horse must have
some water" He was told that it al
ready had had five buckets, but said
"No matter; give it chance at sixth.
1t won't drink unless it wants it." The
horse drank sixth bucket of water and
still lives.-Philadelphia Record.

Thinning Out the Flocks.

1t is claimed by fruit growers that the
most difficult lesson to teach novice is
to thin off the fruit when the trees are
overloaded. One of the most important
duties on the part of the pOultryman is
that of thinning out the flocks. As long
as some of the hens are laying there is an
inclination for others to begin, and time
passes by, every day being one of expec-
fancy, but the hens do not lay. Weeks
of labor and feeding result, all in the
hope that the Improbable hens will soon
begin to lay, but not until the weather is
warm do the hens give full quota OF
eggs. This condition of affairs is so
well known that it is familiar to all who
are interested in poultry. The remedy
is to take no chances with Improbable
hens. If you wait for them to begin
you may meet AN expense too great to
be repaid. Get rid of the idle hens and
keep only those that are giving profit.
1t is better to possess flock of a dozen
hens that are doing service in egg pro-
duction than to have twice that number
upon which you can rely for the future,
but which are giving no profit at present.

New Rules of Cattle Commission.

Cattle for dairy and breeding purposes
NAV be imported into the state by per-
init from a member of the cattle COM
mission, otherwise they will be subject
to quarantine ut the owners expense.
If any person owning animals suspected
of being diseased makes lawful applica-
ton to the cattle commissioners for an
examination of such animal and If the
symptoms are not sufficiently developed
to warrant the destruction of the animal,
the commissioner or his agent making
the examination may make an agreement
with the owner to the effect that If said
animal reacts under the tuberculin test,
the state shall pay for such testing,
otherwise the owner shall pay the ex-
penses incurred. Upon application OF
the board of health, municipal officers,
or citizens and taxpayers of the several
cities and towns within the state, the
commissioners stand ready to promptly
investigate and examine such cases as
are reported to them. The commission
ers are to be regarded as the examiners
or Judges of suspected animals, and con-
slider it the duty of boards of health, and
any others who may be interested or az
fected by diseased animals, to notify
them of any and all cases which may be
dangerous to the health of the COM
munity.-New England Homestead.
