Bits and DOCKING.

The horse, the most useful of all
Of mems ill-treatment. For the most
part housed in ill-lighted, ill-ventilated
and ill-smelling quarters, worked to It's
full capacity, cared for only to the de-
gree that selfish interest prompts, the
animal is delivered Over as the I'M
protected object of the unrestrained
passions of nan The average man
fails apparently to understand that ami
mails have a nervous system, among
them to a marked degree the horse, and
that were he to govern his w tenn
per he could, with a little patience, get
control of the horses nervous system,
and make out of it a servant vastly
more efficient than it is under the sys-
tenn in which he beats and jerks and
drives it to distraction.
A short walk in any city Will dis
cover many blind horses. Why? There
are no blind cows, comparatively. And
yet the sight of the one naturally is as
ence is simply that the horse from the
beginning has been abused, ill-housed,
overworked and worked under condi-
lions that have driven him blind. His
eyes are Shut in by binders at each
side, for which there is no use but to
satisfy the caprice or fashion Of man.
So, his vision interfered with and de-
prived of air, the wonder is that with
the other treatment he gets he is not
blind oftener. Besides this, in other
cases. his neck is almost pulled u Of
joint by overhead check reins that raise
his face to the air and urn his eyeballS
to the glare of the sun unprotected.
Or, on the other hand, deprived of
check rein, he is bitted with a curb
that pulls his jaws to his breast and
tortureS him in this fashion. And,
then, according to the spreading FASH
ion of the day, he is subjected to the
most cruel of all practices, docking,

THE FAITHFUL MULE.
He Will Be Accorded Unusual Honors
and Prominence at the st.
Louis Exposition.

In case the plans of the chief of the
fair meet the approval of the manage
ment, the mule and his kin will be &C
corded unusual honors at ST. Louis next
year. A lack of knowledge exists as to
the varied utilities of the mule, but this
display at the fair will be an eye-opener
in this respect.
The mule has invaded the north to
stay, and We confidently expect quite a
demand from the northern farm. Never
were the three great embarrassing states,
Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee, SO
raked and scraped for mules of all
classes and ages as at the present time.
Not only are the farmers who raise and
those who feed sure of handsome profits,
but the dealer counts on a wide and sure
margin. These latter come from every
part of the country to buy anything of
the ~long-eared type, from the smallest
colt to the fancy teams and high-priced
Jacks. Choice colts are selling at $50
to $500, while fancy teams bring $3.50 to
5000.
Good-sizeds t~wo-year-old mules are
put to work and do good service until 25
years old, and are not subject to disease.
Mules are more easily broken to work
than horses, and who ever heard of a
team of mules running away and tear
ing things up? If they run, it is a very
short and wild run
Who ever heard of a balky mule? No
team will carry a buggy along smoother
and nicer than a span of small, we'll
broken mules. In fact, a 5000 span of
mules will do more work than a $500
pair of horses.
The mule is easily raised, easily
broken to work, docile, trusty, hardy,

ster has in the way of work animals

WITH THE BEEKEEPERS.

Strong colonies protect themselves
against robbers and bee-moths.
In rendering beeswax, use a tin, brass
or copper vessel. An iron one will
darken it.
In making candy to feed bees be
careful not to burn it. Burnt candy
will kill them.
In France, according to government
figures, for the ten years ending with
1901, the average number of colonies
was 1904 ALI; honey per colony 10
pounds, II ounces; wax per colony
three pounds.
Rainwater is the right thing to use
in melting wax. Well water, especially
that where yellow clay or red sand
abounds in the soil, contains iron. and
this browns the wax. no matter how
carefully the melting be done.
DR.. c. G. Miller says in Clean
ings that heretofore the largest yield
he ever got from one colony was 1872
sections, but last year he got 800 sec
lions from one colony, with a number
of other colonies yielding nearly as
well. He credits these large yields 10
the selection of the best stores to breed
from, and to the phenomenal flow of
white clover, which the bees stored I'M
til nearly mid-October.

Artificial

The manufacture of artificial phos-
plate has recently been undertaken at
Magdeburg, Germany, under the for
mula of Herr VOTERS. There is melted
in a reverberatory furnace a mixture of
100 parts of phosphorite crushed to a
coarse size. 70 parts of acid sulphate of
soda, 20 parts of carbonate of lime, %
parts CT sand and six to seven parts of
cinders. The melted mixture is poured
into a receptacle filled with water, where
it cools, becoming granny. The granu-
larry mass is then taken from the water
and after drying is placed in a crusher
which reduces it to ineness. This prod
uct is said to be superior as a fer
tilizer to natural observation-disclosures

Spring and Fall Broods.

1t is our practice to raise two broods
yearly, n in the spring and another in
the fall. The young are weaned at four
or five weeks of age and put upon a diet
Of warm sweet separator milk to which
is added a little wheat middlings, and
later cornmeal and middlings mixed.
We aim to give them all the milk that
they can handle. At all times the young
pigs are allowed to pasture in an orchard
in which there is also running water.
This gives them exercise and a chance
to take frequent baths during the hot
summer days.-Rural New Yorker.

provided with a fresh supply. 1t Will
require extra good care to keep the
fowls healthy on this diet, however.
If a yellowish tinge is desired, it may
be obtained by feeding a grain ration
to which ten pei cent. of animal meat
has been added, and the whole mixed
with water. A grain mixture wet with
whey will also give good results.-Prai-

For a number of years l had pain in my head around my
eyes, and l thought it was because my eyes needed treat
ment, SO Invent to an oculist and had glasses fitted to my
eyes and wore them for some time, but felt no relief
whatever. In fact, ! felt worse than before, and came to
the conclusion that the trouble was not with my eyes, but
with my head and that it must be catarrh. As so many
of my friends had used Peruna with benefit for this
trouble, l thought would try it. 1 was not sorry that
| did SO, for in a short time | began to improve, and in
four weeks my eyes were in splendid condition, my
general health was much improved and all the catarrh

A PHYSICIANS Advice.

Yorktown, Ark, March 7th.-Dodd's
hldney Pills must not be COMPOUNDED with
the ordinary patent medicine. They are a
new discovery, a specific for all diseases
OF the Kidneys and have been accepted by
physicians only after careful tests in ex-
IRENE cases. DR.. Leland Williamson, Of
TINS place, heartily endorses Dodd's Kid
nney Pills "as a remedy for the various
forms of the diseases of the Kidneys, pains
IN the back, soreness in the region of the
Moneys, foul-smelling urine and cloudy or
thlckened condition of the urine, dis
charges of pus or corruption; Gout, Rheu-
matism, Inflammation and Congestion of
the Kidneys and all kindred complaints. st
Continuing, he says:
Il could mention many cases in which
1 have prescribed Dodd's Kidney Pills
with success. For instance, Mr.. Robert
Weeks, farmer, malaria haematuria or
swamp fever three times, kidneys weak
ened, continual pain and soreness in back,
which made him very nervous, had a little
fever and sometimes chilly. Urine change

Not Quite a Kick.

A few years ago a man living near
Wichita had an only daughter. She married
and went to live at Emporia. After her
marriage her parents sold their farm and
small hotel and made good returns. One
day the daughter and her husband came
for a visit. They remained two days, then
another, and made no movement toward
home. Finally the father-landlord called
his son-in-law to his side and said: What
a pity, John, that you and Mary didn't
come to visit us at the farm. We were
not keeping hotel then and it wouldn't
have cost you d cent to nave staid as long
as you wanted to."-Wichita Eagle.

The i%nferiOrity of oats as a whole ra-
ton or even when constituting the ma
jor part of it is very marked in these
result. Wheat gave much the best re-
suits of any single food, while, with the
chicken as with all other stock, a mix
ture OF grains gives larger yields than
any n single grain. We think very
likely the failure to make a better
showing on oats alone was due to the
TACT that the hull makes this such a
bulky feed that the hens could not
secure sufficient nutriment to make a
large egg yield possible.

II than any other physician
toward p~opularizing a means of
escape from the facial deformities, such
as watery eyes, twisted nose, offensive
breath, dry cracked lips, due to the

He has made chronic catarrh a life

known as Peruna, is the most famous
remedy for catarrh in existence.
Probably thereisn not a man or woman,
boy or girl, within the bounds of the
