THE CAUSE OF BALKlNESS.
To Avoid Trouble from This Cause
Colts Must Be Trained bya
Sensible Method. "

! The cause of balkiness is not always
the same. 1t is usually, if not always,
due to improper handling in one way
or another. 1t is sometimes due to
putting the~c colt to a heavy load too
suddenly. before he has learned to pull,
or when he has sore shoulders. To
avoid trouble from this source a writer
IN the Gazette suggests the following
plan. The plan that I suggest does
much the same for q horses shoulders
as biting does for his mouth. It &C.
customs the shoulders to pressure, and
that In such gradual way that the
colt trains himself and stands properly
to his collar from the beginning of his
lessons in harness. This method I find
specially useful for the over-willing,
high-strung horse not bred for draft
Fix pulley behind the horses stall
or In some other convenient place
about as high as the horses stiles,
then run a rope up over another pull
ley and attach a light weight to 1t
sufficient to keep the rope fully taut
When fastened to the horses single
tree, which Is attached to the tugs in
the ordinary way, tie the horse as long
as you safely can and securely. The
weight must be of the ground all the
time. The horse may come back to the
end of this halter for a time, but he
will gradually brace himself to hold
up q light weight, as it is more COM
Portable for him. This may be put on
the horse at feeding time If nervous
horse and taken off the first few times
before he has done eating. After q
while increase the weight, but the
more nervous he is the more gradually
this should be done. When you are
passing by give the rope pull and
put some Of your weight on it. He will
soon brace against it, and mind he does
not catch your fingers in the pulley.
II the horse has been badly baked
previously and his shoulders have been
hurt he should have a set of springs
him from jerking his shoulders. II
you have not these take him out in the
yard with a rope on his singletree and
pull back on this as much or as little
as seems necessary. Then hook him
and back him up a little few times.
Study his actions and do not start him
up until the right moment. The chances
are, however, that he will have be-
come so Indifferent to the collar and
so habituated to standing up to It that
he will move quietly of.
would like to make one suggestion
In addition, and that is to fasten colt
back with two side-lines on his halter
or leather nose band, so that when
he lunges ahead he will not jerk his
mouth. A colt naturally thinks that
the driver yanks him, when most OF
the time he does it himself.

Effect of Feed on Wool.

The manner and regularity Of feed
ing sheep will determine to consid-
cradle degree the quality Of the wool.
1t is the opinion Of our best shepherds
that the wool is tough or tender &C.
cording to the thriftiness OF the sheep.
While the sheep are being well fed
they produce a strong wool. Now let
conditions change and the sheep pass
through a period when they are but
poorly fed,. and the wool that is made
durine that tima becomes weak in ten
size strength. So walk places appear
in the wool. This Is a plea for the
continuous good feeding of sheep. The
theory has not, - far as we know,
been proved by any elaborate expert
ments, but it is belief strongly In
trenched in the minds OF practical
men. Moreover it is in accord with
roaSon--Farmers' Review.

SURVIVAL OF THE BICYCLE.
Thousands Of the Wheels Are Still
7 in Use All Over the @..r
Country. ~.~F =

Boston held a bicycle reunion tie
other day, which added a picturesque
page to sporting history. Five thousand
men and women tailed in the line which
pedaled over Chestnut hill, with delega-
tons from every town of considerable
size in the bay state. What made this
parade of unusual interest, says the H.
Illustrated Sporting News, was the sight
of archaic bicycles of vintages unknown
In this generation, portraying the evolu-
ton of the wheel of to-day, all the way
from the bone shaker of our GRANDPA
theirs.
The modern pneumatic-tired wheel In
this parade typified the rise and decline
Of "craze" of colossal proportions. A
its zenith the whole world seemed to b.
riding wheels or seeking the where
withal to own them. How the automo-
bile has invaded this field among the
classes which could afford to choose its
pastimes, without close watch on the
cost, is shown in an interesting fashion.
by the advertising pages of high-class
monthly magazine. In March of 1900
there were 16 different advertisements
of bicycles, from one-half page to full
page each and in the same number only
two displays of automobiles, by two
manufacturers, covering two pages OF
the magazine. For March Of this year
the same magazine contained Is pages OF
automobile advertising, representing 20
different manufacturers, and one page Of
bicycle advertising. While the consoli-
dation of bicycle interests has decreased
the competition in advertising, yet these
figures give fair estimate Of the reversal
Of popularity worked out in four years
among the people who could afford to
shift their form of pastime.
Eight years ago $4,000 bicycles were
ridden in Philadelphia and $1,000 Of
these were owned by men and women
who used them between their homes and
their places of employment. To-day it
is probable that in that city II, 900 wheels
are used for practical convenience and
this class may have increased. But the
shrinkage Of interest has been among
the IS 900 who used them wholly for
pastime, and the same process has been
going on, in greater or less degree, all
over the country. Yet the "craze" in its
height did great things in pushing the
good roads movement and in rejuvenat-
ing the country hotels, whose benefits
were reaped by the automobile when it
became popular. The bicycle is by no
means back number, but it has ceased
to be an Epidemic.

Too Much Salt Kills Hogs.

From time to time We hear abouF
hogs being killed >as result of salt
and brine. One man says that in his VI
cinity the ice cream makers threw out
the salt from the freezers and the hogs
ate it and died. Other hogs also drank
the brine from it and died. There is no
necessity of putting the matter to tho
test. A little salt is a good thing, but
there is no doubt that a great deal Of salt
will kill almost any animal. There
would seem to be NO mystery connected
with the killing Of pigs by salt when 1t
is eaten in large quantities.-Farmers'

ALMSHOUSE FOR HORSES.
Generosity Of Pennsylvania Woman
Provides Comfort for Worn
Out Animals.

Horses that have outlived their use
fulness have better fate in store fer
them now than the boneyard. Through
the generosity of Mrs. Ryerss. of Fox
Chase, Pa, $4,000 was willed for the
founding Of home for equine heroes
who have had their day, and to this
unique establishment owners of horses
no longer fit for duty may send theil
favorites, assured that they will receive
the best of treatment and be permitted
to end their lives in restful contentment
1t costs nothing to keep horse at the
Ryerss infirmary, as the almshouse for
horses is called. The horse must be
brought to the gate of the institution;
after that all expenses are borne by the
executors of the Ryerss will.
About twoscore animals are at pres
ent enjoying the placid seclusion of the
home. Among them are old fire horses,
heroes of the police patrol, family pets,
veterans of the shafts from the CONNER
cial world, bony old carriage horses, and
one ancient Shetland pony, the prettiest
of the lot, even in his ragged age.
A certain allowance Of hay and oats
is made the horses night and morning.
They are not expected to- do anything
but eat, drink and sleep. They are at
tended by veterinary surgeon when
they have any ailment, are watched and
cared for with the utmost solicitude by
the superintendent and his assistants.
and live lives of quiet ease, with nothing
to do and all day in which to doit. When
they die they are given over to the
"knacker" The Ryerss will made no
provision for the burial Of the horses,
as some think it should.
At first the Ryerss inflrmary was a
home for aged dogs as we'll as horses,
but the dogs so harried the lives of the
poor old steeds and proved such bur-
den on the management because of their
unfortunate tendency to go mad on the
slightest provocation, that it was de-
creed by the executors of the will that
they must be banished from the scheme
of things at the Ryerss infirmary. Moth
ing now disturbs the peaceful serenity
of life at the almshouse for horses. Far
removed frob the beaten track of travel
for Bustleton, despite it's formidable
name, is one of the quietest and most
humdrum of little villages-the aged
animals live in contentment until the
time comes for them to die.
