Detecting SPAWN in Horses.

1t is not often that matter in this de-
partment is quoted from other writer's,
but the following from DR.. A. S. Alex
ander in the Live Stock Journal is of great
Importance to horsemen and should be
widely circulated inasmuch as the writer
is a recognized authority on the horse.
when the buyer suspects that a SPAWN,
large or small, is present, yet finds lame
ness absent, possibly due to continuous
exercise or some preventive measure
adopted for the occasion, he can speedily
ascertain whether 1t is indeed present by
a simple test. Have an assistant lead the
horse out to halter and prepare to trot
him instantly at the word "go.' Now
lift up the foot of the suspected hind leg
and hold 1t as close to the horses belly
as possible for a few minutes. Suddenly
drop it and Immediately trot the horse,
when he will for the first few steps or
even rods, go intensely lame, but soon re-
cover. This is an unfailins test and
should be practiced in every case where
there is the slightest suspicion of a spav-

Guessworle in Feeding Cows.

Guessworle in Feeding Cows.
Even the most enthusiastic stickler for
balanced rations of some particular kind
will admit that the results produced from
his faVorite method are not always what
he hoped they would be. AS a matter of
fact when one admits the necessity Of
feeding a balanced ration of some kind
he has gone as far as he can with any de-
gree Of accuracy foE 1t does not follow
that what will suit one herd or one indi-
vidual cow will suit all others, so, after
all, the only correct test Of results are
found in the figures of the scales and the
results of the Babcock test. AS a matter
Of fact the dairyman who is conducting
his business without these methods of as
certaining the butter value of the milk
furnished by his COWS Is running great
risks. If the truth was known 1t would
probably be found that more than one
dairy was losing money and that some
other portion Of the farm was making
good the deficit. Look into the question
| now and see If 1t is not possible to get
hold Of these two necessary adjuncts to
the dairy farm.
Is Silage Safe for Sheep?
A number of correspondents lave asked
regarding the value Of corn ensilage for
sheep feeding during the winter. Replies
received from different authorities on the
subject shows that there Is considerable
difference OF opinion. one OF our expert
sheep raisers writes that his sheep have
| lone fine for several winters fed on silage
and alfalfa: another, equally expert in
sheep raising, claims that he has lost a
number of sheep and lambs from feeding
ensifage. A third authority, an expert
menter of note, writes that he does not
consider ensilage Of any particular value
for feeding sheep during the winter if
they can be provided with other A'een
food in the form of root props or good
clover hay, but he sees no danger in feed
ing ensilage in small quantities provided,
and he lays stress on this word, the en-
silage is Of good quality and the trough
is clean. He thinks the trouble comes
from leaving a portion Of the silage which
remains uneaten in the trough and put
ting in more until there is more or less
In the trough which is unfit to eat. To
be on the safe side it is advised that en-
silage be fed to sheep cautiously until
one finds 1t works.
Give Poultry Plenty Of Water.
Let the poultry, and especially the lay
ing hens, have all the water they will
drink during the winter and nave the wa
ter very warm and ave it clean. The de-
mand for water during the winter on the
part of animals and birds Is great but they
drink less than they should because it is
usually cold when given them. Don't be
satisfied with giving water to the fowls
once a day. but see that thew have 1t three

Treaty With France.

The signing of treaty with France,
10 be followed by similar treaties with
the other considerable powers Of Eu-
rope, is a modest but effective tTi-
umph of peace. This is the more
marked because among these other
powers there is to be exchange of sig
natOry agreements to maintain rela-
tons on a diplomatic basis, and refer
to The Hague any difference too great
for ordinary methods Of settlement.
A treaty between nations is : sol
emn mutual obligation. Violation OF
it is not merely an act of war, bat re-
gardsd by neutral governments as
most Teprehensible. Treaties cannot
be so formulated as to be unbreaka-
bic, but in the present instances, the
method Of avoiding this possibility is
we'll nigh perfect.
1t Is appropriate that France should
be first TO enter into the compact, for
that nation has demonstrated bul
lately its detestation of war. II has
the bitter memories OF strife, and it
has the experience of the calm and
benefcent satisfaction that comes of
inOnensive industry, and it likes bet
ter the present. Time was when
French armies were the terror Of a
continent, and the ruling mood to
strike any head that showed. When
there was threat of rupture between
England and Russia the other day, it
was French tact that suggested the
way TO settlement without clash Of
arms.
Wars there viii be, but the danger
OF war bet-~sn peoples fully civilized
grows less and less, and every treaty
signed is in token Of the betterment.

Graft in Business

The term graft has been forced into
the language and by common usage
shorn Of its quotation marks. 1t
covers an acknowledged system.
This system can hardly be regarded
as mere theft, for it involves more.
II includes an elaborate device, not
always incompatible with good stand
ing in business and society. The per
sons who practice it would blush TO
pick a pocket, and never yield to the
impulse 10 crack a safe. They are
more refined in sentiment than the
wicked who do these things, and their
methods more delicate.
The principal field for the CRATER
is politics, especially Of the municipal
variety. The story in relation to this
is sickeningly familiar It will con-
tiuue to be told while the boss re-
mains a power, the public pilfeTer de-
fies Jail, and the decent element OF
the populace deems itself too good to
go TO the primaries and the polls.
The remedy, at least so far as punt
tive measures are concerned, is sim
pie All that is needed is enough

and a bench freed from corruption.
From exposure Of municipal graft
there has arisen a practice OF expos
ing the graft that TO an extent per

euces drawn from il are unjust The

There are honest men in abundance.
There are men who cannot be pur-

for the moral lesson that would be

The maids, following, were Miss Fran

is little for the average boy to do but
play in the streets. This condition
has half a dozen evil aspects; the
play is never SO bealthful as that in a
real play ground; the safety and
peace of mind of passers-by are con-
unuously threatened; and the shad-
Owy line between genuine recreation
and disturbance of the peace is
crossed every day.

gauge that kind of play, and they in
Yariably gauge it as disastrous. Their
judgment would be, like that Of The
Times and every other observer OF
events in Washington that 1t IS a
measure Of civic economy to provide
abundant play grounds for the chill
dren and youth OF the city and to
equip those play grounds with appara-
tus enough TO interest the whole

Panama's Temper.

A year having passed since the es-
Enlistment Of Panama's independ-
euce, President Amador has issued a
proclamation. In this he mentions
the high ideals that he lis pleased to
recognize in the official acts of the
United States Government, our best
and noble ally" He adds that he
awaits with confidence the ending of
all differences as the true interests of
both nations demand.
The attention OF President AmadOr
is respectfully called to the fact that
he has been neglecting 20 read the
Democratic press. Such esteemed
contemporaries as the "World" or
Times" of New York. have for many
weeks been trying to impress upon
him a knowledge that his devoted
country was being trampled upon, and
the heel marks OF the tyrant on the
neck of himself might be discerned

OF the city would form a regular

was published too late in the football
