Where animals are kept in the stable
during the summer months, as, for eX-
ample, work horses or, in some in
stances. the breeding stock, nothing
contributes so much to their comfort
as that of protecting them from flies.
Animals that are kept busy fighting
flies require more food to keep them
in condition, and, indeed, it is impossi-
bic with an unlimited supply Of food
to keep them in proper condition.
Advantage should he taken of the
fact that flies constantly tend to seek
the light places. A stable need not
be absolutely dark in order to prevent
annoyance from flies. and, in fact, we
do not believe i'll keeping stables too
dark, OH account of the fact that ami
mails are liable, If kept in such quar-
ters for any considerable length of
ny sack nailed over the windows of
the stable will greatly reduce the num-
Der of flies that will poster the ami
mails. These should not be nailed
down absolutely tight at the bottom.
or air will be excluded and the stable
will become warm and unhcalthful. Ii
the sacks are partly loose at the bottom
they will still shade the stable salts
factorily and at the same time admit
air. Horses placed in the stable for
an hour at noon will eat better, rest
better, and we cannot help but think
they will work better afterward, If
they are afforded some protection dur
ing the time they are in the stall. In
some of our better class of stables reg
ular window blinds are used, these b.

flies is necessary. 1t is claimed by

Stock Raising by Electricity.


According to n recent issue of the
Chicago Tribune, al electrical system
of stock-raising has been developed OH
n moderate scale at the University of
Michigan. Small animals, such as
rabbits, have already been forced into
matured size and plumpness in two
thirds of the period required by nature,
showing the possibility of reducing the
tedious development Of larger stock,
especially sheep or cows, by many
months. In several rooms of the cleo
laboratory, cheap wood
EN- pens, circular in form, have been
wound to the height of two feet with
electric wires. A moderate current of
one-half horse power circles these
electric pens. From its influence the
air inside the pens is made electro
magnetic, becoming a strong magnetic
field, with sixty-two lines of force to
the square inch. In these pens rabbits
have grown to maturity in two-thirds
of the time that rabbits near them
have developed in non-electrical pens.
These electrically nurtured animals
did not become larger than normal
rabbits: they merely arrived at normal
size quicker. Furthermore, as is the
case with dollhouse flowers, they We're
found less hardy than their slower
brothers. But, for the livestock mar
ket, the forced animals had an unex-
cclled tenderness and -plumpness.

Diskins Land for Corn.

A correspondent writes us that hav-
ing heard Of quite successful corn
growing in Illinois without p.owing
the land first. inquiries whether one
can safely disk the corn land, list and
plant without the usual breaking.
Sometimes the lighter prairie soils are
prepared in this way and corn is plant
ed and does fairly well without first
breaking the land. This has been so,
however, in seasons following deep
winter freezing. and little spring rain
to run the soil together. Only the
light blank soils mixed with some
sand have been successfully grown to
corn by disking. rather than breaking.
In wet spring seasons some risk is
taken even with these soils to plant
in this way. 1t is far safer to break
the ground first and pulverize 1t for
corn. And the clay loan should be al
ways be so treated, and 1t is best to
break them deeply. Disking heavy
soils and listing for planting would be
Il great mistake i'll any kind of n
season. These soils are run together
and hardened by the usual spring

correspondent would make a mistake
to undertake corn growing on his clay

and prepared to burn him at the stake.
The negroes arms were tied to his side
and his feet nailed to board, and a rag
soaked with kerosene was placed near
his nose Then IL bucket of water, which
he was Informed was coal oil, was
thrown over his head. Goodlow was told
his end had come. The old mans groans
ceased just at this time and his torment

The body was quietly deposited in an old

Fouud Guilty of Murder.

Charles w. Graves. a Dcs Moines fur
niture dealer, who was charged with
numbering his wife and burning the
body, was found guilty in the District
Court, the jury recommending life I'M
prisonment. His stepdanghter. an .ac-
tress, secured his conviction. Graves is
said to have choked his wife to death in
fit of rage and then to have saturated
the body with kerosene and set it on fire.
His stories relative to finding the body
and his visits to the home the morning
Of the crime were conflicting. This,
coupled with previous threats to kill her,
led to his arrest and prosecution. Mrs.
Graves daughter, Winnie Reader, n
member Of the Grau opera company, then
playing in Chicago, arrived home to
spend the holidays three days after the
crime was committed. She buried her
mother, accused her stepfather Of the
crime and secured his conviction.

UNDER THE SUN.

The men who have gone before us
Have sung the songs we sing;
The words of our clamorous chorus,
They were heard of the ancient King.
The chords of the Tyre that thrill us,
They were struck in the years gone by,
And the arrows of death that kill us
Arc found where our fathers lie.
The vanity sung of the Preacher
Is vanity still to-day;
The moan of the stricken creature
Has rnng in the woods Away.
But the songs are worth resinging
With the change of no single note,
And the spoken words are ringing
As they rang in the years remote.
There is no new rond to follow, Love!
Nor need there ever be,
For the old. with its hill and hollow,
Love!
Is enough for you and me.
