A New Theory Of Sleep.

An interesting and novel theory of
sleep has recently been put forward by
pr. Clararede, a French scientist, who
holds that sleep is a positive function
or an instinct designed to arrest func-
tioning. DR.. Clararede makes the as
sertion that we sleep not because we
are intoxicated or exhausted, but in
order to avoid such conditions. Not
only are there various kinds and de-
grees of sleep, but it does not always
follow exhaustion. Furthermore, it is
well known that sleep is not proper
tional to the degree of exhaustion
and it may be either total or partial.
In measuring the profoundness of
sleep various conditions are encoun-
tered which are not susceptible of eX-
PLANTATION on the toxic theory, but
which agree perfectly with the n.y.
pothesis that it is a positive nervous
function. The definition of sleep, &C.
cording to this new theory, is a reac-
ton produced by various excitants,
and is an inhibition which manifests
itself subjectively by a lack of interest
in exterior things.-Harper's Weekly.

Foundation Of the Export steeI

Foundation Of the Export Steer.
In the first place, it must be re-
membered that to produce a carcass Of
beef of the best quality, a steer must
possess a large proportion of the blood
of some recognized beef breed. Steers
possessing considerable dairy blood
may give rapid and economical gains,
but the carcass of beef from such a
steer does not carry SO large a pro-
portion Of valuable meat as that of the
strictly beef animal. This point has
been demonstrated in many expert
ments. The ~dairy-bred steer has a
tendency to form a large amount of
lat that is not edible, whereas those
portions of the body which carry the
most valuable meat are poorly devel-
oped and lacking in covering of flesh.
While it is impossible to say exact.
ly how the animal will feed simply
from inspecting it, at the same time,
there are certain features which are
peculiar to the animal which will
make rapid and economical gain in
weight, and which possesses the con
stitution to stand heavy feeding. A
good type of steer should possess a
deep body, broad back, short neck,
moderately fine bone, thick, fine coat
OF hair, and a somewhat thick but mel.
low skin, which moves freely under
the hand over the underlying tissues.
When the hand is laid fiat upon the
ribs of the animal and pressed against
them, a mellowness and elasticity
should be noticeable, which indicate a
ready fattener and a good quality OF
flesh. The animal which has a thin,
wiry coat of hair, and which feels hard
and unyielding when the hand is laid
on the rib, is seldom a quick feeder,
and does not possess the thickness OF
flesh which is desirable in a beef ami.
ma. OF course, we do not expect that
a thin steer will handle like a fat
steer, but, in handling a thick-feshed
animal, that mellowness of handling,
previously mentioned, is noticeable,
though the animal may be compara,
lively thin.
1t is desirable to have good depth
and thickness at the heart in order tc
indicate constitution; but there should
be proportionate development towards
the rear of the animal where the meat
is more valuable. Viewed from the
side, the steer should present a we'll
balanced appearance, hat is to say
he should not show an undue develop

looking" head and horns. A full

Supply Of Army Horses.

An English army officer, Major
.Moo.a. in the course of a lecture on
the supply of horses for military pur-
poses, at the Royal United Service In
stitution. estimated the equine popu-
lation Of the world at about $4,000, 900,
half Of which belong to Europe, and
the major portion of the remainder to
America. Russia, he said, was the
greatest horse country, possessing
23, 900. 900 animals. which made her
independent or outside sources. In
no country was greater attention CIV
en- to breeding, and exporting was
closely guarded. 1t was curious, he
said, how little was heard of the work
of horses in the Far Eastern war, con
sidering Russia's enormous supplies.
1t was net stated where Japan, who
is short of remounts, got her horses,
but she had made great efforts to re
pair her deficiencies with stud farms
and prizes to breeders. The best field
of supply in the world was America,
and in most countries government aid
was given or breeding farms were
maintained. The British Empire was
lacking in numbers, although the
United Kingdom possessed the best
types in the world. The Colonies
we're deficient in numbers and quality,
and close attention was needed for
the subject, in order to have adequate
supplies in time of war from our pos
sessions as a first line: The plan of
Continental studs was supported by
many, but the British farmer could
give points to the Continent in the
matter Of breeding.

and Western Range Cattle.

Texas and Western Range Cattle.
A few years ago Texas cattle were a
class as distinct as. any reaching the
Chicago market. They were distin-
guished by their long horns and legs,
their thin flesh, narrow bodies, and
large deep brands. To-day the notice
able long-horned Texan is rarely seen
in the Chicago market. At the present
many Texas cattle have such a
high percentage Of the blood of the
improved beef breeds that such of
them as are not of a polled breed, or
dehorned. possess horns of short or of
medium length; thus they attract but
little attention and receive much less
adverse criticism than formerly when
they were the butt of ridicule. They
now frequently have the low-down,
blocky form. too, which indicates that
they have descended from the best
strains of beef-produciEg ancestry.
They are often as we'll bred and of as
heavy weights as native steers. The
proportion of well-bred stock cattle in
Texas is rapidly increasing.

fore. no longer necessarily indicative
OF an inferior grade of fat cattle, while
it is still true that there is an exceed
ingly wide range between the best and
poorest. The range in quality, condi-
ton and price is greater, perhaps,
than in any other class of cattle reach
ing he market, the best occasionally
showing the quality and finish of our
native steers and selling for prices
but little, if any, below the prices
quoted for prime native steers. In
such instances they are, of course,
used for the same purposes, except
that they are seldom exported. Some
Texas cattle have been exported from
Galveston. largely, however, to Cuba.

canners.-Herbert w. Mumford.

whitewash in the Hog House.

Whitewash is cheap, and there is no
reason why it should not. be used more
than it is in the hog house. Whether
tho boards that compose the hog
house are smooth or rough, the white
wash will be found to be a help. It
will stop up the hiding places of YER
min and will tend to give a sweater
smell to the places where the hogs
stay. In addition it adds light as does
any light color placed on the walls.
1t shows the dirt more plainly than the
implanted boards and acts as a re-
hinder to the owner to clean out the.

The Teeth of Sheep.

Under ordinary conditions it is safe
to take the teeth as a sure indication
OF a sleeps age, says Edward Van
Alstyne in Rural New Yorker. OF
course with some breeds or individu.
ais that mature early there might be a
little variation. The following are the
accepted, rules and may be found
useful in determining the age of a
sheep:
At n month there are eight tenn.
porary front teeth or incisors always
in the lower jaw and three temporary
molars on each side of each jaw. At
three months there will be added a
permanent molar to the three tenn
porary ones. At nine months there
will appear the second permanent mo.
lar. At from twelve to fourteen months
the first pair of permanent %incisors or
front teeth appear.
At eighteen months there will be the
third permanent molar. At from TWEEN
ty-one to twenty-five months there will
be four permanent incisors. At TWEEN
ty-seven months the temporary lnolars
drop out, and permanent ones take
their place. At thirty months there
will be the six permanent incisors.
At from three years and four to six
months all the eight permanent Incl
sors have appeared and the sheep may
be said to have a full mouth. After
this it is not SO easy to tell, but If the
teeth are even and the mouth full one
may take it to be between four and
five years. From this time on the gen.
eral condition of the sheep and the
good or bad state of the teeth will in.
dictate whether the sheep can be prof.
itably kept or not.

ment-How She Was Cured.
Every sufferer from nervous headache
knows how completely it units one for
the duties and pleasures Of life. Any
little excitement, or over-exertion, or ir-
regularity brings it on. Sometimes the
pain is over the whole head. Again it
is like a nail driven into the brain, or a
wedge splitting it open, or a band tight
ening about it,. At one time it is all i'll
the top of the head, at another it is all
at the base of the skull.
Most headaches can be traced to some
faulty state of the blood. When the
blood is scanty or charged with poison,
and the nerves are inperfectly nourished
and the digestion weak, one Of the COM
mOnest results is frequent and severe
headaches.
The important thing is to get rid of the
diseased condition of the blood that
causes the attack by the use of a remedy
that will do the work quickly and
thoroughly. What is that remedy? The
experience of Miss Ellen McKenna fur
nishes the answer. She says:
"For more than seven years I was a
great sufferer from nervous headache and
dizziness. My stomach was disordered,
and I became so restless that I could not
sit still any length Of time. Dizziness
interrupted my work greatly. At first
the attacks were not SO severe, but they
gradually grew more violent, and finally
became so acute that I was OH the point
of relinquishing my membership in the
