Dr. Schaefer, of Berlin, speaking
before the German Surgical Society on
his experience during the Russo-Japa-
nese war, said that after the battle OF
Mukden he examined more than 1000
wounded Russians. The percentage
of those dying from rife bullet
wounds was the smallest. and a sur
prisingly large portion of the wound
ed were fit in short time for active
service.
Three months after the battle of
Mukden half the wounded of the army
corps to which DR.. Schaefer was at
tached were cured. The percentage
rose in some regiments to 20 per cent.
The results were so surprising that
a Russian general of division tried to
forbid further Investigations, saying
that the world would laugh at the
fact that the japanese had beaten the
Russians while the former were using
such a miserable rife.

BaIky Horses

We have never had great deal to
do with balky horses. There are a
great many ways that a ballly horse
may be started. and some of them seem
very impractical, but are successful.
For instance. we have known people
who have started balky horse by put
ting gravel in the ear, but we think
that little too cruel, writes j. Crouch
of Lafayette in the Rural New Yorker.
One of the best remedies that the writ
er has ever seen used, which was sue
ceSsful was to take a strong piece OF
lath or piece of board and get slightly
to the front and still close enough to
the horse that he could hit the horse
smartly but not too hard on the knee
cap. This would cause the horse to
commence to rear slightly, and at the
same time to go forward, and if kept
up for short time usually breaks a
horse of the habit. In Il young horse,
it may be whipped out of him, but il
the horse is seven or eight years old
or over, it is a hard matter to break 1t,
and sometimes impossible.

hide our feelings; then, by and by,
real sorrows and experiences come to
us and teach us love and frankness.
And what blessing it is, too, TO touch
the real things -sto meet the real
friend in your friends eye; to share
lfes big experiences frankly: to fol
low our quick, honest sympathies with
out fear; to put away our assumed
pride; to own that we are just like
other peOple-that we love and suffer,
and grieve and rejoice, just as others
do; and so feel our lives in close touch
with other lives.
Those of us who have not tried ii
do not guess the sweetness and com
fort of it. 1t is they to whom the sim
pie experiences are dearest, the friend
ships which need neither effort nor
explanation are closest, the honest
laughter, sincere sorrow and direct
sympathy mean most.
The friend from whom we need hide
no weakness, and with whom we need
falsely assume no strength, then be-
comes indeed a companion of the way.
Wives Social Aids.
1t is not always the wife who stands
behind her husbands counter or shares
his office or labors with him, shoulder
to shoulder, who is the greatest help
to a man. Many women, distinctly
feminine and to all appearances hope
lessly unbusinesslike, are first aids to
their busy husbands. and they seldom
or never enter the shops, office or fac
tories over which their husbands rule.
These are the women who play the
social game entirely in the interest of
their husbands. They are business,
rather than social climbers, who win
by tact and diplomacy where the sim
pie worth or even scientific skill Of the
husband would fail to bring quick re-
turns.
This is particularly true in small
cities where acquaintance, influence
and social or family standing count for
more than in the larger business cen
tiers. A clever woman, blessed with
the faculty of saying or doing the right
thing at the right minute, is like we'll
worded advertiSements-bO to win.

A bright but inexperienced young
woman once consented to take charge
of the boy half of a deserted infant
class. On entering the room devoted
to the infants" she found this always
irrepressible class amusing itself by
jumping from the tops of the steam
radiators.
Fifteen minutes later, when the su-
perintendent made his rounds, he found
fourteen meek masculine infants"
seated sedately in a tightly squeezed
row before the teacher, every eye fixed
inquiringly on the lady's bright coun.
tenance.
How in the world did you accom-
plish this?' demanded the astonished
superintendent.
"Oh," she replied, Il just piled all
couldn't get my arms round in a heap
on the bench, and sat on them until l
got them interested in a bear story

Feeding Horses Not at work.

Horses at hard work, for instance,
require a very different ration from
horses which are not working at all or
young and growing colts. The same is
true of ali other classes Of stock The
nutritive ratios would be worked out
averaged up and the average amount
of protein fed would be considered the
amount of protein necessary for a
maintenance ration for a horse at rest;
the same of the carbohydrates and the
fat The nutritiye ratios would be
worked out, averaged up and ascer-
tanned in the same manner. Thus the
amount of dry matter, protein, carbo-
hydrates, fat and nutrftive ratio are
obtained The same method has been
used in determining the rations best
suited to the needs of all animals for
each specific purpose.

Another Mile of Boiling

During a recent journey to Wash
ington Representative Tim Sullivan
of New York desired the dusky attend
ant in the buffet car to fetch him some
soft-boiled eggs. When they were
brought the New York man at once
perceived that the eggs were very much
UNDERGONE. What time are we max
ing on this train?" asked he of the at
tendant. about fifty miles an hour,
sir" was the reply. ''Then," quietly
observed Sullivan, ''if you will boil
these eggs another mile they'll be all
right"

Placing the Bee Hive.

The location of bee hives during sum
mer is important. Bees do not work
contentedly in hive that is exposed
to the sun. During midday, when the
temperature of the atmosphere is high,
work within the hive, such as comb
building, must be suspended, as the
heat is then too great for comfort, espe-
cially as the bodies of the little work
ers also give off considerable warmth.

To Walk Well.

Walk slowly.
Don't comfort.
Hold your chin up.
Wear thin stockings.
Don't swing your arms.
Hold your shoulders back.
Then study your figure
Don't swing your shoulders.
Don't wear tight, short shoes.
Let your feet down at right angles
Don't try to wiggle when you walk
Don't twist yourself in sinuous mo-
tons.
Have your shoes a little too narrow
and a little too long.
Once in a while have a fresh kid
lining pasted in your shoes.

SHuaSh RnES.

Regarding the squash bug. it never
lays its eggs on the stem. unless by ac-
cident, but on the under side of the
leaves. The eggs are of dark chest
nut color, globular i'll shape, and exist
in clusters. They may be found by
turning up the leaves, when the eggs
may then be crushed. Another insect
deposits its eggs ON the stem; this is
the borer The larvae, as soon as
Matched, eat into the stem, and are
then difficult TO dislOdge In connec-
ton with the above it is not out Of
place to state that one of the most
effectual remedies against enemies of
the squash vines is a solution of salt
peter. which is prepared by dissolving
a teaspoonful of saltpeter in a quart Of
water and then sprinkling over plant,
though sawdust, saturated with tur-
pentine. Is also used on the ground
around each plant with success.

A Frightened Cow.

No man who owns a COW can afford
to have her afraid of him. 1t is loss
to the owner every time she is fright
ened. To run a COW to pasture is
throwing money away. Make pets of

the owner. The milk of a frightened
or abused COW is poisonous.

4 series of very interesting expert
ments in pasture renovation have been
carried on in England for the past
eight years, and the general results are
worth repeating because they agree in
general way with experiments In
this country. The experiments were
in the line of bringing up the quantity
and quality of pasture by topdressing
with chemicals. On light soil potash
produced but little effect. On heavy
soils phosphate fertilizers were most
profitable. The topdresslng was not
profitable for the first three years. but
after that period lime proved profit
able. and potash was also profitable the
last two years. Nitrogen fertilizers
proved OF little use. The great advan-
tage of the phosphate fertilizers and
lime was to promote the growth of
various kinds of clover. which resulted
In Improvement Of the soil and the
stand of various grasses. Fertilizers
containing both phosphates and lime
proved very effective, especially on
heavy soils, which generally contain
enough potash to last a number OF
years. but were deficient in lime and
phosphoric acid.-American Cultivator

Cement Floors for Poultry Houses.
In the building of new poultry
houses the question of suitable floors is
always an interesting one, and it must
be admitted that the floor depends
much on the nature of the soil and the
climate That is, in a moderate eli
mate with the natural soil Of a decid-
edly sandy nature, we would not hest
tate to depend upon the earthen floor
covered with more or less gravel pro-
vided it was enough higher than the
surface of the surrounding soil to pre-
vent any surface water running in the
house, and also that 1t be kept well COW
cred with straw or chaff, particularly
in cold weather. The floor of boards
is not Objectionable provided this, too,
is arranged so that it will not get damp
and so that it is covered with straw.
The cement floor has many things in
its favor, provided it is properly laid,
but here is just where the trouble is.
A cement floor laid so that it is damp
most of the time is worse than a damp
board or earthen floor simply because
it will not dry out as quickly If prop
erly laid it will probably be satisfac-
tory, but under ordinary conditions we
would prefer either the board floor or
earthen door with the average poultry
keeper.-Indianapol News.
