Horse and Harness.

The Breeders Gazette gives some
directions which it would be we'll for
all who use horses or mules to commit
to memory and put in practice as far
as pOssible:
Ill-fitting or defective harness is a
curse to the horse and a sure source of
money loss to the farmer. In the short
working season which this climate al
lows lin the spring the horses must be
in shape to render maximum of
service and this they cannot do if
they are continually CALLED by the col
lar or annoyed by some one or more
of the straps composing the harness.
Therefore before there is need for the
use of the harness in the plOw or the
harrow the farmer should pay the
most particular attention to have it
put into perfect repair and to have it
fit each horse properly.
The writer has used a horse for the
last four springs on general farm and
garden work which included pulling
alone nine-inch plow and hauling

very heavy loads of manure up hills
measuring together around a mile i'm
distance and never yet has there been
even a suspicion of soreness about his
shoulders and this too despite the fact
that before he came into the writer's
work without having his shoulders
very badly CALLED high up as we'll as
low down toward the point. A perfect
ly fitting collar and washing the
with strong brine and then with tepid
clear water have kept them in perfect
condition. The collar itself is spOnged
clean daily.
The ideal fit of harness is best des-
cribed in the old expression, neither
too free nor to bind" which, being in
terpreted means that the harness
should be buckled just tight enough to
give a sense of support but not so
tight as to exert undue pressure.
Straps that are too short here md
others too long there, mean misery to
the horse. The bride should claim
attention according to the shape of the
head and the disposition of the horse.
The cheek pieces should be so adjusted
in length that the bit does not lie too
far down on the tongue, necessita ting

said of an individual that he has good
"horse sense We find an interesting
account of a trained horse, in the T1t-
State Farmer. 1t is not especially
adapted to any part of farm work,
that is, it is not practical, but its value
consists in its power to show how in
telligent a horse really is. OF course,
it is probable that the trainer has a
system of signs by which he helps the
animal. Yet he must possess more
than ordinary intelligence to be able
to act so quickly on the very slight
signs which were possible under such
close watching.
Columbia, s. c.. is to contribute to
the very short list of educated horses
of the world, and, in the opinion of
his owner and trainer. DIR. ID. B. Boyd,
horse medicine man. king Phara
OH is in several particulars the most
wonderful of them all. And this Opin-
ion is shared by large number Of in
telligent people who have recently seen
the horse perform. ~
He does not write, but otherwise
King Pharaoh seems to know about
as much about the three RS as the
average boy of the fifth grade. He
adds and SubtractS, carrying and bOr
rowing correctly, when the original
figures are limited to two sets of three
figures each, and multiplies quickly,
without rubbing his toes together or
scratching his head, where the multi
plier is one figure and the multipli-
cand does not exceed three digits.
And he has the most cOmical way of
looking charmed at the result each
time he finishes. King, that's his
name for short, also spells correctly
when the word given by the visitor
is limited to the four letters he carries
in his little rack Here the figures 0
to 9 inclusive are also carried in the
form of a white tin tackled against a
background of leather of convenient
size to be handled in his mouth.
III. bOtu thdI
between King and all other educated
horses is that King does not work by
sign Or cue, but really reads, works in
arithmetic and spells and understands
language when he is talked to. And
the doctor has convinced many that
this is fact
King Pharaoh will first appear i'm
public at the twentieth of May cele-

recently, and wanted him for exhibi-

this and number of other offers, be-
cause he thinks he may do better ex-

added, and King walked up to his mas
ter, and, placing his jowl over his
shoulder, drew the doctor to him.
King was then thoroughly tested by
the visitors in addition, subtraction,
multiplication, in reading. in spelling
and in distinguishing not only colOrs,
but different articles set out on the
sawdust floor for him to go after and
fetch.
Two sets of figures were written on
the board, and King was then shown
them and told to add, then told to sub
tract. He brought the figures one at a
time from the rack for the answer, in
dicating that was to be carried or bOr-
rOwed, if told to do so. He then null
tiplied in the same way.
-Four different colors i'm clothes were
then laid on the floor at the direction
of the visitors, who took turns at
writing the name of the color they
wanted King every time. If the train
er gave any cue the visitors could not
detect it. They tried tieing his arms
and legs, and still the horse worked
without hesitancy. On one occasion
'black' waS written on the board
after that color had already been
brought in, King turned about and,
failing to find it, wandered over to
where lady with a black skirt was
sitting and bit at the garment in a
sort of apOlOgetic way.
The figures and the letters were mix
ed in all sorts of ways by the visitors,
and still King picked them out.
Take your nose out of my pocket.
I'm not going to give you any more
sugar until you tell the folks how old
you are,' said the trainer.
King paved a hole in the sawdust,
striking five times in rapid succession,
without apparent signal. He gave him
two Jumps, and the horse indicated the
number of days in the week in the
same manner
''The gentleman here says he is nine
years old. That's ridiculous, but don't
contradict him. Show him your man

King tapped it off like he was pump
ing for water that wouldn't come.
A calendar with the dates printed
one TO a page in large black type was
then introduced and King tapped off
the dates as they were turned to his
view.

forth, laying down at the number of

Want Grain Inspector.

SUPERIOR, Wis, Aug. 2O.-The
Wisconsin grain and warehouse COM
mission, the Superior board of trade
and the attorneys for the commission
and the board have decided to fight for
Wisconsin inspection to the last ditch.
There is little money at their disposal,
but someone has come to the rescue
and arrangements are being made to
continue the fight until it is decided
one way or the other on all the issues
involved. Judge Luse, recent candi-
date for justice of the Wisconsin SUI
preme court. and Senator George B..
Hudnall, father of the Wisconsin grain
inspection law, will fight the affair for
the commission and the local grain in
terests.
The important case for the commits
sion to win is that brought by the cleo
vator companies to have the Wisconsin
inspection law declared void. Judge
Sanborn. in the United States court,
held that the law is void, and enjoined
the inspection bureau. This practically
ties I'D the commission and the next
move will be to fight the case to the
supreme court if possible. The APP
peal has already been made to the
United States court of appeals, and
the conference just held was largely
TO determine whether to go on with
the fight there The necessary expense
money being forthcoming, it was de-
cided to push the case.

BAD MAN WITH GUN.
While Making Crowd Dance Puts BuI

Last Sunday, Harry Holmes, so we
are informed, having imbibed too freely
of firewater. considered himself a bad
man and proceeded to shoot up the
house in regular Wild West style, per-
forating the windows and ventilating
the roof, says the Hood River News
Letter. This becoming too tame he
resorted to the sport of making his
audience dance by shooting about their
feet. One of the boys did not step
lively enough to get out Of the way
and a ball from Holmes gun went into
his ankle coming out at his heel. If no
complications set in, Thomas Olson,
the wounded man, may recover, but
will undoubtedly be a cripple all his
life

diligence in a woman's propensity to
take advantage of a muddy crossing to
exhibit to an admiring masculine pub
lie a pair of daintily shod feet led to
the arrest of Josephine Zazona, a Po-
lish girl. wanted on charge of theft
and shoplifting.
Mrs. Annie Knuppegan reported yes
terday that the girl had taken from her
house a valuable red silk underskirt
valued at $50. Complaints afterward
poured in from several stores that
skirts and waists had been missed di-
rectly after the visit of woman
answering to Miss ZaObnas descrip-
ton.
A detective was standing in front of
the city hall when he saw a pretty
girl come out of the building and make
for a muddy crossing. She paused
gathered up her skirts and gracefully
tripped across the street, displaying a
generous expanse of yellow openwork
stockings and a glimpse of a Scotch
plaid underskirt. The detective re-
cognized the skirt as the one stolen
and arrested her.

WAR DEPARTMENT TAKES MAT.
TER UP AN0.aRDERs AN IN
VESTlGATION.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Aug. "a
The war department is going after a
young woman who acts as notary pub
lie in Cohoes, N. Y. Recently the army
officer who is on duty at Albany as
recruiting officer, was ordered to the
former town to take a deposition Of
a witness in the case of an alleged de-
serter on trial at Fort Jay. Under
the regulations the officer could have
administered the oath himself and
saved the government all expenses. He
any rate he fell into the error of most
officers on similar duty and believed
notary public. The incident would
have been of little Importance, be-
cause the legal rate of payment for a
notary in New York is only II cents.
In the case of the young woman at
Cohoes, however, the charge was $3.50
and it is to this excessive rate that
the war department is disposed to take
formal exception. Correspondence will
be entered into with the Cohoes no
tary, with view of adjusting the
charge to something nearer what is
understood to be the legal rate in the
state In the mean time another eff
fort will be made by the military au-
thorities to get army officers to re-
alize that they have the right, under
certain conditions, to administer oaths
They represent the court martial on
certain occasions, such as that when
the recruiting officer went to Cohoes
to see the witness, and at such times
they may take dispositions without en-
ploying a regular notary.
