Nail Wounds in HoOfs.

1t has long been known that nail
pricks and other similar injuries in
the horses hoof may lead to an infec-
ton followed by formation of pus under
the horn of the hoof and a serious gen
eral disease of the horse or at least
the loss Of the hoof. In a bulletin Of
the South Dakota Station, Moore has
recently reported results obtained in a
humber Of cases from applying a strict
antiseptic treatment to injuries of this
sort. The method consists in pairing
away the horn of the hoof from the
affected part unit! the blood oozes out.
The hoof is then thoroughly washed
in a solution Of bichlorid of mercury at
the rate of one part to 800 Of water,
after which absorbent cotton saturated
in q solution Of the same strength is
applied to the wound and the whole
hoof is packed in cotton surrounded by
a bandage and well coated with tar.
This prevents my further filth from
coming in contact with the wound. The
operation must usually be done by a
qualified veterinarian. Subsequent
treatment, however, can be applied by
the average farmer, since all that is
necessary is to pour a little Of this solu-
ton of bichlorid Of mercury upon the
cotton which projects from the upper
part Of the bandage. The cotton will
absorb enough of the solution to keep
the wound moistened and hasten the
healing process.

to corn or potatoes, and the frequent

A Pointed Question.

Two COWS cost $40 each per year for
keep. One of them yields you 1000
quarts Of milk a year, that bring you
$50. The other yields 100 quarts, hat
bring you $26. The latter loses for you
about $14 and reduces the gain on the
former from SAC to $50. Why do you
keep the 1%,2O0-quart COW? You would
be better off with the one that clears
SIG. for you would have only half the
investment, half the work, and half
the feeding, and you would gain $14
each year. There would be no surplus
butter on the market for years to come
and prices would rule strong If the
ows were eliminated which are kept
at a loss. Dairy farmers nav not yet
half walked up to an understanding OF
the great practical Importance of weed
ing out the Improbable COWS from
their herds. Many 4 man would make
a fair profit, that now faces a constant
loss, If he would keep only such cows
as pay a profit on their keep.-Farm

A Freak Statue.

One of the most interesting freak
statues in England is to the memory
of Sir II. Holmes. 1t is to be seen in
the church at Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.
The funny thing about it is that it was
not originally intended to represent
that naval celebrity. 1t vas sculp-
tured for and represented Louis XIV.
of France and was being conveyed to
that country when the vessel contain.
ing it (and also the sculptor) was cap
tured by an English ship commanded
by Sir r.. Holmes.
The body was finished, the head be.
ing left for completion OF its arrival in
France. On learning who it was for
the English commander compelled the
sculptor to finish it by chiseling his
(Holmes') head on the Kings body.

Capt. John Kicker was one of those
daredevil fellows in the war, and he
cared for nothing. One night after
there had been a fierce fight we found
him stretched on the ground i N an I'M
conscious condition, and the doctor said
there was no nance to save him. SO
we covered his body over, and went on
to look after the others.
"After a while we got back to the
captain again, and the doctor found
that he was still living, but unconscious.
The doctor assured us that there was
no chance for his life, but, after a con-
sultation, we decided that we ought to
arouse him and let him know that he
was about to die and ask him If he
wished any message sent to his fam
lily. He was accordingly rolled about
OIL the ground and punched to a mild
extent to bring him to his senses.
pretty soon Kicker opened his eyes,
and the doctor told him that there was
nc chance Of his living until morning.
and asked if there was anything he
wished done. Kicker motioned to a wal
let that was fastened in his clothing,
and the doctor opened it. First, a small
photograph was held up, to see If it was
that which vas wanted, but Kicker
shook his head and signaled to he doc
tor to keep on. Then three or four
letters were pulled out, M by one, and
then another photograph, all of which
were received with looks Of disgust
from Kicker.
cat last the doctor pulled out g dirty
$40 bill, rolled up into a small ball,
and this was held up to Kicker. A
glance Of approval shot across the face
of Kicker, and he raised himself slight
ly on his elbow and beckoned to the
doctor to get nearer, and then he whis-
pered hoarsely: L will bet you that,
d+n you, that 1 live longer than you
do ~
"The truth is that Kicker got better,
was made a major, attended the funeral
OF the doctor, and did not die until o
few years ago."-Lewiston Journal.

If 1t is necessary to Contine the poul-

but far enough from it so that the
fowls cannot get at the foliage. One
of the best plants for the purpose Is
the Gamma, using the ,.nenp. tall-growing

Hauling Hwy.

1t is a very desirable thing to be able
to haul all the hay into the barn the
same day it is cut. The worriment and
anxiety consequent upon the liability Of
a storm before morning are thus avoid
ed, and experience has taught that hay
having no more than three or four
hours sun will come out in the spring
perfectly sweet and m fine condition
for the cattle. In adopting this plan it
is well to keep the hay constantly
stirred with a tedder. There has been
a fear Of putting hay into some barns
that contain a noticeable amount Of
water, but If it is properly packed by
being evenly distributed over the NOW,
each forkful trodden upon, and the
barn kept closed as much as possible,
the result will probably be gratifying.

how Grape-Nuts food brought him back

I had al attack of what seemed to be

Then on the recommendation Of

New vnrietie. Of Potatoes.

Many varieties Of potatoes come and
go, and, but for the introduction Of new
varieties, potatoes would soon be scarce.
This is due to the careless selection
OF seed. All the tubers of a crop are
scld for seed, when only the best
should be selected. If only the largest
tubers from the thriftiest and strong
est plants were retained for seed, there
would be an improvement in the old
varieties instead Of deterioration in
quality. But as long as seed potatoes
bring good prices, there will be both
GOOD and inferior seed used.

Chilling Live stock.

A great many breeders fail to
achieve the results at which they aim
simply because Of their reluctance to
discard an occasional animal which
contains a slight blemish. Wanting
the best, they use what they know Is
not perfect to produce it, hoping ma
ture will kindly gloss over and not re-
produce the defect. Such a policy is
suicidal. The breeder who would en-
Joy the highest success must not be
afraid to Gull. Let every animal which
can not be rated as first-class, and
strictly SO, be matured and sold. Breed
from only the best, and on no condition
or consideration let your flock deterio-
rate through failure to reject The i'm
perfect.-Agricultural Epitomist.

Lest We Forget.

Len
Full 40 years have come and gone since
the boys of 81
Came marching back, in their faded blue,
from the fields that they had Won
Full 40 years have passed away, their
ranks are sadly thin,
But wnitened locks nor feeble limbs can
quench the fires within.
And now they tell how once they fought
their country's battles Ger;
OF charges made and victories won on
battlefelds of yore;
OF Gettysburg and Donelson you often
hear them tell;
OF comrades dear who persisted there in
the rain of shot and shell.
At Mission Ridge, at Seven Oaks, on
~Chickamauga's plain,
Death walked abroad, with awful mien,
Grim Reaper, through the grain.
Right on the brave old heroes went, nor
flinched when facing death,
Their lines of blue closed up when thin
ned by the baleful lannon's breath.
With Farragut at New Orleans and

They worked their guns, and courted

Past forts manned with the very best OF

INC broke the yoke the slaves had worn
for many weary years.
Shall we, their sons, forget the deeds of
warriors gone before,
When the same old Flag they fought to
save is colored with their gore?
Shall we forget, and calmly sit, while the
griZzlcd veterans march
Beneath the trees of this broad land,
their own triumphal arch?
Shall we forget the sainted dead who at
their country's call
Gav up their lives in prison pens, and
sleep beneath the pail
OF Southern cypress. or beneath the
snowy cotton fields,
In graves unmarked, still slumber on, at
rest upon their shields?

vine, in the BARNARD.

The barr should never be built near
the house, md wherever it Is, it should
be kept as sanitary as the house itself.
A country barnyard should be as neat
and tidy as the dooryard. There is no
reason why vines should not grow over
the walls and fences, and trees shade
the inclosed animals. 1t is possible to
have lilacs and mock oranges growing
around the barn, as freely as about

Two of n Mind:

In the spring or 1S65, after Fort
Fisher had beer captured, 1 was de-
tailed with foul men to do scouting
duty. We had stopped for dinner,
when I thought to ride alone to the top
of a mountain near and see If l could
learn anything while the boys made
the coffee. I was soon on the noun
tain, and before 1 knew 1t, In turning
a point, was in the Immediate neigh
borhood of twenty North Carolina cav-
airy. 1t was too late to retreat, and
so, dofing my hat, l put spurs to my
horse and rushed in among them, ex-
claiming 1.-THE Ysnks are just upon us
strong, and we must get out of this
They questioned me sharply about
how I, claiming to be one Of them, was
wearing the Yankee blue. 1 told them
that 1 was one Of the Eleventh Texas
Cavalry, and was employed as n spy,
and was then OF my way to Newbern. 1
could see hat this story was believed
by all save a tall, shrewd, silent fell
low who said nothing. I rode in the
direction Of Newbern with them that
afternoon, at night camping in a Sc
Guided spot, at no great distance from
Coxe's picket line. After supper, for
which 1 had a keen appetite, 1 lay
thinking how to escape. When they had
all got to sleep I began to crawl out Of
camp. 1 soon got upon my feet, and
was making my way the best 1 could
when l heard a musket click.
There stood the Johnny who did not
believe me. l told him I had beer out
picking up what information I could.
and wanted to get back into camp. but,
having got bewildered, had lost my
way, and wished he would show me.
"Well, you are a slick one" he re-
sponded; "come on, 1 will show you
into camp"
saw at once that he was taking
the wrong way to go to his camp. but
his outer picket, when he got down and
l did the same. As soon as we were
past the picket and out of hearing l
said to him: 81 am sure you are going
the wrong way"
He then turned to me and said:
"See here, / have helped you through
this line, now you help me through
yours. l know you are playing off
that you belong to the Union army, and
/ want to go there, too. | am sick of
serving on the wrong side"
In a little time we came to the Union
pickets, when I got them to send us
under guard to General Coke. I gave
