Essay on the Horse.

Here is Bombay students essay
upon the horse:
THE horse is very noble quadruped,
but when he is angry he will not do so.
lie is ridden on the spinal cord by the
bride, and sadly the driver places his
foots on the stirrup, and divides his
lower limbs across the saddle, and drives
his animal to the meadow. He has Il
long mouth, and his head is attached
to the trunk by long protuberancc
called the neck. He has four legs; two
are in the front side and two are after
wards. These are the weapon on which
he runs, and also defends himself by
extending those in the rear in n parallel
direction toward his foe but this he does
only when in a veXatious mood His
flooding is generally grasses and grains
He is also useful to take on his back
man or woman as well as some cargo.
He has power TO run as fast as he could.
He has got no sleep at night time, and
always standing awaken. Also there
are horses Of short sizes. They do the
same as the others are generally DOING
There Is no animal like the horse, no
sooner they see their guardian or master
they always crying for flooding, but it
is always at the morning time. They
have got tail, but not so long as the COW
and other such like similar animals. -

Ringing tnruiS Hogs.

When the sows get unruly and tn
clined to make trouble of various kinds
they can be readily controlled by an
arrangement made of ropes and placed
around the jaws Of the animal. Such
rope is not easy to put in position
with an angry hog, so a little device
made of an old broom handle Is used.
Insert a small hook in one end of the
handle and near the other end nail a
strap, which fastened so as TO form a
loop, will enable one to get a firmer
grip on the handle. Then take the
rope and make a slip moose in one end,
hang It from the hook on the end of
the small pole and, with quick move
ment. place the loon over and around
the upper jaw, when the mouth is
forced open. Take hold Of the rope
with one hand just above the moose
and with the help of the ringer insert
the ring or rings on the snout. The
animal will be unable to fight much
with this appliance around its jaw. The

Milk Pays More than Butter,

The following, with reference TO the
decline of butter manufacture in En-
gland, is from Hon. Frank W. Manln
United States consul at Nottingham,
England; zone plausible explanation
of the manifest decline In darying IN
England is that It is more profitable
to sell the milk, the drinking of which
is increasing, than to convert it into
butter. Consequently the average
British farmer Is making no butter tc
sell, but is even buying what he needs
for his own use. Furthermore, 1t is
asserted that some English diaries buy
foreign butter and sell it as their own
productive domestic article, though
inferior, in the judgment OF many con
sumers, commanding higher price
than the foreign
