Renovating a Horse.

Farm horses generally have a hard
spring, as arrears of work have to be
caught up hurriedly, and the soil is excep-
tionally heavy to work The horses will,
undoubtedly, enjoyed and benefit by a rest
or less work, and being out at the grass
is great easement in many ways. The
buggy or riding horse on the farm is not
usually overworked, and unless on extra
duty the grass alone should keep it in con
dition. Any partial cripples that have
been made as much use of as possible
and an old horse or two are often very use
full ON the farm--should be given a COM
plete rest on the grass to recoup against
haying time When there is milk run,
the milk cart horse is the one which has
as much hard work to do as any ON the
farm. He Is at it daily, Sunday included,
which sooner or later generates weakness,
mostly in the legs, and a rest on the grass
in not only well merited, but highly advan-
tageous, especially if given in time, and
before the horse has become chronic
cripple.
When these horses are put out and
rested month or so-and this is none too
long-they should have their shoes taken
off and run barefooted Hacks which
have been much employed during the win
ter, but are now not so much used, should
never be kept in the stable, as a run at
grass is much the better way of either rest
ing or improving them. If the winter
work has been hard and the horses are run
down, the sooner the rest and grass cure is
begun the better To run them on till
the fall will only increase their ailments,
while a rest in time will often quite cure
deficiencies, which, if let 20 or aggravated
BY further cause, may end in serious loss
or permanent flaws. 4 horse that really
needs rest should have nothing short of
one month Two would be better in many
cases, while three months will rejuvena;e
most animals in satisfactory manner.
II possessed Of any ailments which no
veterinarian can relieve or remove, this
attention should be given when grazing
begins, or grazing should follow the treat
ment closely, if it cannot be accomplished
when on grass and out. The most favora
bic land for recruiting horses is that of
marshy character.
Leg aud foot ailments are the most com
mon, aud soft ground is desirable as a rem
edy, but it should always be associated
with good grass. 4 good water supply
should invariably be a condition of horse
grazing fields, which should be absolutely
free Of barbed wire, broken rails, or sharp
projections, which are likely to enter either
foot or body. Shade in bot weather is also
enjoyed, and if not sufficiently supplied
by trees. an open she'd should be erected
In that case rough, strong posts and any
kind of eool roof anwer the purpose per
fectly.

Receive Good Pay.

Some OF the cattle buyers of the big
slaughter houses receive as salaries from
sl0. 600 TO 10, 600 per year, and some, it
Is said, as high rs s25, 900 per year. The
cattle buyer cannot hope to command such
a salary at one jump, remarks our spright-
" little contemporary, the Arizona Cattle
man. He must advance gradually and
demonstrate that he is earning his money
each day. A daily account and record is
kept with him He buys bunch of
steers, they are slaughtered, and he is fur
nished each day with report showing just
what they cost his company net. If he
pays too much, they are dear, and he must
explain the why's aud wherefores. Many
mistakes and bad Judgment are not neces-
sary before he Is advised that his services are
dispensed with He must be able to judge
the amount on the hoof, know what it will
kill out, and that he made the purchase at
the lowest price and with good profit to
the company He cannot equal up, his
purchases for a day make bargain on one
bunch and pay too much for the other.
The system is complete and exacting; each
purchase must speak for itself-each tub
must stand on its own bottom.

Lions Raid a Town.

A herd of hungry lions attacked the
at the end of March, and not only killed
eleven natives but put the rest of the pop
ulalion to flight and demolished many of
| their huts.
Between fifteen and twenty lions made
the raid at dusk. They first attacked two
natives on the outskirts Of the town. One
of the natives escaped, and while the body
of his companion was being torn to pieces
he ran to the government building. The
watchman on duty refused TO believe his
story, and while the frightened native was
protesting, the lions suddenly dashed into
the main street
Three watchman were struck down be-
fore they could reach their rifles, and the
native who had previously escaped was
likewise killed. A fourth watchman, who
had fed to an outer room, was pursued by
two of the brutes and torn to pieces.
A child was seized in front of huts, and
when the frantic mother attempted to res
cue it she was likewise attacked and de-
voured.
Three other natives were killed and
eaten. The lions killed Il number of goats
and other live stock and afterwards roamed
through the towu, prowling around some
of the huts in which the inmates had bar
ricaded themselves.
A large number of natives who had
managed to escape from the town got into
their canoes and padded to the middle of
the River Shire, where they spent the
night, They could distinctly hear the
shouts of the besieged Chorumo is stu
ated near the Elephant Marsh reserve,
where fifty elephants lived last year

Why Flowing Kills the Bugs.

On most soils fall plowing lays the
ground open to the action of the elements,
rendering fertility available, loosening and
fining the soil and destroying insects and
vermin. Another advantage is that it en-
ables the farmer to sow his grain earlier
than he otherwise could, for at the first
thawing, before plowing is possible, he
could sow his wheat Besides, if it should
be a bug year he gains on them by early
planting, and the grain is out of the way
before the chinch bug becomes numerous.
The harrow cannot be used too much
for surface fitting. The roller is dan
gerous implement except on light sandy
soils If used on heavy lands it should
generally precede sowing and at least one
narrowing follow it. On fall plOwed lands
dskng and narrowing in the spring is suf-
fcient Flowing may safely be omitted
when the wheat follows corn or some cul-
tivated crop but on grass lands or where
weeds or other growths are prevalent it is
best to plow depth of five inches, turn
ing under all green growth, then preparing
with disk and steel-tooth harrows Don t
skimp the narrowing, it is the important
part

From san Francisco chrouiclt

at pays sometimes to have the right

dy, a well known mining man of the
Northwest, at the Palace Hotel II was
witness in case few weeks ago in
Seattle in which colored man was seek
ing damages for permanent injuries sus-
tanned 10 an accident in an elevator which
he was running. The plaintiff claimed that
he had been MANNED for life, by being per
manently deprived OF the free use of his
right arm. Although the accident had
happened months before, his arm was still
crippled, aud he was unable to raise it
above his waist He explained all this
with much feeling aud earnestness dur
ing his direct examination Then the
attorney for the owner Of the building took
him in hand
Show US how high you can raise your
arm, said the attorney.
"And the defendant feebly raised his
arm few inches.
Nov show us how high you could raise
your arm before you were injured, pur-
sued the attorney.
And the defendant unhesitatingly and
unthinkly raised the crippled arm high
above his head, thus knocking his damage
claim skyward with one eloquent gesture. "

A Smart Ruse.

As train was approaching Sheffield,
Pa, man seated in one of the ceslpart-
ments noticed lady looking troubled, and
asked her what was the matter.
I've lost my ticket, and they will
charge me with fraud, said the lady.
''Oh, never mind I'll work dodge
with the guard, and he got his own tick
ct out Of his pocket and tore the corner off
and gave the ticket to the lady.
When the train arrived at Sheffield the
guard collected all the tickets but one.
Where is your ticket, sir?' he asked
of the gentleman.
II gave it to you.
''No, you didn't replied the guard.
''I shall have to call the station master. "
When the station master arrived he
said:
Where is your ticket, young mani?
i gave it to the guard. See if he has
ticket with the corner torn off, replied
the sharp man.
On searching, of course the guard
found it.
Nov, said the young man, "see if
this fits it, - as he gave him the corner of
the ticket

Money in Horse Breeding,

Horse breeding, when judicously carried
on, has always been and is likely to be a
reasonably profitable business for the Amer
lean farmer The great danger in the
business is that at the present time, owing
to the fact that horses are scarce, the horse
of no particular breed or class is command
ing fair price, and many farmers are led
to regard horse of this kind rs profit
able animal to produce. Such horses
should not be bred, because, even when
the greatest care and precautiOn are
taken in breeding for definite types, there
viii always be a large number of the so
called misfts, which are the first class of
horses to be affected by overproduction or
any other thing that is likely to cause a
depression in the market.

Heart Turned to Stone.

An extraordinary freak of disease has
been revealed in Berlin hospital, where
a domestic servant woman, admitted with
symptoms that defied diagnosis, was the
other morning found dead in bed. Post
mortem examination then dissipated the
mystery. A malignant tumor-a sarco-
ma-had spread itself over the entire vault
of the Uranium, and the heart, liver and
lungs were partially petrifed by a thick
calcareous deposit. Further examination
showed that the sareoma had entirely de-
composed and eaten away the bony struc
ture of the Uranium, and that its constit-
uents had been carried BY the blood into
the principal organs The heart had been
literally choked until it could no longer
perform its functions

Alfalfa as q Hog Food.

At one of the Canadian institutes a
speaker said that ''in no way will alfalfa
yield a larger return than as pasture for
hogs A great many of the farmers are
doing this, and are getting very large re-
turns know one who kept ten head of
hogs to the acre of alfalfa, and they were
not able to keep it down, and he cut it for
hay once and got ton to the acre. 1t is
possible to grow good large hogs on alfalfa
without any other food, but the best re-
suits have been obtained from feeding a
small amount of some other food along
with it, such as corn | would feed about
two ears per day to hogs pastured on al
falfa."
