EJECT of the Horse.

To get the most from q horse its feet
must be kept in proper condition; not
only we'll and properly shod, but cared
Tor by the owner in the matter OF clean
illness. The beginning of slch care
should be the clean stable; that is, the
stable clean Of MANURE, than which
nothing is worse for b horse to stand
In for any considerable time. When
the horse comes in from a day OF work
in the fields, which are soft, or from a
hard drive on muddy roads, look after
Its feet and legs. Each hoof should be
looked over carefully and cleaned, and
the legs should be groomed as carefully
as the sides. Then there are the por-
ions of the coat which are covered by
the harness which ought to have good
care each time the horse is brought into
the barn. First Of all, see that the har-
ness fits well, then, after embarrassing
wipe off the places touched by the bar
ness, using a moist rag or sponge. II
there is any suspicion of a rubbing,
look to the cause at once and remove
1t. There is DC time in the work days
of the horse when good care Il watch
fulness will do so much to keep him In
good condition as during the period Of
hard spring work.

center wall lengthwisc under the floor
to carry the hOor joistS, which will be

To arrange an elevator for horse
power, a hopper that will hold at least
90 bushels should be sunk in the floor
close to the door and at one side to
empty grain for the wagon. The ele-
vator is an ordinary built elevator with
buckets standing upright and in the
rear corner Of enter bin. The box at
bottom of elevator must be close on the
ground to be connected with the deliv-
cry hopper by q spout, with sufficient
slope that the grain will run freely.
The elevator will discharge well above
the upper joists into a hopper In the
center of the building, to which a fun
nel7shaped spout Is attached, that can
be shifted to deliver into any of the
bins. The horse power should be plac-
ed at the end Of the granary, and drlv-

IN opening in the wall left for the pur-
pose. The details can be all worked

Smoking Meat.

The best fuel for smoking meats Is
green hickory or maple wood, smoth.
cred with sawdust of the same mate
rial. Hardwood of any kind is prefer.
able to soft wood. Resinous woods
should never be used, as they are like
lg to impart bad lavors to the products.
Corncobs are the best substitutes for
hardwood and may be used If desired.
Soft woods and corncobs give off large
amounts of carbon in burning, and this
is deposited on the meat, making 1t
dark in color and of rank flavor. Juni-
per berries and fragrant woods are
sometimes added to the fire to flavor
the meat.

Eczema Broke OutAlso on Hands and
Limbs-An Old Soldier Declares:
"Cuticura Is a Blessing"
"At all times and to all people I
am willing to testify to the merits Of
Cuticura. 1t saved me from worse
than the torture Of hades, about the
year 1900, with itching on my scalp
and temples, and afterwards it COM
menced to break out on my hands.
Then it broke out on my limbs. then
went &c d Surgeon, whose treatment
did me no good, but rather aggravated
the disease. l then told him l would
60 and see a physician in Erie. The
reply was that l could go anywhere,
but a case of eczema like mine could
not be cured; that I was too old 800.
l went to an eminent doctor in the
six months, with like results. l had
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and so
l sent for the C%uticura Soap, Ointment,
and Re%solvent, and continued taking
the Resoivent until ! had taken six bot
ties, stopping it to take the Pills. l
was now getting better. I took two
baths a day, and at night I let the
lather of the Soap dry IN. I used the
Ointment with great effect after wash
ing in warm water, to stop the itching
at once. I am nov cured. The Cuti-
cura treatment Is a blessing, and
should be used by every n who has
itching Of the skin. 1 can't say any
more, and thank God that He has
given the world such a curative. VIM.

Grubs in Backs of Cattle,

Grubs in cattle are caused by the
gadny depositing its eggs on the backs
of cattle, and the young larvae, after
issuing from the egg, bores its way
through the animals skin and remains
lodged in the cellular tissue until it
attains maturity. The grub may be de-
tected by a swelling of the skin Of the
animal. The swelling should be
squeezed, which will cause the larvae
to be elected. If it is not easily re-
moved, a small opening should be made
in the skin with a sharp pointed knife,
and the larvae may then be extracted
with q curved needle.

Watch for Seed Authorizations.
The work of different experiment sta
tions has shown that n large number of
foreign seeds are contained in clover
and alfalfa seed. including the dod-
dcrS. which are so destructive to alfal-
IA, and a large number of bad weed
pests like the narrow plantain, wild
mustard and a host Of new weeds.
inc impure sample of last years sup
ply contained thlrty-two species Of for
eign seeds, including both species Of
dodder, the plantains. many common
weeds. three species of Western weeds
that are new in Ohio and as many
European weeds that have beef here
tOfore unknown IN this State. At least
Il dozen new weeds have beer intro
duccd into Ohio in alfalfa seed during
half as many years.
While his is unacceptable 1t Is still
more so to get only black medick (yel-
low trefoil) plants rs many have done,
where supposed alfalfa seed was sown.
In these times of high-priced seeds
there is temptation to adulterate with
cheap seeds like the black medick. etc,
which have very slight value as forage
plants with us: there Is like DISPOSE

such seeds will do we'll to be assured Of

For Calloused Shoulders.

A farmer in North Dakota gives his
method of treatment and cure of cal
loused shoulders of work horses in the
Dakota Farmer, which he says he has
used with uniform success. as follows:
II cut a slit in the front part Of the
collar opposite the c%allous, then cut
another slit at right angles across the
first one. 1 hen take out enough Of
the filling to allow for callous. After
soaking face of collar in warm water
I lay the front part, where cuts have
been made, on a plank or something
solid, and pound face of collar where
1t presses on c~allous, with round-faced
hammer, till a sufficient hollow has
beer made. This plan will work
whether collar has been used with or
without pad. Then when the horse
comes in from work I battle the callous
in water as hot as can be borne and
paint with iodine. You will find this
plan worth trying, and l will guarantee
the collar viii not be injured"

q bellboy, and young johnson answered
the call.
Being so fond Of music, he made bol0
to ask the great composer and pianist
to play the "Minuet" for him. Pad
erewski could not understand English

it. So he sat down at the piano and
commenced playing. Paderewski's
manager happened to enter the room
just then, and. enraged at the bellboy's
presumption. threw him out of the DOM
