When TO Dehorn.

Buyers of feeding cattle give pref
erence to dehorned animals. There
is no question about their being gem
tier and quieter. 1t takes less shed
room, they eat from the hunks with
out crowding or horning away the
more timld ones. In fact, dehorning
seems to take all the fighting instinct
out of the animals, and they become
docile. Many dairymen practice de-
horning every COW brought into the
herd. and aside from a little bunting
no harm is done even under the
crowded sheds or barns. Early spring
is the best time to do this work, for
this gives the wound ample time to
heal before flies come. l have seen
this work put off until May and even
June, but this is always hazardous.
DO the work in February or March,
give the animals strong, nourishing
food for two or three weeks, and
keep them well sheltered, and there
will not be much cause for trouble.
| have seen feeding steers dehorned
in midwinter, without losing appetite
and apparently not shrinking one
pound. With young animals the clip
pers are lest to use. When aged
animals are dehorned a sharp saw is
best. Care should be taken to cut
the horn close enough so that no stub
will show, and still not cut so close
as to injure the skull Better still,
stop horn-growing in calfhood.

Manure ono Acre we'll.

Farmers sometimes do not gener-
ally appreciate what may be done
with small areas of land They are
accustomed to spread labor, cultiva-
tion and thought over large farm, and
1t does not seem possible to give this
any better culture or manuring than
they now do. The way to begin is
not to attempt little better culture
all around, but to try experiments
with a little land, and see what its
capabilities are. In such experiments
the farmers should begin with their
best land. If they were making ex-
periments merely to see what could
be done, and somebody else were
paying the bill. trial OF manures on
the poorest soil might best save to
show their effects. What is wanted

Human Examples.
Gladstone's determination. Having
planned one day to take long walk,
he took 1t, though it rained hard,
rather than break through his habit Of
accomplishing whatever he had under
taken.
George Muller's faith. He depended
entirely, for more than half a cent
ury, upon answers to prayer, for his
own support and the support Of humid
reds of orphans.
Washington's punctuality. Having
arranged to visit Salem, and to start
from Boston at eight, he started alone
at that hour the military company
which was to be his escort parading
the street at the time. He was far
on the way before the mortified troops
overlook him.
Henry Clay's patriotism. He pro-
posed plan which, as his friends told
him. would ruin his chances for the
presidency. But he persevered. say
ing, II would rather be right than be
president.
Surgeons faithfulness. A boy was
attending him to a strange church
when he asked whether the lad loved
Christ For years" said the boy, "I
have showed ministers the way to the
chapel, but you are the first to ask
mo that" The result was a soul won
TO the Saviour.
Luther's courage. A cardinals
mlnion once asked the reformer where
he would find a shelter II the elector
Of SaXony should desert him. "Under
the shield OF heaven!" was the un-
fiinching reply.

An Aztec ornx Quarry.

A geologist at Cuernavaca, Mexico,
has rediscovered an ancient Aztec
onyx quarry on the slope of a hill
near that place. Il shows evidence of
having been worked for hundreds Of
years. although other centuries have
passed since it was abandoned. The
deposit OF onyx was not exhausted by
the original quarrymen, and the stone
is said to be very beautiful, white,
yellowish or violet core being sur
rounded by concentric layers of a
brilliant red or brown color. When
sawed in slabs the stone exhibits very
striking designs OF varied hues.

In deep borings a serious difficulty
is often encountered with water
logged strata. This obstacle was sur
mounted lately in some mining op-
erations in Goslar, in Germany. A
shaft was being excavated some $50
feet deep, and 1t had to pass through
a layer of sand that was soaked with
water. The engineer forced down
thirty-four freezing tubes, placed in
two concentric circles, and this
turned the stratum into solid, work.

saratively easy.

Wife in Divorce Complaint Says Her
Husband Was Inveterate Gambler,
but Didn't Understand the Game
Little Bit.

Kokomo, Ind, Feb. 6. (Spl AN APP
plication for divorce that is out of the
ordinary in the language employed in
setting out the grounds on which a
decree is sought, has been filed in the
E. Miller of this city.
The plaintiff alleges that her hus-
band, Oscar Miller, abandoned her so
long ago that she cannot remember
either the month or the year he went
away; that during the period they liv-
ed together he made business of
boosting the bank accounts of bar
keepers; that he used his fist too
freely in enforcing his right to be boss
in his own home" and that he "suf-
fered from the lapse of memory when
e yer he was informed there was need
of food or raiment in the household"
The most interesting allegation, how
ever, is the following:
The defendant was an inveterate,
but unsuccessful gambler. He was
not possessed of sufficient judgment to
estimate the commercial value of a
pair of deuces, and he had been known
to hazard heavily and persistently on
an ace-full when he had been notified
that his adversary was in open, noto-
rious and undisputed possession OF
two pairs of queens"
