Curing Wire Cuts.

Here Is some useful information
from Dakota man. He says "There
are great many remedies used but I
have found the following to be one Of
the best: Common machine oil and
alum. Take alum and burn on stove
till white and dry; pulverize fine. Sat
urate wound with oil, then cover the
wound with alum, busted on with
dust spray. This may be applied once
or twice daily"

Many Kinds of Bees.

There are about 5000 species of the
wild bees, all with interesting ways of
their own. Among them is a species
whose females are veritable Amazons
and carry more and better weapons
than which deposit their eggs in the
nest of others, the progeny of both liv-
ing peaceably together until maturity,
when they separate. Then there is the
tailoring bee, which cuts leaves with
his scissor-like jaws and fits snug
lining Of the leaf material into his cave
shaped nest

Value of Line Breeding.

To the man who knows what he
wants in colts, the study of pedigree is
very important matter. The power
to perpetuate characteristics in horses
Is established by being kept up for
a long time. A sire Is usually prepo-
tent in proportion as he is lne-bred or
otherwise. Line-bred means bred with
the limits of one family for at least
several generations. The closer the re-
ationship at the outset Of the line
breeding, and the longer the duration
f such breeding, the more prepoteni
the sire Is likely to be.

All animals on the farm prefer foods
that may not be relished by some 9TH
ers. The farmer should take advan-
tage Of this fact and utilize all the ma
terials that might be wasted If there
were some animals that would accept
them. A judcious use Of the feed cut
ter, mixing little bran or meal with
the food, and tempting the animal with
a variety. will render serviceable even
such foods as wheat straw and corn
fodder. There are several modes of
serving corn fodder that will make It
acceptable to dainty animals.

Feeding Amin MS.

The common mode of feeding ami
mails is to give them grain in a separate
trough from hay or fodder, and at diff
ferent times. Such method is preferred
because it saves labor, but the best re-
suits are obtained by mixing the ground
grain with coarse food that has been
passed through the feed cutter. Less
food will then be required to obtain re-
suits, because the mixed food will be
better digested and assimllated than
when the substances are given sepa-
rately.

Dynevor, who was hand-in-glove with

left on the neck, wings, legs and rump,

ELECTRICITY HIS THEME.
It's Relation to Life Subject of DIR.
NcCOnneIPs Address.

'Ts Electricity Life? was the subject
of the lecture given yesterday afternoon
by Dr. Andrew Mcconnell at the regular
weekly meeting Of the Secular League, at
fythian Temple, 1Ol2 Ninth street north
west.
ITO prove vital force electricity" said
Dr. Mcconnell. I'VE will have an exact
science of health which will do away
with all patent medicines People will
see that all they need is electric vitality.
and knowing that patent medicines do
not produce that vital fo-se, il will be
the death blow to all spurious cura.ives
Through science we have done everything
except meet the elemental human needs
Of health and longer life. We have palace
cars and wireless telegraphy, yet we
have the same old indigestion of the
stage coachman. The one need of science
is 10 study the vital force, TO find out
what kind OF energy IL is. If II be electric
energy. as 1 have proven by a hundred
well-known experiments. and we find out
how IL is produced in the body, then by
increasing those natural ways OF supply
ing il we can cure all forms of chronic
diseases, as they are one and all caused
by low states OF vitality"
DR.. Mcconnell recently received an
offer OF 1,o00 from DR.. Heron, the mil
lionaire author, of Florence, to come 10
Italy and lecture on his theories and
researches. He Is as yet undecided
whether he Will accept the offer or not.
