There has been a rapid increase the
last few years in the number and value
Of the horses and mules In the United
States.
In 1900 there were 15,624,OOO horses
and mules In the United States. Dur
Ing the next five years there was an
Increases Of 27.7 per cent, 80 that on
January /, 1905, the number Of horses
and mules had increased to 1896, 900,
but the increase did not stop at that
rate. On the first Of January, 1907.
there were no less than 23,564. 900
horses and mules, showing an increase
Of 1S per cent during the two years
subsequent to 19O5.
Those who are inclined to talk over
production at the present are confront
ed with the indisputable fact that dur
ing the seven, years when the Increase
In numbers amounted to 30 per cent
there was also an increase In price per
head amounting to over 80 per cent.
Thus on January 1, 1900, our horses
and mules were valued at $715,6SS, 900,
while on January /, 1905, they were
valued at $2,274,642,O00.
This is a phenomenal record and yet,
Notwithstanding this extraordinary In
crease in number ana value, horses are
in greater demand to-day than they
have ever been before in the history of
he United States.

Nail wound. in Horses Feet.


1t has long been known that nail
pricks and other similar Injuries IN
the horses hoof may lead to an infec-
tion followed by the formation or pus
under the horn of the hoof, and seri-
GUS general disease Of the horse, or at
least the loss of the hoof.
In a bulletin of the South Dakota
Station, Mr.. Moore recently reported
results obtained in a number of cases
from applying a strict antiseptic treat
ment to injuries Of this sort. Inc
method consists in pairing away the
horn of the hoof from the arected
part until the blood oozes out. The
foot is then thoroughly washed In So
luton of bichloride Of mercury, In the
proportion of one part to 800 parts OF
water, after which absorbent cotton.
saturated In a solution Of the same
strength, is applied to the wound, and
the whole hoof Is packed in cotton, sur
rounded by bandage and well coated
with tar. This prevents any further
filth from coming in contact with the
wound.
The operation must usually be done
by a qualified veterinarian. Subse-
quent treatment, however, can be ap-
piled by the average farmer, since all
that Is necessary Is to pour little OF
the solution of bichloride Of mercury
upon the cotton which projects from
the upper part Of the bandage Tho
cotton will absorb enough of the solu-
ton to keep the wound moistened and
hasten the healing process. If rem
edy of this sort is not adopted In the
case of a foot wound in the horse, the
owner runs considerable risk of seri-
Gus infection either Of blood poisoning
or lockjaW.

Keeptnp HOG. In Bounds.

Here is an easy plan Of keeping hogs
from going from hog pastures to COW
pastures, and at the same time allowing
the cattle to go from one pasture to
the other at will. AS shown in the
sketch, the opening in the fence may
be as wide as desired. Two by twelve
inch plank are nailed to the fence posts
about four or six inches from the
ground, and two extra posts are set out
from the fence about foot The plank
is nailed to the inside of these posts,
and this plank should be about four
feet longer than the one fastened to
the fence SO as to go by the opening at
each end about two feet. The hogs

No Nurne Cron for Alfalfa.

Some people still think alfalfa should
be sown with nurse crop. Those who
have had experience with 1t know bet
ter. A recent publication Of the Ari-
zona Experiment Station sums up the
facts as follows:
Nurse crops hinder the development
Of tops and roots Of alfalfa, especially
when by reason Of thick stand or
rank growth shading effects are excess
slve. After the removal Of the nurse
crop the weakened and undeveloped al
falfa plants are poorly fitted to with
stand drought and the stand may be
lost. In the average instance the loss
In yield Of alfalfa due to nurse crop
probably more than offsets return from

TRANSPORTATION Charges.

The freight and transportation
charges on a full car of strawberries
from southern points are often from
5000 to $500, while on a car Of south
ern peaches the cost Of refrigeration
and the high priced packages that have
to be used run the cost up above $500
on each car that comes into the State
$4O0 of this would be profit or increased
income to the local grower.
The local grower can often sell d.
rect to consumer: there are no heavy
or refrigerator charges to pay, and
these two items alone often eat up over
one-half to two-thirds Of the gross sales
OF fruit brought from distance, while
the local grower saves it. Fl. Hale

the cold months in a cellar provided
for the purpose. He states that bees
may be successfully wintered in cellars
provided the cellar is given over entire

purpose. There Is always an un-
healthy odor. that is as disastrous to
bees as anything else. emitted from de-
cayec fruits, vegetables and such things

MulchinH Helna.

A very intelligent and observing
farmer says: The Importance of a
mulch to counteract a drought was
presented to me in a rather forcible
manner last spring. We had planted
a few rows Of early beans and after
they had come up we had cold spell,
and in order to save the beans from the
frost, they were covered with planks.
After the danger from frost had passed,
at one end of the rows the planks were
laid between the rows and left for
about two weeks, which was dry sea-
son. At the other end the planks were
moved clear away. The part where the
planks were between the rows made
double the growth of the others The
growth was evidently due to the mois-
ture saved by the planks.

He could hardly repress a cry of sur

pertinent that Casagne had put in opera

head raised very much after the style Of

One form Is that which requires an

CHAPTER VII.


Alfred Cassagne was the son of
large contractor, who had accumulated
n considerable fortune in the construction
of those remarkable docks In the city Of
IIavre, which have helped to make that
place the most important harbor Of
France. He lost his father when n mere
child. His mother, dying when he was
but twenty-five years of age, had left
him amply provided for. But he had
never married. OF quite studious turn
of mind, he had devoted himself to
books, and might possibly have degener-
ated into book worm, or have sunk 80
low as to become an author, If an event
had not transpred which changed the
whole current of his existence.
He awoke one morning to find that the
cashier of bank where he usually had a
large balance, had absconded with the
funds Of that institution. Where he had
gone, was equally mystery to the police
and the officers of the concern. Having
considerable interest in the capture of the
fugitive, Cassagne set about making in
quiries on his own account. From these
inquiries he quietly deduced his own the.
ories, and one morning, to the intense
establishment of the chief of police, he en-
tered the presence Of that functionary
and stated his opinion ON the case very
briefly. 1t was to the effect that the
president Of the bank and the cashier
were in collusion, and that the cashier,
whom most people believed to be by that
time safely In America. that Mecca for
European rogues, would be found hiding
In the presidents own private residence.
The chief Of police had laughed at first /;
but Alfred Cassagne was permitted to
proceed. II was known he was gentle
man OF fortune; and men OF means are
never snubbed very badly anywhere.
Very soon, moreover. the official grew
serious. BY a system of logical deduc-
tion from circumstances already known,
Cassagne established his theory on basis
so ingenious as to excite the chiefs warm.
est admiration. Subsequent search dis
covered that the state OF things Cassagne
had believed to exist In theory, was really
true.
Alfred Cassagne might now possibly
have been forty years OF age, though when
not disguised, owing to his smoothly
shaven face, he appeared TO he younger
He was rather above the middle height
and though somewhat narrow across the
shoulders, the great depth OF his chest
made ample amends for this deficiency
His hair was cut very short to permit ol
his more readily wearing the various wig
BY which he frequently concealed his iden
tity. His mouth was well cut, the lip'
thin and somewhat purscd together, a.

SOEh IOf INC behh SEuPs
Beans may be planted late and ma
ture before probably frost. For sew
eral years beans have borne a good
price, and If the wheat crop proves to
be as short as threatened at this writ
ing the consumption Of them Is likely
to be larger than usual. The planting,
harvesting and thrashing Of beans may
be done by machinery now, which re-
moves former serious objection to
their culture; and II the crop area on
farm has been made smaller than
desired, by reason Of the cold spring, a
field Of beans might be advantageously
used In extending the seasons crops.
Good corn land is excellent for beans,
and their cultivation does not differ
materially from that of corn, hence 1t
does not require any special instructin
or skill to grow them successfully.
