LONDON, May 1S.-Where are the
Americans? is question that has been
of fashionable west end hotels.
us not your hotel filled?"
Yes, but not by any means with
Americans. We know Paris is filled
with them. Reports from all over the
continent are almost to the same effect,
but in London, no."
This is true of many well known
Americans who are usually here at this
time of the year. They have not ar
rived. Hotel people tell you that large
percentage of those here now have
never been in London before. Advance
bookings are in most cases June, and
this is taken to mean that everybody
will want to be here for the interna-
tional horse show.
The weather during the week has left
much to be desired, though Monday
was fine, Thursday afternoon clear and
warm and Friday was an ideal day.
While one sees Americans on the streets
they are by no means plentiful as yet
Visitors go in so much for automobil-
ing nowadays, too, either in their own
cars or hired vehicles, that over-sea
folk seem almost as scarce as they were
months ago.
Some persons deeply interested in
transatlantic travel profess to be
greatly alarmed for the effect upon
London of the installation of the new
White Star service to channel ports,
arguing that Paris will become more
than ever the first objective point OF
Americans, who will neglect London
altogether.
However, the general opinion is that
London has sufficient attractions to
compel visit from the majority of the
transatlantic travellers.

is then called at the hour indicated.
The phonograph graciously announces
Your majesty now is the time to call

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies Frultless-Suf.
fered 10 Years - Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

Ms #
Small sores appeared on each Of
my lower limbs and shortly afterwards
they became SO sore that I could
scarcely walk. The sores began to
heal, but small scaly eruptions ap
peared. The itching was so severe
that ! would scratch the sores until the
blood began to flow. After I suffered
thus about ten years I made a renewed
effort to effect a cure. The eruptions
by this time had appeared on every
part OF my body except my face and
hands. The best doctor in my native
county and many remedies gave no
relief. All this was fruitless. Finally
my hair began to fall out and I was
rapidly becoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, ! thought / would try Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After
using three boxes ! was completely
cured, and my hair was restored, after
fourteen years Of suffering and an ex-
penditure OF at least $50 or $50 in vain
ly endeavoring to find a cure. B.

Don't Shut Her In.

After q brood SOW has had a run
on pasture and the weather has grown
warm, do not attempt to coniine her in
a pen at narrowing time. If you do,
the probabilities are that she will be-
come feverish and will disappoint you,
II not herself die, I would rather let
her have her liberty and give her
some shelter out In the open posture
than to try and confine her. She may
have to be watched and some rain and
Jul proof protection put over her and
her young litter, but this will mean no
move work than shutting her up and
YOU will stand ten times as gcof
chance Of success.

should be used in making the three
perpendicular sides Of the tank, but
the slanting side should be left open
to be built after the other three walls
have dried. When this box is set into
the hole, 1t will leave four inches on
either side of the sides and four inches
on the perpendicular end of the box
and the walls. Fill in the mortar in
this opening and leave till 1t has suf-
fciently dried to remove the box.
Then the floor on the slant should be
made. Start at the bottom and put on
a layer of cement four inches thick,
allowing it to reach six inches upward
on the incline. At the top of this
layer, six inches wide, place a Iiece of
2x2 so that it will extend one inch
above the surface of the cement.
Then put another layer of cement six
inches wide above this in the slant,
finishing with another 2x2. Continue
this till the entire incline has been
covered. 1t is necessary to have the
GAAS 1IupSuuSu Ill lu6 C0u16ub 10 d.
ford a foothold for the animal when it
attempts to come out of the tank, as
cement is very slippery.
In some of the western states,
where the soil is naturally dry and
very hard,a great many make dipping
tanks by simply plastering the interior
walls of dirt with two or three coats
of cement. Such a method of con-
.struction will answer the purpose
when none but hogs and sheep are to
be dipped, but for the larger animals,
there is danger of the cement being
broken and the dip wasted. 1t is
much more durable and a great deal
cheaper in the end to make four-inch
walls as suggested above. The tank
should be so located that it can be
easily fenced, Usually by placing it
at one side Of the hog pens, but one
side need be fenced, the hog fence
serving for the other side.

Tip from II. SAGE.

Wen" yawned the sage of the park
bench, this business of chasing dogs
around the town and taking them to
the pound may be all right in some
ways, but it certainE is wasting a lot
of valuable power"
APower?" calculated the park DO
iiceman in surprise.
Yes, power. When a dog is in a
good humor he wags his tail, doesn't
he?"
Believe he does"
We'll, now, if we could keep all the
stray dogs in a good humor and stand
them in a row and let them wag their
tails from morn till night, why, man,
there would be enough power generat-
ed TO run a trolley line. Niagara
wouldn't be in it. Wonder to ne

HummIna Birds In Enuland.
2l5 Alamo Plaza,

Considerable interest is excited by
the humming birds now on view at
the geological garlens. Fifty-three of
these tiny, fragile birds were taken
on board from Venezuela; many died
on the voyage, but the fittest u r
vived, and 20 reached Regents park
alive. At the time Of writing II are
shown in two large glass cages fur
nished with Towering plants. and
placed in the insect-house, which can
be kept at a high temperature. Moths
in a cage near look bigger than these
small birds. 1t is to be hoped that
these dainty feathered gems may take
kindly to their new surroundings, and
live long to delight the eyes of many
jewellers in smoky London.-West-

SCRATCHES IN HORSES.
Simple Abrasions Of skin may Result
In Permanent Defect.

We see grease heels and itchy legs
In very many stables, especially where
draft horses are being raised. When
a horse gets a grease leg he is at once
pronounced an unsound horse, simply
from the fact that this leg cannot in
most cases be reduced TO its normal
size. Grease legs usually begin with
scratches, which is caused by a bad
condition of the horses blood.
Some horses are much more subject
to this than others, in fact it has been
claimed that horses with a round bone
are more subject to these defects than
the flatter boned breeds. l have
found that the horses most subject
to these disorders are those that have
either been improperly fed or have
been worked too heavily and become
run down in condition. Frequently a
mare that has been nursing a colt
during the summer and then put into
heavy work during the fall months
and during this time fed on new
grain.
AS the mare loses her flesh some
swelling of the legs is noticed, and
some itching. The mare is continued
at hard work until the work stops off
suddenly, her blood then is overhead
ed and getting impoverished, causes
the legs to swell still more, causing
the skin to be feverish and by the rub
bling that follows, soon breaks the
skin and with the swelling breaks
open the flesh Just at the joints, then
the trouble begins; an open wound,
constantly irritated and subject to in
lection, besides the animal having
bad blood; such a wound it is almost
impossible to heal unless the cause is
removed.
Horses that get poor in flesh are
subject to many ailments, and
scratches is n of the most obiec-
tionable of these.
When a horse shows any signs of
swollen legs his case should be taken
In hand at once. The trouble then is
not hard to overcome. Very frequent
ly a change of grain with a boiled feed
once a day or bran mash, with lighter
work, giving the entire system a
change and rest, a light physic, such
as a pint of raw linseed oil given on
an empty stomach followed by light
food and a rest will often restore the
normal condition. How much easier
this treatment is than to allow the
case to continue until the horse gets
all out Of condition.
Good and proper feeding is the cure
for such troubles and in nine cases out
of every ten cases is preventive means,
says Farm Life, If the case has reach
ed the advanced stage, first thorough
ly wash the legs with an antiseptic So
luton and reduce the swelling by reg
ular exercise, apply a cooling liniment
and give the swollen limbs a nice rub
bling, which will exercise the circula-
ton, Do not expect the trouble to Ell
tirely disappear in a week; it perhaps
took months to get the horse in this
condition and it will naturally take
time to throw this off.
Thick legs are usually the result of
neglect in such cases, while the horse
may be able to do plenty of work after
getting a thick leg he is certainly I'M
sound.

WEAVING PIGS.
How to Handle Them During the Most
Critical Period of Their Growth.

The weaving period is the most
critical period in the pigs life. Hog
raisers make two mistakes in weaving
pigs. First, in weaving altogether too
young, and second, In not getting them
used to eating before weaving. A pig
is not in condition to depend altogeth-
er on feed from the trough before it is
at least ten weeks old. Although it
may seem previous to this time that
they are not getting much sustenance
from their mother, that little helps
wonderfully, therefore feed the moth
ers SO they will keep up a good flow
Of milk until the pigs can fully depend
on themselves.
All young things have a weak stom-
ach, or putting 1t in better words. all
young animals stomachs are deranged
very easily, hence the necessity Of
feeding them on feeds that are not fill
ed with hulls, such as are found in
barley or oatmeal, says Northwestern
Agriculturist. All grains made into
slop should first have these bulls re-
moved and then be soaked but not al
lowed to SOU before being fed. There
should always be a side trough pro-
'vided for the little pigs while they are
running with their mothers, where
they can learn to eat and then they
will do much better at weaving time.
At weaving time If 1t can be so
arranged that the mothers can be
removed and the pigs left in their
old runs and sleeping and feeding
places, they will feel more at home
and will not worry nearly SO much
as when the pigs are taken away and
put in strange quarters. 1t will also
pay to give particular attention to
their beds at this critical time.
