In some parts of Europe corn cobs
are used for building purposes. The
cobs are collected and taken to a fac
tory, where heavy congresses crush
and mold them into blocks Of various
sizes, just as bricks are variously
n0ided. These blocks are then bound
with wire so as to make them hold to
gether. They are then soaked in tar
to make them water.tight, and ere
ready for use after this treatment. Of
course, they are much lighter than
bricks. are always dry, and make good
houses. This is but one of the very
many ways In which Europe shows
greater economy than Amerca does
There Is little over there which goes 10
waste. Even the refuse and garbage
of Paris is made TO serve purpose by
being burned and converted into pow
er.

Feet of the Horse.

The usefulness of horse depends
largely upon the quality of his feet. If
they are sound and well taken care Of
he is able to travel and work well,
but If they are defective and neglected
his usefulness is Impaired and he can
aot be depended ON in any emergency,
as he is liable, when his services are
most needed, to become partially If not
wholly disabled, resulting in serious
loss to his owner. But few horses are
born with perfect feet, yet the defects
by careful treatment are often entire
ly cured; also many horses with sound
hoofs are practically ruined by the
ignorance or carelessness of black
smiths
The proper shoeing of horses and the
general care of their feet is a matter
that should receive the strict attention
Of every farmer, and yet, as a rule,
it is wofully neglected. The farmer
should have knowledge of the natural
formation of horses foot. so as to be
able to determine whether the animal
is being properly shod or not, and
while that is being done he should
never go away and leave the smith to
slight the work to get through with 1t
or butcher its feet II he does not I'M
derstand his business.
While no debate rules for shoeing
horses can be given, some general prin-
ciples are acknowledged by all COM
petent horseshoers, namely, the heel
should never be cut except to remove
a ragged point. The same is true Of
the frog, which is an elastic cushion,
intended to reduce the impact Of sud
den shock to the foot. The butteris
is an instrument that may do an i'm
mense amount of damage In the hands
of an incapable operator. Much mis-
chief Is done by 1t every day.
When the toe is too long and projects
beyond the hoof, 1t causes stumbling
and 1t should be shortened A hot iron
should never be applied to the foot to
ascertain its evenness, as many black
smiths do merely to save time, when
they know it is not right A scared
surface between the hoof and the shoe
makes the contact less perfect and the
shoe necessarily less rigid than 1t ought
to be.
The outside of the hoof should not be
rasped more than is necessary to clinch
the nails, as this thins the crust and re-
duces the strength of the bearing sur
face Of the foot. Weakening and decay
are sometimes the result of this prac-
tice. on applied to the hoofs occasion
ally during dry weather is beneficial.

UnproatabIe Experimenting,

IN the entire realm of scientific In
vestigation there is nothing more inter
esting and marvellous than the growth
and development of plants from the
beginning or the termination of the
seed to the reproduction OF the germ.
Each species of plant has its distinct
I've character and life habits and only
nourishes where natural conditions are
favorable to its growth. To attain any
degree Of perfection, the soil and elm.
ate combined must be such as the
plants require, although a moderate de-
gree OF success may be attained when
either OF these factors are not exactly
suited to its growth, but where both
are deficient In any considerable de
gree the plant can not be successfully
grown, except by artificial means
whereby the necessary natural condi-
tons are created. If the chemical com.
position of the soil is favorable, and
climatic conditions unfaverable, the
latter can be created artificlally-such
as protection from cold and excessive
neat and lack of moisture like
wise, II the soil is deficient in the
chemical elements which the plant re.
qulres, they can be added to, but in
either case the process is laborious and
expensive and the results unsatisfac-
tory. All plants are indigenous to
certain kinds of soil. and all soils are
especially adapted 10 the growth of
certain kinds of plants. and nature can
not be improved upon in any way, nor
can her deficiencies be successfully
remedied by artificial means In order,
therefore, to be successful in his bust
ness, the farmer must keep close to
nature and mark well her ways" lie
must raise only such crops as are best
adapted to the soil Of his farm. In ac-
cordance with his experience, and

Miss Belle Kearney, head Of the

Miss Belle Kearney, head Of the
Woman's Suffrage Association in Mis-
sissipi, is in Jackson in the interest of
state prohibition. Miss Kearney
states that prohibition is the immi-
nent question before the people at
this time and that no attempt viii be
made during this session of the legis-
lature to secure the passage OF an act
for the enfranchisement of women.
State prohibition may be the solution
to the whiskey evil in Mississippi, but
the historv of its adoption in other
states that have tried it has been
somewhat to the contrary- Restraint
from drink is secured more by moral
suasion than by coercion, and any law
that restraints an appetite, which
many believe they have the inherent
right to indulge, Is Obeyed only when
it can not be violated. In view of
this truth. the enforcement of state
prohibition would be found much
more difficult than the local option
laws, for the reason that in some
sections sentiment would be antag
onistic and lacking of the moral
element. In such sections, prohibi-
ton would not be enforced, drunken
ness would not be decreased. and
many Of the youth would grow up
into worse citizens from continual eX-
amples of non-observance of law.
