Z ROW WITH SOLDIERS.

Sunday night drunken soldier
made trouble on the streets and dis
turbed the Salvation Army meeting.
Needless OF the admonitions of the
police he continued his career until
one Of the officers at the post, who
happened to be near, ordered his ar.
rest. On the way to the Jail SER
geant appeared, and promising to take
the man to the post, he was turned
over to him, as is the custom when
officers make such agreements. On
the outskirts of the city the drunken
man laid y down and refused to 60 fur.
ther, and the non.com finally left him
In disgust, and reported to the police
that he was unable to get him to the
post. According to the best informa.
ton that could be obtained, the drunk
en- soldier came back to town and
made himself obnoxious, and

was again arrested. When Chief
Wing and Policeman Eli got their
man half way to pail he re-
sisted actively, and about twenty Of
his companions tried to induce the
police to liberate him, failing which
they crowded in and tried to take the
man away from the officers. The po-
lice called on the crowd of about one
hundred, which had gathered, for as
sistance, but none was rendered until
Captain Armstrong of the Sixth in
fantry, who is detailed as militia In
structor of this state, went to the as
ssistance Of the police. No sooner had
he got into the trouble than he had
trouble Of his own, and was hit a
wicked crack in the face by one of
two men who jumped on him. One of

Whether it was a soldier or civilian
who struck the officers is not known.
but Captain Armstrong believes one

Mayor Smyth appeared on the scene
and ordered the crowd on the street
to dispense, which most OF the men
did, but "Ikey" refused to move on
and said things to the mayor which
caused his arrest for using profane
language on the street. Monday his
case was postponed for a week and
key was released on bond.
There is considerable comment on
the fact that a drunken crowd can
take a prisoner away from officers
and not a man respond to the call
for assistance. save two airy OFFICERS.

The beetles seem to come out just in
time to feast on the flowers and
young sets, and a single beetle can ac-
count for many punches of grapes at
such a time.
On just such an occasion. the
writer, in company with his assistant
Mr.. E. J KrRus, visited a vineyard at
Decatur, a well-known grape region.
Here a pan seven feet six inches long,

HUS BANDS.

Husbands are largely manufactured
out of the raw material grown on
farms and outlying districts. There
are some few city varieties, but. they
are poor in quality. The farm output
is usually taken to the city early in
life, and fed on rum, tobacco and bust
ness until he becomes fat enough to
kill for the matrimonial market. He
is then led out to the slaughter and
used thereafter as basis for milli-
merry and dress goods.
Husbands form one of our chief as
sets. They are patient, docile under
treatment, become Injured early in life
to hard labor, and are useful at dinner
parties and political gatherings.
The American variety differs from
the foreign breeds in many important
particulars. He is more easily domes-
ticated and stands any amount OF
abuse without complaint. There are
several instances on record where
husbands have slept night after night
starched under their personal supervi
sion, without murmuring. They have
even been known, in rare instances
to attend church regularly.
There are several kinds of hus-
bands. The early morning variety is
very companionable, but short-lived
In some households the silent husband
is the main feature, acquiring this
great gift by long practice. The liter.
airy husband, as a rule, is thin and
poor and has his fur rubbed off in

Keep Horse Collar Clean.

BY allowing dirt and hair to collect

ders are caused. Improperly fitting
collars will produce the same results.
Use none other than a perfect fitting
collar If you do not understand fit
ting the collar take an experienced
man with you when you visit the har-
ness store. Always use a good pad
one that contains no Jumps in the
padding or that has padding that can
not be easily detached and moved
into Jumps under the collar. Then
keep the shoulders clean. 1t is a good
plan to wash the horses shoulders
every evening after removing the har-
ness. The application of cold water
not only cools the fevered skin, but it
also hardens the flesh so it can resist
a greater pressure the next day.

E. V. Hayden, in whose vineyard the
test was made, writes in substance:
In the north block where the spray
was strong, the unsprayed rows aver
aged little more than half as much
as the average of the two rows that
were sprayed The beetles had been
at work for a week when the spray
was applied. No injury to the vines
resulted from the strongest of the
mixture"
This looks very encouraging, but
the grower must always keep in mind
that the spraying must be done thor
oughly, everything must be hit and
all parts of the vine washed with the
mixture Also use a pump with an
agitator which will work when the
pump is moving slowly.

THE LIVESTOCK.

1t is a good plan to have the horses
and cows clean up their managers after
each feed.
Horses, like men, should be COM
fortably cared for if you desire to get
good results.
When lice get a foothold spray the
hogs; also spray the pens and burn
all the rubbish.
Sheep manure as a fertilizer is
three times more valuable than that
dropped by cows.
There is such a thing as overfeed-
ing. Feed stock all the food they will
assimilate, but no more.
Never break a colt by a slow walk
err because he will fall into the same
habit; and habits, once formed, are
hard to break.
Horses do not need medicine unless
they are actually sick Good care and
good feed with proper exercise is what
they require most of all else.
Hogs penned where they can get no
shade will not thrive and are more
susceptible to disease than if given
plenty of both shade and sunshine.

CATTLE KILLING DEVICE.

Consul Maxwell Blake reports that
in spite of much initial opposition on
the part of Scotch cattle killers of the

BY unscrewing the opposite end from
the muzzle the cartridge may be in

bullet. This guard is not displaced
until the weapon is about to be used.
