EDUCATED THE PEOPLE.

How Merchants Of Some Western
Towns Held Trade.
There are towns in the western agri
cultural sections which a few years
ago were getting only half the trade
that was to be had in the district.
Merchants became convinced that they
were weak somewhere. They found
that they were not advertising rightly
and commenced campaign which has
resulted in driving the catalogue houses
out Of business as far as these towns
are concerned.
The newspapers Of these places tell
of the enterprise Of the merchants.
The merchants themselves will tell you
that they do not fear the mail order
houses, as they have educated the peo-
pie to trade at home. The people who
were mail order house patrons will tell
you that they know that they can do
better by buying at home, that they
are convinced that their interests are
best protected by the home merchant
and that since they have thrown off
the mail order habit they are saving
more money.

water should be applied to the back
and crown Of the head, after which he
should he allowed to stand in a shady
place outdoors.
II, however, the exhaustion becomes
more pronounced and the eyes of the
horse are bloodshot, the nostrils fiery
red and the pulse bounding strong and
fast, give, In addition to the above
treatment, four ounces Of good whisky
in pint of water or one ounce of arc
matte spirits of ammonia and two
ounces Of spirits Of nitrous ether In q
quart Of water, repeating the dose ev-
cry hour until the pulse becomes nor
NAL and the horse stops painting and
holds up his head; then give him a half
pailful Of water in which one ounce Of
pulverized saltpeter has been dissolved.
The next day give one-third of an
ounce Of the saltpeter in the drinking
water three times.
If, after all this treatment, the horse
lapses into condition Of semicon-
sciousness. which can be told by a
sleepy look, the eyes half closed, for
getting to chew the food taken into the
mouth and staggering when attempting
to walk, he should be given two grams
OF iodide of potash three times daily in
the drinking water. The food should
be composed Of soft mashes and fresh
green grass and the head kept cool by,
applying cold water. but not ice packs,
as they are apt to produce softening Of
the brain
1t is dangerous to bleed a horse for
equally harmful to dose him with tine
ture OF aconite.

THE VETERINARY.

A mixture Of equal parts Of hcorfce
three times each day is recommended
for the pig that coughs. A lump Of
coal tar placed well down the throat
while the pig is held up on its feet is
also good.

To Prevent Lamb Collie.
After losing lambs for a number Of
years from collie, says a breeder, and
not being able to find any cause by
careful examination Of the entrails I
concluded the trouble was caused by
the lamb getting too much milk. as it
Is always the largest and latest that
die. So I remove the flock at once to
the poorest pasturage possible, and the
trouble ceases at once. I also find by
experience that II the flock is kept Oh
the newly sown fields the lambs are
not SO apt to be affected

HORSES IN SUMMER.
Care and Attention They Should Have
During Hot Weather.

Care and Attention They Should Have
During Hot Weather.
Extreme hot weather brings more or
less suffering to a horse. The animal
that has not received the proper care
and attention Is very apt to become a.
victim Of heat exhaustion. A bran
mash twice week will assist in keep
Ing the system cool, and in case OF
overfat dram Of pulverized saltpeter
added to the mash will be beneficial.
: When the weather is very hot it is
better to allow the teams two hours for
dinner instead Of one, and they should
not be fed until they are somewhat
cooled off, It will also be best to take
of the harness while the horses are
eating their dinner. This extra labor is
Offset by the comfort given the ami
mails.
In three horse team the middle
horse is more liable to heat exhaus-
ton than the rest on account of the ad-
ditional amount of heat radiated from
the horse on either side of him. It
therefore is advisable to so change the
horses that one will not be compelled
to be in the middle more than half
day at time.
Should it be seen that the animal
lags, droops his head, pants hard or
ceases to perspire he should at once
be unhitched and the harness removed !;
then with a hose Or sponge very cold

The bishop had just landed q blue
fish 1t was big fish, and before it
was finally hauled into the cockpit or
the Sally 3. it had displayed undoubted
qualities of gameness that had warmed
the cookies of the bishops heart.
Therefore. as jim Croker, who al
ways took the bishop out when he
fshed in Sepennessett bay fattened
down the sheet and headed the little
,,atboat for the rips once more there
was a seraphic smile on the bishops
intellectual face.
He stood with one foot on the seat,
paying out his line astern, his eyes
taking in delightedly the sparkle and
fash Of the water and the little white
clouds creeping up above the horizon
Those clouds whispered Of smart
breeze later on, and with the wind
freshened a bit it would be an ideal
day for fish. Anon the bishop turned
to survey his latest catch. and each
time as he did so he gave a little
chuckle Of satisfaction.
Suddenly there was a mighty tug at
the line; aStern was fash Of blue
and silver as the fish leaped from the
water. The bishop took firmer hold
ON the line, and his eyes glowed with
excitement.
Ease her up bit. Jim," he called
to the man at the tiller. Look at the
fellow I've hooked this time. He's the
father Of them all"'
So engrossed was the bishop with
his fish that he did not hear the quick
painting Of gasoline engine, nor did
he see the power boat tearing toward
them, sending up twin waves of white
spume at its bow.
Just as the second ashland it was
considerably larger than the first-was
hauled aboard the Sally B. the cough
ing exhaust of the engine ceased and
the power boat shot alongside.
There were two men in it-a big,
athletic young fellow with clean cut
features who stood beside the wheel in

The principal reason for the popu-

that the water there descends rapidly
