Secretary Root, the man who
reorganized the War department
and the army and who has been
invited by the President to do
the same work for the Navy de-
partment, has recently told the
Committee on Appropriations
that reorganization will soon be
indispensable in the State depart
ment. This department has al
ways been looked upon in Wash
ington as the smuggest and most
refined of all the departments
and the clerical force there has
piqued itself on being a little
better than its brothers and sis
ters of the clerical force in the
Postoffice department, the Inter-
iOr department, or even the War
and Navy departments. They
occasionally touch elbows with
the clerks of ambassadors and
foreign ministers and imagine
that their desks are diplomatic
centers and that they have some
thing to do with international
politics. Secretary Root does not
share in all these illusions of his
clerical force, but since the Uni
ted States has risen to eminence
and pre-eminence among the ma
tions of the world in finance, in
manufactures and in agricul.
ture, and since Secretary Root
has shown the world that he can
make an agreement, if not trea-
ty, that the Senators from Texas
and Georgia cannot puncture,
there is necessity for an improve
ment and reorganization in the
department over which Mason,
Fish and Olney once presided.

1t did not originate with me; learned
it from an old COW man who was most

the hay tea.
The hay is put into tank OF cask,
boiling hot water Is poured over it and
the steam Is shut in until it cOolS down.

and the tea left. The liquid seems Il

tinued and meal takes Its place, often

One of the lnost common ways to in

Collie Cure For Horses.
A good collie cure II given In season
Is two tablespoonfuls sweet spirits of
inter and tablespoonful of laudanum
1t is wise to keep staple article Of
collie cure always ON hand. Attention
to food ard drink will prevent this
trouble in most cases, Salts are good
laxative. ard linSeed oil also. 1t is
much better to correct this trouble
with small doses in the beginning than
to wait until powerful dose is neces-
sary and run the risk Of Inflammation.
A bitter tonic Is often needed by both
cows and horses. Dried and powdered
poplar or cherry bark is as good as
anything that can be used. AS an al
tentative sulphur is the simplest rem
edy known.
Breaking the Colt.
1t Is Il mistake to allow inexperi-
enced men. young or old. to give a
well bred colt his first lessons in har-
ness. A good colt breaker is very
valuable to any stock farm or any
community where highly bred trotting
stock Is bred and raised There is
greater danger of running colts that
develop speed rapidly when young
than those which mature slowly. Many
a promising race winning prospect has
been ruined for life by injudicious
handling when young.
Feeding Farm Horses.
In feeding farm horses to secure the
highest efficiency let the aim be to Sc
lect roughage materials that are nu-
tritiOus and wholesome and at the
same time free from mold and dust
with the proper supplement of corn
or oats or other home grown grain
materials. When this practice is fol.
lowed you will get efficiency and the
maximum Of work at the least expend-
iture Of effort and expense.
Breeding Good Horses.
Every community where horses are
bred should have a good thoroughbred
stallion. The French government has
been using them for years to improve
Its horses. Crossed on good mares
they make the best fire engine horses,
the best express and transfer horses,
the best all day road horses, the best
quick, active. big horse for any pur-
pose. one that can draw big load
and can go on trot on a hot day
without getting tired or painting.

minutes by the watch. Guessing at the
time is not reliable. Completely I'M

dip the entire flock a second time. Aft
