Col. Clem's Commission.

Col. John l.. Glen, assistant quarter
master general, the Drummer Boy Of
Shiloh" was among the officers who
successfully passed Roosevelt's fifteen
mile test Of craftsmanship at the Pre-
sidio last week. Col. Glen does not owe
his equestrian skill to West Point in
structiOn, of which SO many officers
boast, and the reason why he is not Il
West Pointer, is worth relating. In the
early part of Grants first term Glen OBJ

Houses of Corn CObs.

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
nodded. 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 are
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 a
greater economy than America does

Healthy Kids.

In recently published reports of the
fair which took place at the Home OF
the Daughters of Jacob mention was
made of the chief usher, a lad" aged
105 years, and of the girls who sold
candy and lemonade, although they We're
only 103 and 1O7 years old. Some doubt
was expressed as to the ages of these in
mates of the home. Albert. Kruger, the
superintendent, said that there was nc
exaggeration and gave these figures from
his last report: 'These are the ages of
our wards: From GO to Go, three women;
65 to 20, three men and eleven women

A Dummy Soldiers Task.

durance test to determine the life of sew
eral new cartridge belts which are under
consideration by the board of ordnance
and fertilization Of the army. The dunn
my's tour of duty is at the Rock Island
Qll) arsenal. The dummy is the size of
an average soldier. BY a special mechan-
ical apparatus it is made to walk, with
the guidance Of a wire cable. as though
of a hall The mechanism is such as
to give the dummy the same motion as
would be experienced by the average
soldier in walking. About the waist of
the figure are strapped the various belts,
one at a time, which are being tested.
Each is filled with the regulation num-
Der of rounds of service cartridges, the
principal test being made with the sharp
nose bullet, to determine how long it VIII
take for these to wear through the peck

Feet of the Horse.


The usefulness of a 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
not 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 a 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 it
or butcher it's feet if he does not I'M
derstand his business.
While no definite 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 a 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 it every day.
When the toe is too long and projects
| beyond the hoof, it causes stumbling
and it 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
oulldCe DcINSeu lHc uOol anu Tic SuOe
makes the contact less perfect and the
shoe necessarily less rigid than it 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. Oil applied to the hoofs occasion
ally during dry weather is beneficial.

HoXy to Feed Out SiIage.

Owing to the constant contact of the
air with the top layer of silage it is
necessary to remove a horizontal layer
of silage to a depth of not less than
one and one-half inches daily to pre-
vent any from spelling. If this fact
is kept in mind when building a silo
its diameter can be made such as to
make possible the feeding of a layer
of this depth daily with the amount OF
