muscle. All muscles concerned with
locomotion are attached to bones, and
when they contract they cause the
bones to which they are fastened to
move. The lower part of a horses
legs are nearly all bone, but the mus
cles in the body and upper part of the
limbs are attached to various parts of
the bony construction by tendons and
can thus produce a motion of the parts
located some distance away. The
muscles we are discussing, when con-
tracted, are about three-quarters as
long as when at rest. The amount of
motion produced by the action of the
muscles of say one of the horses hind
legs, will depend upon the length Of
the muscles and the length and the re-
lation of the bones to which they are
attached. The common idea among
students Of this subject is expressed
in these words: Long muscles for
speed, short muscles for power" We
have already seen that long muscle
enables a horse to get over the ground
rapidly. A short muscle, however, is
not powerful because 1t is short, but
because in horses constructed on that
plan the muscles are thicker, contain
more fibers. all of which pulling to-
gether when contracted exert a much
greater pulling force than long. more
slender muscle. It is because Of this

Care of Furs.

Many a fine set of furs is ruined and
many an ordinary set worn out in half
its due time by carelessness or ig'
norance. 1t is not the wearing OF
them that hurts, but the lack of care
after they are taken off. They should
never be placed in a closet damp or
-crumpled up or with other clothing on
top. If they have been showed upon
shake them as dry as possible and
spread out in a warm place until they
are bone dry Then they should be
brushed the wrong way and hung up
or laid in a roomy box. Ermine and
,cbinchilla should be placed in layers
of tissue paper and cleansed occasion
ally with a lump of magnesia. Most
.furs which have become slightly soiled
NAV be freshened with piece of cot
ton damped with gasoline.

due to the crushed vertebrate, and the
of the spine, the walls of which were
torn and crushed, filling the spinal
cavity with blood and spicula of
splintered bone. All during the opera
ton DR.. Menstrina was working with
his instrument under the flow of blood
and entirely by the sense of touch.
The skin was lifted back from the
seat of the injury and then the heavy
muscles that guard the spine were
divided and lifted away, being held
out of the way by retractors so that
the operator could get at fractured
bones.
The periosteum, cartilaginous or
fibrous substance which covers the
bones, was Clipped away and the
spinous process, or the bone which
projects from the spine outward, was
chiseled and broken away by forceps.
After the spinous process had been
removed the operator was able to get
into the spinal canal through which
the spinal cord runs to the brain.
For the length of the three verte-
brae, the spinal cord was lifted from
the canal with delicate instruments
and the canal cleared of fluid and
spicula, or splinters of bone, which
were pressing against it. Then with
forceps-like instruments the trans
verse processes were crushed and
taken out until all the bony structure
of the three vertebrate nearest the
outside of the back had been removed.
The body of the bony structure of
the spine, that which lies back of or
behind the canal, was left and forms
the bed or support of the remaining
portions of the spine.
When the spinous and transverse
processes had been removed, the an
terror portion of the canal, a fibrous
substance, was cleaned and sewed as
a protection to the spinal cord, and
the heavy muscles brought over and
Joined as an artificial wall for the
canal.

Blazing Rat scares Woman.

McKeesport, PA large rat on
fire created excitement at the resi-
dence of Charles Calcutt, on Walnut
street.
Mrs. Calcutt,. when lighting the gas
in the kitchen range, was attracted by
a peculiar noise under the burners.
Suddenly a rat leaped from between
the burners and ran frantically about
the room, describing a circle of fire.
Mrs. Calcutt ran upstairs. Her hus-
band and several neighbors rushed in
and some one called for the fire COM
pany. The rat squeezed through a
hole and in doing so extinguished the
fire.

no benefit from his good parts. Some
horses may be seen whose knees are
not straight, others when looked at
from the front show that their feet
are not in line with their legs. Such
animals are more likely to slip or

There are a great many interesting
things about a horse which cannot be

home or from some neighbor who
keeps good horses. We will, however.
say something about horses feet. In.
side a horses hoof there are some
very sensitive parts resembling the
attachment of the finger-nail and the
finger. When anything gets wrong
with the foot, these parts cause a
great deal of pain and, even though
the horse is otherwise perfect. the

A Victorian Anthology.

One discovers already in her two
qualities which she retained through
life and which struck those who knew
her personally in her later years all
the more because they seemed at
first sight to be hardly compatible
qualities. One was a strong personal
pride and sense Of the dignity OF her
position. She was not naughty, much
less arrogant. But she was pene'
tratcd through and through with a
sense OF what II meant to be head OF
the United Kingdom and the British
Empire. Yet although this feeling

A SCHOOL FOR ARMY HORSES.
Fort Reno viii soon BE Opened as
a Remount station.

Picturesque old Fort Reno in Oak
land is to be made a ''remount sta
ton" a place where new mounts Will
be provided for cavalrymen. 1t Is
purposed to turn out more than
thousand head of horses and mules
each year, ready for the military. The
cayarymen who have been stationed
at the fort have gone to other posts,
and just as soon as stables can be
built the horse school will open, says
the Kansas City Star.
England and France have remount
stations, but Uncle Sam has not had
one heretofore. If the one here proves
q success, It is probable that all hors'
es and mules for the United States
army hereafter will go through
course Of training before graduating
into regular army life.
"A horse usually lasts about seven
years in, the service" said Capt. Letch'
er Hardeman, who is here arranging
for the opening ofl"school." "A mule
is good for ten years. The contrac'
tors who have been supplying the
army horses have been buying them
between the ages Of four and eight
,Sars. Our experiment will be with
three-year.olds exclusively.
"There1l be no broncho-busters
here. We don't care for any man
who would mount a three year old,
sock a pair rowels into his side and
fight it until it's broken in spirit and
broken in heart That kind Of break
ing may do on the plains, but it won't
do for the United states army. A good
cavalry horse must have a cavalry
mans spirit, Nor win the cavalrymen
themselves do the breaking. This
work will be In the hands Of civilians,
under the supervision Of army officers.
The best trainers we can find will be
employed After the horses have been
broken, cavalrymen will teach them
the game of war. No animal is to be
roughly handled Kind treatment
goes a long way with a horse in cul'
tiyating a good disposition.
I'VE believe there is economy in a
remount station. Not only will we
get a better, more desirable lot Of
horses, but by taking them as three
year olds, we will get from one to FIVE
years more service from them, than
when we took them four to eight years
old. They may be bought cheaper,
too.

Wheat In the Cotton Belt.

The first week in November Is early
enough to sow wheat throughout the
middle portion of the cotton belt. This
crop often succeeds we'll sown as late
as Dec. 1, provided the conditions
shall be favorable for termination for
two weeks after sowing not too cold
and weD. Land covered with thick
growth of grass, cowpeas or other veg
citation is not considered the best con-
dition for wheat, for the reason that
wheat likes a compact, smooth surface
soil. Turn your land well, then har-
row, then roll with a heavy roller,
then SOW the seed. A one or one and
half ton roller run over freshly plow
ed and narrowed surface once or twice
will compact the three or four inches
of surface soil. The wheat seed should
then be put in with a regular wheat
drill, says southern authority. I
would not apply less than 400 pounds
of fertilizer per acre and would prefer
500 to GOO pounds unless the land be
already rich. / recommend this for
mula: Two hundred pounds acid phos-
phate, 400 pounds of cottonseed meal
and fifty pounds of muriate of potash
per acre, supplemented with a top
dressing of fifty to seventy-fve pounds
of nitrate of soda in March if the ap-
pearance of the plants seem to indi-
cate the need of more nitrogen.

Crisp and Pleasant In Taste, Staehy0

This vegetable, known to the bota-
nists as Stachys sieboldi, has been In
troduced into America from Japan and
has a number of different names, such
MS japanese potato, Chinese artichoke.
chorogi, etc., but the name stachys
seems to have been adopted as the
common one in this country. The
plant Is a small perennial belonging to
the mint family and produces just be-
low the ground a multitude Of small
white crisp edible tubers varying from
an inch to two and one-half inches in
length and about one-half an inch in
thickness and marked by irregular
spiral springs, which give them cork
screw-like appearance.
Easy of Cultivation.
Stachys has been tested at the New
York (CornelD and a number of the
other agricultural experiment stations
and proved SO easy of cultivation and
pleasant in taste the favor resembling
artichokes) that the vegetable has made
many friends and is now procurable
at the markets in most of our larger
cities. The agreeable quality is in
considerable measure due to the crisp
ness Of the tubers, and as this disap-
pears when they are exposed to the air
they should be stored in sand or saw
dust. They are ready for use when
the plant dies down in the autumn,
though they may be easily carried
over the winter. and are prepared for
the table like potatoes or other vegeta-
bles or may be eaten raw like radishes.
On an average stachys has the follow
Ing percentage composition: 1875 per
cent water, 2.7 per cent protein, Oh

hydrates O.7 per cent being crude
fber) and IL per cent ash. Like the
other roots and tubers which have
been spoken of, the stachys is charac-
terized by a high water content, and
carbohydrates constitute the principal
nutrittve material. According to some
authorities, inulin is present in stachys
in place Of starch, while others state
that starch is replaced by a special
carbohydrate called stachyose. A di-
gestion experiment with stachys was
made some years ago in Japan, and It
was found that the carbohydrates
were about as thoroughly digested as
those Of potatoes, 95 per cent being re-
tanned by the body.-C. f. Langwor-
