TREATING HORSE C0RNS.

Preventive and Curative Measures
Recommended by an Authority.
There is small understanding with
the average horse owner Of the suffer
ing some animals go through on &C.
count of corns. The torture is acute,
and the services Of the animals are
often lost to the owner without leav-
ing knowledge Of the cause. Dr. A. A.
Holcombe, inspector Of the United
States bureau Of animal husbandry,
says Of treating horse corns:
LAS in all other troubles, the cause
must be discovered if possible and re-
moved In great majority Of cases
the shoeiny will be at fault. For a
sound foot. perfectly formed, a fiat
shoe with heels less thick than the tee
and which rests evenly Oh the wall
proper Is the best. In fiat feet 1t is
often necessary to concave the feet us
much as possible on the upper surface
so that the sole may not be pressed
upon. Ii the heels are very low the
heels of the shoe may he made much
thicker.
IF the foot is very broad and the
wall light toward the heels far shoe,
resting upon the walls. may aid to pre-
vent excessive tension upon the soft
tissues when the foot receives the
weight OF the body. A piece Of leather
placed between the foot and shoe
serves largely to destroy conclusion,
and its use is absolutely necessary on
some animals to enable them to work.
Among the preventive measures may
be mentioned those which serve to
maintain the suppleness of the hoof.
The dead horn upon the surface Of the
sole not only retains moisture for a
long time, but protects the living horn

THE SLAUGHTER OF THE ROBINS

There Is not northern state but has
laws for the protection Of useful birds,
chief among which Is the robin, for
which a remarkably strong attachment
has been formed as one Of springs first
harblngers and as the best bird friend
Of the farmer, orchardist and gardener.
Until lately the redhreast has met an
entirely different reception during his
winter sojourn In the south, where he
has been priced chiefly as tender
morsel for stew or pie and where
myriads OF the pretty fellows have
been killed annually. Northern readers
will be interested in learning that In
central Tennessee are large tracts OF
cedar, the berries Of which are highly
priced by the robins as a winter food.
one small town in this district has
sent to market annually 10000 birds,
which netted $500, or paltry pittance
of 3 cents per dozen. They are caught
at night in their roosting places In the
young cedars whittier their inhuman
butchers proceed with torches and

the trees and kill them as they fly In.
An officer Of the Louisiana Audubon
society is authority for the statement
that previous to last winter. when a
law was passed for the protection Of
the robins. the annual slaughter Of this
bird in that state ranged from quar-
ter of million to Il million. In ether
states and sections Of the south score
OF 300 robins II day for single pot
hunter has not been an uncommon
thing. In view Of data Of the above
character it would seem that Secretary
Wilson of the department of agricul-
ture might bring to the attention Of
congress most emphatiraliy the practi.
cal necessity of protecting the robin as
au Interstate bid, and this froll the
dollars and cents standpoint and hot
from the aesthetic or humanitarian.
Every robin that is killed means Il loss
In money t. the farmer and gardener.
and this fact should be given more
general recognition.

the ground. These are the flowers
which produce the seeds for the next
season. The flowers on long stems
blooming in spring are only for show
the hidden flowers are for use. and the
number of seeds they bear may be
judged from the ease with which q

CITY WILL CONTROL
CEMETERY PROPERTY
No Burials Will Be Permitted Within
the Grounds on Permit of
County Official.

There will be no more burials at
Tahoma cemetery under certificates of
death issued by the county health Of
f1cer. The cemetery is city property
and is to be managed as such. In
structions have been issued to under
takers of this city and to the sexton at
the cemetery that heneeforth all bur-
ials at the cemetery shall be under
city certificate only. If such a certi-
flcate is not presented there is to be no
interment. These are orders from the
city authorities, and will be enforced.
Recently a very awkward situation
was created when the legality of an
interment of a county case was ques-
toned by the county health officer
who had not been asked for a certif-
cate of death. Later, after the family
of the person thus inferred had been
forced into a most uncomfortable po-
sition it developed that the burial was
regular, the city health officer having
granted the necessary certificate. The
result of the investigation was to call
attention to the fact that the city con-
trolls the cemetery and this led to the
orders above referred to.
