A Runaway Horse /.

n Runaway horse.
The runaway horse in story books, Of
in most OF the veracious and detailed
accounts given in the daily press, in
variably stakes the bit between his
teeth" as q preliminary measure. 1t
would be interesting to know how be
does this. He obviously cannot get it be-
tween his molar teeth tgrinders) unless
both his cheeks are slit up from the
corners Of his mouth, and il the check
straps be the right length it is equally
impossible for him to get it down to the
level of his incisors (nippers), and there
are no teeth in between! Thus perishes
another hoary- headed superstition!
What does happen is that, through
steady, unremitting tension on the reins,
the bars OF his mouth become numbed and
impervious to pain. This enables him to
set his jaw firmly, put the whole weight OF
his head on the bit and successfully resist
anything short Of one horsepower at the
other end Of the reins. This is the reason
why, when run away with, one should
never try to recover control by steady
pulling, but should always use short,
sharp pulls with intervals Of complete re-
Taxation between them.
Although it is always advisable to drive
q new horse, temporarily at least, with tbs
bit to which he has been accustomed, pro-
vided that he goes satisfactorily in it, it is
never safe to assume that it is
the best possible one for him. This
assumption, which is general, is re-
sponsible for much trouble that might be
obviated. It is surprising to note how
complete and radical change OF bit may
be made, not only with impunity, but
with advantage, il only the change be in
the right direction.

Alderman Hsgan called for ths report
OF the committee appointed st the last
regular meeting 70 look over the location
and investigate grades Of tho State road
work proposed ct KllswoFth Falls, work
on which has bssn held up because Of
friction In the board Of aldermen.
Alderman Moore made brief verbal re-
port a. to the grades, flls, etc., in the
course Of which be stated that the average
Nil was about three inches.
II was ON this point that Aid. Hagan
and Street. Commissions Hurley FLASHED
1t the last regular meeting, Mr.. Hurley
claiming the I'LL was much greater, and
calling Aid. Hagan . liar during the
meeting.
Following Aid. Moore's report, Aid.
Hagan moved that II be accepted. The
motion was seconded by Aid. Small, and
carried unanimously.
| Aid. Hagan then said: "Mr. Mayor, I
feel that am now Justified in calling
through you for an apology from Mr..
Hurley for his remarks at the last meet
| ing"
Mayor HAgsrthy refused to ask for Mr..
Hurley's apology, saying 1t was . per-
sonAl matter between the alderman and
the street commissioner. Aid. Hagan
thereupon accused the mayor Of neglect
Of his duty.
HANCOCK HALL CONTRACT.
Aid. HagAn called upon the mayor for
the agreement between the city and r. NJ
Campbell, janitor Of Hancock hall. a. to
the use OF the hall. He said there was nc
contract ON file, and no record of any
agreement on the city books. He wanted
to know why, when Mr.. Campbell Let the
hall to an outside company or . local at-
traction for es or p = night, be turned
over only e to the city. He supposed
this wes In accordance with the agree
ment, bat there was no agreement on file
and he did not think the aldermen had
approved any such terms. He said h
understood Mr.. Campbell claims he wal
to have the hall for " . night, heated
The hail, he said, could not be heated fol
that.
Mayor HaRerthy said two proposition
had been submitted, and he and Aid
Moore had taken the one they considered
best for the city, but be did not state tn
terms. He said the city would get NOR
out OF the hall than in previous years.
The meeting then adjourned.

PRODUCING Vegetable matter into the soil =
grow clover. All CROPS except clover,
peas, beans and tho like are ro5ber crops,
but these add fertility. Grow clover and
stop buying % much commercial fer
tiiisef; it's better and cheaper. Then
rotate your crops. Don't spread out too
much. A foRty-scrs farmer on . 2o0-acre

The speaker was continually piled with
questions, and these and his ready an
swers lent ssst to the nesting. He showed
the relation Of vegetable matter in the
soil to moisture. Soil being ground rock
will mot hold moisture; vegetable matter
hold It like sponge.

clover next year with the use OF lime.
oRcHARDrNa.
The rest Of the afternoon session was
taken up by Mr.. Van Alstyne, who spoke
on apple growing. There IL space here for
only few Of the many points he made.
Don't be afraid Of overstocking the
market; old orchards arc going out faster
than new ones are coming in. "rd rather
have ten acres Of apple-growing land in
Maine or New York than 100 acres of
other land In either state.'
"Don't try new varieties. Select the
kinds suited to the soil and climatic con-
ditions. Buy young trees direct from the
nurseries II you possibly can; tree mis-
sionaries are not reliable. Set out year
lings whom you can get them; don't let
any one make you think three year-old
tree 10 the best.
| Prune according to . trees needs; II it
is growing rank, don't prune in winter il
bearing heavily, prune in leaf. Cultivate
the orchard, but keep out oats and hay;
they take moisture from the trees Just
when they need it most.
Spray for purpose. The coddlinR moth
lays her eggs in the calyx when it is open,
and that Is when the apple should be
sprayed. Spray thoroughly; one thorough
spraying is better than half dozen poorly
| done.
A good spraying mixture is thirty
pounds Of arsenate OF lead to fifty gallons
OF water, and to this may be added one
gallon Of concentrated commercially lime
and sulphur to thirty gallons of water.
