CARE OF WORK HORSES.

Dumb Animals.
Wise people never abuse their
means of livelihood; the skilled me
chanic knows that he is dependent
upon his two hands for living and
for this reason he keeps himself in
prime condition. This same principle
of conserving ones capital exists In
all departments of life. 1t was the
foolish miser who killed the goose that
laid the golden eggs.
Two teams were working on a bridge
construction job in the country. One
was comped of two magnificent
black horses owned by the colored
tcamster that drove them. They were
well-bred animals, half again as large
as ordinary work horses, and were
always kept In the finest condition.
Their black coats were always polish
ed and glistening, and both animals
had names reaching nearly TO their
knees.
The other team consisted of two
mules, ordinary. long-eared mules.
| They were good-sized animals and
had once been first-cass team. But

and driven by hired teamsier.

Denver Post.
Western railroads. led by the Rock

systems of every dishonest railroad
man employed in train or yard service,

CARING FOR CABBAGE PLANT,
Experiments at Wisconsin Agricultural
Station Find Tarred Paper
Disks Valuable Aid.

Tarred paper disks placed around
cabbage plants will prevent the CAD
bage maggot flies from laying their
eggs at the base of the stem OF the
plant. Experiments have shown that
the odor of the tar has repellent
effect on the insects.
1t is important that the disks pc
applied before the eggs are laid, other
wise they are ineffective. Plants which
have become badly injured by the
maggot should be destroyed. Those
slightly damaged should be treated
with carbon disulphide and we'll ferti-
lized to promote growth and vigor.
The disks may be made in the fol,
lowing manner:
The disks are hexagonal in shape
and four inches across, and should be
cut from roll of single-ply tarred
felt or paper. Place the paper on
table and unroll upon smooth board
as needed. Make hexagonal form
of wood one-quarter inch thick, with
tack through the center to prevent
the form from slipping and to MARI
the center of each disk. The form be
