OLD TIME LIVE STOCK
HOW IT WAS CARED FOR IN THE
EIGHTEENTH CENTURY.
Ignorant Local Le.ches Cared fol, Sick
cattIe-Exampies Of intelligence
Of the Pig.

Sir Walter Gilbey has brought to
gether number of interesting facts
concerning the live stock of the farm
Bleeding. the stock remedy for equine
ills of every kind, was practiced until
comparatively recent times. The Es-
sex farmers used to bleed their ami
mails regularly in spring and autumn
as late as the year 1885. and in some
districts 1t was continued until about
1850.
But veterinary surgery did not en-
brace the study of cattle and sheep
diseases at all. Treatment of sick
cattle was referred to the local "leech."
who, to quote a wr::er of the time.
knows as much of the diseases Of
animals as the beast to attend which
he is sent for" ~
Arthur Young, writing in 1870. reck-
oned the total of cattle in England at
over 100000, including $4,000
draught cattle. The fact that some A.
100000 cattle are now owned in Eng
land indicates the change i'm the scat-
tie breeding industry during hum
dred years. There are no reliable fig-
ures. Sir Walter says, to show what
the horse population was at that time.
Apart from coaching, every country
gentleman drove or rode in the good
old days. The farmer and commercial
traveller travelled on horseback or
drove a gig. Goods in out of the way
parts of England were still carried on
strings of pack horses. The importance
Of the latter as a means of transport
is shown by the old pack horse"
bridges still remaining over the
streams in various parts of England.
They are wide enough to- allow a
laden horse to pass. but too narrow
for carts.
Some curious examples are supplied
by Sir Walter Gilbey of the intelli-
gence of the pig One of the most
remarkable examples is furnished by
the famous pig pointer" black sow.
which two kings keepers in the new
forest trained in a fortnight to find
game, point and back almost as we'll
as pointer. The excellent scenting
powers of the pig are. as is well
known, utilized by French truffie find-
ers, who train young swine to find the
truff,es. buried as they are in few
inches below the soil. They were used
for this purpose in England also, Sir
Walter states; Lord Braybrooke kept
truffle hunting pigs some fifty years
ago.
Geese have gone somewhat out of
fashion in these days. but formerly
they were held to be the most profit
able kind Of poultry. They were raised
In vast numbers in the Lincolnshire
fens. Pennant says that single per-
son would Keep as many as a thou.
sand old birds, each OF which raising
seven goslings the owner at the years
end would find himself master of a
flock of 5000 birds In the great
tracks of fenland, before they were
drained, over a thousand persons
made their living out of geese The
profit of goose keeping lay in the
practice of plucking. The value of
the goose feathers was estimated ct
about a shilling head a year and
three-pence more for the quills at that
time in general demand for pens

Soap.


Were l a soap-maker," said a girl
in a red bathing suit, Il should give
away with every cake of soap a soap
dish like those at the Hotel Surf-a
soap-dish that doesn't drain.
The right kind of soap dish has a
perforated plate on which the soap is
laid. This plate drains of the water
into a bowl below. and the soap dries
at once. But the Surf hotel soap
dishes have no drain plates; in thenr
your soap lies always In little pool,
and. when You go to use 1t, about a
quarter inch of it comes off on your
hands in the shape of slime.
The world is full of these non.
draining soap dishes. | have tested
them. I have proved by actual test
that they waste so per cent. of tho
soap. Hence. were a soap-maker. I'd
give them away to my patrons.
The mustard maker. you know.
grows rich out of the mustard people
leave on the edge of their plates. BY
supplying all his patrons with nom
draining soap dishes, the -soap-maker
would at once have to double his
plant"

Many housekeepers of experience
still cling to the iron or the asbestos
rest for fiatirons. An ordinary brick
is far more satisfactory. as 1t is a nom
conductor Of heat, and an iron resting
on it does not cool off as quickly as
when on iron or other substance.

the author, had in mind in the days
of his youth when he tended sheep:
this memory was in his mind when
he used the illustration of the shep-
herd. Our shepherd is the Lord: lie
knows when and where to lead his
children; how to protect, comfort and
bless them. In times of adversely it
is natural for the human heart to
look to a higher power for comfort.
This has been the record of the ages.
The Christians God comforts and
helps and sustains as none other does.
The speaker in closing made STIR
ring appeal to his hearers to trust the
Lord wholly, for He will provide.
In the evening Mr.. Duel addressed
a good sized congregation. His first
Sunday in Sank Centre must have
been pleasant one for him, as the
Methodists gave him the glad hand
and warm greeting.

SAVING Float Gold.

A patent for process o: amalgama-
ton of feat gold has been taken out
in France. BY kind of capillary par
ticles of gold are not wetted in wash
ing and remain. in spite of their dens-
ity, on the surface or in suspension,
and they also resist the action of ner-
curry. To prevent this capillarity 1t Is
sufficient to add a caustic substance
to the water to clean the gold, such
as ammonia. lithia, potash and soda,
or salts of these alkalies. The gold
particles not wetted by pure water
are reached by alkaline liquids and
obey the law of gravity. The solution
has also favorable influence on the
bath of mercury, keeping the surface
clean.
