At late hour Wednesday night the
bishop and his cabinet held meeting
in the bishops rooms. The cabinet
meetings are secret and nothing definite
is known until appointments are read,
which will be the last business trans
acted.
1t is very evident, however, that a
good many changes are going to be
made. The bishop offered a very
earnest prayer at the church,
asking that Divine guidance be given
in all the deliberations of this body.
Great responsibility rests upon the
bishop and his cabinet in making the
and Divine wisdom is
implored that the best be done for the
cause of Christ. Each mans name is
called and his qualifications discussed,
and as the cabinet members know the
ability of their men and the conditions
of every pastoral charge. very few
mistakes are ever made in the assign
ments. Much credit is due the faith
ful officials who labor night and day
for the interest of all concerned. The
various boards held busy sessions late
Wednesday, and reports evidenced a
year of usual progress along all lines.

EXAMINING THE HORSE FOR
SOUNDNESS.

By Prof Charles Gresswell M. K.
g., V. S. L., San Francisco Veterinary
College.
If possible, see the horse in the
stable before owner has chance to
''warm him up.
In the stable look for evidence of
"crib biting" 'windsucking" and
night kicking" Watch the animal
for signs of "weaving. Notice the
character of the eXcreta, to see ii the
grain is properly masticated, If there
are any worms or bots, or for signs of
urinary sediment, etc. Notice If
there are any extra appliances in use
for handling the animal - throat
straps, or hobbies, etc.-or, ii the
animal for any reason is stabbed
alone, away from other horses, ex-
anime the manger to see if the food
is all cleaned up, or if there are evil
dence of his eating the bedding
Look around the stable for proofs of
medical treatment
Then have the horse bridled or
brought to the stable door with the
halter on. Notice il there is any
trouble during this attention. Have
the horse brought quietly to the door,
allowing no bustling or excitement.
At the stable examine the eyes care
fully, using black hat to cast the
proper shadow over the eye, Look
for any difference in the convexity
of both eyes; examine the cornea for
opacity or cloudiness, and the lens
for cataract; notice the contraction
of the pupils to determine the effect
of the light. Examine the eyes and
the breath for signs Of opiates or
other drugs. Listen to the heart
At this time give the horse drink
of water, and watch the process OF
drinking and swallowing. Have the
horse then taken out Of the stable
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-08-15

soft and hard ground, and also, il
possible, on uneven ground. Have
this repeated until you are quite
satisfied there is no lameness or i'm
perfect action such as stringout, etc.
Back the horse, turn him sharply
around to. the lett and quickly back
again to the right, in order to de-
term1ne any chronic disease of spine
or nervous system.
The next thing will be to have the
hon Sc saddled or harnessed or put to
drawing heavy loads, depending upon
the character OF the horse and the
business for which he is intended.
Examine under these conditions for
action and lameness. The next in
order is to examine carefully for
wind, by galloping or driving hard
up hill or by putting the animal to
drawing a heavy load. In case of
young, unbroken horse, have him
lunged by hand.
Examine for whistling, roaring
broken wind.
Before doing this it is we'll to cause
the animal to cough and make pre-
tense of striking the animal with
stick, in order to bring out the
characteristics grunt of roaring or
the wheeze of broken wind.

FOOD OF OUR MORE IMPORTANT
FLYCATCHERS.

In bulletin recently issued by the
department of agriculture, a phase
of the work of the bureau of biologi-
cal survey, as developed under Secre-
tary Wilson, is brought prominently
to the attention of those interested in
the economic value of birds. In this
bulletin, which is No. A of the bio
logical survey series, the traits OF the
family commonly known as fiycatchers
are shown and the results Of study
OF the food of the birds given to the
public. The contents of 1898 stomachs
are reported upon, showing an aver

NAL food consisting Of insects, almost
exclusively of harmful species. At
tention is also called to the fact that
the fly catchers as rule attack large
predaceous birds and are thus pro-
lection for the poultry yard against
such winged enemies as hawks and
crows. Of the seventeen species re-
ported upon, the habits of each are
briefly described and the insects
preyed upon, as revealed by the
stomach contents, are listed.
