And Girls of Ciarksburp the
Big Circus Day
is to Be.

Only two days more until the circus
opens! This will be the red letter day
Of all days for the small boys and
girls Of eiarksburg, as wen as most
Of the grown ups, also. The last two
sections bringing the majority Of per-
formers and most Of the menagerie
of Ringing Brothers circus arrived
here early this morning. and the VII
flage of Ringlingyille has now been
established on the show grounds. After
a day Of preparation elarEsburg Will
enjoy the privilege Of having the larg-
est circus IN America open its season
under canvas here. tgW
Since early Monday morning the
Juveniles of clarksburg have been
kept in a constant state Of. excitement
by the arrival OF the big show. AL
thyugh the first two sections Of the
circus crept into the city unheraided
in the early hours OF Monday morning
it did not take the average small boy
long to scent that something unusual
was in the wind, and as a result a
large and excited throhg OF youngsters
gathered in the railroad yards before
the unloading OF the circus had pro-
ceeded far. The same throng in
creased in proportion, then followed
the cavalcade to the show grounds
and watched the erection of the big
tents. II is rumored that as result
of the unusual events in clarksburg
during the present week the attend=.
ance at the public schools has dwind
led considerably.
Menagerie Arrives.
All week long the equipment and
employees OF. the circus have been ar
irving in the city on every train from
the West. The first two train sections,
which arrived Monday morning,
brought all the tentsGahd canvas par
aphernalla, as we'll as most Of the
horses from the winter quarters OF the
Ringing Brothers in Baraboo, Wise.
The third and fourth sections, bring
ing all the performers and the big
menagerie arrived early this morning
from Chicago. where the circus has
been showing to enormous crowds
during the last three weeks at the
coliseum. No alarm clocks we're
needed to get the small boy out of
bed this morning for the arrival of
the last two sections had been antic-
ipated and the youngsters were down
at the tracks before dawn waiting for
the first glimpse Of the circus per-
formers and the animals.
One OF the sections that arrived
Monday brought thss eommissary de-
partment, and Steward A, L. Webb
arrived on Tuesday to assume charge
of this most important adjunct of the
circus. AS a result long before the,
gas stoves had sbeens lighted in the
home kitchens Of eiarksburg this
morning there was a pleasant rumor
of coffee and ham and eggs coming
from the cook house tents on the
show grounds where splendid
breakfast awaited the arrival of the
host of tired and travel stained per-
formers. who arrived on the last cir
Gus train early today.

the Shore and had 1t been good holding grouhd
it might have been possible to anchor. but as we
were right In front OF the Willie glacier, which
comes down TO the sea, 1t was doubtful what the
bottom would be like, and in any case 1t would
have been unwise for us to do SO.
The cliffs this coast very precipitous,
and could 1 have landed, it would only have
been possible to walk about half a mile along
the narrow strip of beach. AS 1t was, we found
as we approac ched 1t in the dinghey that there
was too much surf to allow of our attempting 1t,
and l had to content myself with rowing along
within few yards of the shore Floating Ice
stopped us in direction. and heavy surf In
the other. Numbers of glaucous gulls were Sit
ting above highwater mark and of course were
very tame. Hundreds of Brunnieh's guillemots
and fulmars flew around us. and black
guillemot, probably U. mandti. Not until fired
my gun had l any idea, of the number OF birds

nature of the SOIL and the fact that the lava
slopes are less precipitous than the granite cliffs
where seafowl generally congregate. the usual
evidences of great breeding resort were absent.
The glaciers not fine there as in Spitz
bergen, as they are covered with lava dust and
the wonderful blue Ice, which is characteristic
of that country. Is absent. Neither the tops
of the mountains Jagged and cannot agree
with Scoresby that 1t reminded me in any way of
Spitzbergen AS 1t inadvisGble to go down

coast, leaving the Willie glacier at 1:40 p.

out the wind we should have had fog. Already II

"How to Feed Your Horse"

Over one-half of the diseases which
horses are subject to are caused by
wrong feeding. Correct feeding is
really such simple matter that there
is no reason why every horse should
not be fed properly. Violation of
one of few simple rules spells death
to thousands of horses every year
1t will pay every horse owner to learn
into practice. Here they are:
"Horse Feeding Rules"
1. Do not feed too much or too lit
tie. Feed just enough to hold the ami
mails weight while doing his work
properly. For 1,00O-pound horse on
full work normal ration is 10 pounds
of timothy or mixed hay and 12
pounds of oats day.
2. Feed three times a day and at
the same time each day. Regularity
keeps the horse from fretting and
aids digestion
8. Do not feed grain or water when
too warm and tired. Wait half an
hour, feeding little hay. When a
horse Is too warm for water he is too
warm for grain.
=. WdltE DclOIo leeulnSy except u
little hay while cooling of. II you wa
ter after feeding the horse drinks too
much and 1t chills the stomach and
interferes with digestion. Give all
the water he wants, but at the proper
time. Even a very warm horse may
have dozen swallows il he Is kept
travelling for while afterward Wa.
ter too dirty or stale for you to drink
s,.e1 is too dirty nn1y for yosr horse Give clean
s. Feed hay or other roughage be-
fore the grain. The horse eats it
slower and it aids digestion by sep
arating the grain Instead of it's form
ing q compact mass which the stom-
ach juices cannot work on well.
G. Never use moldy or damaged
feed. 1t is cheaper In price but much
dearer in the long run because 1t
often causes, collie and acute or
chronic indigestion.
Z. Dusty hay or grain must be
moistened or 1t will cause wind trou-
bles and aggravate eye infections.
Dust Is frequent cause of heaves.
s. Make changes in the ration very
gradually or your horse will go on

where other sources Of Protein grown

connection with middlings made into

middlings to one part tankage and use

Of the hogs. The hogs also have the

startinu a RIackberry Patch.

New paintings of blackberries
should be made just as soon as the
ground Is free from frost and dry
enough to work with. Plant the cut
tings In rows. three feet apart in the
row, and have the rows from six to
eight feet apart. Remember that
blackberries multiply and form solid
row of canes in comparatively short
time, hence do not plant too thickly
Blackberries will grow in almost
any soil, but it must not be too dry
location. as they require good deal
of water or the fruit will be dry and
pithy.
They seem to do better in mod
erately good soil than in very rich
one. as excessive feeding produces
stalks and leaves instead of fruit.
The seed bed should be well pre-
pared and leveled before putting in
the cuttings. In setting. be sure to
get the earth Arm about the cuttings,
and water occasionally during the
first month.
Blackberries will need some cultiva
ton, particularly during the first
year. A good plan is to grow low
garden crops between the rows and
give them ordinary vegetable cultiva'
ton. This Will make the ground yield
two crops for one cultivation.
Do not allow the berry rows to
spread more than two feet wide. They
will form a solid mass unless kept
down between the rows.
Prune In the fall or winter by re,
moving all of the old stalks, cutting
them off at the ground. Cut back the
new wood a half with the pruning
shears. This causes the formation OF
fruit buds instead of wood and leaves
There are rather large number OF
good varieties to select from and your
scotsman will be glad to advise you
regarding which to plant. Early bear
ing varieties like Early Harvest and
Snyder do excellently In northern lat.
itudes as well as in the south. Ell
dorado Is an old standby with small
fruit farmers and 1t is not subject to
the parasitic disease known as black
berry cane rust. This disease is hard
to overcome and the best cure is to
cut out all infected canes as soon as
the rusty spots are noticed.
Blackberries are hardy and bear
every year. The fruit is delicious
either preserved or fresh. and 1t can
be made into excellent wine or cor.

During my visits I never saw more than a dozen

Arabian honey. which is frequently
mentioned by historians as an i'm

times, is no longer an item in the ex-
port trade. Small quantities, how
ever, continue to come from Mokalla,
400 miles east of Alden. and 1t Ia also
exported from that place to India in
small quantities. The decline In the
honey and wax industry has been
