HORSES AS THEY SLEEP.
They Rarely Lie Down, and Their Eyes
Are Ever on the Alert.

Are Ever on the Alert.
All horses, when turned out in
pasture, are more prone to take
their rest lying down than when
confined in stable stalls, but even
when virtually free from human
restraint and observation or any
likelihood of danger they seldom
take more than an hour each night
in the recumbent position, and that
period is generally INDUCED in at
about midnight.
A noted veterinarian says: "There
are some curious facts regarding the
disposition of horses in the matter
of lying down. To hard working
horse repose is almost as much of a
necessity as good food and water,
but tired as he may be, he is an
animal very shy about lying down.
I have known instances where sta
blemen declared that the horses in
their charge had never been known
to take rest in that manner, but al
ways slept standing. In some Of
these instances the animals were
constantly under human watchful-
ness night and day, and in other
cases the conclusions were arrived
at because no. marks of the bedding
were ever found upon their coats.
now recall an instance of horse
that stood in a stall near the en-
trance of livery stable. No one
ever saw that animal lying down
within a period of fifteen years,
and he finally died standing"
1t is theory-only vague sup
position--that horse sleeps stand
ing because he fears that insects or
mice may creep up his nostrils. 1t
is also known that the elephant has
the same horror of mice and that
small rodent can cause more con-
sternation among a herd Of those
colossal animals than can tiger or
boa constructor. A mouse in the
hay at circus will cause every ele-
phant in the collection to hold his
trunk aloft, plainly indicating that
they fear the little creature may
take refuge in the proboscis ori6ce.
But to return to horses. 1t has
always been said that they "sleep
with one eye open" and are con-
stantly on guard. An Indian shod
in cotton felt moccasins, practicing
all the sly arts of his people, could
not, with the wind in his favor, ap-
proach sleeping horse without be-
ing detected. No matter how weary
a horse may be, his ears are con-
stantly turning and twisting, so that
their tunnels may catch the slight
est unusual noises.-Inland Farmer.

Flies In "FIy Time"

DR.. F. A. McDermoth has OBJ
served the oddities in the behavior
of housefies. They have a strong
tendency to 60 with air currents
between so and 100 degrees. This
explains why flies are so bad in hot
weather when it is about to rain.
The heat usually ranges upward to-
ward 100, and the air travels along
too slowly to cause the vapor in it
to evaporate. The heat, humidity
and slow movement of the air give
the housefy its "hy time" As
pests, they are then in their glory.

In nearly all our condiments we

a fiery volatile oil, capable of burn

history.
