EULOGY ON THE HORSE.

In an eloquent tribute to the horse
written by that active friend of ami
mails, Mr.. George Foster Howell Of
Brooklyn, New York, and published
in a recent issue of the Ledger-Dis-
patch, Norfolk, Virginia, occur these
pertinent paragraphs:
"On the battlefield the horse faces
the enemy as bravely as the most he
roic soldier that ever carried bay
onet land when shot and shell tear
and rend his powerful body he gives
up his life for man without whim-
per-he utters only the groan of the
dumb and speechless. 1t was he who
delighted the hearts of kings, princes
and potentates. He is the useful SER
vitor not only of royalty but of the
humblest human creature, be he peas
ant or even peddler.
Zone torment of the horses life is
the average thoughtlessly cruel boy
who drives the grocery wagon. The
youth no sooner jumps on the wagon
than the reins are given a hard,
sharp slap on the horses back and he
is kept going at high speed. When
he wants to stop he hauls up the lines
so suddenly and so violently as to al
most pull the animal down on its
launches. Many of these irresponsi-
BILE youths beat the horse with the
whip, and the welts thus made are
always silent witnesses of the boys
cruel nature, but the groceryman is
too busy to know or to care what
happens, to his horse, so long as he
can sell groceries and deliver the
goods.
"In dealing with the horse, let us
put ourselves in his place. Let us
practice the golden rule. Suppose
you were the horse and the horse the
man, how would you like the horse to
treat you? Answer that question
honestly and the whole problem of
justice and mercy to the horse and
to all other animals is instantly
solved satisfactorily."-[Our Dumb
Animals.

ONE OF OUR FOLLIES.

Killing something like 100000
calves a year is one of them. The
most of these are under three weeks
old. Hundreds of thousands of them
are under one week old. We have
contended against this wretched traf-
fic for years on the ground of the
sufferings endured by these helpless
little creatures in transit and at the
slaughter-houses. 1t looks at last as
though, on the ground of economy, to
conserve the meat supply of the
country the nation would some day
have sense enough to stop the shame
full waste. A bill has been Introduce
ed into Congress to prohibit the
slaughter of any calf under two years
of age. The New York Herald says,
editorially:
Residents of cities who complain Of
the high price of meats, a condition
that has existed since long before
the war, are not guiltless in the mat
ter. They insist on demanding veal
from their butchers, and in order to
supply this demand for succulent,
young meat, millions of calves.
weighing from 100 to $50 pounds
each, must be slaughtered. If these
animals were permitted to live two
years instead of a month or six
weeks, they would weigh from 1000
to 800 pounds and the shortage in
the national meat supply would be
less acute The conservation
of Young livestock, which means the
increase in the countrv's meat sup
ply and in the enrichment of the soil
that is called on to produce the grain
and vegetable supplies, is an econo-
mic necessity that shrieks its impor-
lance every time the price of meat
rises a fraction of a cent Our

JULY is TINE FOR TURNIPS.

Somewhere in FOUR garden book
put down suggestion to remember
the tuIpip.'
Toward the middle Of July is best,
although seeds can be sown before
then and, in many localities, later.
Sow them broadcast or in rows in
ground just spaded or with other
crops which are nearing maturity in
July.
Turnips need moist and cool wealth
er in spring, and usually get that
along toward fall when they are
making headwsy in the late garden,
or as succession crop.
Their liking for moisture make it
necessary to give them frequent cul-
tivation. Hoe every week or ten days
until fall.
When plants are well up thin them
to three or four inches apart.
In sowing them in rows. scatter
the seeds about three or four inches
apart in rows fifteen inches apart.
A half ounce of seed will plant 100
feet of row. Seeds should be cover
ed BY about half an inch of earth.
Turnips can stand in the garden
with parsnips and satisfy until freez-
ing weather sets in. Then they may
be stored in boxes or barrels in the
cellar between layers of dry earth or
sand. Some people store them in
pits dug in the garden, placing straw
below and above the turnips and then
covering the pile with earth, grad
ually increasing the earth cover as
colder weather comes along.
