Humane Treatment of Horses.
Cruelty or Carelessness is Expensive.
It pays to treat tarm animals kindly.
The steers or hogs dogged around,
kicked, and abused generally, do not
fatten eo well as those humanely treat-
ed ; and the maltreated cow does not
give so much milk as the one kindly
treated and petted. No farm animal
gives a greater or more substantial re-
turn for kindness than the horse. The
abused horee is never safe.
his constant companion, and he may
kick or run away atany time. He
wears much faster than the animal not
kept at a high nervous tension. And
es and eores directly reduce his ca-
pacity for work.
Farm animale are treated much
more humanely now than they were
fifty years ago. but there is yet much
room for improvement. Almost every
day I see horses working with galled
shoulders or sore backs or sides. These
sores make the animal suffer and re-
duce his capacity for work. In nine-
teen cases out of twenty they would be
prevented by a little, very little, intelli-
gent care. Such care is profitable in
dollars and cents, not to speak ot the
higher motive for its exercige.
Sometimes galls are the result of ig-
norance, not indifference. Two hours
ago | saw passing a horse with a very
core shoulder. I know his owner and
driver well—not a cruel man, but un-
intelligent, having a very poor ‘“‘think-
er.” 1 called to him and asked him
why he drovea horse with such a
shoulder. He said he had to use the
horse, and had done all he could to get
. the shoulder well, and he called my at-
tention to the grease he had put on the
sore and to the pad—and the pad was
placed right on the sore! When I in-
quired why the pad was so placed
(where it aggravated the evil), [ was
told that it was eoft and ought to make
the pressure on the sore spot easier. It
had not occurred to the driver that the
pad so placed really increased the pres-
sure on that spot. In ten minutes there
was a good pad justabove the sore and
another just below it, and none over
it; and my friend bad eome instruc-
tions about curing galls, which I will
repeat.
But, first. about a good pad. Ii is
not & very thick one—usually half an
inch in thickness when the animal is
pulling is better than more—but a
broad pad ; and itis never stuffed with
cotton or wool, which forms into hard
lumps in a short time, but with fine
timothy hay, which does not form in-
to hard fusgpe and which does not loge
its elasticity™, A hay pad springs the
collar forward“as soon as the draught
is removed, resticg and cooling the
shoulder. The best pad is made of an
old trousers leg, wrapped around the
collar, and held in place by the hames.
Of course there should be very little
hay under the hames.and between the
eollar and the neck of the horse.
As for those instructions, the first is
don't. Don’t put grease of any kind
on a gall. [It softens the hide, increas-
ing the probability of its being broken
and worn off; and if the flesh is ex-
pesed, greage keeps it tender and more
sengitive while not aiding so much as
some other things in healing: The
best preventive ot galls, after properly
fitting collars, is strong salt water, used
ag a bath on the shoulders each even-
i 8 use should be begun four
‘weeks before the animals are put in
the plow in the epring. I wrapa
cloth around one end of a corncob, on
which a string will hold it securely in
place, on account of the cob being
rough. A handful of salt ie thrown in
a fruit can kept for the purpose, the
cau ic nearly filled with water, stirred
with the cob till the salt is dissolved,
and then the bath is applied with the
cob and cloth. This salt-water bath is
also the best cure for galls of which I
know. It reduces inflammation and
swelling very rapidly. It the ekin is
broken, wait till a dry film is formed
over the exposed flesh (which will soon
form when the pressure of the collar is
removed) before applying the bath.
Sometimes, but very rarely, a gall
turns itd a hard tumor that only the
kuife can cure ; but the knife should
always be used by a competent veterin-
arian. The useof the knife on farm
animals is almost a passion with some
people, and thie inclination cannot be
too strongly condemned. Its gratitica-
tion is nearly always unnecessary, not
intrequently is very barmful, and is
always very painful.
sharp knife blade into & gall.
relic of barbarism.
The best preventive of galls is well-
fitted harness. Harness should never
be bought when the animal is not at
hand to be well fitted. This is true of
all parts of the harness, and particular-
ly of the collar. There is a great varie-
ty in horses’ shoulders as there is in
men’s noses, and because a collar fits
one horse is no reaton why it should
fit another. Before a collar is pur-
chased every part of its face should be
carefully preseed, that if there are
hard lumps in the collar, or if it is
harder in places than others, it may be
rejected. Very many collars are poor-
ly etuffed—one side is harder than the
other, or some spots are harder than
others. Such a collar will never be
eatisfactory to the man having a wise
regard for the comfort and usefulness
of his horsee. One can fit a collar
eomewhat to a shoulder by cutting a
slit along the groove in which the
hames fit, pulling out some of the stuf-
fing, and pounding down the face of
the collar with a stick of wood having
no sharp corners. A &lit should never
be cut in the face of the collar.
A sore on the top of the neck may
develop into a very eerious thing.
Nearly always it is caused by one oi
two things—lack of the proper flap of
stiff leather under the strape, or im-
proper hitching, which mrkes a heavy
weight on the horses’ necks. This last
It iva
Fear is §
Don’t stick a’
is to be avoided for the additional rea-
son that it adds much to the fatigue of |
the team. Farm machinery ie now eo
constructed that there will be very
little weight on the horses’ neck, if
they are properly hitched. If the
tongue does not play up and down in
the neck yoke ring, one should make
an investigation. Home-made imple-
ments, particularly rollers and drag, :
dre frequently so constructed that there
is so much weight on the horses’
necks that their labor is increased one-
half. Sometimes only the reconstrue-
tion of the implement will remedy this,
and sometimes placing the whiffletrees
undernesth instead of on top of the
tongue, will make the end of the tongue
balance as it should.
To have the tugs shave the sides of
the animal is galling to nervous horses,
and can be avoided by using longer
whiffletrees. Stiff, hard barness adds
not a little to the fatigue of the animal
—how much one can get an idea of
when he considers how it tires him to
wear new stiff shoes in plowing. Oil
will make the harness soft and pliable,
and at the same time will lengthe its
life, I cannottake space to men ‘on
other ways in which we may t .at
horses more humanely and kindly, jut
they can easily be found by the honest,
intelligent seeker ; and it is true that
it is profitable to the purse, as it should
be comforting to the mind, to treat all
farm animals with regard to their com.

Wages of all Increased.
BripceporT, Conn., July 17.—Late
Monday afternoon General Manager
Blanchard of the Rubber trust visited
the plant in Newtown and had a notice
posted that beginning yesterday the
wages of all the employes would be jn-
creased an amount equal to one-half
the reduction of 1893. The company
pledges itself to a full restoration of
wages on the old scale as soon as busi-
ness warrants it. This move of the
general manager is believed to have
been made in anticipation of 8 demand
for the restoration of the old rates en-
tire. A petition to that effect was then
being circulated among the workmen,
A maes meeting was held in Costello’s
opera house Monday night, and the
standing grievance committee of the
employes was instructed to demand the
old scale of wages.

Holmes to Be Tried in Philadelpdia for the
Murer of Pietzel. !
— — 1
PHILADELPHIA, July 17.—Tois af
ternoon District Attorney Graham
eaid there was little chance of Holmes
being taken to Toronto to be tried for
the murder of the Pietzel girls. He |
has found evidence, he said, which :
leads to the conclusion that the body
found in the Callowhill street house,
this city, was Pietzel’s, and he is now
preparing to try Holmes here on the
charge of murdering Pietzel.
Dectective Grier, who unearthed the
bodies of the Pietzel girls in Toronto,
is in almost hourly commuuication
with the district attorney. Late this
afternoon District Attorney Grabam
received a telegram from him, dated
Toronto, which said : “I am goicg to
Detroit to look for Howard Pieizel.”
Holmes is believed to bave murdered
Howard in that city, and Grier is go-
ing there to endeavor to discover the
body.
Preparing for the Big Fight.
Darras, Tex., July 16.—The ad-
verse opinion of Attorney General
Crane to the legality of the Corbett
Fitzsimmons contest created no sur
prise at the fight headquarters. It
will be claimed that the license law re-
quiring the payment of $500 has never
been repealed. Manager Dan Stuart
is going ahead with his preparations
for the fight. To-day the contract for
the erection of the great Texas Col-
liseum will be let to the lowest respon-
sible bidder, and in a few days the
ground will be staked and operations
begun.

—The Midsummer Holiday number of
The Century, the issue for August, will have an
article appropriate to the vacation season
“Fox-Hunting in Kentucky,” written by John
Fox, Jr. Mr. Fox is a member of a well-known
Blue-Grass family, and has written several
romances of the Kentucky mountains. He
not only describes the sport as practiced in his
native State, but does so with many touches
of character which will be recognized in that
region for their local truthfulness. Although
fox-hunting had been indulged in for many
years, it was somewhere about 1855, says Mr.
Fox, that the hunters diseovered that their
hounds were chasing scmething they could
not catch. A little later a mule-driver came
hrough Cumberland Gap with a young hound
that he called “Lead.” Old General Maupin
bought the dog, and in the first chase he left
the pack behind and caught the quarry. The
dog was probably stolen, and his pedigree
could not be traced, but since then every fox.
hound in the State worthy of the name goes
back to Lead, and his fame is scarcely less
than that of the great sires of the Blue-Grass
trotters.
—*“Chautauqua: Its Aims and Influence”
is the title of an exhaustive article by. Pro-
fessor Albert S. Cook, of Yale University, in
the August number of Forum. He describes
the Chautauqua system of education, explains
its aims, and telis of the far-reaching influ-
ence it is exerting, not only in the United
States, but throughout the world.
