Through urrvoni fripht borne" pomo
timefi become panic stricken and abso
lutely tmoontrolJaMe. Tbey raffcr al
orcasicnally from what, for want of a
better name, may be called "nervous
paralysis." when tbey seem to be phys
ically incapable of motion. This con
dition is almost invariably the result of
brutal treatment, and the only reason
able explanation of It is that the first
emotion aroused in the horse by punish
ment is fear; that when he finds that
4ie cannot escape anger and a spirit of
resistance are mingled with his fright,
and that these combined emotions pro
duce this morbid Ftate.
Tbe horse is quick to take advantage
cf the ignorance or the fear of those
who control him. As coin pan 1 with
the dop, he is poniewhat slow of com
prehension, but he differs from the dog
in this also that be seldom becomes
"too old to learn new tricks," and his
meiwty is so retentive that he never
forgets what be has once thoroughly
learned.
It may also be Bet down as a rul,
with but few exceptions, that he intends
to do just right If he err, it is from
ignorance, pain cr fright, rarely from
FtubboruneFS or vice. This eeems to be
generally unknown or at least disre
garded, for of all animals the horse is
the least underwood, the most harshly
judged and unjustly treated, and for the
least infraction of discipline he is too
c.ft-n brutally punished. If men who
train horses would control their tem
pers and endeavor to ascertain the cauce
of the animal's misbehavior, tbey would
find that there is often a good excuse for
his actions.
Tbe eye is tbe best Index to tbe ani
mal's feelings. Tbe oars are very ex
pressive, but they do Dot reveal so
plainly the emotions that are dominat
ing him as the eye does. Therefore
Ftudy the eye with its varying expres
sions, and when you can read its mean
ing you held tle key to one cf tic chief
secrets cf Bucassful horse training.
Tbe horse should t-e convinced that
resistance is useless, tut do not be im
patient or harsh. Kemember that snc-o-ss
is the reward of uawearied pa
tience. If you fail at first, keep trying
until you succeed. Do net be discour
aged if you do net seem to make much
progress. Your task may take weeks cr
even months, but if you persevere you
will triunijth.
While it is true that with some bcrses
tbe whip must be occasionally used, it
should be tbe very last resort, and re
member always that one, cr at most
two, cuts and a few sternly spoken
words are more efficacious than an
hour's punishment. There is no more
vicious or false idea than that a horse is
benefited by a "sound thrasLing." On
the contrary, it is the very worst thing
you can do, because the horse's recol lec
tion cf the pain and the fright occa
sioned by it is more vivid and enduring
than his remembrance of why it was
administered, and at your next leeson
be is- nervous and afraid and at the least
note of anjger in your voice (fur horses
jndge tbe mood of the trainer by his
manner and Lis tone of voice) be may
become almost uncontrollable in Lis ef
forts to escape tbe expected flagellation.
It is a safe rule for miy one having a
hasty temper not to have a whip at
hand. The temptation to use it may be
too great. And it is also wise not to at
tempt to teach him when you are iu a
bad humor, for if he does not do just
right you will probably vent some of it
on him.
When whipping is used only as a last
rvsort, tbe necessity for it seldom arises.
As tbe horse makes progress in hid edu
cation he understands better what is re
quired cf him and transgresses less fre
quently, and nearly always a sound rat
ing when he knows that he is misbe
having is sufficient Smetiines wheu
this is disregarded a slap with the open
hand will cause instant obedience.
There are two forms of punishment,
or rather brutality, that are inexcusa
ble under any circumstances these are
striking a horse over tbe head, no mat
ter how light the blow, and kicking
him and aside from their inhumanity
there is great danger of permanently in
juring liim. Whenever during a lesson
a colt or young horse becomes heated
and angry, cease at once, and if you
have been impatient and abused him
keep away from him and do not ap
proach Li in until he has forgotten the
occurrence.
Be soothing and gentle in your man
ner and your tone of voice. Win Lis
confidence, and you will never regret it,
for then in the hour of danger your
voice and tbe touch of your hand reas
sure him, and he will face imminent
peril if only you are near.
la conclusion never forget that the
triumph of the trainer's art is in will
ing and cheerful obedience from a de
sire to please, and because long custom
has made it a habit, not because the
horse ft ars to disobey through dread of
Jicaisbuient Our Animal Friends.

That some such connection dors exist
seems intrinsically probable, but tho
modern meteorologist. Laming wisdein
of the past, is extremely cautious about
ascribing casnnl effects to astronomical
phenomena. He finds it hard to forget
that until recently all manner of cli

phases of tbe moon; that not so very
long ago showers of falling stars were
considered " prognostic" of certain,
kinds cf weather, and that the "equi

verity by every one until the unfeeling
hand of statistics banished it from the

Turning a Nftirp Into a Positive.
A short time ago a developed plato
was sent to the editor by one of the
members of the Camera club on which
tho iirago was partly reversed that is,
iiictead of btiug a negative it was al
most a positive. The cause of this Is
what is termed eolarization iu other
woids, tho plato was very much over
txpesod, und on develupment came out
a positive inst ad of a negative. If a
plato coated with silver salts is exposed
' iu tho can;ra or under a negative be
yond n cextain time, a change takes
j 1: co iu the silver salts, which results
in a pc-sitivc instead of a negative. This
is tho reason wby objects which reflct
light strongly show clear glass in the
urctivc. They are overexposed, and
the image produced is a positive.
Theru ere eevcrul processes by which
a ntgativo may bo turned into a posi
tive durir.g tho process of development
One rf the simplest is as follows: Ex
pose tLo plate as for an ordinary nega
tive a:;d develop until tbe im:ige may
b seen distinctly on the Lack of the
plate. Kin off the developer, and place
the plate in a eolution made up of a
.quarter ounce of iodide of potassium,
2'g ounces of bromide of potassium and
25 ounces cf water. Let it remain in
this solution from three to five minutes,
wash well in running water, and then
redevelop the plate with fresh develop
er, continuing the opt rat ion till tiie
negative image has tnriied to a positive.
Rinse the plate, fix and wash in the
same way as .for an ordinary negative.
I"yro or fVrrous oxalate gives the best
results, Lut atiy developer may be used.

Faim Topics of the Season.
From the riiilndelplila Kecord.
Late cabbage will be retarded by the
warm weather and lack of rain. Cal
bage requires frequent cultivation, and
under favorable conditions will pay as
well as any crop that can be grown.
If a drought prevail the plants may
grow but little during that time, and
then crack cien if a good rain comes;
even if the heads arc small and have
burst ojien the cablmge will be no loss.
The unsaleable heads are serviceable in
many ways on the farm if stored away
for winter.' " There is nothing better
for poultry when eggs are high, as the
cabbages supply bulky material that la
highly relished by all classes of poe
try, and they can thus be converted in
to eggs and sold in that form with pro
fit It is not yet too late, however, to
secure good heds. If the cabbages do
not crack open they will continue to
grow until frost sets in and will make
growth until the ground becomes quite
cold. Keep the plot clean and the soil
loose and the crop may fulfill expecta
tions. Blue grass is regarded as one of tbe
best for lawns, and one who bas had
success with it suggests that after seed
ing the lawn with blue grass, which
may be done in August and September,
the lawn should be mulched with the
refuse of hay mows that contained
blue grass bay and seeds, especially if
the hay matured 6eods before it was
stored.
In this section tne late varieties of
strawberries bring good prices, and
the Gandy is considered an excellent
kind for a late crop. Now, there is a
way to make them later, which can be
done by mulching the vine's after win
ter set in and not remove the mulch
until the plants begin to grow in the
spring that is, by the use of the
mulch the ground is kept cold and the
plants retarded in growth, which
brings them into bearing later. As a
difference in market, the matter of
keeping back the crop is very import
ant, as frequently prices w ill double In
that short period of time. The cost of
mulching will be but little, and if tbe
prices increase but a few cent it w ill
lie more than regained.
During very warm weather cows
will sutler severely from the attacks of
insects and w ill consequently be l'able
to lessen the yield of milk. This diffi
culty is one thai, has caused much anx
iety to farmers, as it is tedious and
laborious to attempt to prevent the an
noyance by the application of reme
dies. Cows are unable to utilize the
pasture to advantage under such cir
cumstances, and they are also deprived
of rest An open shed, protected by
mosquito netting, w ill serve as a re
treat, and will not be very expensive
compared w ith the advantages derived.
Should the weather liecome cooler, and
the barn is protected at the door and
windows with netting, the cows will
Ik comfortable at night and rest quiet
ly. If deprived of rest during both
day and night it will result in a heavy
loss of milk.
The lawn mower should not be used
during the present extremely warm
weather unless the lawn can be well
supplied with water, as the frequent
mowing of the grass in a very dry sea
son may canse it to die. The free use
of the lawn mower during dry seasons
is the cause of many lawns being ruin
ed, and this fact should not be over
looked in managing the grass plot
lli-sulphide of carbon will destroy
all animal life. If a small quantity is
poured into ant holes, or even into rat
holes, it will prove the best remedy
that can be used. It is excellent to use
on plants when they are young in or
der to destroy insects, provided the
plants are covered for a short time.
There is nothing better for driving rats
away if its use is persisted in.
Crimson clover has been a disap
pointment to some farmers due to tbe
fact that too much has Iteeu claimed
for it Farmers were advised to sow
the seed on corn stubble land, or any
where that a place could be found, and
that even if sown late in the season it
would make a crop. The fact is that
no seed will grow if it can not find
proper conditions. To succeed with
crimson clover it will 1 proper to pre
pare the land for the seed, aud it
should lie sown from the middle of
August to the 30th of September, ac
cording to locality, so as to give tbe
young plants time to grow and become
well rooted before winter. It is not a
difficult crop to grow, but deserves
proper attention, however.
Preventing the spread of fungus dis
eases could le accomplished better by
destroying the branches and vines that
are cut away from trees and bushes
than by the use of other methods. It
is not sullicie-nt to remove the portions
of trees affected with black knot
They should le consigned to the
flames, as no remedy is as sure in the
destruction of the spores as fire.
It is not necessary to feed geese,
ducks or turkeys during the warm sea
son if they have the privilege of a
range. Insects grass and seeds are
plentiful, and the fowls can secure
more food than they can consume.
Laud that has been used for a crop
in which disease appeared in the pro
duct, such as potatoes, should not again
be used for such a crop, as the disease
may remain in the soil for several
years, but such land may be planted to
some other crop and a system of ro
tation practiced which may destroy
the disease and fit it again for the crop
desired, but which was affected by
disease.
To prevent milk from becoming sour
during very warm weather it must be
cooled immediately after it is drawn.
There is no way to keep milk other
than to cool it, and the nearer it can
be kept to 40 degrees above zero the
better.
There are some garden crops that
may be planted now, such as string
beans, sweet corn and turnips, for late
use. Seed planted now, provided rains
are favorable, will germinate quickly
and make rapid growth. . "
The corn crop was hack ward in
growth in this section, but the recent
warm spell has lieen beneficial. There
is a liability of injury from drought,
however, and for that reason the
ground should given shallow culti
vation, so as to keep th lop soil loose,
which will serve to prevent loss of
moisCure from below.
One of the most neglected crops after
the harvest season is over Is the black
lerry. Perhaps no crop entails so lit
tle labor in proportion to the revenue
derived therefrom, yet it will pay to
keep the canes free from weeds and ,
grass and to apply fertilizer as well.
When a portiou of the canes have been
winter killed a good crop may be ob
tained from the remainder if the canes
received good treatment the previous
year, but as a rule, the canes are left
until it becomes time to cut them.
Many blackberry fields that have
borne good crops year after year and
then began to fail and die out are sim
ply yielding to starvation and neglect
The wheat field after harvest may be
given up to sheep and poultry. Kheep
will do excellent service In destroying
young weeds as fast as they shoot up
out of the ground, and as there will be
more or less grain left on the ground
the fowls will utilize it
It is better to defer trimming trees
until fall than to do bo now, as there
will le less liability of injury after the
sap begins to go down.

Couldn't Walk 15 Yards at a Time. Was No
Earthly Cue to any One. Thought 1
was Going to Die, but lr. Halm
Cured Me.
For 2 years or more I have had a fearful
trouble, In-gaii to gel very weak. My limlw
would not carry Ine any more. Couldn't walk
a stretch of 15 yardt.snd my heart would bil
at a fmrful rate at t lie least exertion. It seem
ed my bhxid turned to water. I gradually lie
came pale as one dead. I was no earthly use
toany one, and all my neighbors and rela
tives thought I was going to die. Home doc
tors couldn't help mu, so 1 went to Dr. Halm,
and to-day, I am happy to state, that I am
stnn. ger than ever, ran ent anything, do a full
day's work aud enjoy life as much asauy one,
aud my color, any one may be proud of.
