Hone sprtvln in horses is a disrate of the
smnll bono in the lower and inner prtrt
of the hork joint. Tho lameness which
is usually present is shown in the stiffness
or tho ,oint, nnd the animal is inclined to
tread, as it were, on the toe, and usually
rests on the toe. Hag spavin is mainly
nn inllam t ation of the hock joint, and
may bo caused by sprains, rheumatism,
or a bruise. A p ,ffy swcllingoi the joint
usually accompanies bag spavin, with
much heat and tenderness of tho part
nllccted. The treatment and remedies
of both nro very similar. Tho animal
should rest and a high-heeled shoo be
nailed on as soon as the spavin is dis
covered. The joint should then be bathed
friMlv with rnlil vatur in n-flrnt v,f)inr
but in winter warm is preferable, amiss
soon as the inflammation subsides counter
irritnnts mnvl-e applied, then after a few
days apply a blister. In young animals a
euro-is usually effected, but in old ones,
especially thoso of rheumatic constitu

Stretches In Sheep.
Stretches, sometimes callcd colic, as
described by veterinarians is due to con
stipation, and occurs most frequently to
ward the latter part of winter. A sheep
suffering from an attack of this nature
stretches itself every few minutes at full
length whilo standing, lies down fre
quently, and rises again in a few min
utes and gives evidence of being in con
stant pain. Unless something is done
to relieve the sufferer, a sheep when
once attacked will seldom recover.
There is in all cases of this kind a ten
dency to intussusception of some of tho
small intestines, that is, one part of the
intestines is drawn into another in tho
same manner that the finger of a glove
sometimes is wnen arawn lrom the hand,

contracts or t huts down upon tho part !
within, producing inflammation. This ;
causes interne pain and stoppage. The
simplest and surest remedy we have ever I
seen applied is for a strong man to seize j
the sheep by the hind Tegs above the
bock, raise it as high as possible by ele-!
vatlng the hands, holding the animal in 1
such a position as to bring its back next
to tho operator. Keep tne sufferer in '
this position, head downward, a few
minutes, and churn it up and down '
Bligh'.ly, using care to keep its head from !
touching the ground. When the animal
is give i its liberty it will in most cases !
run olf and join its companion as thou "h
nothintr had ever ailed it. The philofo-
phyof this treatment is that tho intus-
suscepted intestine is brought back to

tho result. A little prudence will ordi

Fruit trees or plants will not take care
When you have to buy seeds, as everv
one must, buy of men of established
reputation.
Have everything ready early, and get
all in readiness w h 'n it can be done with
the least outlay of valuable time.
One advantage with good drainage is
that the fruits will usually come to
maturity earlier than on uudrained land.

The greatest injury any farmer has
ever done to his soil is where he has
starved the crop and soil by not using
enough fertilizer.
The best remedy for black knot is
good soil and good tillage with care
taken to cut off and burn each knot as
soon at possible after its appearance.
Farming comp res very favorably with
other branches of business, t ne can do
any amount of hard work in it. The
more one does intelligently the better he
will succeed.
In trying a novelty the prudent farmer
will not plant larccly till he has proved
the merits of the new article and ita
adantibility to his soil and climate, by
comes; that is what heaves the plants.
Corn stalks will do nicely.
To make a success of farming, a young
man must start out in a small way. His
chances are then as good as tho boys
fifty years ago had, but he must not ex
pect to make a fortune in a short time.
Most of our best seedsmen test their
seeds beforo selling them, and know
what they aro selling; but they cannot
be expected to warrant good seed in tho
hands of careless or inexperienced gar
deners. Au inferior queen that has mated with
a vigorous, well fed nnd healthy drone
will give decidedly better results than
had tho cross been vice versa. More
good queens are ruined at mating time
than wo are aware of.
I'rofessor Maynard is quoted as saying
that birds do moro good than harm to
the farmer and on hnrdist, and that
more trees should bo planted that they
may have a due share of tho fruit nnd
leave some for the grower.
There aro enough horses killed every
year on bnd roads, and enough damage

The Snmonns nn Interesting Race.
Terhaps the most interesting race of
barbarians ingthe world they are of a
much higher grade than what we usually
style savages is that of the true brown
l olynesians from New Zealand in the
trouth l'acilic to Hawaii in the North, or
irom the 1 agunes iu the Central l arific
to Easter Island. Throughout all of this
vast expanse of waters, occuping an area
roughly equal to that of the Nonh
American continent, that chaimingbar
barian is a'most the only aliorig'nal in
habitant. Twelve groups of islands are
his home Hawaii, Tokelnu, tho f.llice
Islands, tho I'luenix Islands, and the
outlying (not the main portion of the
Fiji; group, ow ea'and, Tonga. Tahiti,
the Jlarqi.csas, tho liervey, J'aumotu,
and Samoa; beside a number of separate
islands, like Easter Islaud, famous for
ils great prehistoric statues of stone.
Among all the groups the Samoan claims
at once the immediate interest of being
the'scene of the latest pan-Certnanic ef
forts at spoliation in the Pacific Ocean,
nnd the older distinction of having teen
the center of dispersion whence fhe
brown Polynesians set out upon their
migrations from archipelago to archi

we are not yet nble to determine the
date.
The Pamoan group received the name
by which it was long known, that of ths
Navigators' Islands, fiom Bougainville,
w ho discovered the islands in the year
1 788 and named them, "probably on ac
count of the super, or construction of
the canies, of the natives and of their
surprising dexterity in ih") water." The
group lie in the outh Pacific, about
two-thirds of the way from the coasts
of Central Peru to those of Northern

its futuro prospects.
"Ecuador," laid Mr. Boissevain,
"seems to bo the" least known of the
South American Hepublics, but has, in
my opinion, a glorious future. Ita in
ternal resources are simply cnornious,but
entirely undeveloped. It brings much of
its produce from California and Chilo,
because it has not tho means of trans

so transported it is worth its weight in

products are in the same ratio.

Processions of Slaves in Africa.
One of the saddest sight seen any
where is a common spectacle on somo
of tho largo tributaries of the Congo.
The Bangala and a few other largo tribes
along the Congo havo a great de
mand for slaves to be killed as sacrifices
upon the death of important persons, or
to be used to f urn Mi forth their canni
bal feasts. I'nless they are at war the
supply of slnves often runs short, aud
they send expeditious up the Lulongo,
the Tchuapa, and other rivers, to buy
victims for their ceremonies. Another
reasou why they seek the slave markets
along the C ongo tributaries is that, as a
rule, the further they go from tho main
river tho cheaper they can buy slaves.
So it is no uncommon sight for ex
plorers, ascending tho tributaries, to
meet processions of Congo canoes lnden
with slaves, usually male adults, going
to their own funerals, and often bound
hand and foot.
They understand full well the cruol
fate from which there is no escape
The richer or more important tho family
which has lost ouo of its members, the

the hot sunbeams to enter, but it refuses
to allow them out again with equal

way to be likened to a greenhouse, only,

A Terror fo Kuuvish Conl Dealers.
In Northern cities there has been re
cently introduced a patented automatic
machine, which is a torror to the unfair
coal dealer. It is in the form of scales,
attached to coal receptacles. An ac
count says:
Tho new-fangled concern is a remark
able piece of ingenuity. The hopper, of
the shape of ati inverted pyramid, opens
its wide mouth beneath the sidewalk
chute into which the coal is dumped
from tho cart. The hopper holds about
two tons of coal, and rest upon a set of
levers supported by a heavy framework
of wood. The levers textend to heavy
scales capable of weighing several tons..
The who e structure is so adjusted that
when the coal is dumped from tho cart
through the sidewalk chute intthe
hopper its weight is immediately regis
tered by the scales,

A Street Annnnelatof.
"Drop a nickel in the slot and learn
what street comes next" is the latest
application of the nlckol and the slot
distraction. Your nickel, however,
goes into a conductor's pocket, The
slot, nevertheless, exists, and your in
quiry is answered just as ellectually as
though you saw your hard-earned coin
disnppenr into the silvor-platcd lipi of
the silent monster.
Over tho door leading out to the
dummy of each one of the Powell street
cable cars is a device termed the "street
annunciator,1' being simply a neat little
oaken box with an open glass face. Its
position is such as to be in full view of
all the passengers in the car. As the
different streets arc approached narrow
sheets of paper, upon which their various
names aro conspicuously inscribed, au
tomatically unfold and drop into view
under the glass and indicate the next
street A sharp click calls it to ono's
attention, as do also the words "the next
street is" over the inscribed name.
The automatic change of names is ac
complished by an elevation of a few
inches of tlio iron slot in which the grip
tits, occuring a few feet beyond each
street, nnd as tho car passes a slender
iron rod extending beneath tho car rises
and falls, which, connecting with the
mechanism in the box, causes the roll of
puper to unfold jut far enough to reveal
the name of thone.xt street. Tho inven
tion is designed to save the vast quanti
ties of breath on the part of passengers
aud conductors. --'i VrancucjChronic'r.
A Delnsivc Telegraphic Code.
She was going to Europe. Ilo is a
x-ery rich man, out a millionaire will
always make up a telegraphic codo to
save money. It would bo nothing to
him if sho sent a hundred words in a
telegram, but he will always get as
much as he can for nothing anyway, and
he will hitvo a telegraph code. He left
her to make out tho code, the made
one quite to tho point on all important
matters. Sho selected the words her
self, wrote it all out, and handed it to
him when she left. He locked it in his
desk and it was a'l right. J ast week he
got n telegram from her. It consisted
of -one word "laugh." lie laughed.
It seemed to be something quite plcasaut.
His code was at the house. He wont up
there in the best of humor. He got out
the code and he read this brief but em
phatic
