HORSE-SHOEING STAND.
Oregon Inventor's Device for Miiklnic
the Mont Kritutliiun Animal
;-entle an n I.tuult.
So many sermons havo been
preached already on the wonderful In
telligence and obedience of the horse
that there Is no need of another one
In this column, but we muy mention
one proof of that obedience In the at
tltudo tho animal maintains toward
the blacksmith while the later tears
off an old shoe, trims tho horny hoof,
holds a hot iron shoe against the foot
to ascertain If Its shapo is correct,
and finally nails tho shoo fast to the
foot with many blows of tho hammer.
It Is surprising to think that so spir
ited an animal will submit to such
CONTROLS THE ANIMAL..
treatment without some show of re
sistance as it is improbable to sup
pose they understand tho benefits of
tho shoo In preventing rapid wearing
away of the hoof. Onco In awhile tho
blacksmith in his labors comes In con
tact with a horso which refuses to
yield to his command, showing a mul
dsh disposition and occasioning no
small amount of trouble. Then tho
shoer 'uses ingenuity, persuasion and
Anally strength to accomplish his pur
pose. 'It is an animal of this kind
which 'the artist has drawn in tho Il
lustration, and the horse seems to bo
at a slight disadvantage; in fact, to
have met his Waterloo that's whore
the inventor lives, by tho way. Here
after when a steed shows contrariness
the 'blacksmith will simply put his feet
Jn the stocks. How will he got them
there? Well, possibly by the same, re
cipe as the circus man trains his tiger.
Tho first rule runs something like
this: "First catch your tiger." So,
you first catch a leg, possibly with a
ropo noose, and, after making it fast,
proceed in tho same manner with tho
other leg. Then hoist the taclcle until
a large portion of the weight is re
moved from tho hind .ess and tho ani
mal is ready to be shod. Louisville

.-Some of the cattle buyers of the big
slaughter houses receive as salaries
Irom $10,000 to $15,000 per year, and
some, iit is said, as high as $25,000 per
year. The cattle buyer cannot hope to
command such a salary at one jump, re

rary, tho Arizona Cattleman. Ho must
advance gradually and demonstrate that
lie .Is earning his money each day. A
dally account and record Itkept with him.
I-Io ;buys a bundh of steers, they are
slaughtered, and he Is furnished each
day with a report showing just what
they cost his company net. If ho pays
too much, they are dear, and ho must
explain the whys and wherefores. Many
mistakes and bad judgment are not
necessary before he is advised that his
services are dispensed with. He must
be able to judge the amount on tlio hoof,
know what it will kill out, and that ho
made the purchase at the lowest prico
and with a good profit to the company.
He cannot equal up, his purchases for
a day make a bargain on one hunch and
pay too much for the other. The system

must speak for itself each tub must

How to meet the attack of a bull la
one of those problems which ojl anglers
would like to have solved. Given a fair
start, and a- safe retreat within easy
reach, the majority of men mako a run
for It. But there are times when no
such retreat is available. One angling
nuthor says that you should catch the
bull by the tall and belabor him with
the handle of your landing net. I should
have tried this latter dodge, but none of
the bulls came at me tall first. Sporting

TESTING SOIL FOR CROPS.
Government ARrlenlliirnt OlUolnla
Determine the CIiinh of Proil
ueta Suitable.
Tho chemistry of soils has of lato
been engaging tho attention of n bu
reau of tho agricultural department
with a view to determining the prod
uct likely to bo most productive in
each variety of land. Tho bureau,
states n Washington report, has
formed conclusions which appear to
bo In conflict with the opinions held
for many years by agricultural chem
ists, but which conform to the expe
riences of good farmers and with act
ual facts which have herotoforo been
established by tho chemists. It has
been shown that practically all soils
have sufficient available plant food for
normal crop yields, and that this sup
ply Is constantly maintained through
natural agencies In tho soil dissolving
tho material of tho soil grains.
Tho difference In yield Is dependent
upon tho condition and kind of culti
vation and rotation of crops, main
taining certain necessary physical son
ditlons In tho soli, under which this
plant food can be used by tho crop.
These experiments have shown that
the great nutrltivo solution for the sup
port of crops is tho soli moisture and
tho results of tho work are based, not
upon tho digestion of the soils In acids,
which attack tho inert mineral matter
of tho soil, but upon the chemical
annlyslB of tho soli moisture itself.
Tho fertility of the soil Is shown to
bo duo to physical causes which con
trol tho supply of water and plant
food which it contains, ns tho soil
moisture in all cases appears to be
about the same In composition and
concentration. Tho fertility Is, there
fore, controlled by a physical cause,
and a chemical examination of the soil
cannot be expected to lndlcato tho
yield of the crop. Some simple phys
leal method will now have to bo de
vised for determining tho relative for
tllity of soils.
WORN-OUT RUBBER RENEWED.
The Vnlunlilc lroliiet Ik Now Iteju-
vemitetl by a N'ewly-In vent
ed 1'roeeHn.
Worn-out rubber, like worn-out silver.
Is something that does not exist in these
days. Ever since the advent of bicycles
and automobiles, both of which draw
heavily on the world's rubber supply
and ever since the hundred-and-one
iiRns in 'hoh rnlilipr la nut in conncc
! tlon with electricity, the material has
1 become more and more scarce and valu
I able, so that even tho old rubber shoe
and the worn-out rubber boot may
throw out their cliefts In pride at being
worth -really something, says London
Answers. Nothing containing rubber Is
discarded nowadays. The old rubber
coat over which tho spring tires of a
motor car may run o- a country road to
day may some day f ml a nesting place
In the soft tresses of a woman's hair,
after having been transformed Into a
handsome comb.
Even vulcanized rubber, which, owing
to the sulphuric process to which it
was subjected, was formerly valueless,
Is now subjected to a process which re
juvenates It and makes it fit to be worked
up again for the purposes of the manu
facturer. Immense quantities of this
product, which formerly was assigned tc
a rubbish heap, are now treated and ad
mixed with a certain percentage of n(AV
gum, enough to cheapen the price ol
most rubber goods turned out by the
manufacturers to-day. Old rubber
however, can bo used by itself without
any addition of fresh gum, the process
of treatment being a simple one.
