FIELD MICE IN FRANCE. t Times They overrun and Complete ly Deva:..ate Whole Cantons. The average loss Inflicted annually y field mice upon the cultivators of rance is estimated at 2.000.000 francs -about $400.000. From time to time. owever, there Is an enormous increase In the number of these pests and in he extent of their ravages. France has experienced about a doz n serious invasions by field mice since he beginning of the nineteenth cen ury. . The most disastrous was that hich occurred from the summer of 801 to the end of the autumn of 1802. n that occasion three departments ere absolutely devastated. As an Il ustration of the prodigious numbers in which these animals appear it may e stated that, during the outbreak of 1822 in Alsace. within a single fort night 1,570.000 were slanghtered In one anton-the French equivalent of a ownship-500.000 in another and 272. 00 in another. The sudden appearance of these ani mals in such numbers Is not due to a apid migration. but simply to the as mishing rapidity with which they mul tply when the weather happens to be favorable to their preservation. Un der such conditions a field c-ontaining 150 animals-the females are about twie as numerous as the males-at he end of winter would have more han 20.000 in September. There are many ways of fighting thej es. including the use of various poi sons, and asphyxiation of the animals n their burrows by means of noxious apors. but the plan recommended by he French government is to spread a ontagious disease among them by giv ng a bacte-iai preparation. HORSES AND HARNESS. Plea For Lightness and Simplicity In the Trappings.I From manny fragments of the archi ecture of the early ages and first al lusions to the horse as a domesticated animal it Is obvious that nothing su periuous in the way of saddlery and harness was employed, and on Grecian bas-reliefs and friezes horses are rep resented as being ridden without bit.: bridle, saddle or stirrups. the animals. being trained to obey the Indications of the hand and leg, while the attach ents for draft to the chariots used in war and sport were of the simplest character. As time went on. however. superfuous and injurious portions of harness were introduced, the weight* of leather and metal furniture in reased, and more attention was paid to appearance than utility. This has continued down to the pres ent times. and, in spite of the protests of those who have made the welfare of the horse a specialty and the ex ample of a few enlightened owners who have -realized the advantage of ightness and simplicity In harness. there still persists the idea that cer tain portions, such as the bearing and lame rein and the winker bridle. even unnecessary and useless, give the horse a more furnished appearance and, when dispensed with, a naked lok. In'other terms, fashion or cus tom outweighs consideration for the omfort, well being and effective work lug of the horse.-Animal's Friend. IL ET RIC BILIOSNE .
