POINTS ON BUYING A HORSE.
What to Have In Mind Whan Select
; Ina a New Animal.
Too many pcoplo buy horses with
but considering the purpose for which
they arc to bo used. They think a
horse is a horso the world round and
that there is but little difference ex
cept In size an dwelght. Experience
and observation has taught me that
the slopo of the shoulder has more
to do with the horse's ability than
disposition or other points.
The horso with the shoulder such as

pendicular, will bo able to pull a heavy
load wlthoilt Injuring his shoulders.
The collar will not work up and choke
him and his shoulders will stand up
well under heavy work. A horso with
shoulders like Fig. 2 will stand ordi
nary work and drlvo well, but a horso
wlfh very sloping shoulders like Fig.
3 Is sultablo only for use as a saddlo
horso. Such a shoulder usually goes
with a short coupling and well sprung
ribs, which are characteristic of a
good saddler, says Fnrm and Homo.
A horso with very sloping shoulders
cannot bo worked at heavy drafting
without a specially designed collar or

SPRAYING AND DIPPING CATTLE.
Latter Process the Only Method Where
Many Cattle Have to be Treated.
In South Africa Is a disease very
slmllur to Texas fever but the result
of a different germ. It la, however,
spread In the sumo manner as Is
Texas fever, by means of the tick. Tho
stockmen, therefore, arc fighting tho
ticks, and various methods nro being
used In this warfare. One of these
Is tho dipping of tho cattle, as in this
country, and another method Is tho
spraying of tho cattle. In this spray
ing, keroKene is usod, and to it is
sometimes added arsenic, to mako tho
effect of the spraying more pro
nounced. Kerosene mixed with water
is said to be harmless to tho skin of
tho cattle and to cost only about four
cents per head. The cost of dipping
Is not much more, but the cost of the
dipping plant Is considerable. This
Is the claim of tho men that practice
tho spraying and bellevo in it. The
men that hold to tho dipping as tho
most effective means stato their side
of ftho argument thus:
Spraying requires Ave times as
much tlmo as does dipping . On a
small farm spraying may bo tho
cheaper, but on a largo ranch where a
thousand cattle must bo treated, the
matter of time Ib a great one. It rc
quires as long to spray 200 cattle as
it would require to dip a thousand
Dipping destroys the tlcka much moro
effectively than docs spraying. For
this reason the dipping arrangement
has displaced tho Bpraying apparatus
on nearly all cattle ranches that carry
largo numbers of cattlo.

Mix Soap With Dough.
From a communication read to tho
Association of Belgian Chemists It
seems that continental bakers are In
(ho habit of mixing soup with their
dough to make their bread and pastry
nice and light. Tho quantity of snap
varies greatly. In fancy nrticlus llko
waffles and fritters it is saucli larger
than in bread.
Tho extraordinary popularity of flno

choice of Starch a matter of grcit im
portance. Defiance Starch, being frco
from all Injurious chemicals, is tho
only one which Is safe to uso on flno

Starch necessary, with tho result of

Uses of Masks.
"Among tho North American Indians
the origin of tho uso of masks lay,"
says a writer, "In tho desiro to con
ceal tho emotions. Thus should two
warriors meet in combat, the mask
conceals any expression, whether of
sympathy, fear or other emotion. For
Instance, tho knowledge that fear was
depleted on one's face and that his an

Wrong Method of Teaching.
Consul Paul Nash, of Vcnlco, writes:
"Hundreds of well-educated Amorlcans
annually pass through Vcnlco nnd, al

from prize-winning In French or Gor
man, aro generally unablo to speak
either language, although capable of
writing an excellent thesis on their
history, philology, syntax and litera
ture. This is the result of teaching
French and German In much tho same
way that Latin and Greek are taught"
WHO SHE WAS
SKETCH OF THE LIFE
And a True Story of How the Vegetable Compound
Had Its Birth and How the "Panic of '73" Caused
it to be Offered for Public Sale in Drug Stores.
This rcmarkablo woman, whoso
maiden nntao was Estcs, was born in
Lynn, Mass., February utli, 181'J, com
ing from a good old Quaker family.
For some years she taught school, and
became known as a womuu of an alert
nnd Investigating mind, an earnest
nccltcr after knowledge, nnd above
all, possessed of a wonderfully sympa
thetle nature.
In 1843 she married Isaac IMnlriuuu,
a builder and real estate operutor, nnd
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, tlireo tons and a
daughter.
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
nnd herbs, nature's own remedies
calling in a physician only in specially
urgent cases, llv tradition and ex
perience many of them gained a won
derful Knowledge or the ctirallvo prop,
ortics Of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkhnra took a great Interest
in the study of roots nntl herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease
Sho maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in tho harvest-
ilultls and orchards vegetable foods of
nil kinds; so, if wo but take tho pains
to find them, in the roots nnd herbs
of the field there uro remedies ex
pressly designed to euro thu various
ills and weaknesses of tho body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
nnd prepare simple ami effeclivo medi
cines for her own family nnd friends.
Chief of these was a rare comlmm
Hon of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for tho
cure of the ills nnd weaknesses pecu
liar to the female sex, and LydiaE. rink
hum's friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with
OMt money and without price, au u
luuor 01 love.

much for the largo real estate Interests

Lvdia E. Pinkhara herself did not
live to see the great success of this
work. Khe passed to her reward years
ago, but not till sho had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have dono it
herself.
Diirlntf her lontr and eventful expe

work and she wns always, careful to pre
serve a record of every case that came to
her attention. Thu case of every sick
woman who applied to her for advlco

careful study, and tho details, includ
ing symptoms, treatment una results
were recorded for future reference, and
to-dnv these records, together with
hundreds of thousands made since, are
available to sick women thu world
ovor, nnd represent a vast collabora
tion or information regarding tno
treatment of woman's Ills, which for
authenticity and accuracy can hardly
be equaled in uuy library in tho
world.
With Lydia E. Pinkhnm worked her
daughter-in-law, tho present Mrs.
l'lnkhum. She was carefully Instructed
In nil her hard-won knowledge, and
for years sho assisted her is her vast
correspondence.
To her hands naturally fell tho
direction of the work wheu its origina

nothing in the work shows when tho
llrst Lydia E. Plnkham dropped her
pen, nnd the present Mrs. l'lnkhum,
