Almost every day we read in the papers of share one gored to death by a, bull. But alimost always it is a: bull that has been more or 1838 handled and not one that has been running loose constantly with a herd and therefore open to suspicion of beâ€" ingivild and possibly dangerous. These tragedies occur so often that we think some suggestions by Henry E. Alvord, Chief of the Dairy Division of the Bureau of Animal Industry at Washington, ought to be placed within reach of all who keep one or more bulls. It is a fact Well known by regular stockmen that any bull may be very dangerous; it is also just as well known that any bull pro- perly trained, kept in subjection,and managed may be perfectly safe. We quote the suggestflons for training and management entire: " The chief objection made to bulls of some: age is that they are likely to be vicious and dangerous. Every one recognizes the difference in temâ€" perament hetWeen the fleshy, beefy bull and the one lof pronounced dairy character; but experience and obser- wation have taught that this bulls of [marked dairy type are much alike in disposition, regardless of breed, as among men, some bulls will be found iAgricultural 06 naturally bad temper, but it is beâ€" lieved that the great majority of bulls of all the dairy breeds. can be safely kept until too old for service and handled without serious trouble, if only properly reared and judiciously managed. " In rearing a. bull, accustom it to being handled from calfhood, but without fondling or encouraging froâ€" lic. Give it kind, quiet, fjrm and un- verying treatment, and keep it al‘ Ways under subjection, that it may' never know its strength and power, Insert the nose ring before it is a year old, keep this renewed so as to be always strong, and always lead and handle the animal with staff in the hands of adiscreet and trusty man. The bull should, never run loose in yard or pasture, but should be proâ€" vided with abundant and regular ex- ercise, always under restraint, and full control. The 'walk arou-nd’ arâ€" nanxgement, like the sweep horse pow- er, affords a fair degree of voluntary exercise, but is hardly sufficient. The best plan seems to be to provide a suitable tread power with a. governor attached, place the bull in this daily, and let him walk a fixed tiem, or known distance. The main object should be regular and sufficient ex- ercise for the bull. Incidentally, he may be made to run a fodder cutter or a cream separator and perform valuable service. As age and strength increase, let the staff be supplement- ed by strap, chain or rope attached tlo asecond ring. ’Do this may well be added some hitching or leading chain with a strong strap around horns or neck. Let there be always a double hitching device, so that the bull may never by accident find himself loose when he should be tied. If restive- ness and temper are shown, add to the exercise in duration or quantity, without violence; a. bull physically tired may be depended upon to be quiet and easily managed. “It is much better to keep the bull as much as possible in the presence or in full sight of the herd thia-n sta- bled by himself in a lonely place. Let him be in the same room with cows during the stabling season,’ and at milking times the rest of the year." Correct feeding. clean water, com- fortable housing, thorough currying and brushing, plenty of work and good care are the safeguards of the health of the farm horse.

Often people are anxious to know What constitutes a car load, arnd we annex the following for the benefit of any who may desire the knowledge. The figures may not exactly suit evâ€" erywhere, but; approximate so closely to a general average that shippers will find them a great convenience as reference: As a general rule 20,000 pounds or 70 barrels of salt. 70 of lime, 90 of flour 60 of whisky 200 sacks of flour, 6 oords of hard wood, 7 cords of soft wood, 18 to 20 head of cattle, 50 to 60 head of hues, 80 to 100 head oi slheep, 9,000 feet of solid boards, 17,000 feet of siding, 13,000 feet of flooring, 40,000 shingles, one half less of hard lumber, one fourth less of green lumber, one tenth less joists, saant- linng and all other large timber, 310 bushels, of wheat, 300 of corn, 680 of oats, 400 of barley, 360 of flaxs‘eed, 360 of apples. 330 of Irish potatoes, 356' of swvee‘t potatoes. 1,000 bushels of bran.

Snld to no Dangerous, to lee Any“ here on This Earth. Many scientists insist that it is dangerous to live anywhere on this earth. and give facts and figures to proye it. From. pole to pole danger abounds. and frightful catastrophes are liable to overcome humanity at any spot on the globe. Science proves that not a square mile of the en- tire earth but has in some time of the ages been swept by flood, fire or glacier. or buried by volcanic erupâ€" tions, or violently shaken by earth- qualka, so that all human life there must have been ended. {Dd not attempt to keep too many breeds at due time, unless fully pre- pared to keep each breed separate, as crossing promiscuously does not pay. As to earthquyee, there is :no place that has not felt thefii. There is 'an erroneous and popular belief that only the tropical regions are liable to severe earthquakes. Even the chilly plains of Tartary have been torn by these shocks.

If it can sink that fast it certainly has no very solid underpinning. and some day the props may let go all at once. and where will New Yonk be? Val-‘3t tracts of Holland are already be- low the surface of the sea, and the waves are kept curt with the great dykes, and science says that Hol- land. Belgium. Denmark and all the southern coast of the Baltic are sink- ing steadily. The entire continent of Atalanta has gone down under the wavesâ€"Why should not other con- tinents follow? To balance these depressions, some spots are rising. A'boru‘t oneâ€"half of the Pacific islands are being elevated. 50 are the West Indies, the west coast of Somth America and Spitzenbergen. The entire series of Japanese islands rose from the waves in a comp-Ira- tively brief time. “The Land’ That Swings Like a Hammoak” is the name given by In- dians to the territory about San Salvador, Central America. That city was utterly destroyed by an earthquake on March 19, 1873, but the people had grown alarmed and had deserted it, so only 500 were kill- ed. It flourishes to-day. But in spite of these terrors men live cnlmly on. Most men never stuJy nature, and so do not know these things. Others read of them in their school books and forget them along with their Latin and mythology. Only the professional scientists keep them ever in mind, and these are not alarmed, for (they know there is really no safe Iplaoe on earth, anyhow. I; .i Ila}; IHTmorlsnl.

Colonist The Emperor [In] In Audlonce From Slid- nlgln‘ Till Dawn. m The Chinese Emperor is now about thirty years of age. He is under the medium height, sallow, and apparently of a weak constitution. He has re- ceived agood training in Chinese and Mllnchu. He knows some English. He has a wife. a dozen concubines, and no chil‘lren. He is unable to control his explosive teunper. 'It is doubtful ‘whether he can exert a rule of au- ‘thority over others. He has akind of feminine energy to push ahead, but lacks clear vision of surrounding con- ditions. His reform. edicts are unique in the history of the empire. It is im- possible to say, however, what part of them are due-to him and what part to Kamg Yuâ€"VVei, the greatest leader of the Reform party. The Emperor, as is customary in China, transects all state affairs beâ€" tween twelve at midnight and the rise of the sun. .Sonme sharp tongue has said that the Chinese love darkness because their deeds are evil. What is good, however, is done at the same time. It is during these hours that Kwang H311 formulates his edicts, which are all published in the Pekin Gazette. Two officials shadow the Emperor without ceasing. These are the Imperial Recorders. They note and transcribe his every act, his ev- ery word. Their memoranda are transferred to the Imperial archives and are not opened until the history ’of the dynasty is written,‘lonzg after the rotting bones of Kwang Hsru have become sacred beside those of his anâ€" cest ors. PECULIAR ACCIDENT. \A peculiar accident occurred in a \Vestern town recently. The big iron safe inashoe factory refused to open, and the bookkeeper and engineer con- ceived the idea that they could burn out the combination by use of carbon and electricity. It took several hours to accomplish their purpose, but they finally succeeded, but not until they had stood for several hours in the glare of the electric light taking turns at holding the wire and carbon. When the work was over both complained of a dizziness and pain in the head which increased as the hours passed, and in a. short time both went suddenly blind ati about the same time. All efforts to restore their sight have been unâ€" availing, for While the eye ball-s appear all right, the sight is destroyed.
