S iii The Philosophy of Currying Horses. as When the editor of Wallaces' Farmer was a boy he could not understand why colts running in the pasture grew and thrived j without currying, and why it was strongly insisted upon by pater *ie nal authority (hat horses in the stable should becurriedthorough ?f !y at least once a day, and twice ?s- a day if they had been sweating er freely in the field. We presume ;e- a good many boys are inclined to take the view that we did of it at jn that time?that currying horses jy was done entirely for show. The philosophy that underlies the practice of grooming horses, however, lies deeper than this. A 11 horse that is running on grass ,lv and doiug nothing takes more n" exercise than is necessary togath ve er his feed. This feed is largely es laxative and its debris, the excre as lions of the system, are carried ly ofT mainly by the kidneys and m bowels. If however, a horse is QV stabled and doing work, especially ly hard or fast work, work that brings the sweat, the secretions ny ot the glands of the skin are en|)ir ormously increased. To do fast lot work he must be fed on drv. m highly nutritious feed, and this n<* again increases the secretions of ies the skin. Ilence the philosophy ch of currying is to assist, nature by ile artificial means to get rid of these th increased secretions to prevent clogging the pores of the skin jie and consequent injury to health. U(j The farm horse needs less curjn rv>nK than the driving horse, j for the reason that he is generally less highly fed, gets green n? feed in summer at night, while u the horse that is driven and is fed o 1 highly nutritious fesd must lP- be curried if he is to keep in ne health. A horse can't be in health ak unless he has a healthy skin, he This is shown by the appearance e; of the hair. If the skin is unheal60 thy, the coat is harsh and dry. Currying is to the horse what bathing is to man. In fact, where bathing facilities are lacking, as they are in country homos, the health of the family would be *e" very greatly improved if they would use a good stiff brush and ia* currv themselves iust as thev at curry horses, then follow it up <er with h sponge bath, using first ? warm, then ccld water in winter, and warm water alone in sum mer. If you want to keep cool in the summer use hot water after [ill using the brush. You will then understand the philosophy of currying the horse, and take care of your own health.?

Here is a simple method ol ivn | curing lari.il neuralgia: If the a neuralgia is in the right side ol e*v ! the face the left hand slioul d be placed in a basin of water as 1 hot a? can be borne. Or it neural im:gia i* i? the h it side of the lace ^lH|then the right hand should he Kl' placed i* the hot water. It is as jsorted tha' in this way reliei in may ho obtained in lean than he J Jive minutes. The explanation i? th*t the two nerves which in hat# fa* greatest mi ml er of "" 11act11 nerve eudings are the fifth mi the median nerve. As fly the fibres of these two nerves nd cross any impulse convoyed to aj the left hand will a flee J the right he faoe? ?f applied to the right hand will affect the 1 it aide of the fare. This is on j account ! the crossing of the | cords. f < f Earthquakes. (From the London Graphic ) At the meeting of (he British , Association Prof John Milne . i resented his us ml annual re port on earthquakes, accompa| tiying it with a map which showi ed the cucles c:f?lipees of instability on the earth's crust Irotn 1 which the gieat earthquakes of the world proceed. During the last year of observation (1905) the number of large earthquakes ? that is to say, emthquakes whose tremors were of wide spread influence?was 56, which was the exact average. A glance iL. it ? "? ? me eartuquaxe map snowed that, with a few exceptions t hese earthquakes were confined o a circle passing from Central America through fhe Azores, the Alpines, Balkan and Him alayan ranges into the East ludia archipelago. There was a destructive earth q uake in Calabria on September 8, 1005. but l'rof. Milne is not sure whether it was in any way connected with the relief of volcanic Bttess which began as ear ly as May, 19U5, and culminated in the violent eruptions at Vesu vius in April, 1906. The largest earthquakes eclisping this, or t he Indian one of April 4, 1905, or even that which on April 18 of last year devastated central California, were two which occurred in Central Asia in duly of last year. No accounts of destruction however, reached England, so that the districts where they occurred must have been sparsely populated. From other observations in 1 Prof. Milne's report it appears that on the west side of the Pacific earthquakes are more frequent in winter. It is suggested that ' an explanation can bo found in the seasonal alternation in the flow of ocean currents, the oecil , lation of sea level and the i changes in barometric gradients ?phenomena which are all connected with one another.
