IIORSKS AM) HOT WEATHER * Hot weather Is always the occa sion of great suffering among horses] on the farm, as well as elsewhere, i We frequently hear of horses being overcome by heat, or dying from the i ffectS of too much water while in an overheated condition. One of the most common causes of | leath to horses in hot weather is go ng too long without water. It is not | tmUSUal lor Hams to be kepi in the ? eld from one o'clock in the after noon until seven in the evening with out, having an opportunity to slake -heir thirst. The man who drives] them has a supply of water in a jug from which he draws frequently. It is a safe assertion tha4 the hoists would drink nearly as often as their liriver if they had the chance to do (i. Anyone who has bad to work while thirsty ??an rendild appreciate how the horse must feel when, in the Same condition. Another common cause of death riinong horses, und one that natural er follows the above, is drinking too much water while warm. We do not believe that it Injures a horse in any way to drink water when ho warm, providing tho water is nol too ?old and the horse is not ;o thirst; ?hat. he will drink a largo amount. The great barm that comes IjO horses drink ing water when they are warm Hea in their being so thirsty that they drink an excessive amount. Where horses tfjure denied the privilege! of drinking mjffi* they become thirsty, it is no doubt ?vise to keep them from having their till when they reach water. The better plan is not to allow horses to become so terribly thirsty 'hat they will drink to excess when they get at the water tank. If it is a practical plan, and we believe it is in many cases, water should be tak en to the field for tho horses as well as for the men who work there. If! this is not feasible, then horses should not be kept so long In the field. There is more than the humani tarian side to this question, for wlth out a doubt horses which receive wa ter when they become thirsty are uiven new lifo^ust as a man Is renew ed In energy when his thirst is quenched. The horse with a satis fied thirst has more spirit and great er capacity for work. Then the occa ionnl loss of ' a valuable horse through overheating or drinking loo much water when warm is another material consideration. Thus both from the side of kindness to animals and from the financial side, it pays to keep horses from becoming ex ceedingly thirsty - Nebraska Fanner. MM AND LOCKING PINCER IS LATE31 Little Tool That Locks When Closed Requires Considerable Force to Open Just Invented. A pair of pincers that lock when they are closed and that require considerable force to open have been invented by a California man, and men who use pincers that need a tight grip will appreciate the Implement. The Jaws are loekfd by dovetail tongues that enter sockets at tholr inner ends. Nor Is Locking Pincers. this tool only to be used aa pmcero. On either aide of tho jaws are a hammer ftnd punch, and the divi ders arc removably attached and are held in place by thumb screws so that they can be taken out at any time wLen they are likely to be bent by the work to which the tool is being used or to scratch the user. Midway up the handle, too, Is the rule by which the spacing of the dividers can be regulated, doing back to the pincers it should be mentioned that their jaws are ?o curved that when closed they surround a circular opening by means of which pipes or other round bodies may be accommodated, though, of course, the jaws will not lock if they do not meet at the outer ends. ATTACH WHEELS TO SLEIGH Conveyance That Is Hsndy When One Is Caught Miles From Home After Snow Is Melted. Any person who has been sleighing up to the eleventh hour and got caught miles from homo after the snow had melted will appreciate the invention of a Minnesota man hero described. This invention is nothing ieaa than a wheel attachment for sleighs which enables the driver to get homo without difficul ty, even If the snow Is all gone. Two pairs of wheels aro attached to the body of the sleigh, with the front and rear crank axles mounted on pivots. A Sleigh With Wheels. bar running through tho two axles is adjustably connected to tho rear sup port of the sleigh body, A strong : pring keeps the wheels clear ot tho ground when they are not in use, but when needed they are let. down, and tho connecting bar locked so that the sleigh rests on tho wheels and tue run ners aro several inches abovo tho ground. It takes only a few minutes to make tho chango and tho vehicle may be used comfortably in places where tho conditions of the road vary. Utillza Manufacturing Waste. To utilize manufacturing waste is in some cases a serious problem, and a committee of tho American Chemical society, under the chairmanship of O. Alleman, Swarthmore, Pa., has under taken a solution. Manufacturers are to report tho wasto available. Each kind will bo given scientific Investiga tion, and It Is expected that materials hitJierto lost will become economical now sources of chemical elements and ol various prolltnble new products. Non-inflammable Celluloid. a nonlnflnmmable celluloid has been patented by Prof. A. Gnutler. The chief feature of tho process Is the employment of an ether silicate instead of pure other, which Is or dinarlly used with alcohol ns the solvent In tho agglutination of nitro cellulose fibers by mean:, ol cam poor. ?
