SWIMMING A HORSE.
HURRAH FOR OUR SIDE!
Oregon, having swept the field
in awards for the best timber in
the world, the best and biggest
fish that swim, the richest of
nickel and other mines, the great
est wheat and oats that grow in
the world, the most wonderful
plums, prunes, peaches and pears,
and the best flavored big red ap
ples on earth now comes to the
front in her usual get-away-with-everything-in-sight
style and cap
tures four premiums in - the state
school exhibit. Superintendent
McElroy has received official no
tification that Oregon's educa
tional exhibit has been awarded
four prizes for its special features,
indicating the advancement of
education in Oregon.
flow a Horse and Rider Slay Successfully
CroHR a Swollen Stream.
There may be readers who run a
chance of having to ride across a swollen
stream and it may be to swim. The
safety of both rider and horse may de
pend on the action of the rider in such
an emergency. Pictures are often seen
representing horsemen sitting bolt up
right in their saddles while Swimming
their horses across a stream, the whole
line of the horses' backs being visible
above the water. The artists who make
these pictures can hardly have ridden a
horse while the animal was swimming
or seen the thing done.
A French cavalry officer in a military
journal of Paris gives this account of
the way a horse should not be ridden
and the way he should be ridden in
swimming a stream: To begin with, it
must not be supposed that a horse al
ways swims naturally and with ease the
moment he is off his feet in the water:
the animal under such circumstances
has but one notion, to keep hia head out
of the water and to lift his shoulders as
high as po.-sible. In doing this his hind
quarters sink and he finds himself stand
ing almost on his tail, or ia a position
three-quarters erect. In such a position,
if the driver draws upon his reins, or
throws his body back in the least, the
animal's hind quarters will sink more
and more, his body will take a vertical
positiou, and beating the water uselessly
with his fore feet he will sink.
As sooti as his horse gets ofj' his feet in
the water let the' rider grasp a handful
of the animal's mane, lea. dug at the
same time well forward up:m his shoul
der, but without to.icbing the horse's
head. The rider's knees should be
pressed tightly to the horse's sides,
otherwise he in likely to be swept off by
the water. This is the only position
that will enable a man to re'iiain in the
saddle and the horse to swimat the
same time. The reins must be held
loosely, aud each well to one side. If
the horse is to be guided in the water
give the loose 'rein a little jerk in the
direction -o: ired. But it is in the high
est degree important never to pull on
the rein. Nor west Fanner.
A Growing Industry.
Inventive ingenuity of the highest
order is constantly at work to discover
uses for paper, while the manufacturer
and the inventor of papermaking ma
chinery are straining every energy tj
improve the quality of the product, to
cheapen production or to provide special
grades for new uses. Judging from the
still undiminished flood of inventions, it
would appear that the industry is yet in
its infancy as compared with the influ
ence it is destined to exert on the com
fort, intelligence and advancement of
the human race. Engineering Maga-
