Starts Suit to Pravant Lumbermen Getting Reduced Rate. Portland, July 27.— W hile the re duced tranmscontinental rates on lum ber shipments from Oregon to the Mid dle W est w ill go into effect on all lines on August 15, the W illam ette valley lumber mill men have not won their final round, since the Southern Pacific company has opened fire from a new quarter and sued in the Federal court tor an injunction against the Inter state Commerce commission’s order cutting down the $5 rate to San Fran cisco and bay points. The new attack by the Southern Pacific company w ill again check the lumber industry in the valley, as it clouds the future with un certainty. Temporary injunctions are regarded as very dangerous to business pros pects, and especially so in this case. Although the railroads propose to give a bond to indemnify lumber manufac turers in event o f losing the railroads’ case in court, the alleged bond does not prove to be any protection to the lum per industry. No n w lumber mill is going to start up and no old mill is go ing to resume business on the promise o f a railroad company to reimburse the mill should a lower rate ultimately be made. I t is believed by well-informed law yers that there does not exist more than one chance in 100 for the South ern Pacific company to win any import ant ground in the fight against railroad regulation as a result o f its newest at tack upon the validity o f the Hepburn law. Should the company win this suit it would destroy the Interstate Commerce commission as at present created and organized. I Willemstad, Island o f Curacoa, July 28.— The population here made a big demonstration against Senor Lopez, the Venezuelan consul, who retires, when he sailed on the steamer Mara caibo today.

The usefulness o f a horse depends largely upon the quality of his feet. I f they are sound and well taken care of he Is able to travel and work well, but if they are defective and neglected his usefulness is impaired and he can not be depended on In any emergency, as he Is liable, when his services are most needed, to become partially if not wholly disabled, resulting In serious loss to his owner. But few horses are born with perfect feet, yet the defects by carefui treatment are often entire ly cured; also many horses with sound hoofs are practically ruined by the ignorance or carelessness of black smiths. The proper shoeing of horses and the general care of their feet Is a matter that should receive the strict attention of every farmer, and yet. as a rule, it is wofully neglected. The farmer should have knowledge of the natural formation of a horse's foot, so as to be able to determine whether the animal Is being properly shod or not, and while that is being done he should never go away and leave the smith to slight the work to get through with It or butcher Its feet If be does not un derstand his business. While no definite rules for shoeing horses can be given, some general prin ciples are acknowledged by all com petent horseshoers, namely, the heel should never be cut except to remove a ragged point. The same is true of the frog, which is an elastic cushion. Intended to reduce the Impact of a sud den shock to the foot. The butterls Is an Instrument that may do an im mense amount o f damage In the bands of an Incapable operator. Much mis chief Is done by it every day. When the toe is too loug and projects heyoud the hoof, it causes stumbling ind It should be shortened. A hot Iron ihould never be applied to the foot to ascertain Its evenness, ns many black smiths do merely to save time, when they know It Is not right. A seared surface between the hoof and the shoe makes the contact less perfect and the shoe necessurily less rigid than it ought to be. The outside of the hoof should not be rasped more than is necessary to clinch the nails, as this thins the crust and re duces the strength of the bearing sur face o f the foot. Weakening nnd decay are sometimes the result of this prac tice. Oil applied to the hoofs occasion ally during dry weather Is beneficial. T o T e l l a H o r a e ’s A ffe . E x p s H n c s IlB S w In the eutlre realm of scientific In vestigation there Is nothing more Inter esting and marvelous than the growth and development of plants from the beginning or the germination of the seed to the reproduction of the germ. Each species of plant bus Its distinct ive character and life habits and only flourishes where natural conditions are favorable to Its growth. To attain any degree of perfection, the soil and clim ate combined must be such as the plants require, although a moderate de gree of success may be attained when either of these factors are not exactly suited to Its growth, but where both are deficient In any considerable de gree the plant can not be successfully grown, except by artificial means whereby the npcessnry natural condi tions are created. I f the chemical com position of the soil is favorable, and climatic conditions unfavorable, the latter can be created artificially—such as protection from cold a n ! excessive heat and lack of moisture--and, like wise, If the soil is deficient In the chemical elements which ti e plnnt re quires, they can be addej to. but In either case the process Is laborious and expensive and the results unsatisfac tory. All plants are indigenous to certain kinds o f soil, and all soils are especially adapted to the growth of certain kinds of plants, and nature can not be Improved upon In any way, nor can her deficiencies be successfully remedied by artificial means. In order, therefore, to be successful In his busi ness, the farmer must "keep close to nature anil mark well her ways.” He must raise only such crops as are best adapted to the soil of his farm, In ac cordance with his experience, and wholly refrain from extensive experi ments with such as are of doubtful utility.
