Coughing KEOrses--Cause and
Care.

Tt is well known that feeding horses on
clover hay often makes them cough but the
reason why and wherefore may not be 50
generally known From observation have
become fully satisfied that the manner of
feeding hay to horses is the cause. The
usual custom is to let them draw it through
the rack, thus stripping off the fine dust
which adheres to the stalk which being
drawn into the lungs in respiration produces
the cough. The cure consists in removing
the cause---that is, the racks--and allowing
the animals to take their food inthe natural
way. have removed all Of mine, and now
feed horses on the barn floor, havinga breast
work sufficiently high for them to eat over.
In this way they can be fed hay without
raising a dust, they can get none under their
feet, and the trouble of cleaning out mana
gers is saved, whatever is left is easily push
cd out with a rake into the yard for thccat-
tie. The dust on the hay will do the horse
no harm if taken in the stomach Since
making the improvement above mentioned in
my feeding apparatus am not troubled
with coughing horses, There is no patent
on my invention; my brethren can use free

Call Them by Their Right
Names.

Democrats, to denote their contempt of
the Opposition, have been in the habit Of
calling them Black Abolitionsts, niger
worshippers, and the like. But to put
them in the proper odimn before the pco-
pie name should be selected which gives
expressive utterancc TO their most obnox-
ious and most prominent characteristics,
We call them, therefore, Disunion Traitors.
Let them defend against the name if they
can. They are Abolition Disunon Traitors.
Traitors to the Constitution and the Union.
Traitors to Liberty and to God. Let them
be heralded by their right names. Let the
whole world know them for Disunion Trait

SANITARY. elsewhere in to-day's paper
will be seen a communication from DR..
COATES, calling for sanitary stores for the
soldiers. However injurious to the coun-
the war may be, and destructive of our free
institutions, as it certainly is, the private
soldiers deserve our protection and the ma
tons gratitude 1t is not their fault that
the war was commenced nor that it has
been perverted to wicked purposes. 1t is
the disposition of all the people, however
much they may be opposed to the prosecu-
ton of the war, to perform all possible
kindly acts to the private soldiers. But in
this connection we are reminded that swim
ding abolition pets have used the liberality
OF the people to make gain for themselves,
and appropriated to their own use that
which was given for the soldiers. This
charge, however, does not apply to DR..
COATES. We are also reminded that as a
general thing the Soldiers Aid Societies
have been used for the manufacture of po-
litical capital instead of ministering to the
needy soldiers. 20 .-...... .-....
At nearly all of their public meetings
auack Doctors of Divinity and other design,
ing demagogues are present to lie about
and abuse Democrats, and in this way the
Aid Societies have been converted into in,
strumentalities for sustaining and keeping
in Office corrupt and designing men instead
Of performing kindly offices and christian
duties to the soldiers. This course has dis
gusted many, and the result is that contri
buttons are vastly limited
