CouGnINa UoRsks.-It is wei. known
that feeding horses on clover hay often
makes them cough, but the why and wherefore
may not be generally known. From
observation / have become satisfied that
the manner of feeding hay to horses is the
cause. Tho usual custom is 10 let them
draw it through rack, thus stripping off the
fine dust which adheres to the stalk, which,
being drawn into the lungs in respiration,
produces cough. Ths cure consists in
removing the cause, that is, the racks, and al
lowing the animals to take their food in
their natural way. lhave removed all of
mine. aud now feed my horses on the barn
floor, having a breastwork sufficiently high
for :hem to eat over. In this way they can
be fed hay without raising a dust, they get
mono under their feet, and the labor Of
cleaning out managers is saved. Whatever
10 left is easily pushed out with rake into
the yard for the cattle. The dust on the hay
will do the horses no harm if taken into 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 it freely.-Country Gen,

Qurcks1LvER.-Some months ago Mr. j. D.
Abbott found Indications OF quicksilver
about three miles from Sulphur Springs.
He took up some claims and went to work,
and in very few days struck we'll defined
lode. An extension was then taken up and
a tunnel started, and ten days work struck
the same ledge about thousand feet from
Abbot!'s location. The cinnabar taken out
will yield about thirty per cent. of pure quickl
silver. Mr.. Abbott is now building cabin
TO live in during the winter, and will put in
more work on it soon. There has been
great deal of floating cnnabar found in that
vicinity and considerable work has been done
in hunting ledge, but this is The first time
any solid ledge has been found. From tbs
present prospect, it cannot but prove good.
