STRAW FOR HoRsEs-The value of
straw as feeding substance was never
better proved than by the following fact:
A firm having large number of heavy
wagon horses, had frequent occasion for
the veterinary surgeon until they We're
recommended to mix certain portion
OF fine cut straw with the clover hay
This has been practiccd now for some
years and their bill for doctorng is at a
minimum. The partner of the firm, who
told me this, said how advantageous it
was not to be deprived as they formerly
were of several horses-to say nothing
of the saving III expense and loss. Tie
fact is, the food was too rich or too
mucilag ginous, for l have often been told
that fne hay unmixed with straw-chaff,
balls in the stomach, and thus is deprived
of action of the gastric juices We
know that too much succulent or rich
grasses are injurious aud no doubt straw
chat mixed with it acts mechanically, if
not chemically, with advantage. 1t
would be well for our agricultural friends
to know that for several thousand horses
belonging to the London General Omni-
BUS Company, the food is all passed
through the cutter, with, 1 believe,
certain proportion of straw. While
spring grazing our bullock stares, we
mix straw with it in their early growth,
but as they advance to their towering
aud podding, this is not required, because
there is much wheat and oats grown
with this, which gets iutermixed on
passing through the chaH-machine

dict that the coming Winter will be of
unusual rigor. To the West and North
west the beavers and prarie dogs have
commenced their preparations for frost
much earlier than is their wont; aud on
the Atlantic coast the frequent storms
are harbinScrs of the wruthful cold to
come. The Winter of 1859 60 was
remarkably mild, only parallelcd by the
Winters of 1892, % and "a. Since
1859 GO the years have been quite warm,

What Planters Should Do With
Their Money.

The "New Orleans Picayune" expects
planters to have surplus of money at
the end &C this season. I: advises them
how to spend it:
The planter should determine to in.
crease the wealth of his plantation, and
consequently his own. Should he do it
merely by expensive building, he may
not effect this; for if his land becomes
poor, purchasers will not buy merely to
enjoy his builds.
But fine improves the fertility of his
land, and though this may not be needed,
procures the means for the most thorough
cultivation and the most economical saw
ing of the crops, set out standard fruit
trees of the best and most profitable sorts,
ect., he-will effectually add permanent
value to his property, which will adhere
to it though adverse seasons mny tenn
porarily tend to dishearten him.
So the merchant aud trades,nan should
invest of their net gains in railroads,
factories, and other enterprises in their
respective localities, thus increasing their
real estate, which they certainly should
acquire, and add to the business prosperi-
ty and acceptabilty to traders of their
respective localities.
One of the faults of the Southern
people has been their indisposition to
make local improvements, and to build
up their fortunes at their respective
homes. They make n,nuey, but they
lose it; they are flush for while, but
soon they are borrowing again.
The farm of the planter, and the city
of the merchant alike show improvidence
and their fortunes are not pcrennian but
merely annual plants, and the seed in
perpetual danger of being lost. Well for
them, indeed that it hapbens not, that
like Jonah's gourd, these may spring up
some day and Houish awhile, and then
die suddenly from lack of soil and excess
of heat upon it.
We must amend this. We must begei
u spirit of home improver ert both in
country and city, in the former by max
ing our lands richer or developing and
refining their riches, and in the latter by
bringing into them railways and promot
ing manufactures within them
Then may we put for our respective
use 'palatial residences" but palaces dc
not bcft deserts or soltudes, and these
we will make of our plantations and
towns if we continue impervious to tho
demands of Improvement and enterprise

Ice MoUNTAIN IN WEST VIRGINIA.
On the east bank of the North river in
Hampshire county, West Va, is perhaps
one of the greatest curiosities in the
State. 1t is literally an Ice Mountain,
in heigh. froi, 400 TO 500 feet. The
Western side of this mountain is covered
with loose stone, of a light color from
base to summit. By removing the stone
pure solid crystal ice can be found in
the warmest days of summer, and it has
been found there as late as the middle of
September. 1t may exist throughout
the entire year If the rocks were removed
to sufficient depth. What seems
strange is that the side of the mountain
where the ice is found is exposed to the
sun throughout the day, aud it is said
that the sun does not have as much eff
feet in melting the ice as continuous
rains. At the base of this mountain is
spring Of water very clear and cold
Some years ago, the owner Of the pro-
perty removed tho stone and erected q
small log dairy or spring house in which
meats can be kept at any season as safe
ly as they can be preserved in an ice
house. Flies aud snakes sometimes find
their way into the spring house where
they immediately become chilled and
torpid. On being removed, they soon
recover life and motion. This celebrated
mountain is situated 2G miles northeast
of Winchester and 1G miles east of Rom.

Death of George Peabody.

A cable dispatch this morning an
nounces the death of the eminent philnn-
thropist, George peab"dy, an announce
mcnt which will be received with the
deepest regret wherever his name aud
benevolent deeds have become known,
aud nowhere more so than in Baltimore.
The dispatch is dated London, Novem-
ber 4th, midnight, and was received here
about eleven o'clock LIST evening. con-
veying simply the statement that George
Peabody died at ia o'clock p. NJ,
which hour, nllnwins for the difference
Of time, was about the same us eight
O'Clock in Baltimore.
Mr.. Peabody was born in Danvers.
Mass, February Is, 1895. He was the
son ct poor parents, and his early cduca-
ton was acquired in the district schools.
He was placed rs assistant to grocer in
his town at the age of eleven aud in his
sixteenth year went to Newburyport as
clerk for his elder brother, who had
opened II dry goods store there. This es-
tabli,hment being burned down, he went
with an uncle to Georgetown ID. c..
where, for the following two years, the
business was conducted in his name
though a minor. In 1914 he withdrew
from the business and became n PARTNER
of MIR. Elisha Riggs, in the wholesale
dry goods trade. MIR Riggs furnished
the necessary capital aud intrusted the
management 70 Mr.. Peabody. The next
year the house WIS removed to this city
Here it attracted large business, and
in 1922 branch houses were established
in New York aud Philadelphia. Mr..
Peabody's first visit to Europe was in
1927, gazing to buy goods. In 1920,
Mr. Riggs retired, aud Mr. Peabody be-
| came senior partner in the house
On his visits to Europe the State of
Maryland repeatedly entrusted him with
important negotiations, which were inva-
bly, conduct, d with success. In 1887 he
took up his permanent residence in Eng
land, and III 1S43, having Withdrawn
IRON the firm of Peabody. Riggs e. Co,
he established himself in London as n
merchant and banker. Ii exertions are
said to have contributed greatly to main
tanning the confidence in American re-
sponsibility which had well nigh failed
in the disastrous period Of 1897, and his
repeated and important favors in this re-
spect to the State of Maryland were
gratefully acknowledged, but he refused
all compensation for them. In 1856 Z
he gave the sum of $500 900. with a
pledge to Increase it to $500, 900, to
found an institute in Baltimore (uow
known us the Peabody Institute) for the
promotion of science, literature aud the
fine arts. He subsequently increased it
to 81 ,000.000, and more recently added
the sum of $4,000 ir Virginia and
Tennessee bonds
