Water for Horses.


Mr.. b. OARTLKDaE, of Sheffield, a
member Of the Royal Veterinary College,
calls attention TO the very common mis-
take made by Keepers Of horses IN limit
ing the supply of water to their animals
Many owners Of horses, most grooms,
and others who have the charge Of them,
profess, he Gays, "to know how much
water a horse ought to be allowed, and,
when poor, thirsty, over-driven animal
arrives at his journeys end, he is treated
to a very limited supply, and the pail is
taken away before its necessity is half met.
1t is a mistaken notion that cold water
frequently produces "colic" have
known it cure the disease. When cold
water does cause abdominal pain, it is
from long abstinence, and when the horse
dIiaks-to-excess. But even this is rare.

trough meet ON the road, if the water
be clean, and, in my own stud, never
had case OF collie. At home, my horses
always have water before them. A friend
of mine, to whom, the other day, gave
this advice, directed his servant to adopt
it. The servant shook his head, and said,
che thought he knew as well as Mr.. Cart
ledge when his horses required water and
how much." The owner, in reply, told
his servant that might be so, and he must
allow his horses to drink as often and as
freely as he did himself-EngIish Farm

The Washington Election.


THE Times is sorely exercised because
three negroes, waiter, bootback and
barber were elected TO the Common
Council Of Washington. II thinks that
"as Common Councils average, the one at
Washington will not suffer from the char
acter Of its new members" SO long as
negroes wore chained in slave peps, the
7EmrS was silent and satisfied The negro
was then fulfilling his divine mission, ac-
eording to Democratic theory, The
Times consoles itself and friends with the
reelection that possibly the good old sys
tenn will come back again. When," it
says, THE Democratic party shall once
moro be in power, 1t will restore these
Washington boolblaclSs TO their normal
condition"
Such 10 the aim and aspiration of the
Democracy. There is no striving for the
good which progress has in store for us.
On the contrary, the members Of that
party are constantly turning from the
results already attained, signing like n
furnace for the vicious evils of the past.
If they could they would bring back the
| old slave regime, with all it's horrors and
! desslauons, But there is no cause of
| apprehension, for such catastrophe is
not in the range of the possible. - Chicago

Sore Backs on Horses.

A STRONG horse with a sore bNck is fire.
quently shorn of half his strength. A
sore back is usually the result of a misera-
BILE harness. Yet in many instances, the
back band is made too short, or is buckled
up too tight, so that the traces at the back
band are raised above = direct line from
the names to the whiffle.tree. When this
is the case, the back-band, when the horse
draws, is pressed down with force on the
back; and unless the pad is soft, or the
harness be made with a patent back, a
wound will be made, which will be diff
cult to heal, so long as the harness that
made the wound Is employed on the
animal. When horse has a sore back,
and it seems necessary to keep him in
the harness, let the back band be removed
entirely; or -let 1t be heightened, and
fastened few inches back of the wound.
1t will be very easy to determine
whether back band is liable to injure
the animals back, by observing, when he
draws, whether the portion of the harness
directly above the back is drawn down
forcibly or is lifted clear from the back.
A wound on the back of horse is fire.
quently irritated 80 long by the rough har-
ness that it becomes almost incurable. A
fresh wound, if not kept bleeding by the
rubbing of the harness, will heal in two
or three weeks in warm weather without
any other medicine than soapsuds. But
an old wound that has tried to heal after
the scab has been rubbed off several times
requires an application of burnt alum,
pulverized, to cleanse it of the "proud
flesh" The best remedy is preventive
The driver is the one ON whom the blame
should rest, for allowing horse to have
n sore back. If the harness is not right,
let it be made right before horse
is required to work in it. 1t is bar.
barous to work an animal in harness
that will gall the flesh. Better cut an old
collar and harness into fragments, and
bury the pieces beneath grape vine,
than to continue to use such fixtures as
will wound faithful beast of burden
Furthermore, when sore back has been
allowed to ulcerate, frequently dischargine
ichorous matter, one of the most effica
cious remedies is, to battle the wound fol
two successive hours In strong soapsuds
every day, and after the bathing, wash
the affected part with a solution of salt
petre and spirits of turpentine, prepared
as follows: Put one-quarter of pound
of saltpetre and half pint of turpentine
into bottle; shake up well before using

Curing Hay.

= EXPERIENCE proves that grasses should
be cut for hay when the stalks are in
bloom. The best time of all, both for clo-
yer and other grasses, is Just when In full
bloom, and the earliest blossoms are be-
ginning to fade. II not too heavy It can
then be cut in the morning, and, If care
fully scattered, can be hauled into the
barn in the afternoon of the same day.
This makes the best quality of hay. 1t
retains more Of the nutrinIeRt Of grass
Than if it is left exposed to dews and rains
for a few days, and goes much further
both for, .fattening stock and producing
milk. But when the grass is very heavy
and is cut with moving scythe and
thrown into heavy swaths or rowe, it will
not cure thoroughly under two days, and
is not so. good for food as that cured and
put away in one day, Dew and moisture
always effect the fibre Of cut grass, and
weaken the strength of the hay. They
also injure and destroy the sugary matter
contained in the stems, and render them
dry and tasteless. When a branch of hay
Ncan be twisted tight without showing
moisture or juice it is dry enough to be
slowed away. A little salt scattered over
hay which has been caught in showers
will improve it, aud render 1t more plata.

Hon. E. u. Wasbburne's Successor In
Congress.

SPEARING OF the Hon. Horatio g. Burch.
ard, of Freeport, ILL.,, recently elected by
the Republicans of the Third Illinois Dis.
ttict to succeed Hon E u. Washburne in
Congress, the Galcpa Gazette says he Is
native of the State OF New York, and Is
about forty years of age When young
man he emigrated TO the Northwest, and
has been a resident of Freeport fDt many
years. He is a lawyer by profession, and
Is also interested in the hardware trade in
Freeport, in partnership with his brother.
A gentleman Of fine education and natural
ability, he has taken a leading position at
the Stephenson county bar. In his
younger days he was School Commissioner
Of Stephenson county, was elected 10 the
State Legislature in 1862, unanimously re.
nominated and re elected ia 1854, but de-
clined TO be a candidate in 1896 He is a
leading member of the Board of Trustees
of the State Industrial School, and has
been largely instrumental in inaugurat!ng
Its present successful plan OF operations.
As a Representative in the Legislature,
Mr.. Burchard earned an excellent reputa-
tion as n man of ability and incorruptible
integrity, voting steadily and persistently
against every scheme of corruption and
ring legislation. During the exciting
contest over the nomination for Congress,
when every objection that could be urged
against the various candidates was
Brought to light, not stain could le
found upon Mr.. Burchsrd's public record.
He enjoys tho highest esteem aud the M
limited confidence of those who know him
best. This is attosted by the fact that at
the County Convention, in his own county,
he was the choice of seventy delegates out
of cighty.fve. ',f
Two elements of Mr., Washburnes sue
cess In Congress are possessed by Mr..
,Burchard in a large degree, viz. persist
ent industry and perseverance, and the
strictest honesty of purpose. In Congress,
his vote will uniformly be cast against ex.
travagant appropriations of the public
money and against every scheme of swind-
ling, in whatever form It may be present
cd. His habits of industry and of pushing
to a successful issuo whatever he under
takes, aside from his ability, will render
him strong in the committe room, and will
give him power and influence in the
National Legislature. -.frf,uf .f.g.E-.
