Feeding Horses During Winter.

\ horse, most horSemen and farmers
know, will eat twenty hours out Of the
twentyfour, if he only has something to
eat but this winter tile plan must be
changed, and horses must eat what they
have to eat in three hours, resting twenty
one. That they will be in better condition
for so doing, no one will deny. And if the
light hay crop the present season but
teaches farmers the correct mode OF feeding
horses, it will give something in compensa-
ton for what it has withheld. Upon this
matter let Us hear the opinion of ian old
sta@er.'
Mr. W. T. Blunt Of Anson, better known
to the staging fraternity of twenty years
ago as "Billy Blunt" by which familiar
name he is yet called-Whose knowledge Of
the horse is second to that of few men in
the State, says that with nine pounds of
hay and three quarts Of meal per day, he
can make 4 horse gain in flesh all winter !;
not 4 horse that IL standing still but one
that is worked all the time. Weigh the hay
few times so as to take it up about three
pounds at a-time shake this lightly into a
tight hoX-crib, aud sprinkle thoroughly with
cold water, then throw over it 4 quart of
meal three times day, at regular hours.
ANY horse put upon this fare and fed uni
lormly, will gain steadily, and perform an
amount of work that surprises those accus-
toned TO feed large measures Of hay and
grain. The present winter will be a good
time to try this plan, especially as most
farmers will be forced to take some such
course on account of the small bulk of hay
SecDred. The exact cost of Wintern9
horse under this regime can be aScnrtained
in two minutes. 1T Will be found to he
fnnch less than they would think. Maine

The pastor was about 10 reproach his
nelghbor mildly for his want of true Chris

out
There's Carl See, there he comes
Oh thank heaven that he has returned ~
In moment the young man made his
way through the crowd to where the pas
tor, Maria, and his father stood
Where have you been 50 long, my
son 7" asked the pastor, reaching the
young man his hand, while Maria. in her
joy, threw herself into his arms.
I'm Griefswald," replied Carl, nearly
overcome with fatigue
''And you return alone ?" asked his
father 'Then you succeeded in persuad-

Staff and Carlsen. and concluded by as

AN INTERESTING DECISION. A judicial
decision, involving several curious points,
has Just been rendered by a court in Bal
timore. 1t appears that farmer named
Simon kept a couple OF savage dogs on
his place, chainiug them during the day
time, but turning them loose during the
night. The little daughter OF Il customer,
on going to the farm in the@vening for
milk was attacked by the dogs and seri
ously mangled, whereupon the father
brought suit against Simon tor damages.
The defence showed that the dogs did not
belong to the defendant, but were the
property of a neighbor, and were simply
Kept on the place to keep off trespassers;
hence, the defendant was not responsible
for the injuries inflicted. The court, how
ever, held that if trespass is committed
upon premises, the owner has redress in
a civil action, but has no right to keep on
his premises vicious animal, dangerous
to the public, or to set a man-trap or
spring-gun whereby injury may come to
his neigbors; and no matter whether de-
fendant owned the vicious dogs or not.
the premises were his and the animals
were harbored by him, thereby rendering
him liable under the law

To show the travail Of the soul

We clasp, are none of which when swells
The happy song of the redeemed
Shall hold the martyrs immorteles,
For 10 we pass unrecOgnized
Those unto whom our Lord shall say,
Through tribulations grievous path
Ne walked unto the perfect day.
They gather with us at the hearth;
We meet them in the lane and street;
Their browS perhaps are ever clear,
Their smiles are ever calm and sweet;
We walk beside the feet that late
Have trod the souls Gethsemane,
And fail TO mark upon the brow
The traces of the agony.
When all the nations of the earth
In EIeaven's courts shall gathered be,
How many then about the throne
Shall marvel ..uch, and ioyfully,
To see among The waiting throng
While hallcluahs rise and blend.
With heavenly strains, upon loved brOwS,
The Martyrs ladcleSs crown descend.

ln-and-in Breeding.

During recent discussion in England, it
was stated that the most successful lines Of
short horns were those in which one animal
was the sire and of the dam also--thus
making the parents half-brother and sister
by the same sire out of different dams. This
system of breeding had produced some Of
the finest cattle in the country. 1t was also
said that where cattle were closely inbred
and preserved their constitution, they had
a tendency to lose color, save perhaps the
ears and to become winter

Shall Democrats Prevent Its Dis
solution.

The Cincinnati Convention was ex-
clusively Republican in all its parts.
It's leading thought, which is exempli-
fed by the nominations, was to shut
out every suspicion of Democratic con-
cert. TIL Q most influential minds
took care to burn that thought into
the brain of the Convention, and to
prescribe as unworthy of support any
candidate supposed to be acceptable
to the Democracy.
We have no complaint to make of
this exclusion, however Extensively it
may have been put. But we do claim
the right to say now, when appeals are
made for our votes, and Hercules is
called upon to help the WAGNER out of
the mud, that these opportunities
should be referred to the National
Convention. If there be Democrats
who are willing or anxious to sponge
out the record of their past lives to aid
in reconstructing the Republican party
as howers of wood and drawers oil
water, or who think it expedient to
endorse the Cincinnati ticket, let them
go to the Convention, as we propose to
do, and abide its decision in good faith
In the meantime, we recommend thu
policy Of reserve and prudence. I'm
