For horse feed, Indian corn possesses all
the elements of warmth and nutrition, and
is well caculsted TO supply the war and tear
of the system Of the hardest worked horse,
and keep him ina healtycondition, without
any assistance from oats but the usual adj
dition ofhAy should be allowed to horses,
whateyerbe the feed that is in use. By a
reference to the analysis of corn it will be
observed that there is little loss from
woody fibre or other inert substances. 1t
is this principle contained in corn that is
to be modified and corrected as feed, and
not to be added to be greater cOncentra-
ton of nutritive matter; or, in other
words, added to the corn materials that do
not contain, or at least but in small de-
gree, those powerful constituents that char
acterize Indian corn and for this purpose
we.will recommend that the corn be in
minute division, or ground into meal, to
insure greater diffusion in the stomach
and less concentration than would result
by feeding il whole, and not mixed with
extraneous matter, as cut hay, or chaff and
bran. The bran is to prevent, or at least
modify, the costive or binding and heating
effects of the corn; the chaff or cut hay is
to give sufficient bulk to the feed, thereby
keeping the bowels moist and the meal
from contraction. At the same time the
horse has feed before him of which he
can eat his fill without producing cramp
or collie, which often results from feeding
corn whole or in meal, without sufficient
mixture or bulk being given it. 1t is the
want of this knowledge, together with the
extra trouble In cutting hay and mixing
such @ feed, that forms the chief argument
of some stablemen against feeding with
corn and in favor of oats.
A carriage or saddle horse used for shop
ping or afternoon rides or drives can be
kept in excellent condition with six
pounds of corn meal three rounds of cut
hay, two quarts OF wheat bran and tea
spoonful of salt, mixed with warm water
in winter and cold in summer, the water
to DO just enough barely TO moisten the
mess and not to make soft feed or slop dis
turb the bowels of the horse, and unfit
him for exertion. The above named mess
is TO be divided into three feeds-for morn
ing, noon and evening. An addition OF
six or eight pounds of hay must also be
given in rack. These quantities, however
are merely approximate, for the old horse
and one OF harder work, will to keep him
in good condition, require an addition, and
young animals of less work will not re-
| quire so much. Draft and hard-worked
horses should be fed more generously, say
| fifteen to sixteen pounds of meal, with six
! TO eight pounds of cut hay, half peck OF
bran, and an extra allowance of hay in the
rack 1t night.
| This amount Of feed to saddle and car
riage horses is equivalent to about forty
| busheis OF corn, about two tons of hay and
1 twenty five bushels of bran per year, and
4 for draft horses one hundred bushels o.
| corn, about two tons OF hay, ninety-onC
bushels Of bran.-Dr. McCiure'S Stable

Saving Stock Rams.

1t is customary with most wool growers
at the time of trimming lambs, to save a
number of the mostpromising males with
| a view of their possible capabilities as
stock getters. Afterwards, when time has
developed their real qualities, they are
used or rejected as their merits become APP
parenl. ..,-t .rs.o ..sf
THE first and most important qualifi-
cation Of a stock ram is constitution. No
matter how perfect he may be in every
other particular, if he is defective in this
one point he is worthless. His stock will
be feeble, short-lived, poor breeders, and
always ailing. Constitution is to,be deter
mined by the full, robust, physical devel-
opment, the deep, full chest, giving ample
room for the vital organs; a uniform de-
velopment of all the parts, giving look
of strength and vigor. The ram should
not only be all right himself, but he should
come from healthy, vigorous, families on
both sides, else he may have lurking in
his system germs of weakness and disease,
to be developed in his stock.n
In size, strong ram, like that of bull
or stallion, should not be over'large, but of
the most perfect, ripe and symmetrical
form of his kind. He should exhibit a
masculinity of appearance, in both form
aud fleece, quite distinct from female of
the same breed. 4 ram with ewes fleece
or ewes face, would soon run flock of
sheep into the ground.

Wine Making.

Passing the warehouse in rear of Temple
Block, Market Square, We saw Mr.. Doussot
with several assistants busily expressing the
juice of the grape, while the heaps of choice
grapes which lay around reminded US of
what we had read of vineyards in sunny France,
but were larger than any we had ever seen be-
fore. The quantity of grapes raised this season
is so large that many of the grape raisers will
make considerable portion of their crop into
wine. t.i
Tho grapes we saw came from vineyard OF
Mr. Andrews, of New York, which had been
in the charge of Charles Seymour, Esq, for
some years. We are told that Judge Temple
proposed sending quantity of grapes to Mr..
Dolssot and that there were others also who
would probably send grapes in quantities
varying from 100to 1000 pounds.

all young. In nearly all cases this is the first

The +" Fultz +" Wheat.

This wheat is now largely sown in Milf
fin, Juniata, Lancaster and other counties
of PENNSYLVANIA, and the Agricultural De-
partEnent has ordered 200 bushels for dis
tribution. IT Is nearly smooth, sporting
boards occasionally very evenly six-row-
ed the straw stands well, the chaff very
close and adherefit, and it is said never to
have been affected by weevil; the grains
short and plump, and in color light dull
red or dark white. a friend who is well
acquainted with il and its history and
who can be implicitly credited, Mr.. j. X.

sent me an account of its origin and appre-

Lancaster Red. So Mr.. Detweiler sowed
of it again, about three acres in sandy
field. 1T stood up beautifully alongside of
the Lancasters and yielded 94lbushels of

On the limestone farms, its common

be three acres sown of it to one of other

the moon will not. Other opinions as to
the influence or the moon on matters con-
nected or relating TO agricultural pursuits
will readily suggest themselves to you.
Now it Is of the highest Importance to as
certain by experiment and Investigation
whether these opinions of the influence of
the moon on agriculture and vegetation
have any real solid foundation, or are mere
vague, foolish notions floating about
through our communities and country. 1t
is subject that not only excites great i'm
terest and curiosity in the mind, but is of
the highest practical importance. l can
not say that 1 am firm believer in the
great influences attributed to the moon, to
which have referred but / do not treat
with indifference or contempt the opinions
entertained by my fellow-men on any SUBJ
ject, however absurd or ridiculous they
may appear. DIR. Rush, the most celebrat-
ed physician that ever lived in the United
States, said he always listened patiently
and eheerfuily to any suggestions made to
him by the simplest people onsubjects con-
nected with his profession, and in this way
he sometimes learned many valuable
things that he could not learn from his
medical books.
Manyyears ago / was sitting talking with
q friend upon such subjects as sprung up
in our minds. A row of locust trees was
in view. He observed, We shall not have
much crops this year. Why? Don't you
see how few blooms there are on the locust
trees ? is that any sign? Oh yes, have al
ways been told and observed whenever
there are a profusion of locust blooms, we
have fine crops. L have never noticed
such profusion of locust blooms as APP
peared on the trees this season.
I. SO II is believed by many that the honey
dew on the leaves of trees indicate the
quantity and quality of the agricultural
crops of the season. / have been informed
by farmers that they never noticed more
honey dew than there was this season.

If the farmers generally would save their
clover seed it would save thousands of dollars
that are spent annually. Some do So but COM
paratively few save enough for their wants, TO
say nothing of supplying their neighbors. This
seed is high priced, and that there is good
profit in it is well known. Two enterprising
residents of this county, Messrs. Bird and Bet
wiler, of Beaver Creek, have combined clover
huller and thresher and will operate whenever
desired. Our farmers can save money by plant
ing and sowing seed of their own raising

A Short Sermon.

Here is bit Of philosophy worth read
ing. 1t is an exposure of a very common
delusion. 1t is good rendering of an old
idea:
"Two things ought to be strongly i'm
pressed upon young people of our country.
The insecurity of riches, even when ac-
quired, and the unsatisfying character.
There is no fallacy so universally cherished
as the notion that wealth is surely a means
of happiness. The care of large property
is one of the most burdensome of earth's
trusts. The only material good that comes
from an estate is to be made out of a mod
crate income far more easily than large
one, and with fewer attendant disadvan-
tages. Few thoughtful men would under
60 the entire stewardship of large estate
on positive bargain that they should re-
ceive no more for taking care of it than
ordinarily falls into the lap of the owner.
The scramble for wealth is due to a wrong
estimate of good when it is gained"

Clrcumstantlal Evidence.

The London Globe publishes statement
which is an illustration of the danger of re-
lying upon circumstantial evidence, even
when it approache es positiveness. Agentle-
man went to the British Museum with a
case opened, containing some valuable
medals, for his inspection. He examined a
particular medal, which was supposed to
be unique, restored it to the tray, and af-
ter talking some time with the custodian,
was about to leave, when the latter dis
covered that the medalwas missing.
1t was searched for everywhere, and
could not be found, when it was suggested
that the pockets of the visitor should be
examined. To this he objected, and po-
liceman was sent for. However, before he
arrived, the medal was found to have slip
ped between the tray and the bottom of the
case. When asked why he refused to be
searched, the supposed culprit produced a
m edal from his pocket, the exact counter
part Of that which was in the case, remark
cd that his object had been to verify the
authenticity of his own, which being iden
tical with the missing one and discovered
in his pocket, would at once have convic
| ted him Of the theft.

the alphabet except the letter ]. The fin
est chapter to read is the 26th chapter of
the Acts of the Apostles. The 10Th chap

are alike. The longest verse is the 9Th
verse in the 8th chapter of Esther. The
shortest verse is the 35th verse of the 18th
chapter of st. John. The Sth, 10Th, and

A Good Joke.

cruel, perhaps to specify certain Virgin
ia battalion in General Heth's d vision,
A. N. ", which made his name more no.
torious than respected throughout the
army for never making stand in action, OF
doing anything else it was ordered to do.
Every appliance of discipline was exhaust
ed by General Lee to force his unreliable
corps up to the standard of Its duty, but
without avail the stuff of which soldiers
are made was not in it. One of the men
belonging toit was once walking on one of
the roads near Petersburg in the winter of
'64, quietly giggling and laughing to him
self, as if his soul was in secret feasting on
some very choice morsel of fun or fortune.
Some one who met him inquired the occas-
ion of his mirth.
"We've got one Of the best jokes on
General Lee you ever heard Of" said the
fellow.
How's that? 2" asked the other.
Why, you see he's just issued an order
for our battalion flag to be taken from us,
when the Yankees took it from us two
months ago in the fight at Hatcher's Run. "

Some Ancient Discoveries.

A Jewish rabbi in Richmond writes to
the Dispatch that the lightning rod of our
times was known in the thirteenth century
and quotes from a work extant in 1901 the
following; "If you want to prevent the
thunders from destroying your castle, then
put on your roof metal wires and it will be
saved" But more remarkable is this
about the telegraph, which Jewish exile
from Spain in 140s wrote: "We have
good proof (for an invisible connection) in
the magnet stone. If you break this stone
into two parts( positive and negative), and
you lay one part on one side, even that
they are separate by "a wire off iron, then
every movement which you make on one
side win be visible on the other in the same
movement"

Every Mind Has lis Special Capacity.

] am of the opinion that every mind that
ity-is different from every other mind;
that each of you brings into the world a
certain bias, disposition to attempt some
thing of its own, something your own-an
aim a little different from that of any Of
your companions; and that every young
man and every young woman is a failure
so long as each does not find what is his or
her own bias; that just so long as you are
influenced by those around you, SO long as
you are attempting to do those things
which you see others do we'll instead of
doing that which you can do well, you are
so far wrong, SO fa- failing of your own
right mark. Everybody sees the difference
in children. They very early discover their
tastes. One has taste for going abroad,
another for staying at home; one for books,
another for games; one wishes to hear sto-
res, another wants to see things done; one
is fond of drawing, and another cannot
draw at all, but he can make machine.
This difference, as you advance, becomes
more pronounced You are more distinct
in your conception of what you can do
more decided in avoiding things which you
cannot and do not wish to do Now, l
conceive the success is in finding what it is
that you yourself really want, and pursu-
ing it; freeing yourself from all importun-
tiles of your friends to do something which
they like, and insisting upon that thing
which you like and can do.-Enserso1.

man of leisure, keeping prosperous bank
account, borrowing money, and frequenting
Mrs. Clem's house in an unexplained, not
to say mysterious, manner. Then there
was a DIR. Duzan, a highly respectable
physician, about whom there was some
queer evidence. He had known Mrs. Glenn
from childhood and was her family physi-
clan. Mrs. Glen, before her arrest testi-
fed before the grand jury that she had
never had any financial relations with DR..
Duzan and he swore that he never had any
business with and did not know Young.
In the course of the trial it was shown that
Mrs. Glenn was constantly borrowing mon
ey of the Doctor on short time and at
high rates of interest, and that at one time
these loans reached as high as $780, 900; that
when DR.. Duzan drew any sum of conse-
quence from his bank, Young deposited a
like sum in his bank the same day; that
the reverse also was true when Young drew
out and Duzan deposited. What was the
nature of these pecuniary transactions no
body but the parties concerned know; and
why it was necessary that the account
should be closed by the murder of Young
and his wife by Mrs. Glen or her brother
OF Abrams is still more inexplicable
That it has something to do with it, how
ever, is apparent. The murder was COM
mitted on the 18th. On the 14th Young
had to meet payments in the bank OF
%07 000 nu1on taet;fiad tbat four on n 1,o
days before Mrs. Glenn had come to him in
great distress of mind and begged for $22,-
900. He could not accommodate her. OF
course she could not help Young, if that
that does not seem a good reason for killing
him. One witness swore that Mrs. Glen
said on the morning of the murder that
Young had just given her $4,000. But
this seems very improbable story, for will
that sum and the $1,000 in his pocket
Young could have met his liabilities two
days later, and with that sum between
them, Mrs. Glenn would have been under
no necessity of going to Duzan and beg
ging, in great distress of mind and in tears
that he would lend her $22, 900, for the
want of which she would be under the dis
agreeable necessity of killing Young ant
his innocent wife, Or having them killed by
somebody else in her presence. DR.. Duzan''
share in the business may have been only
to lend money to the others at exorbitan
interest, but what the nature of these
transactions was by which the other parties
one of them woman acting without the
knowledge of her husband, the others
poor laboring men-should have suddenl,
grown rich and all have become so involved
that it was necessary to kill off one of tht
partners, is altogether mysterious, and fo
which there seems to be no satisfactor,
theory.
