this threat and when did he make it?"
asked the attorney.

Treating the Wrong disease.

Many times women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia another with
palpitation, another with trouble of the breast
another with pain here and there, and in this
way they all present alike to themselves anu
their easy-going and Indifferent DOCTORS sepa-
rate and distinct diseases, for which he pre-
scribes his pills and potions, assuming them to
be such, when, in reality, they are all symp-
toms caused by some uterine disorder; and
while they are thus only able perhaps to palli-
ate for time, they are ignorant of the cause,
and encourage their practice until large bills
are made, when the suffering patients are no
better in the end, but probably worse for the
delay, treatment, and other complications
made, and which proper medicine directed to
the cause would have entirely removed, there
by instituting health and comfort instead of
prolonged misery.

Hints on Feeding Meal to Cows.

The following valuable article, from
the pen of Mr.. L. B: Arnold, We find in
the columns of the Live Stock Jour
nal
The stomach of ruminant animals is
compound organ. 1t is divided into
four compartments. When grass, hay,
or any coarse food is eaten by the rum
inant, it passes, after a partial mastica-
ton, down the esophagus, or meat-pipe,
and is lodged in the rumen, or first
stomach, commonly called the pauuch.
It is retained in this receptacle as
reservoir till the animal has leisure to
remasticate it. It does not lie at rest,
but is constantly stirred up and kept in
motion by the peristaltic action of the
sack that contains it, and is mixed and
softened with mucus by this means,
and by a moderate fermentation, pre-
paration is made for the work of diges-
ton, if it is not in the strictest sense
actually here begun. For the purpose
of recuscitation, according to YOuatt, it
is gradually moved into the second
stomach, q honey-comb bag, and then,
by a spasmodic motion, to tue mouth.
After sufficient mastication, it is swal-
lowed again, but instead of going back
to the place from which it was raised, or
to the receptacle where it went the first
time it was swallowed, it now goes, ac-
cording to the authority just cited, to
the third stomach, or maniplus, where
it undergoes a further and material
change, and thence to the last division,
or fourth stomach, where the process of
digestion is completed.
Though digestion proper is only car
ried on in the fourth division of the
stomach, it is evident that the action of
the other divisions of that compound
organ is useful to the digestive process,
or they would not have been placed
where they are. That the changes
wrought upon the food in passing
through the several divisions, hasten
and perfect the action of the true
Cfourth0 stomach, can hardly be ques-

''One travelling, as I have done,

How to Handle Frightened Horses.

nO" w ndAAAS G44ShSCACu hOAoSSs
Almost invariably the damage done
by frightened horses is directly trace
able t. ipjudicious management. In
the first place, the idea of forcing a
horse to "get used" to something he is
frightened at, is all wrong. If horse
is afraid of the cars or any other object,
the only way to cure him of it is by de-
erees. Drive or hitch him a safe dis
lance from them, where he can see them,
and pay as little attention to him as
possible. Don't make anything of the
matter yourself, and he will gain conf
dence very rapidly. When your horse
is frightened, never display any.fear or
nervousness yourself, and make the mat
ter as light as possible. If you make
great demonstration about holding him,
it is certain to magnify the cause in the
mind of the horse. Never let you horse
see that you are afraid of him, nor try
to cure his fear by rough treatment,
for either cause will be certain to in
crease his fear. Be firm, calm and kind,
and you will be astonished at your own
success. Many horses are disagreeable
drivers from the habit of shying at OBJ
jects on the roadside or in passing an
other vehicle; this is in most cases a
mere habit and can be quickly cured,
simply by making the horse ashamed of
his own fear. When a horse SHES, if
the circumstances will possibly admit
of it, DO not pay the least attention to
it, do not pull him severely on the rein,
and never hit him with the whip when
past the object, but let the lines remain
loose and let him shy as far as he
pleases without any apparent attention.
No other cause that we have tried will
so quickly and effectually cure horse
of this disagreeable md sometimes
dangerous habit. In case of a runaway,
dangerous results can often be averted
by quiet calmness, and seeking to re-
store your control by degrees, instead
of by some sudden exertion. Never
halloa, or by any means let the horse
know you are afraid, although there
may be ample cause for it. The horse
deserves credit for more knowledge, af-
lection, AMI memory than is generally
given to him.-OhiO Farmer.

NIL DEsPERANDUM.-A real healthy
man or woman is a rarity; and what
wonder when we realize that it is the
custom to overload the stomach, and
then produce chronic disease by the use
of spirituous liquors, tonics, appetizers,
restoratives, etc. Having first produced
disease by indiscretion, the victim won
ders why nothing does him good. Just
SO; and the reason is that they all, OF
nearly all, find basis in alcohol-or
poison. To all thus discouraged, we
can conscientiously say, "make one
more trial" Discard spirituous medi-
cines, and give nature a chance, aiding
her in the struggle by using one of her
own pure and unauthorized herb RENE
dies, in the shape of Vinegar Bitters.
The discoverer, DIR. J. Walker of Cali
fornia, is no pretender, but an honor
able practicing physician, and his dis
covery is the result of years of labor
and study. The wonderful cures effec-
ted ' y them of dyspepsia, fevers, rheu-
matism, and many other terrible dis
eases, are almost incredible.

Cut Feed for Horses

The Spirit of the Times protests
against the use of cut feed, although
many excellent horsemen use it with
the most satisfactory results That pa
per says 60 We never have believed and
never shall believe that chopped hay
and corn meal, saturated with water, is
proper for working horse as a general
diet. We firmly believe that the food
of a working horse who cannot be pas
tured should be good sound oats and
sweet hay for at lest five days in q
week. Look at the south, where the
common run of working horses are fed
on corn. What is found there? Why,
the big head, terrible and almost in
durable complaint. We also think that
wet corn-meal is the very worst way of
feeding corn to horse that ever was
practiced. And the chopped wet hay
is not half so good as fine, bright tim
othy from the NOV. We like to hear
the horse grinding up his good timothy
hay like grist mill, after he has fin
ished his oats. A nice mash once in a
while is good, and very different thing
from almost constant soft diet"
