refused tract and said he wanted no Bible; he
did what was right and had no fear.
Another liquor seller seemed troubled at the

MORE ABOUT POTATOES.

Farmers have been using potatoes as
food for stock good many years with
varying. but generally satisfactory re-
suits. We have sometimes found po-
tatoes very valuable food, especially for
mich cows and growing stock. A few
potatoes daily, with other food, are gen.
orally believed to improve digestion aud
keep the bowels in proper condition.
We doubt whether any farmer ever
thought a mos crate supply of potatoes
hurtful. Occasionally, in excessive
quantities, or with animals exceptional
ly liable to laxatiyeness, potatoes may
have proved injurious, but he must be an
extremely ignorant farmer who would
promulgate general rule from these
exceptional cases that potatoes always
impair digestion. Potatoes given to an
animal heretofore unused to such food
might cause tito "scour." and thus pass
other food imperfectly digested. Some
animals of laxative habit may never be
able to eat potatoes without injury.

ENOUGH OF PATENT HIVES

Mr.. Clark has devoted much time for
the past ten years to the honey bee and
its ways, and has as he SAYS. fool
ed with good many kinds of patent hives
with which he has become disguised and
has abandoned, and which any one may
have for oven wood if they will haul them
out OF his yard. After this experience
he has settled down upon a simple hive
OF his own make as the best one he has
ever seen; and his opinion in this mat.
ter co-incides with that OF eyery sensible
bee-keeper with whom we ever talked
that the simplest hive is tie best. and
that the nearest and most satisfactory an
proach to this is q square box which 4
swarm OF bees will till. the hive which
Mr.. Clark now uses is - inches SQUARE
by IA inchhs deep inside, provided with
anexceilent feeding arrangement. ample
means for ventilation, and three hollow
bars In the center of the box, throuph
which the bees can pass and repass al
pleasure. He winters his bees ont Of
doors. the hives being on a bench six or
eight inches from the ground, over which
is placed box four or five inches larger
than the hive, and one foot higher: the
space above the hive being crowded full
of straw. The top of the outside box is
made water Right. In the Spring this
straw will be found all rotten, but the

POTATOES FOR HORSES.

Ionce came near loosing very valua-
BILE horse from feeding him dry hay
and oats with nothing loosening. have
never believed in dosing horse with
medicine, but something is actually nee.
essary to keep horse in the right con-
dition. Many use powders, sbut po.a-
toes are better, and safer, and cheaper,
if fed judiciousiy. If those who are not
in the habit of feeding potatoes to horses
will try them. they will be astonished st
the result. Ihave known horse changed
from a lazy dumpish one, to quick,
active headstrong animal, in five days,
by simply adding two quarts OF potatoes
to his iced daily. If very much clear
corn meal is fed, they do not need SO
many potatoes Too many potatoes are
weakening, and SO are too many apples.
When | was a lad, l was away from
home at school one winter, and had the
care OF one horse, one yoke OF oxen, and
one COW, every one OF which l had to
card or curry every day. The horse had
three pals of water, four quarts OF oats.
two quarts of small potatoes. and two
quarts OF corn extra every day he worked
with what hay he wanted, and stronger
and more active horse of his inches,
have never yet seen.

MEASURING HAY IN BULK.

SO many things have to be taken into
consideration in calculatin the weiehtg
Of hay in bulk it makes it difficult to get
at it precisely. For example: fine, new
mown hay, like red-top or herd-gr
would probably require 500 cubic feet
for the ton; timothy, $50; clover, $50 !;
coarse meadow hay, 700 or more. After
being stacked 80 days the bulk would
be decreased from five to ten per cent.
possibly more, according to the size OF
the stack and the pressure upon if.
Again. hay will vary somewhat in
measurement according to the time it is
cut. Ii this be done when it is just COM
ing into blossom, as it always should. it
will pack closer and weigh more per
cubic foot than if lett till the seed begins
to ripen, AMI the safks and leaves have
grown coarser and become drier. Good
JUDI ment aud some experience in meas.
uring and weighing is required to get at
this correctly. A neighbor of mine in
forms me that ha once had the curiosity
to weigh his timothy hay as he put it
into the barn in July. He sold it about
nine months after, and on reweighinp it
as Ii came out of the barn he found.
greatly to his surprise. that it had shrunk
to within fraction OF % per cent. This
may aid your inquirer.

BEER OR BRANDY.

The difficulty Of obtaining spirits in
Russia has naturally driven the poorer
classes to the beershops, and thus in
furious alcohol has been advantageous
~ supplanted by cheap and wholesome
beer. Now however, it is proposed to
tax this beer so heavily that the poor
will no longer be able to buy it. They
will, there ore, resume their former
habits, and brandy will again become the
popular drink. Ihisis evidently grave
error. We are not surprised at the loud
expressions of disappointment which
reach US from Russia. In that country,
as elsewhere drunkenness is fertile
source of crime; and taking the vast
empire of Russia all in all, crime has in
creased in the year 1874 to the extent of
eight per cent, when compared with the
previous year. There were altogether
is, asa persons transported to Siberia
in 1878, and 1862 in 1874. The in
crease of crime is not, however, very
general. In ten provinces there has
been notable decrerse as, TOR instance
in Vitebsk, where the numbers have
fallen from 351 to lis. In ten other
provinces there has been SO great an in
crease that it is impossible not to suspect
political cause, particularly as these en-
brace the territories inhabited by the
Cossacks. who have recently manifested
decided objection to being enrolled in
the regular army. The other provinces
remained stationary in this respect, each
convicting about the same number of
criminals during the last two years. To
transport ,6O2 persons in the course OF
one year is task which may make even
the Russian government reflect, notwith-
standing its anxiety to roloniZe the bar
rem snow clad plains Of Siberia. Under
these circumstances, we are surprised
that the law on the sale of beer should
not have been subjected to more search
ing criticism before it was promulgated,

Wolf teeth.-There are two or three diff
ferent diseases Of the air passages of
similar character, all of which are erro-
neously classed under the denomination
of heaves. These cases are often con-
founded one with another by men who do
not know the difference, or the import

NAV be attributed the many failures in
treatment. The diseases which l allude
to are broken wind, thick wind, roaring,
whistling hay asthma, heaves, etc. The
two latter are however, very much alike
In their nature and causes and require the
same curative remedies. Heaves is
complicated disease of the digestive and
respiratory organs. In the majority OF
these cases the cause may be traced to a
functional arrangement of the digestive
organs-bronght on from feeding i'm
proper provender-mow-bu hay,
musty oats, etc. Those cases are always
aggravated by dust on the road impure
air, atmospheric charges, etc. In the
treatment of this disease tits essentially

to the dieting OF the animal-feod of the
very best quality, fed regularly, and in
limited quantities. Green food. carrots,
potatoes, soaked oats, etc. For medical
treatment administer a cathartic, which

effect. 2. Many different methods of
