Care Of Oar Hsrses.

"a merciful man is merciful to his
beast" and it is not the amount of food
and care given to the horse tina. insures
his health and good condition, but the
times. and manner of application. There
are times when a horse should have full
feed, and other times when he should
have q small one. The heaviest feed
should be in the evening when his days
work is done. His appetite is then graf
fled; he lies down to rest and will most
likely lie down till morning. By the
time his food is digested his system is
rested-he gets up refreshed with good
appetite. His morning meal should not
be an over full one-not so full as that
of the previous evening. He should be
driven or worked moderately for the first
hour or two. After that his speed or
labor may be increased, If there is any
urgent necessity for it. His midday
meal should be smaller than than of his
morning or evening-it should be the
smallest meal of the day, and he will be
able to travel or work on it during the
afternoon with more vigor and less ex-
haustion than he would have done on a
full feed, and viii enjoy his evening
meal with greater relish.
If a horse is very thirsty, do not give
him over two gallons of water. He will
perhaps want four or five, but such a
drink would do more harm than good.
He will be more refreshed and better
able to perform his duty after drinking
two gallons than he would after drinking
four. 1t is necessary sometimes to re-
strain the appetite, even with water, and
this requires some judgment and discre.
ton.
Never suffer q horse that has been
driven or worked thaough the day, to
spend the night without having been
cleaned and his legs we'll rubbed down.
This operation, if well performed is worth
half feeds worth more to the owner
than the price of many feeds. The same
operation should be performed in the
morning. In fact, a horse should never
be taken out of the stable, to either work
or travel, without first having his legs
we'll rubbed down. 1t stimulates the
circulation and opens the pores of the
skin-the horse then feels that he has
limbs, and enjoys pleasure in using
them.
Always cultivate an acquaintance with
your horse, be on friendly terms with
him, talk to him in a kindly tone OF
voice, pat him on the neck, and even
sing or whistle to him, for he is fond of
music, and these little attentions are not
lost on him. Pull a handful of grass by
the roadside and feed it to him. If he
is tired and worn down it is astonishing
how these little attentions will encourage
and cheer him up.

Charcoal rs Medicine.

1t is we'll known that charcoal is ex-
tensively used in the practice of medi.
cine, and, as an article Of commerce, pre-
pared especially for medical purposes, as
found in every drug store it is made from
a certain species of the willow and that
which can be purchased from the apoth-
ecary is the only kind which should be
used as a medicine. AS to its beneficial
effects upon a diseased stomach, l can
bear unqualified testimony. Ihave been
for many years sufferer from very pain
full cankers, at times, on my tongue, lips
and gums, for which took the prescrip-
tons of four different physicians of &C.
knowledged ability, but with no relief.
I finally applied to an old physician of
over fifty years constant practice, who
prescribed charcoal and Husbands mag
nesia in equal quantities by weight,
mixed-a teaspoonful in milk, three
times week before going to bed. 1t
acts like charm and gives one such an
appetite as few other doses will produce.
In cases of inflammation of the bowels, it
is among the best remedies, and in bill
lious headache, and acidity of the stom-
ach, always produces the most gratifying
results. This medicine, however like all
other remedies for "the ills that flesh is
heir to-" will, and should be taken by
prudent persons, only as directed by a
good physician.
As dentifrice, do not advise its use,
there always being probability of its
getting under the gums and causing
some injury; but of this there need be
no great fear, if only the charcoal pre-.
pared for medical purposes be used. A
better article for the teeth is creta pre-
parata-prepared chalk-of the druggists
with an occasional use of white CASTLE
soap. A little carbolic acid diluted in
water is not only preservative, but will
remove recent deposits of tartar from
the teeth and it is the accumulation of
tartar, quite as much as any other cause
which gives the dentists SO many teeth
to fill.
l cannot close without adding that a
clean mouth is not only an essential to a
clean breath, but to good health; hence,
no decent christian possibly can, or will,
dispense with quill tooth pick, a tooth
brush, white CASTLE soap and prepared

The Live Stock Reporter of st. Louis
in speaking of the mast fed hogs,
says that there Is but little demand for
them in that market, for the reason that
summer packers say they do not make
meat of sufficient firmness to justify the
killing. Those which arrive now are
usually sold for stockers. If Texas
shippers would only feed their hogs on
corn for about four weeks before ship
ping them to this market, then their
hogs would amply repay them in the
increased prices they would bring.

Red Pepper for Poultry.

I do not know If other persons who
raise poultry and pet birds are as much
dependent as am on red pepper; but
I have found 50 much benefit from it,
use in my poultry yards and bird cages,
that it may not be amiss to call the at
tention of others to its good properties.
1 do not speak of the article that is sold
in drug stores-and sometimes not re-
markedly fresh-but of the capsicum
that grows in our gardens. l have tried
all the different varieties and that the
most pungent and eficaeieus is the small
and mostly known by the name OF "blrds
pepper" The plant in itself is beau
tiful object. It grows about two feet
high. and in Autumn its bright little
scarlet berries look like coral beads peep
ing from under the dark green foliage.
Indeed, one plant in pot forms very
pretty ornament for flower stand. The
seeds possess stimulating and reviving
property, and 1 find that two or three
given to newly matched chickens, espec-
sally if they are weakly, have most
happy effect. If q hen looks feeble after
moulting, six of these berries or pods,
given daily in some corn meal and sweet
milk, improves her wonderfully. Last
summer two of nay canaries began to
droop. Every day l gave them each one
seed Of the "bird's pepper" and in less
than week they we're quite we'll. The
same remedy is invaluable for mocking
birds.-An Old Farmer, in Woonsoeket

A farmer of Labette buried four or five
jars of butter last summer, as an exper.
iment. He removed one jar the other
day and found the butter as nice and
sweet as the day it was buried. His plan
was to get good sound jar, fill it with
butter. tie cloth over the top, put on a
layer of salt about an inch thick, tie a
strong cloth over the mouth of the jar
and bury the jar four feet deep, mouth
down. Mr.. Williams thinks that butter
put up in this shape can be kept pure
and nice an indefinite length of time.

Of the right, in support Of the only priu-
ciple that will hold this country together
for all time. Almost all who once op.
posed him are now ready to admit that
the only humane course left to pursue
was that adopted by Andrew johnson
during impeachment times. He then
proposed to take the short cut and
thereby arrive at state OF things that has
finally been brought about. The bung.
ling reconstruction policy Of Congress
now cuts but sorryfi cure beside the
measures which Andrew johnson vainly

difficulty was that at the time he was
ahead OF the age. He lived to see his
policy adopted, however, for there was
