A TORNADO NEAR DUNDALK IRELAND
The Dunddlk Democrat says:

The Dunddk Democrat says:
On Tuesday morning most extra
ordinary occurrence took place at
Claret Rock, a place about four miles
north of Dundalk. On the morning
in question, between four and five o.
clock, blacksmith named Dooley,
and his two brothers, were awakened
by loud rumbling noise, and, dread
ing that something was about to hap
pen to the house, they jumped out of
bed, and, running to the door, put
their shoulders against it to secure it
more effectually. They had scarcely
done SO when the covering of the
whole roof was taken off the house and
the windows blown in by terrible
hurricane. which passed over it with
a terrible roar. Ina few minutes the
noise ceased, and venturing outside
they found that the roof of an adioin-
ing forge was also blown off. while a
cow-house which was under the same
roof was uninjured. A donkey's cart
that was left in the street before the
door on Monday night was carried off
about four perches and deposited on
the top of a wooden gate. Both the
cart and the gate were smashed.
At the time, the rain was
falling in torrents, and the Dooleys
had to take shelter in the cow-house.
They heard the noise of the hurricane
for about ten minute, and they state

Good Walking Horses.

A good horse should go well in all his
PAGES. He should walk, trot and gallop in
handsome style, and as saddle horse, the
first pace-that of walking-is the most i'm
portant, for in warm weather, equestrians
riding for pleasure, or on business, do not
care to go faster, excepting now and then for
a change, and to prevent being too long a
time on the way. A perfectly good walker
can 60 five miles an hour with ease to him
self and his rider, and, generally speaking,
when horse walks off at this rate gracefully
and safely, without making any trips, he will
be found to move well in his trot, and gallop
well, too. There is a wonderful difference in
horses. Some move so Springy, and change
their PAGES so easily, that it is like sitting in
rockingham, while others are so rough Ia
their trot that it shakes man so as to ipjure
the watch That ne carries, aud in galloping,
some will do that pace so harshly that it is
really unpleasant riding For man who
travels a good deal on horseback, and who
likes to take everything as easily as possible,
the walk and the canter are the most suitable
PAGES, for of all riding, the slow galop called
the canter is the easiest, and also the safest,
next to the walk.
In England, where riding on horseback is
SO universal, the horses are trained to the
walk, trot, canter and gallop. Old farmers,
it is true, will be seen to amble along to
market, and again on their way home, but it
is questionable. In the Southern States
the amble Tor movement faster and some-
what differently is called racking and pacing,
and it is surprising how quickly and very
easily to the rider the milestones are passed
when seated on good PAGER and racker.
Doubtless every colt should have great atten-
ton paid to his first pace-the walk-for it is
the foundation of all others, and denotes use
fulness. In fact, when a good horseman
mounts an animal he wishes to try and
find the walk free and good he is at once
impressed favorably, and little remissness
in the other PAGES will be pardoned il it is a
young horse, hoping and expecting improve
ment will occur because of the good walking.
1t is extraordinary that walking well is not
appreciated in the United States, but rather
it is much overlooked, and in some measure
repudiated. As an instance: At the Orange
County Agricultural Show, gentleman Of
fered premium Of 800 TO be given to the
best walkers. and although it was duly adver-
tised, there were no horses brought to walk
for the money. Setting aside saddle horses
how very important it is that farm horses
should walk well-in short, it is the most
essential pace on every farm.-C0uptry Gen.

nIismanagement of Horses.

'Yes' says the Deacon in professional
tone, indigestion is much more prevalent
complaint among horses than is generally
supposed. 1t is tue uuar remote cause of
many serious and fatal diseases. 1t arises
usually from overwork, injudicious and irreg-
ular feeding, poor grooming, and ill-venti-
lated stables. Sometimes it arises from over
feeding and letting the horse stand idle in the
stable for several days At a time, and then
over-working. A Winters or Springs run
in barn-yard or pasture would be the best
remedy. But if he cannot be spared, feed
lightly on nutritious food and work moder-
ately. Give him cut-food, that he can eat
rapidly, and then let him rest as long as pos
sible after eating. Give himinothiDg but cut
feed, and when he has enough fit, if any is
left, remove it from the manger. When he
becomes accustomed to this treatment he will
eat what he wants, and then lie down and
rest, or at any rate will not be uneasily look
ing for more food till the next regular feeding
time. Try him with bushel of cut hay,
two quarts of oat meal, and two quarts Of
bran, well moistened with boiling water, and
allowed to stand from one feeding time till
the next. Feed him three times day. If
he eats it up clean, all right; if he is very
large horse he will be able to eat more. Let
MIN nave all that he can eat up clean, but no
more. Give him tablespoonful of salt every
day. Water the first thing in the morning
all he will drink; give him water before or
after every meal. Groom thoroughly. Let
him have an entire days rest at least once a
week, and occasionally let him have two
days in succession of entire rest from all
work. Never put him to hard work immed-
lately after eating; this is very essential
point, Always take off the harness when he
is put in the stable, and rub him down and
make him comfortable before giving him
food.
$50 which 1 would add" said the Deacon.
'be careful to blanket him when he has to
stand out of doors after work. You may say
this horse died of dyspepsia, or collie, or rup-
tured stomach, or inflammation of the kidneys,
or bots, or what not, but in my opinion he
died from being allowed to stand on the fair
ground during cold storm or rain and wind,
without blanket. "-Haris' talk wtth the
Deacon.

POETRY.
Under the Dream.Tree.

In a trackless garden tree is growing
VI strsngest flower of sweetest fruit
What dreams are dreamed by that rare trees root ?
Or what the burden OF that Wlld lutte,
BY hidden fingers futily played,
Whose music maketh the nlgnt-Dlrd mute,
Under the dream-trees tender shade?
The tranced breeze Ger that garden blowing
Lippers by it on airy foot;
So rich the scent of those clusters glowing
So rare the sound Of that hidden Lutte
Pains or peris shall none compute
Which bar the paths to that secret glade.
In view of joys that the heart salute
Under the Cream trees tender shade.
Silver foods are flowing, flowing.
Ripple on ripple in gay pursuit
VI soft shed rose leaves slowly showing
From bending branches of slender shoot.
Though visions throng by that rare trees root,
Joy, unfettered and unafraid,
Wakes at call of that hidden lutte.
Under the dream-trees tender shade.
Love, why lingerest? Still that lutte
Woos thy feet to the rose-walled glade.
Come! ere the mystic music's mute,
Under the dream-trees tender shade.

The farm which has been awarded the
first prize of the English Royal Agricultural
Society the present year, is occupied and
managed by woman, the widow Of the
former occupant. The family have now
been tenants for 80 years. The condition
of the farm was very highly spoken of by
the judges, who declared that it was ''like a
great market garden" Its extent was 242
acres. The rotation was grass, potatoes on
sod, wheat, barely or oats seeded to grass,
which brought the course to the beginning
again. Fifteen men and boys were con-
stantly hired, and what is strange in these
days of machines, not one of these-not even
threshing machine-is kept on the farm.

The increased price of grain in the Euro
pean markets is bearing legitimate fruit in an
enlarged use of American Indian corn. Sin
gularly Indifferent for many years to the
value of corn as food for man and beast,
France is just waking up to its use, at least
as substitute for wheat and barley, in the
feeding of horses. Several Havre tramway
companies now feed their horses on coarsely
ground Indian corn, used with chopped straw
and hay with a small proportion of roots,
the example has been followed by others.
a proprietor of large livery stable there,
who controls $50 horses, admits saving of
over $1,000 last year, through the substitution
of Indian corn for more expensive grains.
The people OF Europe cling to old customs
with great tenacity. yet it would seem that
after giving the feeding of corn fair trial, its
use would become quite general, and new
markets would consequently be opened up
for the sale of Americas great staple.
