The ROVER CASE. Concerning

airy case, the Silver State Of April 81
makes the following statement
We are informed by District
Attorney Harding that he telegraph.
ed TO the District ATTORNEY Of
Wsshoe county yesterday to enter a
nolie prosequi in the Rover case
de Is OF the opinion that it is useless
TO prosecute the case further. as
there Is no hope Of convicting Rover
now that eight Of twelve Jurors were
for acquitting him. He therefore
considers it his duty to stop the
expense OF another trial, which In
all probability would result in a dis.
agreement Of the jury, if not the
acquittal Of Rover.
The natural other thing 10 do
when Rover is once fairly at liberty
IS to put McWorthy upon his trial
for the murder of Sharp.

good deal more truth than poetry in

WATERING OF HoRsEs AFTER FEEDING
The National Live Stock Journal, in CIV
ing directions for the care Of horses says
"Another common fault in the almentation
of horses is the leading to water just after
full feed of grain. The first effect of this is
to largly distend the stomach, and the result
may be as serious as if the material were
masticated grain and saliva. But, should
this danger be avoided matters are not nec-
essarily left in a better state. The sudden
and excessive influx of water IS likdly to wash
much Of the contents of the stomach into the
intestines before the nitrogenous principles
have boen digested, and fermentation. extr-
cation Of gases, overdistensions, colics and
inilammatious result. Even this is not all.
The application Of an excess OF cold water
on the mucus membrane of the stomach aud
intestines causes vascular congestion and vio-
lent muscular contractions, so that all tend
to digestive disorder Of a dangerous nature.
CopiOus draughts cf iced water are hurtIul
alike to man aud beast. If it must be taken
it should be in small quantities Gnly and fre-
quently, But drink of water of moderate
temperature, just after feed of grain, is full
Of peril to the soliped Thirst should be al
layed before the feed is given; and if any is
allowed after it should be merely mouthful,
until the lapse of one or two hours time has
been had for gastric digestion. After a feed
of hay there is comparatively little danger.
From the excessive salivary addition to the
hay, and the comparatively small amount of
its albumlnoids, these are rapidly dissolved
out and digested aud the further addition of
water is often rather favorable than other
wise in Fastening its progress into the bowels,
where the digestion of its starch, sugar, fat
aud other respiratory elements may be COM
pleted.

ABsoRBENTs IN MANURE.

When mnnures are left over a season to
decompose, absorbents of the ammonia in
them are always beneficial. Plast or is de-
cidedly the best absorbent Of the gases in a
manure pile that is known to exist, and it
may be sprinklcd among the manure when
the pile is made-not much, say a barrel of
plaster to what manure ten head of cattle
will make in season. Lime has a tendency
to set the gases (ammona) free and it should
never be used in the compost heap, except
when much coarse matter is to be deoomposed.
Nor are ashes Of any benefit to the heap,
over their value when used alone. Swamp
muck is good, if placed in alternate layers of
manure and muck through the heap and left
a season to decompose and unite. All COM
post heaps should be made with their tops
fiat, or a little concave, to catch the rains to
keep the heaps moist. In England the sys-
tenn of composing is carried to perfection.
They pack their manure in oblong heaps, and
shovel them over two or three times during
the summer to hasten decomposition, and
apply such fine manures to their lands the
next season. Here we cannot so well afford
the labor of composing in that manner con-
sequently many farmers apply all their
stable dung to their land fresh and uudecom-
posed. Some crops, however, require we'll
rotted manures to grow in perfection, and
every farmer may prodtably have a small
compost heap TO supply him with fine manure
where it is most needed.-N. Y. World.
