Horse Feed.

Every good groom knows that sound
bits and beans and peas in due proper
tom. and at least Il wear old, are the very
.-,l food for a galluping horSe-the only
Aud on which ii Is possible to get the
oS best condition out Il race horse OF a
M84tcr. 1t also hasrecently become known
Iat horses do slow work and get fat, in
iced too fat, on maize, Indian corn, which
frequently omc-third cheaper than the
nest oats. In the East, horses are fed on
hdrley, and il is ii popular idea with Eng
.lSh officers who have lived in Persia and
SYRIA that the change Of food from bar
lev to oats, often, when imported, pro-
dlccs blindness in Arabian horses. Now,
although no men understand better OF SO
Well how to get blood horses into gallop
ng condition as English grooms, they do
not. and few ot their masters do, know
the reason why oats and beans are the
best food for putting muscular flesh ON a
horse, The agricultural chemist steps in
mere, makes the matter very PLAIN, and
Shows that if you want pace, Indian corn,
although n0minally cheaper, is not cheap
lt all. When We feed a bullock, a sheep,
nI a PIG for sale, after ii has passed the
Store stage we want to make it lat as
quickly and ils cheaply as possible; but
with a horse tOC work the object is, give
him musclc-n common language, hard
tesh There are times when it is profit
able to make horse fat. as for instance,
when he is going up for sale. For this
purpose an addition OF about a pound
ana il half of oil cake to his ordinary
food has good effect. 1t is especially
useful when a horse that has been closely
clipped or singcd is in Il low condition.
Ii helps on the change to the new coat
hy making him fat. \ horse in low con
ditian changes his coat very slowly.
When from amy cause there is difficulty
Ia getting a supply of the best oats an
excellent mixture may ht made of crush
,d maize and beans, in the proportion OF
tWu-thirdS of maize and one of beans,
which exactly afford the proportions OF
hrsh forming and fat forming food. Bran
Is a very valuable food i'll a stable for re
ducin9 the intlammatorN effects Of oats
and beans. Made into maSheS it has a
cooling and laxative effect, but used in

TEST Your COAL OIL.-Scarcely a
day passes that we do not read of
costly and fatal accidents from the
explosion Of kerosene lamps, and all
resulting from the use Of poor quail
ty Of oil. Interruptions dealers do not
hesitate to sell inferior oils, of which
the dangerous element, benzinc, forms
an undue proportion. Such oil can
be made aud sold cheaper than oils
that are safe. But little heat Is re-
CURED to generate gas from oil con-
tanning large proportion of benzine;
the gas ignites and explodes the lamp.
Few persons who retail or use kero-
sene know how to test 1t. Here Is
simple plan by which any housekeep-
or may ascertain whether oil being
used Is safe or not:
Place tin pan OH q pair Of chairs
in such position that lamp may be
placed under the center OF the pan;
pour into 1t water, milk warm, suffice
lent 10 cover the bulb of the Their
mometer; pour little OF the oil into o
small patty-pan, and place this small
pan I'm the water In the other pan,
being careful that 1t floats well with
out touching the bottom. Now light
an ordinary kerosene lamp and place
it under the large pan in such posit-
ion that the top Of the fiue will be an
inch or two below the bottom of the
pan. As the temperature rises ii will
be indicated by the thermometer.
Apply lighted match to the oil oc-
casionally. If 1t flashes before the
mercury In the thermometer has risen
to 1909, the oil il unsafe and should
not be used, Throw IL away or return
II TO the dealer aud demand the re-
turn Of the. price. Gunpowder Is no
more dangerous than oil that will
fash below le0o. In fact no oil Is
safe that will flash below 1909.
q. w. PALMER, at the Blue Front,
South side Public Square, has now in
store a splendid stock Of new goods
comprising an unusually large assort-
ment of dry goods, notions, boots and
shoes, hats and caps. Anything you
may want in these lines will be found
at Palmer's and at fair prices. The
ladies GO there for their dress goods
and trimmings, for fineshoes. CATERS.
substantial winter shoes, childrenis
shoes, for their fine gloves, hosiery.
and everything required for modern
fashionable toilet. The gentlemen
find there also what they want for an
outfit for winter, for themselves and
the family. The Blue Front Is a good
place for trade. Take our word for ii
once aud give Palmer trial.

= GROWING TOWN AWAKE TO IT'S
TNTEgEsT.
KNOXVILLE.

ON Saturday last a number oil our
business men had the pleasure Of
meeting with a deputation Of some OF
the enterprising merchants OF
Knoxville, Iowa, visiting Dayen-
mort for the purpose OF becoming ac-
ouainted with its business interests
and it's citizens. These gentlemen
thus visiting our city were:
Messrs. T.. Ii. Woodruff, hardware
merchant; L. Baker, capitalist and
owner of coal mine; c. J. Amos, dry
goods merchant; Thompson WEIGH,
dry goods merchant; and o. j. Ken
dig, grocer.
Knoxville the ffourishing town IN
which these gentlemen reside ana 90
business, is i'm Marion county, and
now has about $500 inhabitants. Al
though one of the oldest and most
sound of interior Iowa towns,
Knoxville was until about year ago
without that indispensable accessory
TO modern progress, railroad. Then
a connection was secured with the {.
u. K q. by way OF Abba But last
November the citizens of Knoxville
were made the happy recipients OF
still another and much more desirble
railroad connection by means Of the
G. RI. d p. Since then they have
learned what ii Is TO have railroad in
fact They have found out that the
G.. II. /. & i. II. II. is first rate road
upon which to do business, and that
in Mr.. superintendent Kimball they
have railroad man with whom it is
pleasure to do business. Naturally
enough, therefore, the Knoxville peo-
pie want to know more about Daven-
port, the most important city in Iowa
along the line OF the G. II. /. d Il.
Hence their visit TO our city. We
trust that the visitors found Daven-
port and its citizens to be just such as
they will like to know more OF i'm the
future. They had slight opportu
nifty to see something Of our real wide
awake business men, and were taken
over to the Arsenal in the afternoon
by pleasant party, each member OF
whom will remember the nice little
jaunt with delight for many moons
to come. 1t is 10 be hoped that these
and still other gentlemen from Knox
vile will give our citizens other and
similar calls during the spring and
summer.
We may add, that Knoxville is sit
uated In one Of the very best counties
in the Solicitation. Among the adj
vantages of this county may be emit
merated the possession of large belt of
excellent timber. AS a result, good
fire wood Is delivered at $3.50 per
cord. Coal too is being developed. A
mine is just being opened close to the
depot Of the &. II. |. & j.. Mr. T.. Ba-
ker, one Of our yisiters, is the Surt.

topics relating thereto, and convince
his hearers that there are more strange
things in heaven and earth than are
