Hints on Horse Keeping.

The wide stall is luxury, and ought
to be six or even ten feet wide if room
can be spared. Loose boxes are import
ant for horses of great value in such
stalls they can get perfect repose by
changing their position, recover from the
fatigue of hard days drive, and be
ready for their task the next day. The
food best adapted to the horse is oats and
hay of the best quality, occasionally va
ried with bran mash, with turnips or
carrots as an Alternative. The growth and
development of bone and muscle depend
greatly upon the food they eat. tits i'm
portant to select such as contains all the
elements needed to form the bone and
muscle of the horse It is self-evident
that the nutritive matter supplied by the
food must be equal to the exhaustion, or
natural waste of the body, to keep up
condition. Prof. Playfair has made some
interesting and instructive experiments
upon the nutritious matter contained in
different kinds of food. He has demon
strated by analysis "that in 100
pounds of oats, eleven pounds represent
the quantity of gluten wherewith flesh is
formed, and that an equal weight of hay
affords eight pounds of similar substance.
Both hay and oats contain about So
per centum of unazotized matter,
identical with fat, of which it must be
observed that vast portion passed off
from the animal without being assimilat-
ed. By this calculation it appears that
if horse consumes daily four feeds of
oats and ten pounds of hay, the nutri-
ment which he derives will be equivalent
to about one pound eleven ounces of mus
Gle, and thirteen and one-half pounds of
superfuous matter, which, exclusive of
water, nearly approximates the exhaus-
ton of the system, by perspiration and
the various excavations. The horse
that is about to be driven on journey
needs hardening by exercise-preparing
by sweating out the body to purify and
increase the circulation of the blood, and
also by hand.rubbing the legs to make
them firm and elastic-a preparation in
some degree corresponding with that at
tanned by horse that is daily driven on
the road for ordinary work. For one
week previous to the start they need
daily exercise, commencing with eight or
ten miles, and gradually increasing to
twenty per day. This exercise, with APP
propriate food, will harden heir muscles,
strengthen their limbs and prepare them
to perform their tasks without giving out
on the road, materially declining in flesh,
or seriously exhausting their physical
powers. If we perform long drives, with
horses accustomed to short work only,
the medium transition from Incidence to
great exertion will relax their muscles,
weaken their joints, depress their spirits
and break down their constitution. The
leading cause of 80 many valuable horses
being spoiled by long drives is from be-
ing short of work. They are not pre-
pared for such severe exertions. Condi-
ton will prepare them to perform their
work cheerfully, last cut with sound
limbs, and preserve their constitutional
vigor for future usefulness. National

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The Secretary of War has news from
he Rio Grande that several Mexican companies
were being organized for the purpose OF re-
polling raids across the river by United States
forces. Matters are regarded as becoming Sc
rious. Raiders upon this side Of the river will

that he is serviely submissive to the Mormons,

Washington advices represent that

that no apprehensions are entertained of

Michigan's Wheat Crop.

Below we give the comparative figures
of the acreage and yield of wheat in
this State for 1877 and 1873. In aver
aging the yield per acre in each county
we have carefully examined all the state
ments, taking into consideration the
section covered by each. The purpose
has been to keep the estimate carefully
within the mark. There may, however,
possibly be instances In which the
amount is overestimated, and it is quite
probable that in many the amount is
under estimated. Indeed, in some cases
where the average was returned so high
that in the fear that in thrashing out,
which is not wholly completed, the ex-
pectation formed may be disappointed,
we have allowed considerable margins
for contingencies. The reports, there
fore, amply warrant the statement that
the yield of wheat in Michigan the
present year will not fell short of the
aggregate given, 29,863, 494 bushels.
In round numbers the crop may be
stated at 30,000,000 bushels, yield
which is beyond all precedent in Michi-
gan, and which will put the State among
the foremost of heat-producing States
in the Union. The following table,
from the Detroit Free Press, shows
the acreage and yield in 1877 and
1878 in the several counties OF the
State:

but he felt grateful to the other boy
for the use of his stills, and he softly
remarked:
"Father wasn't home all last night,

"Gone OFF," queried the owner OF the
stills.
"He's down town somewhere, we ex-
pect, and ma says she amt going to run
after him if he don't come home for

"Did they have fuss ?"
"Kinder. You see we had to let the

up and drive her out in style. He kicked
at first, but when she got mad he caved
in and fixed himself up so you couldn't
tell him from a darby. When he drove
around ma called him Peter, and ordered
him to back up, and go ahead, and haw
and gee around, and he got up on his

Died from Shaving Of His Beard.

following singular story in connection
with the announcement that John E.
Langdon, long resident of that city,
died of lockjaw: "On Saturday Mr..
Langdon shaved off his beard, and the
next day felt stiffness about his jaws.
On Monday, the symptoms being worse,
DIR. Lester was called, and concluded
that it was a case of trismus. On the.
following day spasms developed in the
muscles of the jaw, neck and back, and
the doctor then pronounced it to be lock-
law. The spasms continued with oc-
casional relaxations, until the hour of
his death. No effort of medical skill
was spared, but it was impossible to
afford him relief. The muscles of the
neck and limbs stood out prominent, and
were tense and rigid.

elbow-joint, and four inches shorter
than the other, but with all the muscles
and lgaments uninjured, for all prac-

useless until Mr.. Hoyt manufactured a
joint, by which Mr.. Tucker was enabled
to use his arm in any direction, which
he proceeded to do the day after the

this snake is not venomous, and it lives
on young gophers. 1t enters the sub
terranean burrows in quest of its prey,
and If the old ones modest it they are
killed, but they are too big to swallow.
Hitherto farmers killed them. Here
after they may protect them as a cheap
and effective way to escape the destruc-
ton of gophers, which rival ground
squirrels in levying contributions. The
former eat the roots, the latter the tops.
