Food for Horses.

1t has become quite common of
late to hear of the sudden death of
valuable horses, and The wonder is
that they should die so suddenly,
when it was supposed that the best
care was given in regard to their
food, exercise, etc. The fact is, that
very few owners of horses seem to
be aware of the great danger of feed
ing fine meal to horses. Many an
excellent animal is taken suddenly
i'll. and in spite of every effort for its
relief, dies in q short time, the only
thing out of the way in its case hav-
ing been the feeding Of fine meal.

The trouble is, that frequently the
meal hardens, literally bakes, on the
walls Of the stomach, forming an in
aigestible mass that cannot be re-
moved, and from the suffering it
causes, there is no relief but death.
The livery men in towns aid cities
have discovered this fact, and for
meal are substituting cracked corn,
which is wholesome, nourishing and
never attended with danger. 1t is
time horse owners generally were
made acquainted with these facts:

At temperance meeting in New
York, few days ago, Major Addison
d. WEIGH, grand worthy patriarch Of
the order Of Sons of Temperance in
Rhode Island, said fifty men started
the reform club in Rhode Island in
1872, pledging themselves to kill the
liquor traffic or be killed by it.
They have now $4,000 temperance
people in Rhode Island, Of whom
over 10000 were once Incorporate.
During the year ending March 1, 1873,
only seventeen violations of the
pledge were known. They all wear
the blue ribbon, tied with the prohi-
bition knot, and are pledged to Sc
cure the prohibition Of the traffic in
the State.

Why it Pays to Read.

Ones physical frame-his body, his
muscles, his feet, his hands is only
a living machine. 1t is the mind,
controlling and directing that ma
chine, that gives it power and eflica-
cy. The successful use of the body
depends wholly upon the mind-up-
on its ability to direct the will. II
one ties his arm in sling, it becomes
weak and finally powerless. Keep it
in active exercise, and it acquires
vigor and strength, and is disciplined
to use this strength as desired; just
as ones mind, by active exercise in
thinking, reasoning, planning, study
ing, observing, acquires yigor.
strength, power of concentration an d
direction.
Plainly, then, the man who exercises
his mind in reading and thinking,
gives it increased power and efficien-
cy, and great ability to direct the ef-
forts Of the physical frame-his work
to better results than he can who
merely or mainly uses his muscles.
II man reads a book or paper, even
one he knows to be erroneous, it
helps him by the effort to combat the
errors. The combat invigorates his
mind.
OF all men, the farmer, the cultiva-
tor, needs to read more, to strength
en- his reasoning powers, so that they
may help out and make more effec-
tive, more profitable, his hard toll.
There can be no doubt that the farm
er who supplies himself with the
most reading-the most of other
mems thoughts and experiences
will in the end, II not at once, be the
most successful.

Publishers say that among the
slowest books to sell they have are
pretty much all volumes of poetry,
unless they come from some celebra-
ted name. The fashion for verse
seems to have gone out with the lat
ter half Of the last century and the
beginning OF this. The current fash
ion is for novels, and their name is
legion indeed. How long will it be
before they will be a drug In the
the publishers hands, while some
thing else will be the rage?
