RIFLE PRACTICE At BENNINGs.
The Club Keep. Up the High scores.

inc CLUB Keeps Up the High scores.
Yesterday afternoon four members Of the
Columbia Rifle Association went to Benning's
for regular practice, which they do twice a
week, Tuesdays and Fridays, as many going
each afternoon as can find II convenient to get
away from business cares to indulge In this
exceedingly fascinating sport. The afternoon
was only "fair to middllng" for high scores, as
the sun was bright and strong and consequent
the mirage between the firing points and
target was quite troublesome. The breeze was
from one to three and half points on the
wnd.gauges for strength, and In directions
varied OF the big wind.clock from six to
eleven. From this latter fact alone long.range
rihcmen will readily sec that II was not an
afternoon for phenomenal scores, However,
the shot.ior.shot record as given below main.
tains the high reputation the Columbia Rifle
Association has recently won by its flnc shoot.

An Egyptian Lotto. in Connecticut.

Mr. Charles Holmes. OF Aallymr. l.tt az
this office yesterday several blossoms of the
rare and beautiful Egyptian lotos. They
were gathered in Stldcu's Cove. an indeuta-
ton Of the Connecticut river not far from
Long Island Sound, famous alike FOR its shad
aud its lotos flowers
The blossoms bear D.. general IT mb!ancc 90
the yellow pond lily. but are much larger and
OF a delicate pale huff color, and their texture
and general makeup ar, free from the coarse
ness of their little America limitations They
grow in about four feet Of water, and are con
sequenty mounted on Tong stems, while the
leaves are like great elephants ears. How
these lotos plants happened to take root and
manage to flourish where they ART Is one of
the mysteries of Connecticut Every sort Of
effort has been made to transplant them but
all fail! Even in Hamburg Cove. Just below
on the same river, though the plants have
hC,r set ont there at all seasons Of the year
nl a.. hone that some time might prove the
prov p time, it has been impossible to per
ou,l the plants to take root at all. An at
t.'.f so plant them in Bushnell park, in TINS
city, failed ike the rest, and SO did one at
Cedar Hin cemetery. New York persons have
carried of the plants often. but only to see
them die.
The blossoms are much sought after, n doz-
en- boats being ont after them and AZ high as
two dollars has been paid for @ single flower
while rumor has it tina, ths I.ar,lards from
New ork have put in there Will their yacht

How Horses Are spoiled.

How quick n horse becomes dilapidated
and demoralized after it comes into the pos
session Of some people. II makes no differ
ence how young or how nice they are when
they get them, they all look alike i'll less than
two years, and always have that discouraged,
destroyed appearance. | have seen men who
claim to have great iudgln ent-whom we look
upon as wise, prudent and shrewd IN business
that did not seem to have any idea of what
treatment a horse required If l had boy
ten years old that was not more capable and
reasonable about such things than many peo-
pie, ! should think he was hopeless idiot.
Many seem to think horse can endure ev-
erything 90 without feed all day and half the
night, and be of on "A journey in bad travel
ling time after time. When they get home
they put them in an old, dark, dirty pen,
throw in forlSful of hay, the first they come
to. and let them rip" They never rub or
clean them, and never take any pains to pro
tect them from cold or dampness They over
look difficulties" when in no condition to la
Dor. How many young, stylish horses have
we seen all drawn out OF shape, and all sag
ged down their back six inches too low in
front Of the hips and Il foot and half too
long. A horse needs feed regularly and often,
ms often rs once in five hours, ut lenst at reg
ular hours in the day. They cannot bear
- fasting a. well Illuminating animals but
they should never be crainlhtu idil or nay,
especially after long drive when they have
been without all day nor just before a hard
days work, or a long Journey. / have seen Il
good many horses spoiled by fasting and
examining It will soon spoil their digestive
organs, and If long continued il will weaken
them and destroy their vitality SO that they
will never take on flesh At all, even under
good treatment. And so they always remain,
u crooked, shapeess mass of unsghtly, use-
less ''horscfesh. But, strange it may APP
pear. people never know the difference rs
long as the animal has paunch, HAIR and
hoofs It is not all work that brought them
to this There are thousands of horses that
lo1!, as well aS they ever did. 1t Is the gen.
oral management 1t is not the team hors,
nor the livery horse so much MS the farmer,
horse that shows bad treatment Some pre-
tend that the horse has had constitution, Of
Is sick. Others call it a lack Of vitality.
should call it n lack of common sense in tho
crauium of his ownor.- Ger. Maine Farmer

We take the following from the editorial
columns of the American Poultry Yard
MILK ron FAr1TN1NG Fowls. What adiGcr-
ent taste fine, nicely and quickly fattenod
fowl has. when served on the table compared
to one which has been forced TO scratch for
Az its living. and thor is consigned to the
spit in anything but a fit condition for food.
Farmers realize the importance Of fatteniug
quickly. whom feeding becves for the butcher,
vet many do not seem to realize the fact that
what holds good with that kind OF meat is
equally true when applied to fowls Tender
ness and juiciness are results Of fatteniup
quickly. while nero ordinary flavor and want
OF tenderness result from letting fowls run
until wanted for use on the table.
70 enable one TO fntteu fowls or chicks
quickly, it is absolutely necessary 10 Civ, such
food AZ will accomplish the purpose best. and
to this end we uuhcstntngy recommend
plenty Of milk in any state from fresh 60
thick This should be fed in connection with
n grain dict, for one countcNcts any possible
deleterious influence of the other II kept in
q darkened place and fed unsparingly on
milk, with grain in proper proportions. you
will soon have something very choice to offer
up on your tables TO your friends ns well II. to
your family. When milk is fed no water is
required for fattcning fowl.
EAAMINI THE AhAliH. IL is tic tNhltNl llllllE
in the world-when you know how It's done
to tell when your fowls are in ili-hcaltL. even
in the incipicnt stages Of any disease or all
mcnt, if you but examine your flock careful
ly. The comb of each fowl is q true index TO
the working of its system. II they are in ill.,
health. the comb will lose color and become
far less firm in texture the mHady i'll
creases the color decreases. till a very sick
bird will show a comb almost devoid OF scar
let being of livid dull crimson or else pale
or ashy in appearance. ii the cholera or any
other disease should come into the flock
carefully examine the combs Of each bird,
morning and night, and all those which are
wanting in that bright, rich color which de
notes perfect health, remove at once from the
flock to a place remote where they should at
once be put under medical treatment
The comb Of a fowl is an honest indies of
the true inwardness. and should be- daily con
suited by the fauccr who values the health
and well being of his flock. Look at the
comb OF a laying hen or pullot. She is in the
height Of health and strength, and carries her
unfaiing sign Of healthfumess on her head,
in the shape of a blood rcd bright and full
comb A vigorous cock or cockerel will carry
the same sign, though not, perhaps. in so EN-
inent degree AS his harem.

A correspondent writing from Boston TO a
Western paper, SAYS There arr I}riChtOn-
and Bright0ns Bostou's Brighton NOW the
Twenty fifth Ward is famous for Its proyld-
ing half million people with meat. Some
years ago the place was quiet, rural affair
with u small cattle fair, and hotel which the
''hub" visited in the winter season on runners.
At the Abattoir here is now slaughtered two
thirds of all the beef and elavon-twclfths of
all the mutton that find THEN way into the
Boston stomach. The market days are Tues
day and Wednesday. The amount of bust
ness done at the cattle yards on Tuesday eX-
ceeds $40, 600. Wednesday is Brighton
day" for all butchers and cattle dealers The
Jews of Boston have one Strengthening house
at Brighton which is exclusively devoted to
their use. The Jewish mode of killing both
oxen and sheep is decidedly unpleasant to be-
hold and suggests the presence of an agent
of the society with a long name, but AS it has
the prestige of 1900 years of underwriting
usage, it is hardly possible that the Jewish
people would submit to any interference with
their method of slaughter yet the most adj
vaueed peple of the Hebrew faith are becom-
ing less critical rs to whether an animal des-
tined for their consumption is knocked in the
head or bled TO death, or whether he is killed
with one stroke of the knife or two. The au-
tocrat of the Boston mutton market kills 1000
sheep per day at Brighton, and also controls
the operations of the other butchers Among
the features OF the cattle fair are the horse
auctions Most of the animals disposed of
under the hammer are denominated bright
on plugs" and the crowd in attendance on
these sales is a motley one, A popular Wand
at Brighton is the baked bean, of which un-
told quantities are sold on Wednesdays the
regular cattle day The droyer is a hearty
eater The Brighton cattle market is mo-
nopoly. few men run it, and control botl
the quantity of meat and the prices. The
Abattoir is an Incorporated concern, and the
law of the State will allow no slnughterine
