The Check-Rein.

Whipping .and oyerworkins do not
torture like the check rein. When you
compel a horse to contract the mus
Giles lust under the top Of the collar, in
order to sustain the head a foot, more
or Iless. above its natural place, and
then hold them thus contracted, the
strain on those muscles soon produces
GREAT harm. If you do not believe it.
watch the animal. Look at his eyes
and ears. am sure you cannot mis-
understand that face. See him carry
his head round on one side. and then
away round on the other side. Now
in q moment, you will see him throw
his nose up in front as high as he can'
three or four times. That struggle for
relief he continues all day long. When
YOU take off the check he will hang
down his head low, and show in his face
a sense Of relief which am sure you
cannot misunderstood. The long strain
wastes the musces, and produces that
ugly hollow which is now SO common
Just under the collar.
The London Horse book says: The
check.rein is useless and painful
incumbrance, introduced by vanity,
and retained by a thoughtlessness
amounting to cruelty
Professor Pritchard, Of the Royal We
terinary College, London, says: To
sum up in a word, the check rein les
sens the horses strength, brings on dis
ease. keeps him in pain, frets and in-
lures his mouth and spoils his temper.

The HOIstein Cow.

A few weeks ago some correspondent
incurred for a description ofthe Holstein
cattle. We give below fuller descrip-
ton than we could then present:
The Holsteins are attracting consld =
cradle attention, at present, among
dairymen and farmers. This breed oil
cattle are natives of Holstein, Germany,
but it is IN Holland that they have at
tanned their greatest perfection and they
are highly valued for their good milking
qualities, healthfulness and quiet dispC'
sitions. They are large animals, black
and white in color with the white sOme-
times predominatiRg, but generally black
with large white clouds scattered over
the body.
The Holsteins were first introduced
to the notice of American farmers by
Mr.. Chenery, of Boston, about seven
teen or eighteen years ago, and have
attained some prominence in the Eas-
tern States, among dairy farmers. Mr..
George E. Brown, the manager OF the
Fox River Stock Association, was one
Of the first IN the country, and certainly
first in the West, to make specially OF
importing and breeding these cattle. and
there is a large growing interest awak-
ened in regard to them through the ex-
celleuce of the stock he has SOFT out.
The HOlotvlus, from their large size
and the ease with which they can be
fattened when not milking, will be found
useful aud remuneratiTe animals for the
farmers, especially for those who are
interested in dairying. The great point
of excellence OF the breed, however, is
their unrivaled milking qualities, 10
which respect they are in advance Of
nearly every other breed.

WHAT SMOKING DOES FOR Boy

WHAT SMOKING Does FOR BOYS
A certain doctor, struck with a large
number of boys under fifteen years o.
age whom he observed smoking, was
led to inquire into the effect the habit
had upon general health. He took fol
his purpose thirty-eight boys aged from
nine to fifteen, and carefully examined
them. In twenty-seven Of them he
discovered injurious traces Of the habit.
In twenty two there were various dis.
orders of the circulation aad digestion
palpitat.on Of the heart, and a more or
less marked taste for strong drink. In
twelve there was frequent bleeding oil
the nose, ten had disturbed sleep, twelve
had slight liberation of the mucous
membrane of the mouth, which dis
appeared on ceasing from the use of to-
bacco for some days. The doctor
treated all for weakness, but with little
effect until the smoking was discon-
tinued, when health and strength were
soon restored. Now, this is no old
wife's tale as these facts are given on
the authority Of the British Medical
Journal.

The BEsr DRINK FOR LApoRRRs. :

THE Best DRINK FOR LABoRERs.
When you have heavy work to do, do
not take either beer, cider or spirits.
By far the best drink is thin oatmeal
aud water, with little sugar. The
proportions are quarter of a pound of
oatmeal to two or three quarts of wa
ter, according to the heat of the day
and your work and thirst; il should be
well boiled, and then an ounce or an
ounce and a half of brown sugar add
ed. If you find it thicker than you
like, add three quarts of water. Be
fore you drink it shake up the
oatmeal well through the liquid. 10
summer drink this cold; in winter hot.
You will find that If not only quench-
es thirst, but will give you more
strength and endurance than any
other drink. If you cannot boil it
you can take little oatmeal
mixed with cold water and sugar,
but this is not so good. Always boil
it if you can. If any time you have
to make a long day, as in harvest and
cannot stop for meals, increase the
oatmeal to half a pound, or even three
quarters, and the water three quarts If
you are likely to be very Thirsty. Ii
you cannot get oatmeal, wheat flower
will do, but not so well. For quench-
Ing thirst, few things are better than
weak coffee and little sugar. One
ounce of coffee and half an ounce of
sugar boiled in two quarts of water
and cooled, is a very thirst quenching
drink. Cold tea has the same effect;
but neither is so supporting as oat-
meal. Thin cocoa is also very re-
freshing and supporting but it is more
expensive than oatmeal
