from the "main' to the old Peoples resi-

Experts from Milwaukee failed to fad

How Often TO Feed Horses.

4 year or so ago we remember TO have
read an account from Mr.. Harris, IN
contribution TO the American AgrlcuttlIr-
id, of New York truckman who was
experimenting in reducing the number
of times per day that he fed his horses
The animals were worked hard, but the
owner omitted giving them the noon
meal altogether. The horses left the
stable at seven O'Clock in the morning,
and were returned at half-past six in
the evening, thus going about twelve
hours without feeding. The amount OF
oats morning and evening was increas-
ed. though the aggregate feed per day
was on an average about two quarts less
than when the same horses were fed
three times. The owner found that the
horses did more work, were healthier
and more thrifty than before. The horse
had the best of grooming and care, OF
course.
The result is probably due to the fact
that. according TO Il lOng-knOwn princl-
pie in physiology, violent exercise imme-
diately after a hearty meal impedes
digestion, especially il the meal be TAX
en- after the exhaustive labors OF the
forenoon.
II any of our readers are 10 try the
experiment, they should begin by gra-
dually reducing the noon meal, and
when entirely withheld they must still
give the horse the usual rest at noon

is hardly necessary to say that I'M
married ladies' should not accept pres
ents from gentlemen not related or en-
gagged TO them. as every well bred per-
son is aware of the fact. There Is rule
TO the effect that, in presenting a book
to a friend, the name ofthe one to whom
YOU give il must not be written in It
unless requested. This rule is better
honored in the breach than in the OBJ
servance when the giver OF the book Is
its author. Our tokens OF love, says
Emerson, are, for the most part, barbar-
Gus, cold and lifeless, because they do
not represent our life. The only gift
is a portion of myself Therefore, let
the farmer give his corn, the miner
gem, the sailor coral shells, the painter
his picture, and the poet his poem.
Mere cOstliness does not constitute the
soul of a present; it is the kind feeling
that il manifeSts which gives it its value.
Those who possess noble natures do
not make gifts where they feel neither
affection nor respect. Their gifts are
bestowed out of the fullness OF kind
hearts
