Water and Food for Horses.

Horses and cattle normally require, in
round numbers, four pounds of water 70,
each pound OF dry substance in the food
while sheep require bu, two pounds, 0,
half as much. This estimate, the result
of many careful experiments, includes
the water contained in the food as tina,
in the drink. The amount of water need.
ed by pigs has not, I think, been &C.
curately determined.
With horses we find different diges
tive arrangement-one that changes the
conditions which were suitable for ru.
minants to very important extent
dorses have but one stomach. and that
relatively small; it contains, when fully
distended, but fifteen to sixteen quarts,
and in this condition is too full for the
performance Of its functions Usually,
when d1gesting the food, the horse 8
stomach does not contain more than ten
quarts, an6 as more feed is eaten some OF
the contents pass onward into the in
testines to make room for it. In eating
full feed of hay, the stomach is flied
two Or three times, SO the part first eaten
can remain but short time for digestion.
Now, here is point of great Importance
the albuminoids OF the food are digested
in the stomach, and a stomachful of grain
contains tour to six times as much of
these as stomachfut of hay consequent
ly, for sufficient quantity of gastric
Juice to I've mixed with the grain and pro.
duce its full effect requires much long
or time than with hay. If then we feed
oats or corn, and Immediately afterward
hay, we may be very certain that the
grain will be forced from the stomach
before it is perfectly digested; but if we
feed the hay first, and then the grain, it
is not difficult to understand that the
latter can remain in the stomach sufi-
cient time.
There ia one advantage in mixing oats
or ground feed Of any kind with cut hay
OF straw, and that is the more perfect
nastication which the animal gives in
this case; but it is doubtful if this advan-
tage holds good with cattle, as they do
not chew their food perfectly when eat
en-, but rely on determination which fol-
lows. In mixing feed for horses we
should not put great amount of coarse
food with the grain, or we will give more
tu6u tuC btOM0NA WALL uOlu, anu the last
portions eaten will force the first ones into
the intestines before they are thoroughly
impregnated with the gastric juice. Thus,
two pounds of hay and four pounds of
oats are about as much as should be fed
at once when mixed, and if more oats are
given the hay should be decreased. For
instance, five pounds of oats ana one and
. half pounds of hay may Deegiven.
Now, these facts will give us better
understanding of the effect of water on
digestion. If, after feeding hay and then
oats, we allow q horse to take large
drink Of water, considerable part of the
"ats will be carried by the water into the
intestines, and We get little Of the advan-
tage Of feeding the oats after the hay

"Yes," she faltered, tremulously. Then
in minute, the dropping face was raised,
and she went on IN frmer tone; "Mr
Atwood, / do love you, and I am willing
to be your wife, but not until feel my

Why the telegraph HUNS.

The Boston Globe solves this problem
as follows:
"Most boys believe that the hum
ming sound made by the telegraph
wires is caused by the MESSAGES hurry
ing along to their destination. Most
men believe that the sound is caused by
the vibration OF the wires in the wind.
A writer in an Austrian journal, how
ever, calls attention to the fact that one
who win give close observation to both
the wire and the sounds will find that
the latter make themselves obvious
likewise when there is total absence
of wind; and i'll a quiet morning in Win
ter, when the wires appear to be covered
with frost to the thickness of finger,
they nevertheless carry on lively vibra-
tions and singing, while the air is totally
quiet. According to this writer, there
fore, the vibrations are due, not to the
wind, but to changes of atmospheric
temperature, aud especially through
the action of cold, as a lowering of tenn
perature induces a shortening of the
wires extending over the whole length
of the conductor. A considerable
amount of friction is produced on the
supporting bells, thus inducing sound
both in the wires and the poles.

THE MAMMOTH sTEIKE.


The Bodie Standard has the follow
ing relative to strike in the Nam
moth mine, forty-two miles from Bodie:
Sunday morning Mr.. G. X. Hobbs,
President of the Booker Consolidated
Mining Company, and Director in
several of our other leading mines,
came in from Lake. Mr.. Hobbs is a
man who has had vast experience in
mining. and one whose judgment would
not be likely to be warped by a stringer
of rich ore, and our reporter sought
him out and interviewed him on the
subject. Mr.. Hobbs stated that he
visited the mine a day or two ago, and
that as at present developed it is the
richest showing that he has ever seen
in all his mining experience. The tun-
mel enters the mountain about 500 feet
below the groupings. 1t is now III a
distance of 800 feet, running nearly
north on the course Of the ledge. 1t is
in vein matter the entire distance
Three cross-cuts were run west from
the tunnel at different points for a
short distance, and nothing of great
value found. At point 2J0 feet in
the tunnel crosscut was short time
since started east. The crosscut was
in but ID feet when the ledge was cut,
which has been found at this place to
be l3 feet wide. The richness of ore is
simply beyond description or belief,
Mr.. Hobbs says. Our reporter asked
the gentleman if the whole Is feet was
of that character, and he said that it
was all very rich, but there was at
least three feet OF the kind like the
specimens brought in. On rough
guess the specimens looked as if they
would go from $4,000 to $4,000 per
ton. That it was ledge, and not a
pocket or chamber, was evidenced by
the fact that after cutting through it
another crosscut was started IN the face
of the tunnel, 100 feet further north,
and it was cut again within few feet,
and of the same rich character Mr.
Hobbs stated that when he was in the
mine this crosscut had penetrated seven
feet in the ledge, and there was no
sign of getting through, it being still in
the richest description of ore. Canvas
sacks have been sent for in order that
there may be no waste of the precious
rock. Mr.. Hobbs says that under the
circumstances it is utterly impossible to
estimate the value of the Mammoth
property. They have fine 20-stamp
mill, plenty of wood and water, and
every facility for turning out bullion
He thinks that at the south the
rich vein will be found in the
Foulks mine.
Bodie was greatly excited over the
reports, and many have left for Lake
to-day. In direct line it is about ~
miles distant, but by road, in the
neighborhood of 80.

Cheap Iatr3Inony.

Yesterday afternoon, says the Free
Press, while Detroit Justice of the
Peace sat warming his feet by the stove,
and his nose by a cigar, stranger en-
tered and presently enquired:
Judge, how much will you charge
me to read about fifteen lines of printed
matter from book l have?"
"Why, can't you read them?" re-
piled his Honor.
Il can, but i want to hear how the
lines sound when read aloud. I'll give
You quarter to read them to me-.
"Ail right, y replied the Justice; 81
can't earn two shiIIngs any quicker"
A woman entered the door at that
moment, and the stranger put down the
book on the desk, clasped her hand and
sad:
Begin at the pencil mark there, and
read slowly"
His Honor's chin dropped exactly
eighteen inches by dry measure as he
saw that the reading matter was the
usual form of marriage, but he didn't
back down from his word. 1t was the
cheapest marriage he ever attended,
and he didn't half enjoy the chuckles
of the bride and groom as they went out.
