A Graphic writer thus sums up the whole O
r. Blacks novel:
Mcleod of Dare was a Scottish lad:
And he loved an actress pretty;
his nome was up in the Highlands wild,
AND hers in London city.
He occupied castle with
His mother and his cousin,
A brave and LOVING son was he,
The last of half a dozen.
Miss White was young aud clever, too,
And falrer than lily:
She danced and sang divinely and
She played In Piccadiy.
He went to town and told his love
And made her very happy;
Although of course, be tailed to please
Her sister or her pappy.
And she reciprocated
Until abe took trip TO Dare
And then her love abated.
For WIN? There was high art chap
With whom she was acquainted,
a connosseur of crockery
And carpets; and he painted.
He showed her all his pictures rare
His brio brac collections,
And-well, the upshot of it was
He won her young affections.
As for Mcleod. he could not sleep
Nor eat. Obi what pity;
And so he ordered up his yacht
And sailed to London city.
Into his cabin he decoyed
This actress young and silly;
Then locked the door and hoisted sail
And-good-bye Piccadilly.
They say the boat was wrecked, and that
Mcleod and she were drown-ded
One stormy night; but believe
The rumOr is unfounded.
And IL thorough search were made,
That somewhere in the Highlands;
In Oban, Appin or Bunaw,
Or ia the Western Islands;
In Colonsay, or Rum or Skye;
In Ulva or Gometra;
In Lunga, Fladda, Staffa Coll,
Iona, Null, ct cetera;
Within some ruin old and damp,
Or cavern dark and dirty,
Without u doubt would soon he found

WATERING Horses.

Water, so essential to the life and health
of the horse, yet proves when iDjudiciously
used fruitful source of mischief. Water
should not be given to horse in large guam
titles shortly before being put to work, or on
bis leaving off work while much heated, still
less when jaded or exhausted. When icy
cold, heavy draught of water, taken by a
tagged and hungry horse, often produces col
ic and sometimes even inflammation of the
bowels. To remedy this, in some large es-
adjustments, exhaust steam is passed
through the horse-troughs, keeping the water
at temperature of about 45o. Others sup
ply their horses from buckets which have
stood filled Tor some hours in the stable, thus
taking of the chill. The difficulty in the lat
ter method, or even with that which keeps
water constantly before horse, is that the
animal is particularly delicate about what he
drinks, and cannot endure tepd, stale or i'm
pure water, while water thus exposed in
stable is liable to become tull of impurities
and impregnated with ammonia and other
gases.
The time of watering horses is of even more
Importance than the temperature. Where
animals have frequent access to water, there
Is little risk of their taking more than is good
for them. 1t is when the horse has been too
long deprived of water, and Is over-thirsty
and tired that great care must be exercised in
uot permitting zoo c0plOuS oraugnts. Great
danger sometimes follows greedy drinking
perfectly digested grain is washed EDWARDS
into the larger bowels, and is then inclined
to excite acute and fatal disease. A few swal-
lows Of water on his return from work will do
no horse harm, unless he is excessively over
heated or Frustrated. When horses are work.
Ing on the road they should be watered,
cleaned and fed early, allowing quite an in
terval of time before starting out with them
in the morning. Horses should be watered
often when at work, say once in eight or ten
though from few swallows to half bucket
at the most is sufficient. The stomach of a
horse is so small in comparison with the rest
OF bis body that large draughts of water at
time improperly distend the stomach, hence
smaller quantities should be given at frequent
ly recurring intervas.-Amer. CultiratOr.

Horses.

One of the best horsemen in the country
offers the following suggestions, as the result
OF close observation and long experience, in
judging of horse by outward appearances:
If the color be light sorrel, or chestnut, bis
feet, legs, and face white, these are marks of
kindnesks..
If be is broad between the eyes, he may be
depended upon as a horse of good sense, and
capable of being trained to an Ything.
As respects such horses, the more kindly
you treat them, the better you will be treated
by them in return. Nor will horse of this
description stand whip, ii well fed.
II you want a safe horse, avoid one that is
dished-faced. He may be so far gentle as not
to scare; but he will have too much go-ahead
in him to be safe with everybody.
1t you want fool, but horse of great bot
tom, get a deep bay, with not white hair
about him. II his face is little dished, so
much the worse. Let no man ride such
horse that is not an adept in riding. They
are tricky and unsafe.
IT you want one that will never give out,
never buy large, overgrown one.
A black horse cannot stand heat, nor
white one cold.
If you want gentle horse, get one with
more or less white about the head; the more
the better. Many people suppose the parti-
colored horses belonging to the circuses
shows, etc., are selected for their oddly.
But the selections thus made are on account
of their great doclity and gentleness.
1t is good sign for a horse to carry one
ear forward and the other backward when on
journey. because this stretching OF the ears
in contrary directions shows that he is attent-
i've to every thing that is taking place around
him and while he is doing so he cannot be
much fatigued, or likely soon to become SO.
Few horses sleep without pointing their ears
approach of object in.every direction. 'When
horses or mules,'' says DR.. Arnott. "march in
company at night. those in the front direct
their ears forward, those in the rear, direct
them backward, and those in the centre turn
them lateraly or across; the whole troop
seeming thus to be actuated by one feeling,
which watches the general safety"

To Make Hens Lay.

Put two or more quarts of water in a ket-
tie, and one large seed pepper, or two small
ones, then put the kettle over the fire. When
the water boils stir in coarse Indian meal I'M
til you have a thick mush. Let it cook an
hour or SO; feed hot. Horse radish chopped
fine and stirred into mush as prepared in the
above directions, and for results we are get
ting from five to ten eggs per day, whereas,
previous 10 feeding we had not had eggs for
a long time. We hear good deal of COM
plant from other people about getting eggs.
To such we would warmly recommend cook
ed feed, fed hot. Boiled apple skins, season.
ed with red pepper, or boiled potatoes season.
ed with horse radish are good tor feed; much
better than uncooked food. Corn, when fed
to the hen, by itself, has tendency to fatten
rather than produce the more profitable egg
laying. A spoonful of sulphur stirred with
their feed occasionally will rid them of YER
min and tone up their systems. Is is espec-
tally good for young chickens or turkeys.
Out of flock of ten Matched last November
we have lost but one. They have been fed
cooked food mostly and are growing finely.
