THE NEW CANAL,

The Committee on the New Basin, Canal and
Shell Road have not as yet sent in their re-
port to the House, though 1t Ia anticipated
that they will do 80 ct very early day.
This anticipation 10 founded upon the care
full examination made Of the canal by the
committee, and also upon the great impor.
lance Of the subject they have been called
upon to consider--a subject concerning which
tho people Of the Florida parishes, and our
own citizens, throug h the Chamber Of Com
merce and the press, have spoken In no un-
certain TERMS The days Of the session Of the
Legislature are slipping rapidly away, and II
ID Of the very greatest Importance to the
commerce Of our city that this sadly
neglected waterway shall be taken from lie
present control and turned over to the State
30 that the absolutely necessary repairs and
improvements may be made.
The wretched condition of the canal is mat
ter Of public notoriety. and the lake parishes
that have for years been grievously injured
by the high tolls charged by the lessee and
the dangerous and laborious navigation. are
naturally anxious that early action shall be
taken In a matter that concerns them sc
deeply. New Orleans has been saddled with
this incubus long enough, and has submitted
with extraordinary meekness to an imposi-
tion that would have long ago worked tte
own cure In any other community; but she
now demands the abatement OF the nuisance
and looks to the committee to perform ite
duty fearlassly. no matter who may be In.
iured. It Is matter that calls for prompt
and decided action, and we trust the report ol
the committee will not be much longer dc.

Of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad to the
Chamber Of Commerce OF San Francisco stating
that the company had authorized the I'm medi-

the condition OF moth, and that It hibernates

Feeding Horses.

More horses are annually killed OF
injured by oyer-feedlug and by iJudl'
cIous feeding than by starving or
most other causes, III horses We can
detect as many different tempera'
ments and dispositions as Ia man,
though but few horse owners take
this fact into consideration Ii tho man
agement Of their horses, particularly
Ia that part Of 1t relating to food and
feeding, Some horses are natural glut'
tons, and they must be seen to carefully
or they will, ut times, DO apt 10 serl'
oasly lujure themselves by feeding too
fast while much OF the food they con-
sumo will pass through them undige't'
cd, for the simple reason that II 10
swallowed before II has been properly
masticated, We like TO see what Ia
termed a good feeder (oue who
does not mlnee or pick his foods but
then, We are not at al partial to the
rayeneu, one sdch a horse as the
latter named will dive into bis feed
with mouth wide open, and invariably
take more at q moulhiul than hc eau
either hold IL his mouth or properly
masticate, There are several ways to
fix such fellows, Que way being to
mix some little fine hay with his oats !
while moistcnins the oats or
feeding out food prevents him from
pandering to his greedy propensity.
A horse with q delicate appetite is
usually leader, delicate animal, and
not at all desirable.
The trouble with most persons who
keep horses, no matter whether on
farms for teamwork or for driving
proposes, Is, they feed too much hay;
aud TO this cause can be attributed
the general sluggishness often mani
tested by the horses until they
have been working couple of hours,
while tho wind is also much impaired.
Night is the only time when hay
should be fed, especially to animals
used for quick work. Even the snow
plow team should have but little hay
at the morning or noon feeds; but
give them generous supply at the
evening meal, BY doing tins, your
horse will keep in better spirits and
condition, and free from any tendency
to "pol.belly," which horsemen so
much dislike to see.
