The epizootic in a mild form, Is attacking
an the horses in this section. The first
symptoms are said 10 be as follows Heavy
coughing when the animal first comes out
Of the warm stables into the brisk air.
The animal seems seized with languor and a
growing stiffness peryades al the limbs.
The ewes become swollen aud blood shot
and the nasal passages are filed with an alb
normal secretion. Farmers and horsemen
can watch their stock, and upon the first
appearance OF the disease treat as follows /:
Keep the affecsei anin.als in warm stables,
soak their food in warm water and rub their
ihroats down With oii or WARM water. This
is the remedy used in the cities by the vet
erinary surgeons.

THE DEMAND FOR HEAVY HORSES.

| During the past fifteen years there has
been great change in the demand for
horses in this country. Formerly nearly
every one bred in relation TO speed and
endurance. Now a large proportion of far
mers breed with view to increasing size
and strength. This change is not the result
OF caprice. There has been steady.
increasing demand for heavy horses. aud
a corresponding falling of in the demand
for light ones Fashion has had little to do
in the matter. Heavy horses are wanted
because they supply an existing want.
From present appearances il will be many
years before the supply of heavy horses
will equal the demand. The country is now
well supplied with horses. At no time in
its history, perhaps. were there as many
horses To a given number of inhabitants as
at present. Small work horses are low. but
heavy draft horses continue to be high.
The importation of Clydesdale and Nor
man horses increases each year. The
first that were brought over were regard
ed as very uncertain ventures. At pres
ent they are of no doubtful value. The
importers of horses from France and Scot
land have suffered none of the rcverses of
the importers of Shorthorn cattle. With
rare exceptions they become rich. The
value of heavy draft horses was recog-
nized in the old world before it was in the
new Now that their worth is appreciated
| here all persons having heavy teaming to
do are anxious to procure them. In this
city the average size of horses appears to
increase every season, and this is true in
nearly every city in the entire country.
Large horses are less liable TO injury
from the swinging of the poles OF wagons
than small ones. Their bones are frmer,
and they are commonly more hardy. Large
horses are more economical rs respects
| harness, stall room feed, and work re-
quired TO take care of them. A large pro-
portion of the tcaming now done is over
short distances and il is more important to
draw large load than TO make the trip
quickly. Before the introduction of
heavy draft horses the teaming in the hilly
and timbcrcd portions of the country was
chiefly performed by oxen. Now oxen
are beng superseded by horses in all
these sections. Persons travelling for bus
mess or pleasure now ride in cars instead
of stages. There is still a large demand
for horses of moderate size for driving
street-cars, but breeding stage horses is a
business of the past. In all the countries
of eastern Europe heavy horses are taking
the place of light ones in general farming
operations. That American farmers will
soon generally employ heavy horses in
field work seems Facfory antt

A SKETCH.

There is a land-a lonely place
No tree or flower is there IL grace
Its fiat and bare and parched face;
Asd-evermore
The darkening shadows hriskly chase
Each other DER.
The giis,'ning streams that were are not,
Their moisteniug tendency forgot,
And all around is almost rot
For lack Of rain
10 make tina, dry aiM hardened spot
So fresh again.
The burning sun LAYS bare the heath,
Aud though no trees n shade bepueath.
a hidden stream runs clear beneath
The hard. dry crust
And some iav, bursting from lis sheath.
win lay the dust.
That geatle sircamlet running clear
Unseen. win ran until It's near
Another. richer, deeper sphere.
Aud mincling therc,
ucrilow thcbarren place and scar.
And make Il fair.
4 heart, though young and Outlines gay,
For lack OF love may fade away,
Its own pure tile is lcit 10 stray
Then nearly gone.
MAY meet q kindred heart one day.
And join in one.
