For the fourth time i'm the history

How Mach Water.

A correspondent asks how much
water should horse have to drink.
That depends very much OH variety
of circumstances, and is as difficult tc
determine rs would be the question,
show much should o horse have &c
eatp" Some horses will eat or drink
more or less than others. In fact, what
would prove on an average full and
sufficient ration for ono horse, would
not be moro than half enough for an.
other horse of same size and to enable
him 10 perform the same amount Of In.
bor. The quantity of drinking water
necessary for horse must be regulated
according to circumstances, such rs
whether the horse Is kept in idlcness OF
ut work, the season, whether winter OF
summer. etc. There are some rules to
be remembered in this connection.
Drinking water ought never to be given
Immediately before OF after q meal.
Horses should never be gallopcd after
drinking; 1t has been the death OF
thousands, and Is apt to occasion gripes,
Inflammation and broken wind. II u
horse be allowed 70 drink at river or q
pond during n journey, no should never
be permitted to take moro than half his
Till, and after walking him short dis
tance, he may be urged 10 gentle trot.
The fact may not be generally known
that q horse allowed 10 drink at pleas
ure, will consume less water In tho
course Of twenty.four hours, than he
would do II watered by tho pail. and al
lowed to take his ill Mt each Offering.
It Is, indeed, proved by experiment,
that q horse win drink less In this way
by a gallon day, upon an average. In
order to take of the hardness, chill or
any other noxious properties from the
water, II should be put into n trough in
tho yard, aud exposed during tho day To
the full action Of the sun or the air.

Prof. Alfred L. Loomis, In his
Medical Talk" in New York, says: In
some parts of the West and South it il
customary to mix whisky with the wa
ter to destroy the poison, but those
who do it simply take two poisons in
stead OF one, and they do not counter
act each other. The whisky rather
helps the malarial poison along. 1t
has been q question whether quinine
has power to combat malaria 1t has
the power Of averting the generation
of malarial poison for time. but 1t
will not cure. 1t is, however, the only
thing that can combat malarial poison,
and hence Tn an advocate of quinine.
You can do harm with it. but it will
be hard work. I don't believe in con-
stantly taking quinine, even If you
dwell in an affected district. Take a
dose whenever you need relief. 1t will
relieve you for time. If you have
neuralgia and headache. and sometimes
get bilious. and have q numbness that
makes you apprehensive of approach
ing paralysis, you are very likely in a
chronic condition of malarial affection.
Quinine will relieve you temporarily,
and II you 90 to the seaside or to the
mountains. you will be freed.

THE DAIRY.

"A well-known western dairyman,
who has experlmented with the "anti-
huff" compound. both in buttermilk
and sweet milk, says there appears little
change at first, but in a week the milk
becomes red like blood, that it seemed
to dissolve the caseine in buttermilk.
Examining 1t under the microscope he
discovered CRYSTALS Of bicarbonate of
soda and bicarbonate Of potash.
Butter dealers claim that the stand
ard OF first-class butter isgetting higher
every year, and what would readily sell
for choice article few years ago is
now put down as second or third rate.
Very few dairy lots now coming in from
Vermont or New York run even, and
after selecting two or three tubs from
an invoice, the remainder has to be sold
at . very low price.-Boston TrdUeller.
The exposure of the windows of the
cheese room should be toward the north
and east and in cold weather double
sash is most desirable. In this close,
even room, we are able to detect the
aroma Of the strictly fine cheese. On
opening the door to enter. the perfume
strikes the sense most pleasantly. The
odor can be likened to that from many
fragrant sources, as fancy dictates. At
ono time, in turning up the cheese, the
perfume of the pineapple is certainly
apparent; again, we think only of the
strawberry, or the rose. Under what
ever name, there it is, q delicately
subtle exhalation of the cheese curds,
which shows the maker where he
stands. The character of that cheese
is fixed beyond question. If the pa
irons would take pains to inform them
selves on this point of flavor it might
help them to decide how the work of
the season Is progressing. This perfume,
however, need not be looked for unless
all other exterior signs of cleanliness
and care correspond. 1t will not be
found in connection with cracked. leaky
cheese, or in q room where the floor is
allspotted over with whey running from
the tables.
"A correspondent of the Utica, N.
Y, Herald says his correspondent in
England writes him as follows: If
Americans send adulterated goods to
this country they will, in my opinion,
kill the goose that laid the golden egg.
The English cheese eating people are
becoming reconciled to American
cheese, (against which, in many Sec
tions, there has existed o strong preju-
dice), but II they take up the scare, the
same as in American bacon, the demand
will materially decrease. Now is the
time when the make and quality should
be the very best. The cheese makers
of this country are about giving in be-
fore the American competition; but if q
reaction sets in and the public pass
American and demand homemade
goods, the now rapidly decreasing
make Of English cheese will be revived
and Americans will have all their work
to 60 over again to regain popularity.
