Feed and Care of Horses.

A correspondent of the Michigan
Farmer gives the following excellent
suggestion as to the treatment Of horses:
In the summer months very many
farmers teams fall away and lose the
condition they have been brought to
during the previous fall and winter, by
generous feeding and good care, and
this in spite Of Tin many instances) an
increase in their grain ration; and as
the time approaches for tho heavy fall
work they arc incapable of performing
nearly as much as II they could have
been kept in good flesh.
A glance at the chief reasons for this
may DO productive Of good. In tho
first place let us s e what n majority OF
| the farm horses are fed on. Corn in
( tho car forms the chief feed. with dry
! hay, of the working horse of this coun-
| try, or in tho west at least the year
around. Now corn, as is well known,
contains a very large proportion OF fat
producing elements; and II muscle was
formed Of fat, corn would be tho best
feed In the world to give . horse
strength; but Is it does not. we must
| conclude that corr does not contain

Probably at no time in the history OF
the world have sanitary and hygienic
laws been so carefully studied as they
are at the present Psychologists, have
made experiments upon the lower
animals in order to elucidate the causes
OF certain diseases. hoping in this way
to discover a means to prevent their
appearance, and lately most surprising
results have been attained through
their efforts. and there is a fair promise
that sanitary science will enable us to
entirely eradicate the more virulent of
epidemic diseases. Lately the ehicien-
cy OF vaccination us q preventive OF
smallpox has been questioned by some
redical practitioners. and this fact has
given rise to considerable discussion
among physicians. The fact seems to
be that humanized vaccine gradually
loses its efficiency through iive
transmissions, and greater reliance
should be placed on the pure b wine
lymph than upon that from n human
subject. 1t must also be observed that
the immunity which vaccination secures
does not continue so long as it formerly
did. In Jenner's time it was thought,
and apparently with good reason, that
a single vaccination was sufficient for
q lifetime, but for some reason it i now
necessary to repeat the operation nj
short intervals to preserve immunity
Whether this is entirely owing to the
deterioration of the lymph or partly due
to an increase in the virulence OF the
disease itself is not known. Probably
few are aware of how greatly the NOR
tality from this disease has increased
Of late years among ~vaccinated persons.
From 1919 to 1885 the percentage of
mortality was LIS; from 1886 to 1852
it was SO; from 1852 to 1867 it had in
creased to re. and now it is over 0 per
cent.-New York Times.
