THE THIKTEENTH DISTRICT.

Much has been said relative to the
Thirteenth Congressional District
being very doubtful one for the Re-
publlcans. The counties that COM
pose this district are part Of South
west Missouri, and If for no other
reason, we teeI much in common
with the Democrats who belong in
it, and whom we are glad to see
striking effective blows tor the party S
success in the coming campaign.
The following from the Neosho
Times shows that no quarter will be
given the Republicans:
The Democrats OF the Thirteenth
Congressional District are showinga a
good morale for the approaching con-
test. The Bolivar Herald, IN a spirit
cd article on the situation, breathes
plucky political combat and predicts
the election of the Democratic Candi-
date. We Join in the spirit and pre-
diction. We do not give any credit to
anybody In or around the Legislature
for expecting that the Thirteenth
would turn out to be Democratic
district-thev expected no such thing !;
1t would have given them the belly
ache to think o. it; but the Demo-
Gratis of this corner of the State ar
rived at :. different conclusion after
having been formally handed over,
by their own guardian angels, to evil
spirits. We now say decidedly that
the district cannot be judged accu-
rately by the vote of 1850. The
Democracy can do much better than
they did then-but they must have a
good candidate for Congress who
knows how to set the echoes OF the
canvass flying to keep Democrats up
to their work; and what our own
men happen to fail in, George Vest
must come and do for us. All the
Democratic papers of the district
agree with the Herald; there is
''git up and git'' feeling prevailing
the Democracy. If this increasing
confidence of success shall be cult
waited assiduously the Democracy of
this district will wind up the cam
paisn with rousing, memorable
victory.

MORE HORSE STEALING.
John Armstrong Lodged IN Jail Tor
Stealing his Fathers Horse.

Deputy Sheriff Sam. Beall and J.
T. Gorrell arrived in the city on the
Friday train from Rich Hill with
Iohn Armstrong who was lodged in
iail for horse stealing. From Mr..
Gorrell TIMES reporter learned
the facts in the case as follows:
John Armstrong is son of J. b.
Armstrong OF Walnut township,
this couney. On Wednesday night
Iohn stole horse from his fathers S
stable and rode It into Rich Hill and
put up at the livery stable.
Yesterday evening the father and
another son arrived in Rich Hill on
the hunt for the stolen animal, not
supposing that John had committed
the deed. In the mean time John
had left town toward Nevada.
Deputy Sheriff Beall, Gorrell and
one or two others, at once began
operations to capture the thief and
recover the property. The party
travelled half the uight@ a1d finally
got their man near Balltonn. Yer
non county.
The prisoner was brought back to
Rich Hill and given preliminary
trial early this morning, and falling
to give bond OF $500 required by
the court, was sent to Butler as sta
ted in the outset.
This is the second or third time
John has stolen or attempted to
steal his fathers horses.

A paper has been circulated

A paper has been circulated
among our merchants to the effect
that after (unc I. 1882, the subscri-
bers to the articles OF agreement
therein contained close their busl-
ness houses to the public at 7:3o
o'clock in the evening, save on Sat
urday when they are at liberty
to hold open as long as they desire.
The following firms have signed the
agreement and commenced the prac-
trce of its provisions: Sam'l. Levy
& Co., McClntock & Burns, J. H.
Christopher, Aaron Hart and r.
We'll & Co. This is metropolitan
step. as in the large cities all busi-
ness houses of any Importance close
their doors at 6 O'Clock p. NJ. Ex-
perience has proven to them that
they not only do not lose anything
by it, but draw custom away from
those smaller establishments which
do not comply with this rule. In a
city of the proportions of Butler,
however, the hour decided upon in
this agreement is the best that
could be chosen. 1t is to be hoped
that every dry goods and boot and
shoe dealer in the city will sign this
agreement, but in case they do not,
popular favor will rest with those
who do, and thereby benefit them.

Stable Management

Feeding is one of the most important
duties in the stable. Horses require to
be fed at regular hours, and IN such
quantities as will keep the subjects in
condition to perform their daily labor.
Horses at work require about two per
cent, of their live weight as the daily al
lowance Of food. From 1G to Is lbs. of
grain, and an equal weight ofhay, would
be considered liberal allowance for a
large horse in full work. Small, or idle
horses, would not require more
than half that amount. as the quantity
of food will depend upon the size, and
the amount of work required of them.
They must be fed enough to supply the
natural waste Of the body, and to resup-
ply the substance exhausted by the labor
performed.
1t is no good policy to let work horses
get thin. 1t costs more to put on flesh
than it does to Keep it on. Flesh that
becomes hardened by exercise will be
kept up with less food, uader the same
work, than it took to put it on. From
10 to 30 lbs. of food will about supply the
daily, consumption of horses, large and
The English cavalry horses are fed 10
quarts Of oats and 12lbs. of hav three
times a day. The American cavalry
horses have had the English rations in
creased to Is or IA quarts of oats and an
equal amount of hay three times day.

Washed and Unwashel Butter.

Washed and Unwashed Butter.
American Dairynlan.
The difference between washed and
unwashed butter is analogous to the diff
ference between clarified and unclarified
sugar. The former consists Of pure sac
charine matter, while the latter, though
less sweet, has a flavor in addition to
that of the pure sugar When unwashed
there is always little bnttermilk adher-
ing to the butter that gives it 4 peculiar
flavor, in addition to that Of pure butter,
which many people like when it is new.
Washing removes all this foreign matter,
and leaves only the taste of the butter
pure aud simple. Those who prefer
the taste of the butter to
that of the former in
grcdlent mixed with it like the washed
butter best. The flavor Of butter con-
slsts Of fatty matters, which do not COM
bine with water at all, and therefore
cannot be washed away by it. The cf-
feet of washing upon the keeping quail
ties of butter depends upon the purity
of the water used. If the water con-
tains no foreign matter that will affect
the butter it Keeps the better for having
the buttermilk washsd ont instead of
worked ont. Evidently the grain Of the
butter will be more perfectly preserved
if the buttermilk be removed by careful
washing. The grain is such an impor-
tant factor in the makeup of fine butter
that it is necessary We should be very
particular not to iniure it in any way if
we would excel in the art OfbUtter-r,ak-

racehorse is allowed from Is to 20 quarts
of oats per day, and nearly as much hay
as the hunter, being usually fed five
times a day. ..'',..:. -, :.
The feet and legs Of horses feouire
particular attention. 1t is an old saving
with horsemen, Keep the feet and legs
in order and the body will take care Of
ITSELF" The legs are the first to fail.
The horse, when brought in from severe,
protracted exertion. should be rubbed
down dry. His legs, from the knees and
knocks down, should be we'll hand
rubbed, so that friction will create in
sensible perspiration; that will tend to
prevent swelled legs, stiff joints. con-
tracted tendons, and swelled knees.
When the legs are feycred from over
driving, they should he bandaged with
wet cloths to take away the heat, and
prevent nd-galls, that prove eye-sores,
and which, without diminishing the ca
pacity for labor, materially affect the
market value Of the hors'.
The plan of stopping the feet twice =
week in dry weather is adopted by many
with horses used for fast work. The
stufling generally used consist Of equal
parts Of clay and COW dung. Moss or
tow is cleaner stuling and quite supe-
rior to clay as an antidote for thrush and
frog diseases. 1t can be packed in drv
and wetted afterwards. 1t will leave the
feet sweet, clean, and soft, when washed
out regularly with warm, salt water.
Stufiing prevents the feet from becoming
dry and brittle.

Wesley's Tach
From London Society.

io'A AOuuOIl COClcty.
The following anecdote of the founder
of Methodism has, we believe, neve,
been published. It reaches us from a
trustworthy source, and it illustrates in
remarkable manner the mingled tact
and piety of that eminent man.
Although Wesley, like the apostles,
found that his preaching did not greatly
affect the mighty or the noble, still he
numbered some families of good position
among his followers. It was at the
house of one of these that the incident
here recorded took place. Wesley had
occn preaching; and daughter ofa
nel.hborlng gentleman, a girl remark
able Tor her beauty, had been profound
~ impressed by his exhortations. A.
ter the sermon Wesley was invited to
TINS gentleman's house to luncheon. and
with himself one Of his preachers was en-
tcra'ined. This preacher, like many of
tne class at that time, was man of plain
manners, and not conscious of the re.
straints Of good society. The fair vouno
Methodist sat beside him at the table,
and he noticed that she wore a number
Of rings. During pause in the meal
the preacher took hold of the Young
lady's hand, and raising it in the air.
cailed Wesley's attention to the spark
ing jewels. "What do you think ofth;s.
sir" he said, cor Met1odist's hand9'
The girl turned crimson. For Wesley.
with his known and expressed aversion
to tlnery, the question was peculiarly
Awkwark one. But the aged evangelist
showed a tact which Chesterfield might
nave envled.. He looked up with a quiet,
HenSvolent i' smile, and simply said. ''The
