HeayeS in Horses.

The ailment is almost exclusively
confined to mature animals. It is
due mainly to the use of feed Of a
bulky character, but dusty hay and
grain, as well as clover hay, are also
prolific causes of it. One form OF it
is generally produced by hard gal
lop or other severe exertion after a
full meal. In the South the disease
is generally known as "bellows;;' and
in the prairie States it is compare
lively rare. There is no certain cure
for it, but broken.winded horses will,
if properly fed, do great deal o.
service, though the work assigned
them should be slow. The feed should
be in small compass, and given reg
ularly four times a LAY. It should
consist of oats, beans, wheat straw,
chaff, turnips or carrots, with at
night a little bright. hard stalked
hay, free from dust. Clean, cured
,scorn.stalks, in SMALL quantity, have
also proven beneficial. Grain and
grass should be the chief feed in the
summer, and grain with hroots in win
ter. Water should be allowed spar
ingly at a time, and the horse should
never be used for an hour or so after
being fed and watered. Arsenic in
small doses is a favorite remedy with
dealers, as in nearly all cases 1t eff.
fects temporary cure more or less
complete. They usually begin with
three grains a day, increasing to Eve
a day in a week, and continue for
three or four weeks, giving from jiie inc
to twelve grains daily il net 5f5 a remedy
that we We would recommend to horse
owners who wish to use their horses.
Dealers employ it because it removes
the disease at least temporarily. AS
the appetite is morbidly ravenous,
leading the affected animal to eat the
litter, etc., the bedding should be re-
moved by day and the horse be muz'
zled by night. A lump of rock salt
at one end OF the manger and a
chunk of chalk at the other have
been found benefcial.-Ruol Ne'r

Protecting Orchards by Hedges

When a man sets out a fruit gar
den or young orchard he should at
the same time surround II with a
hedge. 1t is not necessary that the
hedge should be thorny one. 1t
may be of any densely growing tree
or shrub, or an evergreen, in which
four or FIVE barbed wires placed sue
ceasively within thu hedge while 1t
is growing would make it as impas-
sable as thorns and more difficult to
get through than the same number
of barbed wires alone, because the
numerous branches of the hedge
would hold the wires immo7ably to
their places. In this way the buck
thorn, anG even the privet, neither
of which are strong enough alone for
an efficient hedge, might be made
impregnable, and on account OF their
natural growth they would require
mach lees labor to keep within com
mon hedge bounds than the taller
and more rapidly growing Usage
orange Or honey locust. Very fey
thieves would be likely to attempt
the passage of such barriers, and
these hedges would greatly redace
the depredations on the orchards
The owners of such protected grounia
could work with some spirit in asso,
citation with others in promoting cor
r,ct education, ditfusing q good in
fuence and in securing the enact
m mt of right laws-C6untry Gsm

Should Not be Tolerated by
the People.
From the Wheeling Leader.

Over in the Second Congressional
District the newspapers are kicking
up a great row over who shall be the
next Representative, whether Mr..
Lucrs or Judge Hoge, the present
incumbent, both of whom are ster-
ling Democrats, and the district is
heavily Democratic. So far as we
can Judge from this distance the
fight is not only uncalled for but
detrimental to the best interests of
the district, the State and the party.
Judge Hoge has had one term ia
Office and in that short time, if
Washington whisperings are reliable,
he has assembled to the lead of the
West Virginia delegation in the
House, and is a representative that
the State may well be proud of. And
moreover we have yet to hear of
single justifiable complaint of his
course in Congress. This thing of
throwing a good man overheard
simply for the purpose of gratifying
the greed of another mans selfish
ambition, is political pest that
should not be tolerated, and we tru. t
the people Of the Second District
will act accordingly and return

they will have no trouble in getting
a purchaser. They have refused a

to sell. The proprietors are per-

Mr.. A &. HARNESS, Of Moore
field, sends us a circular announcing
himself as an independent candidate
for Congress in this district. We
have not the pleasure of an acquaint'
ance with the gentleman, but judge
from his circular that he is a full
hedged "Reformer," and means to
kick the bottom out of old time pol
iticians and parties. Mr.. Harness is
an author and a poet, and has pub
lished a book, "The Great Trial" a
copy of which he sends us.
We are sure Mr.. Harness would
find it much more congenial to in
dulge his genius and fancy in writ
ing books and poetry, than to sub
iect himself to all the annOyances
incident to a seat in Congress. We
merely throw out the hint, not sup
posing for moment that Mr. Har-
ness will notice or act on it. When
man gets the Congressional bee in
his bonnet he rarely has time to listen
