Of the popular heart must himself be
sympathetic; for it is as true in writing

Horse Lore.
Commissioner John E. Russell, before the Far
mers' Meeting at Salem, Mass.
The horse has the smallest stomach
in proportion to his size of any animal.
Fifteen OF sixteen quarts is its utmost
capacity. The space is completely
filled bv four quarts of ,Soats and the
saliva that goes into the stomach with
them. Horses are generally overfed.
and not fed often enough. For horse
with moderate work. six or eight quarts
of bruised oats and ten pounds of fine
hay n day is sufficient. This should be
if fed in four.
A horses digestion is very rapid. and
therefore he gels hungry sooner than .
man. When he is hungry he is in
effective. and wears out very rapidly.
Water fills the stomach, lowers the tenn
perature and dilutcs the gastric Juice;
therefore horse should not drink inn
mediately before eating. Neither
should he be watered Immediately after
eating. because he win drink too much.
and force some of the contents Of the
stomach ! into tile large intestincs.
which will cause securing. Securing
is also caused by too rapid eating.
which can be preventsi by placing half
dozen pebbles half the size of the fist
into the manger with the oats. Give
only moderate drink of water to q
horse. A large drink of cold water be-
fore being driven will have very quiet

Ex-General OF the confederate armies,
and now United States Senator from
Virginia. was born in Southampton.
Va, in 1927; graduated from the Vir-.
ginia Military Institute in 1S47; and al
terward, until the outbreak of the war
of secession, devoted himself to civil
engineering. He was the constructor
of the Norfolk aud Pciersburgh Rail-
road. He embarked in the secession
movement; took part in the capture of
the Norfolk Navy Yard in 1861; raised
and commanded the Sixth Virginia
Regiment. and was with it in most of
tho battles in the Peninsula campaign,
those of the Rappahannock and those
around Petersburg. Hewas made both
brigadier-general and major-general in
the year 1864. and afterwards COM
mandcd a corps In HilPs Division. At
the close of the war he returned to rail-
road engineering. and in the course of
time became president of q trunk limo
from Norfolk into Tennessee over 400
miles long. His railroad direction
has given him q power in politics.
When the Democratic party, by every
means possible, was attempting to over
throw Republican rule in Virginia. it
was Mr.. Malone who suggested that
they should indorse Mr.. Walker.
Northorn mar. and an avowed Repnb-
lican, as Governor. Walker proved to
be all that Malone had promised tho
Southerners. Since then, it is said, the
Virginia railroad king has made With
ers United States Senator and Kemper
Governor of Virginia. The insolvency
of his railroad subsequently led him
into politics still more completely, and
in default of securing the nomination
for Governor for himself he turned it
over to Holiday and elected him.. Sub
sequently he entered the field as can
didate for United States Senator at the
head of the "Readjusters," or condi-
tional repudiators, and was elected. At
tue recent election in Virginia he con-
trolled and directed the canvass in per-
son. Physically he is the smallest man
in the Senate. During the civil war
he was seriously wounded. and his wife
hearing of it. insisted, notwithstanding
assurances to the contrary, that the
wound was mortal because mo bullet
could enter his person without hitting
bone"

One of the most remarkable self
correcting machines lately invented
has been described before the ROYAL
Society of England, the details show
ing, it would seem, that the construc-
ton Of a practically useful machine
for calculating as many as eight or
tenor even more-of unknowns
from the same number of linear equa-
tons, is neither a very difficult or
over-elaborate undertaking. A fair
approximation being found by first
application of the machine, a
very moderate amount Of straight
arithmetical work suffices to calculate
the residual errors and allow the ma
chine to be reapplied to calculate the
corrections; there can, Of course, be
no limit to the accuracy thus obtain
able by successive approximations.
1t is asserted by Prof. Thomson and
other experts, who have operated this
machine, that the exceeding easiness
of each application promises we'll for
its real usefulness, whether for cases
in which single application is ade-
quate or for others in which accuracy
is reached after successive approx
nations.

SALT LAKE CITY.

Its Glory Departed as Market for Ga.
lena Ores-Phlladelph Omaha and
San Francisco Giving Much Better
Rates.
During the past two years the bulk
of our Wood River ores has gone
to Salt Lake. This was not because
better prices could be got for our ores
there, but because it was the
market nearest to us, and
our prospectors and miners
could not afford to ship farther and
wait longer for returns. This year,
however, all this is changed. Instead
of having but one market to ship to,
we have four, and instead of being
compelled to wait 40 to 60 days for
returns, the ore-seller can get his pay
within two or three days, at furthest,
or as soon as his ore is sampled. Buy
crs have come to seek our ores, in
stead Of our ores seeking buyers, and
our ore producers can now demand
the full market value of their ores.
If they do not get it here, they can
ship themselves, with the certainty of
nealizing o good advance. \ few fig
ures will demonstrate this propo-
sitioh.
Freight by wagon to the railroad
being the same for all Wood River
shippers the rates of wagon freight
need not be taken into consideration.
But when the railroad is
reached it becomes necessary, in
order to arrive at decision as to the
most favorable market, to take the
rates of freight into consideration.
Freight to Salt Lake from Blackfoot
is $3.50 per ton; to Omaha from Black
foot, $l4 per ton; to San Francisco
from kelton, $40; to Philadelphia
from Kelton, *i3 per ton lin carload
lots(. These figures indicate an adj
vantage, in favor of Salt Lake,
Of $3.50 to t8.7O per ton. This
seeming advantage is, however, more
than counterbalaneed by the difference
in the price Of lead. The reductions
for loss in smelling, moisture, ETC., are
the same at all points; but Salt Lake
only pays about half of the New York
quotations for lead, while Omaha and
San Francisco pay full New York
rates, Less one-half of one per cent,
aad Philadelphia pays full New York
rates, without any deduc-
tion whatever. Thus when
Salt Lake pays $50 per ton for lead,
San Francisco and Omaha pay $1,000
per ton, while Philadelphia pays 500.
Deducting the excess of freight paid
to the points named and we still have
difference Of t42 to $40 in favor of
either Omaha, San Francisco or Phila-
delPhia on the price of lead per ton.
This difference is SO great that there
can be M doubt that very shortly, or
- soon = y becomes geperaily known,
all shipments of heavy galcna or lead
ores to Salt Lake will cease.
For "dry" or milling ores, however,
Wood River times. [volume] (Hailey, Idaho) 1882-1915, 1882-09-08

no great advantage exists in shipping
to any of the points named, and, un.
til the completion to HALEY Of the
Wood River branch Of the Oregon
Short Line, Salt Lake will doubtless
continue to secure that class of ores.
