Carrots as Food for Horses.

A correspondent of long experience
calls our attention to the following ex-
tract from the London LiUP Stock Jour
nal, adding that he has himself fed car
rots to cart and other horses for thirty
years with good results, as hundreds of
others have also done throughout the
Eastern States, and that he has never
heard of any injury from their use:
We do not entirely agree with those
who maintain that the carrot is the most
wholesome and nourishing food which
can be given to horses. The carrot, says
II agriculture, is excellent when en-
ployed as tonic for old horses in order
to purify and strengthen the Blood but
its use is dangerous for young horses,
and especially for stations. 1t gives
them too much blood; makes them nerv-
Gus. irritable, .spiteful or vicious when
at work, and predisposes them to. apo.
plectic fits if they do not take enough
exercise. Geldings and mares might
not be particularly liable to inconven-
fence Of this nature; nevertheless, in all
cases carrots, should be, given with the
greatest moderation to horses sof less
than ten years of age. For horses past
this age they may be harmless; and with
oats, may constitute a valuable article
of food. Horses eat them with avidity,
especially when they are mixed with
coarse bran. This diet gives horses new
blood, which seems to restore their
youth. '.,a ..,..,
Unfortunately, the carrot is not to
be had all the year round. We need
not regret this, however. An article of
food the effect of which is so powerful
is only valuable when employed for
time. Its prolonged use is of no good;
for the body can get accustomed to
everything, even to the most violent
medicines. The carrot might be very
appropriately called the Regeneration OF
old WORKOUT horses. A horse which
has been improperly treated, is fatigued,
thin and exhausted, improves visibly
when fed upon this generous diet But
If those who have the care of the animal
are not careful to let it take regular ex-
ercise, or to lake little blood from it,
or, better still, administer a strong pur-
gative, they will find that, Just when the
embonpoint and vigor begin to be no
ticeabe, the horse is seized with apo
plexy. and perishes, Just when it APP
peared to be completely made over
again, and fit for work.

A True Dog Story.


The animal in this case is owned by
a party residing within few rods of this
Office, and the facts come directly from
the family. The dog is white terrier,
of most affectionate disposition, and
when she meets with any stranger to
whom she takes fancy she will go to
him, sit up on her hind legs, and reach
out her fore paws for recognition. A
day or two since a boy called at the
side door to beg for something to eat.
The dog trotted to the door with the
servant, who told the beggar that she
had nothing. "Give me only a piece
of Bread" said the boy. The girl an
swered that they were out of bread, and
that she was baking at that time.
Meanwhile the dog was momentarily
missed, but quickly returned bearing in
her mouth a large piece of bread that
had been previously thrown to her 30
eat, She went directly up to the boy,
extended her paws with the bread in
her mouth, and offered it to him as in
telligently as any mute being could do.
The girl was actually frightened at this
remarkable exhibition of intelligence
on the part of a dumb animal

A Sharp Pigeon.

Cats are generally thought to possess
great cunning, but no one would look
for that quality in pigeons. The other
day, however, saw something in an
alleyway behind our store that proved
that one pigeon, at least, had sufficient
craft to outwit a cat.
The bird was busily engaged in pick
ing up scatterings of grain, then our
'tabby" came forth in a stealthy man
ner, peculiar to her race, and prepared
to capture him, he not seeming to sus-
pect there was a cat within five miles.
Gradually Miss Puss wriggled up TO
place from which she could make her
deadly spring. But just as she was 60
ing to jump, the pigeon gave a sort of a
flying leap, landing some ten feet away,
and then went on picking up grain, all
the time not appearing to see his enemy.
Not discouraged by her first failure,
kitty again went through the crawling
process, until near enough for a leap,
only to see the pigeon hop beyond her
reach and continue his dinner.
This performance was repeated
reveral times. The bird, while not
appearing to notice his pursuer, was
really keeping sharp lookout, and
never allowed her to get quite near
enough for a spring. At last, in his
retreat he had reached the alleys end,
where there was no chance to go any
further.
"Now," thought I, "this fun must
end. Mr.. Pigeon will have to fly away
altogether or get caught Puss was
evidently of the same opinion, for she
approached her intended victim with
even more than usual caution. But
the seeming careless bird knew his
business better than either of us, and
picked away as though nothing was the
matter.
This time Puss actually succeeded in
making her spring, and landed just
where she intended to. But the pigeon
wasn't there! He went into the air at
exactly the right moment, and, flying
over the cats head, alighted on the very
spot from which she had just sprung.
Our cat had neither courage or
patience to endure any more of such
tritiing, and with a very detected look
disappeared through broken cellar
window, leaving Mr.. Pigeon to finish
his dinner at his leisure.-N. o. hide

AdulteratiOn.

Adulteration has become science.
We water our stock, and sand our sugar.
and dilute our prayers with many words,
and have fallen so low that we use Glue
in our ice cream. What an appetizino
combination is glue and cream. We
don t know what the glue is made of,
and for that matter we don't know what
the cream is made of, though we have
strong feeling that any self-respecting
COW would repudiate the idea that she
had anything to do with its manufact-
ure, but when the glue and the cream
are properly compounded one is able to
buy heaping plate of the refreshment
at the old price, while the. profits of the
saloon keeper are indetin tely increased.
The beauty of the glue is that it makes
the ice cream frothy, and deludes the
unwary into the belief that he gets
great deal more than he pays for. There
may, however, be moral side to this
matter, and if glue taken internally will
only make some men stick to their
word. and make others stick to their
business instead of spending most of
their time attending To other peoples,
it will cease to be ar adulteration and
become boon. NJ \. Herald.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Chocolate Biscuits: Mix some choc-
ola,e powder, with white of eggs, and
powdered loaf sugar, into paste. Mold
this into biscuits and bake them at a
gentle heat on sheet of white paper.
DR. I. II. Hoskins, of Vermont,
who has been a fruit-grower for thirty
hive years and owns an orchard of over
1000 trees, is willing to confess that
there is a great deal still to be learned
about the business" He adds: II
have never found the kind of men that
knew it all of much value as teachers"
To mark tools: Cover the part to
be marked with thin coating of tallow
or beeswax. Then, with a sharp in
strument, write the name in the tallow,
cutting clearly into it. Then fill in
the letters with nitric acid Let it re-
main from one to ten minutes. Then
dip in water and rub off, and YOU will
have the mark etched.-N. Y. San.
Pianos and organs are becoming
common at farm houses. This is all
right, as farmers daughters have as
much right to the refined accomplish
ments as city ladies. But in addition to
music, farmers daughters ought to
know how TO wash, iron. cook a good
meal, make bread, make shirts and
dresses, and then the man who marries
her gets fortune, whether she has
money or not-IOtCd State Register.
To Prepare Spiced Blackberries: To
six quarts of fruit take two and one-half
pints of sugar, one and one-half pints Of
vinegar, one-half ounce OF cinnamon
(ground), one-half ounce cloves, one
half ounce allspice and a Little mace
broken in small pieces. Boil the sugar
and vinegar together, with the spices,
putting these last into muslin bags
Then put in the berries and let them
scald, not oil.-Denoer Tribune.
"A correspondent of the Fruit Re-
corder says that cotton soaked in tur-

of the curculio. If gum camphor or
any of the essential oils. such as pep

dissolved in the turpentine it produces
