For fast driving oats may be the best
food for horses; but we hold TO the old
fashioned mode Of feeding horses, which
was generally in vogue from forty to
sixty years ago, and is still so among
great many people, even livery stable

and short cut straw, mixed with suffi.
Gent quantity of water to make IL
palatable, half dozen ears OF corn per

capable of doing the hardest WORK q
horse can be put to, by this mode OF

RIIIInE the weeds In August.

There is no better month in which to
kill the Canada thistle, rs well as weeds
generally and the destruction Of bushes
than August. 1t is also peculiarly q
time when farmers are not so much
hurried, and when the weeds have fully
developed themselves. Tho farmer can
see at a glance, indeed has seen all the
season, the necessity OF commencing
the work of destruction.
The best thing to be done with weeds
of all kinds extirpated from the land,
or to gather them in large heaps to re-
main there until dry, and then burn
them up, 'roOt and branch" The
practice Of some farmers who look only
TO their own selfish purposes, who live
for themselves, and rarely have neigh
Dor with whom they are on friendly
terms, is to pull up aud throw into the
public highway the weeds from their
fields. There they are left 10 ripen
their seed, and the first heavy shower
of rain that comes, they are carried
away, sometimes for miles, either into
the land of some other farmer, or into a
stream, to he landed along the banks
for a great distance. We have more
than once seen people calling them
selves farmers and Christians engaged
in this mean business.

The Cannibal Nurse and Her victim

A reporter of THE CRITIC called at the
residence of Mr.. George W. Barnes, GIL
South Carolina avenue southeast, this
morning to see the little victim of Mary
Jackson, the colored female cannibal. He
was ushered into the house by Mrs. Barnes,
who went into an adjoining room aud soon
appeared with the little boy. He is a
bright, chubby little fellow, of three years,
with large and sparkling blue eyes and
golden hair. The sleeves of his dress were
rolled up, disclosing pair of fat, dimpled
arms, Scared from wrist to shoulder by q
series of vicious bites.
"He is real good-natured little boy"
said the mother affectionately, "and l can
not understand why the girl bit him in this
outrageous manner
"Of course you are going to have her ar
rested ?" queried the indignant reporter.
"No, sir. Although she has inflicted
these marks upon my haby and caused him
intense pain, do not want to prosecute
her."
After urging that the matter be given to
the police in the interests of the commu-
nifty, the reporter withdrew, fully i'm
pressed with the idea that the rabid canni-
bal should be arrested and given the extent
of the law for her inhuman action.

STOCK on hand to buck against of about 3d.

the extent OF which nobody knows. Now, where
is the element OF speculation in this? Yet the
