Charcoal ss Eaaa for Live steck.

Charcoal has recently been fsc0rH<
nended rs sn addition to the food of AMI
mails. as it increases their power Of ac-
cumulating fat. and promotes the rapid
and healthy production of flesh. This
was recently proved BY taxing the live
weights of two lots of sheep, and simply
separating them by an ordinary net;
the artificial food. corn and cake. being
carefully weighed out TO each lot alike
daily, one pint of charcoal being added
to one lot only. When re-weighed, prior
TO selling to the butcher. the increase
in weight was in favor of charcoal BY
16. 25 per cent. Sanitation causes easy
and complete digestion; and assimils-
ton only can account for these results,
which charcoal alone can accomplish
The charcoal should be given mixed
with the food, except in urgent cases,
when il may be mixed in water or thin
Cruel. and given as drench. The dose
Is one pint to every twenty-five head If
sheep or lambs, oEe-quarter pint per
head for full-grown cattle. horses or
pigs. half the quantity for young cattle,
and two teaspoonfuls to one dessert
spoonful for young calves. daily, when
suifefing from disease, or in i'll cOndi-
ton. To keep In good health. and
fortify against diseases. the dose should
be gwen two or three Zines per week.
according TO the class of food they are
having. and the state of the atmosphere.
The best plan is to wet n quantity of
bran. pollard (malt-combings); mix the
charcoal among it. and then among the
food you give them. For rapid and
healthy fattening of cattle, ii should
be used daily among their food.
Charcoal for internal and medicinal
purposes must be pure vegetable char
coal, free from all irritating and injuri-
Gus foreign matter. The charcoal when
coming into the users possession must
be kept perfectly dry, and free from
any ill-smelling surroundings. such as

An interesting story is told in con-
nection with the old State Prison at
ChariestOwn. which shows how small
and Insignificant a thing may give
liberty TO q prisoner. A convict had
been sentenced to Imprisonment for
fifteen years for committing q series Of
burgiaries. and had served between
three and four years when one day he
brought \ small chip of wood from the
shop where he was engaged in labor to
his cell. This fact was not worthy of
notice at the moment. When. however,
the prisoner. with others. had marched
to their cells. he placed the chip in such
way, as 10 prevent the bolt of the door
Of his cell from fastening. The officers
on duty made their usual inspection.
saw each man in kis cell and so reported.
After the inspection had been made the
CO Ivict in question opened his cell door.
closed it again and passed quickly out
Of I side door into the yard. In a
moment he had gained the shop where he
worked Here he put on pair of over
alls belonging to one of the instructors
employed BY contractors, and from there
he got upon the prison wall and enter
ing one of the guard houses be found
an overcoat which he donned. He was
nOH ready to bid adieu TO the prison.
His movements were in no way slow,
for he knew that at any moment his
absence might be noticed and tine
officers be upon his track. Leaping
from the wall the convict was soon IN
the street and off '-for parts unknown
At one o'clock. when the prisoners
were to return to the shops for the after
noon, the absence Of the escaped man
was noticed. and although diligent
search was made and the usual reward
offered for his arrest, the fellow WAS

Clover Hay.

IL is n prevalent and well-founded be
lief that clover hay is not 4 desirable
food for horses. and that il provoEes the
comm n disease known rs .-heaves.r' Ii
has been supposed that il is the dust in
the hay which produces the disease by
Irritating the sensitive lining MEM

suPpOsitiOn is probably a mistake.
Clover hav is not necessarily dusty, not
nearly so mDch so rs timothy cut be-
fore it is ripe. in which the immature
blossom exists in the form of fine dust.
which. being partly pollen, has a very
Irritating effect upon the membranes.
And yet we are recommended TO feed

the clover hay for cows. Now. hea-es
Is nervous disorder. and does not
arise from irritation of the bronchial
membranes. This condition # the mem
branes. with the resulting thickening of
them and consequent obstruction Of the
air passages. produces the disorder
known as roaring. or wheezv, noisy res
piratiOn. but not the heaTinc of the
Hanks. which Is the effect of the spas
mod action of the diaphragm. produced
BY disOrdered nervous acton, and
~hich Is known as heaves. II is more
probable that the nitrogenOus quality
of the clover hay is the real cause Of
the disorder. rs food rich in nitrogen
stimulates the nervous system. while
food rich in starch. as potatoes. for IN
stance. has a very favorable effect upon

Cotton-seed-meal and peas are also
