The Horse of All Trades.

"What kind Of a horse should the all
purpose horse be ?" was asked of Colonel
Coleman, Of Illinois; and he replied,
ut should be a horse sixteen hands
high, with good serviceable body and
limbs, and then the more style he has
the better. IT he carries a fine head on
4 well arched neck, if he has a long
bushy tail, and an active way Of going
at the walk or trot, Or the run even, so
much the better. Such a horse is large
enough and not too large. He is Just
the size for the pillow or the wagon, for
the saddle or the buggy or carriage. He
is ready and suitable for any job of work
on the farm or off of it. If he is for sale
his owner will find plenty of buyers. If
he has the size and qualities spoken of,
and is in addition trotting bred, so much
the better, for he will command so much
the greater price,

Why Animals Need Salt.

Professor Jas. E. Johnson, of Scot
land, says: Upwards of half the saline
matter Of blood (f%fty-seven per cent.
consists of common salt, and this is
partly discharged every day through the
skin and kidneys. The necessity for
continued supplies of it to the healthy
body becomes sufficiently obvious. The
bile also contains soda zone of the ingre-
dents of salt as a special and consti-
tuent, and SO do all the ~cartilages of the
body. Stint the supply, therefore, and
neither will the bile be able properly to
assist digestion, nor the cartilage to
build up again as fast as it naturally
wastes. 1t is better to place salt where
stock can have free access to it, than to
give it occasionally in large quantities.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1884-02-20

Regularity in feeding il more ilnpor-
horses as well as with milk-producing
cows. Wholesome food and sufficient
quantity at stated times is essential to
healthful growth and efficient service.
The amount of rations is governed by
the age of the animal and whether at
work or idle. No rule of pounds and
ounces of hay and grain can be laid
down for any horse, and the one in
charge needs good judgment to keep the
horses strong and in a healthy condi-
ton. A knowledge of the requirements
of a locomotive would help many horse
owners to a better understanding of the
laws of feeding. The amount of coal,
water, etc, depends upon the easy
movement of every part of the engine,
and upon the work being done. The
horse is the engine, and more than that,
because it is a living creature it has ad-
ditional wants. Plenty Of food and
water are only u part of the needs Of a
horse. There should be a comfortable
stable and ali those little attentions that
add SO much to the health Of the animal.
Good grooming is essential to good di-
gestion. Cleanliness of the skin is as
necessary for the health of a horse as for
that of q man. The irritation of the
brushing stimulates the healthful func-
lions of the skin but the brushing may
be too severe. There is a strong objec-
ton to the use of harsh currycomb. If
a good stiff brush is Used daily, there
will be no use for q wire-toothed comb
or other harsh implement. The rubbing
of the running gear'' of a horse is as
essential as that OF an engine.

Profit in Cattle.

The Mcpherson Kan Freeman says
that Erasmus Wilson, a former resident
there, and a brother of VIM. Wilson,
who lives northeast of town, has just
closed out his cattle ranch in the Indian
territory for $3.50, 900. Mr.. Wilson went
to the territory some six or seven years
ago with $1,000 which he invested in a
cattle ranch with the above result. He
now goes to California to try to benefit
his health.

The Voice in Training.

A fact that should be borne in mind
by those engaged in horse training is
that the horse has a very acute faculty
for understanding and interpreting the
tones of the voice. If you talk conf

if your voice shows fear, he notices it

horse, and be sure that he understands
