horses no grain until they are about to

causes arrangement Of the digestion.
Imperfect digestion means impaired

will do more on oats than on corn.
Corn will prepare horse for labor, but
oats make better ration during hard
work. Oil and starch in corn make IT
an undesirable summer food; it is heat

little bran or little meal makes good
work ration; if old hay is not plenty,
feed newly cured clover or timothy
Give an occasional feed Of roots,
apples and tho like; they afford a

Cuzco, the ancient capital Of the old

On q hill, or eminence. nearly a tkon-

If the statement were made that the
profits of farming are diminished one
fourth by weeds Z would probably be
disputed by many farmers, says the
Hstsb0aadman. Yet it may be shown
easily by indisputable evidence that
the proportion Of loss is much greater
on many farms. SO great that all pro-
fits are lost from no other cause than
interference by weeds In localities
where Canada thistles abound, there
are many fields that show large patches
completely occupied by this weed; and
this may be seen in wheat fields, where
all the work Of preparation has been
done and the harvest brings nothing
but thistles. It is true whole fields
are rarely given over to occupancy Of
weeds, but the instances where large
portions are entirely surrendered to
them are by means rare. Yet there
are other weeds more hurtful than
Canada thistles, and even more diff
cult to eradicate.

There is no truth in the popular
idea Of the off and on years Of bear
ing. a tree that is properly used and
managed will bear every year unless
in q generally disastrous season. It is
also a mistaken belief that cions cut
in two successive years, or in the bear
ing year. will make fruit every year.
The failure Of tree to bear in any
year is due to several causes One is
that the tree Is permitted to overbear
and exhaust itself one year and the
next year is unable to mature a crop
Of seed. It must be remembered that
the production of seed is the most ex-
haustive function Of 4 plant, ana that
when this is prevented from becoming

A Wonderful Invention and it,

Edward W. Fells of Salt Lake
after experimenting two years
claims to have succeeded few days
ago, in perfecting an invention
which its author ranks with the
electric light and telephone. The
invention consists in taking abso.
lutely permanent pictures upon
any subject whatever having q
smooth surface instantly by the ac-
ton of electricity upon a sensitive
coating, ard at an expense not ex-
ceeding one cent per picture. A
reporter who called on the inventor
was shown some photographs on
pieces of wood which were not only
perfect in outline ard finish. but
poe sessed q peculiar softness not at
tsinable by any other process.
THE importance of this discov-
cry" said Mr.. Fell, land its vari-
ous uses can hardly be estimated.
1t opens an entirely new and dis
tinctive field in the art of photogra-
ply. and Will work revolution in
various branches of business into
which it wi enter more Or less.
More of the present processes are
used; aad it is not intended to in
terfere with the portrait work of
the average photographer. The
engraver upon wood, copper or
steel, need no longer consume time
and patience in obtaining defect
i've counterpart of the object to be
engraved, but instead can at
tritiing expense obtain beautiful
photograph directly upon the wood
or metal upon which the engraving
is to be made. In the lithcgraph-
er art it will be invaluable. In.
stead of the slow, laborious and &C.
fective process now employed in
transferring by hand the article
will be photographed directly upon
the stone to be engraved and the
result will be fine, completed fin
ished class of work. heretofore ct

EDIrOR APPEAL: l notice in thi!
mornings issue of yonr paper al
article on tae proper keeping of the
Sabbath. This leads me to thint
that You would accept from me 6
communication on dancing. This
city is almost wholly given over te
dancing. and almost every family
attend some kind of ball or party
during the year. think this has a
very pernicious influence, and ]
would like to express my opinion
against it. l have compiled a
number of arguments against dane
| ing made by some of the leading d.
vines of the country. Here are
some:
It is nowhere commended in the
Bible.
Darcing is not done in the name
of the Lord. Paul says do all
things in the nsine of the Lord.
Dancing is reveling, and Paul
says they who do such things shall
not inhetit the Kingdom
1t is heathenistic. The less of
civilization a nation has, the more
Of daucing.
It units the mind for reflection.
It leads to the violation of the
laws Of health, among which is the
great loss of sleep and too much ex
ercise.
1t keeps people up all night who
are too delicate to sit mp with the
sick or dying for one hour.
Our Savior did not dance.
The apostles and early Christians
did not dance
No one dying sends for dancing
master to comfort him.
No good dancer wants it placed
on his tomb stone when dead that
he "was an expert dancer"
No one dances in memory of
departed friend
It creates or fosters love for
the fatal cup.
It tolerates a freedom between
the sexes, both immodest and often
perniciously.
It creates a jealousy between man
and wife, between lover and lover.
It requires no brains to be a dane
It weakens person morally.
It weskens his influence for good.
1t is useless art.
No Christian can attend balls and
keep unspotted from the world,
A LADY WHO DOES NOT DANCE.
The APPEAL is now ready to |
hear from the dancing element,
All communications upon the sub
iect will be published, We do not
link it will settle the question,
but we are willing to give all who
feel desirious of writing on the sub
