the presence Of ladies, seen to think it
indelicate to call our domestic animals
by their correct name. In this connee-

properly applied to a male sheep. Ram

e We do not understand why Governor
Click, Of Kansas, should have quarant-
ined against Iowa cattle. There has
never been a case Of contagious pleuro-:'
pneumonia discovered in that State, and
her laws are quite as well adapted to her
protection as are those Of Illinois. and
they arc faithfully and efficiently exc
cuted. When we first saw Governor
Clicks proclamation, as transmitted by
telegraph, we supposed the mention Of
Iowa to have been an error. We are in-
formed, however, that it was correct, but
are utterly alta ;lotg to know why it
should be So Breeders Gazette.
The attitude Of the Northwest towards
Texas cattle interests has been severely
criticised by this and other papers. and
the action Of the representatives Of the:
cattle interests of the Northwestern
states and territories, in the St.. Louis
convention, will probably go to show
whether or not those criticism are just,
If they show disposition to aid us in
securing national trail we shall feel
that their quarantine may have beer, },
nfter all, against Texas fever instead Of
against Texas cattle, and we shalt

Most persons feed their horses oats by
measure, instead of weight, forgetting
there5is quite a difference in the weight
Of oats when different lots are measured.
Some lots Of oats are very heavy, and
some quite light. Horses that are fed
twelve quarts per day Of heavy oats will
fall off when changed to twelve quarts
Of light oats there being from FIVE to
ten cent. less Of nutritious matter in
them. 1t is always best to feed the best
toats and hay to horses, but judgment is
needed to regulate the quantity SO as not
to feed too much or too little. Many
owners of horses trust the feeding en-
tirely to their, farm hands. who have lit
| tie, judgment and no care for the results.
Owners Of horses should determine the
4 quantity required for their horses, and
i give strict instructions to have just the
3 required amount fed. In this way horses
can be kept in proper condition II Miles
