Care of Horses in the Summer.

Probably the principal reason why the
life of horse is. reduced to one-half the
natural period is the exacting work and the
weakening rigors of the summer season. No
doubt faults in feeding have their effect to
add weight to the former, but certainly the
most trouble arises from the impure air and
clogged-up skin, and the loss of rest from
the annoyance of flies in the ordinary farm
stable. just now there is general excite
ment in regard to that terrible disease,
CHAMBERS, among horses And it is somewhat
surprising at first thought that more of this
disease should be found in Kansas than in
any other State at the present time. But
one who knows what miserable novels are
made to serve as stables for farm horses in
Kansas, and how enervating and depress-
ing to the physical system the occasional
hot weather is and in how many cases the
water supply is exceedingly short and bad,
the wonder ceases, and on the other hand
surprise may we'll be felt that there is not
moro of this disease than there is even in
that State, where pure air, pure water, and
comfortable shelter are as easily provided
as elsewhere. This disease is essentially
one of blood poisoning by absorbed pestif-
erous matter, from the air chiefly. 1t used
to be exceedingly prevalent in military sta
bles, where horses were crowded as closely
as possible: Due as SANITARY science grauu-
any worked us way into tne cavalry sta-
DIGS anu an aounaant supply Oh pure an
was PROVIDED anu cleanliness was enforced
in every way, CHAMBERS disappeared, and
now II is one Oh the rarest diseases among
these horses. 30 1t would DC among farm
horses II the same reasonable Care were eX-
creased to practice cleanliness, to provide
roomy and well ventilated stables, and to
secure fresh pure water from wells for the
horses use.
The most fatal impurities In drinking
water are what are known as organic albu-
mlnolds, which produced ammonia. When
water polluted with this waste matter is
taken into the stomach the poison is alb
sorbed into the blood and produces various
diseases. The water taken into the system
is very small quantity as compared with
the air taken into the lungs. Some idea OF
the Importance to the well-being OF horse
OF pure air may be gained from the fact that
the absorptlve surface OF the lungs is

Senator Brown, on being questioned
about the action of the Chicago Convention,
said: 81 think it has done well, and opened
the way to Democratic victory and all the
good results to the country that will follow
such an event.
"Do you think Cleveland and Hendricks
can carry the country"
'Tdo,'' replied the Senator, emphatically;
cleveland is a fresh, strong, able, and
conservative man. He is honest, practical,
and has strength of character. He cannot
be swayed by factions, but is controlled by
high and honorable principles. He can
carry New York and the country, in my
Judgment, and, since Governor Hendricks
is joined with him, am convinced that we
have the best available ticket, and one that
will receive the enthusiastic endorsement
of large majority of the voters of the
country

A POLITICAL OPPONENTS GOOD WORD.
There are few good men in Buffalo who
will not be glad to take Grover Cleveland
by the hand and congratulate him on his
distinguished and well-won honor. 'sWell
won," we say, for, whatever others may
have done in his behalf, he has himself rem
dered honorable and eminent public service,
and has deserved all that a man may de-
serve of his party by doing with all his
might, and for the most part unselfishly
and with conscientious integrity, the work
to which he has been called.
The people Of Buffalo have known Mr..
Cleveland as one Of their worthiest
citizens, one of their manifest men
faithful to his clients, faithful to his
friends, faithful to every public trust
If he were not a candidate for Office his
w-townsmen, almost without excep-
ton, would not hesitate to say this of him.
But although he is a candidate, and can
didate whom we shall strive with all our
might honestly to defeat, truth and justice
remaining the same, why should the Er-
press hesitate to say it now ?-Bufalo Er-

owensboro Messenger, Dec. Q.


The damp warm weather of the
past few days has infused some life
into the tobacco market. The weed
came in with rush yesterday, and
thestreets were crowded all day with
wagons and country people. There
was considerable activity about
Harrison's warehouse, and forty
nine sales were made during the
day. A Messenger man had a talk
with several tobacco men yesterday
evening, and they all agreed there
had been no decline in prices, nor
was there prospect of any.
Neither one of them could account
for the ruling high prices. Said
one OF them: sit is the meanest
crop that has been raised in Davies
county for eight years, with the ex-
ception of the 'S2 crop. 1t is life
less, house-burned, and badly ham
died, and yet we are paying as
much for it as we did last year. !

that better was TO follow, but they
didn't intend to bring it in until
they got their price. You can bet
your bottom dollar the farmers are
