Cyclones and Tornadoes.

A scientific writer who has studied
cyclones says "they always originate in
equatorial regions, but never occur with
in eight or ten degrees of that line"
Another thing that is peculiar, he says,
is the whirl is from right to left in the
northern and from left to right in the
southern hemisphere, and that "mas-
tiers Of sailing vessels caught in one OF
these cyclones, by knowing it's laws OF
direction, can easily sail out Of its
course" The same writer, speaking OF
tornadoes, remarks they follow much
the same laws. 1'Those occurring in
the central part of the United States
originate in the Rocky Mountains or
the Pacific Ocean and travel eastward.
Those in the Atlantic coast usually start
in the Gulf of Mexico or Caribbean Sea
and follow the path of regular cyclones.
GA storm which starts in the Rocky
Mountains sometimes can be tr.ced
half way around the earth. Those OF
the Pacific usually pass southeastward
along the Mexican coast. The study
of cyclones and tornadoes is one little
understood and yet of Astounding in.

Horses Food And Drink.

The fact that horse can, when heat.
ed, drink cold water freely without in.
jury, if he be driven afterwards, is
evidence that his internal arrangements
are different from those in the human
body. The London Field mentions some
points in the care of horse which, as the
Field is an authority in such matters:
it IS we'll to know:
Bearing in mind that the stomach Of
horse is small in proportion tol the
size of his frame, he requires. feed
ing often, and though three times 6
day is sufficient, four times is better.
Unlike human beings, horses should
drink before they eat, because. owing
to the conformation of the horse, water
does not remain in the stomach, but
passes through it into large intestine
called the cacum. If horse be fec
first, the water passing through the
stomach would be likely to carry with
it particles of food, and thus bring
about collie.
Whatever groom may say, let 8
horse drink just as much as he likes
If he be watered four times a day, he
will never take very much, or toe
much to be good for him., A horse, il
must be remembered, is fed on dry
food, and this. with the strong work
done by hunter, always produces
feverishness, which a sufficiency Of
water tends to allay.

Feeding Of Horses

Bells Messenger, England, says that
the capacity of the horses stomach is,
about sixteen quarts. This fact should
be borne in mind by those who have.
charge of horses. In feeding grain to,
horses it is important that it should be-
fed at such time that it may remain in
the stomach as long as need be to- SCI
cure it complete digestion. The nitro
genous elements, in which grain is rich
er than other foods, are better digested
in the stomach than in the intestines.
The grain should be fed after the hay
has been eaten, and no other food or
drink should be given for some time af-
ter, so that the grain may remain In the
stomach until it is fully digested. If
the grain is fed first, and then ration
as, for instance, of seven pounds of hay,
the grain will be speedily forced
from the stomach by the hay.
In eating the hay, ii will be
mixed with four times its weight of
saliva, and an hour and half will be
required for masticating it. In order
to have the stomach digest well. itshould
not contain more than ten quarts at a
time, and in eating seven pounds of hay
the animal swallows at least two stom-
achfuls of hay and saliva, one of these
having passed on into the intestines
If the grain had been fed first, before
the hay, the grain would have speedily
passed out Of the stomach into the
intestines, where it would digest less
cornnletelv than n allowed to remain II

From the English Illustrated Magazine
The Schipka. Pass had been in Rus

no plan of it had yet been made. The
emperor said at once, "Ignatieft, go and
fetch paper and pencil" Ignatieff went,
and there remained the emperor and
myself alone together, standing oppo-
site to each ether, with a little green
baize table between us. The thought
that drifted across my mind as we stood
there looking into each others faces was
that, emperor of Russia as he was, no
consideration that the world could offer
would tempt me to change places with a
man so oppressed by ills.
AS we so stood, he listening to, me

Avoid Debts.

If it were not for the present indeb5-
edness of farmers, these times of low
produce are very good. Wheat and
corn, in exchange for goods and gro
ceries, have greater purchasing power
than they have heretofore had in TWEEN
ty years. While wheat and corn are
low, hardware, cotton and wooden goods,
and groceries are much lower. But
farm produce commands very diminu-
tive sum towards paying debts. And
this is a strong argument against con-
tracing debts. Men seldom run crazy
in hard times, and buy everything they
see, at enormous prices, to be paid for
when money is plenty and produce high
But they go wild in flush times, and
contract immense debts which have to
be paid for probably when everything
is down at the lowest notch. Avoid
debts. -Des Moines Register.

Oats and Peas.
rom the American Agriculturist.

From the American Agriculturist
We have for many years grown oats
and peas together On good, rich land,
sown early, you can get great mass of
fodder and grain. The great drawback
in the older States is the pea-weevil.
The peas are affected with the "bug, f"
and we do not sell them, but feed them
out on the farm to pigs and sheep, prin-
cipally to the former. The pigs do not
Object to the bugs. What the bugs;
think of it is not reported. The fan
ming mill will separate nearly all the.
oats from the peas. No matter if a few
of the split peas will remain with the
oats.
If cut before the oats. get too ripe and
the crop is carefully cured, the fodder
is nearly as good as hay. AS to the
variety of peas, sow any that you can
buy cheap enough. The seedmen
charge 700 much for it, or the white or
black eyed marrow-fat would be good.
The common Canada creeper or any
other small, round pea answers a good
purpose, and bushel goes father than
the larger varieties. We mean that it
is not necessary to SOW them 50 thick
Two bushels of these small peas and a
bushel Of oats is enough seed per acre..
The marrow fats; hould be sown at the
rate OF not less than three bushels per
acre and bushel to bushel and half
Of oats, thoroughly mixed together.
Early sowing is, very desirable, and
as sod can be plowed earlier in the
spring than stubble land, we prefer to
SOW on sod, putting in the seed as fast
as the land is plowed.. The crop can
be drilled in or sowed broadcast. If a
drill is used, keep the grain we'll mixed
or the peas will be apt to sink to the
bottom. If sown broadcast and the
land is we'll plowed in narrow burrows,
SOW on the burrows before narrowing.
Then harrow and roll and the peas will
be well covered. You can rely on that.

A Wild Garden.

From the Detroit Free Press
Gardening includes many branches.
Some of them are flower, fruit, win dow,
aquatic, bog and the wild garden. It
is of the latter we wish to speak at this
time. By a wild garden we do not mean
a border where nothing but wild plants
from the woods and fields are grown, as
some have understood. The wild gar.
den, so called, is produced by making a
mixture of great many Of the more
hardy seeds and sowing them from the
middle of April to the second week in
May. A five cent paper will SOW
a large bed, or an ounce, which
will cost twenty five cents, will be am
pie enough for a square rod of ground.
In these seeds which have mixed for
the purpose, are hardy ANIMALS, fra
grant Mignonettes, peas, phlox and
morning glory, curious gourds, some of
them resembling hens eggs, dippers,
clubs, etc., and also the seeds of some
perennials, the roots of which live on
from year to year.
All that is necessary is piece of
ground well dug, and brought into
fine filth by raking. The seeds should
not be sown too thick. Keep the
weeds down, and our word for it, you
will be well pleased with your wild
garden.

Hot Water for Inflammation.

DR.. George B. Sheperd, of Hartford,
adds his testimony to that of many 9TH
ers by saying in the Medical Record: II
have used hot water as gargle for the
past six OF eight years, having been led
to do so from seeing it's beneficial effect
in gyneco1ogy. In acute pharyn gifts.
and tonsilitis, if properly used at the
commencement OF the attack, it consti-
tutes one of our most effective remedies,
being frequently promptly cruative. If
used later in the disease or in chronic
cases, it is always beneficial, though per-
haps not so Immediately curative.
To be of service it should be
used in considerable quantity
(half pint or pint at time, and just
as hot as the throat will tolerate. 1
have seen many cases of acute disease
aborted, and can commend the method
with great confidence. I believe It may
be taken as an established fact that in
the treatment of infammations general
ly and those of the mucous membrane in
particular, me list heat is of service, and
in most cases hot water is preferable to
steam. All are familiar with its use in
opthalmia and conjunctivitis, as also in
inflammation of the external and middle
ear, and feel confident that those who
employ it for that most annoying of all
slight troubles to prescribe for, viz, a
cold in the head or acute coryza, will
seldom think Of using the irritating
drugs mentioned in the books, nor of in
ducing complete an@sthesia with
chloroform in preference to the hot
water douche."
