Feeding Corn to Horses.

Corn Is the banc OF the farm
horse, as it is also of the horse do
ing any other sort of work, not be-
cause of not being sufficiently nu-
tritious, but because it makes too
much fat and not enough muscle.
The horses muscle wears away by
friction. Fat also wears away I'M
der exercises, but its disappearance
in no wise lessons the power for
either draft or speed. On the
other hand, wcll-nourishcd and
vigorously exercised muscles, with
out a deposit of fat to keep them
company, T. much more efficient
for any purpose for which the horse
is kept than when there il Il load
OF fat to be carried. The trainer
acts upon the proposition, and
works the fat off, experience hav-
ing shown that the muscles, trained
down by exercise until fat nccu-
mutations arc Notwithstanding
foods being mainly abstaincd from

horse, though modified by the de-
gree to which the movements of
the latter are slower than the for
mcr. If the farmer has only corn
for feed, then he will be wise TO
make sale of his corn, or the greater
part of it, buying oatmeal instead.
If corn be used in whole or i'm part,
the effect should be carefully noted
as to the extent to which fcrmcn-
tation sets in, meeting this by use
of salt and ashes, at once l%cSscning
the amount Of corr fed. 1t will be
found that horses feed freely on
corn will cat earth when allowed
access to it, as, to Il degree, this
n~cutralizcs the acid generated in
the stomach, and gives relief.
Corn may be rated AZ the general
food for %flttening stOck-such as

Farm Notes.

Much barnyard n in this
country is wasted.
Sow some white clover seed and
ashes on the bare spots in the pas
ture. 1t will pay.
The best means of obtaining a
profit from any class of stock, is
to keep the best and keep it we'll.
Try plaster on all kinds of soil
you have, and learn where it does
best and fit will pay anywhere.
There is a way to enrich II
lands; that Is by blowing often and
raising clover, and all of us can
keep more stock and make more
manure If we will only try. We
a increase our forage crops each
year by II little calculation before
hand.
Peas are cheaper food for pigs
than corn. They fattcn them very
rapidly, although they do not make
as solid pork as corn. They have
this advantage over corn: They
mature early and can be fed as
soon as large enough for green peas,
the pigs consuming vines and all. .
Lovers Of flowers should know
that one blossom allowed to ma
ture or ego to seed," Injuries the
plant more than a dozen new buds.
Cut your flowers, all OF them, be-
fore they fade. Adorn your room
with them, put them on your tables,
send bouquets to your friends who
have them, or exchange fnvors
with those who have. All roses,
after they have ceased blooming,
should be cut back, that the strength,
OF the root may go to forming new
roots Tor next year, and on these
bushes not a seed should lie al.
lowed to mature.

Politics in the Hill Country. Among
the Lakes. Our Candidates Leave
the Florida Southern Rail


MCMEEKIN, Florida,
April %, 1885.
At McMeekin Station orr candidates
were met by our former representatives
in senate and assembly, the Hon. F. NJ.
McMeekin and Hon. A. Munroe. From
the hill upon which the station stands,
we surveyed a broad expanse dotted
with beautiful lakes, deep and clear
with orange groves green as emerald and
bearing every evidence of high health
and v;gor-cultivated fields and happy
homes with a background of tall pines
whose plumes tossed in the evening
breeze. One among us, who had never
been in this section before, declared the
prospect before us unequalled i'll Flor
ida.
From the station DIR. McMeekin took
us to his home when we were taken
through a grove of immense trees bear
ing one thousand oranges each, and all
planted since 1876. This grove of 1900
bearing trees is especially remarkable
for the superior quality of the fruit, and
it hangs so well that the doctor often
sends the last Florida oranges to market.
Last year he shipped to Boston till the
middle of May. and to-day he can show
a large per cent. Of the crop still on the
trees. There hang the golden globes
amidst the tiny fruit for 1885 and the
blossoms not yet dropped. He will get
high price for what is shipped and in
grove and packing house the fruit is still
being picked and boxed. The Tanger
| ines in this grove are numerous and
doubtless the largest in the state. After
full enjoyment of the good things pro-
vided by the kind hospitality of the doc
| tors lady, we went to the new school
| house near the station, and were there
received by such staunch dem
ocrats and solid citizens as
Messrs. Munroe, Barker, Seyles, Stokes,
etc. Hon. A. Munroe was elected chair
man on the motion of DR.. Mc1Ieekin,
and in response to fattering introduce
ton, our candidate from the 18th Sena-
torial district, Hon. VIM. Fl. Cook, re-
sponded in close and logical argument,
which enchanted the attention Of the
audience. He dwelt particularly upon
the fact that we had outgrown many
requirements of our present constitution
and gave some most i'm portant thoughts
as the new articles needed Mr.. Cook
urged a non partisan view of the pres
ent situation, and pledged himself and
his colleagues to use their best efforts
towards the presentation of an instru-
ment in the interest of no party, race OF
section.
Mr.. Harrison then spoke for some
half hour, and his structures on the
consistency and character of his oppon
ents seemed highly enjoyed by his au
dience.
Mr.. ellis then gave us close argu
ment from legal standpoint, and wa:
heard attentively for half hour.
Many questions were then PROFOUND
ed by Messrs. McMeekin and Seyles
and the interest manifested was very
marked. DR.. McMeekin and the char
man urged the necessity of prompt at
tendance at the polls, and the meeting
was adjourned in high good feeling

curious and wonderful cases that are quite in

to the ears of the Atlanta Journal that she

been pronounced dead met him at the door,
stoutly denying that she was dead. She said:
