Horse Hygiene.

All horses must not be fed in the
same proportion, without regard to
their ages, their constitutions or their
Eork-the improperly of such a
practice is self evident. Yet it is con
stantly done, and is the basis of dis.
ease Of every kind.
Never use bad hay on account of It's
cheapness, because there is no proper
nourishment in it.
Damaged corn is exceedingly inju-
rlous, because 1t brings on infamma-
ton Of the bowels. and skin diseases.
Chaf Is better for old horses than
lay, because they can chew and digest
it better,
Hay or grass alone will not support
horse under hard work, because
there is not sufficient nutritive body
ia either.
When horse is worked hard his
food should be chiefly oats-if not
worked hard his food should be
chiefly hay, because oaos supply more
nourishment and flesh making mate
rial than any other food-hay not so
much.
Mix chaf with corn or beans, and
do not give the latter alone. The
chaf makes the horse chew his food
more, and digest it better.
For saddle or coach horse half a
peck of sound oats and eighteen
pounds of good hay are sufficient. If
the hay is not good, add a quarter of
peck more oats. A horse which
works harder may have rather more
of each; one that works less should
have less.
Rack feeding is wasteful. The bet
ter plan is to feed with chopped hay
from manger, because the food is
not then thrown about, and is more
easily chewed and digested.
Sprinkle the hay with water that
has salt dissolved in IT, because it is
pleasing to the animals taste, and is
more easily digested. A table spoon
full of salt in bucket of water.
Oats should be bruised for an old
horse, but not for a young one, be-
cause the former, through age and
defective teeth, cannot chew them
properly; the young horse can do SO,
and they are thus properly mixed
with saliva and turned into wholesome
nutriment.

Sweet or Sour Cream.

Sweet and sour cream butter both
have their advocates, but the amount
Of acid is not agreed upon by any two
and we know of no way to determine
the amount of acid. But sweet-cream
butter without thorough oxygenatlon
will prove a failure. We strongly
suspect, however, the chief advantage
in souring lies in the longer time that
is given for the cream to imbibe oxy-
gen from the air. Yet it is probably
true that souring. though it cuts out
the fine favoring oils and destroys the
butter flavor proper, imparts positive
flavor of its own, which many relish.
There are many who want fresh
churned butter, with butter-milk
flavor in it. Though there may be or
may not be any accounting for tastes,
if a aairyman has special set of Gus
toners who want a batter milk flavor
it will retain them and put money in
his pocket to give them what they
want. He should be careful however
to deliver it often, SO that none will

''Step Up to the Office of the board
with me-" was the polite invitation of
E. B. Mastick, one of the Lick trus-
tees, to Chronicle reporter, yester-
day, and I'll tell you something
about our work at Mount Hamilton.
Mr.. Mastick had just returned, with
the other mem bers Of the board from
an inspection of the seasons work on
the Lick observatory, and was well
prepared for an interview on this in
teresting subject. A large number of
recently made photographs of the
buildings and grounds on Mount
Hamilton were shown, while Mr.. Mas
tick gave the reporter the following
information:
"By the end of the month" he said,

who have been making the flint
glasses, has just started for
Paris to inspect the crown
disks. If he finds them all right,
the grinding and polishing of them
will be commenced, and as soon as
that is done they will be brought to
Mount Hamilton and placed in posi-
ton. 1t would be possible now to
complete the big dome and the great
refractor where it known exactly
what the focal distance of the leases
is to De- This can only be ascertained
by an actual trial of the glasses, and
until that trial is made the work ia
that part of the observatory must re-
main in its present state of incomple-
ton. The FeiIs have been working
over two years on the crown disk
glasses. and it is expected that they
will cost about $40, 900. Alvin Clark
has a contract for furnishing the flint
glass and crown disk for $51, 900.
The diameter of the great dome will
probably be from seventy to eighty
feet, and the refractor, Or telescope
tube, about sixty feet in length. This,
with our thirty-six-inch glass, will
give us the most powerful telescope

which it is certainly liable. But if he
is packing butter for the general mar
ket, or to keep, it will not do to leave
much butter-milk in it. A pretty sure
way of Getting out the butter milk
is to stop the churn before the
butter gathers, draw off the butter
muk, give the butter one good washing
IN clean water, and then pour in suf-
hclent brine to float the butter, letting
1t stand awhile-the longer the better
before drawing it off. The bruno

and then thoroughly wash in water

will dissolve and wash out the brine

far as acid and sweet cream prefer.

present state OF knowledge, it Is safer
to not go to either extreme, but to
churn the cream just before acidity

bly,. We shall, by-and-hy, find out
more about this acid question, for

ABOUT the first of October, 1888,
there was a truly great celebration on
the banks of the Rhine Ia Germany.
a clossal statue of GermanIe was I'M
yelled by the Emperor, and that
monarch was accompanied by the
heir apparent and the Chancellor.
The object of the memorial was to re
mind France of her humiliation
thirteen years before, and though
about million people attended the
festival, it was regardel. with some
misaprebension by the friends of
peace in the world at large. But 40
political consequences of moment
were recorded, and the holiday would
have been well forgotten, in America
at least, but for the discovery that the
three principal celebrants were liter
ally within an inch of their death that
beautiful day. The Anarchists had
undermined the roadway, and a
damp drain, through which fuse led
to stores of dynamite, alone saved the
princely equipage. The discovery of
the plot caaae no less than six months
after the commemorative ceremony,
and the eight Anarchist were put in
jail at Elberfeld, Or the Rhine. The
third of last November they were
transferred to Leipsic, plot having
been failed by which rescue was to
be attempted. A fortnight afterward
the time of trial was set, and it began
the sixteenth of December. It seemed
that Reinsdorf and Kuechler, printers,
formerly companions of Most and
Hodel, headed the cowardly enter
prise. They alone are charged with
high treason. In the trial, all bat
Reinsdorf endeavored tolay the blame
on their comrades. The chief penalty
in Germany is death by 1ecapitation,
and there is little doubt that Reins-
dorf, al least, who avows his guilt
will follow Hodel, to the executioner's
chair. 1t may be of interest to state
that Hodel was beheaded for shooting

Tragic Death of a King.
st. James's Gazette

The British African Steamship
Company's royal mail steamer Cam
Groom arrived In the Mersey on Satur-
day from the west coast of Africa
The CAMERON left Sierra Leone on
the 10th of November; previous to
which news had been brought down
to the settlement of the tragic death
of the king of Falaba, together with
the whole of the royal family and
some of his principal followers. It
appeared that the Mohammedans
under Alta Sanuda and Mahoadi
Darami made an attack upon the
F'alaba country. The invaders reached
the capital, and King Sewab, finding
that the force at his command was
unable to keep out the enemy, called
together all the royal family, as we'll
as his principal officers. The parties
net IN large house, where there was
stored quantity Of gunpowder.
Sewab explained to his followers that
he was unable to hold out against the
intruders, and that in a short time his
country would be in the hands of the
enemy. The king, in speech, said
F'alaba was an ancient country, up to
that time unconquered. 1t had been
ruling, but never had been ruled.
He said he would never submit to
Mohammedansm, although any Of
IA is hearers could do so if they chose.
All replied that they would rather die
than become MOhammedans. The
king then is reported to have thrown
a lighted torch on the gunpowder,
and instantly an explosion occurred,
and the place was afterward in flames.
All In the building were killed. The
Mohammedans afterward took the
town, and those who were not killed
by the Falaba people were carried
away into slavery. The Mohamme-
dams were reported to be coming down
the coast. 1t was said that Chief
Suluku, of Big Bouma, had surrender
ed to the Mohammedans, and had
had taken the new name of Ahmadu
Sofaula.
