POULTRY AND FARM.
When and How to Feed Horses.

A horse ought to be fed when
he is hungry, and he ought to be
hungry every day. What makes
him hungry The constant waste
of the system. The muscles when
brought into use waste somewhat,
especially exercise or labor is a
draft upon the muscular system,
in fact upon the whole system.
After the system has been taxed,
and if the tax is sufficient to par
tally exhaust or fatigue the ami
NAL rest is more important than
feed: hence the horse should stand
and rest awhile before he is fed.
Digestion demands flow of blood
to the organs then at work, and as
the blood has been drawn away
from them to sustain the muscular
exertion during labor, it should
not be suddenly withdrawn and
turned in upon the organs of di-
gestion-hence let him rest, and
after an hour or so, he will be
found keen and sharp set" There
is propably no food so good for
recuperating exhausted muscles
than good, sound heavy oats.
They are easily digested,
nutritious, muscle building
and blood-making in a high degree,
They are little heating, do not tend
to making hores sweat, and ON the
whole are the best food horse
can have. Barley is very good
not equal to oats. Indian corn i:
a poor substitute, not so easily di
gested, heating, and causing the
animal to sweat As to system, ;
horse should have hay first, thel
grain, and water when these ar,
digested, or water should be givel
half an hour at least before feed
ing. Horses often have dyspepsi,
induced by being fed when warm
or being worked after a full meal
The practice of feeding hard-work
ed horses at noon and working
them Immediately after, is o
doubtful utility. Horses will G

and morning. They should hav
water more frequently, but neve

He Knew the Story.

A business man on the third
floor of a building On Griswold
street bought ton of coal the
other day, and when a boy came up
to ask him for the job of elevating
the chestnut he asked the youth to
take a chair, and then said:
i. "My boy, you should start right
n entering upon the path of life"
eyes, sir that's what NAV
says

eyes, SRI don't doubt it; you
wore ragged clothes and didn't
have half enough to eat"
"Ahem-y-e-s. | felt that [
would have to make my own flu
ture, and [ decided to start out
right. In the town where l lived
there was fve-story building"
Eyes, sir, and there was offices
way up on the top floor, and no
elevator.
"Just so, my boy"
"And man who had an Office
on the top floor bought a ton of
coal, and you asked him for the
JOB of packing it up"
Exactly
at was worth fifty cents, but he
offered you quarter, and rather
than lose the job you accepted it.
The man took a notion to you,
secured you a place in an office,
and you are to-day rich, respected,
and likely to be sent to Washing
ton as United States Senator.

"You do! Why, where did YOU

Twenty times over right on this

carrying up two tons, and you fel.

"Why, my son, /"
as all right, mister; but my

that all you chaps who have bin pool

The occupant of the Office said
he would reserve the job for some

Gieanings.

Poultry breeders should keep
their stock supplied with fresh
water, that is warm in winter and
cool in summer. The poultry fam
cier, when he leaves home for
business, ought to feel secure, es-
pecially in cold weather, that he
has not left his fowls in peril of
thirst, and this security he can OBJ
tain by using a well-made drop
faucet For the cold weather it is
a good plan to put the water in the
reservoir (any tub, old key or fir
kin will answer for this) every
morning hot, and keep old carpets
or cloths wrapped about the cask.
To remove the unpleasant taste
which is frequently observable
from new wooden vessels is thing
difficult of accomplishment. The
Brewing World says that the sim
plest plan, and one that will sue
coed in most cases, is to scald
them thoroughly several times in
boiling water, then dissolve some
pearl ash or soda in lukewarm wa
ter, adding little lime to it, and
wash the inside of the vessel well
in the solution. Afterward scald
them several times thoroughly as
before. This method may be APP
piled to the cleansinefof new butter
packages.
A correspondent of the Rural
World says that when rust gets
into a plantation the only remedy
is to dig up and burn the plants as
soon as the disease shows itself.
The spores of this minute
fungus are blown by the winds
and spread, and neither road dust
, lime, salt nor sulphur has the least
effect.
Geese can be fattened cheaply, as
they will eagerly consume chop
ped turnlps or any other kind o
cheap material at this season, bu
to get them very fat they SHOULD
have corn also. A goose shoul,
not be too fat, as such are objec
tionable, but they should be ia
enough to present an excellen
market appearance. The youn
. geese that have not fully complet
ed their growth, however, canno
be fed too literally, as they wi
not become extremely fat unit
matured.

Food for Poultry.

1t is now conceded by all in
telligent poultrymen that the food
which we give our poultry for
either egg or flesh production
should be of the best and purest
quality. 1t is all very well for
some to air their views and talk
about this and that being the best,
but there is, and must be, some
infallible STANDARD to be guided
by, or else our knowledge of the
scientific principles of food is very
limited.
Every kind of food is designed
for some special purposes, and the
purposes served by food when
taken into the body are of several
kinds. If we apply these princi-
pies to the examination of the
various substances designed for
some particular object, we shall
arrive at far more satisfactory
knowledge of the purposes required
than by theoretical ideas about
this or that variety being more
valuable, without subjecting it to
an analytical test.
The purposes served by food are
several. First the nourishment
of the vitalized elements of the
embryo chick, which in time be.
come component parts of the egg
itself; then the production Of
animal warmth, which sustains al
even heat natural to all animals IL
good health; then the provision
for the maintenance of growth be
fore the adult stage is reached
and the supply of mineral materia
for the bones and saline substance
for the blood; and, lastly, the re
pair of waste-and we may add
perhaps, the secretion of fat t,
form, as it were, a magazine t.
draw on In emergencies.
These are the natural conditions
and to supply and sustain thes
conditions we must feed to on
poultry the kinds of food bes
adapted for the purposes required
To supply natural warmth W
should err if we fed the kind
which supply mineral matter 0
heterogeneous elements, but shout,
supply the kinds which contai1
