The Euect OF Conuttton HOWuers'
"F.L.S." Of jacksonville, VT. in a commu.
nication to the Germantown Telegraph, en-
quires as to the effect of condition powders
on the health Of horses r. +. Hanoe, NJ. d.
and V. s., editor Of the veterinary depart
ment of the Telegraph, replies that he does
not approve the use Of the 80 called 'cOndi-
ton powders" at any time, either in health or
disease. In health, he says, they are entirely
unnecessary, an occasional change Of food,
suitable work or exercise and prudent use be-
ing all that is needed.
These powders are generally composed of
varying proportions of fennel, fenugreek,
anise or other vegetable aromatics and stimu-
lants, oil cake, black anthony, etc. Even if
combined in reasonable proportions, their eff
feet at first is to stimulate the glands Of the
stomach to increased activity. When the Sc
erection of any gland is continually stimulated
by an artificial means it sooner or later be-
comes perverted and unnatural, and diseas-
ed condition is actually established. OF ton
les, one of our standard authors on Veterinary
Medicines (Finlay Dun) writes: "Given to
healthy animals, or in unsuitable cases. large
anu EtDbhNtu uuhth hu ubb AAllAbNb hbolAhi
but, on the contrary, sometimes disorder di-
gestion and occasionally cause febrie symp-
TOMS"
Another reason why these powders should
not be used is, that they are almost always
composed of substances known only to the
compounder, who is often ignorant of their
effects and sometimes totally irresponsible.
A very common ingredient of these powders
is black sulphide of anthony, ian uncertain,
irregular, often violent, substance never us
ed by intelligent practitioners in human med
icine, and which SHOULD be discarded from
veterinary practice" (Dun)
The proper treatment, if any is needed, for
horses in the spring is cooling, slightly laxa-
tive food, sufficient, but not overabundant, in
quantity, and of good quality, and what is
hardly less important plenty of pure water
fresh air and sunlight

ECONOMICAL RATION FOR A ow.-Experi-

satisfied the officers that the best results, TAX
ing all things into account, have been obtain
ed when mich COWS are given ration of 20
pounds of hay, three pounds each of bran,
cotton-seed and Indian meal per day. With
hay figured at $40 per ton, butter can be made
at cost of 10 cents per pound. The butter
could be made a little cheaper upon other
grains, or rather the same grains in other pro-
portions, but it would be at the expense of
the condition of the animal.

1t appears that in some of the states the

good laws for the protection of game, but
they are seldom enforced. We have no per-

The Coming Car-COupler.

The Penz automatic freight carcoupler, new
invention, is attracting the attention Of railroad
men. The great merit in the coupler is that it
does away entirely with the danger attending
the coupling of freight cars as now managed
Instead Of bumper on either end of the cars,
with a link in one bumper and hole for the end
of the link in the other, together with slot for
the pin to be dropped into, an arrangement en-
tirely different has been perfected by AR Penz
Each end of the car is equipped with sort of
hook, and, as two cars come together, the brake
form, instead of between the cars. raises the
link and makes the coupling complete, although
the work is practically done by the conclusion.
Should the link be broken, an extra link is pro
yided, and the cars can be recoupled with but an
instant's delay Links are furnished by which
the cars can be attached to an ordinary
coupling arrangement at q moments notice All
danger is done away with, and great speed ia at
tanned. The multiplicity of patented automatic
freightcar couplers has rendered the selection of
superior device very difficult, but the action of
the Massachusetts Legislature of tho Railroad
Commission of that State, and of various
sociations devoted to tho advancement of rail-
way mechanism indicates that the general
adoption of u method for diminishing the dangers
inseparable from the present methods of coup
ling freight cars cannot be much longer post
poned. There is more prolific cause of pain
fui and fatal accidents to large class of en-
ployes than that which would be entirely re-
moved ny the general adoption Of a satisfactory
automatic freight-car-coupler. and the action
taken in Massachusetts, is probably typical of
movement that will soon extend over the entire
country.

New Mexico and Arizona.

70 the Editor of tho Indianapolis journal:
1t is quite impossible to give any adequate idea
of the marvellous progress that Kansas has made
within the last ten years. The villages of 1874
are now cities, and innumerable villages AID
farms have been opened out in every direction.
The Kansas '''dug-out' is nearly thing Of the
past Ten years ago the plow had hardly
reached Great Bend-a point $50 miles from the
east line of the State; now it is at the Colorado
line. At'Cooiidge, Che last western station in
Kansas, is an elegant railroad hotel and facil
tiles for handling 10000 cattle per day. Kan
sas is the greatest Of our trans Mississippi
States. She is now following out policy that,
in time, will make her the grandest Common
wealth in the Union-exterminating the saloons,
and upon their wrecks planting school houses.
There is only one city ia the State where whisky
is openly sold. No matter how small the viii
lage, the tall school-house is the most noticeable
object And friends assured me that next year
the Republican majority in Kansas will reach
$4,000.
We left Kansas Just at dark and the next
morning woke up in New Mexico. On one side
the sun was crimsoniug the glistening white
mantcs Of the Rocky mountains and on the
other Glinting over the vast stock ranges. In
Kansas the railroad is lined with tho carcasses
OF cattle that persisted last winter and spring,
but nothing of tho kind was to be seen here.
About 200 miles from New Mex;co's north
boundary that strange type OF another civiliza-
ton, the adobe house, makes its appearance.
And withit the swarthy Greaser, and soon the
Pueblo Indian. By the time we reached the
dreamy air that hangs around the mountains at
whose bese1s quaint old Santa Fe, tho American
had given place to the Mexican. A few miles
and the hoe tako its place. For over hundred
miles we followed the Rio Grande valley and IT'S
farms and pueblos as tho villages here are
called. A Mexican village is the most nnlovely
of all sights. Not green shrub tree Is
visible. In fact tits very difficult TO distinguish
the houses, as they are never over one story
high, ard always made of mud. The two largest
towns in New Mexico are Las Vegas and
Albuquerque, both railroad cities, full of
American Traders, with street cars, gas-lights,
Nationa! banks and, most likely, city debts.
West Of Albuquerque | think is some Of the
granuest scenery human eye ever rested upon.
The solemn lava beds, the gigantic rlcsas, as
they are called, and the complete desoation aud
absence of all habitations, except the railway
stations and the Indian villages, make u success
sion OF pictures the like of which can DO found
nowhere on earth. In western New Mexico the
Indians have 1t all their own way. j was greatly
struck with one fact, aud that was the faithful
pess with which tho Catholic Church had done
