Why the Farmer Should be Able to Be

The farmer can be the very best liver

HORSE STABLES.
Condition and Health of a Horse Depend
emit Upon the Condition of Its Stable.

Condition and Health of Horse Depend
emit Upon the Condition of Its Stable.
The condition and health of a horse
depends very much upon the kind Of
stable it is kept in. There are horses
which suffer from disease of the eyes,
from coughs, from scratches and other
skin diseases, all of which are produced
by the pungent foul ait in the stables.
Farmers, and others who have horses
will take pains to keep their carriages
and harness protected from the strong
ammoniacal air of the stables lest the
leather, may be rotted or the varnish
dulled and spotted; and at the same
time they will wonder why their horses
cough, or have weak eyes or moon
blindness, or suffer from other diseases,
which, if they would only think for
few minutes, they would readily per.
ceive, are due toIthe foul air the animals
are compelled to breathe every night in
the year while confined in close, badly
ventilated stables. The remedy is very
easy. The stable should be kept clean;
this will prevent the greater part of the
mischief; and it should be well venti-
lated. The floor should be properly
drained, SO that the liquid will not, re-
main on it, to be absorbed, and decom-
pose, and produce the pungent vapors
of ammonia, which are so injurious to
the eyes, nostrils, throat and lungs, and
this liquid waste should>be carried away
to some place where it can be absorbed
and utilized. The floor should be
washed off at least twice a week with
plenty of water and then literally
sprinkled with finely ground gypsum
(plaster) which will combine with the
ammonia, and fix it. A solution of cop
peras (sulphate of irony will have the
same result. Lastly, the floor should
be supplied with absorbent litter, which
should he removed when it is soiled.
Ventilation should be provided in such
a way as to avoid cold drafts. Small
openings, which may be easily closed
with a slide, may be made in the outer
wall near the floor, and similar ones
near the ceiling, or in the roof, through
which the foul air can escape. Pure air
is of the utmost Importance to the we'll
being of horses. AS an instance of it
may be mentioned the fact that in the
English cavalry stables complete sys-
tenn of ventilation reduced the average
loss of horses from the deadly disease,
CHAMBERS, from one hundred and thirty
two per thousand, yearly, to nine in the
thousand; and when similar improve
ment was made in the French army
stables, the percentage of death was re-
duced in similar ratio, with still
larger decrease of milder ailments

were forced to flee,
Each man locked his home behind him, taking
in his fight the key.

homes so far away.
But the mansions in Granada they had left In

Vanished, as the years rolled onward, meath

we vainly long to be,
And through all life's changing phases ever
fast we hold the key.

TEMPERANCE READING.
THE CURSE OF RUM.
Who Can Tell IT,

Who Can Tell Tt?
Could oceans, rivers, seas and lakes,
And all the names that water takes,
Beneath the expanded sky,
Be turned to ink of blacklist hue,
With every drop of morning dew;
With every shrub and every tree,
And every blade of grass we see
Made pens to write withal;
Were every man in every cline
A scribe to use those pens;
Were each Methuselah in age,
And every moment wrote a page
a book as large could we suppose
As this whole earthly ball
All would be tired and die,
The pens would every one wear out,
The book be writ within, without,
The ink be drained quite dry,
To write the curse of rum: o, then,
Angels would fail as well as men
Archangels cen would fail
And till eternity should end
A long eternity they d spend,
Nor then have told the tale.

The story about the wicked people
prosecuting innocence troubled Rose a
good deal after she had dispatched it to
the editor. And her conscience was
not soothed by the fact that she received
thirty dollars for it. After a long strug-
gle with herself, she inclined to the
view that God could scarcely be hard
on her when He considered for what
purpose she chad suspended her con-
science. A conscience was, after all. a
costly luxury which not everybody could
afford to entertain. Another blood
and-thunder tale, more narrowing than
the first, was composed amid tears and
prayers to God for forgiveness. Itseemed
desperately bad to Roses child-like
soul, though | doubt if it contained
wickedness enough to corrupt kitten.
She sat up night after night scribbling
away for dear life, needless of the pains
which shot like needle-points through
her eyeballs. The thought that she
was thus enabling her husband to per-
severe IN his struggle against his enc
mes, that she was helping him along
the road that would surely lead him TO
honor and glory, stimulated her fancy
to the boldest invention, and chased her
hand feverishly over the paper. This
time she received forty dollars and
much encouragement. But such d hor-
ror seized her, as she painfully deei-

and she could never forgive herself for
having once fallen asleep during his dis

tired! He had been mortally offended,

her for three days afterward, and she
had cried and upbraided herself until
he finally took pity upon her, and gave
her his views upon the complication in
