Feeding Corn to Horses.

Corn is the bane of the farm horse.
as it is also of the horse doing any
other sort of work, not because of not
being sufficiently nutritious, but be-
cause it makes too much fat and not
enough muscle. The horses hustle
wears away by friction. Fat also
wears away under exercise, but its dis
appearance in no wise lessons the pow
er for either draft or speed. On the
other hand, welinourished and yigor-
ously exercised muscles, with depos-
it of fat to keep them company, are
much more efficient for any purpose
for which the horse is kept than when
there is 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 accumula-
tons are remoyed-fattening foods be-
ing mainly abstained trom-give the
best results in case of speedy horse
The same rule will hold good with the
workhorse, though modified by the de-
gree to which the movements of the
latter are slower than those of the for
mer. 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 in part, the effect
should be carefully noted as to the ex-
tent of fermentation sets in, meeting
this by use of salt and ashes, at once
lessening the amount Of corn fed. 1t
will be found that horses fed freely on
corn will eat earth whom allowed &C
cess to it, as to degree, this neutral
ICES the acid generated in the stomach,
and gives relief. Corn may be rated
as the natural food for fattening stock
such as are fed for their flesh. All
kinds of fattening stock are made ripe
on corn, with the addition of an allow
ance of coarse feed for fodder. Ripe,
ness in the horse is very different
thing from ripeness in the fatted steer
for in the one case it means full vigor
OF muscle with an absence of fat, and
in the other an abundance of fat, nc
matter how much; and as to the mus
Gle, no matter how inefficient the

One Of the largest if not the large:

One of the largest if not the largest
barns ever erected in TIE States is now
in course of construction at Loveland,
Ohio. DR.. Napoleon B. Wolfe, who
owns large stock farm in the imme-
diate vicinity of Loveland, proposes to
house his stock in magnificent winter
quarters. According to the plans the
building will be 100000 feet, or 49,.
600 superficial feet on the ground
floor. The lower story will be thir-
teen feet in height, and built of all
stone masonry. The second story,
twelve feet high, is to be built Of tim
Der with an OVERLAPPING of twelve feet
for shelter purpose. The apex of the
roof will be about one hundred feet
from the ground. The whole will be
lighted at night with an arc light of
RS candle power. The building is
intended to accommodate one hundred
head of choice cattle, twenty-five fine
horses and one thousand sheep. The
cost of the building will be in the
neighborhood of $4,000.

Give fools their gold y knaves their power
Let fortunes bubbles rise and fail;
Who sows a field or trains flower.
Or plants a tree. Is more than all.
Common Sense Farming.

The Rural Messenger says the pa
pers are INDUCING in discussion OF
the system of farming now in vogue,
and there has been much adverse crit
icism. 1t seems that, in laying the
whole blame of non success upon eX
cessive cotton, peanut and tobacco
planting, they stop far short of tbe
true reason.
These are the best, most money pro-
ducing crops for our section and eli
mate. These are certain crops, and
when ready for market are equivalent
to cash. They are easily marketed
and easily handled are better adapted
to the present system of labor. To
charge all the failure to exceptional
weather and seasons, and the conse-
quent financial disaster, to the cult
walton of these crops is, to say the
least, installing effect for cause.
Hog and hominy is very good
catch cry, but it does not reach the
root of the matter. The lack of bust
ness system with the majority of far
mers is the true reason why they do
not get rich. We venture the asser-
ton there cannot be found a farmer
with half the business system of a sue
cessful merchant who is not getting
rich at farming. We have in our
minds eye men in the country who
have balance to go to the progressive
side OF their account at the end Of ev-
cry year. 1t is not because they raise
their own hog and hominy, but be-
cause they personally superintend sv-
cry department of their farms, they
get the wages value out of their labor
ers, they keep an account Of all money
expended, they have a place for all
their farming implements and keep
them in that place while not in use
and not left exposed to weather. A
bove all they use judicious economy,
which every successful business man
does in his affairs.
They do not come to town at every
opportunity and carry home with them
more corn in another shape than hon.
my than their brains can stand. They
do not allow a commission merchant
to keep their accounts, they do not
have an irresponsible overseer to do
work which they ought to do, they
do not break up cart or so and kill
a mule or so during each year and
then curse these crops because the
price is not high enough to pay for all
sorts Of extravaganza. The conclu-
sion of the whole matter, to an impair
tial observer, is that hog and hominy
is a good thing, but business system
and economy are better.

Further Search For The Victims Sus-
 pended For a Time.
 BROOKLYN, May S.-Ths coroner to-day impanelled jury of twelve business men who proceeded to the morgue and viewed the remains and remnants thereof of the sup posed fourteen victims dug out of the ruins of the building destroyed in the Atlantic street fire. The coroner made short ad dress to the jury and the inquest was ad- journed until Wednesday next. The coroner after several examinations of the supposed remains of the fourteen victims inclined to the opinion that the substance in one coffin was not that of human being, but simply 8 mass of burned and melted rubber. He sent for an expert surgeon, who after a thorough examination gave it as hiss.opinion that there were only twelve bodies with scattered remnants of others, while two con glomerated masses were melted rubber and rubbish. A force of workmen was em- ployed in digging up the ruins in search of other victims up to noon to-day, at which hour further operations were suspended un- til the standing walls, some of which are in a very dangerous condition, can be pulled down. Several bodies are thought to be still in the ruins, among them those of Will liam Clarke and Kate McCuen, both of whom have not been seen or heard from since the disaster. No other bodies were recovered up to the hour the work of excavation was stonned

oomMITTEE ON STREETS.

Improvements in Various Parts of The
 City Considered - Accommodation
 of The Committee.
 The Committee on Streets held a meeting last evening, Alderman Bradley presiding.
 The first matter considered was the paving of Whitney avenue with Telford pavement the full width from curb to curb. Thomas G. Bennett opposed the proposed improve ment, as did also Stephen Whitney. The committee voted to recommend that the street be paved on the east side from the horse car track to the curb.
 The petition for curb and brick walk on both sides of Winthrop avenue between Davenport and Sylvan avenues was next con- sidered. Three or four parties appeared in favor of the petition. James D. Dewell, rep resenting the Evergreen Cemetery associa, tion, appeared in opposition to the proposed improvement, especially on that side of the avenue on which the cemetery is located He said that if the order was passed the as sociation would go to the courts with it be fore they would submit to the tax tha

 MoRGANF1ELD, Ky, May 9.--At an early hour yesterday evening crowds began to gather from Webster, Union and Tender son counties to witness the hanging of Moses Caton, the wife murderer, and those who could find no lodgings camped out on vacant lots or wherever resting place could be found. Up to the time of the execution to- day crowds of people were coming from every direction, many of them by boats, in c1uding large number of excursionists from down the river Others came in by rail and in every conceivable conveyance until fully six thousand people were blocking the streets. It had been intended to have the execution private, but the people from this and adjoining counties declared that it should be public and that if 8 wall was built around the scaffold it would be torn down. In view of the strong public feeling the orig inal plan was abandoned and the scaffold was erected on the lot back of the jail. Up to dark last night the murderer had shown no repentance, but about 9 o'clock he quested that clergyman be called and the A the doomed man. He declared himself inno- cent and said he wouldn't lie about it." He said he felt no malice toward anyone and was perfectly willing to die and was sure of going to heaven. He also ex- pressed wish that he might be buried in his old clothes so that Satan might know him when he came across him. At late hour he retired and rested well until called this morning. He partook of breakfast and pre- pared for the execution. At 12:45 religious services were held in the jail, but during the whole time Caton remained stolidly quiet and took no part in what was going on. After the services were concluded the prisoner was led out of the jail by the jai1er and armed escort. He walked firmly and mounted to his place on the trap without hesitation. He was asked if he had anything to say. He replied, '.No," Everything passed off quietly, though the hanging was witnessed with much relish by an outraged population. The neck was broken instantly.

 WASHINGTON, May S.-The court of inqui- ry appointed by Rear Admiral Jouette to in- vestigate the conduct of Commander Kane of the Galena has made the following report of it's finding:
 The American flag was insulted alleged by the seizure of the steamship Colon and the forcible of American citizens, including officer of the United States navy in uniform and Mr. Robert K. Wright, jr., United States consul at Aspinwan, which, however, find to have been done on the Both day of March under forces which in our opinion were not revolutionary but were part of an armed mob acting under orders of one Pedro Prestan, who denounced by both political parties of the State of Panama robber and an assassin, who called himself revou- conduct of Commander Kane was in our opinion, based upon the concordant testimony of all the witnesses who have been before the court well as those who have testified by deposition eni- nently proper. He acted with judgment, discretion firmness and in accordance with bis orders Had Commander Kane acted otherwise than he did there is no doubt that the lives of the American citizens imprisoned by Prestan would have been sacrificed with no benefit to Americans to other foreigners either in the saving of life property. The burn ing of Aspinwan would have followed the murder of Prestan prisoners and in all probability other American citizens would have been the victims of Prestan's malignant fury.
 Secretary Whitney has approved the find ing and directed it's publication in justice to Commander Kane.
