All horses must not be- fed in the
same proportion, without regard to
their ages, their constitutions or their
work-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 its
cheapness, because there is no proper
nourishment in it.
Damaged corn is exceedingly inju-
rious, because 1t brings on inhamma-
ton of the bowels, and skin diseases
Chaff 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
in either.
When a horse is worked hard his
food should be chiefly oats-if not
worked hard his food should be
chiefly hay, because oass 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
chatf makes the horse chew his food
N ore, 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 a 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.

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

The British African Steamship
Company royal mail steamer Cam
Groom arrived ia 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 tbs king of Falaba, together with
the whole of the royal family and
some of his principal followers. 1t
appeared that the Mohammedans
uRder Alta Samuda and Mahoadi
Darami made an attack upon the
Falaba 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
met in large house, where there was
stored "a 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
Falaba 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
Northumberland, alth 9uga any of
his hearers could do so if they chose.
All replied that they would rather die
than become M0hammedans. 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.

ABOUT the first of October, 1888,
there was truly great celebration on
the banks of the Rhine in Germany.
A clossal statue of Germanie was un-
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 a million people attended the
festival, it was regarded with some
misaprebension by the friends of
pease in the world at large. But 40
political consequences of moment
we've 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 a fuse led
TO stores of dynamite, alone saved the
princely equipage. The discovery Of
the plot came no less than six months
after the commemorative ceremony,
and the eight Anarchisl were put in
jai, at Elberfeld, on the Rhine. The
third of last November they were
transferred to Leipsic, a plot having
been failed BY which a rescue was to
be attempted A fortnight afterward

to not go to either extreme, but to

THE celebrated Sharon divorce case
has been decided in faver Of the
plaintiff. The suit, as brought by the
plaintiff, Miss Sarah Althea Hill,
claiming to be the wife Of ex-senator
Sharon, was for divorce and division
OF the common property. Judge Sui
liyan's decision is very comprehen.
siye, containing %, 600 words After
reviewing the testimony, he concludes
by declaring that under the laws Of
California, the plaintiff is the legal
wife Of Sharon, and as such entitled
to divorce on the ground Of willful
desertion, and to a division Of the
common property. The latter, it is
estimated, will be worth $40, 0O0,O 600.
The verdict is a great surprise to the
public, it having been generally sup
posed from the contradictory charac-
ter Of the testimony that the plaintiff
would have been non suited. 1t is be

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 oxygeHatlon
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 6ne Aavoring 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 a butter-milk
flavor in it. Though there may be or
may not be any accounting for tastes,
