Making n Mouse Useful.

In French town in which the tele-
graph wires are laid underground, tel
sgraph line was interrupted. The
workmen pulled out the wire and re-
paired it, but then discovered that they
could not pass wire through the pipe,
oy means of which they could pull the
telegraph wire back into place. A.
laborer, however, found an ingenious
way of avoiding the difficulty. He
caught a mouse, and tied to its tail a
very slender wire. Then he put the
mouse in the pipe. At first the mouse
refused to submit to what it perhaps
regarded as an indignity, but when a
big cat was brought, the mouse ran for
dear life through the pipe, dragging
the slender wire, by means of which the
workmcn pulled the telegraph wire
through. st. Petersburg Rodnik.

Feed Little and Often.

A consideration of the anatomy of
the horses stomach affords some use.
full indications regarding feeding and
watering, When convenient, horses
should be fed at short rather than
at long intervals. This is an obvi-
Gus indication, for the small size of
the stomach precludes the horse from
rapidly ingesting quantity of feed
sufficient to do him for a long period.
This applies with even greater force
to watering. 1t is very common
practice to water horse only. three
times a day, the water being by some
given before meals, and by others After
wards. Whichever of these plans is
adopted the system is bad but
it is worst when the later method is
adopted. For when the horse, with
his small stomach already filed with
food, ingests large quantity of water,
a great portion of the food must be
washed on into the intestine before
the gastric juice has had time to act
on 1t. And fit be the case that
gastric juice is formed even in the
fasting stomach, then watering before
meals must wash away this juice into
the intestine, where it is ofno service.
Horses should therefore have water
at short intervals, and where pracitca>
BILE they should have free access to it
in their managers. When this is the
case the horse drinks frequently, but
never in quantities so great as practi-
cally to wash out his stomach.
