How Horses Are Trained.

From an interview with trainer;
LAS for Rarey, the most Of his business
was trickery done by locusting and
loading. Horses are awfully fond Of
locusts and carrots and they will do
almost anything for them; but loading
is the great trick -
What is loadingp"
Loading is slipping about an ounce
weight of lead down the ear of the
horse. 70. slip load, to which a
small piece of string is attached, down
the horses ears, and no matter how
vicious the beast may be it becomes
dazed and stupid when the load plugs
its ears. The horse does not under
stand what has happened to the world
when he cannot hear we'll, and he
becomes as docile as you could wish.
When horse is loaded you can yoke
him or do any thing with him and he
will not object. 1t is thousand times
more merciful and far more effective
than the horrible plan OF putting q
twitch upon the ear or upon the nostril
q practice still INDUCED in by some
horse coupors. Leaden weights are
made for the purpose. Any small
weights will do, but it is better to
have one made to fit"

Something Important.

II is customary when cattle are turned out to
grass in the spring to let them feed on this cue
cnlent food until nature dries it up in the fall.
II makes good, succulcnt beef, but is it not too
auccnlent? Does 1t afford as much nutrition,
pound for pound, rs hay, grain, and root. or en-
eilage-fed beef? We suspect not. The bowels
OF the cattle are always loose, showing that
there lie q superabnndance Of water and imper-
feet digestion. IL the animal quite healthy?
Now, In winter, We 1nd that all dry feed il
not ~ good for cattle as that which Ii relieved
by one feeding day Of some kind Of sncculent
ration. The bowels Of the cattle get too cos
tive. The droppings are hard, showing lack
Of water and fcyerish condition. The succu-
lent food relieves this. May it not also be true
that all succulent food In summer lie not so good
as mixture with dry feed? Throw alock Of dry
hay to your cattle In pasture and how they
will rush for II, and how greedily they will de-
your 1t
Docs not this indicate q need Of dry feed!
Would II not regulate that extremely loose con-
dition Of the bowels? And would II not make
the meat frmer and more nutritious. In the
light Of reason, it would seem go Is not the
idea worth fair experiment?
Some may say that grass is the natural food
Of cattle. So il is, In their natural state: but
where they can live without the aid Of man, the
feed IL not the came as with us. Our animals
are in an artificial condition. They live on
comparatively dry feed half Of the year. Their
rystems are not wholly adapted 70 all green
feed. Besides. our grasses are cultivated ones.
We are long way from wild nature, in many
thinga. This should always be borne in mind.
We think the winter and summer feed ought to
more nearly agree. and not be quite SO succulent
In summer, nor so dry in winter.-NdtiOaal

A Romantic story

Justice Field of the United States
Supreme Court was Justice of the
peace in Marysville, Cal, when the lit
tie town was little more than collec-
ton of tumbled-down shanties.
A few doors from the Judges house
was boarding house where Jones and
George G. Gorham, who many years
afterward became secretary of the
United States Senate, boarded. Ad-
joining the boarding house lived an
lrishman, named Murphy. who had
very pretty daughter, whom he was
in the habit Of treating rather harshly,
TO use q mild expression, whenever he
had partakcn of too much mountain
dew. This greatly scandalized the
gallant boarders next door, and they
succeeded in arousing the sentiments
of the town against Murphy. One fine
night vigilance committee. Of which
Jones and Gorham were members,
waited upon Murphy and Informed him
that he must stop padding his daugh-
ter or stand the consequences, which
meant a ducking probably, in the creek
near by, ride on rail, or coat of
tar and feathers.
am not informed what the outcome
Of that visit was, but presume it ac-
complishcd its object. The treatment
at the hands of her father does not
seem TO have done much harm to the
young lady, except to cause, perhaps,
some temporary Inconvenience; for
she grew up to be fine woman, and
became in after years the wife Of Sen
ator William Sharon, and the mother
of Lady Hesketh, the wife of Sir
Thomas Hesketh of England. Cor

such an efficient champion of little

ernor, and Jones, the present Senator.
was put on the same ticket, through !
forget in what capacity. Judge Field
continued practicing his profession in
Marysvillc. Time and subsequent
events separated these three men, and
they did not meet again until they con-
fronted each other at the Capitol here,
the one an Associate Justice of the Su-
preme Court, another Senator from
Nevada, and the third as Secretary Of
| the Senate.
