 The London police had considerable diffi- culty in preventing a recurIence of the riots, but finally succeeded in driving the mob froD Trafalgar Square.
 Although the reports of the London riot as received by cable were very much e1agger- ated, still the affair was serious one. Fifty thousand workingmen paraded the streets and no doubt the affair would have passed off as an immense labor demonstration had not gang of ruffians attached themselves to the party and committed depredations on all sides. Leading men were attacked and in- jured, and clubs, hotels and private residences received showers of stones and brick. The police seemed entirely unable to control the mob, although they behaved admirably. The shop keepers lost heavily as many robberies were committed. All reports show that the turbulence was not of workingmen who had demonstration, but of thieves, pick pockets, roughs and hangers-on. It was finely quieted.
 The striking factory operatives at St Quentin, France, erected barricades in the streets of that city Saturday, and a conflict between the military and the strikers was be- ieved to be imminent.

How to Tell the Ago of Sheep.

Almost every stockman knows how to tell the, age of horse by it's teeth; but many of my readers may be, as was un- til shortstim ago, ignorant of the fact that the age of sheep may be deter mined in the same way. A sheep has eight front teeth which make their ap- pearance duxing the first year, when they are all of small size. The following year the two middle teeth are superseded by others of larger size. During the third year two otheNsmall teeth, one on either side, are shed and their places are filled by larger ones. This makes four large teeth in front, hanked by two pointed ones. The fourth year the large teeth are six in number; and only two small teeth remain, one at each side. These disappear during the,sixth year, when all the teeth are large. After this time the age cannot be definitely determined, but the condition of theteet enables an ex- perienced person to make close guess. Signs of wear arc generally visible dur ing the sixth year, and during the seventh year, sometimes earlier, the teeth begin to fall out, or aretbroken off entirely.

When and How to Feed Horses.


 A horse ought to he fed when he is hungry, ant he ought to be hungry every day. What makes him hungry2 The constant waste of the system. The mus cles, when broughtsinto use, waste some- what; especially exercise or labor is draft upon the muscular system-in fact upon the whole system. After the sys- tenn has been taxed, and if the tax is sufficient to partiallyAexhaust or fatigue the animal, rest is moFe important than feed; hence the horse should stand and rest awhile before he is fed Digestion demands flow of blood to the organs then at work, and as the blood has been drawn away from them to sustain the muscular exertion during the labor, it should not be suddenly withdrawn, and turned in upon the organs of digestion. Hence let him rest, and after an hour or 80 he will be found keen and 'sharp set" There is probably no better, food for recuperating exhausted muscle'than good, sound, heavy oats. They are-easily digested, nutritious, muscle-binding and blood-making in high degree. They are little heating, do not tend to make horses sweat, and on the whole are the best food horse can have. Barley is very good, but not equal to oats. Indian corn is poor substitute, not so easily digested, heating and causing the animal to sweat. As to system, horse should have hay first, then grain, and water when these are digested; or water should be given half an hour at least before feed ing. Horses often have dyspepsia, in- duced by being fed when warm, or being worked after a full meal The practice of feeding hard-worked horses at noon, and working them immediately after, is of doubtful utility. Horses will go eight, and probably ten, hours without food, if properly fed at evening and morning. They should have water more frequently, but never when hot.-Ameracan -Agricul- tu7lst
