Never feed n horse with hay from q
rack located above his head, as adraurht
beats down which is injurious, and the
dust is liable to injure the eyes.
A horse should not be overworked,
Tor, like man, he gets tired, and to keep
in good condition, he should have rest
and good bedding.
Sometimes Il horse will not emf his
usual food. A mash of oatmeal. milk
warm, is about the best food to rive n
horse under such circumstances. And
then a horse should have grass. It is
his natural food. A continual diet
OF hay hardcns the coating of his
stomach. The food is not dipested.
Cnrbonic acid gas is generated, and the
horse dies in agony, swelling up, suf-
terlng from what is commonly known as
collie. Then, again, horses need we'll ven
SLATED stables, free from draught or
damp. The floor should be smooth and
nearly level. 1t should be we'll drained
and light, for sudden change from dark
ness to light is trying to the eyes, and a
damp, offensive odor is injurious. Then.
again, the bedding and litter should be
carefully separated from that which is
lou. They should be we'll shaken up
and dried, and the stall should be thor.
oughly clcanscd, and when the stable is
empty, let in a plenty of fresh air.
A horses stall should be large enough
to allow him to lie down comfortably in
any position. A tired horse will be clad
to lie down with his legs stretched out
II ne has room; but if you cannot give
him a loose box, then a light halter
block should be used, and care taken to
arrange the Halter SO that it may travel
freely to allow the head to come easily
to the litter, for rest and sleep are M
necessary as food and water.
fla horse comes to the stable wet. he
should be rubbed dry before the
blanket is put on. If he is standino
about IN the cold, it should be put on.
The legs should be rubbed, and the
hoots always examined for stones.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
save IN Straw.

While American and English agricul-
fnral writer's have been for many years
emphasizing the importance of keeping
the straw of our grains upon the farm,
ahere has not yet been enough said to inn
Fress upon many of our farmers its manu-
rial value, and they still look upon it as
q piece of good fortune if they are able
10 dispose of their straw for cash. The
return is indisputably more speedy, but
unless a good round price is realized,
whereby you can buy back the elements
In the straw for less than you sold them,
it is not the fortunate speculation it may
appear. Better pillow the straw into the
field than sell it for any small or merely
nominal sum; but the best use for it is
as bedding for stock, where it acts partly
as an absorbent. Grains are rapacious
eaters, feeding on minerals of the soil and
nitrogen. Analysis have shown the
straw Of Winter wheat to contain H.. 5
per cent. of potash; of soda, 30; magnc-
STA, &c; lime, GO, to say nothing of the
phosphoric and sulphuric acids. An
alysis of Winter rye straw give 1877 per
cent of potash; of soda, 3.3; magnesia,
81; lime, ~, besides %phosphoric and
nitric acids. These arc sufficient to con-
clusively show that the straw of grains

words, about 675 pounds of pork may be
produced from one acre of clover. If q
bushel of corn will make 10
pounds ofpork, there will be about 600
pounds rs the product of an acre.
In the corn growing states corn is the
best and cheapest food for hogs; as with
it well developed, full-grown hogs will
lay on fat very rapidly, but wen when
plentiful and cheap it's exclusive use is
unwise. When feeding corn regularly
give also roots, potatoes, apples pump
klns and other vegetables, stewed or
boiled
Regularity in feeding and watering
should always be considered important.
and the amount of feed given to each
animal, or pen of animals, should not
vary much.
The cost of production should be duly
considered. Weaned pigs at two months
OLD and averaging 40 pounds are usually
worth about So. Fed for six months in a
pasture, receiving also peas, bran, shorts,
etc., they should weigh 200 pounds
when taken out and placed in the fattcn-
ing pen. The cost Of this increase of
100 pounds would be about SIS. Four
months of fattening on corn, roots, etc.,
bring the weight upwards of 800
pounds, at an additional cost of So:
making a hog a year old cost $40.

wooded up to the line Of the railroad.

wind fans up flame from these smoder-
ing trunks, which will burn for
month unless heavy rain extinRuishes
the fire in them. A stone thrown
at random into broad iield OF ashes
sends up a shower of sparks, and the high
temperature shows that the very ground
Is on fire. A singular tAIng about the
forest fires Is their tenacity. The farmers
say that even alter heavy rain, which has
put out fires in timber, they have dug into
the ground and found it on fire to depth
OF two inches. North OF Velp and extend
ing northwest for a dozen miles the woods
are all ablaze. and, dried up by the first
fires are now burning like tinder.

KEYsERs STATUE OF DcKALB.
Imposing dwelling Ceremonies at
Annapolis.

Annapolis,
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Aug. l6.--The cere-
monies attending the unwilling OF the De-
kalb statue to-day caused this historic
old city to awaken from the lethargy with
which it is usually enwrapped. Fully
10000 strangers were in attendance, and
the city was gaily decorated in honor OF
the occasion. The statue Is considered
the best work of the young sculptor
Ephraim Keyser, to whom the work was
given by ex-Secretary Frelinghuysen. 1t
represents n German soldier IN CONT
mental uniform, with sword up
held, and Is a magnificent bronze
work, measuring 9 feet in height, mounted
on granite pedestal 13 feet high. TWAS
erected on knoll at the south end of the
State House grounds aud faces due south.
The ceremonies opened with parade IN
which part was taken by the United
States naval officers, cadets and marines,
all the State militia, Knights of Pythias,
German societies and other organizations.
The unveIling was according TO the solemn
ritual OF the Masonic order, and was in
charge of the Grand Lodge OF Maryland,
Thomas j. ShrvOck, Grand Marshal, with
Bouzant Commandery, Knights Templar,
as guard OF honor. The veil WAS with
drawn at 2:30 O'Clock, when the national
salute WAS fired from tho Naval Academy.
Secretary of State Bayard, who was ac-
cOmpanied by the Turkish Minister, re-
ceived the statue from Sculptor keyser.

There can, therefore, be no question
Of the establishment OF German
prOtectorate over Samoa without the
assent OF England and America. The
change IN the consular stat OF the three
powers at Apia, advocated by Germany
and already set afloat by America. meets
with obstacles owing to the refusal OF
England TO make change with a view
to paving the way for a dehnitlve settle

with Germany's proposal, have dispatched
special commissioners 10 Samoa. The
fact that they were not concerned In the
late disputes affords a guarantee Of an
impartial report"

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Austro- Hunga-
rian cholera reports for to-day are:
Trieste, Is new cases and 3 deaths, and
Fiume, 8 new cases.
The Italian reports are: Barletta, so
new cases aud 30 deaths; Ruvo Di Puglia.
II new cases and Z deaths; Bologna, 13

deaths; Bisceglia, - new cases and 2
deaths; Acquaviva, ii new cases aud 3

The geographical area affected by the
cholera exhibits the capricious behavior
Of this mysterious disease. Thus IL is
worst la Barletta, which Is far
away TO the south, where the coast
district between Monte Gargano
and Brindisi is more or less affected.
Thence it makes o clear leap of 800 miles TO
Ravenna and Bologna, then turns north
ward, extending, though In n less viru-
lent form, throughout Venetia, including
the Island OF Chioggia, and reaching as far
east as Verona and as far north as Castel,
France, at the foot o. the Alps. IL is a
noteworthy Iact that the places most
seriously threatened lie in tho centre or
on the edge of marshy plains, formed by
alluvial deposits Of rivers, or sitting OF
the sea, which always induce more or
less malaria at this season Of the year.
