WATERING HORSES.
An Important Duty, and How 1t Should
BE Performed.

| An Important Duty, and How 1t Should
Be Performed.
Do you expect your horse. like
camel, to lay in a supply of water to
last it across the desert of an entire day?
Do you even expect it to go half day
without drinking, and all this time draw
the pillow or drag, in the blaze of burn
ing sunp If so, you are all wrong. The
stomach ofthe horse, compared with the
size of the animal, is no larger than that
of man. The horse perspires, as man
does, and as a natural result it gets
thirsty the same. When you feel the
need of drink because of heat and the
loss of moisture by perspiration, think
of your horse, which very likely is suf-
fering the same us you are. If not
given sufficient drink, it will take in an
enormous and injurious quantity of
water when it gets q chance, drinking
until its sides are extended and it is al
most ready to split. 1t then is really in
no fit condition for any thing until some
of this water gets into the circulation,
cooling and refreshing the fevered
atoms Of life, and the balance is
thrown off through the appropriate
organs. Then your horse is back again
to the normal condition of health
and activity, and no longer feels logy
and lazy, as if the whole system were
ready to fall apart. With the stomach
and intestines full of water, the horse
is not even i'll condition to eat The
wash of so much water must both dilute
and carry away through the intestines
the gastric juices designed for use in the
digestive process. Then give your horse
frequent opportunities to drink. A few
swallows as you put it up at noon or
night in the stable will do it good and
help digestion, but gorging with water
should be avoided. AS with water, so
with food, the small stomach of the horse
requiring comparatively concentrated
food and at frequent intervals. When
you are at work or riding ON the road.
and feel your own stomach calling for
food. you may know your horse feels
the same need, as he is doing more ex-
haustive work than you are, especially
if you are riding. Working on an empty
stomach is drawing on the constitutional
resources of the body. Such drain
should be avoided as much as possible.
Remember, the animal nature of the
horse is very much like that of the man;
for this reason, the horse requires food
and drink with the same frequency and
regularity that man does National

MANAGEMENT Of BULLS.
Vicious Animals Made So by the Brutality
of Their Attendants.


of Their Attendants.
The idea that every bull is incorrigibly
vicious, is not warranted by the facts.
Kindness and firmness are as necessary
in the management of bulls as in the
case of any other animals. A writer
says: In something like thirty years
experience of short-horn herd, in
which bulls were reared for sale, and
into which sires were drafted from va
r;ous herds, I have never known a vi
cious bull, if l except the following case,
which goes to prove the truth OF my
contention. One young bull was what
[ calleu lively one, playful and simply
needed that you kept your eye upon
him when loose, or in his gambols he
might have upset you. Once, when he
was chatting at his strap, owing to flies,
visitor, a friend of the owner, struck
him several blows with his stick, re-
marking that he needed correction.
Had the bull been loose, the correction
would have been reversed, for so long
as the bull remained in the herd, when
ever he heard the voice or the footsteps
of the man who had struck him, he
made desperate effort to release HIM
self. In proof that his rage was re-
served for this one man, may mention
that one night a noise was heard in
the farm-yard. One of the men went
down, and found the bull
loose in the yard. He walked up to it,
took it by the nose-ring, and led it as
quietly as lamb back to its stall. In
this herd the animals were always
kindly but firmly treated, and kept in
constant contact with human beings;
up to year old they were let out daily
i'll the yard for exercise. Before being
sold a ring was put in their nose, and
they were bound up in q stall by a
leather strap round the neck, and af-
fixed to head stake, with movable
ring to the latter, regularly led out for
exercise, and kept in touch with the
human attendants. Whenever l hear
of vicious bull, i come to the conclu-
sion that he has been badly trained in
youth. Whenever | hear of bull at
tacking a human being, | am convinced
that he is but repaying previous brutal
treatment. When COW kicks on being
MIXED, she is either suffering from sore
teats, or has peen abused. Whenever
a cow holds her milk, it is sign that
her attendant has ill-used her. When
ever see kicking, unmanageable or
stupid horse, depend upon it that he
has been in the hands of an incompe-
tent breeder or trainer, or both. Either
he has been unskillfully treated as a
foal, or badly broken.-Scottish Agri-
cultural Gazette.

!A1 Extraordinary Hen.

The following account of rather re-
markable hen may be of interest. She is
a cross between game hen and Brahma
cock, and was Matched in May, 1888. She
commenced laying in January of the fol-
low ing year, and laid one hundred and
eightynine eggs, within the twelve
months. Last year she laid one hum
dred and fifty-six eggs, and is still lay.
ing. may add that she is quite a cooke
ney, having lived on the leads of a public
office for the last two years, her owner
being the hall porter. She is very fond of
lying before the fire, stretching herself
like dog. At meal time a chair is placed
for her at the table, her food being washed
down with liberal supply of stout. Posi-
bly, it is the latter, combined with the
warmth of her quarters, that has caused
her to lay SO well. The most curious thing
is that great number of the eggs have
been laid in the lap of the porter's wife.

joint When these points are felt to be
well covered, the other and better parts
may be considered to be in perfection,
and a prime condition may be expected.
But the general handling must establish
the real condition, for there is a wide
difference between the apparent and
real fairness of an OK. The flesh OF an
OK that appeared very fat to the eye
may teel loose and fiabby; but truly
fattened animal always feels ''hand
fat Such handlers never deceive the
butcher, while loose fattenings never
kill well. Scottish Agl., Gazette.

JUDGING CATTLE.
The Good Qualities of Animals Ascertain
able by Touch or Handling.

The GOou quantities OF ANIMALS Ascertain
able by Touch or Handling.
In judging cattle the touch as well as
the eye is brought into request, and ex-
cept in regard to certain points of con-
formation and color, we are by no
means sure that touch is not the
most important qualification.
The skin and the flesh can only be
fully examined by touch or handling.
And in ascertaining if the bones are
well covered with flesh, and if the latter
is soft to the touch and ample in guam
tity on the examined points, the squeeze
of the palm of the hand is not so deli
cate as the touch of the tips of the lin
gers, the former ascertaining the guam
tity, the latter judges of the quality.
The touch may lie hard or mellow, fine
or harsh, good or bad, as it is frequently
termed. A slow feeder is marked by
having thick-set, hard, short hair,
which constitutes bad touch; thin,
meager, papery skin, covered with thin
silky hair, though the opposite of the
one Just mentioned, does not, constitute
a good touch, but is indicative of weak
ness of constitution though probably of
good breeding properties. A good
touch will be found in a thick, loose
skin, floating as it were on a layer Of
soft fat, yielding to the least pressure,
and springing back towards the fingers
like a piece of soft, thick chamois
leather, and covered with thick, glossy,
soft hair which looks rich and
beautiful, and seems warm and CONF
Portable to the animal. A curly pile
of soft hair indicates a vigorous con-
stitution, and also a propensity to fat
ten. Such skin is termed ''mossy,"
from resembling a bed of fine, soft
moss. The sensation of q fine touch is
very gratifying to the handler; the ami
NAL is liked, and more especially as it is
mostly accompanied by symmetrical
form. Long practice is required to APP
preciate fine touch, but when it is &C
quired it is alone sufficient to estimate
the feeding properties of an OK.
In the fat animal the position of the
flesh on the carcass is great considers
ton. The finest meat lies on the loins
and rump, and on the fore and middle
ribs; consequently the OK that carries
the largest quantity OF beef on these
points is the most valuable. The other
parts, of various qualities, and used for
soups and sailing, do not fetch the high
prices of the parts described.
The point or top of the rump is the
first part of a feeding OK that shows the
fat, and the parts that are last in being
covered with flesh are the top OF the
shoulder and the point of the shoulder

The Queer Sleeping Place Selected BY
Little Jack Crawford.
[Wellsville (O.) speciall
A remarkable feat of daring in child
and miraculous escape from death is re-
ported from Williamsport, this county,
where vigorous search for natural gas is
going on. Gas hunters have taken COM
plete possession of the little hamlet and
its surroundings, and the prosecution of
their work furnishes interest and curiosity
for the country boys for miles around. A
gusher was struck at Williamsport the
other day, and derrick eighty -eight feet
high is still standing to support huge
escape-pipe, from which at night blazes
flame five feet high. Last night dozen
boys paid the vicinity visit, going from
well to we'll, out of curiosity. They were
accompanied by little Jack Crawford, a
lad of nine years, who remained at the big
derrick, while his companions continued
their journey. When the boys were ready
to return home the little fellow was
nowhere to be found. One of the boys
looked up, and imagined that he discov-
cred the outline of a form on the top plat.
form of the derrick. Taking off his shoes,
he climbed the dizzy structure. When
within few feet of the top he was hor-
rified to find little Jack peacefully asleep
on the very edge of the derrick, with gas
burning high above him. Mastering all
his courage, the rescuer stealthily crept up
to the little slumberer and aroused him.
The lad sleepily rubbed his eyes, and said
he wanted to go home. 1t was with great
RI I,oy IN
the rickety condition of the derrick.
While his companions were gone the child
had climbed to the top of the derrick, and
beng tired soon fell asleep. 1t was a
miracle he did not fall, as the plank upon
which he was found is by actual measure
ment only six feet long and two feet wide.

NERVOUS COUGH.
An Affection Whose True Nature ID Not
Universally Understood.

An Affection Whose True Nature ID Not
Universally Understood.
One may have hard, dry and vio-
lent cough, and yet the lungs, bronchial
tubes and larynx be in a perfectly nor
NAL condition. s~g
Says Flint: ssIn most of the cases of
this kind which Ihaye seen, the cough
has peculiar barking tone, and the
pitch has been low, showing that the
CLOTHS was dilated at the instant of
coughing. In some cases, however,
the tone is shrill and the quality of the
sound croupaI, showing spasm of the
glottis. In case recently under OBJ
seryation, the cough consisted of a
single, short, hoarse bark, often repeat
ed several times minute. 1t is. some
times in paroxysms, having a resem-
blance to those of whooping cough.
The peculiar sound of the cough, to-
gether with its frequent recurrence and
sometimes its violence, renders it dis
tressing to those whose sympathies are
excited, and annoying to Others
1t is mostly confined to females OF
historical tendencies. 1t may be in
iduced by involuntary irritation. A
school for girls was once broken up by
it. The slightest change Of tempera-
ture excite it, as do also penetrating
odors. It is constantly attended by
sneezing and snuffing.
Shadewald, who has recently given it
special attention, found it could be pro-
duced by gently touching certain point
within the nostrils. This point is the
termination of one of the filaments of
the trigeminal Cor trifaciaD nerve, and
it is to its irritation that Shadewald re-
CARDS this cough as due. Hence he
calls it the trigemtnal cough,
1t bears q striking resemblance to
nervous asthma, and the latter is now
thought to be the most pronounced form
of trigeminal cough, with its seat within
the nostrils Ramifications of the trige-
minial go to the pharynx (the back part
of the mouth), and also to a portion of
the ear, and hence this cough may some
times be due to trigeminal irritation in
these parts, but it is most frequently
met with from irritation of the nerve
within the nostrils.
OF course no treatment directed to the
throat or lungs will be of any avail,
and its persistence against all ordinary
remedies may cause the gravest fears.
But the peculiar barking tone of the
cough and certain nervous character
of the patient may suggest its real ma
ture. The medical attendant should at
once suspect its trigeminal origin, if he
fails to find any organic explanation OF
it. All treatment should be directed to
the nasal nerve, and the main object
should be to lessen its undue excita-
bility.
Galvanism is warmly recommended.
Cauterization is often effectual, and so,
for time is slight bleeding of the
parts. The copious secretion to which
iodide of potassium, administered in
ternally, gives rise is helpful, by wash
ing out the irritating particles. In
lighter cases, this and the inhaling of
vapor are often sufficient. - Youths
