Horse Fec ding in Winter.

The horse nee more care during the
winter than in the summer. lie should
be rubbed dry whenever coming in from
a drive or days work, that he may not
have to remain in the stable with his hair
wet and mates; either with pcrspirat!on
or with the rain or snow to which he may
have been exposed, and his legs, and
especially the feilock joints, thoroughly
cleaned, and all STOW or mud removed
from the feet. lie shoald never be fed
dusty or mouldy hay nor damaged grain,
and it will be better if all hay be slightly
wet before it is fed. Have regular hours
for feeding and give about the same
quantity at each feeding. The practice
of keeping the rack or manger full all
the time, or of throwing in forkful Of
hay every time the stable is entered, is
wasteful as we'll as injurious to the
horse.
Oats are as cheap rs hay at present
prices, so that it is better to sell hay and
buy oats than to keep without grain and
give all the hay the horses will eat. Oats
are also better than corn or corn meal
for horse that is not worked all the
time, as they are not so heating. A few
roots each day serve an excellent pur.
pose in keeping the stomach and bowels
in good condition, and carrots or turnips
are the best for this purpose. some horse
men preferring one and some the other.
Probably turnips are best for growing
colts which are not worked, as they con-
tain more of the phosphate or bone form
ing material. This is especially true
when they are grown upon super phos.

WHY Jews Live 40 Long.


The New England Medical Monthly COM
ments very favorably on the proverbial long
and healthful lives Of the Jews. DR.. Picard
holds that this superiority is due to their
stringent health laws. The Mosaic, like the
older Egyptian code, is very stringent re-
garding the eating Of flesh and other articles
Of food. Of the animals examined large
proportion are always condemned as unfit for
food. People who eat meat Unfortunately
are very prone to disorders Of the blood and
of the Kidneys, for meat is composed of nitro
gen, which the kidneys have to remove from
the blood, and Of course they cannot do this
successfully except by the aid Of Warmers

Origin Of Stoves.

Stove is derived from Saxon stofa.
One of these sources of domestic In
felicity, however modified its form, is
merely fireplace inclosed on all sides,
the air entering from below and carried
OF, as in common CRATE, by vent.
The general principle is-frst, to employ
the iuel in the most advantageous man.
ner for heating the external part of the
stove, and, second, to keep within the
room as much of the air so warmed as is
consistent with wholesomeness and
cleanliness.
A fixed stove (stuba) was used in the
time of the Roman empire for heating
baths, and in Germany and Scandinavia
for baths and hothouses. In the middle
ages they were generally constructed OF
brick or tiles, sometimes of slate or stea-
tite (soapstone), and used for warming
dwellings. They were huge structures,
sometimes occupying the whole side
of a room, and in Scandinavia their
broad, flat surface was the sleeping place
of the household. The fire was kindled
at the bottom, and the heat and smoke
passed through various fucs before
reaching the chimney. The stoves were
economical Of fuel, matter of much i'm
portance in some parts of Europe. In
the homes of the rch they were some
times faced with porcelain or hig hly pol
ished tiles. Many will remember, no
doubt, porcelain stove of this descrip-
ton exhibited in the Swedish depart
mcnt at tho Centennial exposition 10
1876. They have ovens and hucs for
cooking, and need to be rcplen1ished
with fuel but once in twenty-four hours.
One of the first attempts at making a
stove of iron was that of Cardinal Polig-
nae in France, in the early part Of the
eighteenth century. The polignac fire.
places, so.called, were constructed with
hollow backs, hearths and iron jambs to
economize the heat. In 1716 DR.. Dcs.
auglicrs, of London, modified these fire.
places to use them for coal instead Of
wood. But neither these nor the Hol-
land stoves ever became popular in Eng
land, owing to the strong prejudice in
favor of the open fires.

Fcrtilizin by Feeding Stock.

A recent work treating of agricultural
matters, suggest feeding stock as one
method of restoring farm to a good
condition. Thousands of farmers, it
says, in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New
York and Ohio. and even further west,
where the land is not as rich as it once
was, and where farmers are learning the
value of manure and the advantage of
good farming, practice regular system
of feeding animals to feed their land.
they make hay, grow corn, roots, rye,
wheat, potatoes, and make butter; sell
the grain, potatoes and butter, and feed
hay, corn fodder, roots and straw, and
even purchase feeding stutfs, and buy
lean stock in the early fall to consume
all these. The cattle or sheep are
turned on the stubbles and pastures as
long as there is good feeding. They are
then fed during the winter on dry feed,
and as they become fat and fit
for market are turned OF,
so that by the spring they are
all disposed of. A steer weighing 1900
lbs. and costing $40, is thus made to
weigh 1000 lbs and sell ior $50, or
even more; because there is not only
the increased weight made for the profit,
but the increased value of fat animal
of thin and unstable one. The feed
is thus disposed OF at a good price, and
there is profit beside to pay for the
labor. In addition, there is a large
quantity of manure, which is worth
much more than common barnyard
manure because Of the high feeding of
the cattle. In a similar way the owner
of the poor land may buy cattle, and all
the fodder and grain, and feed them,
and make an equal profit as the farmers
above mentioned; because they charge
he.animals with the feed at market
price. There is then the manure left to
20 upon the land and increase the next
years crop, which makes less purchased
food necessary. As the land improves,
and the crops increase in yield, the
profits of the business are larger. In a
few years it will be unnecessary to buy
fodder, and the income from the farm
will then be more satisfactory, bccauee
the expenses will be lcssened.

HOu.e.sOld Hints.

Blankets for baby cribs made of cider
down cloth, are both light and warm.
1t is a shame for mother to allow her
child to become bow limbed-keep the
heavy toddlcr off from his feet until the
limbs can bear the weight of the body.
When q wash boiler begins to rust and
is still too good to cast aside, make a
good sized bag of strong muslin or old
bed ticking, put the clothes to be boiled
into it, and save them from rust.
A box holding half bushel or more OF
drv, white sand will furnish almost end
less amusement for the little ones during
Stormy or cold days. Give them cor
ner of the kitchen with plenty of spoons
and pals.
A fact worth knowing around the
laundry: That by adding two parts OF
cream of tartar to one part of oxalic acid,
ground fine and kept dry in bottle, you
will find, by applying little of the
powder to rust stains while the articles
are wet, that the result is much quicker
and better. Wash out in clear warm
water to prevent injury to the goods.

Live Fish in a Wheat Field.

There are several fine trout streams in
the vicinity of Silverton, and H. G.
Guild, who edits and publishes the Ap-
peal there, has become quite Il fsholo-
gist. Like all who write or talk about
fish, some of his statements seem almost
incredible, rs the following sample
shows About three years ago, farmer
on Pudding river built fish pond and
stocked it with yearling carp. That
winter the river overflowed the pond, and
the fish escaped, and have since remained
in the river. Not long since, farmer
who had q field of fine fall grain adioin-
ing the river, noticed that something
had been wa'lowing it down. There

self conveniently at hand, and in the
bright moonlight stood a watchful senti-
mel over his field. He had not long TO
wait before his vigil was rewarded by
the appearance of long train of objects
that came waddling up from the river
into the grain. Waiting until the in
truders had tapped over q considerable
space of ground, the farmer made rush
and was almost paralyzed to find that
the visitors were carp, who were feeding
like swine upon his succulent wheat.
Procuring club he killed dozen of
the largest and took them home. The
fish displayed considerable awkward
agility in escaping to the river. The
farmer will have fresh fish all winter.
Carp are known to be very fond of
wheat, and it is scientific fact that they
can sustain life out of their native cle-
ment for several hours at tiIne.-Port-

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD,
The way TO Run a Farm.

IAN old Farmers Taik to his Boys.)
When 1 was young at farming,
I'd watch the turnip-tops,
And quickly 60 to wishing
For good, big, roEslng crops.
Iwished for mammoth pumpkin
All others to outweigh;
In short, l took to nothing
But wishing all the day.
A solace sweet and soothing
Ineverv wish woull lurk,.
Till dreaming speculation
Seemed surer than hard work.
I wished my cellar full OF
Potatoes with will:
wished the granary groaning
With corn go to mill.
While other farmers wished for
A good supply OF rain,
thought it as sound logic
TO wish for fruit and grain,
And so / went OH wishing,
Contented with my lot.
In autumn no potatoes
Were boiling in my pot.
I tell you I discovered
That wishing only breeds
Ken disappointment: wishing
Won't pull up choking weeds;
It won't hoe corn in summer,
Or husk it in tho fall;
tell you, boys, that wishing
Won't run farm at all
That winter my po.at es
had to so and buy
Right from my smiling neighbors,
-.. Who had good supply.
They'd slvly ulge their elbows,
And tauyh5m with laugh,
That labor's waeat that's golden,
AND specu a;ion thaf.
Learned this cool!y lesson
And in my heart it teens
One day of horo>t labor
Is worth ten years IT dreams.
And row in Idly wishing,
My duty meier I shirk;
But Just roll up my shirt-sleeyes,
And like beaver work.

What is known as Asiatic cholera, from the
fact that it first appeared in ASIA is probably
the most severe and fatal of all diseases. Epi-
denies Of it have occurred in Asia, particu-
larly in India, for several centuries. 1t was
not, however, till 1917 that the attention Of
European physicians was specially directed to
the disease by the outbreak Of violent cpl
demic of cholera at Jcssore in Bengal. This
was followed by its rapid spread over large
portion of British India where it caused i'm
mense destruction of life both among natives
and Europeans. In 1923 it had extended into
Asia Minor and Russia in Asia. From this
period till 1880 no great extension took place,
but in the latter year it appeared in Persia and
along the Caspian Sea, and thence entered
Russia in Europe. Despite the strictest sani-
tary precautions, the disease spread rapidly.
It ravased northern and central Europe, and
spread onwards to England, appearing in Sum
derland in October 1881 and in London January
1882, during which year it continued to prevail
in most Of the cities and large towns Of Great
Britain and Ireland. The disease subsequently
extended into France, Spain and Italy, and
crossing the Atlantic spread through North
and Central America It entered Europe
again in 1S47, whence it came to America, and
subsequently appeared in the West Indies. A
fourth epidemic visited Europe in 1S65-66, but
was les, extensive and destructive than its
predecessors. This year it again appeared in
Europe, and is now raging to an alarming

In starting a blackberry plantation,
according to the conclusion reached ata
recent meeting of the Grand River Fa!-
lev Horticultural society of Michigan, 1t
is the best economy to buy root cuttings
rather than to USE suckers, though the
former course is more expensive at the
outset.
1t will not do to apply coarse manure
to newly seeded clover. No other plant
is more easily smothered, and, while the
ground will be fertilized under the
mulch, it will lose the greater beneflt
from the growth of clover roots IN the
subsoil But manure applied as top
dressing before clover seed is sown IS
always beneficial, and is one of the best
ways to insure a good catch.
The large amount of feed that can be
grown on an acre in turnips makes this
very exhaustive crop. The succeed
ing crops will show this plainly, and
unless turnips can be marketed cheaply
it is hardly worth while to attempt
growing them on a large SCALE English
farmers make turnips ,rcnovating crop,
but they do it by feeding sheep on the
turnip patch and giving other rich food
III addition.
Many of the large crops per acre which
are reported arc grown on very small
patches and the crop from these multi
piled by the number required make
full acre. A single hill of potatoes may
thus be taken, and this multiplied by
4. $50, the number of hills on an acre at
three feet distance apart But results
thus obtained are Of little value. Taking
quarter or at least au eighth of an acre
is much better test.
