The National Live Stock Journal
says there is point to be observed in
fitting barn for the reception of hor-
ses, and that is the stalls. The mar
row dimensions of the slall are a posi-
tive cruelty to the horse. Many stalls
are built too narrow to enable the
horse to extend his limbs when living
down. He is compelled when in a re-
cumberent position to double his
limbs up under him; his legs are thus
kept in cramped position, when he
ought to be comfortably at rest. A
narrow stall tends to make horse
FESTIVE and uneasy, and frequently in
duces him to kick violently against the
contracted sides of his narrow prison,
and develops in him the Objectionable
practice of crib-biting.

LONDON. June 26.-Lord Randolph
Churchill opened the campaign at Pad
dington tonight in two-hours' speech.
The meeting hall was crowded With an
enthusiastic audience. Lord Randolph
defended his election address which has
been 90 much criticised. Every word Of
it be said was gospel truth. He sat
down TO write il with the resolution to
tell the truth and shame the devil. Mr..
Gladstone's schemes, he continued,
placed the government in the hands Of
tine Catholic Celtic peasantry under the
control Of American Adventures and an
unscrupulous fanatical priesthood. He
had nothing to say to the American dy-
Mantle and dagger faction but to offer
the old English challenge. our prisons
are large and rope is cheap. We have
plenty Of amateur haugmen, he declared,
and for the first victim of dynamite or
the dagger we have scores Of avengers.
Whenever an EnglishmsR falls the lives
and persons Of dynamiters and their al
lies will b. placed at the mercy of an
angry and outraged people.
