a ne,c method Of measuring a current

A ne,c method OF measuring q current
Of electricity has been disised by Pro-
fessor George Forbes, which is ex-
tremely simple in principle, and can
not fail to he an important addition to
the list Of modern electrical inven-
lions. The action OF the meter de-
ponds upon the heating power OF the
electric current. Before passing into
the lamp or motor the whole or part OF
the current passes through a 1ats hori-
zontal coil of wire, above which Is sus-
pended a little wheel provided with
inclined vanes like a miniature Wild
mill. AS the coil becomes heated by
the current the hot air risec and sets
the wheel in motion, ard the number
of revolutions, which are proportional
to the amount OF ele ctgicity used, are
registered by gear wheels connected
with 1t, the same as In an ordinary gas
meter. Variations In the strength OF
the current heat the coils more or less
and cause the registering-wheel to turn
faster or slower. Unlike all other
meters, 1t is adapted to measuring al
ternating currents Of electricity. In
which the direction is reversed many
times a second, as well as the currents
which flow continuously in the same
direction.

Brittle Roofs In Horses.

Horses are frequently troubled with
brittle hoofs caused by deficiency OF
water in the bone. This is caused in
various ways-feyer Of the feet. or com
mon founder, inflammation of the interior
Of the foot. exposure 10 fermenting
manure or filthy stables by which the
horn Is saturated with moisture contain
ing ammonia, leaving the foot covered
with mud; or even continued hot or dry
weather or an unhealthy condition Of thc
system will produce this trouble in the
feet. The horn becomes dry and grann-
lated, and separates very easily. crum-
bling or splintering away until there j.
scarcely crust enough left 10 faSten ,hor
upon. The remedy i, of course, The
removal of the cause and restore the
moisture Frequent washing Of the feet
with cold water with attention to thc
health and to give the horse clean bed
ding and an earth floor to stand upon, or
else a deep bed of >awdust, will prevent it
or cure it in many cases. Glycerine and
water in equal parts are an excellent
dressing for the hoofs. An occasional
soft feed. as bran mashed with little
linsecd is also useful because it keeps
the horse in good health aud cool. Tar
is sometimes used a. hoof dressing
with advantage, but it needs caution in
its application.

Whole Grain for Small Chickens.

Much Of the feeding Of chickens is Of
soft food. 1t is easily picked by the little
fellows. aud they can quickly fill their
crops from a daub of wet meal thrown
on the ground before them. This too
rapid eating is one of the worst evils in
artificial feeding young chickens. They
gorge themselves, become snrfeted and
die. We have found whole wheat much
better, beginning for two or three days
by breaking the grain in two pieces. 1t
does not matter, however, if the little
fellow is forced to do this work himself.
He will struggle, with a wheat or oat
grain two or three minutes aud at last
after a desperate struggle, swallow it.
The very hardness of the whole grain
keeps his food from compacting in his
crop. We would not, however, feed
whole corn to very young chicks, nor
indeed corn ground into meal, as their
principal diet.

WATER sTEEET st.Th,ssr. Maine,

Having lust returned from the New

purchased in large quantities, for cash at
low prices, We were never before, in all
our long dealings with the people of this
vicinity, able 20 give such Bargains in
every style and description of Carriages,
as now.
Our stock is now open for inspection
and sale, and consists of all kinds of Open
and Top Carriages.
Among the bargains we offer are Bug
gles with full leather top, steel axles,
steel tires, boted between every spoke,
and IN every way fine smooth looking
Job, that we can sell from 5000 to $500.
Acknow edged by all the best trade ever
offered in town.
Handling, as we do, more carriages,
probably than any other firm in Maine,
and being former carriage manufactur-
er, and thoroughly conversant with all
details of the business, we feel confident
IN saying that We are able to give our
customers better carriage for the money
than can be obtained elsewhere Hay-
ing sold carriages in this section for the
past ten years, We shall continue in the
future as IN the past to represent our
goods Just as they are, and if at any time
they should prove otherwise, we stand
ready and willing to make them good or
refund the money.

Carriages whether You purchase or not.

Weeds for Poultry.

When Poultry are confined many young
weeds, as well as grass, can be made to
contribute to their support. Ducks will
eat all the purslane, ragweed. and lambs
quarter weeds they can get while pigweed
is quite a luxury. We have flock Of
Brahma hens that receive no green food
except the well known lambs quarter and
they will eagerly eat ali they can get.
Some of the young and tender weeds are
more nutritious than grass, and should
only be given when young and succulent.
There is no better food for geese than a
mess of purslane.

IMPROPER SHoEING.-Many of the
ailments and diseases of horses foot
are caused by improper shooting. one Of
the worst of the evils is the practice by
many blacksmiths of hot fitting and
clipping. Burning the sole of the foot
will in time partially destroy the sensitive
laminW. 1t impairs the membraneous
lining under the coffin bone and closes the
pores of the horn, causing the hoof to
become hard. dry and brittle. 1t also
impedes the healthy growth of the hoof.
1t is alleged that shoes cannot be fitted so
rapidly nor as closely as by hot fitting
and this is generally true, for by this
means the hoof is burned to correspond
with the inequalities on the surface of
the shoe, until the latter is thoroughly
imbedded in the horn. Owners of horses
should see that their blacksmths do not
practice this injurious mode of fitting
shoes.-IhUadelphia Record,
