The issue is simply whether Presi-
Dental elections should be controlled

James Wick says: We must aim for
fruit storage houses above ground. You
will never get what you want in building
under ground, where there is always damp
ness. | think you can erect a wooden
building with walls thick enough to keep
out frost. Fruit kept in the cellar with
other fruit and vegetables is not what it
ought to be; there IS a faint to the flavor,
and a great deal Of fruit is injured by
being kept in this way A person living
in the city ought to have house to pre-
serve the fruit he wants for the table II
we do not see fine fruit on the table every
day through the winter, it is a sure mark
of great negligence On the part Of some.

Pure air is as essential to the blood as
sound food is to the sustcnmcc of the
body Consumed mir is vtatcd air, the
volume OF oxygen is reduced, carbonic acid
is in excess The stable is full of organic
impurities given off by the skin and the
lungs. Ventilation is found in all well
regulated stables, and draughts arc I'M

Good grooming is demanded under
stable management and in fast work The
brush as rule, should follow the direc-
ton of the hair, except when dirt and
sweat are caked onto the coat then you

Horses fed largely on other foods de
mand less hay, but hay is useful in dis
tending the stomach, and thus assisting
digestion. From six to fourteen pounds
daily; the average use is ten pounds in
many stables. To maintain hunting or
racing condition, old hay is essential.

tive and cooling, and excellent for the in
valid horse or the youngster They
should be given sparingly, at the early
part of the season. Green forage should
never be given to horses in fast work, ex
cept on Saturday nights.
The horse may be trusted to guage his
thirst, except on occasions of extreme eX
ertion. That horses are the better for
being watcred before being fed is an ad-
mitted fact with all veterinary surgeons.
Collie and gripes are thus avoided. The
explanation given is this. When the
stomach is full, water, passing rapidly
through the stomach, on the way is very
apt to carry with it into the small intes
tines undigested corn, and this produces
local irritation. There is less danger in
watering a horse actively warm than
when the system is somewhat lowered
Soft water is better for all stock, and on
no account let horses drink dirty water;
it is most Objectionable.

GOOD GRAPE VINE WELL TRAINED.
The Mills grape is introduced by
Mcssrs Ellwanger and Barry. 1t is the
result of crossing Muscat Hamburg
with Creveling. It is claimed that this
grape is little later than the Concord
and long keeper.
Mr.. f, Williams, in Orchard and Gar
den, from which the above illustration is
taken, advises in addition to the trial of
new varieties, enough trustworthy old
standbys for an abundant home supply.
He says truly that one vine of well
tested and approved kind, like Worden or
even like the older Concord, may prove
worth more than ten yet untried novelties
which do not happen to succeed with
