CARE OF FARMS TEAMS.

believe that ten hours of labor in the
field, writes a correspondent of The Rural
New Yorker, are enough for men or
horses, and even in harvest I and my
men leave the field at 6. A 5 O'Clock
supper and rush of work in the "cool
Of the day" will do more to break down
men and teams than any other practice
of the farm, During the working season
feed from four to six quarts of oats,
according to the size of the horse, and
the best hay have--all he wants if he is
not n glutton. | am to keep him in
good flesh but not fat. Here is a pro-
gram of day III summer: Fed at 5:l5
am. with oats and hay; then groomed.
Leave for the field at $50, receiving
water, of course. Leave the field at H.
30 allow some drink and if warm, the
harness is removed and the neck is wash
ed The horses are then fed small al
lowance of hay, and after our dinner or
about 1870 they have their oats. The
teams leave for the field at l, receiving
water if desired, and remain till 6. On
coming again to the barn the same
care is given as at noon, the grain being
fed after our own supper, when they are
rubbed Oft and left for the night. The
morning, noon, and night feeds of hay
are in about the proportion Of two, one,
and three respectively, and 1t is intend
ed that each shall be eaten clean. It
will be seen that I keep horse for his
work, AID work means with me ten hours
of labor. / never hurry or worry, nor
do | allow long stops. II the weather is
oppressive, or the work very severe, |
give rests short aud frequent, taking
care to raise the collars from the necks.
The article / criticised said the horse
should work from sunrise till noon; then
no more till after o'clock, evidently
seeking the ''cool of the day." Thus we
lose the animals labor in the most valu-
able part of the day; besides, the fore
noon is too long and few horses could
endure the work. As I work teams the
horses endure the afternoon fully as we'll
as the forenoon. | will say IN defense
of my system, that it does not Subject
horse to great physical strain, nor is
there the consequent danger arising from
overfeeding. l never lost horse and
mine are never sick. Often in winter,
with little work, change the diet to
corn with corn fodder or oat-straw. In
brief, / am to treat my horses well, give
them all they need to eat, comfortable
quarters, and good care, but L do not
conduct the farm for their benefit
nor dedicate our lives to their pamper-
ing.

your travels through the country" says
an Englishman, III speaking of the
United States. ''you are constantly run
ming across two classes of people, the
hifalutin' boosters who think they can
whip all creation, and the apish imitators
of European ways, who spend their time
in apologizing for their country. But it
is only fair to say that the vast majority
of the people belong to neither of these
classes. Unfortunately, however, vis-
iting Englishman is much more likely to
meet two classes spoken of than the
larger class of self respecting Americans
who really represent the genius of the
country. And SO he goes home with q
false impression of the people. New

FIRST AMERICAN DAGUERREoTYPER

FIRST AMERICAN DAGUERREoTYPER -
Marcus 4. Root, the first American da.
guerreotyper, died in Philadelphia re.
Gently, at the age of so. He was born
in Granville, O., and moved to the Quak
er City in 1885. In 1S43 his attention
was called to the daguerreotype. He at
once gave up all other enterprises, and
was soon established as the leading
daguerreotyper in this country. He had
orders from all over the world. and
founded establishments in New York,
Boston, St Louis and Washington.
The first daguerreotype he ever took was
taken on silver and was a view from one
of the windows of the Philadelphia mint.
1t was on exhibition at the Centennial,
and is now in possession of The Phila-
delphia Press. The portraits of Henry
Clay and Daniel Webster on the United
States currency were taken from dag
uerreotopes made by Mr.. Root.-New

THE VERDICT UNANIMOUS.

W. d. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind,
testifies: 81 can recommend Electric
Bitters as the very best remedy. Every
bottle sold has given relief in every case.
One man took six bottles, and was cured
of rheumatism of 10 years standing. %
Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville,
Ohio. affirms: "The best selling medi-
cine have ever handled in nv 30 years
experience, is Electric Bitters." Thous-
ands of others have added their testi.

that Electric Bitters do cure all diseases
of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only

SUFFERING FOR THE SAKE OF KEOwL-
EDGE.-One evening a few years ago a
schooner dropped anchor III an unknown
bay on the east coast of New Guinea. A
boat pnt off from the vessel, landed a
man and his portmanteau on the beach
| and put back again. The schooner at
once sailed away, leaving the solitary
figure on the beach in the darkness.
No white man had ever visited that say
age coast before, and no man inspired
By less lofty purpose would thus have
ventured among the utterly unknown
savages of Astolabe bay. The man was
DIR. Miklucho Maclay, the Russian
ethnologist, and his burning zeal to add
to human knowledge led him, like many
other heroes of science, to forgego all
comfort and hazard his life. When the
natives next morning found the white
man sitting on the beach, they thought
the strange object had dropped from the
sky. They nearly killed him III their
experiments to determine whether he
was a god. They imprioned him in a
hut and watched him day and night.
They nearly starved, him because a god
should not require food. They tied him
to a tree and shot arrows close to his
head and neck. because, if be were q god
he should not be frightened. Two of
the arrows inflicted severe flesh wounds
upon the helpless captive. Then they
pressed their spears against his teeth to
make him open his mouth, and in many
other savage ways sorely tested his tenn
| per, courage and strength.
At last they decided that be had drop.

a god, because his wounds bled and lie

fellow and grew daily more and more
fond of him, because he was always

him, and many of their sick soon recov-

years DR.. Maelay lived among these saw

OFFICIALLY SQUELCHED.
THE ROYAL BAKING POWDER COMPANY
CHARGED WITH MAKING \ FALSE
STATEMENT.
From the American Analyst.

From the American Analyst.
The following circular, published IN the
/ Ohio State Journal, Columbus, NoYem-
| Der Il, 1887, fully corroborates all that
we have felt it our duty to say about the
! publication of the report of the Ohio
/ state dairy and food commission, as mis-
quoted by the Royal Baking Powder
| Company:
| STATEMENT FROM COMMISSIONER HURST.
| To the Editor:
About two months ago | published my
| official circular No. 6, on the composition
| of baking powders, and included in it the
| analysis of thirty brands of this class of
| goods which were generally sold and
| used in Ohio. / did this for the informa-
| ton of the people of the state, who were
consumers of these goods, but who had
not the opportunity of knowing their
| chemical composition, and having laid
| before them the plain ANALYSIS to choose
for themselves. Ihad no thought orwlsh
/ to favor any particular brands or variety of
| powders, and gave no personal opinion
/ as to their respective merits. / simply
| stated the facts that were generally ac-
| knowledged, and the questions that were
| still unsettled in regard to this class of
! goods, and left the purchaser free to buy
or use whichever brand he preferred.
One month ago there appeared in your
| journal and in many of the leading papers
of the state, false and garbled state
ment which does this commission great
| injustice, and which L apprehend was
| published as paid advertisement of the
| Royal Baking Powder company. This
! false and garbled statement makes quota
| tlons from my circular without using
| quotation marks, and so mingles and
| blends its statements, interpretations
and comments with the language of the
| circular as to leave the impression that
| the article was semi-Oflicial This article
| pretending to quote, but distortlng and
misrepTesenting my official circular as it
| dld-was a most fragrant abuse of an Of
| fetal paper. 1t was greatly misleading,
| and the publication of such a document
was wholly uni niustitiable. 1t was alike an
| injustice to the trade and to this COM
mission, which sought to make an i'm
| partial and unbiased statement of the
facts relating to the chemical compost
ton of the baking powders of commerce,
| and to the chemical changes wrought out
In the processes of bread making. Per-
sons wishing to look into this matter can
be supplied by this office with copies of
the original official circular and analysis,
| and no weight or consideration should be
given to the unfair and misleading state
| ment referred to. Respectfully,
