= LeutsiaBA state Lottery


On the application Of Richard Keat-
ing, an injunction has been granted by
Judge Tuley restraining the Adams Ex-
press Company from paying TO Edward
Curtin $4,000 on lucky Louisiana
State Lottery ticket. Heating claims
that Just before the last drawing he and
Curtin each bought ticket with the
understanding that IL either Of them
won anything it should be divided.
Like nine-tenths OF the patrons OF such
schemes, Mr.. Heating drew big blank
there wasn't dollar within shooting
distance OF his ticket. Curtin on the
other hand, was something like man
who falls into river and gets out with
out wetting--he was so lucky that he
couldn't believe the report that he had
won $4,000 until the express company
notified him that the money was ready
for him. Heating, it is claimed, re-
minded him OF his promise 10 '.divey,"
but was rudely repulsed. Mr.. Curtin
was the winner and didn't propose 10
throw away any Of the prize on n man
who couldn't pick out lucky ticket
Hence the injunction and the danger
that, if the matter rests much longer
unsettled, the lawyers will fatten on
the $15. 600, and what they leave will be
so small that beth Curtin and Heating
will be ashamed TO quarrel about it,

MANAGING HORSES.
Details That Will Bs Observed by Every
Thoughtfai Farmer.


rhoughtfaI Farmer.
In the care of horses there are many
little details, each perhaps of itself
considered unimportant. on which. To
great extent. the health of the horse
and his ability to do the required work
depends. Whatever interferes with
the comfort and thrift of the horse
intended for constant use deprcciates
the value Of his services In no other
way. perhaps, is horse made SO un-
comfortable as when kept In stable so
carelessly built that the wind and cold
pass through cracks between the
boards on the sides and chill the ami
NAL. He is fastened in his stall. and
there is no opportunity for him to
escape the chilling currents Some
stables are built with n basement, and
the floor above is land in such away
that cold air is constantly passing
through from below. No horse can
rest comfortably in such a stable. He
is in special danger when he comes
into such a place while heated from
rapid or heavy work, for a blanket is
likely to be thrown over him. with the
idea that it will afford all the protec-
ton needed. while in fact the most
sensitive portions of the body, and the
limbs also, are left exposed To iraughts
of cold air. This frequently brings on
congestion. of some of tho vital organs.
When the horse is brought in warm
and sweating. he should be we'll pro-
tected by blanket large enough to
prevent currents of cold air from
striking him, and his legs should be
well rubbed, to prevent soreness and
swelling. If the horse is much IA
tIgued, it will be desirable to bandage
the legs with flannel and walk him
about until the circulation has resumed
its normal condition.
Care should be taken to see that the
supply of it to keep him in good con-
gtion and spirits. Some kinds of food
will agree with one horse and not with
another. When it is found that GER
tain food affects horse unfavorably.
a change should. of course. be made at
once: yet how many fail to notice this,
and the horse loses condition for want
of proper attention. Oats will be found
the best food for driving horses. rs
corn has the tendency to produce in
digestion. A little oatmeal and bran,
given occasionally. will keep the bow
els in good condition, preventing con-
stipation. Many feed too much hay
this should be given in moderate quan
tity. and most of it at night, after the
horse returns from his days work.
In arranging the hangers, the COM
fort of the horse should be studied.
These are very often placed SO high
that the horse is uncomfol ltable all the
while when eating. The natural posi-
ton of the horse when eating is to
have the head down, and for this rea-
son the feeding box should be placed
so that the horse can eat without hay
ing his head so high that mastication
and swallowing are difficult. In many
ways the comfort of the horse in the
stable can be promoted. and the watch
full eve of the owner, who knows what
should be done. will often be necessary
to prevent neglect on the part of those
who have the daily care of horses
