COLIC IN HORSES.
The Cause, Prevention and Cure of Thi
Frequently Fatal Ailment.

The Cause, Prevention and Cure of This
Frequently Fatal Ailment.
Collie is generally caused by the fer
nentation of undigested food in the
animals stomach. 1t was formerly
supposed that when the stomach had
performed its function of digesting a
meal, it remained inactive until time
for the next, but modern scientific
discovery has shown that such is not
the case. The flow Of gastric juice is
never entirely suspended, and between
meals much of the fluid portion of it is
absorbed, leaving a thick, adhesive
substance which coats whatever ii
first comes in contact with. thereby
preventing the fresh gastric juice from
doing its work If the horse is given
his grain first, he is usually very hun
CRY and in his eagerness, especially if he
is compelled to shell his corn, he swal-
laws great deal whole. This becom-
ing coated with the gelatinous sub
stance that is in his stomach, remains
there undigested and ferments, produc-
ing carbonic acid gas, and as the horse
can not rid himself of it by belching il
up, it must pass out by way of the
small intestines, irritating them and
causing collie.
The best way of preventing this that
[ have been able to learn, is to make
the horse eat little long feed before
giving him his grain. If he re-
fuses it, let him go without the grain
until he does eat it; he will soon learn.
1t benefits him in three ways. First,
it takes up the thick substance in his
stomach, which can do the hay or fod-
der no harm. Second, it starts the
flow of saliva in his mouth, which
helps the stomach greatly. Third, it
reduces his appetite to a point at
which he will chew his grain, instead
of swallowing it whole.-G. Il
Renaore, in Farm and Fireside.

taken often throughout the year.

taken often throughout the year
the days outing is probably N
greater hygienic value than the longer
period. The first and last requisite to
make the day profitable Is to spend il
as the taste inclines always suppos-
ing that it doesn't incline to break the
commandments and that it leads to
something entirely outside the usual
routine. Go fishing; if you like that.
Go and see a game of base-ball-this
advice may seem superfuous, but,
strange as it may appear, men and
women do exist who have never seen
the National game in all its glory, and
need urging before they will go. Go
to the woods, far from the maddening
crowd, if your fancy leads, and study
the beauties of nature; if you are gre
garious. call on your neglected neigh
Dor, or visit the town ten miles away
that you have always heard of but
have never seen. Don't visit your
cousins in town or out; they don't
want to see you in warm weather.
Stay at home and get acquainted with
the baby, or if you happen to be the
baby's mother leave the infant to it's
paternal ancestor and fate for the day.
If nothing better offers stay at home
and sleep. You might do worse. Give
yourself, in short, q change of occupa-
ton, something new to think of once a
week. thereby getting out of the rut,
and so far as your enjoyment and well
fare are concerned it will not matter
greatly whether or not you join in the
yearly pilgrimage to the seashore, the
mountains or Maxinkuckee. .-Minfae-

POULTRY ACCOUNTS.
How They Can Be Made of Much Value to
Those Who Keep Fowls.

Poultry accounts, when accurately
and regularly kept, can be made Of
much value to those who keep poultry
Without these, it seems to me, there
can be but little satisfaction in follow
ing poultry y-raising as business, be-
cause one will have only vague idea
whether he is making any thing out of
the investment or not. Every keeper
Of poultry should, therefore, keep a
careful account Of his stock; recording
all the expenses incurred, and the to-
tai amount of remuneration received,
on the proper sides of the sheet If
the cost of buildings, stock, etc, is
not reckoned in the account, an allow
ance should, of course, be made for the
interest of the money invested in these
in these things. By having such an
account he can ascertain at any time
what the cost of his flock and the re-
turn from eggs and meat are for any
length of time, and he will be able to
judge accurately whether he has been
successful or not. If it appears that
his business has been profitable
to him, he will feel safe in going into
it more extensively. On the other
hand, If he has been unsuccessful, his
failure, if he is in earnest, will stimu-
late him to increased efforts in the care
of his fowls, in order that he NAV Sc
cure more profitable results from
them. He will study his business
more carefully than ever before, and
try to ascertain the points in which he
has erred, and where he can make i'm
provements. These advantages, with
others, will be experienced when
proper accounts are kept. Without
them, as already remarked, the poul-
try raiser can never be sure whether
he is doing well or Ill with his fowlA

Feeding in sheep husbandry Is

However good the breed, without good
care and feeding they must necessarily
degenerate.
Good water is absolutely necessary

springs, where the cows get their
water, and clean them out, or fence
them off with barb wire if necessary

Astonishing Invontions Recently Made by
IN Old Newspaper Man.
Mr.. d. H. Craig. formerly manager
Of the Associated Press, has devoted
nineteen years to the development OF
machine telegraphy, and claims to be
able to telegraph two thousand words
Der minute from each end of wire
total, four thousand words in sixty
seconds.
| Tho messages Or reports are legibly
and uniformly recorded in ordinary
telegraph characters, which can be
read by clerks familiar with them at
the rate Of about one hundred words
per minute.
Messages, to be sent over the Morse
lines, must first be written or printed; !;
but message to be telegraphed by
tho new system must first be perfor-
ated, for which Mr.. Craig has a
beautiful little machine, 8x10 inches.
with two banks Of keys, called a
composer" which even a child can
operate reliably and quite expertly
after an hours practice, and after a
reasonable amount of practice fifteen
to thirty words per minute can be per-
forated. simultaneously with the per-
forations the machine prints. in plain
Roman, every word Of the message,
which is retained, while the perforated
message is sent to the telegraph office
the same as a message is sent in
manuscript to be telegraphed over the
Morse line, with this difference-the
machine message will be transmitted
to destination at the rate of one thou
sand or two thousand words per minute,
and be legibly and accurately recorded
In telegraph characters, and the Morse
message will be telegraphed by the
hand-key system at the rate Of fifteen
to twenty-five words per minute and be
recorded by "sound +" reading in ordi-
nary manuscript. 1t is claimed that
the machine record is three times
more accurate than "sound" recording.
With the regular Office perforator
experts do, reliably, fifty words per
minute, or 5000 per hour; and it is
claimed by Mr.. Craig that the actual
cost OF transmitting 1000 words 1000
miles is not over cents!
The cost of paper to perforate 1000
words is cent, and cents for record
ing paper. Experts, young men or
young ladies. do perforating for 10
cents per 1000 words, and the same
for copying on the type-writer-total,
rs cents for completing 1000 words!
On this basis 1t would cost for labor
and paper less than $50 to telegraph
and complete forty-eight columns of
this newspaper from New York to
Chicago.
MIR. Craig has also devised a new
telegraph wire, made of pure copper
with slight mixture of silica, which
Is said to increase the tensile strength
to twice the strength Of steel of equal
size, the exact tensile strength being
reported as $4,000 pounds to the
square inch.
No. gauge wire weighs over 90C
pounds per mile, and has about one
ohm of electrical resistance per mile.
With such a wire, extending from
New York to San Francisco, the elec-
trical resistance would be about 5000
ohms, while majority OF the tele-
graph wires between New York and
Washington show an electrical resist
ance Of more than 1000 ohms-thus
the new siliconized copper wire will
bring San Francisco nearer to New
York. electrically, than New York is
to Washington.-N. Y. Sun.

VACATIONS A NECESSITY.

Rest Absolutely Essential to Avoid Men
tai and Physical Breakdown.
Although "going away for the sum-
ner" has long been fashionable, and
summer vacations have become GUS
tomary among nearly all classes Of
people. great many persons yet re-
main who do not leave their homes Or
business from years end to years end.
These stay-at-homes are not always
such from inclination; usually they
would prefer to indulge in the annual
outing with their neighbors, but neces-
sity, or fancied necessity, which is the
same in effect, chains them to the
daily round of duties. To all appear
ances they suffer neither in health nor
strength by this lack OF rest and rec
reation, and are apt to plume them
selves upon their physical stamina.
In the course of time, however, the
mOnotony of their lives tell in loss OF
spirits, breaking down of nervous
force; and rest, often prolonged and
sometimes useless, because too late,
must be taken regardless of convent
ence. Whether it is better to wait
until such a breakdown occurs or to
wand it OF by proper care Of soul and
body. are questions to which there
can be but one answer. And it is the
mind rather than the body which, in
most cases, needs the greater atten-
ton. People, however confining their
occupations. are not apt to overwork
themselves physically; summer vaca-
tions are not SO much needed to give
rest to tired muscles as to tired brains;
change OF scene or occupation is re-
quired to give new turn to thoughts
that have been too much in one
groove. More farmers wives are found
in insane asylums than any other one
class; but the deadly monotony of their
lives does more to drive them dement,
ed than the cooking, the milking, the
-hurning and other household labors,
arduous though they be. Variety OF
interests is what the human being
needs to keep him in wholesome men,
tai, moral and physical condition.

southern countries take at MONDAY,
midsummer seems the fitting time for
