Wasf.iny Horses.
Pennsylvania farmer writes: The
custom in some countries of washing
horses in hot weather deserves some con-
sidera,on. A horse covered with perspira-
ton dry in patches, it may be, and covered
with dust must feel refreshed, as we'll rs a
man. if the bathing be done at the proper
lime and care exercised afterwards. The
method | adopt is thus described: AS soon
as the horse is taken out and harness re-
moved he is scraped down carefully
Then q bucket of tepid water is placed at
band, and the horse is spunged all over
quickly. after which he is rinsed down
With watering pot of tepid water, scraped,
and rubbed. Then some clean straw is
placcd over the back and loins, and over
this light horse rug, and the horse is put
into his stall, No draught is permitted, Of
course. Reaction takes place in the capil-
laries of the skin, and the horse gets dry
and gleek. He will now enjoy his feed
and beverage, and take his rest with en-
joyment. When wanted again he will be
found free from marks of harness, pre-
senting a glossy coat. Some people are
against washing, and justly so when it is
done by lazy louis, but when it is done by
active grooms there is no risk, and the ami
nal must be much the better than when al
lowed to dry off in perspiration and dust.
The custom of washing legs is not objec-
tonable if the legs are rubbed dry, but
when tepid water is used with elbow grease
10 we'll dry the legs, and heels especially,
ii is beneficial. 1t is only condemned be-
cause grooms do not dry the heels, and the
heels getchilled, crack, and scratches de-
yelop. No horse should be put up for the
night with dirty feet or hoof The feet
should be washed out carefully ana the
GRIT removed from under the shoes; the
coronet should be examined to see if any
cut or tread exists. Many cases of lock-
Jaw might have been prevented had this
care been taken and the slight cut attended
toat once. The underpart Of the tail
should be sponged every morning and
evening Neglect of this explains why
horses rub their tails bare and make such
sorry sights. The name should also be
washed at times, Us we'll as brushed.

MADISON LETTER.
MADISON. WIS. Feb. 8, 1873

MADISON, WIS, Feb. 6, 1888.
DEAR Journal: L suppose that you
have long since learned that nothing
so infatuates a crank as to receive rec
Ognition from an editor to the extent
of having his productions put in print.
And no doubt you have also learned
that cranks sometimes entrap editors
and secure such recognition, after
which, through the proverbial tender
ness of the average EDITORS heart, it
becomes a serious matter, and pain
full undertaking to attempt to shake
off his crankship and shut him out of
the honored circle, known as journal.
istic contributors, to which you have
admitted him. Well, taking it for
granted that you have learned these
things, in fact, feeling sure that your
recent experiences have taught you
all this, venture the advice that, in
the painful case now ON your hands
you use due caution, and not resort to
the shaking process until you have lis
tened attentively to the still, small
voice which now speaks within the
cavernous depths of your elephantine
heart, (elephantine means large) in
language something like the ''illustri-
Ous'' who said 20 the man out in the
tall timber with fell intent and an AK
on his shoulder, "WoOdmSn spare
that tree" Though the voice within
may only indulge in parody and softly
whisper, editor spare that crank, you
will. hope, feel the force of the re-
mark and postpone the shaking, for
the benefit of your many readers, and
for the peace of mind of the crank
himself, and to avoid for yourself the
greater annoyance of getting a piece
of said crank's mind, in case the shak-
ing is resorted to.
Having duly cautioned you, and do.
mated valuable advice, as, in such i'm.
portant cases am, in the plenitude of
my generosity in the habit of doing.
will now proceed to illumine your COL
umns with few bright jewels from
the place where | keep such things.
Nothing can scarcely be more cheer
ing to one who, always from his base
of supplies, with no one to administer
solace in his hours gloom. feels like
an owl in jungle, safe but pretty
much alone, than meeting and greet
ing those familiar faces remind him OF
the old landmark and OF his own vine
and zig tree. Thus was your humble
servant made to rejoice during the
past week by being permitted on
Thursday to exchange shakes with
Pres. Parker. and Regent Guy, who
we're at the capital ON important
business with the board of regents,
and on Saturday with Prof. King,

smile met US at the hotel at the hash

There is no piece of apparatus insthe
school-room capable of as much annoy
ance as that eall-bell on the teachers
desk when it is in the hands of teacher
with the disposition to use it. One tap,
the class gets ready, tap two, the class
place feet in the aisle, tap three, they
stand, tap four, they face about, tap five
they pass, tap six they face to the front
and tap seven, they sit. They are tapped
back to their seats in a similar manner
thus making total of twelve taps for the
movement of each class In a school of
twenty-eight recitations we have, includ-
ing intermissions, three hundred fifty
seven taps to control the class movements
for one day. This necessitates an almost
constant jiugling of the call-bell, which
becomes in very short time an almost
intolerable nuisance.
An exact contrast to this jingling of
metal is the pleasant voice of the teacher
when she says, "Class -, please
stand. Pass. Sit" There is magic in
the voice of the true teacher, heard in
these requests, which no call-bell can APP
proach-no matter how silvery may be
its tones. Do not use call-bell unless
your voice is too garrulous to be heard
and then perhaps it would be better to
change your occupation.
The only occasion upon which the call
bell can be used to any advantage is
quieting the pupils during intermissions
or calling them to duty at the opening of
school.

any way except they come in legal way.
Pupils are forbidden TO abuse each other
on the way to and from school. Such
rules made and enforced in a number of

much in quelling many difficulties arts
