Feeding Farm Horses.

A veterinary surgeon recommends
that those who have charge Of horses,
especially farm horses. be taught that
the stomach OF horse is not like the
rumen of a COW, a mere receptacle for
food, but an essential organ of diges-
ton of limited capacity, which does not
need to be crammed in order to per-
form the proper function, and that 1t
can not be 80 treated without danger
TO the animal; that the teeth of the
horse are provided for the purpose of
masticating the food, and that food
which does not require mastication
should be spaiingly. II ever used. He
further recommends that no horse be
put TO work Immediately after a full
meal, and where horse has done a
full days work 1t should be allowed to
stand in the stable until 1t is cool and
comfortable before being fed A little
water may be given. and If d Httle
good hay be put into the rack it will
occupy bis attention, and besides re-
quirlng proper masticatiOn will further
have the effect to slightly stimulate
the stomach to secretion and prepare
il for the reception OF the feed which
is to follow Should a horse require
more food than usual to supply the ox-
ira waste of tissues caused by hard
work, give il by all means, but let 1t
be in excess of its albuminoids or nu-
tritious constituents, and let the horse
be fed oftener and not in increased
quantities at time. N w, Farmer
and Breeder.

SHE SAW GOLDEN HEAD APPEAR.
Not until nearly eight o'clock that
evening did Miss Gray venture from her
state-rOom. When she did so she crepi
cautiously along the corridor and paused
at the saloon TO gaze through the glass
before entering. Her hand was on the
knob when she felt light touch upon her
shoulder. She trembled, but did not turn.
She knew what the touch meant.
An arm-that same, lannel-coated arm,
by the way-stole into hers. and, without
knowing how or why, she felt herself be
ing guided up the broad flight Of stairs
that led TO the main deck. She was moi
surprised, after that and did not resist
when she found herself being insensibly
drawn towards that identical nook in the
rear Of the wheel-house.
Arrived there, no word was spoken.
As though sensible 10 her journeys APP
preaching end, the mighty vessel shot
through the water to the tune of the great
screws ceaseless throbbing. The water
was calm and placid, and the autumn
moon looked down upon two figures, one
with bent head. gazing downward; the
other with upturned face, upon which
there was shining a light which comes
into a true woman's face but once in a
lifetime. The figures, the moon might
have noticed, were very close together.
And when genial Mr.. Gray observed
his truant junior partner. Mr.. Julius St.
John, handing his daughter over the
gang-plank the next morning his joy
was great, from a business as we'll as
paterual point of view. But afterwards,
when told the story, he earned his
daughters keenest dispIeasure for a
space of nearly five minutes by declaring
that he believed st. John ''wormed
Lucrece's identity out of the captain and
then had the kid thrown overheard on
purpose" HAROLD Il. VYNNE.

Precautions That Have to BE Adopted
with the Coming of Cold Nights.
With the coming of cold nights or
cold rains, trouble may be expected
in the swine department Of most farms
1t Is therefore in order to caution the
breeder about checking cough among
the pigs. Some strong wood ashes
Ted with their drink or swill. will.
rs a rule. check the cold at once; but
I've in the proportion of pint to three
gallons of water or swill, is probably
better still. Ordinary 'soft soap
such as every family usually has-is a
good substitute for the above. Com
mon sense suggests that "cold" il
not stopped will result in lung fever
or some of the other febrile COM
plants
OF course, prevention OF disease is
the most to be desired. A sheltered
sleeping place, after frost sets In, is
one good sanitary point. But unless
the sleeping apartments are sub-divid-
ed to prevent more than five or six
large hogs or double that number of
shoates from ''piling up together, the
shelter does not accomplish much ex-
cept in warding off dews and frosts.
A variety of grain food-some OF 1t old
corn las we'll as the new, along with
bran and oats slop," once day, is
desirable. Plenty OF rock salt, al#dys
accessible. is good to keep the system
in tone. Glover, bluegrass or other
pasture is an advantage to growing
hogs, and in fact to most fattening
stock in autumn. AS rule, however.
care should be exercised. on frosty
mornings. to prevent the stock. young
pigs and shoats especially, from going
into the pasture before the frost Is of
the grass Cold dews or frost is the
cause of much of the diarrhuea among
pigs Recalling of experiences aud
consultation with fellow-breeder will
give the farmer and pork-gsower
other rules of value to be observed.

The Duties of Consuls.


Among the definitions none are more
comprehensive than this. A Consul is
a person commissioned to reside in a
foreign country as an agent or repre-
sentative of government, to protect
the rights, commerce, merchandise
and seamen of the State, and to aid in
commercial and sometimes in diplo-
matte transactions with such foreign
country. As distinguished French
man. Count Beugnot, has said, the es-
Establishment OF consuls has no other
object than the advantage. the in
crease, the security. and the police
regulations OF the commerce of ma
tions with each other Consuls are
furnished with credentials and instruc-
tions from the government they repre-
sent 10 tire rulers of the States where
they are to reside. and upon the pre-
sentation of their papers they are
duly recognized and may lawfully dis
charge the duties Of their Office Con-
sular duties in detail depend upon the
treaties existing between the countries
from which and to which the Consul
goes.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.
