HEAVY DRAFT HORSES.

Why Thoy Are Profitable to Raise and
Use on the Farm.
The farmers principal interest is in
the heavy draft horse. 1t has been
shown to be the profitable horse for
farm use, and to be profitable horse for
city work. 1t, therefore, is in sense
q very complete general-purpose horse.
It has not been many years since there
was deep-seated prejudice against the
heavy draft horses, both as to their use
on the farm and their employment in
the city. 1t was alleged that they were
too big and unhandy for farm work,
were devoid of Intelligence, and so on.
1t was claimed that their feet were not
good enough for city pavements, and
there was time that after a period of
use in some of our cities the rank
prejudice against them secured their
Punishment. But they have lived down
all this SANDER and to-day find the
readiest sale of any horse in the coun-
try. The average farmer has come to
believe that they are profitable to
breed and to use, though he may not
yet have owned any of them. We be-
lieve that the farmer who will breed
these horses will find it profitable.
There has been one practice that has
been against these horses, and very
injurious to the interests OF farmers,
and it behooves us to put stop to it
as rapidly as possible. 1t is standing
stations as full FLOODED animals. when
they are nothing but grades, and
sometimes but simply related to the
breed that it is claimed they fully rep
resent. Those seeking the services Of
a stallion can not be too particular
about inquiring into his pedigree. The
reputable breeders and Importers may
be relied upon to tell the truth about
horses that pass through their hands,
and to tell all they know about horses
whose pedigrees trace back to their
stock. 1t will pay to go to little
trouble and even expense to inquire
into the pedigree of the horse that is
standing in your neighborhood II
will pay farmer, too, to make q
study of these heavy draft breeds as
they appear at our fairs and livestock
shows. -Western Rural.

When to Feed Livestock.

How often should animals be fed?
This is "a matter of importance, as
feeding involves considerable labor.
AS rule, feeding quickly forms
habit, and animals will become accus-
toned to whatever manner may
be adopted so long as the digestive
functions are not disturbed. Two
meals daily, at intervals of twelve
hours, are quite sufficient, and are
probably better for the animal, giving
the digestive organs full time for tho
performance of their functions, than
three, at intervals of six hours in the
day and twelve hours in the night.
There is no doubt that any herd Or
flock will thrive just as well with two
feeds in the twenty four hours as with
three In twelve hours and a twelve
hours fast. American DairymSa.

The work for which love makes me strong,
Though all its Joy be gone!

As by your side crept;
My head was sheltered by your breast,
You toiled and thought while took rest,
You Weakened while slept.

All fortunes gates were golden barred,
Alas! we had no key;

whose ignorant conjectures have caused
you so much pain, merely supposed Mr..
Bonamy, of whom he heard, was your
husband. Warren found him man sew
enty years old, and Mrs. Bonamy-Marl-
an, you are free"
She did not speak. She was too shaken
with the tumult that assailed her, in which
was mingled the poignancy of assured
widowhood with the relief from the bitter
doubts which had made her SO wretched.
She trembled until she seemed ready to
faiut.
"How cruelty you have suffered" he
murmured.
SIS that ALP" she said in whisper.
All Warren could tell me in the little

a beginning of what I would say to you.
| Forget that dark sorrow, Marian; let me
help you to forget. will devote my life to
making your future happy, and il you will
let me-if you will listen to me. May I
speak now?-will you listen"
"Not now, oh, not now! Let me go to
my room. Some other time. when l am
not so Notwithstanding memory" and
she burst into tears.
He left her reluctantly. He was too
tender of her to urge his own selishness
upon her ct such time.
Early next day Warren sought an in"
terview with his client buoyant at his
success and eagerly imagining her sur
prise, her gratitude, her loneliness.
To his establishment it was no surprise.
'Mr. Bristol told me last night" she
said, gently.
| "Bristol-the scoundrel!" he NUT
tered.
''He knew was very anxious"
'But it was mean, dishonorable. After
having gone so far, think l was quite
capable of completing this business"
He was very angry, indeed. But by
dint of certain soft responsiveness, by
earnest questioning and eager listening
she soon succeeded in soothing him, unit
at length all the story was told. There
was no longer any doubt left in her mind
of the idleness of the rumor that had
made her so unhappy.
An hour later, when Warren indignant
ly confronted Bristol, changed with his
utter moral humiliation, Bristol at
tempted no defense, but mado clear
breast of his intetuation, and threw him
self upon Warren's generosity.
"Don'tjudge me, Warren-I am MAJ
about her. Perhaps if had undertaken
that Western crusade you would hav
! fallen into tho same state-who knows"
II nearly had before l went" sait
Warren, grimly.
1t was Bristol's turn to be surprised.
"And now?"

p "There's more than enough for one ma
to do, them" said Bristol, heartily
"There's enough for firm. Shall it b

g first case?"
9 Warren laughed rather bitterly. "It-
9 may as we'll be-" he said.

Warren returned after six weeks abb

dusk, with breathless inquiry. "Why
did't you tell us something definite, War
hands in greeting.
"What's your great hurry, Bristol"
with complacent laugh. "Any other

"Not one. What did you learn?-for
Heavens sake don't be so secretiye."
Warren was puzzled at this vehemence.
~ am worn out Bristol" he said,
"travel-stained and unpresentable, so
shall not see Mrs. Bouamy tonight"
Bristol changed from his eager attitude
to one of facetious gayety.
"You had good luck, old boy? Found
your man alive, which leaves a divorce
case on the docket: Eh:" and he laughed
| boisterously.

rem, 'his death is assured. 1t all arose

at conclusions. Her husband is dead, as
she at first believed.
Bristol's heart beat with suffocating
thump. He felt like a coward, an migrate,
q despicable sneak, traitor to Warren,
| and yet he walked on air. He was deter
mined to go to her that very hour and tell
her all, claim her love, offer her his own,
before any ons on earth could interfere.
Warren had no conception Of what was
going OH in his friends wild heart, MOI
of his baseness toward himself, but ate 6
lcisurely supper, and then pleading
great fatigue went early to bed, to dream
perhaps, of the gentle gratitude he would
receive next day.
Bristol left him as soon as possible
and went with rapid steps to Mrs. Ster-
ling's house. Mrs, R9namy came into
