Feed for Horses.

An English authority gives expression
to the following: The heavier breeds are
more liable to collie, because they are fed
with larger quantities of food generally
of inferior quality. A horse is worked
several hours at time. brought home,
and has his manger filled with bulky
and indigestible food which he is al
lowed to est ravenously. The imper-
fectly mastieated food goes into the
stomach and intestines, whose vital en-
ergy has been impaired by overexertion.
Because horse has done harder work
than common, he requires more nutri-
ment; but, then, this should be given by
extra times of feeding, and better food,
not by increasing the volume of food at
one time.
Horses in our large towns are often
saved from collie by being allowed to
drink frequently at the public troughs
and fountains. By doing this the horse be-
comes q good judge of the quantity he
requires. If a horse comes home from a
hard journey, perspiring freely, do not
allow him to drink his fill of cold water.
Let him stand in the stable till he has
cooled somewhat and is made comfort
able. A little chilled water may begiven
and little good long hay be put into his
rack to take his attention. 1t will re-
quire thorough mastication. and will
have the effect Of preparing the stomach
for the reception of the more concentrat-
ed food which is to follow.

English Red Cap Fowls.

Just now attention is being called by
the various poultry journals to the Eng
lish Red Cap breed of fowls, shown in
the accompanying illustration, reprint
from Southern Fancier. The birds rep
resented are Buffalo Boy and Rosalie,
prize winners at the late international
fair at Buffalo, N. Y.
The Red Caps are an old English breed
of many years. They have now been
before the American public about four
years; have never enjoyed a decided
'fboom," but are gradually winning
their way into the confidence of the
American breeder. Ohio Poultry Jour
nal describes them as follows:
1.-THE distinguishing feature of the
English Red Cap as suggested is the
rose comb, which should be of good me-
dunn size, full of fancy work or spikes,
standing perfectly straight on the head,
with long straight spike behind. Of
course the comb of the cock should be
much larger than that of the hen. The
neck hackle Of the cock should be rich

We are indebted to American Bee
Journal for the illustrated description
here given for making the straw mats
and placing them on the hives. I'm
broken rye straw makes the best mats,
but the straw of other grains may be
used, as may also prairie slough grass,
etc. Stretch set of tarred twines over
a frame (see engraving No. y, and then
fasten another set at the top of the
frame for binding the punches of straw
in place. Now take handful of straw
and place it against the nails at the top
of the frame, and pass the binding
twines over the bunch of straw and un-
der the twines stretched across the
frame, and either knot them each time,
or carry them back to the nails in the
headboard, and secure them until the
next handful of straw is laid in, and so
on until the mat is completed. When
the proper length of mat is reached, Sc
cure each end by tying the two sets of
Irvine securely, then by means of a stiff,
straight edge, nailed lightly to the
frame, and broad, sharp chisel, cut the
oAOOc Vi bllO 4A1dI ONO1 diAO oAilOOIhs anu
to the exact size wanted.
Make for winter protection one mat
just the size of the pof the hive, and
lay some inch strips across the tops of
the frames, and then lay on this piece
of wire screen cloth to keep the mice
out, then lay ON top of this the mat Just
described. Then make two mats just
large enough to cover the ends of the
hive and ends of the mat on top of the
hive, and hang them on top of the hive
by twines secured to each and passing
over the mat ON top of the hive. Then
make two mats of proper size to cover
the two sides of the hive, and the mats
at the ends of the hive and on the top of
the hive secured in the same manner as
the mats at the end of the hive; then a
good board that does not leak, to cover
the whole, with suitable weight to keep
it from blowing off, and piece of Irvine
tied around the whole to prevent the
mats blowing ont and away from the
hive, completes the outfit quite perfect

In an essay read before a Nebraska
horticultural society, a member who had
pursued cherry culture with profit for
some years made the following remarks:
In planting, we prefer to set strong
and growing varieties, like the Early and
Late Richmond, twelve to fourteen feet
apart in the row, and the rows sixteen
feet apart. Trees of more dwarf habit,
like the English Morello, Ostheim, and
many of the Russian varieties, we think
need less room. Some of the Russian
cherries need no more than ten feet in the
row, and the rows twelve to fourteen feet
apart We regard it as important that
the trees should be headed within eight
cen inches or two feet from the ground;
that the heads should always be kept
low, the trunks completely shaded;
and we believe it to be of advan-
tage to have the heavy laden branches
trailing to the ground, as may be seen in
many of our trees. The expense of pick
ing the fruit is much lessened in this
way, and we believe that the trees are
healthier and longer lived. There is a
greater amount of twigs, or bearing sur
face. on the tree; and where the trees in
the row are mulched, and the space be-
tween the rows kept pulverized with a
disk pulverizer, or other suitable tools,
we believe the result will be found very
satisfactory and cherry growing profta-
bic. We plant about 227 trees per acre.
Do not delay the setting Of trees until
late in the spring. Set before the buds
have opened, and shorten in at top, SO
as to make the trees grow low and

RAISING CALVES.
Interesting Facts Presented by G. L. Flint
in His Work on Dairy Farming.

Interesting Facts Presented by G. L. Flint
in His Work on Dairy Farming.
In Galloway and other pastoral dis
tricts where the calves are allowed to
suckle, the people are SO much welded
to their own customs as to argue that
sucking is much more nutritiVe to the
calves than any other mode of feeding.
That sucking induces greater secretion
of saliva, which, by promoting digestion,
accelerates the growth and fattening of
the young animal, cannot be doubted,
but the secretion of that fluid may like
wise be promoted by placing an artificial
teat in the mouth of the calf and givin =
it the milk slowly, and at the natural
temperature In the dairy districts of
Scotland the dairy maid puts one of her
fingers into the mouth of the calf when
it is fed, which serves the purpose of a
teat, and will have nearly the same effect
as the natural teat in inducing the secre-
ton of saliva. If that or an artificial
teat of leather be used and the milk
given slowly before it is cold, the secre-
ton of saliva may be promoted to all the
extent that can be necessary.
According to the comparative expert
ments of a German agriculturist, COWS
which as calves had been allowed to
suckle their dams from two to four weeks
brought calves which weighed only from
thirty-fve to forty-eight pounds, while
others, which as calves had been allowed
to suckle from five to eight weeks,
brought calves weighing sixty to eighty
pounds. 1t is difficult to see how there
can be so great difference, if there is
any; but it may be worthy of careful OBJ
servation and experiment, and as such it
is stated in this connection. The in
creased size of the calf would be due to
the larger size to which the COW would
attain; and if as a calf she were allowed
to run with her dam i'll the pasture four
or five months, taking all the milk she
wanted, she would be kept growing on
in thriving condition. But taking
calf from the COW at four or even eight
weeks must check its growth to some ex-
tent, and this may be avoided to some
extent by feeding literally and bringing
up by hand.

Some of our most successful apiarists,
among whom may be mentioned Charles
F. Muth and Dadant & Son, both recon-
mend and use straw mats over the brood
nest in winter, to slowly pass the moist
ure of the hive and retain its heat.
These mats are similar to those used
over hotbed sash by gardeners, and are
quite simple and easily made. Bees

need protection. as our readers know.
1t has been claimed by most bee keepers
that the chaff hive is not sufficiently

ceived a backset that will put q partial
stop to shipments for awhile, and big
money has been lost in that trade re-
Gently. A telegram sent out from New
York says:
Shipments of American cattle to Eu-
rope, alive and dead, last week amount
to 10 600 head, falling off 25 per cent.
from the week before, at the loss estl-
mated at $50 head. These shipments
represent clear loss of $3.50 200 to the
exporters.
The condition of the English market
has become so bad that shippers find it
less disastrous to keep the cattle here and
lose $50 head freight space, for which
they have contracted In some instances
as far ahead as September. Then they
have ehauee of utilizing this freight
space for other purposes.
Meyer Goldsmith of this city, one of
the heaviest exporters, sent out yester-
day 504 sheep In the space which he ex-
pected to fill with cattle. He said he
would lose money on the sheep, but not
SO much as II he shipped cattle.
A sharp falling of in cattle exports
may thus be expected, IL not, indeed, a
total cessation. Never before has there
been such Decentralization among ship
