is that the bottom may fall down at the
proper moment and discharge the load
without rehandling it. The bolt is
drawn by a raised tie while the car is
being pushed along. Starting at the
left-hand side we will suppose the Car
to be pushed toward the right-hand end
of the track shown in Fig. 5. On ap-
preaching the rollers mentioned we see
the raised tie.
the car passes over this tie with the
exception of the last end, where a bolt
head hangs down, and this is caught by
an iron in the tie and drawn back. The
iron in the raised tie which draws this
bolt is four inches wide, three-fourths
of an inch thick and eighteen inches
long. 1t is fitted in the raised tie edge
wise, and has coiled spring under each
end of it. This allows the knob on the
bolt to pass over.
The bolt is fastened to the bottom
with staples through which it slides.
Released, the bolt leaves the bottom
free to drop down, but this is prevented
by the rollers over which it must pass
until the open space at the right of the
rollers is reached, when it falls and the
load follows it. Pushing the car on a
little further, the bottom comes in con-
tact with another tie and it is raised in
place, when the bolt is pulled forward
and the car can be run back for another
load

Newspapers and packages are wrapped
In the f1imsiest paper that is made
abroad, guess, and fastened often with
sealing wax. The packages are tossed
into mail bags on the other side, and
partly in consequence of friction and
moisture from the air the wax is broken
and the wrappers are torn of. On the
arrival of the mail bags in the New
York pOst-ofiice, nearly nine-tenths of
the newspapers are without superscrip-
tons.
Stronger and thicker paper should be
used for wrappers, and mucilage is a
better gum than sealing wax. With
Americans there is little fault to find
In this respect. The best eway. how
ever, to insure newspaper reaching its
destination is to put the superscription
on the newspaper itself as we'll as on the
wrapper. In fact. this course has been
recommended by the International POST
al Congress, and the English, Scotch and
Irish often comply with the rule. The
French, German and Russian mails are

and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell

has recently sent two young men here,
neither of whom has ever had expert
ence in Washington life, but they are
doing exceedingly we'll. Unlike the
average new men on the Row, they have
not come here to show the old hands how
to attend to business.
1t very frequently happens on the
Row that some bright, young reporter
somes here, and Immediately sets him
self up as an authority from his own
section; but very speedily they learn
that each one of these old correspond
ents has very fair set of brains himself,
and they simmer down. The St. Louis

Moore. He is one of the brainiest,
jolliest, roundest, plumpest, most like
able fellows in the world. He knows
news, too, when he sees it, and dresses
It up in altisonant superlatives with
gaudy verbal adornments. Colonel L.

une, and is one of the oldest news

elegant Southern gentleman, dignifed,

Sun building is popular place ON the

north, is brick which has long been
unoccupied. Mr.. Willard, itsproprietor,

FODDER FOR HORSES.
An Undue Prejudice Against TIA Horse
mans Views.

An Undue Prejudice Against It-A Horse
mans Views.
There seems to be quite difference
of opinion among horsemen as to the
value of corn fodder as food for horses.
A leading farm paper recently cautioned
its readers against feeding horses on
corn-stalks, stating that they would
make the horses coats rough. Mr.. C.
w. Williams, the breeder and trainer of
Axtell, says that his wonderful colt had
little besides corn-stalks for rough fod-
der during nearly two winters. He says
he considers corn-stalks the best rough
fodder he can get for colts. The writer
once worked for farmer who never cnt
any hay. His cattle and horses never
had any fodder but cured corn-stalks.
The animals always looked we'll and the
horses did their full share of work.
The writer now has two horses that
have very little to do and are not heavily
fed.
while the other runs down if fed on
stalks without hay. 1t is an old horse
aud can not handle the stalks as we'll as
a younger horse would. We find that
this prejudice against corn-stalks for
horses is quite common among class
of farmers. Except in the case of old
horses with poor teeth, we do not think
the prejudice is just. In fact it seems
reasonable that moderate supply of
well-cured stalks will prove beneficial
to horse in winter, and even with old
horses if the stalks could be cut and
moistened with hot water they would
prove valuable. A good deal of the OBJ
lection to stalks for horses may be traced
to the fact that the grain of the corn is
fed with the stalks. This makes an s'ill-
balanced" ration. When stalks are fed
give oats and wheat-bran.
