Feeding Horses.

An English veterinarysnrgeon recon-
mends that those who have charge of
horses, especially farm horses, should
be taught that the stomach Of a horse
is not like the rumen of q COW, n mere
receptacle for food, butan essential or
gan of digestion of limited capacity,
which does not need te.be cramme1 In
order to perform its proper functions,
and that it cannot be so treated without
danger to the animal:sthat the teeth of
the horse are provided for the purpose
of masticating the food, and that the
food which does not require masticatior
should be sparingly, III ever, used He
further recommends that no horse be
put 10 work Immediately after a full
meal. and where a husse has done q
heavy days work it should be allowed
to stand in the stable until it is COO
and comfortable before being fed. A
little water may be given, aud if a little
good hay be put into the rack it will
occupy his attention, and besides re-
curing proper mastication will further
have the effect to slightly stimulate the
stomach to secretion, and prepare It fo1
the reception of the feed which is tc
follow. Should q horse require more
TODD than usual to supply the estrs
waste CT tissues caused by hard work
give thy all means, bullet it be in ex-
cess in its albuminoids, and let the
horse be fed ottener and not i'll increased
quantities ut q time.

IT 1t was not for this class of men a So

II those who have young horses to
train would be careful to putthem nthe
hands of men who do not make exces-
sive use of the whip, much abuse of
them through their lifetime would be
avoided. A horse is naturally a very
excitable animal, and the more quiet b.

an average of 2.41 per cent. of fat in the
first half and 4.2S in the last. In other
words, the percentage of fat in the milk
last drawn was nearly SO (43.G) per cent.
greater than in the first half. The but
ter value of the second half of the milk
ing therefore appears to be 1876 per
cent. greater than the value of the first
half of the anne milking.
By microscopical examinations we
learn that the character of the fat glon-
ules, as we'll as the proportion of fat,
affects the value Of the milk for butter
making. In orderto obtain a more Gem
plete idea of the results of dividing
| samples of the mornings milk of a der
sew III q Holstein COW, both full
blooded, were divided, and the fat
%globules of each part examined micro
scopically. The globules of the second
half of the milking were in general
larger and more homogeneous than
those of the last half. Among the con
illusions are the following:
1. Since the amount of fat can differ
first and Inst drawn parts of the. milk
dlringa single day, there seems to be
very great economy in taking the first
part Of the milk for family use.
2. When feeding calves it is quite
sufficient to give them milk from the
first part drawn, and to supply the
further fat necessary for keeping up thu
nutritive ratio by using the cheaper fa'
in the meal of the o. containing seeds
of grains.
3. If we can obtain milk with a nor
homogeneous size of fat %globules, tn
latter will all rise in the same time; eh'
ripening of the cream before churnini
will be more even, and the time re
' quired for this ripening more easil

Ite,nx On Housework.

Good housekeeping consists in oen-
tinnal care for small things, which IN
themselves are nothing, but in the total
mala up the comfort of home life. 1t
is a simple matter to see that all the
house stores are ION hand, that each
matchbox about the premises is TILED,
that every room has a convenient reoep-
tac'a for matches. Yet the neglect OF
SO doing may ca4se some one, hunting
in the dark for q match, an enormous
amount of annoyance. A good supply
of nice brown papers laid away care
fully, and a bag or box containing diff
ferent kinds of tHyine, cost a house
keeper nothing, as they may be saved
frompparcels; yet such a habit will find
ready appreciationswhen some n is In

an old newspaper for UGH a purpose.
There are SO many good uses that old
newspapers can be put to, that brown
papersghould be always kept on band to
wrap up parcels. There is nothing bet
ter than old newspapers under a carpet

The Los, of Chicks.

NV INV ~ hS
There are but few farmers that know
how many chicks they lose IN a year.
They set every hen that desires to hatch,
a large number OF chicks come cut and
they are carefully attended to; but later
in the season when the farmer begins to
inform himself regarding the number on
hand, he is surprised to find q large
majority missing. Gone-the hawks,
rats, crows, snakes and family cat have
decimated them to a very few. Chicks
should be raised on business principles.
They should be SO managed that the
farmer knows how many aTe Matched
and if a single one is missing, he shouLs
at once Investigate the cause and Ell

Statement About Russia.

A London Times correspondent writes
from st. Petersburg that the marvellous
statements about Russia which now rencn
England from Au.tria are to be received
with great caution. As to the reported in-
crease, lie savs, of c!audestire presses, Sc
cret pamphlets and ssditious proclnme-
tions, there is nothing like the activity in
this respect of former years. The most
widely circulated secret manuscript (for it
is not allowed to be printed) is Count Toll
stoi's new work called The Kreutzer So
nata," and it Is so fearfully realistic and
coarse that it would have to be considera-
bly, modified in translation. before beina
, published, even abroad.
