When it can be done it il better to
water horse hslf an hour before feed
ing, rather than after.
Too much feed is as bad for the health
and thrift of horses as too little.
Horses should lie turned out into the
lots for exercise every pleasant day.
One-third each of corn. oats and barley
ground together makes a good winter
ration.
Careful grooming is as necessary dur
ing the winter as in the summer
Keeping the horses heels and legs
clean in winter j. the best preventive for
scratches.
Standing in wet manure tends to make
the feet Of the horses tender, and should
always be avoided.
Change the feed often enough to keep
the horses with a good appetite; they
will thrive better on less feed.
If you raise the right kind Of horses
the buyer viii come after them; If the
wrong kind you viii have to hunt up q
buyer.
A small quantity Of oilmeal added to
the horses meal during the winter win
aid materially to keep them in good
healthy condition. The best plan l. to
mix it with little wheat bran.
Colts will make better growth and
development if they are given light
feed of ground oats every day. Oats
are one of the best foods for the deyel-
opment of bone and muscle.
Brood mares can do enough work To
pay for their keep. and BY mating to q
good sire will bring good colts. which
will be clear profit. Republic.

The complaint j. often heard that
the phosphates do not produce the effects
upon crops that were realized from their
early use, and the conclusion that the
phosphate manures have degenerated
in quality is drawn from this assump-
ton OF facts. The facts as laid down
in The Florida Dispatch are: /. That the
phosphate compounds are Of higher
grade than those sold fifteen years ago.
q That their effect is equally marked
upon lands to which none has been pre-
viously applied 3. Lands to which re-
peated liberal applications have been
made contain enough Of the unappropri-
ated previous applications to supply the
needs of the crops.
This last is true of soils which contain
enough clay to prevent injurious leach
ing We infer, then. that phosphates
applied to clay soils, or sandy soils with
good clay subsoils, are held until used by
plants, or at least the larger part OF
them. On such soils. therefore, heavy
annual applications are not wastefuI
On sandy soils, without clay foundation.
however. heavy applications are not ad-
visable, since that not appropriated by
the crops to which it is applied may
leach beyond the reach of the roots of
cultivated plants

do You see that man on the other
side Of the street, said friend who j:
employed in d downtown bank, while
we were walking leisurely up Broadway
one evening last week.
l glanced at the man to whom my
friend referred. Hes detective" hi
continued, ''and lie is following us-ol
rather me. You seem surprised. but il
is fact that every bank in this city ha:
one or two and sometimes three private
detectives whose sole duty is to keeI
track Of the doings Of employees. II
seems to be my turn to be followed now
as this man has been dogging me since
yesterday The watch will continue fol
several days longer. and after reporting
to the bank he win be assigned to follow
some one else.
''Not long ago one of our expert book
keepers sent word to the bank that he
was i'll and could not come to the Office,
but the same day his resignation was re
quested. The fact is, he had spent the
night before in dissipation, and the bank,
having been informed Of this by its de-
tectivc, his dismissal followed.
Being logged about like criminal is
not pleasant. But what can we do.
When protestations are made against ii
the bank officials assure us that we are
mistaken. that they do not hire men to
watch us. OF course you can't expect
them to admit it, but every bank clerk
can tell you that such is the case. New

.odd Tom.


Old Tom Welt had q habit of doing
queer and unexpected things, and thus
came TO be known throughout the region
in which he lived as "Odd Tom" Some
times his oddity appeared in some pecu.
iarity Of dress, as when he wore his coat
wrong side ont, because. as be said, he
had '-got tired Of the looks Of the right
side" One day Tom went to his next
neighbor, Zebah Green, to hire his horse
for the day
"What dye want i'm for.~ was Zebah's
inquiry
..Ch, jest to go down to the village to
do some marketin'." was the answer.
'.P'raps might so on afterward as fur
as job Stones, n look at his oxen"
"Wal, l don't want ye to have i'm, y
replied zebah, referring to the horse.
''but We may, jest ter 'commodate We, ii
ye won't 90 no futher'n jest to the vii
lage-ye know that's most ten mile
why, Of course not, said Tom, ''noi
onless you're willin'."
oval. then, take i'm, but don't re
drive him no fn'ther'n the village, or I'll
never let ye nave MN ag1n.
So Tom harnessed the old horse and
started for market. As he passed Ze-
bah's house on his way he heard. family
waited from his neighbor, who stood ir
the barn door, Be sure ye don't go nc
fu'ther'n jest to the village.T
Toward night Tom was seen, laden
with bundles, coming slowly up the
road from the village-on foot. Out
rushed Zebah, open mouthed.
What ye done with old Bill?" he cried.
'Wal," answered Tom, with the ut
most GOODNESS, ''ye seemed so ALFRED

OF INTEREST TO BEeKEEPeRs.
Prominent ApIarists' Opinions on the
Spacing OF the Combs


Spacing Of the Combs.
Numbered with other interesting uues-
tions discussed at the last meeting Of the
International Beekeepers' association was
the much vexed one Of how far to space
combs. Consideration was first given to
the natural space between combs. While
some of the'members present were of the
opinion that the bees followed no rule In
spacing the combs, the majority appeared
to hold that the preference Of bees in a
natural state was one and half inches.
Ernest r.. Root made the statement
that the average found in nature was
one and half inches for brood and sur
plus combs when taken together. His
observation was that naturally built
combs are spaced all the way from one
and three-eighths to two and a half
inches, but he believed that bees in a
natural state preferred one and half
inches. He also believed the bees would
put more brood and less honey in the
brood nest if they were only one and
three-eightns inches apart.
William Lyon, Of Burlington, La, had
found, as the result Of considerable e.
perimenting in the matter, that it il d
good plan at the opening Of the season
TO move the frames closer together, as
near as one and fve-sixteenths from cen
ter to center, to prevent the storing of
too much honey in the brood chamber.
He found that this narrowing up of the
space would drive the bees into the sec
tions 5i;tter than anything he had ever
tried. lie moves his frames together
every spring, and moves them apart
again III the fall, 80 that the combs get
sufficient honey for winter stores, and
the bees get more room between the
brood combs to cluster He attributes
his success in getting bees into the sec
tions to this method.
A. n. Draper and DIR. Mascn reported
success with spacing the comb one and
one-fourth inches from center to center.
This was generally considered as being
too close. Mr. L. G. Axte1l favored one
and three-eighths, asdid also 3. Taylor
and some others.
a. J. Root expressed the opinion that
one and one-fourtA inches apart does
not give sufficient room He did not
believe the bees were 1t ease in SO short
q space.
J. NJ. Hamburg said that what the
beekeeper wants to know is how to pro-
duce the most honey. As one and half
inches gives better space for winter,
owing to its affording more room for the
bees TO place their honey and to cluster,
he considered that space the bert for
practical 5eekeepers.

Great as have been some ren who died

Still there are men whose longevity

Horses in Dark Stables.

1t is suggested that the sight of horses
Is injured BY keeping the animals in
dark stables, and thus when the harness
il put on them, and they are suddenly
brought out to the light, the pupils Of
the eyes are suddenly and painfully con
tracted, and a repetition Of such treat
1nent is very injurious. Owners Of horses
who would resist melting and vending
the light and air to themselves should
not impose on their faithful horses. 1t
is very easy to have well lighted and
well ventilated stables.
