HORSE FEEDING.
A Rational Method of Feeding Our
Equine Friends.

A Rational Method of Feeding Our
Equine Friends.
Prof. Leyer,of Paris, asks whatucon-
;titutes the basis for the rational feed
ing of a horse? He compares the ami
NAL machinery to a locomotive. In a
sense this is true, only the 'rations or
fuel which serve to generate vitality or
force in the horse and in the machine
differ in one respect--that food repairs
muscles, while the combustibles or ra-
tions for the engine do not repair the
machinery. OF the five groups of prin-
ciples which constitute nutrition, two,
mineral and water, may be laid aside;
the other three, albumens, fats and
hydrates of carbon sugar, starch, etc,
are those that bring energy, that is
force and heat or combustion to stimu-
late the organs to produce chat blood
whose ultimate output is the develop
ment of strength of force, says writer
in Field and Farm. ,.-....
In the living motor, the organs that
most ithperiously require a nutritive
reparation are the immediate agents of
all mechanical effortlathe muscles--an
ii is the tissue of the latter which is
next to exclusively composed of nj
trogenous substances. Hence, the food
known to be rich in nitrogen has been
ever selected to impart vigor and en-
durance to the horse Now such food
is not only costly, but If abused pre-
disposes the animal to blood strokes.
A relative nutritive ration is that
where the azotized is to the non-azotized
nutritive principles rs one to six. One
part of food or combustible serves to
keep the energy of the animal machine
under pressure, and the other to ami
mate the heart pulse by keeping up the
circulation of the blood through the
processes of respiration and digestion.
Thus the food ration produces exter-
nal work or force and internal action
or vitality. From experiments made by
the bus and cab companies of Paris,
five-tenths of the total ration is con-
suned in this external action. Wolff,
the eminent German scientist, has been
ypermentng since 1S79-and is still
on the nutritive power of rations. He
finds that horse weighing half a ton
win require daily eighteen pounds of
oats and sixteen pounds of hay straw
in equal proportions to meet the de-
mands of the system for nutritive prin-
cpals Bearing in mind that it is not
| what is eaten which nourishes, but
| what is digested, only eighty per cent
OF the nutritive principals of the oats,
sixty per cent. of the hay and forty-five
per cent of the straw are assimilated
The more work exacted from horse
the more literally it ought to be fed,
and the more rapid its movements the
greater period to be given for repose.

HERE AND THERE.

The Bantam is little thing, but
when it comes to weight of eggs layed
in year in proportion to cost, it can fly
on high fence and make faces at any
of the big breeds.
Cover half peck of lime with cold
water and when it Stakes dilute to the
consistency of thin cream and stir in a
small cupful of salt and you will have a
good whitewash for outside work.
Giving the COWS little grain at
night, when they come to the barn,
makes it very sure thing that they
will be at the pasture bars all ready to
come home at the usual time, and it in
creases the quantity and improves the
quality of the milk at small cost.
Judging from the statements made
in the papers with reference to the crop
of clover seed being saved this season,
if the farmers do not make money by
it they will at least save many thou
sands of,dollars that have been going
north annually for seed
The wool and manure pay. for the
keep of a sheep, as many floek-masters
attest, and the lambs are al profit
What other class of stock will show as
large a per cent. of profits? Every
farmer can keep ten sheep, and most of
them from fifty to a hundred.
1T is. not always convenient to de-
tach the seed from the sunflower heads
after they are dry, and this fact makes
the use of sunflower seed, rs food for
poultry, Objectionable to some, there
being no supplement- that will shell"
the seed from the heads. The better
plan is to cut the heads mp with spade
into small pieces, and allow the hens TO
pick the seed off for themselves.
Here is statement, published as a
fact, worth reflection by pasturing
farmers: Seventy-fve acres of good
meadow land had given annually for
some years about one hundred and
thirty tons of fine hay. Then, out Of
sympathy for tenant, whose luck had
been bad, the owner allowed him to
pasture twenty-five cows on it during
one autumn. The next year it only
gave sixty tons of hay, and never at
tanned the former yield until reseeded.
The owners benevolence cost him more
than the whole herd of cows was worth

EDUCATING OUR DAUGHTERS.
A Training For Girls That VIII Never
Fail In It's Usefulness.


How to educate our daughters is
problem with which we have always TO
Hattie. To establish an economical
fashion is well, only let it be one of pre-
vention in preference to one of cure.
To rear girl in absolute dependence,
good for nothing selfish in her aims
and exacting in her demands, is sin
against the daughter and against So
ciety. To begin at her birth to econ
omize and retrench in every depart
ment for the accumulation of money,
that this monstrous perversion of her
life may be accomplished and main
tanned, is grotesque and heathenish,
Girls thus trained will fail of attain
ing high order of womanhood. Their
aim will be petty, their ideals low, and
nothing very excellent can be expected
OF them in wifehood or motherhood.
While we carefully guard whatever is
womanly in our daughters, let them be
trained to moreaof, fiber aud firm ness.
Educate them to self-denial, if pecu-
.niary eircums' sdemand it, and not
to self.indulgence. Ac .ustom them to
be of service in the household, to re.
gard economy as, praiseworthy AMI
evenheroic, and to add to all their other
accomplishments practical knowledge
of work and the possession of some in
dustry by which they can support
themselves. Such girls when portion
less, will carry to their husbands
dowries in themselves. Detroit Free

Easy Going EnGIishwomen.

o. The Englishwoman, according to a

consequence is that she looks young at
fifty. She undertakes no more than

and regards health as the prime factor
Of lie, to lie looked after before every

and takes nap during the day at that
She arranges her days work in. the
most systematic manner, and her little

vacant hours-they are for rest She
eats heartily, but the most digestible
food. In the most modest home, no
matter how little there may be on the
table, there is nothing but the best.
She would rather have a mouthful of
good food and go partly hungry than
eat whole meal of cheaper things.
She is true economist, regulates her

A SCARE IN SPAIN.
Foolhardy scheme of speculators-Try &c
Depress Securities.


BARCELONA, August 3.-Great excite
ment was caused in this city last night
by what was for time believed to be a
revolutionary movement on the part Of
the Republicans, but which subsequent
ly proved to be a desperate attempt
upon the part of certain spectators on
the Bourse to bring about a decline in
the prices Of the securities dealt in upon
the Exchange.
For fOolhardy daring the scheme has
never been equalled by desperate specu-
lators in this or any other country.
The troops who garrison this city were
in their barracks, and the usual guards
were patrolling their houses, when a
band Of $50 men, some of whom were
armed with rifles, while others carried
revolvers in their hands, cautiously APP
preached the buildings and attempted
to effect a surprise on the guards, 1t be-
ing their intention to force their way
into the barracks. The sentries were
vigilant, however, and soon discovered
the approach of the men.
The guards ordered the band to halt
and give the c0untersign. To do the
latter was, } course, an impossibility,
and the men made rush upon the SEN
tries, trusting that in the confusion
which would follow they would be able
to force their way into the barracks. AS
they ran towards the sentries they de-
liyered volley from their weapons, and
some OF the guards fell to the ground,
having been struck by the bullets OF the
aggreSSors. The other sentries, how
ever, stood their ground and answered
the vOlley with fuSillade from their
rifles.
For a short time regular battle was
fought and a number on both sides were
wounded. In the meantime the officers
stationed at the barracks summoned the
troops to arms and In very short time
the attacking party found themselves
surrounded. Resistance was useless
and the whole party were placed under
arrest. They will be tried by court
martial and the chances are that they
will all be shot.

LONDON, Aug, 5.-The secret is out
as to the Prince of Naples, and the
upper set are agog about it. 1t is a
delicate subject, but it fully accounts
for the snubbing the Prince has re-
ceived from the Princess Marguerite,
Of Prussia, and the daughters of the
Prince Of Wales. The young man has

itate to tell the Prince why they avoid
him, but if he ever learns the truth 1t
will be in England, where there is not
so much dread of royal displeasure as on
the continent. 1t is said that Maud pos
itively refused to meet Naples again az
ter the first introductionS, and that
when Papa Wales was curious as to her
apparent discourtesy, she revealed the
reason, the truth of which he himself
took occasion to verify. Naples has
since had to confne his attentions to
the young Princess Alice, Of Albany,
who is troubled with severe cold. At
least such is the talk Of the court gos-
sips.
