Bridgeport papers express great in the Consolidated road do not stop there.
 There is said to be some talk of enforc- ing local bylaw that would reduce the speed of these fast trains to six miles an hour within the city limits. This would force the expresses to devote an hour to the passage through Bridgeport. At that rate the inhabitants could jump on.

WATERING HORSES.

Repeating the Operation Once an Hour
Is Not Too Often.
A horse can live twenty-five days
without solid food, merely drinking
water, seventeen days without eating
or drinking and only five days when
eating solid food without drinking. An
idea prevails among horsemen that
horse should never be watered oftener
than three times day, or in twenty
four hours This is not only a mistaken
idea. says the llorseman, but brutal
practice. A horses stomach is eX-
tremely sensitive. and will suffer under
the least interference, causing
feverish condition. Feeding a horse
principally on grain and driving it five
hours without water is like giving a
man salt mackerel for dinner and not
allowing him to drink before supper
t!me-very unsatisfactory for the
man. If You know anything about the
care of horses and have any sympathy
for them, water them as they want to
drinl1--ouce an hour if possible. By
doing this you will not only be merciful
to your animals, but you will be a
benefactor 10 yourself, as they will do
more work, they will work better and
live longer If you are a skeptic and
know more about horses than anyone
else, you are positive that the forego-
ing is wrong, because you have had
horses die with watering them too
much and boldly say that the agita-
tors of frequent watering are fools in
your estimation, ana you would not do
such thing. Just reason for mo-
ment and figure out whether the animal
would have over-drunl1 and over
chilled his stomach if he had not been
allowed to become over-thirsty.
A horse is great deal like man.
Let him get overworl1ed, overstarved
or abused, particularly for the want of
sufficient drink in warm weather, and
the consequences will always be in
furious. Sensible hostlers in large
cities are awakening to the advantage
of frequent watering. Street car
horses are watered every hour, and
sometimes oftener, while they are at
work. 1t is plenty of water that sup
plies evaporation or perspiration and
keeps down the temperature.

It Costs No More Go Raise Good AMI
NAL Than Poor One.
No other one cause produces sore
shoulders so quickly as n heavy load
and n rough road, with continual jerk
ing of the neck yoke from side TO side
as the four wheels of the wagon drop
into ruts. The jerking caused by ruts
and sharp, heavy pulls is fruitful source
of strains and sprains with their accom-.
panying evils of ringbones, spavins
and curbs, especially in horses predis'
posed TO these ailments In horses of
nervous temperament, the continual
wrenching upon rough roads causes
fretting, and what is true of man
"frctting and worry pull an individual
down faster than works equally
true of a horse,
The best horse for the better roads
we hope TO have must depend upon the
use to which the horse is to be put. II
for road work entirely, there is no bet
ter horse than the American trotter.
He has the ability to get over the
ground fast, and the stamina to stay at
it long time. But for farmers, those
who will use the roads the most
horse that has more weight is required.
| Medium-sized men on an average will
do more work with greater ease than
very large or very small men, and
usually have better constitutions. II
large horses are desired they should be
active. A big horse without action is
of little use on the farm.
1t costs no more to raise good horse
| than a poor one; and poor, weak,
slow horse is dear at any price. The
extra time required by poor horse to
do inferior work, soon amounts to
| good deal, not counting the ''wear and
tear" on the patience or pride of the
man who works him. When farmers
and stoclxmen relinquish the idea that
any mare that will breed, no matter
how many ringbones, spavins or other
ailments she has, is good enough to
raise a colt; when they pay as much at
tention to selection of dam as of sire,
since it is just as important, better
horses, freer from common lameness,
that bane of horseflcsh, and more eco
nomical in every way, will result.-In-

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

Ir is not good plan to pasture the
sheep and calves together; the calves
seem to dislike to eat after the sheep.
Will it pay the average western
farmer to keep cow whose calf will
not grow into profitable beef or dairy
animal?
A FEW specialists may breed for but
ter or beef as they see fit, but the ma
jority of farmers must breed and feed
for both.
ONE calf well raised is worth two
stunted during the first years growth.
1t is not necessary, however, to force
the growth.
Tue farmer that expects to make the
feeding of cattle profitable must select
his animals with reference to their ca
pacity for taking on flesh.
THERE is a considerable difference in
the amount of feed required during
growth and to fatten at maturity differ
ent animals, even among those of the
same breed.-Live Stock Indicator.

PASTURES FOR SHEEP.
Changes Frequently Made VIII Assure the
Best Results.

Best Results.
Because the sheep will eat weeds,
sprouts and much growth that other
stock will refuse, is hardly a sufficient
reason for compelling them to live on
these alone. One of the advantages in
keeping sheep is that they are good
scavengers, and will aid materially in
keeping the pastures and meadows
clear of weeds and sprouts Sheep do
not thrive well on low or moist lands.
Dry, rolling land, well seeded to va
riety OF grasses and provided with a
shed or sufficient trees to furnish a
shade, makes the best pasture for
sheep.
The objection to pasturing cattle and
sheep together is that the sheep eat
very close to the ground, and when the
pasturage begins to get short the sheep
will be able to get their share when the
cattle will be on short rations. When
there are weeds and sprouts that it is
desired to have the sheep keep down,
allow sufficient number of stock to
keep the grass a little short, but not
enough to starve them, as it is very i'm
portant to keep the sheep in good
thrifty condition. AS with all stock
better results can be secured by divid-
ing the pastures and changing from
one to the other. Not only will the
sheep keep in better condition, but
they will keep the weeds and sprouts
down better. Sheep when eating in the
pastures will keep on the move gopd
part of the time, and will nibble at
everything that comes in their way,
and in this way they destroy lots of
weeds and sprouts that other took let
alone. Western Rural

The phylloXera requires about three
years time to destroy vineyard In
the first season the insect appears on
the rootlets which branch ont from The
main stems below the ground, but The
plant shows no sign of the destruction
that is going on beneath the surface of
the earth. In the second season the
tiny root filaments become covered With
nodules and eXcrescences and begin to
fall away and the insects desert them
for the larger roots. Toward the end
of the second season the wine grower
will probably notice that the leaves of
the plants seem faded and turn brown
earlier than is warranted by the season.
He will probably even then suspect
nothing, but will conclude that the
plants are showing the effect of autumn
somewhat earlier than usual The third
summer the vines will sprout and be
apparently healthy, but with the first
few hot days will wither and die. The
unexpected result is often great sur
prise to the grower, who, as rule, does
not know that anything is the matter
with his vines till they are actually
dying, but in wine growing as in every
thing else vigilance is the price Of sue
cess.-Chicago Mail.

NY oRANDFATAeR,s EASY CHAIR

~ furniture ricn though you may boast
Made Of woods and OF fabrics rare,
Hne household piece that prize most
Ii my grandtathers easy chair
Hes gone from this world of trial and storm
To region forever fair,
And wen see no more OF his noble form
In my grandfathers easy chair
In his favorite corner still II stands,
BY the fircside over there,
And there falls but the touch OF loving hands
On my grandfather's easy chair.
Oh, how l have shouted in childish glee,
As In fancy few through the air,
When the horse that rode was only knee
In my granGfathers easy chair
And sometimes ahead of my grandsire I'd run,
As he would to his corner repair,
And settle myself in spirit OF fun
In my grandfathers easy chair
Then he'd seize me with make believe frown
Aud toss me nloft in the air.
Yet fondiy he'd hold me as he sat himself down
In my graudfathcrs easy char.
And what tales of adventures my ears have
heard
OF lighting the wolf and the bear
AS silently drank in every word
BY my grandfather's easy chair.
How oft have noticed, when dinner was past,
The nod of his white head OF hair,
While the good old man was sleeping fast
In my grandfather's easy chair.
He'll wake no more, he has gone to his rest,
He is free from all earthly care,
And the one of my keepsakes love best
Is my grandfathcrs easy chair.
