How to Feed Horses.

All horsemen will be interested in the
reports of a feeding trial with horses
which has been carried out by Prof j.
w. Sanborn. Horsemen have generally
been in the habit of believing that when
grain, especially meal and more especial
ly such meal as cornmeal, is fed to horses
alone OF mixed with hay, it tends to
form a compact mass in the stomach and
produce indigestion. Two lots of horses
were fed nearly three months, one with
hay and grain mixed, the other with hay
and grain separately. At the end Of this
period the food was reversed. and the
horses We're fed some two months more.
The division of hay and grain into separ-
ate feeds gave better results than the mix
ed hay and grain feeds, on which the
horses did not maintain their weight so
well. Prof. Sanborn accounted for this
by the fact that the timothy hay when
cut fine with its sharp, solid ends irritated
and made sore the mouths of the horses,
and possibly induced too rapid eating.
and when the hay and grain were moist
the animals would be likely to eat more
rapidly than when fed dry In another
trial, which covered feeding cut against
whole hay to horses. the result was de-
ciSively III favor of cut hay. The differ
ence in weight of the horses as 115
pounds III favor of cut clover for the four
months and a half of the test. Glover
hay and uceln, unlike timothy hay, do
not present sharp, solid cutting edges.

Machinery in Shoemaking.

The chief tools of the shoemaker then
consisted of his hammer, his awl, his lap
stone. his knives, and his harness for
''setting up his boots and shoes. The
essentials of shoe are the upper. the
sole, the counter or sole stitfening, and
the heel. These parts are again subdivid-
ed into the ''vamp' for covering the front
of the foot, the large and small quarters
for encircling the ankles, the button piece,
etc The work of the shoemaker is to
prepare and close these various parts of
the upper and the Innings together, to
bring them into the desired shape to fast
en- them to the sole which has been previ-
ously cut, to attach the heel, and then to
give the various parts the desired fin
ish and style. These processes indicate
the line along which machinery had to be
applied. All the operations have been
subdivided to the minutest detail and in
the performance of all of them machines
more or less satisfactory in their work
| ings--have been devised. The parts of
the uppers are now sewed together by ma
chinery, and they are pegged, sewed, or
screwed to the sole by machinery Instead
of the lapstone and the hammer for con-
densing the leather are now swiftly re-
volving rollers, and instead of the patterns
for cutting out the soles are dies or sole
f, shaped knives set in machines. From

Eston Randolph, city solicitor, filed Il
u reply in tho clerks Office yesterday IN
behalf OF tho city to the complaint
made by w. A. Pedigo, GeorgesCarr and
othors asking that the city be restrained
from omptying it's sewers into Tinker
creek. Messrs. Watts and Robertson
are associate counsel for the city. The
reply alleges that Tinker creek has not
become polluted with the sewers which
now empty its contents into it and that
no obnoxious gases or WHOLESOME
smells come from the creek. It is also
claimed that only rhe sewage of 1000
is emptied in the creek.
The respondent further denies that
the city carts are emptied into said
creek and If such is the case it will be
stopped. The respondent believes that
there are number of slaughter houses
situated on the crock, and the contents
of tho animals thrown into said creek.
and this may polluto tho water.
The answer charges that mono or the
parties are properly holders upon tho
banks of said creek and so far as the
proceedings against it is concerned, ii is
of little consequence to them. 1t further
denies that'if the sewer is completed
that it will not injure the health of the
com plainRntS.
