Miss Maud Talbot Causes the Ar
rest OF Minor Sites on the Charge
of Bastardy.

A large amount of good food was put up
on the market Tuesday morning for the Ma
poleon gossips TO pick over and digest, and
two of Napoleon's well known young people
have been placed ina most unenViable posi-
ton. This was caused by Mics Maud Talbot
swearing out a warrant against Minor Sites,
charging him with bastardy. The papers
were served on Mr.. Sites as he was going to
WORK Tuesday morning, he being barber
in the employ Of Jacob Augustine.
The trial was held the same morning, at
O'Clock, before Justice of the Peace Fred.
Prints, the outcome being that Mr.. Sites
was bound over to the next term OF court
under bond of $500. which was furnished,
and he Was allowed to go his way until
Court of Common Pleas adjusts his case.
To relieve the Common Pleas docket,
and all parties concerned, a wedding would
have heen the proper thing.

Mercer County Officials Poisoned.

Much excitement was occasioned at Celina
on the 9nd by serious and mysterious case
of poisoning, which was discovered. The
victims of the dastardy plot were Sheriff
George II. Houser, Auditor S. S. Snyder,
Probate Judge s. S. Scranton and A. D..
Knox and his son Grover. In the ball of the
court house there is kept at all times bucket
containing water; this is where tho poison
was found, but fortunately medical assist
ance has placed all out of danger. Sheriff
Houser was in a serious condition, but is
easier. The water was analyzed and found
to contain large quantity of carbolic acid.
Miscreants guilty of such an outrage should
be tarred and feathered.

Waste in Road Making.

On this important theme the Baltimore
Morning Herald has this to say
Road making in the Maryland counties
is q source of constant waste. At least
$500, 900 per year is expended in building
new highways or in mending old ones, and
there is practically nothing to show for it
anywhere. Since 1883 not less than So
600, 900 have been taken from the hard
earnings of industry and put upon the pub
lie roads of the state, and there are not
more than fifty miles of first class wagon
road in Maryland as result Of that outlay.
Macadam or Telford pike can be con-
structed anywhere for $4,000 mile.
Therefore, with proper methods of road
making, $500 miles of permanent and
solid roads might have been built in the
last ten years-or triie over one hundred
miles to each county. This is not large
amount, relatively speaking, but it could
have been done without adding a cent to
taxation. Any rejecting property holder
in the counties ought to feel Inundated
and alarmed at such reckless waste of
money. In the aggregate tits a greater sum
than is spent on the whole State govern
ment, including the school fund.
This hopeless waste of revenue does not
necessarily prove Incompetence in county
government. 1t is rather the result Of ig-
norance and the pursuit of bad methods in
road making. Maryland is no worse than
other States in this particular, and the
facts above stated simply measure the need
of road reform in the commonwealth.
That the source of waste is one of
method only has been exhibited in Har-
ford county. What is known as the Oar
lington Road League of that county has
been in existence since 1887. 1t was
made up of public spirited citizens, who
formed subcommittee or council to take
charge Of the roads in part Of the Dublin
district. A supervisor was hired and set
to work to construct a single mile of road.
This was gradually increased until fifteen
miles of respectable pike have been made.
There has been no increase in taxes, no
change in assessmeRt and no reform of any
sort except to give intelligent direction to
the expenditure Of money. Instead of
waste there are fifteen miles of good road
about Darlington.
The mention of these facts indicates
what is needed in the way of road reform,
and it is sincerely to be hoped that the
Road League which is about to be organ
lied in Baltimore will busy itself in form
ulating road law which will deliver the
state from the pitiful condition in which it
is on account of its execrable dirt roads.

overfeeding the Horse with Hay.



At hayisg-time the best is put in the
horse.barn for these animals. As they do
little or no work in winter, the grain ration
is usually omitted, but care is taken to keep
their racks or managers stuffed with this
expensive hay. A horse that is good
feeder consumes more than is good for his
welfare, which makes him "pot-bellied.
When taken out for drive, the stomach,
which is small compared With stomachs of
other animals, is SO crowded with hay that
he makes sorry figure in his attempt to
travel if driven faster than walk. Look
ing back, now see where l ruined three
valuable horses by unwise feeding of hay.
Always driving arr caring for the animals
myself, every pains was taken to guard
against overheating, overlooking OF grain,
and watering when too warm yet every
one of them became hopelessly foundered
and useless, and l attribute it entirely to
overlooking them with timothy hay. Had
they been worked all the time, or even
part of the time, probably this would not
have occurred. believe it about as risky
to give horses all the hay they will eat as
to give them free access to bin of grain.
1t may not hurt as quickly, but it does
just as surely.
Liyerymen do not cram their horses with
hay 1t is usually cut and dampened, the
grain mixed with it, and such mess given
to each as experience teaches they require.
After this is eaten they may be given
very little long hay or straw to pick over,
but never are they fed all the hay they
will eat. The object is to provide them
sufficient nutriment in concentrated form,
so as not to distend their small stomachs
too much; then when . livery horse goes
out he makes his first mile as easily and
freely as any other. There is no necessity,
as with the farmers horse, first to relieve
the stomach before he can ''get gait on.
An overcrowded stomach tends to produce
laziness. When he first goes out he is dis
tressed if urged out of a walk, and soon
learns to assume slow walk as his natural
gait. And then the coat of a strictly hay
fed horse is always rough, the individual
hairs pointing outward, as though strongly
affected with electrical repulsion. The
lesson | have learned in winter horse-feed-
ing for farmers is whether they work the
team some or not any to give them two
quarts of oats night and morning and
reasonable amount of straw to pick over.
They will select the best portions, and in
doing so do not cram themselves as with
hay. | find this regimen winters them
exceedingly well. Their stomachs are
never distended too much and their coats
are always smooth and CLASSY.
