Care of Horses,

The Massachusetts Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
makes the following suggestions as
to the care of horses:
Keep your harness soft and clean,
particularly the inside of the collar
and saddle, IS the perspiration, If
allowed-to dry in, will cause irrita-
ton and produce gals.
The collar should fit closely, with
sufficient space at the bottom to
admit your hand; a collar too small
obstructs the breathing, while oae
too large will cramp and draw the
shoulders into an unnatural posi-
ton, thus obstructing the circula-
ton.
Never allow your horse to stand
on hot, fermenting manure. as this
will soften the hOois and brings on
diseases of the feet; nor permit the
litter to lie under the manger, as the
gases will faint his food and irrita 2
his lungs, as well as his eyes.
Do not keep the hay over the
stable, as the gases from the manure
and the breath of the animal make
it unwholesome.
Kindness will DO more than brutal
ity, therefore do not use harsh Ian
guage to your horse, or lash, beat
or kick him. bar in mind that he
is very intelligent and sensitive, q
willing servant and deserving o. your
kindest treatment and tloug'lt.
Remember that horses a.e made
vicious by cruel treatment; that
more horses are lame from bad
shoeing than from all other causes;
that careless application of the
whip has blinded many horses; that
moi fall from WEAKNESS than from
any ether cause, ard that no animal
should be ever struck upon the. head.

Only Allowed 1888 Wives.

In Ashantee no man is ever allowed
to see one of the Kings wives, and
should he happen through accident
to get a glimpse of one of the sacred
creatures he is forthwith put to
death. The law of that country
allows the king to have 1888 "help.
meets" and no more. These wives
live on two long streets in the city of
Coomasie, the Ashantee capital, the
quarters occupied by them being
locally known by a word signifying
"heaven."

Good Advice
From the Wilson Mirror

From the Wilson Mirror
Prepare now for the coming year a
schedule of crops. Putin everything
needed to run the farm. Raise your
own meat and bread, not only for
yourself, but for your help. Why
cannot our farmers sell their help all
the hay, straw, wheat, corn. bacon,
lard, molasses, potatoes and other
necessities right on the farm? The
homemade provisions are preferred,
and the farmer should supply them,
and not make it necessary to run to
town for a peck of meal or a side of
bacon every few days.
The farmer whose foresight enables
him thus to anticipate the needs of
his family and his help is in a posi-
ton to produce his crops certainly
with less loss OF time, to say nothing
Of saving ready cash he must needs
supply bis help to buy with.
