The Ice WatorHahit

The ice water drinker is just az much
OF a 'fend" as the morphine eater. In
many cases the habit of the former is
just as strong as that of the latter and
just as hard to break. 1t has been fire
1uently demonstrated that the drinking
OF ice water IS an acquired habit and
not one that comes naturally. Give. an
infant ice water, and you will notice by
its action that the drink is very dis
tasteful. 1t usually has the same effect
upon an Indian or upon any person not
accustomed to it. Besides it is very un.
healthy, and any person who can avoid
drinking ice water should do so.-CM

The natives of Lucca, in Italy, assert
that the scorpion will destroy itself il
exposed to sudden light, and writer
In Nature said that his informant and
her friends, while residing during the
summer months at the baths of Lucca,
were much annoyed by the intrusion Of
small black scorpions into the house
and their being secreted among the bed
clothes, in shoes and in other articles OF
dress; that they soon became adopts in
catching the scorpions and disposing of
them in the manner suggested. ''This
consisted in combining the animal under
an inverted drinking glass or tumbler
below which a card was inserted when
the capture was made and then waiting
till dark, suddenly bringing the light of
a candle near to the glass in which the
animal was confined. No sooner was
this done than the scorpion invariably
showed signs of great excitement, run
ming round and round the interior Of
the tumbler with reckless velocity for
number of times.
This state having lasted for minute
or more, the animal suddenly became
quiet, and turning its tail, or the hinder
part of its body, over its back, brought
its recurved sting down upon the mid
die of the head, and piercing it forcibly
in few seconds became quite motion

THE FARMING WORLD.
THE FARM HORSES.


Why They Should Have the Best of Care
at All Seasons.
How much of our success n farming
is due to the long suffering labors Of
our patient farm horses. Hence, 1t is
of primary Importance that we handle
and care for them in the wisest man
ner, both from humane standpoint,
and from a mercenary one as well, as
we wish to extend their period of use
fulness as long as possible, and there
by get as much work out of them as
can be obtained. With good feed,
regularly supplied, horses will stand
steady work through the entire day
and yet keep in good condition, pro-
viding they are not worried by sense
less, thoughtless driver.
In the first place the farm horses
should have comfortable commodious
stables that are cool, airy and we'll
ventilated. Close, narrow stalls are
an abomination. Every hard-worling
horse should at least be allowed good
wide box stall in which he can stretch
out his legs, and rest in comfort. OF
course comfortable bedding should be
supplied. Not so heavy bedding is
needed now as in winter, but thin
layer of sawdust, dry loan, or straw
is needed to permit an animal to lie
easy, as well as to keep him clean. To
keep air of stables sweet and whole
some, sprinkle about a little land
plaster occasionally.
The hardworking horse must have
10 Ec
for horses, but they are somewhat ex-
pensive, and for slow-working farm
teams, corn and bran may profitably
be compounded with the oats. An eX-
cellent ration consists of one-third
each, of cracked corn, bran and oats
Of this combination, the farm horse
may receive twelve quarts per day, or
four quarts morning, noon and night.
1t is a mistake to work an animal all
day, and then turn him out very hun
CRY to pasture by the roadside, to get
his living. Thus the poor beast must
work both night and day. BY all
means feed the grain ration first, with
little good hay or cut grass; then If
cool pasture is available, the ami
NAL may be turned loose to rest in the
/
open air.
Regular, thorough grooming, and
well-oiled, properly fitting harnesses
are further items upon which the good
condition of the farm team depends
Grooming is the equivalent of Ger
tain quantity of grain, and is it not
reasonable that a horse whose skin is
kept open, and the pores unclogged
should be more health an vigorous anC
capable of performing more work thar
one that received no attention in thi:
direction?
Then there is no question but wha
harness that is plant and supple
from regular applications of oil, i!
found to last longer and bear les!
heavily upon the horses than one tha+
is hard and stiff through neglect. 4
well-oiled harness means less chafng
fewer gals and sores. In conclusion
it may be repeated, that our farm
horses deserve all the kindness ant
good care that can be given them--M
