SOME ADVICE TO DRIVERS.

A driver gave his horse six quarts of
oats about two hours earlier than he
was usually fed. The harness was
being put on while the horse was feed
ing. The driver managed to get his
breakfast in the meantime. Shortly
everything was in readiness and the
horse was started on long drive. The
driver urged the animal with the whip
At the end of thirty miles the horse
began to ignore that instrument. He
went slower and slower finally he fell
dead. Post morton examination
revealed the fact that the oats had not
been digested. The lining of the
stomach gave evidence of having been
Ill a high state of irritation. 1t was
plain that the horses previous ac-
emulation of nerve power had been
largely exhausted in defending the
terrible irritation set up by the sharp
points of the undigested oats. Had the
horse been permitted to stand, or lie
down for an hour after feeding he
would have prepared not only re-
serve of material to sustain himself,
but the amount of nourishing material
accumulated would have helped him to
endure his exhaustive journey. Time
is required for the digestion of food
before beginning q long muscular
strain. 1t must also seem clear that
when the effort at hard labor ends,
time should be given for rest be ore

A Rabbit-Hunting Cat.

Fish and Game Warden George
Farmer, of New Castle, is just now
wrestling with difficult problem, as
to whether it is his duty to arrest Will
lam G. Robinson, the confectioner.
Mr.. Robinson has large cat, which
came directly from Madagascar Island.
Like the cats there it has no tail, and
when it runs it resembles O rabbit. Its
owner is hunter, and the cat, named
ARGUS, renders valuable assistance in
catching rabbits. The cat can crawl
into almost any crevice or burrow that
will hold a rabbit. 1t then drives
them out, and in the race that follows
is always winner.
One day this winter the cat was sue
cessful in catching 40 less than nine
teen rabbits. Game Warden Farmer
is trying to find law that will pre-
vent Robinson using the cat for hunt
ing purposes, as there is law against
ferrets. A man named Brown, in
Plaingrove Township, this county, has
a big gray squirrel which he has
trained to hunt and kill rabbits, but
in the case of ARGUS no training was

There is way of making wire
fence, however, that is free from the
objections that have been brought
against the others. Plain, smooth
galvanized wire, No. 10 or No. II, may
be stretched tightly, and fastened to
wooden posts, with a single six-inch
board at the top. Instead of the board
a common "two by four" spiked to the
posts may be used. From five to seven
wires are needed. according to what it
is desired to fence against. The lat
ter number put four inches apart near
the ground, and farther apart toward
the top of the post will keep hogs,
cattle, sheep or horses within the in
closure The railing or board at the
top is often used on barbed wire fences,
as the animals can see it more plainly
than they can the wire alone, and
there is less danger of their running
against it. Wire fences of any kind
should be thoroughly braced and very
tightly stretched, or they will soon
sag and get out of shape. New York

FARM FENCES.

The growing scarcity of timber in
some parts of the country, and its en-
tire absence in others, MAKE the fence
question more serious one year by
year. Only in the newly settled
heavy-timbered land do we now see
rails split for fences. Wire in some
form is almost universally used for
this purpose. The woven wire fenc-
ing which is made i'll various widths
answers every purpose of a fence, but
it is too expensive for general use.
Wire and picket fencing does very
well, but it is liable to be broken by
unruly animals, and once a rent is
started it is soon of little use to turn
stock. Barbed wire, which composed
the original wire fences of the West,
is cruel, and many horse has been

WASTE OF GOOD FODDER.

An enormous quantity of corn fodder
is grown each year, but not one-third
of its feeding value is procured.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of
stalks are allowed to stand in the
fields until December or January until
the grain is husked, and then the
cattle are turned in the field to get
what they can. Usually they find
only blades whipped off by the wind
and blown away, and the stalks bent
and the upper part-the best portion
ruined, and even the husks weather
beaten SO as to be of little value
Such feed as remains is of poor quality
The greater part of it is rotting on
the ground, There is hardly better
or cheaper stock feed than corn fodder,
yet most farmers treat it as though it
had little or no value Farmer Guide.
