himself
The horse. like the human being, re-
quireS an appetite to eat and stomach
to assimilate food. A great deal de-
ponds on the way the horse is treated.
There is no rule to go by I'm the stable
for the care of horses or for the amount
of food to be fed. Much depends on the
size. disposition and amount of work to
be done. l believe that one OF the most
frequent causes of disability, feeblenesS
and weakness in horses is caused by
overlooking.
Too much grain, hay. coarse feed, etc,
fed the animal whether at work or not,
is as a rule injurious. Perhaps good
rule TO apply is to feed the horse
per cent. of his weight in oats and
hay. AS the horse has a small stomach
he should be fed often. A friend mas
said that he has watched a horse fed
for twenty out of twenty-four hours IN
an ordinary pasture. When left TO him.
self he walks about munching and eat
ing about all the time. Unlike the
human being. the horse has small
stomach and no gall sack. Because OF
the lack of the latter organ quick di-
gestion follows. and for the former
reason but q small amount Of food
should be fed at a time. j consider
maize to be a poor food for the horse.
The best food is oats, roller crushed.
These are invariably fed by the trainers
of race horses and by our best breeders.
They are worth from 20 to 25 per cent.
more TO the horse, as the nutrients are
more easily and rapidly digested. The
digestion Of whole grains is poor, as the
gastric juice cannot enter into them
and do their absorptve work.

Cement Floors for stables.

years, but the stable floors had been
patched for two or three years past, ard
we were losing much of the liquid ma

weight as the solid excrement. 1 know
that my floors rotted out much quicker
than they would have done If / had let
the air circulate under them, but that
makes a cold stable which is just what

barn 1 have demonstrated that a thor
Oughly warm stable will save One-third
of the food There was another thing
which l did not like under the old ar
Tangement. and that was rats. We have
three stables, each thirty feet long. The
cow and horse stables are arranged so
that the stock face each other, and both
eat from a manger six feet wide. Then
behind the horses we have a stable into
which we throw the manure every morn
ing. and in this we keep colts, or young
cattle loose. to tramp the manure. This
last stable can be divided into four box
stalls. or, IF we wish, IL can be thrown
into one or two. In putting in the ce-
ment floor we included the manger, and
thus got rid of the last rat harbOr about
our barn.

A fine wool is of the best class, such as
would usually come from Merino blood.
1t is used i'm making the finest flannel
cloth and dress goods, as cashmeres, CO.
burgs and delaines, worsted coatings, etc.
There are different grades Of fine wool,
with quite a range i'm market quotations
according to quality Of fineness. a fleece
with wool uniform in quality all over
would be graded as finer than one with
very fine wool on the sides. but not so
good on the rump.
Combing wool is of a length and staple
suitable for combing, that is, the fibers
are combed out straight and parallel and
the short wool. termed ''noils'' is re-
moved. The iibers are then spun into
worsted yarns. Combing wool needs TO
be long. COtswOlds, LincOlns and Leices-
ter sheep furnish standard combing woods
for various kinds of dress goods. Cots

To clean woodwork which is painted,

1t is richer than meat.
Instead of putting food into the oven
to keep hot for late corners, try cover
ing it closely with a tin and setting 1t
over basin of hot water. This plan
will keep the food hot and at the same
time prevent it from drying.
Baked ham to be good should be well
boiled; when done carefully skim and
cover the top with a layer of sugar;
bake in a deep pan i'm moderate oven

In selecting cutlery IT is well to re-
member that all fork prongs for table
use should be of silver. Taste may gov
ern the selection Of the handles. Buck
horn and its imitation are often seen.
Ivory is valued, but is not durable.
Pearl is, OF course, the most elegant and
the most expensive. CellulOid and iVOr-
inc are used instead Of ivory as they do
not turn yellow or crack. Silver handles
are also much used, though they are
not counted elegant table furniture.
In cleaning a badly sOiled carpet great
precaution should be used. Brussels,
tapestries, Wiltons or velvet carpets may
be cleaned with OK gala pint to a pail
of water. Use an ordinary scrubbing
brush. and afterward the carpet should
be vigorously rubbed with a coarse cloth
Fresh water should be applied. A small
portion of the carpet done each day dur
ing the hot and sultry weather would
keep it greatly refreshed in coloring, as
well as sweet and clean.
