Feeding Working Horses.

1t requires as good Judgment proper
ly to feed a working horse as to prac-
tice medicine. 1t will hardly do to feed
a horse each day according to the work
expected of it, and still when worked
steadily and hard every day more feed
should be given than when idle, or when
kept, as many horses are, mostly idle
and for use next summer, and when
used driven at a slow gait only and
used very little. Well cured clover hay
is good food, and if clean and free from
dust may constitute their entire food
Mr.. Terry claims to feed his working
team nothing but clover hay, but could
never see how such course could be
profitable | want my horses to work
too many hours in day and to work
too hard to keep in proper condition on
clover hay alone.
When being wintered ON clover hay
alone horses should have enough to
keep in good flesh and should be fed not
less than three times daily-four would
be better, so as not to be obliged to eat
too much at one time. But where horses
are working hard or driven much faster
than walk it is better that the clover
hay ration be lessened in amount and
some grain be added. If the owner can't
endure seeing them standing idle and
with nothing to eat, the managers may
be filed with straw-oat, wheat or al
most any other straw, if bright and free
from dust For a 1,100 pound hard
working horse not driven fast l 5 pounds
a day may be given in two or three
feeds. To this should be added enough
grain to keep the horse in condition
i. e., with no loss of flesh. To driving
horse of that weight would give not
over 6 to 10 pounds and give nearly all
of that at night-not more than two
pounds in the morning and none at
noon. To this add sufficient grain to
maintain the condition. OF course clo-
yer hay, or, for that matter, any other
hay that is musty or NOW burned, is not
fit food for any animal, much less the
horse, and if the owner be obliged to
feed such hay it should always be well
wetted and several hours before being
fed. S. Woodward in Rural New

SCOT Water For Plants.

SCOT water, made from the SCOT OF
wood fires, is said to be an excellent fer
tilizer of house or outdoor plants. The
SCOT should be brushed down from the
chimneys with long handled brush,
gathered into a quart bag and soaked in
rainwater overnight. The water, black
as ink, will be ready for use the next
morning. To use about house plants it
should be considerably diluted. 1t has
a tendency to bake the soil and can
easily be too strong for the little amount
of earth in window box or pot. 1t is a
perfect destroyer Of insects and worms
that sometimes infest house plants and
may be used in such cases once or twice
q week until they disappear. New

The Same, but Different.

Two letters were once addressed to a
certain corps commander Of the Army
of the Potomac on the eve Of a forward
movement, one of them written by Gen
eral Halleck, chief of the staff, and the
other by President Lincoln. General
Halleck's letter contained a warning
couched in this fashion: SIN undertak
ing to place your command on the oppo-
site shore of the Rappahannock you will
exercise extreme caution in affording
full protection to advance, rear and
fianks, in order that the enemy may not
be encouraged to make an attack while
your forces are separated in the act Of
crossing" This was good advice Lin
coin gave it to the same commander in
the note which he wrote to him, but
this was the form in which he expressed
it: Look out, when you cross the river,
that you don't hang yourself up in the
middle like a steer on fence, neither
able to hook with your horns nor kick
with your hoofs. F"

British Cart Horses.

The British cart horse descent can be
traced from the great horse originally
imported from Flanders and Lombardy,
but much improved since those days by
judicious crossing and careful selection
of parents. The Stuarts first introduced
quality, but size was wanting, for when
William III assembled the throne and
sought to drain the Lincolnshire fens
he found that the British cart horse OF
this date was not strong enough for the
tasks imposed upon him. Consequently
he imported large Dutch horses, the old
Lincolnshire Blacks
The Dukes of Ancaster also brought
over to this country similar breeds from
Holland. This was the first step of any
note which gave an impetus for the i'm
provement of our coarser equine stock
and formed the main root from which
our cart horses have proceeded. --Nine-

Enormous Evaporation Figures.

An average of five feet of water is es-
timated to fall annually over the whole
of the earth's surface. Assuming that
condensation takes place at an average
height of 5, 900 feet, the force of evapo-
ration necessary to supply moisture for
such prodigious rainfall must be equal
to the lifting of 322, 600. 900 pounds of
water 5000 feet every minute, day and
night, during the entire year. To supply
this enormous amount of moisture a
stratum of the entire ocean surface of
the globe not less than ~ feet thick
must be taken up by the clouds and re-
turned to earth once each 865 days. -

Grams Universal Atlas.

Among recent publications of more
than average merit we find a new
edition of Grants Universal Atlas.
This work has many new and novel
features, which will in themselves
make it the most valuable work of it's
kind yet offered to the public. The
first copies came from the press Nov.
20. The sale has been so large that
the publishers find it necessary to
start the press Immediately on the
second edition. The sale of this atlas
is in the hands of J. L. Thomas, Of
Albion, Mich. Mr.. Cram is also the
publisher of the Unrivalled Atlas,
which has undoubtedly had the largest
circulation of any single publication
ever issued in this country, we have
no hesitancy in saying that the Uni
versal is a very superior work in every
way. We have just had the pleasure
of examining the work at the hands
of Mr.. Thomas, who is now in the
city. He is very enthusiastic in the
work he has in hand and the general
favor with which it is being received
by the public.
Mr.. Thomas has an arrangement
with the merchants of this city by
which every family can obtain one

with their faces within six inches of
each other.

DRY GOODS FIRM is PAYING OUT

OF nGlI hOHtN-
New York. Aug. 13.-Great interest
was attached in Wall street as well as
in the dry goods district to the formal
statement of the receivers of e. S.
Jaffrey e. Co. to the creditors. The
statement is as follows:
The receivers of E. S. Jaffrey & Co.,
having filed their accounts down to the
1st instant with W. w. Ladd. as ref
cree, as directed by the judgment under
which they were appointed, the referee
issued to the creditors a citation re-
turnable on the Goth instant, the day
upon which the receivers will ask for
the passage of their accounts. In view
of numerous inquiries made respecting
this citation the receivers think that it
is proper for them to send to the cred
itors the inclOsed summary or recapitu-
lation of accounts thus filed, showing
the total receipts by the receivers of
50, 913, 4SS20, payments of $2,304S04. 81
and cash balance on hand on the 1st
instant of 5000, 1929. Upon the pass
ing of the receivers accounts they will
ask for the direction of the referee for
payment of a further dividend to the
creditors. A dividend Of 60 per cent
has been paid upon 1902, OO1. SO of adj
mitted claims.

FIGHT for Control of Police About
Settled.
RECOURSE HAD TO THE LAW
Agreement to Join Issues Before the
Courts Will Probably BE
Entered Into.

Omaha, Aug. 11.-There now appears
to be a fair prospect that the fire and
police board muddle will be amicably
settled in this city, as suggested by
Governor Holcomb at the very incep-
ton of the trouble. The injunction case
decided yesterday settled none of the
issues involved. and in passing upon
the petition Tor an injunction the judge
intimated that the proper procedure
would be for the claimants under the
Churchill-Russell appointment to
bring quo warranto proceedings
against the old board.
The present occupants have always
claimed they were ready and anxious
to join issues on the rights to Office in
legal proceedings. While no agree
ment to that effect has yet been ar
rived at one probably will be within
the next "a hours
Another story which is given cred
ence in many quarters is to the effect
that the A. p A. board will meet to-
morrow, appoint a police force, and de-
mand possession of the office and books,
and if this is refused, win attempt to
take possession by force. The present
force is prepared to resist any attempt
of this kind. In case the newly ap-
pointed police force can not get pos
session of the city Jail, they count upon
securing recognition from the police
judge and setting up a little Jail Of
their own. 1t is more likely, however,
that the proposal for a settlement will
be adopted.

Charles McGonigle was arraigned this
afternoon before Justice Rodman on a
charge of murder in the first degree.
