friendships; its politics and opinions; its
Dinner and its Table; the origin and

Cooked Feed for Horses.

At the last annual meeting of the
North Of England Veterinary Medical
association, says London Live Stock
Journal, several veterinary surgeons
strongly condemned giving horses
cooked food. One gentleman said it was
most unnatural to give horses what he
described as pigs meat" If they
wanted to have fat, flabby horses, he
said, give them cooked food. Besides,
disease broke out amongst them, and
they died like rotten sheep. Give, he
said, horse good, hard, sound food,
with judicious work, and he would re-
pay his owner for it. Another speaker
referred to the great mortality mong
horses in Scotland some years ago from
collie. The farmers were giving the
animals boiled barley, linseed, turnips,
and other things. Prof. Gamgee advised
them to abandon that system of feed
ing. They did so, with surprising re-
suits, and the agriculturists entertained
the professor to dinner in Edinburg
about the year 1850 in return for the
advice he had given them. In contra
diction of the foregoing opinions, Mr..
John Malcolm, f. r. G. V. S., Birming
ham, said his experience of boiled food
was entirely opposed to that of those
who had spoken, but his success might
be due to the fact that the horses were
never given too much at once. The
great evil was the giving too large
quantity of food at one time. Mr.. NAL
colin expressed himself in favor of
damping, if not boiling the food. So the
verdict in the case of cooked VS.. dry
food was not unanimous. Perhaps the
reason why cooked food is so con-
demned is that horses eat it more rap
idly than food which takes a longer
time to prepare before it leaves the
mouth. The horse "bolts" it, and en-
gorgement of the stomach follows.

A WARRIOR.

they have not passed the stone age.
Most of their life is out on desert, and
few Of their settlements are in the
shade of trees. Their houses are built
of brush to about the height of a mans
head. So little contact have they had
with the outside world that they have
no useful arts at all, with the exception
Of pottery and basket making. The
Serbs are a nation of runners, being
built with long, thin, sinewy legs, and
big chests like grayhounds. Instead Of
turning their attention toward the
manufacture Of weapons of the chase,
they have given 1t more to the foot.
When they go out hunting they are so
quick that they can catch antelopes
with their hands. They also catch jack
rabbits in this way, and the method
they have in these hunts shows more of
instinct than ingenuity. Three Of them
walk out together, until they start a
rabbit. A rabbit always begins to run
at an angle from the course taken by
its hunters. One of the Indians will
start running rapidly in course be-
hind and parallel to that taken by the
rabbit. Another Indian will start run
ming at an angle of ninety degrees; the
third Indian stands still. The first In
dian, when the time is propitious, shows
himself, and the rabbit starts off at
right angle toward the second man.
The second man then shows himself
and the rabbit Is driven back. BY re-
peating this performance the triangle is
made smaller, and finally, after the rab-
bit is bewildered and exhausted, he Is
very easily captured. One could hard
ly believe some of the stories of their
-
Of these chases after wild animals. In
their manners and habits they are as
nearly like beasts as it is possible for
men built In human form to be. They
are filthy beyond description, and
maintain an apparent Indifference to
everything and everybody about them.
l could not ascertain the truth of the
report as to their cannibalism, but 1t
Is my belief that 1t Is incorrect"

SERBS CHILD.

Of land no expedition from the east has
gone, except that of Prof. MCGEE, which
has not been attended by some fatality.
The Serbs are held in such dread by the
Mexican vaqueros, and even the au-
thorities Of Sonora county, that unless
a large party is formed no white man
ever goes into their country. The In
dams are so primitive in their charac-
teristics that in their relations with the
white man and the nearby Papagos
they are as beasts. They look upon any
person who is not of their tribe as an
enemy and so cruel and vindictive, so
cunning and treacherous are they that
even the Papagos will not venture into
their country unless in sufficient num-
bers to Withstand an attack. An ex-
ample of the terror which they inspire
in the Mexican authorities Is had in the
experience Of an expedition which was
sent out against them after the killing
of two Americans, Robinson and one
of his companions of the San francisco
Examiner, last year. After this muir
der it was thought by the Mexican au-
thorities that international complica-
lions might arise unless they made
come attempt to punish the tribe. The
whole number of the Serbs Indians has
been reduced to about 800, only seventy
five of whom are warriors. The Mexi-
cans sent out greatly superior force
with the avowed determination to wipe
the Serbs off the face Of the earth. One
body of men was to go by land and
another by water and the two were to
cooperate. Whether the Mexican cour-
age oozed out at their finger tips on the
near approach to the Seris' country or
whether for some other cause, the ex-
petition never reached their destina-
ton. The one going by land reported
that they had not seen any Serbs In
dams and the other did not leave their
boats.
1t was with the greatest difficulty,
therefore, that Prof. MCGEE succeeded
in getting permission from the Sonora
authorities to go into the Serbs country,

summer Feeding.

One or the most important items In
making hogs profitable on the farm is
to push the growth as much as possi-
bic. While the weather is reasonably
pleasant and there is good pasturage
Is one OF the best seasons for secur-
ing good growth at a low cost. Lib
eral feeding is of course necessary. The
clover or grass pasture will help timo-
thy not only in securing good growth,
but in lessening the cost. But in all
cases when it is desired to push the
growth 1t will be necessary to feed lib
orally in addition. The amount of the
ration can best be determined by the
condition of the pigs, as this is the best
plan.
All things considered one of the best
rations that can be supplied is mid
dlings made into a slop with skim milk.
This with pasturage makes a complete
food, and thrifty gain can be secured
at low cost. Frequently 1t will pay
to buy mill feed for growing pigs even
IL IL Is necessary to sell corn to get the
money. Some corn or corn meal can
be fed, but 1t is cheaper and better to
make middlings the principal ration.
Ground oats II good feed for growing
pigs. 1t sup! es the material needed
TO secure good development of bone
and muscle, the principal objection to
feeding them being the cost, and this is
an item that must always be consid-
cred as with growing pigs as we'll as
other products from the farm, the cost
of making ready for market must be
made as low as possible without lower
ing the quality. 1t is this that makes
1t desirable to feed middlings in pref
erence to almost any other ration that
can be supplied, and especially so on
the farm where plenty of sweet milk
can be had so that it can be made into
a good slop. Nearly or quite all that
they can eat up clean should be given
at each meal, feeding three times day
until they get well started to growing,
at least, when two will answer.-Ex-

Quiet Farm Life-Many complain of
the confinement Of farm life, and es-
pecially at night they must be al home.
Statistics show that nine-tenths of the
crimes committed in the world are
done between sunset and sunrise.
Blessed rather is the farmers family,
safe from the temptation and secure
in the pure influence of home. Let us
build our homes, sending forth moral

be remembered with pleasure by our
children in the years to come, a quiet
retreat in which to entertain our
friends, a rest for the weary traveller
and stranger and an honor to our COM
munity in which we live, and we can
say we have made the farm pay.
The Cheerful Farmer.-One of the
important qualifications necessary for
q farmer to make the farm pay Is to
be satisfied with his calling and make
the best of his surroundings. The
farmer who is always grumbling be-
cause his neighbor is getting along bet
ter than he, or wants to run the finance
Of the country and cursing the money
lenders, is not the farmer that will
make the farm pay. On the other hand,
the farmer who has the better qualifl-
cations-a cheerful disposition, close
observer how the successful neighbor
manages, and much more ready 10 re-
ceive advice than to give it, unless
asked, and keeps within his means, will
plalxe the farm pay.-Ex.

woman's Progress In Korea.

Among the many interesting fact.
to be gathered from Mr.. Savage Ian
doris book on Korea, lately published
by no means the least striking is the
authors statement that the native queen
is much in favor of the emancipation
of the Korean women. :"
But unfortunately the sympathy of
her Korean majesty does not seem at
present to have done much toward I'M
proving the lot of her feminine subjects,
for we are told that work of every kind
is done by the women alone, who are
practically the slaves of their husbands.
1t would seem, after all, that the Ko-
rean queens leaning toward general
feminine emancipation" is nothing
more than what theologians call "pi-
GUS opinion, y for Mr. Savage Lander
says there are tongues in Seoul that
say that the queen actually rules the
king, and therefore through him the
country, and that he is more afraid of
her gracious majesty, his wife, than of
the very devil himself. +"
If this be SO, the queen seems rather
inclined to confine the practi-
cal realization Of her new woman
theories to her own palace. Gladys

women.s Rights In GERMANY.

Only in so far as the legal position Of
the married woman must exercise a
moral influence On the life of the IN
married is it necessary to say word of
the legal foundation of marriage in
Germany. 1t rests entirely on the view
of the superiority of man, of the subor-
dination of woman. Even the notion
that she is bought by her husband sur
wives, in however slight form, in the
ceremony of betrothal. Her husband is
her master, her guardian, her natural
supporter. Above all he is her educator.
She shares his rank, his name, his dig
mites, his fortune, but without him she
cannot administer her own. Gin the
domain of all she remains a subject, "
Sohm argues, "and if she reigns at all
it must be by the free will of man.
In the county like Germany, where,
in all matters connected with moral
and intellectual life, the links Of tradi-
ton have never been severed, the pres
ent is explained by the past. Disdainful
silence is the mildest form of criticism
opponents will offer whenever on the
platform or from the professional chair
the attempt is made to plead in favor
of women's political rights. On this
point all the female advocates of the
emancipation of their sex are unani-
nous in their lamentations. Boston
