Are Cold Baths Dangerous?

The popular notion of the Injurious
effect of cold bath taxed by one who
is over heated from exercise must poe
sess-as all such ideas have-some basis
in experience, yet it is falsified by the
experience of athletes from the days of
the Greeks and Romans even until now.
who find in this procedure refreshing
and stimulating tonic after the exertions
they have recently undergone.
And, physiologically speaking, cold
plunge, or douche taken immediately
after the physical effort, when the skin
is acting freely and there is sense of
heat throughout the body, is as rational
as in the experience of the athlete it is
beneficial.
The popular belief doubtless rests on
the Injurious effects which may be in
duced by the bath on one who does not
resort to it Immediately, but allows time
for the effects of fatigue to show them
selves on the muscles and nerves. and
for the surface of the body to get cool.
Taken then, the bath is more likely to
depress than to stimulate. There is less
power of reaction and greater liability to
internal inflammation. At such time
a warm rather than cold bath is more
suitable.-LondOn Tit-Bits.

HORSES.

Let US breed for heavy weights, and
we will get all the light and medium
weights we want. Horses weighing a
ton command fancy prices because they
are very scarce. Such horse, if sound,
will readily bring over 5000. and even
teams somewhat lighter will bring $500.
Set your mark for these weights.
Farmers can now see what the mark
cts demand, and if they go on breeding
scrubs, mules and trotters. they will be
sure of getting the prevailing low prices
of less than 500. Our own markets and
the export trade all want coachers and
heavy draft horses, and there is no limit
to the number wanted
Out of our 100000 of horses of the
last census 100000 have died or worn
out. The horse buyers have been abroad
in the land and culled over and over
again until we have only the cheapest of
this cheap production left, while the
commercial demand is regaining its lost
ground. He can the demand be sup
piled?
1t is useless to wait for high prices for
either scrub or medium horses; but it
takes five years to get good horse to
market The demands have passed
these low grades in everything, whether
it be horses, or beef or butter. Procure
the remaining few good mares and breed
to the best pure bred sires.
In our city fire engines we do not see
any little trotters, but pair of grade
draft horses galloping wildly through
the streets with great five ton engine
which would require four little trotters
to haul; and these large horses show re-
markable intelligence and courage, run
ming like war horses, with 90 nervous
nonsense about them to get frightened.

The modern method of clean feeding
oil meal and ground food in clean
troughs and supplying clean water with
the modern hog fountain is revolutioniz.
ing swine breeding and giving healthier
hogs and better quality of meat. 1t 10
no more trouble to clean the pens than
was the old time custom of moving the
stables every few years.
In shipping light weight hogs there is.
a tendency to overcrowd the car. This
is doubtful economy. and especially in
hot weather is the practice apt to entail
considerable loss. There should be
enough to fill the car. but their should
be no piling up and loss from smother
ing.
Usually it is not best to attempt to
fatten hogs when the weather is hot and
dry, yet they can be kept in such con-
dition that but short time of heavy
feeding, with good fattening ration,
will be necessary to properly fit for mar
ket; and one is always in shape to take
advantage Of the market.
