"Well, you see, he preached a trial
sermon on salvation, and every unre-
pentant sinner in the audience came
up and joined the church. So we
engaged him. The next Sunday he
preached on the duty of marriage,
and every old bachelor and widower
in the congregation hooked on to an
old maid and was married before Sat-
urday night. He got q SIS fee out of
every couple. But the worst came
last Sunday. He preached upon the
duty of giving all to the Lord, and l

WATERING AND FEEDING.

CLEMSON COLLEGES. G. July o.
Most of the gastric and intestinal dis
orders of the horse and mule are
brought about by ipjudicious feeding
and watering.
Since the stomach of the horse is
very small in comparison to the frame
it Immediately suggests the question,
how often ought we to feed the horse
and the mule?
Water stays but short while in the
stomach of the horse or mule, and
therefore it always must be given to
the animal before anything at all is
fed, as any food not yet prepared by
the juices of the stomach to enter for
further digestion will when washed
out of the stomach by the water drank,
act upon the intestines the same as an
irritant, and thus cause collie and other
intestinal disturbances more or less
serious in nature. Consequently the
cardinal rule in watering horses is
"Water before feeding"
If a horse or mule comes in exhaust
ed or wet with sweat, it is we'll to al
low a moderate draft of not too cold
water. Next rub the animal dry, af-
ter that give him reasonable amount
of water and feed grain, hay or fodder.
Experience teaches US that feeding
the domesticated horse three times
daily is sufficient. If old and unable
to masticate the grain properly, as
shown by whole grains appearing,
which at the same time may be due
to diseased teeth or too greedy nature,
the former to be corrected by the vet
erinary dentist, the latter by putting
a couple of cobblestones in the manger,
thus forcing the animal to pick the
food from between the stones slow
ly-ground feed is indicated, while
any change in feeding must be grad
ual one.
Horses should not be fed when
heated or Immediately before or after
hard work. A very wrong idea prev
alenG among our people IL to ieeu Iue
horse or mule an extra mess because
he is about to do some extra hard work
on the farm. In either cuse positive
harm is most likely to follow such
practice and invariably can a fatal
case of indigestion be traced to feed
ing or watering while the animal was
either too hot, exhausted, or fed short
ly before or after hard work. Regu-
larity in feeding is very desirable to
keep up healthy digestion.
Overlengthened abstinence is in It.
self injurious and the mischief is often
aggravated by the animal eating in
excess when he finally gets his food.
An overhearty meal is hurtful at any
time and especially so when the stom-
ach is weakened by long fasting, hard
work, hot weather, etc. Mouldy hay,
artifcially dried oats and corn and the
drinking of stagnant or muddy water
is at no time "good enough for the
horse or mule"

PURE AIR.-Do not be afraid to go
out of doors because it is little colder
than usual. The cold air will not
hurt you, if you are properly protected
and take exercise enough to keep the
circulation active. On the contrary,
it will purify your blood, strengthen
your lungs, improve your digestion,
afford a healthy, natural stimulus to
your torpid circulation, and strength
en- and energize your whole system.
The injury which results from going
into cold atmosphere is occasioned
by lack of protection to some part
of the body, exposure to draughts, or
from breathing through the mouth

A BIT OF KENTUCKY HUMOR.-
When DR.. Bowling, pioneer medical
man in the south, began practice he
settled in the wilds of Kentucky,
where he sat in front of his cabin for
six months without call. At last he
heard the clatter of a horses hoofs
and a lank barefooted Kentuckian ap-
peared. care you doctor?" he ask

sir, is erysipelas." Erynothin'," said
the man, "a bee stung me-" The doc

b8 Remember that one can have
the hands in soapsuds with soft soap
without injury to the skin, if the
hands are dipped in vinegar or lemon
juice Immediately after. The acids
destroy the corrosive effects of the
alkali, and make the hands soft and
white. Indian meal and vinegar or
lemon Juice used on hands when
roughened by cold or labor, will heal
or soften them. Rub the hands in
this; then wash off thoroughly and
rub in glycerine. Those who suffer
from chapped hands will find this
comforting.

NEURALGIA.-The most stubborn
cases of neuralgia are apt to yield to
hot water treatment. Wherever the
pain is located, there a hot water bag
should be applied. The suffering part
should be wrapped in blanket, and
the unfortunate patient should be put
to bed and covered with more blank
cts, and induced to drink at least
three cups of water as hot as the pal
ate can stand. This treatment may
seem severe, but it is sure to bring
relief.

New Orleans 10 the north-bred man

also all marriage licenses are issued,

set aside the verdict in the Clark case and
granted a new trial. while Rich was sent
back to jail, but will appeal the case
with chances favoring a reversal by the
supreme court.
The case has attracted considerable no
