THE HORSE.

The horse is far more intelligent
than many suppose. A kind word is
sometimes as good as a feed of oats.
A gentle tone, caresses, praises, gifts
of dainties, render him safer and more
obedient. Harsh treatment keeps him
nervous and in misery.
The horse is not creator of power,
but simply a machine. Power is put
into the locomotive by fuel; into the
horse by good food. Neither can he
supply one particle more power than
is furnished it. No machine better
rcpays thorough care than the horse.
Ownership has limitations, and in
cludes no right to neglect, torment or
mutilate. Horses have a right to
good food, kind care and to be as
happy as their masters. 1t is never
wise to do wrong; neither is it good
policy to starve, overwork or abuse
a horse. 1t never pays.
Mr.. Rarey, the tanner, said that al
most every wrong act of horse is

and that one harsh word
gaald Eo4ss j9ereassss rsasss. .shs nalsa at Z aaiSaas
Stanford discharged any man who
swore at his horses.
Overwork, undertaking, neglect and
abuse are costly mistakes, and have
reduced the average life of the horse
from 80 to Is years, incurring millions
of loss. Add the losses from sickness,
lameness and accidents, due to the
same cause, and we get the cost OF
cruelty to animals.
An unhappy, terrorized or hungry
horse, or one in distress from blows,
strains, bad shoes, check reins, mistlt
harness, binders or overexertion can
not do his best, and is just so much
disabled. The ignorance or depraVity
of drivers is at the foundation OF most
troubles. Cruelty is costly.

TO PRESERVE HAM AND BACON.

Mr.. Charles Poston, of Savage, s. c.,
confirms what has been said by lady
of Sumter as to the virtues of borax for
the protection of meat from the at
tacks of flies, etc. Having noticed, he
says, Mr.. Barrett's statement of his
troubles on that score be submits the
following approved recipe for the in
formation of all concerned:
"When the meat is ready to hang up,
after it been salted, wash off in hot
water and set on edge to dry. When it
is about dry apply small quantity of
pulverized borax by rubbing it on with
the hand or sprinkling it from com.
mon pepper box or through seive,
distributing it evenly over the feshy
surface and the stem of the ham and
shoulder. Smoke as long as desired,
but very little smoking will suffice.
1 have tried this plan for two years,
and my father has employed it much
longer. No hairy bug, skipper, worm
or fly will touch meat that has the
borax on it,"
A South Carolina correspondent of
The Southern Cultivator varies the
plan by using the borax in solution.
He directs that the meat be kept in
salt six weeks; then taken out and al
lowed to drip for five minutes, and
adds: "Make strong solution of bo-
rax water, dip the meat in for one min
ute, hang up and smoke if desired.
Farmers hereabout use this method,
and are never troubled with skippers."
Whether the solution should be hot or
cold, and just how "strong" it should
be, is not stated. The important point,
however, is that this witness confirms
the testimony of our fair Sumter cor
respondent and of Mr.. Poston that
borax affords an effective and unfail-
ing protection to the meat from the
attacks of winged or legless marau-
ders. We need not, therefore, print
any further recipes on the subject

REMEDY For CHRONIC DIARRHGA.
DR.. T. c. Smith, writing in The Medi-
cal and Surgical reporter, mentions
the fact of having cured a case Of
chronic diarrhea, which had lasted
nearly 40 years, by the administration
of saturated solution of salt and ci-
der vinegar, a drachm being taken three
or four times day. He also states
that since the first instance where he
recommended this homely remedy,
without supposing that it would actu-
ally do any good, he has employed 1t
several times in more or less severe
cases of chronic diarrhea, in which 1t
produced great Improvement, and in
some cases cure. When relapses fol-
flowed the suspension of the remedy,
it's renewed administration was again
followed by Improvement.

READ CAREFULLY and

DETwEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF
ID MARCH, II Is usual for the people Of this
section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one OF the cleanest,
most enterprising and reliable newspapers In
the state, It Is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILLE ENQUIRER should also be
one of the most popular. Ninety per cent Of
the families In the county desire It as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford 1t, may reasonably he looked upon
as probable subscribers. One Of the most Sc
rious drawbacks, probably, Is the lnconven,
ience Of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter Of subscribing at the
proper time. 1t is this fact that makes 1t es-
peclally desirable for us, just at this time, to
secure the services of O large number Of intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make 1t
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of O single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This is to the individual
who does not give his name to a clubmaker;
but sends 1t direct to this Office. In clubs,
however. the price is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubmaker,
and the price which, under all circumstances,
he is expected to pay us. Now to our propo-
SitiOnS.

Hot WATER TREATMENT FOR NEU

HOT WATER TREATMENT FOR NEU.
RALG1A.-The most stubborn cases OF
neuralgia are apt to yield to hot wa
ter treatment. Wherever the pain is
located, there hot water bag SHOULD
be applied, the suffering part should
be wrapped in a blanket, and the I'M.
fortunate patient should be put to bed
and covered with more blankets, and
induced to drink at least three cups OF
water as hot as the palate can stand.
This treatment may seem severe, but
it is sure to bring relief.
