Cut Feed for Horses,

All farmers use cut feed for horses
when at hard work, because there Is
great saving In the labor needed to di-
gest cut feed. If mixed with some grain
meal and wet so that the meal can only
be got by eating the cut feed mixed
with 1t, the whole will be chewed suf
ficiently to moisten it with saliva,
which Is necessary to quicken diges-
ton. But this economy in feeding cut
feed Is also important when the horse
Is not working. If the cut feed is corn
stalks, 1t should always be steamed
with very hot water, so as to soften
the cut ends of the stalks, which may
cause Injury. This Is the best, also, If
hay or straw is cut, particularly wheat
or rye straw, which, being harder than
cut hay and less nutritious, Is not likely
to be thoroughly chewed. The stomach
of the horse needs a slight irritation.
This Is the advantage which oats have
over other grains. Its hull helps the
grain to digest better, and this makes
the horse feel frlsky and able to do his
best. 1t Is an old saying of farmers
that when an old horse begins to act
unusually coltlsh he has probably 'got
an oat standing corner wise against
his stomach, and he jumps around so
as to get 1t out" 1t is homely illustra-
ton, but may have truth in it.-Ameri-
can Cultivator.

The young poets of Paris have elected
as successor to Paul Verlaine in poetlcal

Since Alfred Austin was appointed
poet laureate several thousand copies
of his works have been sold; but the
curious fact Is noted that many more
copies of his prose works than Of his
books of verse have had purchasers.
Mrs Emily Crawford, the well-known
Paris correspondent, contributes to one
of the March magazines a biographical
sketch of Alexandra Dumas the elder.

Joke nv Holmes.

At the time Of the Peace Jubilee,
DR.. G. b. Porter, of Boston, returned
to his office one day, and found the
slate in the hall covered with Latin
words and signed o. w. Holmes. He
Immediately got down his dictionary,
and with much effort discovered that
he had been to the Peace Jubilee, had
soiled his boots so thoroughly with dirt
that he did not like to go down town in
such a plight and had stopped and
asked Mr.. Porter's servant for foot
brush that he might clean up his boots;
and he had dignified this rather mental
performance by writing it all out in
Latin and leaving 1t on the slate.

Microbes Derour Sewage.

A novel disposition Of sewage is made
at Exeter, England. The method con-
sists of four tanks, fourth of the sew
age passing into each. Light and air
are excluded from the tanks; putrefac-
ton and decomposition are rapidly set
up; the microbes multiply and the solid
portions of the sewage are consumed
and the outflow from the tanks Is moth
ing but slightly colored water, which,
after passing through filters, loses all
color and taste. No chemical Is used,
and no attention to the tanks of any
sort is needed. Each filter bed auto
matlcally cleanses itself by being out of
use for a short time.

Mutton is more easily digested than
beef, though in healthy man no mark
ed difference would be observed, since
in the stomach of such a man there
arises no inconvenience from the diges-
ton of beef. However, mutton will be
found to tax the stomach of a dyspeptic
person less than beef does. Lamb Is
not nearly so nutritious as mutton. The
tissue Is soft, gelatinous and rich in wa
ter. Lamb should not be selected for

1t is generally mistake for the
farmers boy to leave the farm, and In
quite as many instances 1t Is also mis-
take for the old man to leave and move

The latter may not be the more intelli-
