Oats as Horse Feed.

Horsemen generally have recognized
something in the oat grain for horse
feeding taking it beyond the ranks of
other feeding materials-a stimulus,
perhaps or it may be something which
gives a different or better nerve ac-
ton, says Southern Cultivator. In
1S45, Norton claimed to have separated
an albuminoid from the oat grain,
which he called avenine. Samson of
France announced in 1883 that he had
discovered an alkaloid in the oat that
had a stimulating effect on the motor
nerve Of the horse. Whether the chem
list will ever find a distinct stimulating
principle in the oat- grain remains for
the future, but certain it is there seems
to be something Of this kind present.
This has found expression in the
phrase, "The oat grain turning over
in the horses stomach tickles his ribs"
With many horses the driver can tell
when the feed has been changed from
any other grain to oats or the reverse,
by the spirit or mettle of the animal.
Samson found that crushing or grinding
the oats considerably weakened the
nervous influence of this grain, and
Storer concludes that air probably
works to the destruction of avenine.
This points in favor of feeding oats
whole.

Facts About PumIce stone.

Pumice, as is we'll known, is Of VOL
canic origin, being trachytic lava
which has been rendered light by the
escape Of gases when in molten state.
1t is found on most Of the shores OF
the Tyrrhenian sea and elsewhere, but
Is at present almost exclusively OBJ
tanned from the little island of Lipari.
Most Of the volcanoes Of Lipari have
elected pumaceous rocks, but the best
stone is all the product of one noun
tain, Monte Chirlca, nearly 1000 feet
in height, with its two accessory era
ters. The district in which the pumice
is excavated covers an area Of three
square miles. 1t has been calculated
that about 1000 hands are engaged in
this industry, 600 of whom are en-
ployed in extricating the mineral.
Pumice is brought to the surface in
large blocks or in baskets, and Is car
ried thus either to the neighboring viii
lage or to the seashore to be taken
there in boats. The supply Is said to
be practically ineNhaustible. Pumice
Is used not merely for securing and
cleansing purposes, but also for polish
ing in numerous trades, hence the fact
that the powdered pumice exported ex-
ceeds in weight the block pumice. Be-
tween twenty and thirty merchants are
engaged in the pumice trade in tho
island.-London News.

What a Horss Can Draw.

On metal rails in the most favorable
condition and smooth from use, a horse
can draw one and two-third times as
much as on the best asphalt pavement;
three and one-third times as much az
on wood paving in good condition; five
times as much as on wood paving in
bad condition; seven times as much as
on good cobblestone; thirteen times as
much as on bad cobblestone; twenty
times as much as on earth road, and
forty times az much as on sand.

Kicking Mules.-As a rule, small
mules from broncho mares are very apt
to kick at any chance, while mules
from work mares and those with draft
blood seldom kick or balk. Very few
mules ever kick in the harness. The
Journal of Agriculture says: "a mule
seldom gets hurt on wire fence. While
they are very quick to see weak place
in fence and will get out where a
horse would not try, they are careful
not to get cut. The usual way to
break mule is to throw rope over
his head and tie to something solid
until he gives up, and when a good
strong harness is put on him and he
is hitched by the side Of strong, we'll
broken mule or horse, and both hitch
ed to wagon and driven into large
field and kept on the run until the
young mule will quit cutting capers,

year-old mule will do large amount
Of work; it is very hard to overwork
a mule; if his collar fits he will do all
he should, but will take care not to

Soil Fertility.-Few soils are so lack
ing in fertility that they would not
grow crops could the mineral plant food
which they contain be unlocked and
brought into fit condition for use. This
important operation, as we'll as nitriA-
cation-or the conversion Of nitrogen
compounds into the form of nitrates-
can proceed only in the presence Of
moisture. Crops plowed under for
green manuring, and barn manures, can
be made available only when there is
sufficient moisture in the soil, there is
q constant movement toward the plant
roots to restore the equilibrium, or
to make good that use by the plant.
This movement Of the moisture brings
to the roots the soluble plant food.
