Winter Care OF Horses.

There is q golden mean in feeding
animals that should be observed.
There is tendency where one takes
pride in horses TO feed too much. The
liberal feeder should take especial
pains to provide abundant exercise.
In the case of q team reduced in flesh
by hard labor during the summer and
autumn, feeding up to recruit in win
ter is essential. Feeding alone, how
ever. without moderate work. leaves
the creatures in softened flesh, which
vanishes before the heavy work of
spring.
II it is the intention to sell horses
in early spring, they should. by all
means, be fed up to . plump condition.
aud the muscles should be hardened
by moderate work. The careful buyer
inspscts more than the outside appear
ance. He expects constitution aud en-
durance rs we'll as clear sight and
sound limbs. Too often the gait Of the
colt is neglected to the detriment of it's
sale. Too often striking, interfering
and forging will permanently impair
the limbs or feet. when by attention in
time these defects might have been
permanently cured by use of proper de-
vices. The expense of shoeing in the
course OF years might also be much re-
duced where the policy Of prevention
is adopted in the early stages. Colts
as well as children may be corrected in
faults of carriage and gait Us well as
other habits, and such training adds
largely to their value.
The teams intended for the regular
work of the coming season, if in fair
condition at this time, may be fed mod
erately in proportion to the exercise or
work performed in winter. and will be
in better condition for spring labor
than if overwhelmed. Winter grazing
or. in lieu Of this, ensilage. roots. vege-
tables, bran and other cooling rations
should be afforded every alternate day;
at least, it is desirable to prevent any
condition OF the organs Of di
gestion. The occasional irritation
found in the disposition Of the older
horses arise from a neglect of proper
cooling diet in winter-Farm and

Rush to the klondike.

The railroads are confidently expecting
big rush of travel to the klondike in the
spring. 1t is estimated that fully loo, 900 PEG
pie viii attempt to reach the gold fields as
soon as the winter is over, and with de-
sire to turn nimble penny at every oppor-
tunity trunk lines are beginning to prepare
for the expected rush. One Of the first in
the field is the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
which has already begun the running of the
through tourist car from New York City to
San Francisco without change by way of
Philadelphia, Washington, Parkersburg and
Cincinnati, reaching St. Louis Wednesday
evening, Texarkana Thursday afternoon, FL
Paso, Texas, Friday evening and San Fran
cisco Sunday morning. This service is in adj
dition to the one provided by the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad from Pittsburgh by way of
Cincinnati and the Illinois Central to New
Orleans and the Southern Pacific through to
the coast, the Pittsburgh car leaving every
Wednesday. The New York car on its re-
turn leaves San Francisco Monday evening,
and the Pittsburgh car leaves on Thursday.

The Motorman,s Pie.

Here is a melancholy story of motorman
and his luncheon: The car was nearly ready
to start at the beginning of the route, when
a woman got on and took her place on the
front seat along with the driver, .'stern,
married-looking man" who had a basket be-
side him, and was somewhat hurriedly eat
ing his luncheon. The woman began ask
ing questions, and the man, as she left him
tfp nit. continued to snatch nat now and
bell he let on the power and the car started,
while he held in one hand great slab Of
cherry pie" A few blocks down the street
an impish child danced across the track
suddenly so near the car that the gripman
put on the brakes, and the woman with the
inquiring mind rose to her feet in alarm.
The danger passed, she sat down again heav.
lily. The stern-faced gripman had ceased to
eat his pie. "You don't have much time for
meals, do your" asked the woman with the
inquiring mind 'No'm," replied the grip
