Cause of vertigo In Gersc,

The most frequent difficulty with
| ducks and geese is that of vertigo. They
drop down on their feet or fall over 10
one side suddenly, at times as rapidly
recovering, or dying Immediately. This
happens only when ducks or geese are
fed on too much grain. The best system
to adopt in summer is TO put them in u
field where short grass is abundant or
even young weeds, and let them get the
food for themselves. Ther require but
very little food in summer, as they are
then well over the laying period, becom-
ing non-producers, If this fact is kept
in vjew--that of the producers re-
curing but little food during warm
weather--there would be a saving in ex-
penses as well as fewer losses from dis
ease, but it is difficult to convince those
having good breeds that there is such
thing as killing with Kindness feeding
too much.--Journal of Agriculture.

A WATERFRONT travelled down Lake On

Celery is ordinarily biennial; that
Is to say, it requires two seasons to
come to maturity. In this habit 1t is
like the turnip, cabbage, carrot and
many other familiar plants, which form

over winter, and the following season
send up seed stalk. After ripening its
seed the plant dies. The biennial habit
OF growth is not absolutely fixed In the

CORN ON The dos.



| Corn on the cob should never be fed
to horses, as there is always a risk
Of making them sick by doing So,
When corn on the cob is fed, unless n
horses appetite is carefully noted and
just enough is given 10 him, he will
eat the cob also, and as the cob is more
or less indigestible there is big chance
Of making him sick aud losing him.
In feeding horse care should be taken
to give him just enough and no more
too much being almost as bad as too
| little.
| have just heard OF an experience
with a good horse which proves the
truth OF what | have said. One of my
friends who has a negro hostler has
had trouble about keeping his horses
well and in good condition, owing to
the fact that If the hostler, for any
reason, lost his temper with one OF
the horses he gave that horses break
fast, dinner or supper to another horse,
aud when the stinted horse got his next
meal (for the negro was afraid to cut
him more than one meal at a time1 he
would cat cobs as well as the corn,
One evening some time ago, when the
stock came in from work, one Of the
horses was sick and it was found that
he had indigestion. A remedy was
given, and when after long work on
him the sick animal evacuated a great
number of pieces of cob as large as a
chestnut We're found. which showed
conclusively the cause of the trouble,
No blame was attached. to the hostler
at the time, but soon after another ne
gro who had a grudge against the Ill
tempered hostler told how the horses
were treated; investigation proved the
truth of the story and the hostler was
discharged, Since that time the horses
have been fed on shelled corn and there
has been no trouble, all of them keep
ing in perfect health and looking well.
1t is some trouble and "A slight ad.
ditional expense to shell the corn for
the horses, but it is better to do this
than to have to sit up for hours with

always dry,
Twas on my left in goin' out. my right in

And to miss drink, I always felt, would
kinder be sin.

So always drank to music from the old
