GRAIN FOR HORSES.
The Value of Corn, Oats and Bran and
the Proportions in Which to
Feed Them,

Prof. Thomas Shaw, of the Minnesota
experiment station, writes on the value
of corn. oats ard bran for horses, and
says the proportions of corn and oats
which are best for working horses will
depend somewhat upon the nature OF
the work, and somewhat on the season
of the year. The harder the horse is be-
ing worked, it would be correct to say,
the larger the proportion Of corn that
may be given to him, and the colder the
weather, the more corn, relatively, he
may be fed. But to keep the system in
tone, he should be given oats and corn,
and if some bran can be added, heavy
feeding can be continued with safety
for a longer period than in the absence
of bran When horses are being worked
hard, they will do very we'll on grain
ration in winter, twothirds of which is
corn, and in summer, on a grain ration
onc-third or one-half of which is corn
But if one-fourth or one-fifth of the
grain FED is bran, there is much less dan.
ger of digestive arrangement than
when bran is not fed. So advantageou.
is bran 10 the grain food, that the aim
should be to feed some of it during
much of the year. The proportions
named above relate to shelled corn and
to weight rather than bulk.
1t would not be very material whether
the corn, oats and bran are all mixed be
fore feeding, or whether they are feG
separately; but even a horse tires oil
samencss; hence it may serve some use

feed the corn and oats separately, thai
is to say, to feed the corn morning ant
evening in winter, and the oats a t noon
ard in the summer to feed the oat.
morning and evening. and the corn "a
noon. The bran could be fed with one
or the other Of these grains.
A horse weighing 1900 pounds woult
require about Is to IS pounds OF grair
per day, that is to say. five or six pound
at each of the three feeds: but care
should be taken to lessen the amount o
food when the work slackens and il
proportion as it slackens.

OF A LOWER ORDER.
Woman Has Progressed, But Man l.
Yet In a BeniGhted
State.

A few weeks ago a new play was tried upon
a town near New York. The author was a
man, but in some way he had learned good
deal about women's mental processes; and
when the leading lady proceeded to cut a
Gordian knot by methods strictly feminine
girl in the audience beamed appreciatively
"Oh, you willy creature she murmured,
addressing the absent dramatist. Then she
turned impulsively to serious looking WON
an who sat beside her.
'Now how could he have known she would
do just that? He certainly must have been
a woman in some far-off incarnation"
Her neighbours seriousness became sever.
ity, and she frowned the frivolous young per.
son down.
THAT is quite impossible" she said, with
impressive gravity. Evidently YOU haven I
studied the subject. Woman is progressed

woman in a future incarnation; but he be
longs to a lower order and has never been
feminine in the past
Then she wondered why the girl found the
rest of the play so funny N. y Sun.

A FAMILY FAILING.
The struggle with Heredity.
The Right Side of the Color Line.

TO heredity, to the transmission Of
traits from sire to son, we owe most of the
possibilities of growth and development Mt.
II each newly born being started out anew,
without the force of heredity the level
Of life might be expected to be that of the
digger Indian or Bushman. Naturally bad
traits descend like the good. Peculiaritics
of feature, excentricities of speech and
manner, birth marks, etc, are handed
down just as surely IS manual dexterity,
physical beauty, mathematical ability,
and the mental and moral qualities in
general. A curious example of this de-
scent of family traits is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ga, in whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes:
"Gray hair is hereditary in our family.
AS long as can recollect, my mothers hair
has been gray. About twelve years ago,
my hair began to show signs of turning.
1 resolved to try Ayers Hair Vigor, and
after using it only few times my hair
was restored to its natural color. I still
use this dressing occasionally, a bottle
lasting me quite a while; and though over
forty years OF age, my hair retains its
youthful color and :ulfncss. To all who
have faded and gray hair, would heartily
recommend DR.. Ayers Hair Vigor."-Mrs.

A REMEDY FOR GAPES,
1t II Easily Applied and Has Been
Entirely Successful Wherever
1t Has Been Tried.

Gapes occur chiefly on old farms and
destroy thousands of chicks every year.
it is caused by collection of small,
hread-like worms in the windpipe of the
chicken. To kill these worms and
not iEjure the chicken is the thing to do.
Coal OIL OF the cheaper grade is more
effectual insecticide than the refined,
Take glass tube with small rubber
bulb which the apothecaries sell for a
medicine dropper," half fill it with
coal oil, and, inserting the tip into the
windpipe, discharge the oil. A small
Oil can used for sewing machines will
do in place of the medicine dropper.
Operate as follows: Place the chicken.
back down, between your knees, and
hold it gently; open the bill and draw
the tongue out. Seize the lower mandi-
BILE and tongue thus drawn out between
the forefinger and thumbnail of the lief :.
hand. This will bring into view the
opening into the windpipe at the base of
the tongue, into which gently insert the
tube and discharge the Oil. Close the
bill and hold the head still for a few sec
onds. Then let the chicken so, and it
will cough, scattering some OF the oil
out, but enough remains to destroy the
worms. and they will be coughed up and
swallowed. The gapes continue for
a time after the treatment, but the rem
edy will be effectual in every case, if
properly applied, and it may readily be
repeated, if considered worth while, as
often as necessary. After a little prac-
tice 1t is very easily applied. and always
succeeds.-Mirror and Farmer.
