The proper time to allow full feed of
hay is at s O'Clock a night, two hours aft
er the horse has eaten his oats, and so far
as hard worked horses are concerned, and
more especially in the heated term of mid
summer this is the only time hay should
be allowed 1t is absurd and detrimental
to allow any horse 10 stand and hog
hay all day long, and worse still if dozens
of ears of corn are added to the ration.
Even an idle horse needs but little hay
moi over fourteen pounds per day where
other good foods are given. The horses
stomach Is small, as has been said, and
he needs and should have concentrated
food in small quantities at short intervals.
We seldom find a case of 'heaves'' APP
pear in a city barn where horses are prop
erly managed. 1t is peculiarly a disease
of the farm fed horse and il is due to
continued overburdening of the stomach
and intestlnes with bulky, dry, coarse fod-
der and hay which are also too often moldy
or full of dust Many of the other all
ments of the horse are also due to the
same cause, together with lack of exer-
else, and too much corn. Feed sound food
to the horse in small quantities often, pre-
fer oats to corn for hard work, always wa
ter before feeding, exercise amply every
day of the year and give the main feed
of hay at night, and the farm horse will
be healthy and hardy.

Feeding HAY.

Where hay is plentiful as it is on most
farms, the fact that the horse has a small
stomach seems to be forgotten, says the
Farmers Review. Where on the contrary
hay is scarce ard high, as in the large
cities, the feeding of hay is much better
understood. To allow any working horse
60 eat hay ad Hbitum is positive cruelty
in that it is injurious to the horse, a this
animal is not provided with large or
age apr aratus as is the COW for the stow
ing away of fodder by the hundred pounds
This being the case, a great quantity of
hay consumed by a work ng horse, say at
the noon hour, merely becomes a burden
and eventually LEAFS to indigestion. Hay is
not digested in the stomach (Which in the
horse holds but three and a half ganons)
but in the large intestnes to which a 50
most Of the water goes when imblbed
passing through the stomach and of course
washing out part of the solid contents
present in that receptacle. On farms where
people rise very early hay may be fed
with advantage in small quantity if given
say at a. III. and the oat ration at a.
M. as time has been given for the hay TO
pass into the intestines. There can, how
ever, be no advantage in feeding hay at
noon, as the working horse cannot digest
1t but ca,r ies it around at work until even
ing comes when IL can be taken care Of
by the digestive apparatus.

At the election last week four Of the six
congressional districts of Maryland gave heavy
Democratic majorities. The FIRST district,
composed Of the Eastern Shore. except Cecil
county, gave Democratic majority Of 300,
an increase of nearly 1000 over last year.
The second, composed Of four wards Of BALI
more city, all but two districts Of Baltimore
county, aud the counties of Carroll, Hartford
and Cecil. Democratic majority Of !, lbs,
against a Republican majority Of $40 last
year. The third district. Baltimore, Demo
cratic majority of s,294 The fourth dis
triet, Baltimore, 4 Democratic majority Of
s,OS5. The fifth district, composed Of part
of Baltimore city, and the counties Of Anne
Arundel, Howard, Prince Georges, Charles,
St Maryis and Calvert, and two districts of
Baltimore county, which gave Sydney Mudd
nearly 5000 majority last year, gave Lowndes
but 279 this year, while the Republican ma
joriiy in the sixth district, composed Of
Montgomery, Frederick, Washington, Allie
gany and Garrett counties, which elected
Pearre last year by about 4, 500 majority gave

Carroll is credited with having two Repub-

"One More Chance for the Repub.
licans."

We publish in the ADVOCATE today an edi-
toraI from the Baltimore SIN of November
10, under the above caption. The Sun is aud
hiss been vigorous advocate of the single gold
standard, and supported Mckinley as against
Bryan in 1896, on that issue, and the editorial
of last Monday is quite significant. The San
is still for the single gold standard, but it
calls upon the Republican party to established
the gold standard and thus fulfill its promises
of 1896, or the people will lose faith in the
party. And if the next session of Congress
passes by without action the Sun warns the
party that the people viii no longer trust it on
the money question and the evils of free silver
will not suffice to hold the Independents and
gold voters to the support of Mckinley in
1909. With neither candidate pledged TO the
gold standard, with Mckinley committed to
the policy of expansion, Imperialism and
militiarism, and Bryan committed to the
Monroe Doctrine, the Declaration Of indie
pendence, and opposed to Imperialism,
large standing army and large navy, the
contest will turn upon these questions, with
the conservatives and Independents supporting
Bryan.
The money question is a domestic one.
The financial policy can be changed when
ever the people SO will it, but once the
government is committed to the policy of ex
pansio on it will be very difficult matter to
reverse it. For this reason the gold standard
advocates will take Bryan and free silver
rather than Mckinley and broken promises.

UNIoNTowY. Pa Nov. 13.-Torture was iu-
flicted last night by robbers on aged Isaac P.
Conn, his wife and hired mai, John Bixler,
near Cheat Haven, in the southern end of
LAFAYETTE county. The raid Yielded the burg
lars about 500 in cash and gold watch.
The robbers broke in the front door with u
a beam and went TO the bed room occupied
by the Conns, wearing masks and carrying a
dark lantern. As they we're binding the old
people they heard noise above. One of
them went to BiXlers room aud tied his hands
and feet aud dragged him downstairs and
threw him on the bed over the old people.
They said they knew Conn had received $500
for some coal he had sold aud they wanted it,
threatening to kill all three unless they told
where it was.
HUNG Up BY HANDS AND FEET.
They rausacked the house, ripped up the
beds and pillows, tore the carpets from the
floors, searched all the drawers, but failed to
find the $500. They threw the victims out
into another room while they tore their bed to
pieces looking for the money. Then the vie.
tins were stood up against a wall and The rob.
bers covered each with a revolver while they
gave them minute to tell where the money
was hid pressing the weapons to their heads.
Conn tainted under the strain, but they
threw water on him to revive him. Then they
resorted to further torture. They tied ropes
TO the wrists and feet of BiXler aud suspended
him from the four corner posts of bed with
no support but the ropes, which cut iuto the
bones, and beat him. They found razor in
drawer and drew il over Mr.. aud MIS-. Conn 5
Threats to scare them into telling where the
money was.
Finally they went off leaving their victims
bound and Bixler suspended. It Was three
hodrs before they were free. Near morning
Mrs Conn united knot with her teeth and
released the Others.
