HORSES IN GERMANY.
Hiar1burE Paper DcplOres the Fact
Tint American Animals Are
in Growing Demand.

Exports of horses to Germany con.
tinue to attract attention both at home
and abroad. Regarding American
horses IN German, the Hamburger
Nachrichten, in a recent article, says:
"lmportations from American have
caused the ho~rSe-raiSers of Holstein to
suffer much of late. y stock company
has just been formed in Berlin for the
express purpose of importing horses
from the United States. The Ameri.
cans have succeeded in breeding a
horse which compares very favorably
i'll every way with the Holstein animal,
especially in those points so highly
priced in a work horse, namely, broad
hips and large build generally. The
best markets for Holstein horses have
always been the provinces of Saxony,
Thuringia and brunswick. The de-
mand is created by the large sugar
factories. This market has been de-
creasing of late, owing 10 American
horses being purchased in Berlin. A
few days ago this Berlin company
shipped a drove of so through Ham,
burg en- route for Milan, Italy, where
they are to be used on the tramways.
Almost every week a long freight train
filled with American horses leave the
Berliner Bahnhof for various parts of
Germany. In spite of expensive freight
and a tariff of seven dollars per head,
the Americans have built up a very re-
spectacle competition in the German
market"

Cheap Shelters for Sheen.

One of the advantages in keeping
sheep is that they do not need an ex.
pensive building as a shelter. A shed
open on one side suits them as well as
a tight barn, and even better, as they
require considerable ventilation. But
it should be so arranged that both rain
and snow can be kept out of it, for the
sheep should not get their fleece wet in
cold weather. 1t takes too long to get
it dry again. and the whole body get.
chilled, reducing vitality, even if they
do not take colds to set them cough
ing and running at the nose. Nor SHOULD
water oe allowed to run into tie sheo
:rSns outside. A sheep will not fe down
in the mud or cn wet straw. Keep tht
inside of the shed dry and we'll Uttered
with CLEAN straw and the sheep will OF
healt9 thrive well, even ON mod

A CORN FEEDING.
TuFnips, Pumpkins and Damn Mill
Feed Should BE Given in Com
nectiOn with 1t.

There is no economy in stinting the
ration given to growing and fattening
Pigs. The ann should always be to in
5uce as heavy feeding as possible. Al
ways much care should be given to Sc
cHre perfect digestion, as heavy feed
ing sometimes causes trouble with the
digestive organs. After green corr
commences there is always a desire to
hurry the pigs to market, and corn is
fed to the utmost limit.
1t must be remembered that the mod
ern, quickly-developed pig is a soft
creature as compared with his ances-
tors of 60 years ago, that the four to
six months old pig will not corn and d.
gest it like the yearling or 1S-months-
old hogs of the past. Something must
be done to keep up the appetite of this
young thing.
A range over a grass sward will give
exercise, if it is clover sod that they run
over they will get much to keep their
systems in tone.
Heavy feeding by some may be
thought to consist in having corn al
ways by them. This is not correct, as
they will consume more if fed at stated
intervals and only fed enough to keep
their appetites sharp. When once start
ed to fatten the feeding should be
heavy to the finish, as a limited feed
ing is always attended with loss.
1t will be found an advantage to give
variety in feeding. While orr is the
main ration, a good grass ration is a
help-or an occasional feed of pump
kIns. Iurnips they learn to eat in time
as other %succulent foods fail them.
Mangels they take to at once, and while
they may not add much weight they
help the appetite. y ration of mill feed
is always acceptable if fed damp and in
proper quantity.
We do not regard these things as a
cutoff on the noun of corn fed. but
rather as an aid to heavy corn feeding,
and also an aid in ~prolonging the time
corn may be fed without the hogs STALL
ing on it and getting entirely off feed

The singing of the native Hawaiians

and learns new airs with facility. Yet.
no matter what selection is sung by
the natives, and no matter how close
j. the notes are followed, the sing
ing is always peculiarly plaintive, due,
no doubt. to some subtle. indefinite
quality of the singers voices. Their
singing is at its best out of doors. and
