THE HORSES STOMACH.
1T Is Small and That Is why Hay and
Other Bulky Foods Should BE
Fed Sparingly.

Where hay is plentiful, as it is on
most farms, the fact that the horse has
q small stomach seems to be forgotten.
Where on the contrary hay is scarce
and high as in the large cities the feed
ing of hay is much better understood.
To allow any working hnrse to eat hay
ad ibitum is positive cruelty in that it
Is injurious to the horse, as this animal
is not provided with large storage ap-
paratus as is the cow for the slowing
away of fodder by the hundred pounds.
This being the case great quantity of
hay consumed by working horse, say
at the noon hour, merely becomes bur-
den and eventually leads to indigestion
Hay is not digested in the stomach
(Which in the horse holds but three and
a half gallons) but in the large in
testines to which also most of the water
goes when imbibed, passing through
the stomach and of course washing out
part of the solid contents present in
that receptacle. On farms where peo-
pie rise very early hay may be fed with
advantage in small quantity if given
say at five a. m. and the oats ration at
six a. M, as time has been given for the
hay to pass into the intestines. There
can, however, be no advantage in feed
ing hay at noon as the working horse
cannot digest it but carries it around
at work until evening comes, when it
can be taken care of by the digestive
apparatus. The proper time to allow
full feed of hay is at eight o'clock at
night, two hours after 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. It is absurd and det-
rimental to allow any horse to 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-not over IA 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 guam
titles at short intervals. We seldom
find case of "heaves" appear in city
barn where horses are properly man
aged. 1t is peculiarly disease of the.
farm fed horse and it is due to contin-
ued overburdening of the stomach and
intestines with bulky, dry, coarse fod-
der and hay which are also too often
moldy or full of dust. Many of the
other ailments of the horse are also due
to the same cause, together with lack
of exercise and too much corn. Feed
sound food to the horse in small guam
titles often, prefer oats to corn for
hard work, always water before feed
ing, 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.-Farmers' Review.

Removing Burs from Wool.

To remove burs from the wool in
sheep, the better way is to remove
the burs from the pasture lot before
they mature sufficiently to adhere to
the wool. Once they are in, a hard
task is on to displace them. There
are three ways whereby they can be
removed. One is to pick them out
with the fingers, holding the wool in
such a manner not to pull it direct
from the roots, and pull the wool di-
rect from the bur and allow it to
drop from the fleece. Another way is
to take pair of sheep shears and clip
the wool directly underneath them;
this, however, is wasteful. Another
method would be to take pair of
long pointed tongs and introduce
them between the sleeps body and
the bur, grasp firmly, then with
cord or long toothed currycomb rake
them out.-R. Logan, in Farm and
Home,

sylvania. It has been grown on the ex-
pertinent grounds of the department of
agriculture at Washington, D. c., and
has proved to be thoroughly adapted
to and valuable for this locality. The
seeds terminate poorly when they are
more than two years old. Most of the
seed used in this country is imported
from Europe, so that particular care
should be taken by importers and deal
ers to handle none but such as can be
sold under guaranty as good, fresh
seed.
Cultivation.-Hairy vetch may be
sown in autumn, from about the middle
Of August to the middle of September,
or in spring from the latter part of
April to the middle of May. IT should
be sown broadcast or with grain drill
at the rate of one to one and one-half
bushels of seed per acre. The drill
method of sowing will require a less
amount of seed. When the seed is put
in broadcast, a bushel of rye, oats or
so as to furnish support to keep the
vines up off the ground. If it is sown in
drills in the latter part of August, the
crop should be cultivated several times.
1t will furnish some forage in autumn,
end where the winter is not too severe
will start to grow again in the spring,
thus producing forage in late autumn
and early spring. at the two periods
when it is most needed.

LEES ARROW WOUND.
An Unknown Incident of the Gener-
ais Participation in Indian
Fights in Texas.

1t has c:ten been noticed that when
ever Gen. Fitzhugh Lee visits the white
house he stops to have chat with Capt.
Loeffier, who stands guard at the presi-
dents private office and the cabinet
room. This is generally attributed to
Lees pleasant way of treating every
one, but it has another origin.
Before the civil war Lee was lieu
tenant in the old Second cavalry, after
ward reorganized as the Fifth. Loeff1er
was trooper in this regiment and later
non-commissioned officer. His COM
pany was one of the two which were
engaged in a sharp fight with the Kiowa
and Comanche Indians in the CHM
maron country in Texas in 1859. The
Indians had taken refuge in narrow
canyon which could be entered only
from one end, and there had thrown up
a fortification of logs from behind
which they poured hot fire into the
troops. The character of the canyon
was such that the horses of the cavalry
were useless and they were left outside
the men advancing Oh foot. Only few
of the Indians had firearms, the rest
using bows and arrows. Had the In
been in later wars, the loss of the whites
would have been very large; as it was
only four or five soldiers were killed,
though the Indian loss amounted to
nearly so.
A charge was made upon the log fort,
and Lee, who was a dashing officer and a
wonderful favorite with his men, was
the first one to scale the breastwork.
The arrows were whizzing all about
him, and one struck him in the breast,
infiicting very ugly wound. AS he fell,
the confusion was so great about him
that the arrow was pulled out of his
flesh and thrown to the ground among
other arrows, whole and broken, so that
no one could tell afterward whether
the head had remained in the wound
or been drawn out with the stick. It
was impossible, therefore, to say how
seriously he had been hurt, and he was
carried at once to the rear where a
litter was improvised of saplings and
boughs. He was laid upon this, which
was swung between TWO uoISeS, anu
thus he was carried back to the wagon
train, distance of more than $50 miles
through rough country. Probing
showed that the head of the arrow had
fortunately been drawn out, and in due
time good nursing put the lieutenant on
his feet again.
This is an incident in Lees career
which is apparently known to very few.
1t is Of interest, also, that the old Sec
ond cavalry had for it's colonel Albert
Sidney Johnston and for it's lieutenant
colonel Robert E. Lee, and that Hardee,
of ''tactics" fame, and George III. Thorn
as were two of it's majors. The captain
of the company in which Fitzhugh Lee
was first lieutenant was Kirby Smith.
Loeffler served with credit in the union
army during the civil war, was given his
white house detail by President Grant,
and was appointed by President Nc
Kinley as military storekeeper'' in the
regular army, with the rank of captain.
