ShYING HORSES

Horses often have what Is called the
vice of shying-that Is, of starting sud-
denly at the rustic Of leaf or piece OF
paper or at the approach Of any object
10 which they are not accustomed.
Clearly this Is the remnant OF an instinct
inherited from their wild progenitors in
the steppes or prairies, where the sud-
den rustling Of 4 leaf might indicate the
presence of u wolf, and where everything
that was strange Was therefore suspi-
cious.
IL is Idle as we'll as cruel to beat q
horse for shying. That only increases
his alarm, and may easily reduce him to
the state of terror In which he loses bis
head entirely. Horses in that state
seem to lose not only their heads, but
their perceptive senses, and horse In
that condition may dash headlong against
a stone wall. The hsbit OF shying when
once formed Is difficult to cure, but II
may always be prevented by such con-
sistent kindness Of treatment as to over
power the Inherited instinct Of instan,
flight from possible danger in which the
habit originstes.-Our Animal Friends

BRAN FOOD EoR PIGS.

We divided II pigs into four lots as
evenly as we could. The pigs varied In
weight from 45 to so pounds. The first
lot Of these pigs WAS fed ration OF
fermented or sour bran; the second lot
was given untrested bran; the third lot
hsd bran and corn meal; and the fourth
lot was fed corn meal. The pigs were
weighed each weet TO the end Of the ex-
pertinent. The above ration was fed for
80 days, aud then all the lots were fed
for 81 days more on corn meal.
During the first period the bran-fed
lots did not gain very well. They took
on fat and growth very slowly. The
average daily gain for the 80 days was
for the fermented bran lot, .6l h.; un-
treated bran lot 20; bran and corn meal
lot 30; and for the corn meal lot 0S.
This was decided gain In favor OF the
corn meal and showed that souring bran
had no efec, on It's digestibility and
feeding value.
The second period brought out some
points OF interest. When corn meal was
used AS the entire ration, the lot that had
Ia the previous period been fed ferment-
ed bran with daily gain OF but 81 lb.,
now increased at the rate OF l "A lbs.
each day. Likewise the lot fed the un-
treated bran increased from 20 ID. as a
daily gain TO LA lbs. The corn and
bran lot increased from .16 ID. to .SS 10.
daily gain. And the corn meal lot in
creased from los TO IS lbs. daily gain
As long as bran MAS fed the pigs, the
daily gain and increase was small. This
WAS the case even when fed In connec-
ton with corn meal. Substantial growth
took place during the whole feeding
period with the corn meal fed lot.
The experiment clearly shows that
bran is desirable as food for pigs
under no circumstances. Ii Is too
coarse and contains too much fibre to be
profitsbly aud economically used. The
assertion that souring or fermenting
bran greatly increases It's value does not
stand the test In this experiment. In
fact, little Is gained by fermenting, for
during the period difference Of but 10
cents WAS made iu favor Of the ferment-
ed over untreated bran. While there
was a profit OF s46l In feeding bran to
pigs, the profit obtained by feeding corn
meal was o. ~, or difference OF ~ 81.
This Is too much difference to be case
OF error, aud II shows that corn meal Is
superior 10 bran as pig food, and that
the latter Is, for the purpose, undesirs-
ble and unsatisfsctory.-N. 4. Home

A "befo' de wah" matron was teach
ing one of the little darkies on her
plantation how to spell. The primer
she used was a pictorial one, and over
each word was It's accompanying pic
ture, and Polly glibly spelled 'o-x. OK"
and "b-o-x, box" etc.
But the teacher thought that she
was making too rapid progress. so she
put her hand over the picture and said,
"Polly, what does OK spellT
"Ox," answered Polly nimbly.
"How do you know that II spells OK,

"Seed his TAIL" replied the apt Polly.
