PREVENTS RAPID EATING.

The feed trough which We illustrate
below has just been patented by Geo.
E. Combs, and is intended TO prevent
the animals from eating their feed too
rapidly, and also to prevent the waste
of feed when the animal is inclined to
push it out of the trough. The new
trough is Of semi-circular shape, with
hopper. mounted on a raised base in
the center of the rear portion of the
trough. At the bottom OF the hopper
is disk which can be raised or lower
ed by the adjustment OF a thumbscrew,
thus varying the size of the discharge
opening. The feed falls through the
opening around the disk into the
trough below, and little watching on
the part of the hostler will soon show
the position to give the disk to regu-
late the discharge to the proper guam

UNCONFIRMED REPORTS.
Change In Prince IuSa's Role And
The Russian Blockade.
NOTHING IMPORTANT SOON.


Washington. Oct. 1.-The state de-
partment has not been advised officially
OF any events of more or less import
ance which are said to have occurred
in China according to the various
European reports, within the last
twenty-four hours. If Tuan has been
degraded, and if Russia contemplates
blockade of the Chinese naval ports,
the department does not know the
facts.
1t has let it be known to the Chinese
government that Tuan's promotion
would be unwelcome to this govern
ment, but it has not yet been informed
of the results of that representation.
Respecting the statement that Ching
has been discovered to be a contributor
to the Boxer cause, it is said that all
the information that the department
has been able to secure touching
Ching's personality went to show his
unvarying friendliness for the for
eigners, and upon that record he was
accepted as competent envoy.
The officials declined to say whether
or not the instructions to Minister
Minister Conger have gone forward
yet, but it is estimated that the minis
ter is fully advised by this time as to
the state departments policy. It is
said. however, that the statement may
be significant, that no developments
in the Chinese situation of,importance
are expected within the next tWO
weeks at the least. 81

the hopper is a short arm, which is
connected with a stirring device in
side of the hopper, this arrangement
being useful in starting the flow of
feed if it should become clogged in the

will move its nose about the trough to
pick up the stray grain, thus coming

it will be necessary for the people
