TIE HORSES STOMACH.
II IL Small and That Is why Hay and
Other Bulky Foods should he
Fed Sparingiy.

Where hay il plentiful, as it is on
most farms, the fact that the horse has
a 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 horse to eat hay
ad libitum 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
a. 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
ties tines to which also most of the water
goes when imbibed, passing through
the stomach and of course washing out
par 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 1T
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. 1t 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 a case of ''heaves" appear in a 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

BEES AND GRAPES.
The Honey-Makers Suck the Juice of
the Ripe Fruit Only After 1t
Has Burst Open.

The question whether bees pune
ture grapes has been discussed from
various stanGpoints for a good many
years, and the conclusions reached by
most thinkers and investigators on the
subject are that bees do not puncture
grapes, but suck the juice of grapes
only after they have been burst open or
been bitten by birds. Prof. II. l.. Tay-
lor, of the Michigan experiment sta
ton, has conducted some experiments
that would seem to put the question
at rest. His observations were that
the bees worked only on the Delaware
and Lady grapes, varieties thar burst
open badly in wet seasons. Prof. Tay-
lor placed 1000 sacks on clusters of
Is different varieties of grapes SO that
the bees could not get at them. To-
ward the close of the experiment it
was found that the grapes inclosed in
sacks were suffering more than those
that were left uncovered, and many of
the grapes had burst open. The ex-
perimenter concluded that the sucking
away of the juice of the grapes by the
bees is direct benefit rather than an
injury, in that these juices are pre-
vented from flowing upon sound
grapes, and thus increasing the amount
of the injury by the cracking of the
skin.-Farmers' Voice.

floor of a neighbours summer kitchen,
and as the floor was not tight got into
the habit of coming into the room
above. The farmer captured them by
use of the trap shown in the illustra-
ton.
A small-sized dry goods box, not so
large but it can be easily carried, is
fixed with trap door, which is attached
to lever connected with a trigger in
such manner that when sprung the
door will drop. The box can be carried
with its captive to a safe distance,
where the odor will not be disturbing
and the prisoner shot or dispatched by
a trusty dog.
The illustration shows the trap ready
set. The trap door, a, is attached to q
lever, b, which rests on fulcrum at C.
The other end of the lever is fastened to
the trigger, d. The trigger passes
through the top of the box, the notch,
+, catching on the edge of the hole in
the box, which should be large enough
to give plenty of play. The trigger
stick should be long enough to reach
within an inch of the bottom of the box
where the bait, e, is fastened. A
hinged door in the side of the box
makes the last act easy-that of dis.
patching the entrapped animal. If the
box is carried carefully, there is no dan
ger of the skunk opening hostilities un.
til immediate danger threatens him.

Removing Burs from Wool.

To remove burs from the wool in
sheep, the better way is toe remove
the burs from the pasture lot before
they mature sufficiently to adhere to
the wool. Once they are in, hard
task is on to displace them. There
are three ways whereby they can bt
removed. One is to pick them out
with The fingers, holding the wool in
such 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 a pair OF
long pointed tongs and introduce
them between the sleeps body AMI
the bur, grasp firmly, then with a
cord or long toothed currycomb rake

EFFECTIVE SKUNK TRAP.
It IL Not Dimcult to Construct and
VIII Do All That Can Be
Expected of 1t.

Skunks are a nuisance about farm
house or barnyard, and where they get
into the habit of raiding the chicken
yards, must be gotten rid of at any cost.
Often they are allowed to make and oc-
cupy nests in the vicinity of the barn
or house and remain undisturbed on &C
count of the disagreeable consequences
an interference would bring about.
The average man would rather beard
the lion in his den than risk an encoun-
ter with skunk. A pair of these ami
mails made their abode beneath the

THE LITTLE COT.

There was a cabin in land
Covered by the Almighty's hand;
A savage cot It was, but He
Endowed 1t with His love for me;
And what was all that love? l wis,
The welcome of woman's kiss
1t was savage cot-I say
But Love was minister each day;
And when the lonely twilight came
Twas Love that whispered sweet my
name
So that I said: What e'er be.
1t Is Gods hand that covers me!'
1t was Gods hand for 10 you, now
There were sweet kisses on my brow -
Such kisses as the rich might deem
The memory of a golden dream
That passed, and was no more to be-
But hers and Gods love covered me!
Behold! 1t was a dream I knew
In many a garden roses grew;
That many palace and dim cot
Knew that dear love which l knew not!
Yet still sing to hill and sea;
ut is Gods hand that covers mel
