We find among the best of horsemen
great divergence of opinion as to the
feed most suitable for the horse. The
writer remembers attending q meeting
of horse breeders where the question
was discussd as to whether corn stow
er should be fed to horses. Some were
sure that it was too wide a ration and
produced horse without spirit, while
other breeders declared that corn stow
er and corn grain were just the kinds
OF feed to make good animals. The
same difference of opinion is shown in
different sections of the country and
In foreign countries. Horse buyers in
Belgium are said to willingly pay
larger price for horses raised there
than for those imported from the
United States, arguing that the i'm
ported horses are produced on food too
heavy in starch, while their own horses
are produced on the most valuable
OF homegrown grains, such as barley
and oats. Just how much of this mo-
ton is based on prejudice we cannot
say. Certain it is that in all parts OF
the world where the horse is raised
and used, the people have very fixed
Ideas of their own as to the food best
adapted to him. The Arabian feeds
his horse on milk and balls made Of
bread and meat, not infrequently CIV
ing him eggs as an added luxury. In
the West Indies corn and sugar cane
form the principal articles of horse
feed, sometimes with the addition OF
considerable quantities Of molasses.
This latter as a horse feed has been
quite extensively experimented with by
some OF the Southern stations. But In
all countries and in all sections of this
country grass in some form is the
foundation of feeding.
The successful use of feed depends
on the feeder. Nothing can take the
place of intelligence in him. Some
men do not seem to be able to feed
horse successfully even with bins full
of the best grains. They overfeed or
underfeed, feed too much or too little
of certain kinds of feed and get poor
results. We have seen a farmer pre-
pare horses for work in the spring by
pouring into them timothy hay and
corn. The result was that the horses
by spring were fat and sleek, but had
little energy. We have seen other
men prepare horses by giving them
carefully balanced food, of which the
grain part was oats. The horses SO
prepared for work were not over fat
at time of beginning the spring work.
but they were full of life, and it was a
pleasure to handle them. There are
many farmers that can become good
feeders by study and observation,
while there are others that have no
adaptability for such work. The eff
feet of feed on the horse cannot be told
by the increase in weight The factor
of energy is one that must be taken
into consideration.

Care of Mnk uten.iIs.

The United States Department of
Agriculture gives the following advice
as to the care of milk utensils:
1. Milk utensils for farm use should
be made of metal and have all joints
smoothly soldered. Never allow them
to become rusty or rough inside.
2. Do not haul waste products back
to the farm in the same cans used for
delivering milk. When this is un-
avoidable. insist that the skim milk or
whey tank be kept clean.
8. Cans used for the return of skim
milk or whey should be emptied and
cleansed as soon as they arrive at the
farm.
4. Clean all dairy utensils by first
thoroughly rinsing them in warm
water; then clean inside and out with
brush and hot water in which a
cleaning material is dissolved; then
rinse and. lastly, sterilize by boiling
water or steam. Use pure water only.
5. After cleaning. keep utensils in
verted in pure air, and sun If possible,
until wanted for use.

often lined with sour and putrefying

take little buttermilk out of a cistern

milk are left so until evening as rule.
Then it is fed to the swine and the
cans are washed, usually poorly be-

the cans and covered. The odors and

Feeding Fowls IN Transit.

In shipping poultry short distances
no provision need be made for food
and water; for long distance ship
ments attach a cup in one corner OF
coop at such a height that the chaff
or other material in the bottom of the
coop will not get into it,-for feed tie
bag of mixed grain to the coop, or IL
the coop has canvas sides and only
a few fowls in it, sew a pocket upon
one side (outside) to contain the
grain. This makes it much more con-
venient for the express attendant than
IL he has to unite and tie a bag at each
feeding. Il is also a good plan to put
few beets or turnips in the coop, ana.
IL there is likelihood of the fowls be-
ing confined for some time, piece or
two of bone with meat on them cooked
quite dry so that fowls can pick 1t on
only in small particles. These things
help to occupy them, and may prevent
their picking each others feathers or

Up to the present time there has
been a keen demand for the services

A Most Astounding Proposition.

In the ssue Of December 2Oth we made
some comment ON the arbitrary rule adopted
by some local editors, excluding all reports
OF heavy. weight hogs butchered in the sew.
eral localities we endeavored to place the
successfully fatteped hog on the list of hon
orable mention along with the big yield of
wheat, the prolific hen, the speedy colt and
other products of a well directed, intelligent
energy In the farming pursuit.
Tho Carroll Record being one that has
erected hog proof fence around its local
columns, naturally attacks our position doing
so in half column editorial. In this are
laid down several novel propositions, bear.
ing on the subject of greatest interest to the
journalist, publicity: for instance, we read
This publicity idea has been in force, to our
personal knowledge, for 80 years, without
any noticeable Improvement in this direction
That may be a safe proposition to make in
some localities, but that there has been no
improvement in the hog, due to careful
breeding is a claim that dare not be made
that discussion, comparison, exposition and
other methods of gaining publicity have been
adopted to effect such improvement and
have effected it, may scarcely be disputed
II IS the avenue thus afforded for the diff
fusion of information, the resultant of exper.
mentatlon, that the local newspaper may
lay claim to being it's special province, its
proper object, its chief service: to report the
satisfactory fattening of hog is to open the
way to the inquiry, what particular inter
breeding of strains gives the best resuta'

ly answered, is worth the Information gained

[CoMMUNICATED.

On Dec. Goth Chief Judge James McSherry
filed an important opinion sustaining the
demurrer to the declaration in the suit Of the
State of Maryland for the use of John W.
Weddle against the County School Commits
sioners Of Frederick county. The suit was
brought for $1,000 damages for the death of
Lille Weddle the infant daughter of John
w. Weddle who the plaintiff claims, while
playing on the school house grounds of the
Blue Mountain school near Catoctn Furnace
on October 4th, 1899 ran against single
strand of wire on the rear of the grounds,
put up for the protection oflhc same, during
Sunday school festival held some time be-
fore, on account Of which the child fell back
wards and sustained injuries from which she
died the next day. The Court in its opinion
in substance said that q quasi corporation
such as the Board of the County School
Commissioners could not be sued in an action
for damages at common law and as the legis-
lature gave the school board no power to
levy taxes and raise money, only gave them
certain funds for specific purposes, clearly
set out and for the School Commissioners to
appropriate them for any other purpose
would be breach of trust; the legislature
did not therefore intend that they should be
sued for any other purposes than the statute
contemplated, and as suits Of this kind were
not contemplated by the statute this action
could not therefore be brought under the
statute and the demurrer must therefore he
