the completion of which occupied 81

which the gay monarch used TO visit

Sugar as a Horse Food.

An odd discovery abru, horse feed
ing has been made In Argentina in
the recent campaign of the govern
ment against the revolutionists. So
many horses fell Ill in consequence of
the bad roads and heavy transporta-
ton that the veterinarians didn't
know what to do about 1t.
To supply food which would give
greater endurance, ono of them made
the experiment of adding little
sugar to the horses rations. II has
been so successful that two ounces
of sugar daily are given to every
horse.
The horses last longer and do more
work, and some which had become
useless have even gained strength and
