Gen. Smiths Condition Causes
Alarm Among Friends.

Portsmouth. o., Aug A.-General
Jacob III, Smith collapsed last night. and
today his condition is such as TO greatly
alarm HIS relatives and friends. The
general has been In bad physical condition
since before the court martial proceed
ings, but 1t was expected that the sea
voyage and rest here would rapidly re-
store him to his oldtime vigor.
The hardships which he underwent so
weakened him that he was unable to
withstand the severe nervous strain OF
subsequent events. and the old warrior
has broken down and is in a dangerous
condition.
A low type of malarial fever prevailed
In Samar when he was there. General
Smith hoped 10 escape this fever or at
least To throw of its most virulent fea-
lures I'm this climate. This he has been
unable to do. Last night he spent sleep
lessy. nervous In the extreme. This
morning n high fever set in accompanied
by bowel and stomach disorders. Doc
tors were sent for and everything pos
sible done.
Today the patient shows very little
Improvement His nervous system seems
completely wrecked. He Is unable to re-
tain any nourishment whatever and his
fever il unabated. The generals wife
and mother are both with him constant
".
Tho aged mother holds up bravely and
by her cheeriness and devoted attention
seeks TO revive the latent visor Of her
sick son. The sudden illness has COM
pletely upset the generals plans to at
once get TO work upon his Official re-
port.

How to Feed Horses.

has contributed a very valuable
article on the subject of feeding
horses, the leading points of
which should interestevery horse
owner. The food of all ANIMALS
should be of such variety 'as to
contain all elements necessary to
build up the physical system.
One kind of food alone is not
sufficient. The young are nour-
ished with a milk dice, which
alone con aims all the ingredients
in proper proportions to nourish
and promote a balanced growth
of al; parts of the muse ular, anat-
omical and physical organization.
The adult requires severa; kinds
of food for maintenance of health
and high condition. as all parts of
the body require nolrishment.
1t is bad economy to feed poor

place quality. Poor quality of
food is not easily digested, fire.
quently causes collie and keeps
the animal in poor condition.
The quantity is governed largely
by quality and varies according
to the age and size of the horse.
The same animal requires less
food when idle than when en-
ployed at hard work, and owners
must govern the quantity &c.
cordingly, The average amour,
of oats at feed is four quarts
when the horses are performing
hard service. In hot weather
oats are very much better ra.
ton than corn, but in the winter
corn in small quantities can be
fed 10 advantage, as the carbon
aceous ingredients help to keep
up the neat of the body and add
fat to the animal.
The most economical ration is
cut teed, mixed with ground oats
and bran, and should be fed if
possible once or twice a week in
warm weather and oftener in win
ter. Succulent foods, such as
grass, green corn stover and
bran mashes assist in keeping
the stomach in condition and aids
the digestion. Salt should not be
omitted, as it tones the appetite
and improves the general health.
1t can be given in mall quantities
in mashes or in the ration of
grain Some advise keeping a
lump Of rock salt where the horse
can eat it at will, the animal in
