NOTES ABOUT HORSES.

Ground feed is better for the grow
ing colt the first year than whole
grain.
Blood, food, care and training are
the requisites for producing a first
class horse.
Flax seed facilitates the work of
making the coat OF the horse smooth
and glossy, but it is not the whole
thing. Elbow grease needs to be mixed
with the Oil of the seed.
The eager demand and high prices
for big draft horses are encouraging
farmers to breed to the best draft stall
lions and grade up as fast as possible
to the heavy draft size and type.
1t should be the ambition of every
farmer to improve his horses up t o the
high market standard for the best
draft horses. Select the bred of your
choice and stick to it Grade up to the
best pure-bred stations. - Midland

Is sure OF a passport to Nodland. After
several nights of experiment to this
end the present writer decided to apply
the principle adopted by the masseurs,
who begin their manipulations "at the
point farthest from the seat of diff
Guilty" which, in the case of insomnia,
would be the feet. Lying on the right
side, with the knees together, and con-
siderably f1exed, the victim of insom-
MIA should begin to pedal bith his feet
slowly up and down, with the move
ment entirely In the ankles. The ped
aling should keep time with the ma
tural rhythm Of respiration and be con-
tlnued until it is followed by deep and
spontaneous breathing. Several peo-
pie who have tried this remedy report
that ~involuntarily deep breathing be-
gins before they have pedaled up and
down a dozen times. In obstinate
cases of insomnia the patient may
need to keep up the pedaling two or
three minutes, or even more, with in
termissions, IL necessary. The treat
ment may also be varied by moving
the feet alternately, instead of stimuli
taneously, though the latter method
has proved the more speedily effica-
cious in the cases known to the writer.
The explanation Of the result obtained
Is probably simple. The blood is
pumped from the head, and with the
removal of brain tension, with a Sc
quent deep respiration and it's result

Fatsening Horse. for Sale.

Fattening horses SO that they will
reach market in good condition for sale
is quite an important industry in some
regions, says G. f. Langworthy. For
instance, in Iowa, there are a number
of feeders who thus prepare large num-
bers of horses for the Chicago market,
and officials of the Iowa experiment sta
ton have gathered some data on the
subject. The general practice is to feed
generously and give little exercise.
With proper feeding and care, as many
as a dozen horses of a lot fed for market
have in some instances made an av-
erage gain of 3.75 pounds per head per
day. Somewhat larger gains have been
made under exceptional circumstances,
throughout a period Of 90 days.

Chamberlain has been able to meet the
responsibilities of her social position
abroad.
AS a child she was old beyond her
years, through constant companionship
with her parents and grandparents in
on the farm at Danvers.
The Danyers house was built by the
great Salem merchant, Joseph Peabody,
reverted to the son George, who in turn
left the estate to Mrs. Endicott, whose
only son. W. C. Endicott, still makes it
his summer resort.
1t was while her grandfather was at
the farm that Mrs. Chamberlain and
her father went there pleasant days on
horseback or in carriage. Many were
the family picnics.
Two beautiful gardens are connected
with the Danvers house. One was the
favorite of Mr.. Peabody, laid out in
old-fashioned style, with all the flowers
that were so well known in his child
hood. The other was designed by Mr..
Chamberlain, a sun-dial in the center.
They are kept in their original condi-
ton.
Once, when Mrs. Endicott was visit
ing her daughter in England, the gar
dener left in charge undertook to beau
tify the grounds. He changed the old
garden into a modern one with the
rarest and most fashionable plants.
Mrs. Endicott came home and immedi-
ately ordered the gardener to undo his
work.

berlain has tarried during his many Wis
