secretary Of states Office show that all
the ceilings and cornices, steel beams,

Let the public guess why Mr.. Hunt
advanced the idea that the contractors
removed this ceiling that they might
hoist into position the large steel box
girders that support the dome! The
fact is, these heavy steel beams and
girders We're raised from the outside
wall, and not through the main lobby.
But not content with trying to arouse
public Indignation over the alleged loss
to the State, they attempt TO lnJure
character by charging that the con-
tractors bodily took and carried away
and converted to their own use this
valuable and beautiful part Of the Old

either knew it, or could have learned it

Feed Oats in the sheaf.

One of the first things 1 learned when
a boy was that feeding sheaf oats to
horses was wasteful. However, l had
to do it last fall, and l now wish L
had saved a portion of my thrashing
bill that way. Several years ago 1 read
in Farm, Stock and Home of GER
tain farmer condemning a COW be-
cause she leaked her milk, while he had
other cows that did not pay their keep,
although they did not leak their milk,
while the first COW paid well in spite
of her leakage. Now, in the case OF
my horses, L have known them to pass
oats with their manure in so perfect
a state that they would grow, and no
scheme of driving nails in the bottom
of their feed boxes, putting in stones
or having their teeth fatted by horse
doctor had any effect on them. But,
10! when l fed them sheaf oats, not
the first vestige of an oat could be
seen in their manure. Now, what diff
ference does it make where or how the
oats are wasted? And if a few pigs
could have access to the stable when
the horses were out in the field, it
seems to me that sheaf oats would
have been the best end of the argu-
lnent.-Farm, Stock and Home.

Best Grain for Horses.

Horses nurtured on oats show met
tie which cannot be reached by the
use of any other feeding stuff. Then,
too, there is no grain so safe for horse
feeding, the animal rarely being Sc
riously injured if by accident or other
wise the groom deals out an OVersup-
ply. This safety is due in no small
measure to the presence Of the oat
hull, which causes a given weight of
grain to possess considerable volume,
because of which there is less liability
of mistake in measuring out the ra-
ton; further the digestive tract can
not hold a quantity of Oat grains suth-
cient to produce serious disorders I'm
less the horse is hard pressed for time
or has poor teeth, oats should be fed
in the whole condition. Musty oats
should be avoided.
Horsemen generally agree that new
oats should not be used, though
Boussingault conducting extensive eX-
periments with army horses, arrived at
the conclusion that new oats do not
possess the injurious qualities attrib-
uted to them.-Prof. W. A. Henry.

ORIGIN OF PREsBYTERIANIsM.

Rev. Archibald A. Murphy CIaimH
Apostolic Succession for the Church.
From the New York Times.
New Brunswick, Feb. S.-Apostolic
succession was claimed for the Pres
byterian Church by the Rev. Archi-
bald A. Murphy yesterday at the Sec
ond Presbyterian Church. 1t was
shown, he, said that when the first
missionaries from Rome went to Great
Britain they found Christianity. al
ready established among the Celts of
Wales and Scotland, having come from
their Gallo ancestors, to whom St.
Paul wrote his celebrated epistle
st. Patrick" continued the preach
er, was a Scotchman, a 'patrician,'
as his name implies, and he carried
the Gospel into Ireland, but st. CO.
lumba, an Irishman, founded the cele-
brated monastery of Iona, on the west
coast of Scotland. This monastery of
Iona was a beacon of learning during
the Middle Ages. During the Middle
Ages also the Church in Scotland was
called 'Chuldee,' while just before the
Reformation the 'Chuldees' gave place
to the 'Lollards.'
Thus the Apostolic succession of
our old Presbyterian Church is easily
traced back through the Kirk of Scot
land, the 'Chuldees' of the Middle
Ages, and the Celtic settlers in Great
Britain to their ancient Galatian an
cestors, among whom, as we very well
know, the Holy Apostles themselves
founded the Church"

simple Kicking Cure.

Many horses have an ugly habit of
kicking when in their stalls. and ap-
parently no method has yet been found
by which they can be effectually cured
of this habit. Here, however, is a
plan which was recently tested in Ger
many and which is said to have prov
en- effective in every case; All that is
necessary is to hang a bag of sand or
gravel from the ceiling of the stable
in such a manner that the bag will be
a little distance behind where the re-
fractory horse is standing. When he
kicks he will strike the bag. and in
return will receive a smart blow from
it, which he will remember. 1t may
take few days to impress upon his
mind that he will always be rewarded
for his unmannerly conduct en- this
manner. but unless he is exceedingly
stupid he will quickly learn the lesson,
and then the bag may be removed. 1t
is asserted that a horse once cured i'm
this manner will never again think of
kicking, but whether this is true or
not, time alone can tell.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-02-22
A Cruel Practice.

A lively argument against docking is
that advanced by Bill Nye, who says:
THE tenderest portion of a horses
body is that quarter easily defended
by long tail, but entirely out of
reach of a docked horse. L cannot
bear to look at a crazed animal beat
ing the air wildly with his pathetic
stump, while the flies are stinging him.
L cannot be patient with those who fol-
low this wicked custom in order that
they may be considered fashionable.
The man who does this, knowing the
facts regarding it, is the man who
pulled flies to pieces when a boy, and
if his wife really indorses it, her fam
lily ought to have the coffee analyzed
every morning. And how can a dock
ed horse be regarded as beautiful? How
would George Washington look in mar
BILE riding a mutlated horse? Does any
great sculptor ever put a hero on a
bobtailed horse?" Harry Smith, the
Worcester (Mass) horseman, lays the
blame to the whim of womankind, who
insist on the fashion being followed in
this particular.
