FEEDING WORKING HORSES IN
WINTER.

After the ground freezes up in the
fall, many farmers have not enough
work to give their horses proper ex-
ercise and particularly when horses
are first confined TO the stables. they
have trouble with swelled legs and
other arrangements This state Of af-
fairs may usually be avoided by adj
justing the food to the changed con.
ditions. Horses that do little work
during the winter do not require much
grain II they are getting hay and we
have kept horses in excellent condi-
ton and have fed only small amount
Of grain where they were fed straw in
stead ci hay. A fair proportion Of
the winter grain ration should con
sist Of bran. Bran, in addition to hay-
ing a rather high nutrient value. acts
as mild laxative and keeps the d.
gestiye system in a healthy condition.
An occasional mess of boiled grain is
also fine thing for farm horses in
winter. Boiled barley is very much
relished, but when it is not at hand,
we use oats. We would feed mess
Of boiled grain at least once a week
and have fed it as often as once per
day. Carrots are excellent for horses
during the winter and most horses
are very fond Of them. They have a
beneficial effect on the system and
add succulency to the ration. Under
favorable conditions carrots yield a
very large crop and though they may
require considerable labor In growing
them. II once given a trial. farmers
would not care TO be without them.

Visitors to a quaint little church IL
England observe curious relic in the
shape Of a high stool with a leather
top like a saddle. The paris clerk
shows not a little pride in this relic
and tells its story with relish. During
the seventeenth and eighteenth cen
turtles the country parsons we're ac-
customed to spend much Of their time
hunting with their country squires.
0ftentimes the fox got more attention
than the sermon on the following
Sunday. Such was the case with the
parson who left the saddle stool be-
hind him as a relic Of the days Of fox
hunting parsons. He was a good deal
more at home in the saddle than in the
pulpit, so in order to Introduce some
Of the life and spirit into his dis
courses which he felt while in the
hunting field, the reverend gentleman
had this saddle stool made. 1t was
placed in the pulpit before the parson
mounted the steps. Once astride this
hobby. the parson was able to reach
ia mu'% higher degre Of enthusiasm
and eloquence than he could have un-
mounted.

yICKERS IS RELEASED.

Holyoke, Aug. 11.-Rube yickers is now free to play baseball with any team in organized baseball that will nave him, or to continue his career in independent ball if he sees fit. A check for s550 from George F. Whit. ney of Burlington, Vt, was received yesterday morning by Treasurer A. F. DeWolf of the Holyoke club, making total of $500 received by Holyoke for the pitchers release.
 Nickers plans to remain with Burl. 1ngton until the end of the season there. After Labor Day he claims he IS going with the Detroit Americans. He has already given $50 to Treasur- CT DeWolf as forfeit money if he had not lived up to his agreement to have the balance on hand today. Treasur- CT DeWolf lost no time in cashing the check
 It is through Jack Warner, the vet eran catcher, that Rube gets his chance to work for Detroit. Warner jumped from the St Louis Cardinals some time ago. and went to Burling- ton. where he has been catching yick- CTS. The Robinsons sold him to Armour last week. and since he join cd the Tiger band he has sung tie praises of the jumping Holyoker in William Armour's ear.

LUSH MAY. NOT PLAY.

After spending few days in Platts
 burg, N. r., Billy Lush has returned to New Haven and rejofned his fam. fly. He has no intention of being blacklisted by the National associa- ton for playing with independent clubs. and he will not play with Plattsburg. He does not expect to return to the Cleveland team. There are said to be several reasons which have induced Lush to make this de- cision. His Yale contract calls for his appearance September %, to take charge of the fall baseball practice. and he could hardly do himself justice in the American league in the short time that remains. Then. too. he feels that he is not in the best of condition this summer, and would rather loaf than play ball. The Yale coach says he is on perfectly good terms with the Cleveland management and that there is no trouble over the salary question.

 What is Sunday for?' he went on, If you can't pass it peaceably: You can't make a man go to church by kicking him." Mr Sargent said that he didn't mean to be understood to be in favor of Sunday base ball on the green, but he did believe that no harm could result in letting the boys play and the crowds see the game on a lot outside the central part of the city.
 Peter ]. McNerney. one of the City lea gue officials. said that the teams would not play ball on Sunday any more.
 We are just waiting. We want 10 see how honest Mir Mossman is." he said. We want to see if he is going to stop golf playing on Sunday and other acts which he deems to be Sab bath breaking. Captain 0'keefe of the Dixwell avenue police station. says that since we have been playing base ball the moral tone in that part of the city has been improved 15 per cent and that there are fewer cases of infoxica- tios on the streets

Ruhlin and Mccormick Will Decide Tonight hcCloskey Was Whippe ] Open Front Shirt Fight. CT.

I There is no lack of interest in the I twenty round bout between Gus Ruh- lin and Jim Mccormick of Texas at
 the Colma A. C.. Colma. Cal, tonight. ! Although no championship is involved
 the affair may be considered an im- 1 portant one, for the victor will sooner O: later receive chance to meet Mar win Hart. who is regarded as the hea- vyweight champion at present. The public knows very little about McCor- mick, consequently his chances of beat ing the Akron Giant are not taken at aii seriously. He is reported as being a husky, strong heavyweight. but whether he can cope successfully with Ruhlins experience and cleverness is question.
 It is predicted in many quarters that Mccormick will some day he the hea. vyweight champion. John l.. Sullivan, who is manager of the Texan. thinks Mccormick is the real thing in the pug" line. He declares that he Is q scientific two hand fighter and capable of knocking out man without much of an effort. If he possesses any of these enalities Ruhlin will certainly be the man to bring them out
 In New York betting on the fight has not been vigorous. Ruhlin is looked upon to have such clear sailing that ihe patrons of the ring who are invariably down with q bet on hea- syweight scrap are afraid to speculate. several small wagers on the number of rounds the contest is expected to go have been made. The popular guess is about six rounds. with Ruhlin the vic tor. of course. Ruhlin is past 30. while Mccormick is still in his twenties. Ruhlin is the fayorite at to 1.
 In point of condition there is not much 10 choose between the pair. Both have been hard at work for weeks. Ruhlin has everything to lose in this mill. If he is whipped it means his relegation to the ranks of has beens But if he is successful he will get a chance 10 face Hart some time next month. probably on Labor day As the game is in need of good heavy weights the outcome of to-nighf's essay will be awaited with good deal of interest
