DRINKING MORE PULOUE.
Mexico City Gets Away with 500 900
Liters Every Day.

The consumption of puique in Mexico
city is rapidly increasing. and the haul
ing of the drink is becoming one of the
principal sources of revenue on number
of lines entering the city.
On nearly every railroad entering the
city special pulQue train is run into the
city daily, and many of the regular
freight trains carry large numbers of
cars containing the popular drink
During the month of June three rail-
roads, the Hidalgo, the Mexican and the
Interoceanic, carried into the city 3d.
SCI barrels and 334 skins full of the
pulque gathered within radius of sixty
miles of the city. The National, the
Central and the smaller lines brought in
an amount probably half as great.
Allowing that the population of Mex
leo city is 100000 men. women and chill
dren, the quantity of pulque brought
into the city daily is sufficient to supply
almost two liters to every individual. Do
you drink your share? During the month
of June 14.9S5.290 liters of pulque were
brought into the city, as in one barrel
there are 250 liters and in one skin 80
liters. During each day of the month an
average of 14S,263 liters was brought to
the city.
The amount thus reckoned is exclusive
of the pulque brought to the city in
wagons and on muleback from the near

4 We are frequently asked what causes
hair-balls. These concretiQns are pro-
duced by the animals licking them
selves or other animals. As a result
Of this habit the hairs swallowed are
carried around by the contractions of
the stomach and gradually assume the
form Of a small pellet or ball. These
increase in size as fresh quantities Of
hair are introduced into the stomach,
which become adherent to the surface
Of the hair-ball. These hair-ball are
found most frequently in the reticulum
or second stomach, although sometimes
In the rumen. In calves, hair-balls are
generally found in the fourth stomach.
There are no certain symptoms by
which we can determine the presence
Of hair-balls, and therefore no treat
ment can be recommended for such
cases. The walls of the reticulum have
in some cases been found transfxed
with nails or pieces Of wire, and yet
the animals during life had not shown
any symptoms Of indigestion, but had
died from maladies not involving the
second stomach.-St Louis Globe-Dem-

Cntys in Winter

If cows begin to fall off in milk dur
ing the winter, after being given an
abundance of grain and hay, it is an in,
dication that the quarters are cold or
that they require some kind of succu-
lent food. Where ensilage is used, il
serves as green food, but on farms
where no silo is filled the food may be
varied by allowing sliced carrots or
turnips, though the best results can be
secured by first cooking the turnips and
thickening the mess with bran When
fed warm the COW will relish the mess
highly, and the change Of food will i'm
prove the appetite.

Value of Weight in Horses

Every hundred pounds additional
weight in the case of a heavy draft
horse IS worth from % to so cents
more per hundledweight when making
sale. A farmer is in position to feed
as cheaply as any professional feeder.
To. sell well on the market horses must
be fat, sleek and we'll groomed. The
buyers demand fat. If one has time
to give proper exercise and light work,
something may be added to the value
of the horse, and it will be ready to
go right into the heavy work Of a city
buyer. A little additional grooming,
together with blanketing, for month
will also add a good bit to the selling
price.
