Carrots are often looked on as kind

refusing almost everything and eating
with the greatest Indifference, and car
rots are offered they are eaten at once
with much appreciation. They help to
restore the appetite and give condition
to the horse. In these respects carrots
are invaluable and may be looked on
as safe correctives.
But their usefulness extends beyond
the period of sickness and depression,
and horses in health may receive them
frequently as good food to maintain
condition and activity. When first
given their effect is little laxative,
but that is desired In many cases, and
once given regularly they act as qg IL
flying food. They are an excellent food
for itchy horses and all in bad coat, as
they are cooling to the blood and give
a glow to the hair. q
Horses of all ages may receive them,
including even the youngest backward
foals. Carrots should not be looked

Cottonseed Meal for Mich Cows.
The Mississippi Experiment Station
has made some experiments with large
feeding Of cottonseed meal to milch
cows which are interesting, as they
show that liberal ratlons of cotton seed
can be fed with no bad results.
Nbo fot e.
for period of two weeks on ration
composed of ten pounds Of cowpea
hay, twenty pounds of corn silage, four
pounds Of wheat bran, five pounds Of
cottonseed meal, and the milk during
the last two days of this period was
made into butter.
In the two weeks following, six
pounds Of the corn and cob meal was
substituted for the cotton seed, and
the butter made as before. The but
ter was sent to ST., Louis, where it
was scored as follows, on scale of
100:
Butter from the cottonseed meal,
051a pounds.
Butter from the whole cotton seed,
90 points.
Butter from the corn and cob meal,
96 points.
The finding of the station was that
as there was practically no difference
in the score, the quality Of the butter
was not injured by feeding as much
as FIVE pounds Of cottonseed meal or
six pounds Of cotton seed.
The test also showed that this cot
tonseed butter melted at 101.1 degrees
Fahrenheit, while that from cows fed
on cotton seed melted at 9SS degrees
Fahrenheit, thus showing the former to
be better shipping butter.

why, safety Matches strike ON Glass.

why, Safety Matches Strike ON Glass.
There are two reasons why ordinary
safety matches can be struck on
smooth glass. The head of the safety
match is composed of mixture Of
sulphide of anthony, chlorate Of pot
asslum and powdered glass. A COM
paratiyely small increase of tempera-
ture will cause this TO ignite Now,
glass Is bad conductor of heat, and
the rapid passage of the substance
over it raises the temperature of that
substance sufficiently for that purpose
When the glass is rough the friction
crumbles away the loosely combined
mixture before the temperature rises
to the point Of Ignition; hence, given
the composition of the match head, the
two circumstances which answer the
question are the comparative SMOOTH
ness of the glass and Its imperfect con-
ductivity of heat.
