THE HORSE.
Hay Feeding According to Science and.
Good Sense.

TOSOlu8 VNSOtSisu9E " OSsSssSo 49,
Good Sense.
No horse requires more than one full
feed Of hay once in twenty-four hours.
A horse to be in perfect health should
have the stomach emptied Of the pre-
vious meal for two or three hours be-
fore he is given another. If ,such is
not the case, digestion will not take
place in perfect manner, and disease
will likely result. There is a remarka-
BILE sympathy between the stomach
and the lungs because Of the fact that
the same nerve trunk supplies nerve
force to both organs. When the stom-
ach is deranged from improper feed
ing the lungs are liable to become
sympathetically affected. and heaves
often result
Care should also be taken that a
horse should be fed no dusty or musty
hay This dust is as light as air, and
the horse in breathing draws it right
into the lung tissue with every breath,
and this substance. being an irritant.
is very prone to develop heaves. Ii
no better hay can be obtained the dust
should be laid by sprinkling with wa
ter, when the horse will not breathe
it, but it will be swallowed with the
feed and proba bly, do him no harm. But
when at all possible only bright, clean
hay, free from dust, should be fed tO
! horses
| Again, no horse is in fit condition
! for active exercise with the stomach
distended with hay because the stom-
| ach. situated as it is right behind tha
lung space. if full bulges forward into
the chest to such an extent that the

THE SWlNEHERD.

IS Individuals may hold the opinion that
the smooth type refined hog is the
most profitable Oh account of the good
use to which heputs his food and his
early maturing qualities, but if we find
that 50 or 90 per cent of the farmers
who feed hogs for market favor Il lar
ger type, showing a little more size
and possibly little more roughness.
then we believe that the views of the
majority ought to be considered and
ought to influence men in their breed
ing operations. We have no fault to
find with the quality as applied to
swine The more Of it we can get the
better, and yet there is good reason
for not sacrificing scale in order to get
quality.-Swine Grower.
Troubles Of the Piglets.
The young pig will not live long be-
fore it will be troubled with worms.
Some are not troubled to the extent
that is noticeable and others so badly
that it is very noticeable III the loss OF
appetite, dead appearance Of the coat
and in the general unthrifty condition.
4 = AS uioAlACn -lAo1 O4tSi itppt-tiS III
pigs of from sixsto twelve weeks oil
is almost always caused by worms,
and when they are destroyed the
trouble disappears at once. Worms
are the cause of more troubles in. pigs
and young hogs than is often sup
posed. They get sick and die and we
cal! it something else, when the truth
Is that worms did it. For treatment
we have found. nothing better than
santonine. Take one ounce, dissolve in
warm water, mix with slop and feed
to seyenty-fiye to a hundred head of
pigs, depending on the age Of the pigs.
Feed it the first thing in the morning
and repeat the dose i'll three or four
days.-Harvey Jordan.
Spraying Hogs.
! A hog covered with. lice cannot do
( good work in the feed lot. II have.
tried different kinds Of remedies. At
present | use the knapsack sprayer and
spray hogs with crude Oil. It does not
take so much help, which these days

spray them two or three times, and
utter that spray once Ii slx weeks.

How to Feed. Alfalfa Hay.

In order to prevent undue waste
when feeding alfalfa to pigs the hay
should be fed in a Slated rack placed
in a fat bottomed trough. The spaces
between the Stats should snot exceed
2.5 inches, and the trough should ex-
tend at least eighteen inches beyond
the rack in every direction. The
coarse stems left by the pigs may be
fed to stock cattle. ri. ]. Vernon.

dence. Rev. Henry Thomas. rector Of
Pinkney Memorial Church, Hyattsville.
will oficiate, and the interment Will be IN
Rock Creek Cemetery.
Although Capt Bartlett had been III.
following an acute attack Of indigestion,
which he suffered about a month ago. and
had been in the care OF trained nurse
since. the end came Unexpectedly. for on
Monday he had been pronounced so much
better as TO no longer need an attendant
In fact. he was we'll enough TO have gone
TO his real estate Office. near his home.
when the fatal attack came upon him.
BY an effort he was able 10 reach home.
but found no one there except an aged
! colored servant, whom he sent for a ply
sician. Before aid arrived. however. he
had expired. His wife, Mrs. Jemima
Bartlett and a daughter. Mrs. C d.
MacutheOn, survive him.
Capt Bartlett was born in Warsaw, N
Y. on November 5. 1874. At the outbreak
Of the civil war he enlisted at Buffalo,
and was wounded in action at the battle
of the Wilderness and taken prisoner.
After being in Libbey Prison for seven
months. he was exchanged and ordered 20
Texas as a lieutenant. Later he was bre-
vetted captain.
He was engaged in newspaper work at
Corpus Cristi. Tex. after tho war. until
he came 20 this city In 1867 10 become
foreman Of the specification division OF
the Government Printing ONCE. From
1873 until 1887 he served in the Patent Of
fee as an examiner. leaving there 10 en-
gage I'm business for himself as a solicitor
Of patents. in which he enjoyed a large
practice. About this time he moved 10 the
village OF Brentwood. and has since been
a prominent factor in its development
With Lieut. Zalinsky, the captain was
the joint inventor OF the dynamite gun,
two Of which were successfully used In
the recent war with Spain. He was a
member OF Warren Post, c. A r., OF
Hyattsville
Thomas Winfield Scott. an intimate
friend Of Capt. Bartlett. in speaking OF
some OF his characteristics. said he was
a man OF positive nature kindly disposi-
ton, and philanthropist TO a marked de-
gree. He was an ardent temperance ad-
vocate. an effective writer and speaker.
and his untimely end Is a distinct loss 10
the community.

THEODORE III CLUB.
New York Artists Are Pushing
Roosevelt for denomination.

Roosevelt for denomination.
A new and novel bearing upon the pos
sioility OF another term for Theodore
Roosevelt originated with eight promi-
nent artists Of New York.
These artists. Robert Henri, Everett
Shinn, w. J. Glackens. Morris Prender-
CAST, John Sloan. Ernest Lawson. George
b. Lukes, and Arthur B. Davies. have
dropped for the nonce their pencils and
brushes and gone into politics. The re-
suit Of their efforts is the organization
OF Theodore III Club the object of
which is 10 keep President Roosevelt IN
the White House for another four years
after March 4. The campaign Of this
club has been planned FOR the most part
In Mr.. Shinn'S studio. and its meetings
likewise have usually occurred there.
Ingenious methods are the watchword
OF this club. puzzle-the third-term
puzzle-was devised by Mr. Shinn. It is
tin toy about six inches in length, a
sort Of cartoon of the President. being
adorned with the inevitable eyeglasses
and the regulation smile Under the eye
glasses will be found cavities in which
grooves are inconveniently fixed, and
lead bullets about a quarter Of an inch
ject Of the puzzle is 10 worry the bullets
into the depressions which represent the
center of the eyes. That is all there
is 10 II. But Il Is a lot more difficult
than one would think at first glance.
The question Is, Does II look like a
third term?" Various expressions are
brought to the tin countenance of the
President In the working out OF this puz-
zle. but when the bullets are at last IN
the proper state OF repose II is meant 20
convey the idea that there is no question
about a third term.
This Is the first OF a series OF similar
devices or puzzles that will be sent
around by the Theodore III Club during
the time intervening between now and
the Republican convention.
George Calvert, the miniature artist
is secretary Of the club. and a very
wide-awake one he IS. too.
