Give Your Horse More Water.


Water should be before horses at
all times when indoors, and at least
no meal should ever be offered and
no night-lights ever turned out until
every animal has had his chance at
as many brimming buckets as he will
take, says the Outing magazine for
March. The shy drinker may be
tempted by many artihces. like mixing
q little molasses. or salt, or oatmeal.
or naxseed Jelly. or bran. etc.. etc..
with the water. and constantly vary.
ing the flavor. Horses may even have
all they want right after feeding, pro.
vidsd they have not been deprived
Of water for some time previous. Man~
shy drinkers, like shy feeders. who
are generally nervous, take all nou
ishment best at night when It is daI X
and quiet, and morning finds the
empty manger and bucket which It
had seemed, by day. almost nauseated
them.

Southern sand.cIay Roads.

1t is claimed that "the building OF
sand-clay roads has passed the expert
mental stage, and 1t is no longer a
question of doubtful procedure.
"The important things to be borne in
mind are thorough mixing to the satu-
ration point, and then properly shaping
and rolling the road. This mixing Is
usually done by the travelling public.
This is the critical period in the con-
struction of sand-clay road, because
care must be taken to secure an even
amount of pudding, so that all the
Jumps of clay shall be broken and sat
urated with sand to depth OF to 10
in. II this can be done, and the road is
properly crowned as 1t dries, there can
be no doubt about the result being em-
inently satisfactory.
"This mixing might be done by the
use of plows and harrows when the
clay is wet, but 1t is customary to let
teams and vehicles accomplish it. 1t Is
true that the condition of the road be-
comes worse for while during the
pudding operation; but after this is
effected and sufficient sand has been
added relief is permanent"

Good Roads In New York.

H. A. Van Aistyne, New York state
engineer, says: "The immediate finan-

means the only benefits to be derived
from their construction. 1t would he
difficult to mention all the advantages
to this state arising from system OF
good roads properly constructed and
maintained, such as is possessed by
France. Every year the proportion OF
people comprising the immense city
populations which seeks temporary
or permanent home in the country, Is
increasing. If the rural districts OF
New York are open to, and made ac-
cessible, attractive and desirable for
the city people in search OF country
homes, a large proportion of these peo-
pie with their money will be induced
to come to New York state instead OF
to New Jersey, New England, Euro
pean countries and other objective
points where they now go In search OF
health, pleasure and the various attrac-
tions of rural life"

prison Labor in Read-Maklne.

This use of convict labor for road
building is extending throughout the
country and is wise step in civiliza-
tion. Time was when convicts were
here in "durance vile" in idleness, but
humanity teaches that punishment
should be corrective instead of vindic-
tive, and reformation is now the
watchword. There is, however, stig-
ma attached to punitive labor, and how
long will it be that self-respecting
farmers will put themselves on level
of such men and insist on working out
their road tax?-Good Roads.

LEGAL PROVERBS.
OF the Chinese and What the Peou
liar Expressions Signify.

There Is no surer test of real feel
ings of a people than their proverbial
sayings, those gems which on the
stretched foreflnger of all Time sparkle
forever" That China is no exception
TO this rule might have been supposed
even If we had no direct proof, says
the North China Herald Proverbial
expressions are very common in chi
ma. Dr. Arthur Smith says that COM
mon talk" the nearest approach TO
'proverb" in Chinese, is literally in
the mouth of every one, from the EN-
peror upon his throne to the woman
grinding at the mill"
Native proverbs relating to legal af-
fairs divide themselves roughly into
three classes-first those more or less
common to all people. and dealing
with that 'once bitten twice shy" sort
of wisdom which leads man to put
up with evils rather than to go to law
Such, for example, are the following:
If one family has lawsuit ten fam
lilies are involved in calamity.
III but one word of information
against a man gets into court, nine
tullocks cannot drag II out again.
Let householders avoid litigation.
for once go 10 law and there Ia moth
ing but trouble.
Win your lawsuit and lose your
money.
Instances of this kind might be
multiplied. But we must pass on to
the mandarins; and here 1t may be
said that though the majority Of the
proverbial sayings are not compli-
ness to the good that a good man may
do even in an official capacity, while
others give pointed advice. g.. "Ney-
er beat II you must fine; If you do,
all fines decline" Most however, as
IS natural deal with the seamy side.
The following are few specimens:
No punishment on the beLch, no law
below IL.
Deceive, but don't insult a manda-
lin.
Mems hearts are like iron, and tho
rule OF the mandarins like a furnace.
