NAPOLEON'S HORSE.
Little White Arab Horse, Ridden by
French Conqueror, on Exhibition.

London, May 15.-Who could
guess from looking at this little
white, stuffed horse that long ago in
his life time he was the favorite war
horse of the great Napoleon Bona
parte? -
AS you can see by looking closely
he is smaller than the average horse,
and one would expect a war horse,
especially the favorite mount of such
a conqueror as Napoleon, to be big
and muscular.
The little white horse has just been
discovered, after having been hidden
away for forty years. 1t has been
placed on exhibition in the Musee de
IArmee in Paris, famous museum
where many thousands of tourists
and sightseers will gaze at it. Five
years or so ago it was found in a box
in an attic in the Locure. On this
box was the inscription, "A Monsieur
de Chef des Musee Imperiaux Paris,
Cheval de Napoleon l, from the Ma
tional History Society, Manchester. -
To the chief of the Imperial Museums
at Paris.
The papers of the National History
Society at Manchester were diligently
searched, and it was found that the
stuffed horse actually belonged to
Napoleon and that the great Emperor
of the French frequently rode him.
He was an Arab horse named Vizien.
If you could get near enough to the
horse you would see that there is a
peculiar mark on his left flank. That
is the monogram of Napoleon him
self, which he had branded on the
horse so that every one who saw the
animal would know that it belonged
to the Emperor Napoleon, the great
est conqueror of history.
You might get the idea from this
that Napoleon was a fine rider. From
all account Napoleon was not a good
rider and did not look well on horse
back. No doubt if automobiles had
been invented in his time he would
gladly have ridden in one, instead Of
using the little stuffed white horse,
whose picture we see.

For a Clean Town.

A committee from city council is
now making an inspection of all
premises in the town, in order to see
the actual sanitary condition of the
town. These gentlemen can be
counted on to do their full duty, and
they are resolved that Bamberg shall
be clean city, as they realize that
this is necessary for the health of the
citizens. Remember, if these gentle
men should get after you about the
condition of your premises, they are
doing it for the good of the town,
and you should follow out their di-
rections... :.

CricketS.

Silence had fallen between them in
the dusk of the porch; through the
warm air of late summer came the
strident notes of the katydids and
the voices of the choir at practice up
at the church.
"They are real musical tonight, -
said he, thinking of the choir.
Eyes, tits said they do it with their
hind legs" replied she, thinking Of
the crickets.-To-day's Magazine.

A FEEDING METHOD.
How a Canadian DaIryman Gets Good
Results.

A Canadian dairyman who marketed
97,240 pounds OF milk testing 3.5 per
cent, from herd of but IL Holstein
cows last year. tells of his feeding
method thus:
In the morning the first thing we
do is to milk the cows; then the roots
and meal are fed, after which the
straw or hay. The water is always
before them. At noon we give them q
feed of cut corn, In the evening, say
five or half-past, We again milk, and
the roots and meal are again fed fol
lowed by straw or char. This diet
Is continued until about the first OF
March, when hay is fed In place OF
straw. The meal consists usually OF q
mixture Of barley and oats.
When necessary to supplement this
some bran is added, together with
something stronger, such as low grade
-four or ground wheat, which brings
the mixture to about the same weight
as the barley and oats. The milking
COWS receive Of this about a gallon
each, twice q day. l find that even
yet my cows are not fed to their full
capacity, as when given a feed oi
meal at noon II makes considerable
increase In the amount Of milk.

y has become the order of the day in
the poultry world. Mr.. Fuller says:
A proper amount of light and mus
lin to each COW is three square feet of
he former and two square feet of the
latter The best muslin is Az" mus
lin--that is, Az yards to the pound.
A heavy muslin has not sufficien
meshes and does not answer the pur-
pose as we'll as the one recommended.
If there are enough windows in the
barn, the best plan is to take out the
lower sash Of every window or every
other one, according to the number
and In place of the removed SASH tack
on the muslin. This is best done by
taking 1t on frame which just fits
the window, or 1t may be tackled at the
sides, bottom and top of the window
and cleats put on to make It firm. Util-
ize the windows on the south side,' by
preference.
We must bear in mind that we can
not afford to sacrifice the light for the
ventilation; and that any window that
has the muslin sheet Is not so light as
where 1t is all glass. II there are not
enough windows In the barn to Justify
using half Of each for the muslin, and
1t is wooden barn, cut holes through

mind that, whatever you do in provid-
ing this ventilation, you must have

your barn is a bank barn and you have
no other means of getting ventilation,
cut the holes in the ceiling and tack
on your muslin. OF course you will
not want 1t to run up into your hay.
A great many barns are ventilated
by taking the air near the ceiling up
into the hay loft and distributing 1t
through a chute into the hay NOW,
thereby very often saturating the hay
with noxious gases. II the cows are
suffering from some contagious dis
case, such as tuberculosis or abortion,
the germs are carried into and lodge
on the hay fed to farm animals.
The muslin window system will not
cost more than from two to three
cents per COW. have seen a great
many barns ventilated in this way,
and the results are astonishing. have
seen 1t beneficially used even where
the King system was installed In
parts Of the barn where 1t was damp.
l have seen 1t In stables In the depth
OF winter where the thermometer went
40 degrees below zero, and yet water
did not freeze In the barn. 1t makes
the barn dry, maintains an even tenn.
perature, keeps the air sweet, removes
noxious gases and is a great aid to the
health of the COW.
If your windows are built with two
sashes in one casing (d) and It is
necessary to open either the upper or
lower sash to get more air into the
barn, you will find that 1t often causes
a direct draught on the cows. A bet.
ter plan is to hinge the upper sash (a)
so that 1t will fall inward from the
top. Have fastened at each side OF
the upper window frame a triangular
piece OF board (b) with a cleat ON the
edge against which the sash can rest
when open. This should be about nine
inches across the space marked (c).
This allows the air to come In at (e)
and pass over the cows.
