Work horses should be grain fed;

about 16 pounds of good mixed hay, 10
pounds of cracked corn and oats and
4 pounds of wheat bran per day. A
bushel of tine-cut hay weighs about
8 pounds, and corn chops about As
pounds to the bushel. One-half peck
of corn chops and one quart of wheat
bran, mixed with one bushel of cut
hay, adding just enough water to
make the meal stick to the hay, hakes
a good meal for the horse. Give this
ration three times a day, with a little

is eaten.

Bishop William NJ. McVickar of the

The bishop is as big physically as he

some years ago he preached a sermon
N the need for missionary work in
the back towns of his state, and espe-
cially mentioned the town of Foster,
which certainly deserved as much as
he said about it.
There are a good many fighters in
Foster, and the worst of the lot a
