WASHINGTON, d. c.. May S.
John H. snodgrass, of West Virginia,
Consul General at Moscow, Russia,
has an interesting article in the Daily
Consular and Trade Reports of Sat
urday, on the Diet and Food of Horses
in Russia
Mr.. snodgrass says the feeding of
corn, mixed foods or prepared diets is
unknown in Russia except among the
racing fraternity who have adopted
American ideas brought over by
American trainers. oats, he says.
constitute three-fourths Of the food
upoa which the Russian horse must
exist throughout the year. Little hay
is fed, marsh grasses and stray being
fed to many of the horses along with
their oats. City horses never taste
spear OF green grass but are occa-
sionally fed carrots. The constant
diet Of oats causes cracked skins and
heels with running sores which usual
~ disappear with proper feeding.
nir. Snadgrass has made n splendid
record in the consular service, going
from Pretoria, South Africa, to Kobe.
japan. and then as Consul General to
Moscow. 1t would not be surprise
to see him soon promoted to some
good consulate in western Europe.

for the last several years agent at
the local freight station for the Bal
tilnore & Ohio has resigned his po-
sition. His resignation will take
effect as soon as a new agent is
appointed for the place. Mr.. Long
expects to take a position in the

of the station have made for hin,
many friends who will regret q
