"HoW to Feed Your Horse"

Over one-half of the diseases which
horses are subject to are caused by
wrong feeding. Correct feeding is
really such a simple matter that there
is no reason why every horse should
not be fed properly. Violation of
one of few simple rules spells death
to thousands of horses every year.
1t will pay every horse owner to learn
these rules by heart and put them
into practice. Here they are:
"Horse Feeding Rules"
1. Do not feed too much or too lit
tie. Feed just enough to hold the ami
malls weight while doing his work
properly. For 1,000-pound horse on
full work normal ration is 10 pounds
of timothy or mixed hay and IL
pounds of oats a day.
2. Feed three times a day and at
the same time each day. Regularity
keeps the horse from fretting and
aids digestion.
8. Do not feed grain or water when
too warm and tired. Wait half an
hour, feeding a little hay. When a
horse is too warm for water he is too
warm for grain.
4. Water before feeding, except a
little hay while cooling off. If you wa
ter after feeding the horse drinks too
much and it chills the stomach and
interferes with digestion. Give all
the water he wants, but at the proper
time. Even a very warm horse may
have a dozen swallows if he is kept
travelling for a while afterward. Wa
ter too dirty or stale for you to drink
is too dirty for your horse. Give clean
water only.

ELECTRICAL APPARATUS AND
SUPPLIES.

Statistics of the electrical machin-
cry. apparatus and supplies industry
In the United States for 1909 are pre-.
scented In detail In a bulletin soon to
be issued by Director Harris of the
bureau of the census, department OF
commerce. 1t was prepared under the
supervision of w. M. Stewart, chief
statistician for manufactures.
This industry includes the manufac-
ture Of the machines and appliances
used in the generation, transmission
and utilization of electric energy, to-
gether with most of the parts, acces.
series and supplies for them. 1t does
not include, however, the production
Of poles, whether Of wood, iron or
steel; nor does 1t include the manu-
facture Of glass and porcelain ware
made expressly for electrical purposes,
that of bare iron and copper wire, or
any Of the group Of electrochemical
and observation-disclosures products.
The total number of establishments
in the United States in 1909 engaged
in the manufacture of electrical ma
chinery, apparatus and supplies was
1,009. The total number Of persons
engaged in the industry was 105,60O
of whom 102,950 were wage earners
The total capital employed was $751;
S44,432, and the total value of prod
ucts was $221, 308,563
The industry in 1909 was largely
centralized in the six states Of New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mas
sachusetts, Illinois and Ohio. These
states together reported S3.9 per cent
of the total average number of wage
earners, S2.6 per cent. of the total
value Of products, and S3.1 per cent. OF
the total value added by manufac
ture.

SEEKS GENUINE GREENHEART

Clayton D. Nell of the U. S. forest
service sailed the other day from New
York for British Guiana to inspect
greenheart timber to be used in the
construction of docks and other ma
rine works for the Panama canal He
goes at the request of the isthmian
canal commission, in order that the
engineers may be sure that they are
getting genuine greenheart timber, foI
which humber Of inferior substi
tutes are offered.
Genuine greenheart has the reputa'
ton Of being the most resistant wood
to the attack Of marine borers and to
decay Borers are especially bad lr
tropical waters. The wood is, in add
ton, hard heavy and durable, and not
subject to damage from impact and
wear. Indisputable records show that
the best grades of this wood surpass
iron and steel as to lasting qualities
in contact with salt water. 1t has
been known and used since 1859. Logs
have remained intact under water for
one hundred years, and the only limit
of their durability so far has been
the length of service of their iron bolts
and fastenings, which usually can be
renewed without much trouble. Green

and widening Of the ship channel in
