<i iets Mi iil) Feeding Grain to Horses.

The capacity of the horse’s stomach is about sixteen quarts. This fact should be

orne in mind by those who have charge of horses. In feeding grain to horses, it is im- portant that it should be fed at such a time, that it may remain in the stomach as long as need be to secure its complete digestion. The nitrogenous elements in which grain is

in the stomach than in the intestines. The grain should be fed after the hay has been eaten, and no other food or drink should be given for some time after, so that the grain may remain in the stomach until it is fully digested. If the grain is fed first, and then a-ration, as for instance, of seven pounds of hay, the grain will speedily be forced from the stomach by the hay. In eating the hay, it will be mixed with four times its weight of saliva, and an hour and a half will be required for masticating it. In order to have the stomach digest well, it should not contain more than ten quarts at a time, and in eating seven pounds of hay, the animal swallows at least two stomach- fula of hay and saliva, one of those having passed on into the intestines. If the grain had been fed first, before the hay, the grain would have speedily passed out of the stomach into the intestines where it will digest less completely than if allowed to remain in the stomach. It is the office of the stomach to digest the nitro- genous parts of the food, and as oats or corn contain four or five times as much of these as the same amount of hay, it is obviously more important to have the grain subjected to the full action of the gastric jucies than to have the hay retained there. Hence in feeding grain, 1t should be fed after the hay ration has been eaten. This is a matter worth remembering in feeding horses.

The Model Farmer.

He should not buy more land than he can pay for easily, and till to advantage. The hardest thing to raise on a farm is a mortgage. Thirty or forty acres carefully cultivated will prove more profitable than two hundred on which the same care and labor are expended. He should not have more stock than he can shelter well, and keep in good order all the season. 1tis poor ecenomy to stint cattle throngh the winter and expect them to do as wellin the coming spring as they would under generous treat- ment. A man should be merciful to his stock because it pays best in the end. Cattie that are stoned by the boys, kicked by the men and worried by the dogs, are not likely te thrive in flesh or milk. Such treatment is silly, brutal and every way unprofitable, The occasions are very rare where beasts of burdeu—horses or oxen—are benefited by the application of the rod. People who wreak their insane fury on helpléss dumb animals are at these moments something lower than beasts them- selves.

He should keep a careful account of his income and outgoes. No business can prosper that is basea on uncertainties. ‘The habit of keeping a c!ose account begets prudence, economy and wisdom in man- agement. If a man can figure out a fair profit as the result of his years labor, it is a source of satisfaction and contentmens ;if the balance is on the other side he will ascertain the cause of his failures and follow new courses. ‘‘Book Farming’ is no longer despised by intelligent men.

He should make his home and its imme- diate surroundings as pleasant as his means will permit. He should at least take as much pride in beautifying his home and supplying it with the comforts and con- veniences, if not luxuries of life, as he does in having fine or blooded stock and neat and large outbuildings. A proper regard for the happiness of these whose duties lie chiefly within doors would dictate this. The ‘‘matters of the house” are of primary importance, for what after all is the chief end of labor but to make the home life happier and better. Half the dullness and monotony of life on the farm, driving the boys and girls to the towns and cities, would be banished if the same pains were taken to make the home beautiiul and at- tractive that are taken by most residents of towns and cities.

The successful farmer will do his work in season ‘here is no business where re- eularity is more essential than in farming.

Hixpvursm Breakine vup.—A deep and wide sproad conviction seems to prevail not only in cities, but also in the country places, among the villagers, and indeed throughout all classes, that a day of over- throwing of the old religions and effete faiths, of the breaking up of old forms, is at hand. The common people speak of the coming day of overturning, and seem not dismayed at its approach, but announce themselves as ready to join in the van; in- deed, are only awaiting its coming to break away from their present thraldom and bonds of caste-—Dr. Waugh, on Lucknow

‘ar as quantity is concerned by the best harvests ever known in this wheat-belt since settlement began in earnest. The

price now current well repays those who, taking time by the forelock, sowed early in the spring and are thus able to market now; and even if it should drop to 70 cents or a fraction below, the return, taking the high average yield into account, will put the farmer on. his feet again and give a gaeat impetus to business. ”

Within a few months past markings have been seen on the surface of the planet Venus which even so cautions an astronomer as Prof. Young has declared give promise that we may be able to learn something concerning the poles, the moun- tains, the continents, and the seas of that distant world. Mr. Trouvelot has dis- covered: what he regards as probably the snow-clad summits of mountains thrust up through the cloudy atmosphere in - the neighborhood of its poles. The mountains, if they exist, must be of amazing height, and it is duubted whether Trouvelot has correctly interpreted what he saw. Yet that he did see some peculiar feature of the planet—that he did get a glimpse, though an obscure one, into this far-away world—the astronomers do not question.

Imitativeness is man’s strongest link with the ancestral monkey. Women run after each other in the enormities of their cos- tume, no matter how remote these may be from what they recognize as beauty. Men will copy the preposterous in building or anything else with avidity. An unusual murder or a crime is “sure to have its imitators. A great embezzlement or suicide is followed by others and now we have an epidemic of elopments. Rich girls like Miss Morosini flee from monotcnous ennui to probable disaster. As one has said, ‘‘She thought she was in love when she was only idle.” Poorer girls flee from the monotony of drudgery into more grievous sorrows and The lack of au object in life is the
