ee The Horse
Thers is no question in the minds ot all who have had experience in the matter but that hay and oats make the best feed for horses that are obliged to work regularly.
If the hay is cut fine and the oats bruised
or ground, the whole mixed aad moistened) the horse will consume his ratious sooner, digest chem quicker, and thus have more time for rest and renewing his power for labor. Farmers’ horses that work but little during the winter season may be kept cheap- er by cutting and mixing bright straw and hay in equal quantities and adding a ration of strained potatoes or raw carrots. Colts should | fed liberally on good hay; bright clover is best—and bruised oats. Give them box stall in stormy weather and Litter freely and let the Sawdust
a@ roomy during the night. manure accumulate under them. or spent tanbark makes a good and conven- ient bedding. In cities and_ villages this kind of litter is getierally cheapets than straw. Groom horses well and allow plenty of exercise every day. A good run in the yard is the very best of exercise; but care should be taken not to have any loose boards, stakes, or anything of this kinds, lying around that they may step en or run against, causing serious accidents. See that the stable floor or basements are strong, sufficient to bear the coutinued weight with- out breaking through. Many a good horse has been ruined by breaking through the stable floor. Arrange the feeding rack so that the dust or hay seed will not fall into their eyes or manes. Many horse-men erect the mangers too high, thus compelling the horse to assume an unnatural position while eating. Farm horses that are not to be much used during the winter, should have their shoes taken off, and allowed to run with the colts outside. It will be sur- prising how their energies will be renewed when taken up and fitted for.spring work. The teams that are to be used during the winter should be kept well shod, and insist upon having them shod properly. — Fraser's Mugartiie.

America Without Wheat.
*“—<oo
lt is difficult in the present day to realise that. wheat was at.one.time unknown in America ; yet prior to the discovery of this continent by Columbus there was no cereal in America approaching in the nature of the wheat plant. 1t was not, observes the Americcon Miller, until 1530 that wheat found its way into Mexico, and then only by chance. * A slave of Cortez found a few grains of wheat in a parcel of rice, and showed them to his master, who ordered them tobe planted. The result showed that wheat would thrive well on Mexican soil ; and to-\lay one of the finest wheat valleys in the world is near the Mexican capital. From Mexico the cereal found its way to Peru. Mari a D’Escobar, wife of Don Diego de Chauvos, carried a few grains to Lima, which were planted, the entire preduct being used for seed for several successive crops. At Quito, Ecuador, a monk of the order of St. Francis, by the name of Fray Jodosi Bixi, introduced the new cereal ; and it is sail that the jar which contained the seeds is still preserved by the monks of Quito. Wheat was introduced into the present limits of thé United States con- temporaneously with the settlement of the country by the English and Dutch.

There is a romantic elopement reported from Niagara Falls—the parties being a Mr. Lawson, a custom house officer, and Miss Mary Saxe Colt, 19 years old and very
retty. [tis the story of a rich but un- fevoied suitor, an obdurate father and a secretly favored lover ; the father, who is financially embarrassed, planning a /a the father in ‘‘the Banker’s Daughter,” to marry his child to the rich suitor to escape the cloud that impended over his fortunes. Things got to such a pass that something had‘to be done, and as Mr. Lawson was a boarder in the Colt mansion it was a very easy thing for the young lady to pack her elothing in her lover’s trunk, and under the pretense that he was going home on & va- cation jor him to remove the trunk and con- tents to the depot. Here*Miss Colt joined
- Mr. Lawson, went.to Buffalo and was mar-
ried to him. The raye of the father of the bride is said to be terrific, but the friends and acquaintances of the bride and groom generally approve their course. The un- accepted suitor, Glassford, is said to be in- censolable. Lawson is spoken of as an excelent young man.

Evidence of the colossal swindles perpe-
trated by Jay Gould in connection with
the Erie and other Railroads has been given before the Railroad Investigating Committee now in session in New York. George P. Guppy, who,.was General Superintendent of the line, testifiel that when Gould resigned his connection with the road, upwards of four million dollars of the increase of the capital stock and debt was unac counte | fur—in other -werds stolen by Gould. By an abuse of his position’ as President of the Erie he was enabled to uy uw» two small tributary lines, upon which lie made 92,500,000, It is no won- der that thinking American: are * growing restive under the vity: of | the railroad kings, and that so. poople begin to talk of the adoption of a.i | 1 +s of tratfie by the general government.
