A mull ratioti of hay fed with regit
um ily throe limua a duy, and a suitable
gritlii ration carefully Incorporated
with It, with water twice a day, and a
thorough grooming, will make a spiril
le, rough-coaled liorwj wiili clintendod
body, iu lour caaea out of live, a much
oiore alert, a handaoinur and vitally
more elllulunt animal. The grain ra
tion should be of ground or cracked
cum, and grouned oatea or bran, the
graiu being mixed with the buy, h
that the hay and grain will have to be
oaten together, aa it Inn been found
that in thia way tha graiu ia much
more fully digested. As to the amount
of grain that shall help make up a ra
tion, that must depend on circuiuatanc
f and tho ability of the owner to pro
vide the grain, or, perhaps better,
hia inclination to provide the grain,
and also the work which the horse ia
called upon to do. The thing of
chief importance ia to get farmers to
discard a part of the hay ration, and
substitute for thia discarded hay at
least its value iu the more condensed
nutrition of corn, oats, or bran; the
rest will n a to rely follow. Cora has
too much oil to bo fed alone.

man killed at Hcappoose, but week.and
held an inquest, but aa no one saw the
ouident and nothiua was found on
the body to identify it, the Jury aitreed
pon the following verdict : We believe
that the man found dead on the rail
road track came to hia death by being
run over by a train unknown to the
jury. .No blame ia attached to the
railroad company aa the deceased was
evidently a tramp atealiug a ride at
the time lie waa killed. la appear
ance the man waa five foot seven in
ches tall, dark hair, sandy mustache,
wore a No. 71 hat and No. 7 alioe. The
body waa literally cut to pieces and
strung along tlu track the distance of
