The Cutting of Green Feed and Giving to the Stock Can Be Done to Advantage In Summer. The Arab maxim Is, drive a horse with moderation until he has sweated ami dried off three timet. If the gen eral conditions are right he can then be nuahed with safety, provided he be suitable beast fur driving, the object be inii to make time. What are the condi tiuns? In a large degree these are the mode in which lie haa been fed prior to making the journey or taking the drive, It is a very bad practice if you have a long or sharp drive to make, to feed freely the day before entering upon this, as not a few very indiscreet men have done. The preparation, to I of service should bo continued for days, or even weeks, that the system may be made stuunch by the muscles being nourish' d for such a period in advance of the effort that the fibers will be firm and endur ing under Ionic and continued strain Being upon the road for a drive or iournev. il the horse snowi want of en erifv. belchet wind from the stomach, and iuter passes it from the bowels, this being accompanied by more or less dis tension of the abdomen, he will cer tainly disappoint any reasonable expec tation! as to performance. If when in itood condition he lias capacity for get ting over the ground and snowing power of endurance, he will show neither while u the condition referred to. The brain ia dull while indigestion holds sway whether this be from recent overfeeding or from long continued indiscretions as to kinds or amounts ol food given, the horse depends upon his brain for energy as does the man; and indigestion, as every man knows, will lower brain man llestationB as It also lowers trie bodily isjwers. It is a wise driver who closely ob serves the condition a horse is in when he starts out for a drive, whether this lie a long or a short one. 11 the horse, usually "up on the bit," ready and will ing to "reach out," starts sluggishly and without spirit or spring In his gait, the observing and considerate driver will walk him for awhile, awaiting develop' incuts; an the horse, if usually willing to perforin, will quicken his pace with out any prompting as soon as his brain and muscular system gets the better of the depressing influence that has held him down. When a horse starts tardily on his journey or drive it will be found that his best period of his performance will come in late in the day. That his best period may show itself effectively making up lor the dallying oi the morn ing it will be well durintc the day to nn check. iriving a little breathing spell now and then, seeking shade if this can lie secured, hven it the horse be per mitted to take a few bites of grass at the roadside while unchecked great renewal of courage and energy will follow. Always, when on the road, give the principal feed at night, as by adopting this plan the liberal night feed will be digested and asnmilution well under way by morning. The morning and the noon feed should lie light, and if the horse has no feed at noon it will he ol) swrved that he will perform all the bet ter for this absence of grain as the (lav draws to a closv.

In many cases the cutting of green feed and giving to the stuck can lie done to an advantage. The Western farmer, with cheap lamlaand consequently cheap pasturage, would not care to follow this plan with all of his stock, as the lunte amount of work necessary would in very many cases make the work unprofitable. But at the same time many contingen cies will arise that a few etock can be fed n this way to advantage. When the work teams are kept busy it ia not al ways the best plan to turn them inin a urge pasture ami let them run all night. They need rest, and thev will be liene- ted by a feed of aomethinir fresh and green, and the U'nt way of supplying it s by cutting otl the urass and fccdnm to stock in the stables, i lot's that are con- lined in close Pens can always lie fed green clover cut fresh every day. Milk , even when they hove the run of ihe pastures with other cattle during the day, will give more and richer milk if they are fed grass or clover to them selves at night. The work teams and the milk cows need a little better feeding during the summer than the growing cattle or horses, and in a majority of cases the most economical plan of furnishing it is to have a patch of clover, rye or grass, and cutting and feeding every day. Millet, sweet corn or sorghum, or tbe second growth of clover, can lie used through the summer. It will lie bent to grow such crops for this purMjse as can lie cut, cured and stored away for use later, if not needed when matured suf ficiently to harvest. Such crops should be grown convenient to tbe stables or feeding lots so as to lessen the work in feeding. In many cases a patch that can In? used in this way for all of the stink will lie found of considerable advantage dur ing the latter part ot summer when it so often occurs that the pastures fail to supply plenty of feed. Hut with the teams and milk cows more or less can be turned to an advantage the greater part ot the growing season. General bird Wolseley entered the army thirty-five years ago, when he was only 18 yeart old, and his commission as an eninn entitled him to pay at the rat of $1.25 a day, out ot which' he had to foit his mess bills and buy his nni torm.

Beaeons Why Mnjr Peopl. Wh KM. U. no Moeh Troubl. with Their itlmipt-A nirflnf Ma.ter Olres Home Eseellent Itulee and Suifealloni. A saddle Is constructed right If it gives the rider the greatest possible com fort and the most eecure teat, with al most total absence of exertion of mus cles of his lega In order to maintain hit balance. Almost every riding master prefers a certain make of saddle, and teaches a certuin style of teat at the best, and hit pupils, tuking perhaps littlo or no trouble to ttudy othori and to in vestigate further, have to accept hit. Rnt. irresuective of the science of rid ing, there is oue shiiiie of saddle which is the most comfortable, viz., the saddle which is so constructed that, in accora ance with the laws of gravity, the rider't body will and must sit in balance witD' nnt trvimr to do so. Much haa been said and written about how vou should sit on tbe horse. Per bar you have been told to grasp tbe saddle or the horse firmly with tbight or knees, to have your toes higher than vour heels, to keen the heels away from the horse, to bend your back to be stiriuirv or to straighten yourself to sit firmly, etc. Perhuiis your teocher has made great efforts and exhausted all re- tourses of his knowledge to impress upon you how you should sit, and yet at a trot you lose the stirrups, you lose your bulurice, and unless trotting very slowly, ami unless your horse hot an easy trot, you have to bring nim to a walk to regain the stirrups. If you are not experienced, and your horse trots roughly, you are in discom fort and in danger of losing your teat. If your horse is nervous and not well broken to the touch of the heel the flap ping of the stirrups against his flanks renders him uneasy and prolongs the tusk of "getting your foot in the stirrup." WHKKE THE TROUBLE LIES. Examine your saddle; it seems nice, toft and comfortable: the stirrups as heavy asshould be even their tread cov ered with leuther or rubber to prevent slipping from your foot; but slip they will. Why? Look at the slinpe of your saddle, at the positions which the saddler boa assigned for your seat, thighs, knees and feet, and see where he bus uttached the burs for the stirrup leathers on the suddle tree. Vour saddle ia perbups too long iiiul, us most English style saddles, flat: its lowest point, instead us near us possible to the center, is buck toward the end: you are utmost sitting on thecantle. In order to bring your knees to the knee puffB, which are too fur front, you have to stretch your legs forward. Tins obliges you to curry your stirrips for ward with your feet away from and in front of the place where they would hang by their own weight, and in order to keep them at your feet you have to shorten the stirrup leuthers and bear heavily on the Btirrups, otherwise they will slip buck What is tbe result? As soon as yonr foot loses the stirrup the lutter, accord ing to the law of gravity, returns to the lowest position which the length of stir rup leather allows far behind your foot; then yonr foot, too, having lost its sup port, and with nothing to bear against. together with your leg, according to the law of gravity, tries to slip back in order to hang as near as possible to the ceuter of gravity; and then your legs will hung fur buck the knee puffs, perhaps on the bare horse almost behind the saddle skirts To avoid this by muscular exertion you try to force your legs up and front into a position very tiresome to main tain But if you, according to the law of gravity, have the lowest point of the saddle in its center: if you have this center as close as possible to the horse's back by reducing tbe thickness of the saddle to a minimum: if you drop your self into this lowest point of tbe saddle to stay there: if you drop your legs to where they will stay by their own weight instead of holding them forward and raising them by muscular exertion; if you have the stirrup leather bars attached far euough back to be in a line with thut place where your feet meet the stirrups, with stirrup leuthers so long as to raise your toes high enough to give you on elastic tread on the stirrup with out crumping the muscles of your thighs and knees, then your body, legs, feet and atirmps will maintain their posi tions by their own weights according to the law of gravity: after each displace ment resulting from the movement of the horse your body will fall back into the lowest purt of the saddle; your thighs, knees and feet will not become tired because you are not using muscu lar exertion to hold them in their places. By the law of gravity they always full back into them. Vour stirrups and feet, even if disengaged from each other, will, as it were, meet unintentionally at their places. If turning your toes slightly to ward the horse the stirrup will by its own weight try to find its place and slip on your foot The displacements from their positions of your body, thighs, knees, feet and stirrups will be followed by their involuntary movements accord ing to the law of gravity to fall back Into the places which their weights as sign to them. Have your saddle built so that no muscular exertion be required to keep you in its lowest (centre) part; that your legs, thighs, knees, feet and stirrups re tain their positions by their own weight, and you will enjoy that comfort which you can never find in a flat saddle with the lowest point back at the cantle, with the knee puffs too fur front, with the saddle pad raising you several Inches above the horse and with leather and straining, etc., built np high be tween your legs. Have the tree open longitudinally In the center from the front to the middle, allowing circulation of air between yon and the horse and yon will have more ease to yourself and lest tore backt for your noma.

The explanation is this: A number of scien tific men have formed an organization the purpose of which is to take the brains of distinguished persons after death and study them, with a view to fuller knowledge both of medicine and mind. Dr. Joseph Leidy ia president of the organization and Dr. Pepper secre tary. Both are of Philadelphia. A large number of persons have already prom ised to ullow their bruins to be examined when they have no further use for them, and among these persons ia the Eev. Phillips BnxikH, of Boston. Letters requesting brains fcave been sent out to neurly all the notable men and women of the country. Next sum mer, at the meeting in Washington of the congress of physicians and surgeons, this organization will be perfected, and associute members in the different cities will be authorized. When thut is done you can do your fuuiily physician a spe cial honor by bequeathing to him your bruin, which he will examine and report on or perhaps forward it to the special ists in Philadelphia. Pittsburg Times. A Mayor on Ills Knee. Eas the ancient city of Moscow gone down on its knees to the merchant Jer inokofl? This is the question now agi tating Moscow society. It seems that a subscription for a certain charity was being ruised in Moscow, and of the mill ion rubles required there was a deficit of 300.000. The mayor bethought him to make an uppeul to a rich merchant of his acquaintance for the required sum. He did so: the first time in vain. But on another visit the merchant taid: "Go down on your knees und beg me to give you the money." "And why not?" re turned the mayor. Like Lady (iodiva, he sacrificed Ilia pride and gained the money for the town. And now society is much concerned to know if its honor was lost, und casu ists are arguing on both sides of tbe question. Moscow has got something to talk about iu the place of Mme. Patti, who refuses to come and sing. Cor. Lon don News. In Twenty-Ova 8erlout Aeeldenfi. John N. Hutchinson, of Covington, teems to be death proof. From his strange experience he was not born to be killed. He tuts met with no less than twenty five accidents in the lost ten yours. ' At the Sullivan gas pits in Indiana in 1874 there were thirteen men killed. He was a green hand and escaped. He fell from the roof of St Mary's school house while it was being erected. He dropped a distance of seventy-live feet und was badly in jured. He was also hurt at the fruit house, and fell from a church in West Covington. While walking on a railroad track with two other men a train came along and killed his companions. He was stealing a ride with two other tramps in Indiana. The train Jumped the track and the two tramps were killed. He was hurt at the Dueber works and a dozen otlier places. Both of his arms have been broken, several ribs fractured, his head crushed, his leg broken, and yet today be is a pretty good man. Cincinnati Enquirer. Sympathy from a Stranger.

"Well, it doesn't muke any differ ence what it is," persisted the stranger.
