Peru and Brazil W ill Come to on Amica­
ble Understanding.
Washington, July 13.— Information
has come to the state department of a
prospective settlement of the Acre
boundary dispute, which for a long
time hae been a source of friction be­
tween tiie governments of Brazil and
Peru.
The contention involves the
ownership of a large tract of country,
rich in rubber production, which is
claimed alike by both countries.
The information reaching the state
department is to the effect that -he
plenipotentiaries of the two co’.ntries,
who have iieen meeting at Rio Janeiro
and Petropolis, Brazil, have come to an
agreement on the disputed questions.
The nature of the agreement is not
known here.
Recently Brazil secured a quit-claim
to a certain portion of the disputed ter­
ritory made by Bolivia and was in turn
met by the demands of Peru, which
also laid claim to portions of the tract.
Horses should he watered before
their grain feed. This story has been
put to the expurlmeutal test. A bores
was fed with four quarts of whole
oats, and Immediately after given
water to drink. Soon after the horse
was killed and opened.
Scarcely a
quart of oats was found swimming
in the water In the stomach, the re­
maining three quarts having been
forced by the water Into the Intestines.
Another horse was given water first,
und then about four qunrts of oats.
Fifteen urlnuh s after this horse was
slaughtered, and the entire quantity
of oats was found tn the stomach, and
already digestion was setting In.
Horses require more water In hot
weather than In cold, and more when
at work than when Idle. Horses at
full work should be watered frequent­
ly: three Umes a day la not too often.
The hay and grain should always be
pure aud sweet.
