VARIETY IN FEEDING HORSES. One of the commonest faults in feeding horseg is the lack of variety in feed. Considering the number of different grains and feed stuffs it does segm strange that every. team owner should not provide for his animals a tation that would be perfectly ac- ceptable to system at all It is a faot, however, that no thae 20 per cent. feed what may termed a well-balanced ration, The other 80 per still .eling to the old ration of corn and hay, or oats and hay, which practical expert! mens have long proved to expensive and wasteful, When {t comes to feeding think of your own appetite. Suppos- ing were performing hard work, $abor, how would yon be content to eat two articles of food, the same thing for every meal, day after It pretty safe to say that you would tire of ration in a very short time. A bad digestion and a poorly nour ished body are always the of improperly balanced food. When such a ocomdition exists in man or norse, the best physical effort cannot be expecied; it is impossible. No one or two articles of fead will sup- piv to horses all the a of nutrition that their system needs.

Abundance of pure alr and pure water are cheap and essential. parts of a balanced ration.

Howe, HE English city, (00, Is free from the spoils system filled for efficiency and not for pull, and the employes is reiaingd during good behavior. This is a real democracy of merit. Aa alderman would think of demanding a city contract for himself as soon as he would the creation of an unnecessary job for a friend or relative. Public opinion, 100, would tolerate the one about as quickly as it would the other. Not that the English city has any civil service laws. It doein’t need them. Public opinion regu tes the service just as it does official conduct in other regards. This is the only kind of a merit system that protects the public from a bureaucratic administration, It is along these lincs that the English city is supreme. It has a fine sense of itself. It has an intolerant conscience. It commands the service of a high grade of citizenship. It has never known the ward heeler, and is exact ing in its demands on its councilmen. And the people delight in the city's successes They are proud of a fine tramway balance shect. They applaud an efficient manager. They are glad when the city makes a profit. Not for the sake of the profit alone, bul because of the success of it all. The people care for the city and talk city in a way that we do not and cannot compre: hend. This is one of the things we lack, this sense of a city. We have not yet aroused an organized public opinion that Is jealous of the city’s well-being. We expect inefficiency as a matter of course, and shrug our shoulders when an official goes wrong. And we do not expect the police and health depart ments, {he civil service laws or the purely personal side of our political lite to be above reproach. It is in its thrifty, commercial side that the English city excels. This is largely due to the fact that only tax or ratepayers vote This gives a rather sordid, tone to all discussion. For the taxes are assessed against rather than upon the capitalized value of the property | And the taxes are paid by the tenant and not by the owner. In consequence, the English councilman is always in terror of the taxpayer. And the people get the taxpayer's administration and an administration that is very timorous of anything which increases the rates—From “The American and British City,” In Scribner. : The German Emperor has a well.
