FARMERS' COLUMN,
Horse E tables
Tho condition anil health of n horao
depends very much upon tho kind of
stahlo it Is kept In. There nro horses
which suffer from diseases of the eyes,
from coughs, from scratches and other
skin diseases, all of which arc produced
by tho pungent foul air In tho stables.
F.inniTj and others who haro horses,
will take pains to keep their carriages
and harness protected from tho strong
atnmonlafcal air of tho stables lest tho
leather may be rotted or the varnish
dulled and spotted, and at tho samo
time they will wonder why their horses
cough, or havo weak eyes or moon
blindness, or suffer from other diseases,
which,, if llicy would only think for a
few minutes, they would readily perceive
aro due to the foul air tho animals arc
compelled to brcatho every night in tho
year while confined in close,badly venti
lated stables. Tho remedy Is very easy.
Tho stable should bo kept clean; this
will prevent the greater part of tho
mischief; and It should bo well venti
lated. The floor should bo properly
drained, so that tho liquid will not re
main on It, to be absorbed, and decom
pose, and piodtuo the pungent vapors
of ammonia, which arc so injurious to
tho eyes, nostrils, throat, and lungs,
and this liquid wasto should bo carried
away to soma place whero It can bo
absorbed and utilized. The floor should
ho washed off at least twico a week
with a plenty of water and then liberally
sprinkled with finely-ground gypsum
(plaster) which will combine with the
anunoula, und fix it. A solution of
copperas (sulphate of iron) will havo
tho same result. Lastly, tho floor should
bo supplied with absorbent litter, which
should bo removed when It is soiled.
Ventilation should bo provided in such
a way as to avoid cold drafts. Small
openings, which may be easily closed
with a slide, may be made in tho outer
wall near the floor, and similar ones
near the ceiling, or In the roof, through
which the foul air can escape. Pure
air Is of the utmost importt nco to the
well-being of horses. As an instance
of It may be mentioned the fact that in
the English cavalry stables a complete
system of ventilation reduced tho
average loss of horses from the deadly
disease, glanders, from ono hundred
and thirty-two per thousand yearly, to
nine, in the thousand; and when a
similar improvement was made In the
French army stables the percentage of
death was reduced In a similar ratio,
with a still larger decrease of milder
ailments. Am. Agriculturist.
Worse Than Flroaims.
The editor of an Omaha paper. In
commenting on several cases in that
city wncre emidren died irom tne effects
of taking cough sprup containing
morphia, remarks that opiates, poisons
and narcotics aro moro dangerous than
urearms. wotners sliouiu note tills and
furthermore that different Boards of
Health, after makinc careful analyses
have certified that tho only purely
vegetable preparation of this kind, and
one that is In every way harmless,
prompt and effective, Is Red Star Cough
Cure. Mayor Latrobc of Baltimore,
and the Commissioner of Health, have
publicly endorsed this valuable discovery.
Breeds and Families.
In the breeding of live stock, every
body realizes the subdivision of races
into breeds. Amonp; cattlo we have
Shorthorns, Devons, Ayrshircs, Jerseys,
Dutch, etc., and it is impossible to
establish definite limits to their multi
plication. Among dogs we have pointers,
setters, mastiffs, etc., In great numbers,
and so among all tho races of quad
rupeds, birds, and even fishes, which
come from under tho influence of intclli
gent breeders, breeds aro multiplied.
.These breeds occasionally break up intc
sub-breeds, as setter dogs into English,
Irish, Gordon, etc., and when carcfull
bred, they always break up Into families.
These are essentially short-lived from
the nature of things. A family maj
possess strong peculiarietics, great pre
potency, an 1 the Individuals may bear
to each other strong rc:omblcnccs, but
in the course of years, continued close
breeding within the ft mily, weaken the
constitution, or lessen the profit to tin
keeper in ons way or another, so that lit
Is actually forced to take outside crosses,
to maintain tho character cf the family.
As an example, th; frtnous family ol
Duchess Shorthoris, was first maintain
ed intact by tho Oxford cross, whicl
finally became so blended with the
Duchesses, that other crosses wen
forc:d upon br .eders, ach one doing itt
suar.i to dilute tho blood and destroj
tho identity of the family. The highest
value of families is for crosi'ng and
grading. Among the Jerseys as now
bred, we see this strikingly shown. Tin
great producers are all recent crosses ol
great butter families. These crosses
betw ecu families serve in this way to
intensify characteristics of the breed.
Tho blood of different families does not
always nnlte well to nrodece the sought
for quail :Ies. vhcu this Is so, the
families are said not to "nick" with
each other. Yet they may, and proba
bly will nick well, crossed with others.
Thus the blood of the famous English
bull "Rioter," when It has been crossed
with certain other familles,has produced
great butter-making cows. M. C,

In A Tunnel.
TUB AWFUL MISTAKE OF A NEWMADE
1IRIDE0R00M.
A newly married couple were en route
to Washington by tho Baltimore k
Ohio. There are many tunnels on this
road the other side of the Ohio river.
All through Ohio the face of tho young
man wore occasional looks of pain, de
spite his great joy. lie seemed to want
something. Apparently ho yearned.
Over in West Virginia the train entered
a tunnel. Upon emerging into the light
tho young man's face was seen to wear
a studious expression. Ho was think
ing. At first he seemed pcrlcxed, then
interested, then triumphant. lie had
had a revelation. Then ho smiled with
a firm, manly, continuous smile, and
his oyes peered ahead for the first sign
of a yawning cavern in the mountain
side. Tho bride was happy and demure.
Whlsh shadows rumbles darkness.
Tho veil Is drawn. It Is another tun
nel. Light again, and the young man
looks happier than ever. Tho bride's
check disports a gcntlo blush a mo
dest, Inexperienced blush, discovered
only by tho Initiated and envious. No
perplexity, no anxiety now. Tho reve
lation has been tested and found a suc
cess. There arc many tunnels, but not
enough. If the whole line were a tun
nel the brldo and groom would not care
how slow tho train proceeded. The man
who has not lived to bless the builder of
tunnels does not know what happlncts
is. He is but little above tho brute
which never troubled the Creator for
passing clouds over tho moon on prayer
meeting night. But our bridegroom
was not ono of these parties. Ho ap
preciated all tho blessings which man
and nature had bestowed upon hiin. lie
did not miss a tunnel.
But all things must havo an end.
Daylight always comes to tho newly
married. Strawberries and cream must
bo paid for at the cashier's desk. With
in the blissful cucumber hides a mi
crobe. Our young husband goes for a
drink of water. While on his errand
his eager eye catches tho signs of an
other tunnel. Of course ho fears his
birdie will bo sore afraid if left alone in
the darkness, and he ha iters to her sldo.
Quick are his feet, but faster mores the
train. Darkness gathers whilo he is
yet a half dozen scats away. But tho
brave man does not falter. Ho gropes
along, he reaches the scat (or thinks ho
docs) and slides into it. Deep are the
shadows, and hums tho train.
A scream, long and vigorous a sound
of scuffling a thump or two and tho
bright light of a May day breaks upon
the scene. The young husband frantic
ally endavors to disengage hlmselt from
thocraspof an angiy colored woman
sitting in the seat just behind the bride.
He at length succeeds and retires sullen
ly to his seat, wipine: his mouth aud
occasionally spitting upon the floor as
if he had bitten through a worm in a

Tho tunnels come and go, but their

Tho remarkable sunsets which startled
so many parti of tho world about a year
ago have attracted the attention of scien
tific men, and a committee of the Iioyal
Society of London has been appointed
to incstlcate their cause. Tho com-
mlttce has not yet made its report, but
it is believed that it has arrived at the
conclusion that the phenomena are not
as was at first supposed, traceable to
the volcanic eruptions in Java in August,
1883. In speaking of the epidemic of
pneumonia in Philadelphia and New
Vork last winter, an eminent physician
of the latter city suggested that it was
due to some strange atmospheric con
ditions, of which tho red sunsets were
probably the result. As a preventative
of throat and lung troubles he strongly
advlced the use of tho new medical
discover- Red Star Cough Cure, which
scientists and chemists have fcund to bo
absolutely free from morphia or opium,
harmless and of remarkable elhcacy.
Such a remedy, must therefore, prove
an undoubted blessing to an.
