How to Feed Horses.
fcinco we commenced the publication of the
i'lnuuliman We have more than once called the
attention of the public to the importance ol
feeding lior?en ifi a projicr manner—especially
when on n journey. And we bare reason to
think that these hints have not been slighted,
for we have seen thcin copied iuto nnnurons
papers, and we now hear lew complaiut for
want of proper feeding than we did twenty
years ago.
Horses on a journey reqm're more attention
than those employed for draft on a farm, and
more than sticfi aa are used in trucks and drays
in cities, for it is fast driving which exposes
thein to the severest tests ; and therefore hor
ses that are trsed principally for light carriages
on the highways are worn out orach sooner than
farm horses.
The times of feeding horses which are ex
looted to travel fast ou the highways, are quite
important. One good rule is never to give
them hearty food just before starting. Many
stage horses have dropped dead it* the high
ways merely on account of eating too" hearty
rood before starting on a journey.
It was once a rule never to feed with grain
of any kind when the horse was warrr\ and had
jierfornied his day's work ; but wow we hear
very little of this rule, n9 ten horses are found
to die suddenly in consequence of harddrivii g
soon after eating grain, where one has faihd
by having grain given him soon after his work
Mas done, and while lie was yet warm and
sweaty.
The reason of this difference is very plain,
us soon as you reflect 011 it, and compare the
romlilion of the horse with your own Let
any man eat a hearty dinner and then run a
u smart race.—Let him chase " the cows from
the meadow, the sheep from the corn," and lie
will experience a pain similar to that which
seems to exercise the horse, and should he be
forced, as the horse often is, to continue on in
spite of his disease, he would drop down and
expire for the same cause.
The truth seems to be that nature should be
consulted in all such cases : and nature indi
cates that rest after eating is more important
rhan at any time. All n?e inclined- to rest and
•deep H9OU ufSer eating hearty food, and s pen
nl'ry is attached' to a violation of this natural
rule. Rest is required in order that the food
may have a opportunity to digest ; but violent
exercise arrests the process of digestion.
The experiment has been fully tried 011 dogs
rluit have been full fed. Those that have been
lirt ont toparsae tine chose have been found,
on opening, to have the food whole in their
stomachs at the end of three or four hours ;
while such as were kept at rest, had digested
ull the food which they had eaten.
From these facts it is clear that horses should
not have their most hearty food immediately
before starting in a stage or chase where rapid
travelling is expected. Let them have the
principal pait of their grain af nrgiit, after the
day's work is over.
In regard to the old objection, that horses
must not have grain when they are warm, we
have no faith in-ife. We have never yet had
good evidence that it bsrse haw suffered merely
from eating his accustomed quantity of grain
while he was warm, or even in a state of pers
piridiso..
ehi a journey, therefore, let your hoses hare
their grain at night, when they have tiinc to
digest it, and they will be ready to start early
in the morning—before breakfast if you choose
and travel* .without injury. When you have
horses that have long been, used to-grain, you j
may order half a bushel* of oats to each h®re,
ami you may put these into the manger as soon
as you please after your horses are put into
the stable. We have often done this on a long
journey,, and have found it the most economi
cal mod'c or travelling-:.
When an a journey, you are not certain that"
the hay is good, and if you rely principally up
on hay, in what condition can you expect to
find your team in the morning ? But oats are
generally of such a quality that hungry horses
will eat enough to sustain'themselves. They
will fill theto stomachs- early in<the evening,
und then lie down and rest, when their food
may bo properly digested. In this- ease they
need no extra stuffing with graiu just before
blurting in the morning.— PLirman.
rastructions for Saving Garden Seeds.
When the seeds are ripe, gather them with
out unnecessary delay ; otherwise the pods
will split open and their contents be scattered
njrou the ground. Do not gat!ten indu'jWtm- j
natelv. but take only the finest looking heads,
by this selection of the best plants and the best
seed; good varieties muy be even improved,.and
they certainly will not deteriorate. Ri this
way many of our choice vegetable have breu
obtained. The practical stock-breeders' motto
!, that " Like produces like," and he breeds
from those animals only which possess the points
he wishes pcrjictuated. Thus, if you select
tho earliest peas from the earliest vines, for a
number of seasons, you can obtain>a< variety
ripening several days earlier, than that whk*h<
you - been done once, and
may be done again.
I'lace the seed vessels, as soon as gathered,
upon a doth in the shade, so that they may j
become perfectly dry, at which time thresh'out
the see Iby means of a small stick"; Winnow
mil the chaff and small or defective seed, .and
jyit the reniaiudcr in drawers- or.small paper
bags. Every kind should l<* labeled -with its
name and the year when raised—irrthfs-mnn
aer, " Early Salmon Rrdish, 18off." This
will prevent all possibility of the inexperienced
cultivator mistaking beet for cabbage seed, or
sowing that which by the lapse of time, has
lost its power of germination. Keep these
drawers or ltg3 in >.a cool,dry apartment,where
no injury may be apprehended from moisture
or the attacks of mice. With care seeds may
! preserved for several .years, aocowliag to the
aaaoxed table.
The vitality of seeds, under favorable cir
cumstances, may be depended .upon for the fol-
Owing periods :.

for one year. -

THE ELECTRO CHEMICAL BATH,
AN'P
DIRECT & TO St FRO ELECTRO MAGNETIC MACHINE.
JAMES HARRIS, ELECTUICIAN, of Towanda, respect
fully informs the public that he has lately procured
from New York the celebrated Electro-Chemical Rath,
which has proven to be one of the most Important and
wonderful discoveries of the age, from its ability to extract
minerals from the human system.
Some eight years ago, a physician of Cincinnati disco
vered the process of extracting minerals from the body,
by galvanism : more recently, M. Verges, of New York,
an electro-gilder, having suffered from the introduction of
poisonous minerals into his system in the prosecution of
his art, conceived the idea of removing them by the same
processes, he succeeded in doing so, and quickly recovered.
He then applied the same means to others similarly af
fected, wiin like results. His success exceeded his most
sanguine expectations, for not only did these Baths remove
mineral poisons, but cured many diseases, some of which
were this result of minerals, and some were not.
More recent experiments have fully confirmed the sin
gular power of this Hath to draw from the system all mi
nerals that may be U4ged tnerein, to the great detriment
of health. Very offen persons are afflicted by diseases
wjiicli are bcyo'nd the comprehension of the most skilful
physician*, and are the effect of poisonous mine
rals accumulating in the sy'stfertl' for" years, taken iu the
shape of calomel, lead, Ac. Ac.
The following are some of the diseases cured by these
baths; Rheumatism, Paralysis, Palsy, Painter's Uholic,
Chronic Ulcers, Glandular Swelling*, Scrofula, Cancer,
Xcnralia in all its form*, Salt Rheum and Hwors of all
kinds.
He has also S.B. Rmith'snewlv inventctT'fßECT AND
TO-AXD FRO ELECTRO M AGNETIC MACHINE, which
is a great improvement on the Magnetic machines hereto
fore in use. With the aid of the Bath and Machine,
have at command all the available medical efficiency of
Electricity. The medical power of the Machine is verv
great, in "introducing medicines in!o the system through
the pores of the skin—applying it directly to the parts af
fected, whicn'gWfs an increase of medicinal power over
that of taking it into the stomach, rendering it particular
ly efficacious in all locs i'diseases,
I'am' ntoW prepared to apply these Baths, and also the
Machines, at rav house in the south prt of the borough
of Towanda, or 1 will visit patients at a distance, who are
unable by reason of disease to come to this place, at mo
derate prices. , ,
