The Weather.

During the past few weeks, we have had
all kinds, grades and conditions of weather;
disagreeable rainy days, clear frosty nights
bleak snow storms, an occasional bowling
breeze from the Northwest passage, and
also some of the most charming days which
we have ever beheld-days when the dying
year, like the consumptive patient. bright
ems up with brlliancy akin to joyous health
and beauty. Take it all in all, we rather
like the arrangement, for it enables us to
judge of weather affairs without travelling
for our information. 1t is said that in Eng
land this month is dark, rainy and fosgy
season, provocative of suicide, murder anc
treason. We do not know positively
whether this is SO or not, but the contrast
between the climates Of England and Amer.

have enjoyed the bracing air and cheerful

The HEIGHT A COLT WILL ATrAI.

The HEIGHT a COLT WILL ATTAIN
WHEN GROWN. Mr.. j. r. Martin, of
Lexington, Ky gives out the follow
ing upon this point:
/ Can tell you how any man may
know, within an inch, the height a
colt will attain to when full grown
The rule may not hold good in every
instance, but in nine cases out OF ten
it will. When the colt gets to be
three weeks old, or as soon as it is
perfectly straight in its limbs, meas
ure from the edge ofthe hair on the
boots 10 the middle of the first joint.
and for every inch it will grow to
the height ola hand of four inches,
when its growth is matured. Thus,
if the distance be found sixteen
inches it will mako a horse sixteen
hands high. By this means, a man
may know something Of what sort OF
:. horse, with proper care, he is to ex-
peet from his colt. Three years ago
bought two very shabby looking
colts for $40 each. and sold them
recently for 5000. So much for
knowing how TO guess properly at
colt.

Thus, if the inside of the near fore

the animal to tread mere heavily on

To correct this it is only necessary
