December Fashi ons-Thc Ncvy STYLES
for CIoals, Sc

Aok &1Ost SSc.
The cold weather of November
displaced the salinas, basoues and
Sacques made of silk aud light mate
rlalS, which have been so much worn
dnrlng the past two months. We
gather from the fashion Journals
that the cloaks now cominginto vogue
are more elaborately trimmed than
iormely-the heaviest fabric with
jet fringe and jet embroidery, while
lace Is still much used for trimming
velvet. Every style OF cloak is worn
shorter this winter than last wear.
Though this would seem to call for a
reduction of expense, the costly trim
ming keeps the price as high as ever,
and the average cost of cloaks is per
haps greater than usual.
The basQulne, which was the pre-
valilng style last year, will be worn
by those who prefer it, for reasons OF
their own, but it is no longer the
general favorite. Short, loose sacoues.
made mp of heavy material, for com
tort and ordinary wear, will be the
fashionable style; some will be van
Iyked around the bottom, or SEQ lop-
ed and trimmed, or made perfectly
PLAIN, except that there will be or
naments on the shoulders, to suit the
taste and means OF the wearer. Cir
cuars are also quite in favor, parti-
cillarly those made with military
cape, which rounds in front, and is
usually trimmed with heavy fringe.
The peplum basque, made either
loose or close-titting, to suit, has
many admirers, but is better adapted
to fall wear than for severe cold
weather. Every style has decided
variations in the mode OF trimming.
to please particular tastes.
A loose peplum basque, made OF
rich black material, is qaite novelty.
At the back it extends but a few inch
es below the waist, while the sides
and front are @ quarter of yard
longer. Ihe sleeves are formed of
lappe.s falling from the shoulders
over the arms III long points. It is
trimmed with Jet ornaments and
fringe. The trimming covers the
seams that join the back to the sides
and the fringe at the back is very deep.
1t has an old look, and will not be
becomming to all figures, or all STYLES
of dress.
A loose sacque, quite short in front
and much deeper at the sides and
back, is another novelty. The sleeves
OF this are coat sleeves, and the sacoue
is trimmed with Jet.
An elegant velvet cloak is made in
circular style, with long and wide
flowing sleeves, and trimmed with
wide point lace
A new style, recently imported
and called the Russo, is attractive for
the beauty of its design and its rich !
ness. The material is purple cloth
and It's shape is something like a
circular, with points at the back and |
front, the sides being much shorter
The sleeves are flowing, and hang at
the SIDE in a deep point. The cloak
IS nearly covered with jet, embroider-
ed IN beautiful designs Of leaves and
flowers, which have a fine effect.
A pretty, closet fitting peplum
basque is of cloth, the blue shade Of
purple, and neatly trimmed with q
cord and narrow fold, with points of
rich black silk. A short, loose sacoue
OF brown tnfted cloth is made with !
out trimming.
In opera cloaks there is the usual
variety, but nothing very novel or

Written for The Vermont Farmer.
Invocation to June.
ny MRs. OLIVE E. THOMAS.

Come with the crown of thy Beauty, oh, June
Come, with song in thy mouth
Tread the green valleys of sunlight and bloom
Peace-breathing winds of the South
Yonder the apple-blooms silently drift
Over the hillside their snow
Softly above us, between the cloud-rift,
Radiant promises glow.
May is departing from woodland and hight
Where her blue violets shine
Pure is their beaming, but dearer the light
That the young roses entwine.
Many day hath battle stained face,
Sadly meath banner and sword
Seen but the summer, whose red roses graced
Victory's banqueting board.
Long have pined mid thy roses to stand,
Weaving their garlands of bloom;
Haste then to crown the sweet peace of our lane
Beautiful goddess of June

rses--Crossing with Thorough
BREEDS.

The following five points are
reached in recent article by Mr.. W.
c. Spooner, in the Journal Of the
Royal Agricultural Society, as the con
illusions proved by his observation
and experience ;
~. That the use of the thorough
bred horse or mare has greatly i'm
proved the coarser breed in speed and
in bottom. That the blood has ANAL
gamated exceedingly we'll with other
breeds, and that the good result Of
even one cross only has been seen in
various degrees and for several gen
erations.
2. That the effect of crossing with
the thoroughbred is to increase the
supremacy Of the nervous and the mus
cular systems, and is more particular
ly shown in the fuller development Of
the thighs, the headquarters, and the
elOngation of the muscles generally
But that with these advantages the
bones, joints, ligaments, and sinew:
are smaller and less powerful, and the
action, although quickened, is rendered
lower and less safe. The ability fol
jumping, and for carrying heay.
weights without injury to the joint
and sinews, is greatly diminished
The skin is also rendered thinner ant
more liable to abrasion, the carcas
smaller, and there is a diminished
capability for putting on flesh.
3. That so long as suitable mare
with sufficient substance can be pre-
cured, the breeder Of hunters should
on the rare occasions when they ar
offered, avail himself of the service
of frst-class thoroughbred stallion
or even one of the second-class, pre-
vided he has hunting qualifications
good substance, or good high actio
in the trot or walk.
4. If, going a step further in that d
rection, the breeder seeks to put tn
female progeny to the blood-horse, h
will most frequently fail, the offsprin
becoming too light; whilst if he ha
availed himself of the half-bred c
three parts-bred stallion the grandso
of great race-hOrse,) his stock, ha'
ing the same amount of breeding {
the dam, would have afforded him
fair chance of realizing a high pric
and failing this, a comparative ce
tainty of a fair sale for the cavalry,
for the general market.
5. Having duly recognized Il
claims of thoroughbred horses Of t
first and second class, we can Oh
advise, with regard to the third a
inferior classes, that their services
altogether dispensed with, their pla
being taken by three-fourths or he
bred stations, possessing bone, 81
stance, and good hunting qualiii

AMERICAN WHEAT RETURNED FROM

AMERICAN WHEAT RETURNED FROM
EURoPE.-It may interest flour buyers
who pay $40 to $22 per barrel for
that article to know that the State
Department at Washington, on Tues
day, under date of the 4th inst, reed
from the United States Consul at Liv-
erpool, a dispatch, stating that the
steamer City ofDublin would sail for
New York from that port on the en-
suing day, laden with $4,000 bushels
of wheat, which, he was informed had |
been imported from the United States
and was now being returned for sale
in this country. This, a Washington
paper says, furnishes an illustration

serves to exhibit the complete control

PAsTURAGE OF Cows.-It is we'll
known that Cheshire, England, is a
great dairy county. This lies not far
from Liverpool. Chester, the market
, town, is perhaps a dozen or fifteen
miles from that city. Most Of the land
has been underdrained, and top dress
ed with ground bones, and such land
will carry one COW to the acre. Where
it has not been top dressed and drain
: ed COW will require two acres.
They use 1900 to 1900 weight of

years. How many acres does it take

Manufactures Give Ten-fold Value to
Farms.

McQueen's statistics of the wealth |
and annual income of England show
ed:
|. That the value of the soil de-
voted to agriculture comprehended, at
the time, twenty six forty-thirds OF the
total wealth of the Kingdom.
II. That the value of England's
agricultural soil was nearly twelve
times greater than her whole capital
invested in manufactures and CON-
merce.
Ill. That the money employed in
her agriculture comprehended more
than three-fourths of the capital Of
England.
". That the manufacturing and
commercial capital of England, includ-
ing her ships, constituted but about
one-eighteenth of her national wealth.
V. That the agricultural capital
of England, which was then G3,311,-
100000, produced a gross income of
thirteen per cent; while the manufac-
turing and trading capital, which was
but G31S,000,000, yielding yearly a
gross income of 100 per cent.
1t is that magic capital Of 318,0O0,-
