ENGLISH AND FRENCH HORSES. ENG
lishmen are justly proud of their horses =
The superiority of their breeds of race and
draft horses has long been admitted by 9th
er nations. Indeed, the French and Ital-
/ ians, Germans, Prussians, &C., have been
for more than century among the best
customers of the English breeders This
has been ascribed to peculiarities of climate,
by some, but agricultural writer's generally
find sufficient cause for the great excellence
of English horses in the care andskiI of the
British farmer, in respect to selection, rear
ing and feeding. ''By these MEANS" says
Mr. William Percival, lecturer and writer
of note, tive have progressed from good to
better, losing sight of no subsidiary help,
until we have attained perfection in horse
flesh unknown in the whole world beside. y
With such claim to acknowledged superiority
in breeds, the late victories of French horses
on English ground have been exceedingly
,nartifying to English pride.

A HINT IN BREEDING.-Mr. Torr, the
WellknoWn breeder of Short-Horn cattle
and leicester Sheep, in the course of some
remarks at his recent letting of the latter,
touching on breeding in general, he said =
'0The way to establish uniformity or family
LIKENESS is to begin by putting the best male
10 the best female, and continue to put the
best to the best, secondly, mot to put OPP
|posite characters together, or the traits of
both wiz be lost, but if any fresh character

done by degrees, or by that discreetselectioR

FATTENING FowLs-All summer long
the farmer and his family have fused with
the poultry the young chickens need care
in the long rain storms, and protection
against nocturnal depredators. just as they
are fully grown and out Of danger the
shrewd huckster makes his appearance, buys
fattens, and prepares them for market, and
packets the profits for his smartness.
Obviously the farmer had better fatten
his fowls and send them to market himself.
AFIe can do it with less trouble, perhaps, than
le imagines. Feed literally at all times, so
) to keep them growing thriftily but about
Tenty days before being slaughtered feed
hem in this way Make coop forone doz-
a fowls, more should not be put together.
,he coop should be three feet long, two
wide, and two and half high. Make the
sides and ends of bars about three inches
apart the bottom of round poles two inches
apart, the top of board Place this in a
comfortable room, elevated about two feet
from the floor, in the barn orpoultry house,
where the cold winds viii be kept away and
where the light viii be dim. Attach feed
ing troughs all around the outside. Com
mence feeding very light, giving but little
water the first day. Then feed regularthree
OF four times per day with the richest food,
as oat meal mixed with milk, boiled barley
or corn. Observe the utmost cleanliness,
and give supply of fresh water. In TWEEN
/ ty days the poultry should be killed. and for
such the farmer would find plenty greedy
buyers, willing to pay the highest price

RAILROAD DOORS FOR BARNS.

Lt<AAAAAoQ4AD ANO4tAJ a OAs D<AA@@fh~s
These doors are far superior to the old
fashioned doors, which reyolve on hinges. =
They are opened and closed BY means of a
rail and severn small iron trucks securely
attached to the top, and are SO constructed
as not only to close the door effectually
against the ingress Of rain, snow and cold
air, but to be very durable, and, in every re-
spect, efficient. Large doors are formed by
one inch matched boards, placed perpendlc-
{ ularly, and crossed by matched strips OF the
same in diagonal direction, or from corner
to corner on both sides. These steps are so
put,on as to represent the sheathing often
seen on fine houses, being about six inches
in width. and covering the entire surface
It viii be seen at once that three thicknesses
Of matched boards, securely nailed and thor
oughly painted, besides being so hung as to
obyiate effectualls al possibility of sagging,
AZ is the case with doors of ordinary con-
struction and workmanship when hung IN
the usual way, must secure an article OF
great efficiency and of an almost indestruct-
ible character. The labor of opening and
closing these doors may beperformed by the
merest boy, and in windy weather they are
not slaaning and endangering notonly their
own fastenings and fixtures, but the lives,
also, of all by whom they are approached.
The old fashion Of placing the trucks at the
bottom is anything but desirable, as the for
mer is liable to become clogged by snow and
ice, but when it is placed at top, no obstruc-
ton can possibly intervene from this source !;
the door glides easily along the rail, and nev-
er requirestobefo forced open by main strength.
Small doors and tie-ups, sheds, out-houses
and other similar buildings, are constructed
In similar way. They are much cheaper
than panel doors, to which they are prefer
able for all purposes where strength and
durability are admired. Germantown Tel

THE MODNsHINE TRACT.

This tract is appropriately
named the Moonshine. 1t was
purchased when the full moon
exerted the same influence upon
the oil underlying the land as it
does upon the tide-waters-it
caused the oil to rise in the fs-
sures Of tie rocks, TO such an ex-
tent as to iuundate the VIII, ic
tract. Il was first called the Lu-
M tracI, and having been purchas-
Cd tcd, some cv'l DISPOSED per
sons called it the Luna-tic tract
As this Cv.. coyno;nen was likely
10 damage the prospects Of the
Company. the Directors, at full
mcet,ns, changed it to Moon
sane.
he land on this tract is heay-
.ty timbercd, with Mahogany,
Hoseword, Ebony. Sandaiwood,
>,ight.blooming Ccreus, Century
Ta.ts, and other varieties suita-
,or building purposes, and the
Manufacture OF Theoretically seal
ed barrels.
ITnon this land and along the
marks ofCheat River, were found
4".ne fine diamonds of the first
water. The specimen On exhibit.
ion at the office of the Company
was picked up on this tract. 1t
is large and splendid Jewel,
which far exceeds in lustre the ia.

Tire most remarkable discovery

a thought for themselves. Here
also was found a correct list of
the incomes If all persons not
connected with the Company.
Immediately succeeding was a
vein of Lawyers. This was an
unfortunate strike, and fur from
profitable. Upon being landed
safely, they claim d that as they
were part Of the land, they had a
fee in it Our learned legal adj
wiser contended, upon the trial,
that as they had not been in pos
session of the surface, or soil for
twenty.oue years, they had no IT,
tie; and further, that as the vein
Immediately under them was
Birthstone, it was evident that
they were more than half way
down, and should go to the other
side. Our President also of the
legal prof ssior, objected, on the
ground that there was enough OF
the fraternity for the good of the
community without their pres
ence. The Judge decidcdin favor
of both parties, and advised a
compromise. This was done in
the usual manner. The attor-
neys of the Company took five
ninths, and the other side took
hve-ninths, leaving the balance of
the property for the Company.
This saved prctracted litigation,
and heavy charles, as our attor-
| neys were satisfied, and asked no
further compensation,
TIE CHINA OR HADES TRACT.
The whole of this magni fcent
tract has been, since it's survey,
the wonder Of the world. Every
acre is known to tc rich in Tea
of the most excellent quality.
On the Goth Of February last, at
3 A. NJ, after 81 great deal Of gas
from each Of the seventeen thou
sand wells, there was thrown out
per hour 57S3 chests of \ouny
Tyson, Souchong, Gunpow der,
Pennyroyal and Beef Tea, (also,
L rail J Tariff duties paid. d.
reclions how to initiate tea and
coffee, and an economical method
| of supplying washerwoman and
old maids. It's due to the com-
pany to state that this is not the
tea thrown overheard in Boston
harbor.)
AS it is the intention to be
strictly truthful, and not in any
way mislead, we must state, that
on this tract we have met with
some difficulties in relati n to the
title to the products of the wells.
On the 3lst day Of February after
encasing the we'll in abestos, the
borers, in working. struck somc-
thing movable. Upon sending
down a few thousand Managers,
with patent Davy's safety lamp,
they found some 1904 Chinese
wolkmen whom on inquiry, they
found to be the employees Of the
, Emperor of China, who claims
the entire product of the well, ex-
cept the L. rail. This claim was
adjusted in the same manner as
IN the case of the Ananias and
Sapphire Tract.
