Norman Horses

Mr. William J. Flagg, in his book
on European Vineyards" gives the
following item on Norman Horses,
which he met with in the Bordeaux
district.
"'Why, there is one of Rosa Bon
hours hOrses! 1 exclaimed, as a dray
went by the omnibus, drawn by one
Of the larger specimens of that admir-
BILE race of animals which the well
known engraving Of the horse market
has made familiar with us on paper.
'Isit possible those casks are full? Yes,
replied my neighbOr on the opposite
seat, and there are fifteen of them,
each holding 228 litres, and the wood
weighing good $50 kilOs. But they
can well do that those Normandy
fellows-beasts of nerve they are.
a'And inquiries repeatedly made
while / remained i'm France sat
isfed me that it was indeed possible
for the heavy draft horses of Norman-
DIV to draw one of those enormous
draws, that are made fOrthem between
three and four tons. If we could re-
place our six millions of nags, of one
sort and another, with One-third their
number Of a breed like this, the two
millions would do the workOf the six,
at a saving of feed and attendance,
equal to double the interest Of FOUR ma
tiOnal blessing. Thus computing, /
said to myselfthat III had left behind
me a land Of steam, Ihad found a land
Of horses.
1.-TWO farmers, whom I afterwards
met while travelling in Normandy,
told me the Perche country vas really
the home of the breed called Norman
and that it was their custom to buy
from there six months colts, which
they raised and broke, working them
from two years old, and selling them
when they got to be five or six years
old, the price obtained for full grown
and well brOken animals ranging from
500 to $3.50. am glad to learn they
are at length bringing them to Ameri-
ca, where a late importation sold for
prices which averaged $780,"

SeasOnabIe Hints.

GRAPE BUNCHES.-DO not allow
grapevines to Overbear. Many young
vineyard has been injured If not ru-
ined by carrying too much fruit. No
vices often delight TO show how many
grapes they have on their young vines,
and to tell how many tons per acre
their new vineyards have yielded.
They might as we'll boast of making a
young horse sick by hard driving.
Thin out the punches as soon as they
have set, and let the crop be small. 1t
will be all the better i'm quality, and
the vines will preserve their health
and vigOr.
GRAPE LAYERS.-These may be
easily made on a small scale by the
amateur, Oh by the farmer who wishes
to plant out an additional vine or two,
by laying down a good strong shoot of
this summers growth, and burying it
q few inches deep at the middle.
Roots will be thrown out at the Joints,
and by taking up before winter and
cutting in two, two good plants will
be made from each layer. If the lay
ing down is done too soon, the shoot
will be soft, and may rot if left too
late, there will not be time enough for
the roots to form. The proper season
is just when it is beginning to assume
a little Of the hardness of wood. The
formation Of layers exhausts a vive in
the same way that Tunners exhaust
strawberries ; they should therefore be
s~paringly made from bearing vines.
If the summer happens to be very
dry, the soil at the buried part must
be kept moist by mUlching.

THE CENTURY PLANT AT ROCKIES
TER.-At the time of a recent visit to
the nurseries of Messrs. Frost & Co.,
at Rochester we found that their GEN.
tury plant (AgdUe AB1ericdnG,) now
preparing to bloom, had thrown up a
stem fourteen feet high, on which the
flower buds were beginning to form,
This flower stem is four inches in di-
ameter at the base, and gradually
tapers 20 two inches at the top. It is
now growing at the rate Ofthree inches
a day, the growth being much more
in sunshine than on cloudy or cool
days. The greatest growth was five
six inches in Oneday. The leaves are
four or five feet long-sOme of them
six feet-and the plant stands in rich
soil in q brick compartment, twelve
feet square and three feet deep. The
hot house in which it stands has been
raised to thirty feet high for its special
accommodation, and.a platform made
near the top is reached by stairs, for a
closer examination of the flowers.
This plant is about seventy years old
and has been in the possession of
Frost d Co. thirteen years. It is the
striped leaved variety. The age at
which the century plant flowers
depends greatlyOn the treatment they
receive, varying from thirty to a
hundred years and more neglected
specimens never Towering at all.

A BERBERRY RUsT.-A very re-
markable discovery has been made by
a Danish philosopher, an account OF
which has recently appeared in the
proceeding of the Royal Danish SOci-
ETY.. He finds that many of the small
parasitic plants known as mildew,
mould, smut, rust, &c, produce dis
tinct plants alternately that is to say
the rust on the Berberry plant may
ripen to day apod Ofseed (called spOres)
which will produce the wheat rust ;
tomorrow q pod which viii produce
itself; then the wheat rust, then the
Berberry rust, and so alternately tOthe
end Of the life Of the little parasite.
The seed Of the wheat rustvessels will
never terminate unless they have a
wheat plant or its allies TO terminate
On /; and so Of the Berberry rust. It is
n of the most wonderful discoveries
that has been made in botany for
many years, and very interesting for
the fact, as we have seen, of les settling
the discussion about the Berberry rust
on wheat, as also showing that the
practical maj is not always at fault
merely because science, so-Galled says

"OUR CONGRESSMAN" !" the Honorable
J. Cessna, manufacturer of Postmasters
and Internal Revenue officials for the
Sixteenth Congressional district, has
returned home, The Honorable j. is
a a.member of the Committee on Elec-
tions. This is the Committee of which
the Hon. II. l.. Dawes, of Massachu-
satts. janotller radical Congressman
recently said, in public lecture, that
no respectable man would be caught
serving on it. But "our Congress
man" determined to lend it respecta-
bility, by going on it himself His
connection with those reputable trans
actions in our State Senate, the foisting
of AIcConaughy into the seat fiiehed
from Duncan and the supplanting OF
Shugert by Robson, invested his
name with wondrous luminousness.
As a rotten mackerel shines by moon
light. so do the claims of Radical con-
testants to seats in. Congress become
transparent under the effulgenee OF the
great respectability of the attorney for
-NfcConaugby and Robson. But we
said ''Our Congressman" has returned
home. He had started for South Car
olina, where the Committee on Elec-
tions had a little job to put up for the
approaching session. Several Radi-
Gals had failed to get majority OF the
votes cast for members of Congress in
their respective districts, other parties
having beaten them few thousand
votes, and it became necessary for the
Committee on elections to interfere IN
behalf of the former. But, sad to re-
late, when the Honorable J.. reached
Washington, it was discovered that
the last cent Of the contingent fund had
been e.rpeyacled and that the Committee
on elections would have to go to South
Carolina at the risk of not getting their
expenses voted them at the next Con-
gress, or not go at all. sour Con-
gressman,'', although burning with
anxiety to re-establish the respectable
ity of the Committee by personal par
ticipation in its labor, concluded that
he would face about and return TO Bed
ford. Much as he desired to serve his
country and his party, when there was
. to be no fee for his services and the
chances were that his expenses would
come out of his own pocket, he deter
mined to let country and party take
care of themselves. Therefore, "Our
Congressman" came home. Appli-
cants for marshaiships to take the
census, please take notice.

FITLY SPoKEN.-The outrageous
swindle by which some of the demo-
cratic candidates in Philadelphia were
deprived Of certificates of election, has
disgusted even some of the radical ed
itors. The NorristoWn Independent,
thorough-going radical paper,
in an article under the caption of
Fraud and Forgery" thus alludes to
this disreputable business;
1--WE trust every republican Journal
in the will State censure with such terms
of severe reproach as the subject mer-
its, the gross forgery of false returns in
Philadelphia, by which two democrats,
who were honestly elected to office,
were cheated out of the certificates of
election, by an alteration of the figures.
We trust the guilty parties, whoever
they may be, will be brought to speedy
punishment. Such rascals as have
done this dirty work, bring the party
into disrepute, and destroy its useful
ness and power, Let them be spurned
and kicked from all decent society.
All the newspapers give the figures
showing Mr.. Diamonds election be-
yond controversy, and he should be al
lowed his seat in the State Senate,
democrat as he is, in spite of the fraud
by which he is deprived of his certiti-
cate,n
