A Wrinkle About the Age or Horses.

A short time ago we met a gentle
man from Illinois, who gave us apiece
of information in regard to ascertain
ing the age of horse, after he or she
had passed the ninth year, which was
new to us, and will be, we are sure, to
most of our readers. 1t is this: after
the horse is nine years old, a wrinkle
comes on the eyelid at the upper cor
ner of the lower lid, and every year
thereafter he has one well-defined
wrinkle for each year over nine. If,
for instance, a horse has 3 wrinkles,
he is twelve; if four, he is thirteen.
Add the number of wrinkle in nine,
and you will get it. So says the gen.
tleman and he is confident it will
never fail. As good many people
have horses over nine, it is easily
tried. If true, the horse dentist must
give up his trade.-Field and Fire

Stock Farming.

Gen. Capron, Commissioner Ut Az
ricu:ture, in his forthcoming report
says:
1.-The tendency of present prices of
farm products indicates the necessity
of increased atten ton to the prOpaga-
ton, growing and fattening of farm
animals, and to the production of
meats, poultry, butter, chcrse, milk,
and various other animal products,
while the prevalence of special crop
ping, upon a depicting and exhaustive
system, cnforccs urgently the appeal
for a mixed husbandry based upon
stock raising" .....,.,.. *

The deficiency of forests in certain
parts of California is at present at
tracing attention in that State, and
the journals are pressing upon farm
ers the necessity of planting walnut,
hickory, orange, and locust trees, as
sorting that the crops would yield a
fair return for the expenditure. Thus
a grove of L, 900 English walnut trees
in Los Angeles county, one-fourth in
bearing, is reported to yield an aver
age of $50 a tree, or $ll2,5OO in the
aggregate. Besides this, ii is asserted
thew would affect the climate benefi-
cially. In Egypt it is said, the con-
struction of the fresh water canal
from the Nile to Ismailia, caused an
ancient, dried-up basin to be covered
with vegetation, and the trees, when
grown up, changed the temperature
of the air, and produced heavy rains.

A letter from Gottingen says: LA.
dies here are surprised at woman's po-
sition i'm America, and quite shocked
at the modern idea of wOman's rights.
That a gentleman should give up to a
lady his seat i'm crowded house or
public conveyance is as astonishing to
them-they never heard of such thing
i'm Germany. Wives carry garments
and packages for their husbands, and
not husbands for their wives. Married
women expect their husbands to spend
their evenings at the club or museum,
cofiee-house or beer-house, instead OF
being society for them and making
home attractive. 1t is perfectly proper
for a young lady to go home alone
through the streets i'm the evening-it
would be highly improper for young
gentleman to accompany her."

How "From Greenland's Icy Meun.
tains" Happened to be Written.

Some thirty or forty years ago ser.
mons were to be preached OIL n par.
ticular Sabbath in the town of Wrex.
ham, i'm the North of Wales, in behalf
of the Society for the Propagation OF
the Gospel i'm Foreign Parts. The
clerk of the parish church; to whom
in those times belonged the selections
of the singing, came i'm very discon-
ISOLATE to the Vicar of the parish, and
told him there was no hymn suitable
for such a subject. The son-in-law OF
the Vicar happened to be in al the
time visiting him, and the Vicar, turn
ing to his son-in-law, said, Iou are
bit of q poet; you see the distress of
my clerk, and what he has to do; 1
wish you would relieve him by writ
ing hymn for this occasion. and we
will have it struck of and printed
Let il be of simple, easy measure,
and will have il sung on the Sabbath
The son-in-law of the Vicar retired to
a corner of the room, and in an hour
and half produced hymn. The
hymn was sent to the printers, sheets
were struck off aid distributed i'm
every pew, and it was sung on the
next Sabbath.
Twenty years afterwards, the same
Congregational minister of Wrexham
hunted up, i'm fhe lumber room, the
manuscript of this old hymn, and this
was the autograph which l had the
pleasure of looking upon" Reginald
Heber;;" and the hymn was,
From Greenland's icy mountains,
From Indias coral strand
q hymn which has inspired, perhaps,
more of missionary spirit i'm the chur-
ches than any Qther.-Rer. ". Morley

How THE Music OF 1T WAS COMPos-
ED.-The familiar air of Bishop He
ber's hymn "From Greenland's Icy
Mountains" was composed in Savan-
nah, Ga, i'm 1927, by Lowell Mason,
then a resident of that city, who soon
afterwards published it in Boston,
with dedication to the lady who
brought the hymn to his notice-Miss
Mary w. Howard, afterwards tie wife
of Rev. F. r. Goulding, author of the
Young Marooners." etc.-Mobae
