Color as Indication Of Quality.

Many persons attach much impor-
lance to the color of a horse, while
others contend that such an idea is
entirely fanciful. Here is what a
veterinary correspondent of the
Country Gent1emon says upon the
subject:
''ln the first place l must appar-
emily contradict myself, for color
has really nothing to do with either
good OF bad qualities; instead of
which, temperament has all to do
with color, or nearly so. Now as to
the dark chestnut or dark brown;
so far as my experience goes, they
and the blood-bay are more exempt
from disease than any other
color, if we except the dun, or
as it is enormously called, the
cream, which is much objected to.
Dapple or dark grays are subjected
to fungus excrescences, commonly
called warts. Black horses are, ac-
cording to my experience, more
subject to affections of the eyes than
any other color; also in the feet they
are faulty, and though pretty, arc
not of vigorous, rugged constitu-
ton. What horseman does not OF
his own experience know what the
different shades of the sorrel a. G
subjected to? They are as rule
most skittish. Who among exper-
fenced, good horscmen does not
know that among all the balky
horses that he has ever known, at
least more than half were light sor-
rels, or sorrels of some shade. The
most vicious Of all horses are to lie
found among the sorrels. For IL
telligence, or general usefulness, for
beauty, and for all purposes for
which the horse may be required,
the above three colors will fill the
bill. Let no person for a moment
understand me to affirm that there
are no good, yea very good horses
Of all and every shade of color, but
| do not wish to be understood to
mean this. In breeding breed al
ways from the best, for it costs no
more N any sense. The white horse
IS usually Of good constitution, and
doclle; the spotted horse is very
hardy, but by most persons much
objected to on account OF color only.
As to size, black horses are perhaps
the largest all over the world, ex-
cept our American Black Hawks:
chcstnuts, browns and bays are
among the largest; some grays are
large, but not as rule.
During my twenty years profess
slonai experience, | have had seven
idiots termcd among the horse fra
ternity of jockeys, dumbies); six of
these were black and one a roam.

Does Dairying Improve Land?

There is no question but that
lands may be kept in fertility and
increased in productivcness with
more ease, and with less expense
under the dairy than under a sys-
TEN of grain-growing. The dairy
farmer has the means at his COM
mand for making large quantities
Of manure. That he is wasteful of
this material, and injudicious in its
application, it may be often, and
perhaps, as a general rule, is charg-
ed against him. Still, under all
mismanagement in this regard, it is
believed that dairy lands are stead
lily improving in the elements of
fertility, and are now in better
heart for grain crops than when
grain-growing was made the bust
ness of the farm. 1t is true that
upon many farms the yield Of grass
is much less than it should be, but
this is not so much on account of
any lack of fertility in the soil, as
from neglect of proper culture-al-
lowing weeds tolcreep in, overstock-
ing. pastures, feeding down the
aftermath of meadows, cuttino grass
when over-ripe, and other abuses
which, in time, have served to les
sen the product. When farms
have been properly managed, and
have received the liquid and solid
excrement of the stock, judiciously
applied, they have been wonderfully
improved, and are annually yielding
immense crops.
The dairymen of Central New
York, where dairying has for long
time been for a long time been fol-
lowed as a speciality, are generally
"well off," as to worldly goods, and
in wealth compare favorably with
farmers in any other part of the
State. Dairy lands, we think, have
increased in value more rapidly
than the grain lands of the State.
Herkimer county, the oldest
cheese-growing county in New
York, contains about 27s,OOo acres
of improved land. This is divided
up into two thousand farms of fifty
acres and over, and a thousand
farms running from three to twenty
acres; or, in all, say about three
thousand farms. The value of pro
duets taken from the farms in 1864,
according to the State census, were
as follows:
Dairy products, .......... 3,157,129
Grain products ......... 1,106,7S0
Some thirteen other products. 1924 ,SS2

Now, if this sum was equally
divided among the 5000 farms, it
would give each farm s2,263 as the
average income. But as there are a
thousand farms that run from three
to twenty acres, or that are under
fifty acres each, some idea may be
had as to whether the farming is as
productive in its results rs in other
sections. If we have figured cor
rcctly, the average product per acre

Gus containing fifty of the best perform
ers known to the profession, is coming
and will pitch its three colossal tents in
Rutland Thursday, August 10th.
Iu the formation and embodiment of
this gigantic amusement enterprise, the
indomitable and audacious Barnum las
been literally letting himself out, to see
what can be done in the way of astonish-
ing the world with one OF the grandest
affairs ever known, in the form of large,
legitimate, moral, high toned and first
class exhibition, being three times larger
than an ordinary show, and exhibited in
three separate mammoth tents, for only one
price of admission. 1t is not to be
wondered at if everybody unites in pro-
nouncing this the largest and best show
they have ever seen.
If Barnum don't know how to do
things up in big style, and how to cater
to and please the most discriminate and
exacting public, then we confess to lack
of judgment of human nature.
Forty years in the show business, ought
to give any man prominence in the pro-
fession but sharp and shrewd yankee
like Barnum, would be likely to make a
hit in the world, and he has done it in q
manner best known to the people Of both

GREAT EXCITEMENT AT NEWPORT
VT.-On Monday afternoon last the pro
prietor of the Lake Mem phremagog House
received a dispatch asking that rooms
might be reserved for General Sherman
and party. 1t was at once supposed that
Gen. w T. Sherman, who once made 8
somewhat memorable march to the sea
was shortly to reach this we'll known re-
sort. The patriotic landlord aud other
individuals at once held a small mass
meeting, and it was determined that the
General should be received with all the
honors. Unfortunately the best Ameri-
can flag in town had been loaned to the
residents of Derby Line. A telegraph
was dispatched to bring down the nation
al emblem by the next train. 1t was
also concluded that salute would be in
order, and q piece of artillery was soon
brought into position between the depot
and the hotel. AS the train came in,
bang, bang, bang, went the piece, to the
utter astonishment of the passengers on
the train, who at first imagined that a
nitro glycerine explosion had taken place.
succession of bangs followed, which
destroyed some thirty panes of glass 10

horses in town. The hero of this grand
ovation alighted from the cars. and when
he registered his name as F. t. Sherman
of Chicago there was another grand ex-
plOsion, and some one exclaimed "sold" 80
loudly that it woke the echoes of the old
Memp mphremsgog. They had been laugh
ing all along the line at this grand ova-
tion. The genuine W. T. s. is quietly
