HORSE BREEDING.

The New York Times, in the course Of q
recent article, took occasion to urge very
strongly the breeding of horses, with
view Of developing and fixing the useful
instead of the more g fancy" qualities:
and some of the suggestion, like the fol-
lowing, are worthy of all commentator:
I'VE would impress on our readers the
necessity of forming pure race; not tax
ing any animals at haphazard, just as they
may come, but steadily holding on to a
certain thing, and then going on from good
to better. Large breeders can afford to
| keep stations, but the small farmer must
depend on the taste and judgement of his
Weather neighbor. In this country,
where all is left to private speculation and
enterprise, the lucky man gets on at the
cost of his less fortunate friend. It is
otherwise in Europe.
In England there are fifty, if not one
hundred, excellent sires for every one that
there is in the United States. Then Eng
! lish nobleman let their stations on easy
terms to their tenants: and not only do
they do SO. but they give large prizes for
the produce of these stations. Then the
Queen is a breeder of first. class horses, and
Her Majesty patronizes the breeding of
high-bred horses most generously.
The horses of this country, in the ag-
gregate, strike the newly arrived European
as poor spiritless animals, overtasked and
underfed. Those that pretend to some
blood are either coarse, lengthy animals,
or light weedy ones. There are here few,
indeed. of the stout, short-backed, low,
clean-bred horses peculiar to the British
Isles, and invaluable as saddle and harness
horses.
Here speed alone. and not speed and
endurance, is the dissiderat,tm. A horse
that goes like the wind for mile is lust
good for that mile and no more. OF what
avail, then, is his speedo He can carry no
weight he only serves to demoralize his
master, who bets and wins, to bet again
aud lose, until he either sees the folly of
his course, or until he goes out with burst
up-laughed at by some pitied by Others"

FARM and HOUSEHOLD.
BLOODY NILk IN COWS.

]. Clayton inquiries what to do for 4
helier giving bloody milk. The answer
will concern very many farmers. especially
those who feed high to produce great
flow of milk. regardless of consequences.
Mr.. c. thinks snakes sucking the COW is
the cause of bloody milk. This is highly
improbable; the cause may be a weakness
Of the small OWENS, the result of ill.,
sufficient amount of iron in the system; or
canker may be the cause. Ii the former
there are three sure remedies, white beans,
copperas and alders. Beans and alders
are the most natural remedies, for the
reason that they take up more iron than
almost any other vegetable. Give per day
one quart of beans or one teaspoonfull Of
copperas, or feed as much alder boughs as
she will eat. If cows are kept in pastures
where alders grow, they will not be apt to
be troubled with bloody milk. If the trou-
BILE arises from canker, feed white or hard
pine boughs, or one teaspoonfull of rosin
per day till cured.
If dairymen whose herds are troubled
with pleuro-pneumonia and nothing else,
would make them eat pine boughs the COM
plant would soon leave them
1t is not a very easy thing for pleuro-
pneumonia to fasten its deadly poison on
the human or animal system when suffi-
ciently charged with iron. If all would

GOOD WALKS FOR WINTER

! There are too many farmers in all sec
tons who are in the habit of neglectins
matters aud things about the dwellings and
out-bnildings, which may be called small
comforts. In many cases they are over
looked and are not considered of sufficient
Importance to deserve attention, at least
any special attention. Among these there
Is nothing that add more, not merely to
the comfort and convenience, but to the
health of the family than good ,calts about
the house and premises. We have known
these in many Instances to b.. utterly neg.
lected. They are regarded as good enough
when the weather is dry, and when the
weather is wet they cannot be made better
And thus year after year the members of
the family are left to wade through mud to
| the cow-stables, hog pens, wood or coal
shed, to the pump or spring house, to the
place of drying the wash, and so or. Now,
tie little labor it would cost TO make hard
dry paths to all these points is not worth
mentioning. About every place there are
stones, old mortar, bricks &C., which could
be lad down III an excavation of six inches
and covered with coal-ashes. This would
last for dozen of years, and would always
be dry in five minutes after a rain. Or, in
lieu Of this, lay down board walks, which,
If taken up in the spring, after the weather
is settled and carefully piled up, will last
from eight to ten years.
Try it. 1t will save in shoe leather and
doctors bills four times as much as the
cost, leaving out Of the quuestion the great
convenience and comfort enjoyed.
RULES FOR SLEEPING.-1. Go to bed
when you are sleepy. Do not undertake
to force wakefulness when attention fails
and the brain finds its blood running slug
gishly.
= Go to bed when yon are tired. One
may be fatigued without being drowsy,
and may wish for the freedom and relaxa-
ton of couch, and it is only sin agains.
nature to sit up in such condition.
.. Late evening suppers should be
Stunned.
1. No Intoxicating drinks before going to
bed. -
5. ADJUSTMENTS which try the brain and
excite the nervous system unduly are not
good before going to bed.
G. To get sufficient sleep in tho night,
60 to bed early enough to get all the rest
that the system needs
T. There should at least be Il regular
hour for rising in the morning.
8. Do not, however, fix the hour for rjs-
ing too early.
.. Do not work before breakfast.
10. DO not take much exercise before
breakfast.-Hsrald Of Health.
A neat, clean, fresh aired, sweet, cheer
full, well-arranged house exerts Il moral
influence over its inmates, and makes the
members of family peaceablo and con-
siderate of each others feelings and hap
Giness. The connection is obvious between
the state of mind thus produced and re-
spect for others, and for those higher duties
and obligations which no laws can enforce.
On the contrary, II filthy, squald, noxious
dwelling, in which none of the decenciss
of life are observed, contributes to make
it's inhabitants selfish, sensual and regard
less of the feelings of others, and The con-
slant Indulgence of such passions render
them reckless and brutal.

Monarch, which plies between this city and lth-
AGA, had long interview with John Iraynorr, a
deck hand which resulted in his leaving his
work aud accompanying the officers to New Jer-
sew. Traynor stated to friend before leaving
that he was in trouble about the Colvocorosses
affair. the pistol, which was found besides the
deceased having been traced to his possession,
but that he could satisfactorily prove that he
had received il from a man named Brenner
some nine months ago; and had sold 1T shortly
after to man who he believed to be now re-
siding 10 Paterson. Since Traynor left the boat
nothing direct has been heard from him, but
from private sources 1t has been ascertalneo
that he and the officers are on the track OF the
last known possessor of the weapon which cut
short the eccentric captain career. ouperin-
tendent Kelso, Captain Irving. and Detectives
Simugton and Woodbridge have been engaged
for the past few days in endeavorlng to ferret
out the Whereabouts of Traynor. 1t has been
ascertained that the matter is partly IN the
hands of a private detective Office in New York,
and that it is to the interest the concern to
keep the matter secret The captain of the
canal boat'who instituted the inquiry for Tray
nor left the city yesterday, and will not be back
for several days. He states that Iraynor IS u
very we'll educated yound man and belongs to
an old and honorable family. The private de-
tcctiye Office above alluded to was visited by
the writer yesterday, but little information was
Forthcoming. 1t was Unlimited, however, that
very good clue had been obtained, and that
the Bridgeport mystery is in fair way Of be-
ing cleared up. The pistol with which the
captain was shot is in the possession of the prl-
waite detectives who refuse to state where the
clue is being followed up, but do not deny that
inquiries are being prosecuted in New jersey
