The keeper even has to sleep III the

man has his bunk. When the giraffe
is lying down, its head nestles close to
the face of its keeper, and thus the
two slumber lovingly side by side. The
young man has had charge of the
animal only since it landed in this

which started with it was lost in the

to have been transferred to the man,

Five Thousand Dollars for Horse Yet
Unborn.

The latest specimen of New York
horse enterprise is that of Robert Bon
ner, of the Ledger, paying S., 900 for a
horse yet unborn. You see Bonner's
favorite colt "Startle 'troteed a quar-
ter of mile, to road wagon, the 9TH
er day, in 80 seconds,-equal to a mile
in 2:12, which ties Dexter's best time.
No sooner had the wondrous little horse
accomplished this feat than Bonner
started for Poughkeepsie, where lives
the dame Of "Startle," who happens
just now to be preparing to present her
owner with brother, or mayhap a sis.
ter to that fast youth. For this "little
stranger, the eager Bonner lays down
the handsome sum aforesaid, taking all
chances Of its being colt or lilly, or,
IN fact, of its arriving in good order at
all. Bonner is not a betting man, and
never trots his horse for money; if he
did, he'd have matters so fixed that
this colt would come into the world
and find himself with half-a-dozen
races already on his hands-or feet.

Importance or q Frequent Chanxo Of
Seed.

1t has long been observed by intelli-
gent farmers that seed or plants pro-
cured from distant places, within the
the same collateral parallels of latitude,
appear to grow with more strength and
vlgor in their new stations then when
kept and cultivated in their native
places. On this fact all the rules for a
change of seed, or of one species of
plants for another of the same genus.
are founded. A change of seed is al
most always practically safe and emf
nently beneficial. A change of seeds.

Land plants, as trees, for instance,
occupy the same spot for ages, but they
at last decay from sheer decrepitude.

many of them are furnished, some

a change of air. Every one we'll &C.
quainted with the growth of plants
know that they require q frequent
change of soil, though but few consid-
er that change of air is also beneficial.
1t is well known that some plants thrive
better in one locality than another.
There are plants that never thrive, nor
scarcely live, in Che smoky atmosphere
OF London, but when removed to dis
lance of wenty or thirty miles from
that city, grow luxuriantly.
The Belgian farmer raises excellent
crops of cereals, roots, grasses, etc..
and they are very particular in the 80
lection Of seed, in procuring it from q
foreign country, il possible, and in
sleeping it in liquid manure before
sowing. In the north of Ireland, where
flax is grown extensively, the farmers
prefer seed brought from Russia or
Holland to that grown by themselves,
as they find the change very beneficial.
The finest dubious andtuberous rooted |
Towering plants are annually imported
into England, the United States, etc.,

change is very beneficial for two or

A little lampblack added helps the

a rag and rub off the harness, and you
will find that the hardest leather and
the stiffest tugs have become very piia.

never touch them. If they are dirty it
is not necessary to clean before oiling.

is an immense iron tube, intended to be
sunk from twenty-eight to thirty feet

by its own buoyancy and by cables and

twenty feet in diameter, and made oil

buoyancy of the tube will be equal to
the weight of train of cars, and an
