State, that we show larger proportion ofgood
horses than any other State in the Union.
This, we tell them, is owing to two principal
reasons in the first place, we breed from the
very best stock and in the second place, our
people use Sheridadn's Cavalry Condition Pow

advantage.

We extract the following from the
Irish Sportsman and Farmer. "With
respect to the growth of horses, so far
as regards height, it generally discon-
tinues between three and four years
cid. After three years old the limbs
very seldom become longer, but the
carcase increases in depth between the
top OF the wlthers and that portion of
the chest Immediately beneath it. Pro-
lessor Ferguson some years ago discov-
cred that the measure Of the fore-limb
Of three-year- old colt or FLY, from
the centre of the pastern joint, is the
measure Of that portion of the adult
animal between the centre Of the elbow
joint and the top OF the wither. Thus,
it IS wanted to know what increased
height a three-year-old will attain when
he or she shall have reached maturity,
1t Is only necessary TO ascertain how
much greater the distance is between
the elbow joint and the top of the
Withers. The difference between these
two measurements viii nearly exactly
indicate the maxium height the animal
Will attain in the ordinary course of
nature, on arriving at maturity. This
rule has for some time been recognized
IN the cavalry of the English and Con-
tinental armies as almost infalibIe.
Bones are continually, though slowly,
changing their structure; but
as to their length, the bones
OF horses generally discontinue their
elongatlon at about between four and
four and half years old. With respect
to substance and structure, they are
not not quite developed until the ami
NAL IS about five years old" There is

There are a number of words in the
English language each of which con-
tains all the five regular vowels, but it
would puzzle almost any one to think
of more than one or two at short no.

examples: Education, mansuration,
reputation, regulation, emulation,
perturbation, reputation. Besides
these there are several words each con.
tanning all the novels, including the
''y." Of these we may mention revo

tionably. The word lnvisibilIty may be
noted as peculiar word, for it CON

sippi and Tennessee are each spelled
with only four different letters Of the
alphabet, although one contains eleven

words in the English language of more

Before person begins the breeding
or keeping of fowls, he should mark
out some definite plan for his houses,
etc, keeping in mind on the outset
that the memories should as a general
rule face the south, for fowls like
flowers, will always thrive best when
they have plenty of sun and light, pure
air and free ventilation, without drafts.
We would recommend, if it were posi-
bic, to have two sets of breeding houses,
and to secure success in Matching, mate
your adult cock birds with yearling pull
lets, and the yearling cockerels with
adult hens two or not exceeding three
years cd, and the produce in almost all
cases will prove healthy and vigorous
birds
Do not neglect to feed your breeding
stock regularly and-at stated periods,
and see that they have clean, fresh wa
ter Immediately after giving them their
feed, If you are not fortunate enough
to possess a self-watering fountain. We
do not believe In the idea advanced by
some shiftless breeders, that because
the ground is covered with snow in the
vicinity Of your coops or runways, your
thirst sufficiently with snow Our ex-
perience is that fowls allowed to Stake
their thirst with snow for any length
of time are liable to scours and diar-
rhcea, and eventually death.
There certainly is no difficulty in
breeding fancy fowls if a person will
use ordinary care and forethought.-
And as to the profits derived therefrom
there is not a question. We have bred
fowls more or less for the past thirty
i've years, have studied their habits, and
can speak with some degree of certainty
upon the subject. Therefore we have
no hesitancy in advising those who have
repeatedly asked us the question, "Can
poultry raising under ordinary circum
stances be made to pay 2" to try and
prove The matter for themselves.
Our advice has always been in COM
mencing the business to begin on a
small scale select one or two varieties
of fowls, and experiment with them,
tdklng care to keep a correct debit and
credit account during the season, and
at the end thereof strike balance and
give us your experience for publication,
so that others may profit thereby If
you have committed errors the first sea-
son, they csn be corrected the next An
exchange of views and opinions in poul-
try breeding will prove of as much I'M
portance and benefit as in almost any
other department of misunderstanding

Tie Lananese ut tie SignaI Office.

Brig. Gen. Yamada, Col KIDD, and
a number of secretaries and interpre-
tiers of the Japanese Embassy visited
the signal office at 10B o'clock on Sat
urday evening last, to witness the prac-
tical operations of the Weather Bureau.
They were received by Gen Myres and
his assistants, Col. Mallory, and Lieuts
Craig, jackson and Greeley. There
was first explained to them the manner
Of getting the reports together in the
Washington Office how each observer
was reading his instruments at the same
moment at every station in the United
States and Canada; that the observa-
lions were all transmitted to the chief
Signal Office by telegraph, in the form
OF cipher that each message was de-
livered to the telegraph operator at a
fixed time-the operator sending it to
Washington through circuits especially
arranged for the weather reports, the
reports being " dropped" at the differ
ent stations on the line Of the circuit, SO
that each observer at each station a
few minutes after delivering his own
report was receiving the reports from
the other stations. At exactly 11:35 P.
where the Washington observer was at
that moment making what is generally
known as the midnight observation,
they accompanying HIM TO each instru-
ment, noting particularly the manner
of making the different corrections,
and then reducing the result to the
cipher to be transmitted by telegraph.
From this they went to the telegraph
room and saw the report delivered to
the operator and sent Then the re-
ports began coming in; first from the
southern stations, then from thenorth-
eastern stations, and then from the
west, following so closely, one station
upon another, that the time between
each was hardly distinguishable As
each report was received the name Of
the station was read to them, and when
ted at one moment that the weather
was pleasant at one distant place, and
at the next; as a report from another
station at a great distance from the first
came in, that d heavy storm Of snow
prevailed, their surprise seemed to be
Unbounded. While the reports were
coming IN they were shown by the oh.
server the manner of translating them.
and Of writing a number at once in the
bulletins by means Of the manifold
| process. Thence they were taken to
Lieut.. Craig's room to see the manner
of charting the reports from each sta
ton as delivered from the telegraph
operator, including the drawing Of the
isobarometric lines, their comparison
with the former reports and the process
Of deducing the probabilities )" from
this they returned to the press room,
where at ] A NJ, one hour and forty
five minutes from the time the reports
began coming, in they were each pre-
scented with maps showing the state Of
the weather all over the United States,
with the probabilities" of the weather
for Sunday.
