STABLE FLOORS.

upon the proper arrangement of the
floors of stables depends much of the
comfort of the stock and economy in
saving manure. Nothing is more Diet
rimental to the health of farm animals
than foul earthen stable floors. They
are saturated with liquid manure, they
are always damp, an unhealthy moldy
smell constantly pervadcs them, and
millions of the germs of possibly pois-
onous fungoid growths are constantly
inhaled. 1t is no wonder that there are
in consequence constant blood disorders
or bronchial or lung diseases. Besides,
the appearance and the comfort of the
animals are sacrificed, because cleanli-
ness is impossible under the circum-
stances. We very early in our exper-
fence discovered this, and for many
years were constantly experimenting to
discover the best stable floor. There
are two of which we can hardly deter
mine which is the better One of these
is double plank floor The bottom
plank is of hemlock-which is as good
as any if kept dry, and is the cheapest
ten feet long and two inches thick if
for single stalls. This lower floor being
laid is well saturated with hot gas-tar,
and the upper layer Of plank, also of
hemlock which under these circumstan-
ces is durable; and which does not be-
come so smooth or slippery as oak or
yellow pine, and is therefore safer, are
laid upon it. They are first coated
upon the under side with the tar, then
laid so that the joints are broken and
finally firmly spiked down. These
planks should be IL inch thick and /
feet long. They form the bed of the
stall, of which 1-2 feet are occupied
by the feed-trough, and 1-2 feet give
standing room for the COW. At the
ends of this bed or floor of the stall is
a depression l l-2 inch deep, into which
all the manure drops or drains This
may be made of any width that is de-
sirable When the stalls are single
two feet is sufficient width, with

PROSPECTS FOR PRICEs.-It is abso,
lutely certain that the deficiency in the
harvests of Europe will make necessary
the purchase Of $50 million bushels of
grain. 1t is equally certain that the
largest proportion of this vast quantity
must be sought in American markets.
Without trespassing upon our own re-
quirements, at least as to wheat, we
cannot spare this vast amount, nor half
of it. Prices are likely to advance
before next harvest, and many are the
devices and tricks by which spectators
hope to avail themselves of the profits
which may result from the rise in price.
There is wholesale demand for grain
now. and if farmers demand the value
of their crops they will secure it.

An Explosion ON the SIM.

Prof. Young of Dartmouth College
observed on the 7th of September, and
has recorded in the Boston Journal of
Chemistry, what appears to have been
a very sudden and violent explosion on
the surface of the snn He was exam
inIug an enormous protuberance or
hydrogen cloud on the SUMS eastern
limit, which, by his calculation, was
100, 900 miles long by 81, 900 high, float
ing at a height of 5000 miles above
the surface, and Isending down to the
sun pillars of it's own substance like a
vast banyan grove. Being called away
from the telescope few moments, he
was astonished, on returning, to find
that tbs whole cloud had been blown
into flying filaments, which rose as he
gazed, with greater rapiditv than he
had ever before observed In this sub
stance, to height of more
than 100000 miles from the solar
surface. Hydrogen in this state has
never been recorded as rising so high.
As these broken filaments streamed up
ward they, melted away like wisps of
filmy cloud. Meanwhile little cap or
knob which had been noticed near the
substance of the sun developed into a
pyramid of flame $4,000 miles in
height: there its summit was drawn
out into long filaments and threads,
which were most curiously rolled back
ward and downward like the volutes of
an Ionic capital, and finally it faded
away, and at half-past two lthe first
change was observed at five minutes to
onel had vanished like the other. A
fine aurofa horealis occurred during
the evening which Succeeded.

A Sad Case.

Occasionally innocence suffers at the
hands Of the court, although where one
guiltIess persoh is condemned twenty
rogues are acquitted. A pathetic in
stance occurred recently in Massachus
setts. A lad, Willy Clark, was arrest
ed on charge of placing a stick OF
wood OH the track near bridge, where
an accident, if it should occur at all.
would be terrible. The defense held
that the wood might have fallen on the
track from an engine, but experts said
that would be impossible, and as Will
ly had been seen in that vicinity during
the day, and no one else had, the jury
pronounced him guilty. 10 long after
a stick did fall from passing engine
near the satie spot, lodging on the
track, the experts to the contrary not
withstanding, and other evidence has
since come to light completely exoner-
citing the boy. The Executive pardon
was, however, too late, for, before it
came to hand, poor Willy was dead
the victim, it is said, of a broken heart.

rare and extremely valuable books and
MSS. relating to the early history of
the American Continent. Among them
were the original private records of the
French Commander in Chief during
the Old Seven Years War, from 1855 to
1760. There sold for $500. There was
also long original letter, signed by
Don Diego Columbus, and addressed
to Charles v, not dated, but evidently
written in 1919; another letter to
Charles v, from fernando Cortes,
with signature, and very interesting a
letter of Sir Francis Drake to the Earl
OF Essex: letter of Diego
de Almagro to Charles Y.
dated in Peru, January 1886; the
original autograph MS. OF Burns Ode
on the American War; and long and
beautiful autograph letter of President
Washington to the Rev. NJ. Bouchen,
OF Annapolis, respecting the education
OF his step-sOn. This last brought

counsel filed motion for = hearing with
view to the dissolution of the temporary in
junction, granted by Judge Virgin, with the
Cumberland County Clerk of the Courts,
Friday. 1t is thought that the hearing will
take place a week from to-day. The points
made are that the recent sitting of Court Of
Equity had no jurisdiction in the premises !;
that the complainants (Boston & Maine Rail.
rosd) had no right to relief in the Court -
alleged in their bill; that the compliments
train did not arrive as alleged; that the place
of exchange proposed by the Boston { Maine
Railroad is not suitable; that the place pro-
posed by the complainants for transfer de-
pot is within the city of Portland, only .
short distance from the termini and depots
already established of all the roads inter-
ested that the respondents have designated
suitable and convenient places for the trans
! fer of both freight and passengers; that be-
fore the filing of the bill in this case, the re-
spondents (the Maine Central Railroad) upon
application of the complainants, appointed
committee to meet a committee Of the COM
plainants to agree upon suitable plsce for
transfer of passengers and freight, and the
Boston & Maine Railroad refuaed to agree
upon any place but the point Of crossinsyand
its vicinity, which place was regarded -
wholly unsuitable by the Maine Central Rail-
road and the latter proposed other places
which were rejected, and the parties thus
failing to agree the Railroad Commissioners
are the tribunal designated by law to deter

already offered and are ready to give all IA
cilities for obtaining speedy decision Of the
tribunal having jurisdiction in the premises.
