existed. and has constantly grown more ur-

SMALL HoRsEs-The Southern Farmer
says: The arguments may be all in
favor of great size, but the facts are all
the other way. Large horses are more
liable to stumble and be lame than those
of the middle size. They are clumsy,
and cannot fill themselves so quick.
There is nothing more surprising to
Western men than to visit Montreal
and see small but stout Canadian horses
hauling large two-seated carriages full
of people with apparent ease. A horse
weighing 900 pounds in Maine takes
Chase or Concord wagon, with two men
in it, and makes fifty or sixty miles
day over hills that might have terrified
Hannibal. But their weight is where
ii ought to be. 1t is compact, and not
lying around loose. 1t is muscle, not
pulp, that we want in horse"

prelude to wealth. And I have made it al

IMPURE WATER.

Public attention cannot be too often
called to the danger Of using impure
water in households. The origin OF ~
phoid fever, which so frequently runs
through families in city and country, is
oftener in wells and springs than is
supposed. In cities ii is easy to under
stand, where aqueduct water is not sup
Piled, how wells may become contami-
mated; but for many it is not so easy
to see how wells i'll the country, among
the hills OF in green valleys, can become
so impure as to be sources Of disease.
Since the general introduction Of
nqueduct water into large cities, typhoid
fever has become more common in the
country than in the city; and this dis
ease is certainly zyomotic, or one which
results from a poison introduced into
the blood. Wells in the country are
very apt to become contaminated with
house sewage, as they are generally
placed for convenience, very near the
dwelling, and the waste liquids thrown
out upon the ground, find easy access,
by percolation through the soil, to the
water The instances of such contami-
nation which have come to our notice.
and which gave rise to fevers, are nu-
merous.
The gelatinous matter which is often
found covering the stones in wells af-
fected by sewage, is true fungoid
growth, and highly poisonous when in
troduced into the system. 1t is un-
douhtedly concerned in the production
of typhoid fever. How it acts it is diff
cult to determine, but it is at least con-
ceivable that the spores of the fungus
may get into into the blood and bring
about changes after the manner of yeast
in beer. These spores, it is we'll known.
develop rapidly by kind of budding
process. and but little time passes before
the whole circulation becomes filled
with them, giving rise to abnormal heat
and general arrangement, called fever.
These fungoid or confervoid growths
are always present in waters rendered
impure by house drainage, and great
caution should be used in maintaining
we'll waters free from all sorts of polu,
