Color in Animals.

The variety of coloring in animal life
is one of the marvels of nature, only now
beginning to be studied scientifically. 1t
is vain to say that an animal is beautiful,
either in symmetry or diversity of color,
in order toplease the human eye. Fishes
in the depth of the Indian seas, where no
human eye can see them, possess the
most gorgeous tints. One thing is re-
markable; birds, fishes and insects alone
possess the metallic coloring; while
plants and Zoophytes are without reflect
ing shades. The mollusca take middle
path with their hue of mother-of- pearl.
What is the reason of these arrangements
in the animal kingdom? 1t is question
which cannot be satisfactorily answered; ;
but some observations have been made
which throw light on the subject. One
is, that among animals the part of the
body turned toward the earth is always
paler than that which is uppermost. The
action OF light is here apparent Fishes
which live on the side, as the sole and
turbot, have the left side, which answers
to the back, Of dark tint; while the
other side is white. 1t may be noticed
that birds which fly, as it were, bathed
in light, do not offer the strong contrast
of tone between the upper and lower
side Beetles, wasps and flies have the
metallic coloring of blue and green, pos
sess rings equally dark all round the
body; and the wings of many butterflies
are rs beautifully feathered below as
above.-From PoWlar Science Xonthly

Glover Hay for Horses.

MANY farmers are strenuously opposed
to red clover of any kind as feed for
horses, as they contend the poisonous dust
which rises from the dead stalks and dry
leaves frequently causes the heaves For
many years we have kept horses almost
exclusively on clover hay through our
long winters, and if the clover was cut
when about one-half the blossoms had
turned brown, and the hay mostly cured
in the cock in good weather, SO as to re-
tain most of its leaves and heads and
green appearance, we have never known
it to produce either cough or heaves.
We know of no reason Why it should
produce a cough in horses any more than
red top or herds'grass. Glover when cut
early for hay, as it generally should be,
from its succulence, if not well dried be-
fore being carried to the barn in large
quantities, is very liable to heat in the
NOW or ON the scaifold; this process
produces some injurious chemical
changes in the hay. The starch, sugar,
gum, etc. first assume the vinous fer
mentation, producing a saccharine quail
ity in the hay. If the change here be
arrested no bad results would follow, the
nutritive and healthy quality Of the hay
would not be lesscned-but generally
the vinous runs into the acetous fer
mentation-this is followed by sourness,

It's Mighty lnprovin'.

The Irish peasantry have tales of a
parabolic character-stories which, by
means of some striking action or cir
cumstance, set forth a hearty moral. On
hearing such their usual phrase is, "Oh
it is mighty improvin'." And that, too
is what Molly Malone, worthy washer
woman, used to say-and say almost in
variably7-after hearing sermon on
Sunday. One day, however, her clergy
man, who was not quite content with
this generality, spoke to her respecting
his discourse, and Molly suddenly be-
came what they call in Ireland little
bothered. Nevertheless, she got out of
her difficulty with one of her parabolic an
swers which are such favorites with her
class and which, while it completely
evaded the question, satisfactorily re-
piled to it.
Rev.--Well, Molly, you liked the SER
mon you say
Mol.-Oh, yes, your riverence-it was
mighty improvin'.
Rcv.-And what part of it did you
like best?
Mol-Well, sure, sir, | liked every
part.
Rev,-But suppose there were some
portions of it that you were more struck
with than you were with othersg
Mol-ln throth, phase your reverence,
| don't remember any part exactly, but
altogether twas mighty improvin'.
Rev-Now, Molly, how could it be
improving if you don't remember any
part of itg
Mol.-Well, your reverence sees that
linen I've been washing and dhrying on
the hedge there?
Rev.-Oh, certainly.
Mol.-Wasnt it the soap and wather
made the linen clane, sirg
Rev.-Of course they did
Mol-And isn't the linen all the better
for it?
Rev.-Oh, no doubt of that, Molly.
Mol.-But not dhrop of soap and
water stays in it, Well, sir, its the same
thing wild me. Not word o. the sar-
mint stays in mel suppose it all dtries
out o me--but I'm the better and the
claner for it, when it's over, for all that

Fowls In the Horse Stable.

Fowls should never be permitted to
have access to the horse stable, nor the
feed-room, nor the hay-mow Their
rooms should be entirely separate from
the stable, so that they may not always
be ready to slip in whenever door is
opened; and that the vermin which in
fest poultry may not reach horses and
cattle.
1t is fact that fowls of all kinds when
allowed to go on the hay-mow, or in the
feedingroom or anywhere in the barn,
damage more fodder than we are wont to
suppose. We would as soon allow fowl
to live in the kitchen and to hop on the
dinner table while we are eating, and to
roost on our bedstead, as to allow them
to have free access to the horse stable and
barn.
Some horses are always afraid of fowls
and when one enters the mangcr or rack
the timid horses will Immediately sur
render their entire right, however hungry
they may be, to these lawless marauders.
And after they have scratched over the
feed with their foul feet horse must be
exceedingly hungry before he will eat his
mess. Many hungry horse has been
deprived of his feeding of grain by lot
of bold, gallinaceous robbers that had
learned when and where to fill their
empty crops with the feed of faded
horse Let CRATES and bars exclude
fowls and pigeons from the doors and
windows of all horse stables N. Y.
