Origin of fhe Prairies.

DR.. Newberry, of Ohio, in an arti-
Gle in ARpletOn's journal, expresses
himself IS of the opinion that prairies
are the result of n diminished rain
fall. In reply TO this statement, DR.
Chase, of Kansas, says that, having
resided iour years in the heart of the
minimum rainfall district, lying be-
tween the Missouri River and the
Rocky Mountains, he has observed
hundreds of magnificent oaks, from
one to three feet in diameter, far from
perennial streams, but protected from
fires by rocky hill-sides; second
groves of cottonwood, O water
loving tree, which are now often
found thirty feet high, and a foot in
diameter third, groves of young
trees, often covering an area of a
hundred acres or more, and as thrifty
as any among the Catskills; fourth,
thousands OF acres covered with tall,
Iong,jomted grasses, which ten years
ago produced nothing but short, wiry,
Buffalo grass.

A DEVOTED ADHERENT.

The death is reported from Genoa
of Carlotta Benettini, the friend Of
Mszzini. She was born in 1872, be-
gan her political career in 1888,
when she was arres led on charge Of
writing and distributing revolution
sry proclamations, and OF being 8
Mszzinisn agent. While in prison
she was threatened with the rack and
with death, TO induce her to reveal
the names Of her accomplices, and
was compelled TO look on while her
associates, Billia and Gsvotti, were
being dragged to execution. 1--WE
can die but once,'' she said, and then
remained silent She was detained
a year in prison at that time. When
Genoa revolted In 1849, Charlotte,
with her young daughter, fought on
the barricades, and continued ever
since TO take part in the Republican
agitations of the day. She had en-
listed three hundred men in the cause
at the time OF the unsuccessful move
ment on the 29th Of June, and in
spite OF severe persecution from the
police, received Mazzini and Pisacone
into her house and on the occasion
Of the expedition Of La Spezzis, in
1860, concealed Mszzini and Rosolino
PHO in her own house. Again..
when, in 1870, MszzIni was confined
in the fortress of Gaeta, this devoted
adherent hastened tAither in the hope
OF obtaining permission to attend to
his comfort.

Winter Care Of Horses.

lCOT. OcLlASlllAhl
Considerable is written now days
about false economy in various ways.
Nv observation leads to the conclusion
that one important item is almost en-
tIrely overlooked, and that thousands
Of dollars are lost each year by the
careless wintering of farm horses. For
instance, farmer A owns fine span OF
horses; he is not much of horseman,
but in the summer he works them, and
keeps a man who takes good. care of
them. In the fall, after work is over,
the horses are put into the stable and
fed all the hay they will eat (be it good
or bad); are left perhaps week or
two at a time, with little or no exer-
else, and, when they are driven, arc,
let 90 at the top of their speed Fast
driving, with stomachs full of undI-
gested hay, is the very worst of treat
ment. The result is that, in a year or
two, the horses have the heaves badly
are spoiled for market, and are unable
to do the usual amount OF service
on the road and this alone causes a
loss each year so long as the team is
used.
This could in some degree be avoid
ed by building shed with yard for
exercise, and by feeding food Of suf-
ficient strength to keep the muscles in
full strength. Some say that winter
ing horses in the field on hay alone
will cause a falling away of muscles
and strength difficult to regain. No
doubt, being chilled by standing in a
cold barn is injurious to horses.

Fat-RHmped Sheep.

Mr.. i. a. MurTiil, in an essay read
before the American Institute Far
mers' Club, gave the following histor
'cal particulars relating to fat-rumped
sheep, etc /:
From the earliest times OF which
we had any authentic accounts. the
fat-rumped sheep has inhabited tie
countries over which patriarchal shop
herds roam. 1t is but little known In
Africa, but abounds exten=iyely in the
Northern and Southern parts OF Asia,
is found in Palestine in greater mum
'bers than any other breed, and reaches
far into the interior and Northern parts
Of Russia. 1t is purest in the desert
of Great Tartary, no other being near
70 contaminate its blood.
DIR. Andersen, the traveller, gives
the following account ofthis singularly
formed breed: "The fiocks of the
Tartar hordes resemble one another
by having large yellow muzzle, the
under jaw often projecting beyond
the upper, long hanging ears, the horns
of the adult rams being large, spiral,
wrinkled, angular or bent in a lunar
form. They have slender legs in pre-
portion to their bodies, high chest
and tolerably fine wool mixed with
hair. The body of the RAM ;-and some
times of the eve, swells gradually
with fat toward the posteriOrs, where
a solid mass of fat is formed on the
rump and falls over the anus in place
of the tail, divided into two heml5
pheres, which takes the form Of the
hips, with button of a tail in the
middle to be felt with the finger.'
This breed often weigh 200 pounds,
and are the largest of the uuimprovet
sheep, Of which weight the soft, oily |
fat alone that forms only the rump
amounts to from twenty to forty
pounds. In the neighborhood of the
Caucasus and Taurida, the hind quar-
.ers of the sheep are salted as hams
md sent in great quantities to the
Northern provences of Turkey. In
,arts of Russia the fat rumped sheep
,ears a somewhat fine fleece, but, gen
rally speaking, it is coarse and Is
dapted only for the purposes of in
erior manufactures.

AN exceedingly valuable and desir-
able paint for rough buildings may be
made as follows; Take two ounces
of sal ammoniac and two ounces OF
potash, dissolve these III three quarts
of water; add one quart raw llnseed
oil, then take say ten pounds dry red
paint, and add water to make 1t thin
enough to put on with a whitewash
brush. Add one gill of turpentine 10
the linseed oil. If red does not suit,
add anything to alter the color. Paint
made as above will be almost as bright
in ten or twelve years on rough build
ings as wher first put on. To make
the building fancy you paint tie cor
ner boards with white lead and oil.

Freezing OF Sap in Winter.

A remarkable paper has recently
been contributed to German maya
zine, by Prof. Mohr, showing not on
ly that the sap does not freeze IN
trees and plants which live through
hard winters, but also the reason why
it does not freeze. He says that
though it is true water, as we gener-
ally see and understand it, freezes at
thirty-two degrees, it does not do 50
when its PARTICLES are finely divided.
Tropical plants have large cells, and
these are the ones in which the sap
freezes; but in plants with very small
cells IN which the liquid particles a-e
finely divided, there is no freezing OF
tie liquids until after the structure
has received injury of some sort.
This is true, he says, of Insects and
insect pup@. They never freeze; but
cut one apart, soon after the humors
solidify, and on thawing life flies.

EXPLOSION IN A FLOUR MILL~-A
recent explosion at the Tradeston
Flour Mills in Glasgow was explained
on the theory that minute particles
floating in the atmosphere became
so mixed with oxygen as to form an
explosive gas, and this conclusion has
been corroborated by similar explosion
at the Park Brewery during the grind
ing of a quantity of malt, A small
flint was introduced into the malt be-
twaon the iron rollers of the mill, and
a spark being struck the floating dust
