Important Points in Draft Horses.

we start out with the proposition
which we have before discussed, that
great size is not necessarily q point in
favor of a draft horse, and is often an
objection. Next we state that a draft
horse is not to be judged by his ability
to trot fast. Fine action, in the sense
in which the words are applied to road
sters, is not to be expected of horses
designed for heavy work. Again, an
unusual disposition to lay on flesh. or
fat, however desirable in an animnl de.
signed for food, is not especially To bel
commended in an animal designed for
labor.
Especially for use in America, sound
ness is a very important point in any
horse, and as much SO among draft
horses as among those for other pur-
poses.e There should beno predisposition
to disease of any kind. There should be
such a constitution that reasonable exer-
tion to which a working horseis subject
shall not produos sickness nor unsound
ness of any kind. Perhaps the point in
which there is the greatest lack among
most draft horses is tho feet. Among
the first things at which we should look
If about purchasing q draft stallion,
would be his feet. It is to be hoped
that importers and breeders of draft
horses may pay especial attention to this
matter.
Good eyes are another essential. II
is n not uncommon fault with many
draft horses, that their eyes are small,
dnll, sunken, or vicious looking. Good
temper is especially to be desired. A
dull, stolid brute, without any manifes-
tation Of energy or spirit is to be avoid
cd OF the one hand, as is d ba1-temper.
ed, vicious brute on the other hand.
Among the faults of lesser oonse-
quence. but one we think worthy of mo-
tice, and one we think in which a breed
OF horses with very many e~xcellenoies,
the Clydesdale, could be improved. is
in having long hair on the legs. We
see no good in this hair it certainly
adds nothing to the beauty Of the AMI.
NAL, and il holds mud, wet snow, ice,
etc. to an unpleasant amount. If this
trait were bred ont we think a gain
would be made Western RuraI.

Shakespeare and the Sea.

SWinbUrne opens his papers, entitled
"The Three Stages of Shakespeare,
with the subioined fine passage
The first of living poets had drawn q
parallel of elaborate eloquence between
Shakespeare and the sea and the like,
ness holds good in many points of less
significance than those which have been
set down by the master. hand. For two
hundred years at least have studentssv
every kind put forth in every sort of
boat on o longer or shorter voyage of
research across the waters of that I'M
sounded sea. From the paltryest fish
ing-Graft to such majestic Ralleys as
were steered by Coleridge and by
Goethe, each division of the feet has
done or has essayed its turn of work !;
come busted in dredging along shore,
some taking surveys of this or that gulf
or %headland, some putting forth through
shine and shadow into the darkness Of
the great deep. Nor does it seem as if
there would sooner be an. end to mems
labor on this than on the other sea.
But here q difference is perceptibIe.
The material ocean has been so far mas
tered by the wisdom and the heroism of
mar that we may look for q time to come
when the mystery shall be manifest of
its farthest north and south, and men
resolve the secret of the uttermost parts
of the sea the poles, also, may find
their Columbus. But the limits of that
other ocean, the laws of it's tides, the
motive of its for0es, the mystery of its
unity, and the secret Of it's change, no sea-
farer of us all may ever think thoroughly
to know. No wind gauge will help us
to the science of its storms, no Headline
sound for us the depth of its divine and
terrible serenity.

night Mr.. Bowles was there he not only
did not see an intoxicated person any
where in the streets, at the hotels, on
the race grounds, at John Morrissey's
pool rooms, but not wen a mar under
the apparent influence Of liquor: Nor,
while weak women and silly girls and
vulgar dressing do abound to a degree
most discouraging for the future of
American society, is there apparent in
any quarter the slightest ]wantonness OF
behavior on the part of either SEX. He
doesn't forget that John Morrissey is o
sort of patron saint in this yicinage ;
but if his club house was the home of
the Young Mems Christian Association
it could not be more dooorons outwardly,
nor more serene and silent within; while
the race grounds, which are under his
supervision, are the perfection Of good
order and discipline and good admins

A Partisan Romano,

The following incident I'll the life Of
Mad4me MacAfahon is related In the
miduIe of the winter of 1888 a fire broke
out in the female seminary ct Limoges,
France, and spread with such rapidity
that it was feared all the inmates would
perish. Suddenly there was a cry that
one little girl had been left in her room.
As the excited spectators were beginning
70 pray for the unfortunate child, a tall
girl, with disheyeled blonde hair and
flowing night-gown, cut through the
crowd, and, with q shrek of "In save

dashed into the doorway. 4 loud hur
rah that was prolonged 30 the echo only
TO be repeated again attracted the at-
tention of the devotees, and the pale
faced girl was seen skipping through
the flames with the terrified child. A
few days thereafter King Louis Philippe
sent the heroine a gold medal for her
bravery, and a captain OF the French
army, who had Witnessed the girls

prepared to take vengeance on his guilty
uncle. King Fenge suspected the sinis-

to England for the purpose of having
him assassinated. Hamlet, however,
succeeded in gaining the friendship of
the English king, and returned the fol-

slew, with his own hand, the assassin of
his father, was proclaimed king, and fell
some time afterwards in a battle against
King Vigilet, who was offended because
Hamlet had assumed the style of
royalty.

When to cut Hungarian Grass.

Cat the grass as soon as it is fairly
out of blossom, certainly before the
seed forms to any considerable degree.
Hungarian hay, when ripe or nearly
SO, is popularity supposed to be injurious
to horses. We believe there are good
grounds for SO believing. If cut at the
time we have designated you need have
no fear in feeding it, and il properly
cured you will find il superior to
timothy hay in its nutritious qualities.
Hungarian grass when heavy, say
three or more tons per acre, is difficult
to cur without turning. IF you have a
hay tedder you will have no difficulty in
curing in two to four days. The usual
way is to let it lie until dry enough for
raking and then get ID up in the usual
way. This, however, bleaches the
leaves-the most valuable part-more
or less and detracts seriously from the
value of the hay. If you cut the grass
down in the morning turn this in the
swath just before night. What you
cut in the latter part of the day may be
turned next day, SO the green part will
take the dew. Then it may be raked at
the proper time according to the ap.
p~earanee of the weather. If too green
to be hauled put ii into compact cocks
to sweat and turn rain, and il will come
out all right.
Hungarian we think does not bear
stacking quite so green as clean timothy,
since ii becomes more compact in the
stack or NOV. But we have had it
show a strong heat after being put in
the NOV and had it come out ali righs.
Indeed, English farmers do not MINI
their hay heats to a very consider
extent in the now Western FaT85
journal.
