ON BREEDING HORSES.

An old breeder of Tennessee, George
T. Altman, in the RURAL SUN, gives his
ideas of improving stock. He says:
~ beg and urge each and all to patron
ize only pure-bred males and never
mongrel. Blood will tell in every
thing, from chicken to man. If
you propose to breed trotters, or mules,
YOU want a dash of blood to give the
produce the staying qualities desirable
on the farm or on the turf.
1 prefer early foals, especially if thor
oughbred A few weeks difference tells
on the race course or in the fair ring.
They 60 through the first Winter much
better than late ones.
Fillies which have never produced,
should be bred so as to drop their foals
in the middle of April or first of May.
The trouble with all young dams is to
give milk enough for their offspring,
hence the necessity of having the pro-
duce drop when there is plenty of lux
uriant grass hold that our true pol
icy is to breed only the best-have
them we'll cared for The days of pay
or pleasure in handling inferior stock
are numbered among the things that
were. So of halffecd and poor accom-
modations for the comfort of your stock.
A few good ones, well cared for, afford
more pleasure and profit than host of
inferior ones, fed on shucks and prom
ises. find grass the cheapest feed
can grow for stock, and meadow to
pay the best of any land on my farm
A writer has observed, "by tilling
fields nation is fed by breeding horses
it is defended" The Hippic society of
France, founded in 1865, is certainly
occupied in patriotic work. AT first,
it's shows We're confined to Paris, but
since last year, branch exhibitions have
been inaugurated in the chief horse
breeding regions of France, The OBJ
ject of the society, like the government
studs, is to produce horses adapted to
each peculiar region of the country, and
combining qualities alike serviceable for
general work as well as for war. Three
classes of stations are accepted-pure
English, pure Arab or Anglo-Arab. 1t
mas Deeu lOuuu, llldG Will uolSeo, a.
with other farm stock, much depends
on the soil and climate In Normandy,
with its rich pasture lands, its calcare-
ous-clayey soil, the pure English blood
only succeeds in the south of France,
the Arab or the Anglo-Arab is best
suitable, while in the centre of the coun-
try and part of Brittany, the Norfolk
horse succeeds best. The pasture lands
of Normandy impart to the animals
blood and bone the requisite rich supply
of mineral substances. 1t is a curious
fact, that following the geological struc-
ture of the country, the largest and
most vigorous horses are to be found
where the soil is calcareous. In Nor
mandy the horses are of this type,
while in the neighboring region of
Brittany, where the soil is of granite
origin, the horses are small, but not less
remarkable, improve in size as the coast
is approached and the lands enriched
by the calcareous manures which the
sea contributes.

DANGER TO Stock FROM GYPSUM

DANGER TO STOCK FROM GYPsUM.-
A Roanoke, Va, correspondent in the
Monthly Agricultural Report says:
There is great danger in turning
stock on grass field on which plaster
has been recently sown, or until the
plaster has been taken up either by
rain or heavy dews. Two years ago
scme stock was turned upon field on
the same day on which it was plastered
and they all died in a few hours. There
were no Indications of "hoven," the
stock being in good condition, and the
sudden death was believed to be solely
the effect of the sulphate Of lime.

ADangerous JOB at the Tunnel.


The last work involving especial danger
upon the Hoosac mountain, namely, the
clearing of the central shaft, was brought
to successful issue Tuesday night. and
the forty-fye picked workmen who have
been employed upon it are coneratulating
themselves that no accident has marred its
progress. The work has been under the
charge of Il. A. BoLd, bright young fellow
of say twenty-three years, son of Austin
Bond of North Adams, who alone has
planned and conducted its reopening. The
shaft is 1850 feet deep, and, in eXcavating
1t, floors were put in once in eighteen feet;
and these floors, with their heavy support
ing timbers, have now been taken out, one
by one, from the bottom up. To enable
the miners to cut away these timbers a move
able platform, as has been already described
was constructed to I'll the shaft, being sus-
pended from the top by wire rope cable
and secured by several independent fasten-
ings, each capable of supporting the plat
form, thus rendering it doubly secure. In
place of the cage was introduced one of the
old buckets used in digging the shaft to
bring up the stone, to remove the debris
and dislodge rock. And so, carefully, a
step of eighteen feet Mt a time, have the
slippery, threacherous timbers been lifted
out, together with / ~ yards of loose stone
near the top of the shaft, some of these
last hanging pieces weighing five or six
tons, and all without any blasting. Brick
work was put in to secure soft vein of
rock near the top the platform was lifted
out Tuesday morning, and now the shaft is
one clear, deep hole, without timber or
rock that can ever fall into the tunnel,
