CAUCASIAN HORSES.

A writer in the Pail Mall Gazette says :
There are four great breeds of Horses in
Russia-the steppe horse, the mountain
horse of Caucasia, the forest horse Of the
North, and the draft horse, known as the
Ri jug. Foremost among the steppe horses
is that of the Don, descended. from an old
Tartar race, which has been improved by
crossing with Arab, Persian, Tscherkess,
and Turkish breeds. They surpass all the
other Russian horses in lightness and fleet
ness. Their pre-eminent characteristics are
keen sight. a swift, untiring pace, combined
with the power of living on scanty fare.
The best of them are either taken for troop
horses or sold into the interior. AS they
live out all the year round on the steppe,
they are accustomed to changes of climate,
and are consequently extremely suitable for
field service. The Calmuck horse, belong
ing to the steppes in the government of As
trakan, and of Il Mopgolian or Tartar breed,
is small and ugly useless tor draft horses,
but alike hardy and spirited. A ready sale
has always Geen found i'll Kliva, as well as
Russia, for these horses, which used former
~ to be largely in request for mounting
light cavalry troops. The Kirghese and

STOCK RAISING e.
AGE OF A HORSE..

The colt is born with twelve grinders.
When four front teeth have made their ap-
nearapcc the colt is twelve days old, and
when the next four come forth it is four
weeks old. When the corner teeth appear
he colt is eight months old, when the latter
have attained the height of the front teeth
it is one year old. The two-year-old colt has
the kernel (the dark substance in the middle
Of the tootl's CROWN ground out of all It's
front teeth. The next four teeth are shifted
In the fourth year, and the corner teeth III
the fifth. At six years the kernel is worn
out of the lower middle front teeth, and the
bride teeth have now attained to their full
growth. At seven years a hook has bcln
formed in the corner teeth of the upper jaw,
the kernel of the teeth next at the middle
fronts Is worn out, and the bride teeth are
beginning to wear off. AT eight years of
age the kernel is worn out of all the lower
front teeth, and begins to decrease in the
middle upper fronts. In the ninth year the
kernel has wholly disappeared from the up
per middle front teeth. the hook on the cor
ner teeth has increased in size, and the bri-
die teeth lose their points. In the tenth
year the kernel is worn out Of the teeth next
to the middle front of the upper jaw in the
eleventh year the kernel has entirely van
ished from the corner teeth of the same jaw.
At twelve years old the crowns OF all the
front teeth in the lower jaw have become
triangular, and the bride teeth are much
worn down. AS the horse advances in age,
the gums shrink away from the teeth, which
consequently receive a long narrow appear
ance, and their kernels have become
metamorphosed into a darkish point, gray
hairs increase in the forehead, over the eyes
and the chin resumes the form of an angle

Rashkir horse is small and ugly, like the
Calmuck. to which he is related. 1t Is more
muscular. however, and larger boned, Is
never fed in stable, and is able to bear both
bunoor and thirst with great endurance.
Among this breed of horses excellent hofses
are frequently found, and command nigh
nrices. The Karabajhsk is the most cello
hrated of the Caucasian horses, and IS great
" esteemed throughout the whole OF K''s-
STA. The breed, produced very many years
400 from Truchmenisch and Arab stations
is distinguished by extraordinary lnstlncF'
thickness of hearing, and a remarkable
power of maintaining its equilibrium, which
latter quality renders it of inestimable value
in mountainous districts. The most gener-
a]ly difFused breed in Caucasia is the IA
hardinisch, or Tscherkess, which has sprung
from crossing different mountain races with
Arab horses. 1t is large, strong, spirited
cautious and sure-footed, recognizes places
readily. and stands the vicissitudes OF both
heat and cold with equal Indifference. The
largest and most powerful of these horses
are found in Great Kabarda, and are used
for mounting the Caucasian division OF
dragons.

WESTERN Daley INTEREST.

There is no department Of our agricul-
tural interests SO far behind, as the dairy i'll
terest in the West. We are a progressive
people in most things, but III this we are far
behind our Eastern neiehbors. The factory
system Is coming to- our rescue, but we are
still unblessed with good butter in most
parts OF the West, where there are no tac-
tories, and yet good butter is one Of the most
profitable products of the farm, if it is only
marketed right. Often good butter is spoiled
III the grocery store, standing open near the
coal oil, fish, vegetables, etc., where it alb
serbs all such tlavors. Most dealers pay so
much for butter, good or bad, and put it all
together.
Now, it farmers who make really good
butter, would market it in their own pack
ages, air tight, with their name OH each
package, they could soon make their own
market, and thus build up 4 demand for
their butter at . price corresponding to its
worth. Such packages could be made of tin
OF different sizes, and to be returned, when
emptied, or tin buckets will answer if prop
,erly labeled.
with the increasing interest in the dairy
stock in the West, we hope for Improvement
~ our dairy interests, both in butter and
cheese, the Importance of which is not yet
nlily appreciated in the West.-Westean Ag-
Tacattualst.

THE PREC0CITY OF THE JERSEYS AS
BREEDEES.
BREEDERS.

Samuel johnson, of Dowagiac, Cass coun-
ty, Mich, writes i'll the Michigan Farmer, as
follows:
/ have a Jersey heifer, dropped April 8.
1873, who gave us her first calf June 5, 1874,
or when a little less than fourteen months
old her second calf March 10, 1875, and
was bred the third time May Il, all in a lit
tie less than twenty-five months. And yet
with all this strain there are few two-ycar-
olds that will excel her as q butter-produc-
Ing COW. make this statement knowing
whereof / affirm, us the leifer has been mine
since her birth.
The above suggests an interesting query
whether this precocious breeding has, not
improved the natural capacity of this cow
for milk and butter? Certainly a heifer
which dropped her first calf when less than
fourteen months old never had much chance
to acquire a tendency towards fat. Her
milk glands must have began to enlarge al
most before she ceased to be Il calf, and an
uninterrupted period Of milking for more
than a year must have given them as much
size as the animal was capable of acquiring.
Such rapid breeding must injure the size of
the COW, and unless accompanied with extra
good feeding may have seriously damaged
her for life.
1t is probably well to let a heifer Intended
for the dairy have her first calf us early us
possible then feed her literally with nutri-
tious and especially with succlllent food to
increase the flow of milk. But do not breed
again in a hurry. Feed the he;fer so as to
continue the flow of milk as long rs posi-
bic, and ii she shows Il tendency to fatten.
give her more succulcnt and milk-producing
food. In this way the health Of the COW will
be maintained, and she will attain larger
size without affecting her capacity as il
breeder. 10 rapid breeding must be mia
rious to the constitution OF Il very young
row., which needs much nutriment to en-
large and harden its own frame rather thar
form u new one.
The people of the Channel Islands hay,

A PROBLEM SOLVED.
dragons.

The managers of the Centennial Exhihi-
ton inform us that the troublesome problem
ofhow to provide adequately for livestock
at the international Exhibition has been
happily solved. 1t was manifest that these
could not be accommodated in the vicinity
of the Agricultural building, or sven in the
Park, for several reasons. In this emergency
the Board Of Finance have been fortunate in
leasing from the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company their stock yards, about twenty
two acres in extent, which are now used as
drove yards by that company, but from
which they intend to remove in December.
They are situated on the south side OF their
main line Of tracks, between Belmont ave-
nue. and Forty-first street, within a few
hundred feet of the principal entrance to
the Exhibition grounds. This ground is
passed by street railways, as well as by the
Pennsylvania railroad, which will erect a
depot upon it for passenger accommodation,
and has already sidlngs and platforms With
in the enclosure for the unloading of ami
mails, so that these can be brought by rail
from any point without transhipment. The
existing shedding will be cleared away and
the whole surface handsomely renovated
and supplied with stalls of a convenience
and neatness unusual ut livestock exhibit
lions. Water is now distributed through
out the entire tract by service pipes, twenty
five feet apart though drainage can be Sc
cured through the adjacent city sewers.
Much of the surface is paved, and large
numbers of ~neighboring sheds and barns
provide sufficiently for storage of hay, grain,
ETC.. and hotels hard BY will accommodate
exhibitors and their agents. When it is
added that the area Of the land is such as to
admit he construction of a halfmile track
for the exercise of the animals and their eX-
animation by the judges, it will be seen that
the managers of the Exhibition nave pro-
vided the means of giving due prominence
to this very important department of the
