An English Hot Weather Story.
Pail Mall Gazette.

Pail Mall Gazette.
A remarkable instance of the occa.
sionable intelligence displayed by in
animate objects is afforded by the case
of the fire-alarm bells of some traders
premises in Virginia street, Glasgow.
On Sunday last, these bells, mistaking
the heat of the weather for an out.
break Of fire, took to ringing with
such hearty good will that they
brought three tiremen to the spot, who,
finding no traces Of fire, returned to
the brigade station, but had hardly
composed themselves when they were
again aroused by the loud ringing of
the fire.alarm bell in another premises
in Gordon street. This time a com.
pany Of fireman hurried to the scene
Of the supposed conaagration, but
found that there was nothing the mat
ter beyond the extreme sultriness of
the weather, which had SO affected the
the bell that it could not help sound
ing an alarm.

Raising Horses.

The demand for horses in this State
for the past few years has been more
than the supply. Large numbers are
being imported into the State all of
the time. The expectation is none.
The profit of raising horses on the
farm cannot he questioned. 1t costs
but trivial sum to feed colt in the
winter, while pasturage is so cheap in
the summer, that the pocket does not
feel the expense. Farmers can Ger.
tainly obtain sufficiently remunerative
prices for the horses they rear espec-
tally when they get the right stock,
and take care of the stock in proper
manner. There never was a more
healthy country for horses; they are
seldom sick.
Many farmers regard the raising Of
colts as q minor branch of business,
much on a foot with chicken'hatch:ng,
and bee.swarming, to receive the at
tention of boys only, during odd hours,
and to cost but little first or last. The
mare must be a cheap, unstable one,
may be crippled. She must go to some
|neighbor's two-year-old gratis, and do
as much work during the year as the
|gelding at her side. The colt must
follow the dam at her daily toll. and
live on what it can get until winter,
when it is turned into the yard with
the COWS, to eat straw and
stalks until spring then turned out
to pasture to obtain the best living it
can.
In the raising of horses it should be
remembered that ''like begets Ike
It is almost certain if the parents nave
defects, the offspring will inherit

Large Farms.

Large Farms.
DR.. johnson used to say, HE who
waits to do a great deal of good at once,
will never do any, This is the kind
of mistake some farmers commit. In
their zeal to do a great business, they
run in debt for large farms, and they
are always working at a disadvantage.
With smaller capital, with industry,
and independence, they would in ten
years be much better off. It is a great
deal better to do a little in the best
manner, than a great deal super6cially
and with disorder and confusion.
With one or two exceptions we do not
know, or at least we cannot call to
mind at this time, a solitary instance
where those who embarked in farming
on large scale have succeeded, or
have become rich or even fore-handed
upon large farms, and We presume
we have about as extended an acquaint-
ance with the agricultural country
as any man in this vicinity, j =;

blindess, &c. would prove hereditary.
but the best way is to secure good
shaped, sound animals for brood mares,
and secure two good horses for sires.
It costs but little if any more to raise
a two hundred dollar three-year-old
horse than it does a tifty.dollar animal
at that age.
As long as our farmers bestow so
much attention: to producing wheat,
it cannot be expected that alivelyin.
.terest will be tleveloppeds in raising
stock. but would it not be advisable to
diversity the industries of the State
to a greater extent, and give more
heed to the raising of horses! The in:

Wire Fencing.

We learn that in many localities
where no materials suitable for max.
ing fences can be obtained, at prices
which will admit OF being purchased,
that farmers are experimenting on
wire. 1t is true wire fences have
been in use for years and years, but
on our prairies in the northwest, COM
paratively speaking, they are not, nor
never will be in general use /; nor can
we count upon wood and stone for
fences. We shall in the end be obliged
to fall back on hedges, or line fences
which are the best of all. In the
meantime, wire must for the present
be more or less used for substitute
in the place of other materials.
Iron wire is now being used for
fences, and if not too small, and thor
oughly sustained by strong posts, it
makes very good fence. The great
difficulty in the West is, that it is al
most impossible to erect wire fence
that will turn sbreachy and unruly
stock, but still a good wire fence is
better than no fence at all, though we
do not recall solitary instance where
a field is fenced by wire, but what it
has been broken into by 'mruly horses
or cattle. ~

New Wedding Machine.

The North British Agriculturist de.
scribes a new wedding machine, lately
introduced into Britain from Denmark.
1t says: The implement is an easy
draught for one horse, and is very
simple in construction, taking in about
4 feet six inches at the time. The
body Of the machine consists of re-
volving sort of drum, into which are
fastened three rows of long sharp steel
teeth, or combs, as they have been
called. The implement moves smooth.
ly on wheel at each end of this drum,
and the horse, yoked in pair of shafts
speeds along easily right in front of
the draught.
The main purpose Of the machine is
the removal of weeds, such as wild
mustard or charlock growing among
corn, and it is claimed for it that
when the ground is soft it will eradi-
cate the weeds, and in other cases cut
the heads off-in either case destroy.
ing the weeds.
We do not see how weeds can be de-
|stroyed by cutting off the heads. They
must be dug out by the roots, or else
they must sprout up again.
