In q well.considered article upon the
state of Europe, the Journal Of Commerce
says that though it is impossible to pre-
dict what an hour may bring forth, and
though single spark may kindle all the
ieslousies and rivslries which now ap.
pear to be suppressed, the signs unmis.
takably point to peace for the present.
The announcement that turloughs are
being freely granted in Germany tells
the opinion Of the greatest of coHtinen
tai powers that there is no immediate
danger of a general rupture. While The
mild, amisble and unambitious Gar
rules and England shows her p.ucky
purpose to resist the spoliatioR of Tur-
key, and is sustained in this by other
western powers, the general European
war, though it may often threaten, is
more likely to be talked about than
fought.

Horse.stahIe Floors.

notice liz late issue brief article under
the above heading. My well-protracted expe-
rience as a rural architect has convinced me
that you are correct in condemniug "clay
floors" for horses. They are cold, filthy, un-
comfortable and unwhoesome; in short, clay
is the worst material for stable-foors that I
have tested. have given the subject much
thought and have experimental with great
variety of materials and forms of construc-
ton for floors.
Some years since hit upon the plan of
making the floors level Store and aft" but
gave them a slope from each side to the GEN.
ter of one inch to two feet six inches, the
half of the width of stall that prefer to one
of greater or lesser width. l lay the lenghth-
way of the plank across the stall and cut
them in the center, and in laying them
leave an opening between the ends of the
plank in the center of the stall of a scant
quarter of inch, thus forming a slot in the
valley in the floor through which the urine
drains into metal gutter under the floor,
which conducts it to the manure-pit, instead
Of absorbing it by bedding, and thus retaining
wet, fetid bed for the animals. Instead of
the urine running from the place ON which
it falls, five or-six feet to the gutter on the
surface Of the floor, in the rear of the horses,
it has but few inches to flow in any case,
whence it escapes through the floor and
thence out of the stable entirely.
/ have found that horses may be kept dry
and comfortable on the floor arranged as I
have described, and many of my patrons are
dispensing entirely with bedding of all sorts.
They say the horses are more comfortable
without bedding than with. have had hun
dreds of this style of stall,foor in use for
years, and have yet to hear the first COM
plant of them. There would have been
thousands but for the fact that they are pat
ented.
The cleanliness of this arrangement of floor
over any other is sufficient reason why it
should be adopted, without any other, of
which there are many. An important one is,
that the floor, with the slope from each side
to the center, admits of the animal lying as
he always does when free in the pasture to
select his favorite lying attitude, i. e., with
his back up the grade. Another which 1
prize highly is that the floor is dry, especially
if no bedding is used, which prevents the
evaporation of moisture from the floor. A
large majority of horses have the habit of
paving the bedding back and lying on the
bare floor. Bedding is generally used until
the material is well charged with moisture
and filth, and the animal heat of the pros
trate body is very active in freeing fetid gases
that are very injurious to the eyes and lungs
No bedding for horses for me; its use belongs
to the ''dark ages. "-J.' Wilkinson, in Ger.

Every country neighborhood has woods
which are full of ferns. and breaks, which
usually die and go to seed without doing any
good, save qualification to the sense of sight.

dried in the sun, retain their toughness and
elasticity for long time, and are said to be
superior to straw and husks, and even 10
