STOLE HIS OWN COW.

At a meeting Of the Vermont asso-
citation of Chicago the other night,
Prof A. ID. Hagar, formerly State ge-
ologist of Vermont, said Il will re-
late, in closing this five minutes talk,
an incident that occurred inmy native
town, Chester, as related to me by my
good old mother, then over so, also
a native of the town. Among the
dozen men who formed the first settle
ment of the town in I764, then called
Hamstead, was a man by the name of
Idle. He was not a favorite with the
people for the reason he was suspect
ed of dishonesty. In the fall of 1865,
he submitted a proposition to his
neighbor, Charles Mann, that they go
down to Rockingham, town that had
been settled about dozen years, and
steal cow from some of the settlers,
drive or lead it up to Chester, butcher
it, and divide the carcass and each
take home his half for his winter sup
ply of beef. Mr.. Mann assented to
the proposition, and night was APP
pointed in which they would do the
work, Mr.. Idle owned acow-a black
COW with a large white spot upon the
head and a white leg. This, like 9th
err COWS in the settlement, was suffered
to run at large in the woods, and wore
large cow-bell. After dark the two
men started ON foot for a place in
Rockingham designated by lde as
likely to furnish the coveted COW. Ar
irving near the spot they heard the
sound of cow-bells, and, going in that
direction, found a COW without bell,
Ga red COW, as Mr.. Mann said, for red
cows always look black in the night, }
caught and led her, to Chester (and a
splendid COW she was to lead, butch
cred her, buried the hide and offal, di-
vided the meat, and each went to his
home with his moiety of stolen beef.
Mann did not eat any Of his, but kept
it, and ultimately gave it all to Idle.
1t was not likely, he thought, that his
COW would lose off her bell, get her
white spot obliterated by rubbing
against logs in the burnt piece and
wander off six miles to another settle
ment. He believed that his neighbors
had conspired to make him steal his
own COW, and wisely concluded that
Chester was a good place to emigrate
from, and therefore emigrated early"

an experiment is made, the result OF

to show that the true conditions fol-

to infer, that farmers who have been

"'There is an objection to the COM

dozen eggs, and cover and set them
away from the stove for fifteen min.

the eggs evenly and to jelly-like con-

One would hardly think that the fra

but it seems that an Italian chemist has
just found out that they may be put to

They yield, it appears, a very fine blue
color, and this is so sensitive to exteri-
or influences as to render it of consid.

We would say TO every man VINO Is
proposing IN his own mind to raise
certain number of colts, put yourself
in the way of learning something OF
the business upon which you are to
enter. TO your own observation add
the observation of other men. Re
enforce your own knowledge with the
wisdom of those who have grown gray
in the business. Above all, become
a student of the horse. Obtain such
books as you need to inform your
mind of the history, habits, and pecu-
liarities of the animal YOU admire.
Make yourself acquainted also with
their shape, size, popularity of going,
character of their temperament, and
the ancestry from which they spring.
Study pedigrees, that you may know
hv the union of what bloods, and the
intermarriage of what families, great
results have been obtained. Study
the horse, not only with the eye, but
with the hand and finger. Make your
self familiar with every joint and bone
and tendon. Know the place ofevery
bone, muscle, and member of his
frame. No one ever knows horse by
merely looking at him; he must look
through him as well. Learn to dis
tinguish the weak points of a horse
at sight as an artist distinguishes a
mere daub from finished picture at a
glance.
If YOU intend to make breeding q
business, it is good plan to engage
yourself to some practical breeder,
and remain with him until you have
mastered the minutia of the business,
and become familiar with the hundred
and one points of interest that can be
learned only by actual service ON a
brood-farm. While we demand no
more than is admitted to be the con-
dition of success in other branches of
business, we do lay it down as law
which executes its own penalty when
transgressed, that he who breeds a
horse while ignorant of the correct
principles of breeding will breed a
failure. If he ever makes a success, it
will be based on no broader and surer
foundation than mere luck.
The second point, in the way of
suggestion, that we make, is this /:
Whoever wishes to raise a fine colt
must be willing to put himself to a
certain amount of trouble and ev-
pense. There is an old saying, ''that
the gods never drop nuts already crak-
ed into mems mouths !" and it is the
law which runs through the world,
and puts its equal pressure upon all,
that the efforts put forth shall exactly
gauge the degree of success.

PLANTING FOR PosTERlTY.

"There," said a gentleman to us
one day, pointing to group of ever
green's and other trees, ''my brother
is about to build him a house; those
trees were planted for him by my IA
ther upward Of twenty years ago"
How fortunate this man to have such a
father. Here he builds his house
among these fine trees, and enters at
once upon their enjoyment. He gains
twenty-five years of time, and not on
ly that, the plantation has a ten-fold
value in its history and associations
1t is family monument. A beauti-
full example this for fathers. Such an

upon it-"You are mine !" This was

AGRICULTURE A SCIENCE AND
AN ART.

Agriculture is both ascience and an
art. The laws that govern the growth
of plants embrace the science of agri-
culture. The putting in practice the
truths discovered by science involves
the art. 1t is an error to suppose that
the science and art of culture can be
at variance, for the scientific part is
the result of practical observation.
THEORY AND PRACTICE.
Theory is the result of philosophi-
cal investigation founded upon correct
observation. 1t cannot, therefore, in
its true sense, be at variance with
