Breeding Fine Stock.

To BE successful in breeding fine
stock of any kind the individual must
have an accurate knowledge of what
constitutes value in breed, and in GER
tain families of breed. They must be
well up in form, size and muscular de-
velopment, aptitude to fatten or pro-
duce milk, as the case may be, or for
what the animals are wanted. Pedi-
gree and its relative bearing from gen
Grafton to generation must be taken in
to account. The probable results of
adding one particular strain of blood
upon another must be studied. These
are only few of the requisites to make
a really successful breeder. 1t cannot
be learned in one, two or five years, but
this knowledge must be a growing one,
and evolved from changes, and new
light which is being constantly brought
out must be as constantly absorbed.
For these reasons it will be seen why
the individual having more capital may
not, as matter of course, succeed any
more than in general agriculture or
other business requiring exact art until
he understands his profession. The
rearing of fine cattle is high art, Just as
high farming is. In other words, the
prosecutor must learn the trade.
How to do this is the question. If
the individual has a talent for the pro-
fessiOn it is not difficult. 1t is to be OBJ
tanned by reading those journals which,
discarding mere theory, present the
practical. Commence with few indi-
viduals, and get these from reputable
breeders. Decide upon the line of
breeding you intend to pursue and stick
to it. This, with the reading you will
get from week toweek and from month
to month with the cultivation of ordi-
nary sagacity, should enable any one in
time to become an eXpert.-Prairje
Farmer.

RingbOne.

A veterinary surgeon says: "Give
your horse absolute rest from all work
or driving and apply mild blister to
the parts affected, composed of one
part biniodide of mercury and eight
parts of lard. Mix these mate
rails together. Cut the hair off short
over the eXostosis, or bony growth,
then before applying the blister apply to
the parts to be blistered only pure cider
vinegar in as hot state as it can be
borne by the hand, using a sponge and
hand-rub well in the parts. This care
fully but thoroughly done, apply the
blister and hand-rub this well into the
surface of the skin. Turn your horse
out during the middle of the day pleas
ant weather 1t will probably take
three months and perhaps longer to
m axe cure, and the animal must, as
above stated, have absolute rest dur
ing this time. 1t may be found nee
essary to apply the blister twice or
perhaps three times before Il cure is
accomplished. This treatment will be
found adapted TO the attack, and as
effective as any you can apply.

Good Advice TO Graduates.

The young men now leaving college
who think that it would be beneath
their dignity to engage in mechanical
pursuits, and that the education which
they have received is only intended to
fit them for some one of the learned
professions, ought to study the bacca-
laureate discourse delivered by DR.. Pea
body on Sunday last, before the gradu-
ates of Harvard.
"We need" said he, liable and edu-
Gated men in agriculture and manufac-
ture, and there is not department UNI
der those titles that may not be elevat-
ed, not alone in name, but in its per-
manent value as factor in its well-be-
ing by such recruits as our college
might furnish"
Students fresh from the university
are too apt to forget that there is some
thing practical in life to which their
education is only an introduction, and
that if it helps them in law, in medi-
cine aud in theology, it will also be an
aid to them in those other pursuits
which are equally associated with ma
tional progress and prosperity. A few
matter-of-fact sermons like DIR. Peabody
delivered, just at the time when young
mems minds and feelings are the most
receptive might lead them to indulge
less in thoughts of being carried through
life on beds of flowery ease, and more
of following avocations which will in
the end yield not only pleasure, but

The Swedish Turnip for Chickens.

This is a very valuable and succulent
vegetable for use as partial supply of
the green food that poultry requires
to keep them constantly in good thrift.
This may be chopped up fine and given
them raw, two or three times week,
when other green stuff is not so readily
to be had. Ordinarily, when young
fowl stock enjoys range of field and
pasture during June, July and August,
they take care of themselves without
this. But when they are confined and
cannot range upon their own account,
the turnips come into use to profit.
They will eat this vegetable with gusto,

What do the children read? They
will read something. If left to them
selves most of them will read trash or
such sensational works as but weaken
and demoralize their minds. The
world, in these times, is full of books of
this kind. They are everywhere lying
in reach of the young. One of them is
often enough to shape for evil the des-
tiny of a life. So good book may
have equal effect for good. Anew cur
rent of thought, new views of life, new
throbs of heart for what is pure and
noble, and change of the entire cur
rent of life may result from the reading
of a single book. In view of this there
is nothing about which parents should
have more anxiety than the food with
which they feed the minds of their chill
dren. United Presbyterian.
According to Prof. McKendrie, of
the University of Glasgow, thin and
slightly elastic membrane for phono-
graph is the most suitable for loudness,
while a rigid, non-elastic one is the best
for distinctness. His experiments with
one of Marey's tambours and the tele-
phone are interesting. After impress
sions have been made on the tin-foil,
distinct speech in feeble voice of most
peculiar quality can be heard from the
tambour by bringing the point of the
lever on the surface of the photographic
cylinder. With this method there is
little friction, and the marks are not
quickly rubbed out. If the tambour
and the ear are connected with tube,
ineligible sounds can be heard after
the marks on the tin-foil are erased so
as to be hardly perceptible to the eye.
