In California and elsewhere the useful
ness Of horns on cattle in q domestioated
state is being urged by some writers.
MIR. William CLARK, now of Denver, Col
orado, but formerly of Wayne county,
New York, bred a herd of hornless cattle
while residing in the latter locality, and
is quite enthusiastic on the subject. lie
predicts that the time will come when all
domestic cattle will be reared without
horns. His herd wa bred from horned
COWS and hornless bulls. He claims the
following merits for critters" of the
ley pattern
l. Hons were given to cattle to be
used infghting-t enable them to defend
themselves against dangerous enemies.
For this purpose they are of value upon
wild cattle. Domestic cattle have no
valuable Use for them.
.. The horns upon domestic cattle are
used mostly in goring and injuring each
other. All injuries to animals are paid
for in their distinguished growth, OF
diminished flesh, or increased amount o.
food consumed.
3, Hurns are a mere dead weight upon
the heads OF cattle, and the expense Of
carrying them about and warming and
supplying their waste is paid for in the
food consumed or the diminished weight o
the animal.

1t is curious 10 note that while 10 the
railroads is owing the abandonment Of
the wind carriage formerly seen by
travellers in China, Spain and Holland),
to the same agency it now seems likely
that its r~ejuvenation will be due. Wind
vehicles are already in use on the long
stretches Of tracks which extend over the
western p~rairies, and the speed attained
is said to rival that of the fast express
train. One which has been in use on
the Kansas Pacific railroad for the
past three years was devised by Mr..
c j. BascOm. The vehicle is said TO
average a speed of thirty miles per hour,
and, with a strong breeze, to travel at
the rate of forty miles in the same
period. This last speed was reached
with the wind right abeam. A distance
of eighty-iOur miles has been passed
over in four hours, the car sailing part
of this time close hauled and over disad-
~vantageOusly curved track.
The vehicle has four wheels, each
thirty inches in diameter, is six feet in
length, and weighs six hundred pounds.
The sail has two booms, respectively
fourteen and fifteen feet in length, and
an area of about eighty-one square feet.
The mast is eleven feet high, tapering
from four inches square at the heel to
two inches at the truck.
1t will be obvious that many Of the
laws applying to the icebOat apply
equally well to the sailing car. A little
consideration will show that when the
latter is sailing at forty miles per hour
it is travelling faster than the wind that
impels it, and this is constantly the case
in iceboat sailing. On the other hand,
iceboats always sail best close hauled ;
10 tact, the sheet is almost constantly
kept fat att. The sailing car, as stated
above, goes fastest with the wind directly
on the beam or side. OF course the
difference is due to the greater resistance
offered by the larger and more elevated
surfaces of the car body and its occu>
pants, and to the friction of the axle
journals, which probably, under ordinary
condition, is sufficient to prevent the
sailing car ever attaining the iceboat's
speed Scientific American.

Tie Art of PrOIOngIng lie.

People generally desire long life and good
he llth. Sickness and premature death are
almost always due to violations Of the laws
that govern our physical being, ard Ofwhich
the masses are ignorant. II men knew better
they would do better but how can they avoid
an evil that they know not of? While efforts
are made through the public schools to give
each child q so called common English edu>
cation, yet the children are permitted to
grow up and enter upon the responsible
duties OF active life, profoundly ignorant OF
the structure OF their own bodies, and the
laws OF physical being upon which their
health and lives depend. They are sent to
school aud crammed with arithmetic, gram.
mar and geography, by teachers who, in
many instances, have never studied physi.
ology and hygiene. They are taught to locate
the mountains and trace the rivers OF foreign
countries, but are never taught to locate the
vital organs and glands eli their own bodies,
or trace the veins, arteries and nerves, in
their various ramihCations. They are in.
structed in the flow of the tides, and the
course OF the ocean currents, and the philos.
Ophy OF winds and storms, but they have no
correct conception of the relative effects
upon their health of breathing pure or i'm
pure air, nor has their attention ever been
called to the importance Of keeping their
bodies clean and healthy by regular bathing.
The criminality of such neglect in teaching.
becomes apparent when we consider that
the masses, ~ignorantly violating the laws of
health, bring upon themselves sickness,
suffering and death, that might otherwise
be avoided. In this condition OF things we
welcome into being any work that is calcu.

the structure of their own bodies, the laws of
health and the importance OF observing those
laws, We find DR.. Pierce's Common Sense

There is but one possible answer to these
questions, Christians must be Of all
men the most charitable. The love Of
God cherished in the heart makes 1t
unselfsh, and unselishness is the very
soul and substance of true b~enevolenCe.
The unrenewed heart is in love with
itself. It seeks its own qualification in
all things. When it finds delight in the
higher and purer objects of an earthly
character, it is as the result of happy
social condition and culture. Its selfish
ness is the same, but only less
%unlovely in human sight than
that of the heart filed with
low desires and welded to correspond
ingly unworthy objects, When, now, the
love of God is shed abroad in the heart,
whether OF the naturally v%irtuOus, or OF
the demonstratively wicked man, 1t
works quite as radical a change in the
former as in the latter, and this change,
in either case, requires the emnlpotence
of Gods grace to effect it, Chicago

Funeral Fees.

Ministers who are engaged to attend
funeral services should be compensated.
Oitentimes the Journey from the resi-
derce or church to the grave occupies
several hours Os valuable time. Pastors
should not be expected to give time and
toll in this department Of professional
service gratuitously. If it is right to
pay 4 marriage fee, it is equally 50 to
pay a funeral fee. Both forms of service
are extra; and il one should bemore gene.
rously rewarded than the other, surely
the one which requires most thought,
time and exposure should claim the
preference. Of course, there should be no
formal charge; in some few instances
the family which is bereaved may be too
poor to pay tor ministerial attendance.
In such case, nc true pastor would even
think of compensation, or accept it, if
proftered. Bat ordinarily, we suggest
the propriety and justice of paying the
minister a reasonable fee for his services,
Just as the undertaken is paid, 1t often
occurs that pastors are asked TO venture
through inclement weather long distances
to the neglect of other important duties,
and to the forfeiture of opportunities tc
secure needed temporal helps, to conduct
a funeral service, and are permitted ia

SOUTHERN HOME AND FARM.


Much has been published within a few
years on the subject Of killing potatoes,
and by some the ~fat-culture system has
been highly recommended. At one time
the arguments brought out in its favor
were 50 clear that ! experimental on the
system, and the result was a very lean
harvest Of small potatoes. l have no
doubt, however. Of the sincerity of those
who recommended that mode Of culture,
which probably has been successful under
the circumstances by which they were
favored. But in farming, as in medicine,
there is no fixed and positive rules OF
practice. In medicine, the constitution,
habits and sll other peeuliarities are TO
be understood in order TO apply safe and
efficient remedies. So in farming, the
nature and quality of soil, and other
conditions, must be understood in order
10 insure successful practice. When the
potato rot hrst appeared in this country,
thirty.fve years ago, it was soon dis
covered that the vines we're first attacked
on low rounds, subject TO fogs, and that
the disease was worse on stiff, clammv
soils, enriched b. fermenting msnures.
This induced farmers to plant on lands
high and dry Git the soil was very sandy,
so much the BETTER and to use manures
cooling in their nature, The result was
saving of the crop under such manage
ment while where the older system Of
planting OF lower FIELDS of more compact
soil, and feeding with heating manures
was continued, a failure from rot was
the general consequence.
Here was a happy variation of results
brought about by q variation OF culture,
and we have no reason to suppose but
that a fiat culture of potatoes, under
some circumstances, may be successful.
Admitting this to be SO, we should
select sandy or very porous land as the
held on which to try this mode ofculture:
while on a tenacious, clayev soil, or q
stiff, loamy one, that requires much
working to keep it in a hiable condition,
| should continue the old system of
blowing out, pulverizing the soil, and
Milling up, Tor the following reasons:
Where such coils are gat-cultured, they
will become compact by the rains and
by the atmosphere, 50 that they become
lmpermeahle to the influence OF rain and
air-two valuable elements OF growth
consequently the size of the potato is
diminished. and its quality impaired, BY
lis being deprived Of two essentials OF
healthy growth,
Ireland, with soil moistened by The
saline breezas Of the sea, is famous 70,
potato-growing and her stalwart son,
who come to America are uniformly
successful in its culture here, and offer
raise fine crops of potatoes under most
u~niavorable circumstances. What theil
practice may be in other localities, l an
not informed but here, where they form
q numerous class, their uniform practice
IS to hill largely, or if they plant in drills
to bring the earth into ridges along The
growing crop, and their crops are large
Just when to form the hills is an i'm
portant consideration in securing a crop
and is better done after a rain than whel
the ground is very dry for by hoeing il
moisture, a supply is secured to c0uu
tcract the effect of dry weather. - Cor
