TAE ADVANTAGE OF HoRNLEss CAT
TLE.-Atthe exposition i'm Paris recent
ly there was prize of $500 for the best
herd of cattle outside OF France by one
exhibitor. For this prize a herd OF
Angus polls took the first, herd of
Angus polls took the second, and a herd
Of short-horns from England took the
third. 1t has been said by short-horn
men that the best English herds were
not represented there, but the fact is.
that Lady PigOt'S herd that took the
third premium was as we'll and fashion
ably bred as any I'm England, and the
show of short-horns was most excellent.
AS still greater triumph there was
prize of $500 for the best beet producing
group embracing animals from all
countries, and the Angus polls were
again the winners. On this class there
was a jury of 81 members and out OF
that number "a were for the Angus and
for the short-hOrns. These are facts
that may be taken as conclusive that
the introduction Of good representatives
of this family into this country is i'm no
sense a doubtful experiment. AS beef
makers they are certainly i'm quantity
equal and i'm quality superior to our
ShOrt-horns; as breeders they are more

road or ocean travel, and whether for
one mile or a thousand, the danger Of
accidents is greatly reduced, the suffer
ings of the animals is greatly anchor
ated, the facilities and convenience of
the keepers are greatly improved, the
animals reach their destination, not
tevered with sufierings and torn with
the unwilling horns of their neighbors,
but comparatively fresh and i'm good
condition. There is large percentage
here i'm favor of the pollcd cattle that
the shipper will be prompt to recognize
i'm the prices he pays, and every man
with heart will rejoice at so great an
abatement of the cruelties we witness
every day.

a Neo Theory Of De,c. 49, Professor
Stockbridge, of the Amherst Agricul-
tural College, has been making some
experiments as TO the origin of dew
ana has arrived at conclusions some
what different from those generally ac-
cepted. 1t is usually held that dew Is
the moisture of the air condensed
through contact with objects of lower
temperature, and that il does not form
until radiation has reduced the tempera-
ture of the earth. Professor Stock
bridge asserts, however, that dew is the
result of condensation by the air of
warm vapor which rises from the soil
ana he embodies the result of his ex.
perlments In these propositions: l. The
Vapor OF the soil is much warmer M
night then the air. and would be con-
densed by it. 2. Vapor from the soil is
soon difiused and equalizcd in the whole
atmosphere, but in the largest propor-
ZION when evaporation is taking place
near the surface of the soil; and. other
things being equal, plants nearest the
earth have the most dew. 3. Dew nm.
der hay-cocks, boards and like objects
on the ground could receive it from no
other source.

Yours truly,

LADY riding i'm car on the New
York Central Railroad was disturbed
I'm her reading by the conversation of
two gentlemen occupying the seat just
before her. One of them seemed to be
a student of some college on his way
home for vacation. He used much
profane language, greatly to the annoy
ance of the lady. She thought she
would rebuke him. and, on begging
pardon for interrupting them. asked
the young student if he had studied the
languages. I" Yes, madam, have
mastered the languages quite WELL"

SHYNESS AND IIMIDTTN IN HORSES
I'm common horse language. these pro-
pensities are COMPOUNDED one with the
other, or else no proper or right dis
tinction is made between them. a
horse may be timid without being shy,
though he can hardly be said TO be shy
without being tlmid. Young horses in
their breaking are timid, frightened at
every strange object they see. They
stand gazing and staring at objects they
have not seen before, fearful to APP
prOach them; but they do not run
away from or shy at them; on the con-
trary, the moment they are convinced
there is nothing hurtful i'm them, they
refuse not to approach, and even to
trample upon them. This the shy horse
will not do. He cannot be persuaded
to turn towards or even to look at the
object he shies at, much less to approach
1t. Timid horses, through usage and
experience, get the better of their III
nudity, and in time become the very
opposite to fearful. But shy horses,
unless worked down to fatigue and
Oroken-s piritedness, rarely forget their
old sins The best way to treat them
is to work them day by day, moderate
ly, for hours together, taking no notice
whatever of their shying tricks, neither
caressing nor chastising them, and on
no account whatever endeaVoriug to
turn their heads either towards or away
from the objects SHE'D at.

BUTTER PACKING Pack in vessels
which will impart no impurities to the
butter. Fill within half an inch of the
top. Place a thin cloth wholly over
I he butter. over that pour cold brine
rs strong as can be made of hot water
and the purest salt, or cover with "a
layer of fine salt. The whole process
of making the butter, from drawing
the milk to the placing Of the butter in
packages, should be hurried, as milk,
cream, and butter are going TO decay
every moment when exposed to the air,
however pure it may be. Such butter
is ready TO keep or to sell. If to be kept
long before selling, surround every
package with coarse salt, by placing
them in boxes prepared for the purpose.
This process keeps the butter cool and
hard, and free from sudden changes OF
air. When all these things are attend
ed to promptly, and with as much uni
iormity as is under the power of man
TO control, there will be a near approach
10 uniformity in color, richness and
purity. If the new beginner follows
these rules, and keeps doing so, he will
soon command the highest figures.
Cleanliness and common sense applied
from the beginning to the end are abb
solutely necessary to insure good but
