Wind Breaks.
From the Prairie Farmer.

If the farmer has barn. and fence
around it, let him plant, outside of that
fences row of evergreens, closely together,
so that nothing can injure them, and in
few years he will have such a protection
from tho storms for his stock that no
money could induce him to remove the
trees. We know this to be fact, and VIC
further know that where such wind breaks
exist no shivering stock is to be found.
OF course we would not have these trees
all around the barn, but just at those parts
where the storms arc most prevalent.
And where farmers have barns, or protection
by buildings, and wish to have protection in
some way, let them select some suitable.
field, and hedge it in with thesame kind
Of trees, in the same way they would their
barn yards, they will meet with success, as
every person who has tried the experiment
knows. Let these wind breakers 30 planted
during the coming summer. and in few
years no farmers win complain of having
no protection for his stock.

account of the Lans appaI atus in use in
the placer claims on Snake river:
From the gravel banks on which the hy-
draulic plays, runs grizzly answering to
the old sluice box, only instead of solid
bottom, with rifles across, there is a sheet
of perforated iron 81 feet long and four
feet wide, the pecforatiors nearest the
gravel being smaller than those at the
further end-the smallest holes are one
largest ones a,e thre e-sixteenths of an
inch. The grizzly is set on an incline and
supported by legs Of an equal length, placed
underneath. Below this is proof-shaped
lengthwise of the grizzly. Covering this
proof-like platform on both sides are the
amalgamated plates, each Of the upper
tiers being sixty inches wide and 240
inches in length. Slightly underlapping
these are plates 16 inches wide and 240
inches long, while still below are blankets,
with sand bag rnnning underneath the
edges. At the lower end of ths grizzly a
tom, made of iron / IDS or bars, is placed at
a sharp angle, and uuder this nearly level
trough is the l. t e',' NE plate, with the
sand boxes continue and meeting under

The plates are prepared by washing them

sium, and afre. ward '. th quicks " or, when
they are ready for service. The water is
turned ON the grizzlies and the dirt thrown
in. The g1ld and heavy sard fall through
the perferations of the grizzly, while the

From the London Academy.

J.
biologists, astronomers and physicists
alike have hitherto been baffied in thier at
| tempts to set up any satisfactory kind OF
chronometer which win approximately
measure geological time, and thus give us
some cleW to the antiquity of our globe.
1t is therefore worth noting that Mr.. Mel
lard Reade, of Liverpool, has lately con-
tributed to the Royal Society a very sng-
gestive paper, in which he eudeavors to
grapple with the question by employing
the limestone rocks of the earth's crust as
an index of geologio Il time. Limestones
have been in course Of formation from the
earliest known geological periods, but it
would appear that the later found strata
are more calcareous than the earlier, and
that there has, in fa1s, been a gradually
progressive increase of calcareous matter.
The very extensive deposition Of carbonate
of lime over wide areas of the ocean-bottom
at the present day is sufficiently attested
by the recent seundings of the Challenger
According to the authors estimate, the
sedimentary crust Of the earth is at least
one mile IN average actual thickness,
of which probably one-tenth consists
of calcareous matter. Tn seeking the
origin of this calcareous matter, it is assum-
ed that the primitive rocks of the original
crust were of the nature of gigantic Or
basaltic rocks. BY the disintegration of
such rocks, calcal aous and other sedimen-
tary deposits have been formed. The
amount OF lime salts in waters which drain
districts made up of GRANTEES and basalts is
found, by a comparison of analys IS, to be
on an average about 3.73 parts in 100000
parts of water. 1t is further assumed that
the excesed areas Of igne ous rocks, taking
an average throughout all geological time,
will bear to the exposures of sedimentary
rocks ratio Of nj out one to nine. From
these and other data Mr.. Reade concludes
that the elimination Of the calcal eous M at
ter now found in all the sed,mentary strata
must have occupied at least G00,C 100 of
years. This, therefore, l.rea ants the
minimum age Of the world. The author
infers that the formation of the Laurent IN,
Cambrian and Silurian strata mrst 1--we oc-
cupied about 100000, 900 of years the old
red sandstone, the carboniferous, and the
poikilitic systems, an other 100000 900;
and all the other strata, the remaining $780,
100000. Mr.. Reade is, therefore, led to
believe that geological time has been enor-
mously in excess of the limits urged by
certain physicits; and that it has been
ample to allow for all the changes which \
on the hypothesis of evolution, have occur
red in the organic world.

Courier, referring to his recovery from q
dangerous illness, says: r

ed me to take a fiat iron and heat it as red
as could bear; put double fold of fan
mel on the painful part I'd move the iron
to apd fro on the flannel. Twas cured by
enehantment. My doctor told me that
some time siuce Professor in one of our
colleges, after suffering some days with
neuralgia in the head which he himself had
tried TO cure, sent for the former, who pre-
scribed hot fiat iron. The next time the
Doctor saw the Professor .he latter ex-
claimed with mock anger: !" leslly shall
not pay you any fee What! I had no
sooner applied the heated iron TO my head
than instantly all pain yanquished.! That
is as simple as good day; surely you cannot

HAVE HOPE.

The shadow of the mountain falls athwart the lowly
plain,
And the shadow of the cioudlet hangs above the
meuntains head
And the highest hearts and lowest wear the shadow
of some pain,
And the smile is scarcely fitted ere the anguished
tear is shed.
For no eyes here have been ever without weary
tear,
And the lips cannot be human which have never
heaved sigh;
For without the dreary winter there has never been
year,
And the tempests hide their terrors in the calmest
summer sky.
So this dreary life is passing-and amid its
maze
And we gropc along together half in darkness, half
in light;
And hearts often saddened by the mysteries of
our ways,
Which are never all in shadow and never wholly
bright.
And our dim eyes ask beacon and our weary feet
agude,
And our hearts of all lifc's mysteries seek the
meaning and the key;
crucifed,
And He answers all our yearnings by the whisper
"FolloW Me-" Father Ryan.

Training a Colt to Harness.

A writer to the English Agricultural Ga
sette gives the following ss an easy and
practical method of aceustoming young
colts to the res traints of harness.
Put on him an easy collar, having pair
of reins attached, or add two pieces to
lcngthen the traces, and let stong man
walk behind him, holding these. After o
few minutes the. leader may order the man
to pull the traces very gently,so as to press
the collar tut slightly at first. In little
time he may pull tighter, while the leader
keeps his eye on the colt, and if he shows
any signs of flincbing, let him order the
traces to be slackened agaia, and the same
course gone over repeatedly, but stopping
the colt occa sionally to gentle him, taking
care, however, to slack the traces just as he
stops and to turn little to one side when
starting each time, while the man pulls
the opposite trace.
After this exercise let him be taken to
the cart Or other vehicle for which he is in
tended, allow him to smell and examine it;
then push it away and draw it up to him
several times, Rising and lowering the
shafts, until he to kes no notice of it's noise.
or of the different appearances when raised
and lowered. Now turn HIM round and
put him between the shafts, rub them
against his sides, push back and draw up
the cart, striking him behind and on the
sides with it, until he allows himself to be
"kicked about by it, SO to speak. This
will do for one days lesson. Next day let
all his harness be put on, leaving chains or
straps to hang and strike against him, while
the whole of the previous days lesson is
gone through step by step. Same on third
and foulth days. H. may then be yoked
or hitched to the cart, and should have at
least an hours exercise at going up and
down hill, tuning, etc. First start on level
ground. Ii these directions be carried out
the colt learns that the vehicle he draws is
not meant to hurt him, and he will never
try to !. kick it away" or "run off" from
it.

it against him.
Fourth--Al ways start a hoese with the
