THE RUNNERS.
The history of the American tuh for 1879
is most gratifying to ail its well-wishers,
aud marked progress II noticeabls in every
depa, tment. More jockey clubs were In
active existence, more race meetings held,
more races ran, more horses trained and
more money given In purses and stakes
than ever before. The accessions to the
owners have been numerous, Influential
and wealthy. Higher prices than eyer
before have been paid for rsce-horses.
Breeding has greatly deveioped not only
IN Intelligent management but in the num-
Der OF establishm snts and the snount of
capital invested, yet SO great is tbedemand
that horses now bring higher prizes than
when but half as many were bred. Capt.
tai is the keenest judge, the most ruthless
critic, and the slowest acceptor f all en-
terprises and the best proof Of the pro-
gress, stability and permanenc OF the
American turf is found In the fat that In
different parts of the country, Ut Coney
Island, Chicago and elsewhere, capitalists
who are not sportsmen are seeking jockey
clubs and race tracks as an investment for
their money. During 1870 an enkrprising
American challenged the English thorough
breds on their own gronnd, and Parole,
confessedly inferior to several of our
horses, won five Of several Of Englind's his
to-ic trophies, mee tin 7, in some ofihem, the
pick of Engla ,d's stables. At home we
have wonderful performances by such re-
markable two year olds as Sensation and
Mistake the unequalled quinteth Of three
year olds, Falsetto, Spendthrift, Lord MUIR
ply, Monitor and Volturno, and other fly
ers, such as Glenmore, Bramble. Ferrido
and Bonnie Carrie. With such horses in
daily contest 1t il not strange that many
records should have been lowered. Mistake
reduced the two-year old one milArecord to
1:434. Among the three year olts Beati-
tude ran one mile in 1:42s, and Lord MUIR
ply one mile and half In 2:3 In all

CHICKENS.

IfyOu want your chicks to grow fast
feed them on oatmea! scalded with sour
or sweet milk. Don't make the feed
wet or sloppy, nor give more at once
than will be eaten up clean. Only pre-
pare as much at once as will be all eaten
up before fermentation takes place.
Where oatmeal cannot be had fine corn
meal or cracked wheat similarly treated
and administered will answer very
good purpose.

collie.

One fruitful source of collie in horses
is cracked corn. Ifcorn is 10 be fed use
whole corn. Its much more likely to
be perfectly masticaied than cracked
corn, and its imperfect masticatiou
causes the collie. II is also unwisc TO
feed grain to q hungry horse, for then a
very large portion is very apt TO be
swallowed without being properly mas
ticated. This can be seen in their void
ings. Always let the edge Of horses
hunger be taken OF with feed Of hay
before feeding grain. Half an hour ex-
ira spent in feeding, when ON the road,
will bring you home half an hour earlier
at night.

EGGS.

The best wav to keep eggs intended
for Matching 10 to wrap them IN paper
and put them down cellar in covered
box or basket. I have known eggs to
hatch after being kept this way for four
weeks before being set. If they have to
be kept for some time it is best to turn
them every day or every other day.
But set them NJ coon Us a hen can be
had TO take them.

Eggs intended for Matching should be

ASHES.

In nearly all soils ashes are beneficial.
Their action is two-fold; they supply
the plants inorganic constitu ents which
they require, and they act chemically "a
solvents upon other salts in the soil, or
they neutralize acids, etc. They are
moro bourGciaI on sandy and gravelly
lands than on clay. For plants that
a large percentage Of potash
and phosphoric acid, as carrots, turnips
potatoes and cabbases, ashes are an es.
sential manure.

Gazing at the desolotc spot barren

very sadly:
"Lonely, indeed, is the place of thy

Only sea birds to scream and the ocean

FALLEN FLOWERS.

One Of the workers of the world
Living toiled and toiling died;
But others worked and the world went on
And was not changed when he was gone
A strong arm stricken, wide sail farled,
And only few men sighed.
One of the heroes of the world
Fought to conquer, then fought to fai.
And fell down slain in his blood stained mail
And over his form they step;
His cause was lost and his banner furled,
And only Il woman wept.
One OF the singers among mankind
Sang healing songs from an o'erwrought heart:
But ere men listened the grass and wind
Were wasting the rest unSung like a wave;
And now of his fame that will he err de,,art
He has never heard in his grave.
One of the women who only love
Loved and grieved and faded away
All, Inc! arc these gone to the God above?
What more of each can say!
They are hnman flowers that flower and fall:
This is the song and the end of the all.
