The Demand for Heavy Horses.
Scientific Americana

Scientific American.
The Factory and Farm states
a fact which we have observed
to exist in this city for some
time past i. e., an increase in the
number of large horses used on
trucks and heavy business wag-
.ens. During the past fifteen
years, the writer remarks there
has been 4 great change in the
demand for horses in this coun-
try. Formerly nearly every
one bred in relation TO speed
and endurance. Now a large
proportion of farmers breed with
a view to increasing size and
strength, This change is not
the result Of caprice. There a
has been a steady increasing
demand for heavy horses, and
a corresponding falling ofrin the
demand for light ones. FASH
ion has had little to do in the
matter. Heavy horses are wan
ted because they supply an ex-
isting want, From present ap-
pearances it will be many years
before the supply of heavy
horses will equal the demand.
The country is now well sup
piled with horses. AT no time
in its history perhaps, were
there as many horses to a given
number of inhabitants as at pre-
sent. Small work horses are
low but heavy draught horses
continue to be high.
The importation Of ClydeS-
dale and Percheron-Norman
horses increases every year.
The first thatwere brought over
were regarded as very unccr-
tain ventures. At present they
are of no doubtful value. The
importers Of horses from France
and Scotland have suffered none
of the reverses of the importers
of short-horn cattle. With rare
exceptions they have become
rich. From present appearan-
ces we shall soon be sending
Clydesdales to Scotland and
England and Normans to
France and Belgium. The
value Of heavy draught horses
was recognized in the Old
World before it was in the
New. Now that their worth is
appreciated here all persons
having teaming to do seem anx-
ious to procure their,
Large horses are less liable
to Injuries from the swinging of
the poles of wagons than small
ones. Their bones are 6rmer
and they are commonly more
hardy. Large horses are more
economical as respects harness,
stall room feed aad work requi-
red to take care of them. In
all the countries of eastern Eu-
rope heavy horses have taken
the place Of light ones in gen.
eral farming operations. That
American farmers will soon
generally employ heavy horses
in field work seems certain.

Axle Crease A correspon-
dent says he uses castor oil in
summer and sperm oil in winter
for fine axles; summer when the
oil is worn out and becomes
sticky don't put on more until
you have cleaned the iron with
turpentine; you will cut the res
idue of the oil. Put on your
turpentine, then place your
wheel on the axle and revolve
tia few times; take off the wheel
and carefully wipe the axle
clean. A stick and a rag wet
with turpentine can be used to
clean the hub. Don't let the
oil wear out, almost invariably
grease a buggy after it has been
wet with rain. In winter add
one fifth turpentine to cold
pressed castor oil, and that with
slow driving, when you start,
will save your iron axles.

Oats for Poultry.-Probably
very few, if any, of our readers
have ever tried the experiment
of feeding oats to breeding
poultry in darge proportions
say at least three-iouTths to one
fourth of any and all other
grains. A fancier who has done
this land, as he says, "both eco
nomically and successfully" as
sures us that oats may be used
in this way to very good adj
vantage, as a daily food to
breeding fowls the year round;
and especially to the Asiatic
varieties, that are so predisp0s-
ed to put on an excess of inter-
nal fat, when fed in the ordi-
nary way.-American poultry

Acorrespondent OF the Amer

to describe to you a method Of
making fruit trees bear, that |
Numbered on. Some fifteen
years ago l had a small apple
tree that leaned considerably.
| drove stake beside it tied a
string to a limb and fastened it
to the stake. The next year
that limb blossomed full and
not another blossom appeared
on the tree and as Ton Bunke
said "it sctme to thinking" and
l came to the conclusion that
the string was SO tight that it
prevented the sap returning to
the roots; consequently it form
ed fruit buds. Having couple
of pear trees that were large
enough to bear but had never
blossomed l took a coarse
Irvine and would it several times
around the tree above the lower
limbs, and tied it as tight as 1
could. The next spring all the
top above the cord blossomed
as white as snow and there was |
not one blossom below where
the cord was tied. Ihave since
tried the experiment. on several
trees, with the same result. ri
think it is much better wavI
than cutting off the roots. Inl
early summer say June or July, |
wind a string Irvine around a
tree Of a single limb and tie it,
he tighter the better, and you
will be pleased with the result.

One acre OF green fodder will
feed two COWS through the sum-
mer. For carly cutting a mix
turc of oats and peas is said to
be the best crop-at least such
is the general opinion in Eng
land. The two sown together
are said toyield as much on one
acre as IMPLANTED separately on
two acres. But this is little
dubious. For the first crop the
blackeye marrowfat pea is re-
commended, and for a second
crop the small Canada gray pea.
The fodder is in the best condi-
ton for cutting when the peas
are in full blossom. The guam
tity and cost of an acre of peas
arenot given, which is quite an
important omission.

The Wool Trade.

The American Stockman in 4
capital leader on the wool trade
among other good things, says:
The exceptional and altogeth-
er unexpected advance in wool
of a yearago has led people gen.
orally TO hold firmly to their
stock, in the belief that a like
1etruDeA-aaaill- An-tla;s-year.
We wish to carefully avoid saw
ing anything which will lead any
of our readers to sell for less
than the very best figure the
market of the year will give
them, but as the producer is
naturally and almost necessarily
a bull in all markets for farm
products, and therefore llkelyto
beled into holding them long
or than profitable, it is the duty
Of every journal having the
farmers interest in view, TO in
form itself and its readsrs as
fully as may be on points bear
ing on those interests. It is, of
course, true that no infallible
rule can be given for selling,
else business would lose its un-
certainty. Last year there was
a sudden, exteme and altogeth-
er unexpected activity in all
lines of WOODEN goods, accom-
panied by a brisk and equally
extreme advance in prices. This
movement found its counterpart
IN the movement in iron and in
other lines of trade and manu-
features. But as the iron men
discovered that they had stimu-
lated trade beyond its real
strength, and that there was
coming a;reaction as natural as
It was unwelcome to them, so
did people in other lines of
trade. Prices went to a level
which offered a profit to the
foreign dealer, and the conse- !
quence was that our manufac- |
turers sent their money abroad. |
OF course the American farmer |
and stockman will not complain
OF receiving price higher than |
other people can get but the !
is he will not long get
such a price. In these days !

Some Curious Figures

Alabama is as large as Eng
land yet has only 100000 eo-
pie to England's 100000.
California with less than ,ooo,-
900 ofpeople is very little small
er than France with 100000.
Nevada is a little smaller and
Oregon is larger than New York
and Pennsylvania combined; so
either of these new States could
easily hold the two older States
combined population Of $780,
600. We do not think Massa-
chusetts overcrowded with l.
100000, nor Ohio with less than
100000 nor New York with
100000; and yet if Texas were
settled as thickly as New York
its 100000 would grow to a.
100000; if like Ohio it would
have 100000; if like Massa-
chusetts, it would hold $1,000
900, or more than the whole
present population of the Union.
There are only fifteen States out
of the thirty eight which have
each moore than 100000 of
people while there are fourteen
States which have a laxsS
than England, with
600. Settled

equal Missouri in population,
while their area is ten times hers.
So to be evenly populated like
Missouri sparsely populated as
the State is, these five should
have 100000 and to be set
tied like Massachusetts being
ninety times as large they must
have I35,ooo,o 900 or three times
our country's present population
If the whole territory of the
Union were settled like New
York if would contain a7o,ooo,-

almost equal the present popu-

81. yaieDtine's Day.

The anniversary of the festival OF 81,
Valentine will occur to morrow, the
18th instant. st. Valentine was bishop
of the Roman church, who ilourished
about $50 years after the Christian era.
History represents him as a man OF
most admirable parts, and SO famous
for his love and charity that the custom
of choosing Valentines upon his festival
took its rise. 1t was the custom of
ancient days on the eve of February
14th, St. Valentines day, and is still
practiced in some countries, to have the
names of a select number CT cne sex
put into some vessel by an equal
number of the other, and thereupon
every one drew name, which for the
time being was called his or her Val
entine. The prevailing custom in this
country is to send love missives to the
young ladies', the sender generally
keeping his name concealed. There is q
vile practice not prompted by love,
hewever, of sending comic cuts to ac-
ouaintances for Valentines.
