Ocean Gun ents I'm the Pacific

Ii had long been an accepted theory
that a branch of the Gulf stream or
warm current, which sets over from
Japan toward Alaska, was flowing
northward through Bebring straits in
to the Arctic ocean. W. III. Dali, act
ing assistant of United States coast
survey, in a recent report published
by Congress, finds that there is no such
warm current setting in that direction.
The "kuro-si-wo" according to this
authority, is not marked in it's approach
t. the American coast by sharply de-
fined walls of water temperature such
as characterize the Gulf stream of the
Atlantic. IL is not at all like river
flowing in its bed. There is general
DRIFT which is reversible and intermit-
tent when opposed BY storms, and
which shades of from a Temperature of
% degrees. That part of the kuro-si
wo having temperature OF % degrees
approaches the northwest coast in the
vicinity of Vancouver Island. There
is a detected arm of this current known
as the Alaska current, which has tenn
perature varying from 90 to % degrees.
The shoal waters OF the Behring straits
on the eastern side appear to be warm
er than on the western side. But
Capt. Dali says there is no proof that
there is a warm current flowing up
through the straits. The whole Pacific
coast, how ever, from Unmak in Alaska
to Vancouver is bathed by 4 sea with
summer temperature varying from As
degrees to 30 degrees. The winter
along a coast of this temperature never
csn be severe. There is great preci-
pitatIon of moisture, but only moder-
ate degree of cold until the interior of
the country is reached. Southeastern
Alaska has been described Dy recent ex-
plorers as haVlag more than toler-
able climate. For considerable part
Of the year it is pleasant and altogether
agreeable. It is essentially that of
Vancouver. The exhalations of moist
air are drifted inland. Vege tation is
rank, and a great deal of the land can
be made very productive. 1t Is not to
be supposed that the influence of the
Kuro-si-wo Is lost after passing Van
couver in a southerly direction. lt no
doubt has some influence all along the
Oregon coast, and greatly aids in the
precipitation of moisture in Washing
ton territory and northern Oregon. In
California we get only fogs as divid-
end, but they greatly aid vegetation.
Cant. Dali does not make his demon
S ration or a non-fowing warm current
IN Behring straits very clear, and the
fact that the water is warmer on. one
side than the other would still leave
some ground for the old hypothesis.

Initiation Power of Doga

Some dogs possess an initiating power
which IN men is called originality, inven-
ton, dlscovery-they make experiments.
We had pointer that exhibited this faculty
in a curious manner. She was weakly when
young, and for that reason, together with
other circumstances, was never properly
trained-a fact that may perhaps have pre-
vented her ''miDd" from congealing into
the stolidity of routine She became an
outdoor pet, and followed at heel every
where. One day some ponds were netted,
and of the fish taken few chanced to oe
placed in great stone trough from which
cattle drank in the yard. Sometime af.er-
wards the trough being foul, the fish-tbey
were roach, tench, perch, and one small
jack were removed to shallow tub, being
scarcely a foot deep, though broad, they
were, of course, distinctly visible, and at
once became an object of the most interest
to the pointer. She would not leave it,
but stood watching every motion of the fish,
with her head now on one side, now on the
other. There she must have remained
some hours; and was found at last in the
act of removing them one by one, and lay
ing them softly, quite unhurt, on the grass.
We put them back into the water, and
waited to see the result. She took good
look and then plunged her nose right under
the surface and halfway up the neck, COM
pletely submerging the head in that position
groped about on the bottom till fish came
in contact with her mouth, and was in
stantly snatched out. The head must have
been under water each time nearly a min
ute, feeling for the fish. One by one she
drew them out and placed them on the
ground, until only the jack remained. He
puzzled her, darting away swift as an ar
row, and seeming to anticipate the enemy.
But after a time he too was captured
When the fish were returned to the tub,
the pointer again commenced her fishing.
Scarcely anything could be imagined az
parently more opposite to the hereditary
intelligence of pointer than this; and GER
tainly no one attempted to teach her,
neither did she do 1t for food. 1t was an
original motive Of her own. To what can
1t be compared but mind proceeding by ex-
perimenti

SHoRT-HORNs YoR THE DAIRY.-Be-
fore the uncertainties of tradition were
supplarted by THE facts of history, the
Dur ham COW was known and highly
priced in some parts of England fer her
dairy qualities. In the earlier history
OF this breed they were known as the
Teeswater, the Holderness, the York
shires or Durham, depending upon the
location where bred aud kept. But,
about century ago, Mr.. Turner, oil
Hurworth, bred the famous bull Hub
back, and from him and his descendants,
Foljumbe, Boling5roke, Favorite, and
Comet, were established the various
families OF the improve Short-horn
breed of cattle. Robert and Charles
Collng, taking the lead and making Sc
lections from the Teeswaters, York
shires and Durhams, established the
Duchess family of Short-horns which
has been sure 10 improve every other
known breed OF cattle with which they
have been crossed. The Ceilings have
been followed by Bates, Booth, Spen.
GERS Ducle, and others OF England, by
Morris, Thorn, Sheldon, Alexander,
Groom, Wadsworth, Kelley, Harrison,
Butts, Samuel Campbell, and host OF
others, until the Short-horn Is we'll
known and duly appreciated in every
civilized country OF the world. Al
though some OF the breeders named,
and many others, have bred for fancy,
rather than for the dairy, yet the dairy
qualities are Inherent In the breed, in
an eminent degree, and only require
proper management to develop il IN its
original strength with absolute GER
tainty. | might give records Of milk,
of butter and cheese, of Short-horns,
and their grades, but it will perhaps be
sufficient for me TO say that the largest
yield of milk on record was by Duchess
lst, the mother of the Duchess family
ef Short-horns. The largest yield of
cheese per cow on record was produced
by herd of grade Short-horns, owned
by A. l.. Fish, Esq, of Herkimer
county, New York. The great value
of the Short-horn over other breeds for
The dairy, is in her ability to digest and
assimilate the food she consumes more
perfectly than any other breed, thereby
enabling her on given amount of food,
to produce the most milk, the most but
ter, the most cheese, and the most beef
for the food consumed, of any breed OF
cattle We have.

Bud-rariation Is fully recognized now,
and new varieties are produced as well
as from seed. Botanists, however,
continue to record examples, the latest
of which is by Fritz Miller, who, wri-
ting from Brazil, says that banana,
which for years produced reddishitruit,
one season sent up stem which bore
yellow fruit; and he asked whether all
the varieties of bananas may not have
originated in this way. This is the
general belief, as they do not perfect
seeds. All the varieties OF sweet pota'
toes in America are produced by bud
variation--the plant not Towering un-
der culture.

AGRICULTURE.

BETTER HAY AND PAsTURE.-Anyone
passing through agricultural districts,
say in June when the herbage has
about or nearly reached its full growth
must notice how land is only half or a
quarter utilized, by allowing the un-
checked growth of all sorts of weeds.
A large proportion of this land is pas
tured, and the way the poor cattle have
to seek out the little grass from among
the overwhelming weeds is source OF
actual sadness. These pasture fields,
too, are allowed to go on producing
noxious weeds for series of years
without an effort being made TO get rid
of them by the surest mode known to
the observing acknowledgement cuiticd-
tioR. Then, again, we see the same
proportion ofweeds in many fields from
which the cattle hay is to be cut and
this is done year after year just as
though COWS and other cattle would
eat the weeds any more rapidly dry
than green. 1t is as apparent as the
sun at MONDAY that to whatever extent
weeds are allowed to grOw,just to that
extent is the land wasted. Now that
this can be avoided in most cases scarce
ly admits of doubt. And what is true
of the pasture fields, Is the same where
the herbage Is left to become hay. The
good clean field Is the exception. Not
only the ox-eye daisy, but sorrel and
plantation, and asters of various kinds,
which cattle care no more for when
dry than when green, Constitute the
bulk of what is TO be hay; and it is toll
erably good stuff which has but one
fourth of extraneous matter. We ehave
before suggested that our agricultural
societies, which give so many and such
high premiums for fast trotting horses
might at least share little for the en-
couragement of the food which the
noble animal Is to eat Premiums for
well-grown hay, clean hay, hay from
improved grasses, and well-managed
hay-fields, would surely be objects
worthy of the attention of even estate
agricultural society,"" and We think it
will become so if the press will unite
in commencing the subject to general
attention. Surely there is no greater
eyesore than a field, looking as if it
might produce thirty bushels OF wheat,
seventy five of corn, or from two to
three tons OF lirst-class hay TO an acre,
allowed to be covered with masses OF
nOXious weeds, which can and should
be destroyec. a merchant from the
city who may pass through a rural sec
ton, and see these myriad of ox-eyed
daisy flowers, will almost invariably
ask why they are there, and if they
cannot be extermInaIed and good hay
and grain raised instead.
