What Is a Thoroughbred

As ordinarily applied by breeders, the
word thoroughbred simply means
purely bred, or of unmixed lineage, and
in this strict sense none of our domes-
ticated animals can justly be called
thoroughbreds, because they all have a
more orless composite ancestry. When,
however, a certain strain or race has
been bred within itself, without out
crosses to other or different strains, for
many generations, until marked and
peculiar type is uniformly reproduced,
that race, or strain, or breed is said to
be thoroughbred or purely bred.
The term thoroughbred was first APP
piled only to horses in Great Britain.
bred especially for racing purposes and
was adopted as the name Of the breed,
and is still used for that distinctive pur-
pose. Consequently, when one speaks
of a Thoroughbred horse, all intelli-
gent horsemen understand that the
rdce-hOrSe is meant. No horses are re-
cognized as Tholoughbreds in this coun-
try that do not show an unbroken line
of ancestry, on both sides, to animals
recorded in the English Stud-book. No
intelligent horseman will speak of a
thoroughbred Morgan, a thoroughbred
trotter, or a thoroughbred draft-hOrse,
because, as before stated. the term,
when applied to horses, belongs only to
one particular breed, called Thorough
breds. National LiUe- Stock Journal.

An AdrOit Robbery.

A carriage in the train bound from
Vienna to Pesth contained one evening
lately five passengers-an Englishman,
two Magyars, mild-looking man of
sixty, and handsome young German,
who seemed dreadfully sleepy. The
Englishman observed that the sexa-
genarian essayed to chat with the young
German, who, however, yawned, and
soon slumbered. The sexagenarian be-
came garrulous, and lamented his SON s
carelessness in money matters. "See
him now, going to sleep in a. carriage
full, of strangers. think I'll give the
young man fright for once in his life;"
and lifting up the lapel of his coat, he
laughingly drew out a pccketbook~ At
Pressburg the careful father said he
must get out for a minute, but when
the train moved on he didn't return.
When the young man woke up they told
him that his father had got out and
taken his pocketbook. MY fatherI''
he shrieked, and, clutching his empty
pocket, burst into yolley of most un-
filial imprecation. Il haven't got a
father" he howled out. Il never saw
the old scoundrel before. Good heavehsi
that pocketbook contained 5000 forms.
He must have seen it when | took my
ticket" Not unlikely. That genial.
soi-disant parent has not yet been heard
from.

Preserving Pastures.

Among the many propositions to rem
Ovate the pasture one has largely been
overlooked, management. 1t is the
cheapest and most practical manure on
the farm. The common plan is to have
but one pasture, upon which the cattle
must Craze as ali times. If it comes to
the bare sod during seasons of extreme
drouth the stock must continue to grub
at the sod for want of better. This eX-
poses the roots of the grass to the sun
and Injuries or destroys the plant. Sup
pose we use our trees and shrubs in that
way, the detriment to growth would be
at once apparent. A good top on grass
for growth is as necessary as upon trees.
That one hundred acres of land in two
pastures will keep one-third more stock
than the same number of acres in one
pasture has long been known to the
practical farmer. The reason is that the
stock can be removed before it has
graZed the pasture too closely, before
the roots of the grass are uncovered.
A plan that will renovate hundreds of
pastures is this: Let the grass have a
good start in the spring, say four inches,
before turning on the stock, and change
pastures as often as the pastures APP
pear to be closely grazed.-Prot. S.

See That the Cattle Have Drink.

A friend told us few days since that
he had lost fine heifer, caused by fail
ure to get enough water. We called
attention, short time since, to the
danger from this source and hope we
may be pardoned for an allusion to the
subject at present.
Ii cattle are left to hunt their own
drink from pools that are ice-cold and
scant at best, or are compelled when
the weather IS severely cold to. travel
long distances for water, they will at
times. go without their necessary drink,
rather than be placed at so much dis
comfort to obtain it. Running daily in
the stock fields and eating freely of the
dried leaves and husks of the corn
fields, is very hazardous to life, unless
they have sufficient drink to soften the
entire mass. No digestion can take
place until the food is thoroughly moist
ened and they should receive daily at
tentiOn and water plentifully provided
for their use, and if possible such as is
not ice-cold. Burlington HaUk- Eye. :.

Ladies can wax wondrously gran
eloquent when in the mind. A Ken
tuckian victim of mans Inconsistency
thus sets forth her plant in petition
for divorce: eDark clouds of discord
began to lower over the sky of welded
felicity, and the minacious light
ming of disunion began to dart its lurid
flames across gloomy clouds of atramen-
tai blaekness, ooscuring. every star of
hope and happiness whose respondent
glory illuminated the dawn of the first
few brief years of her welded life, when
she gave her hand and an undivided
heart to the defendant, who, in the sui
try month of July, 1879, after having
been warmly and snugly wintered with
in the fond embraces of her loving arms,
and closely nestled to heart that beat
alone for the defendant, showed his base,
black ingratitude by abandoning her
without cause whatever, except the
Unsuitable thirst for novelty which is
the predominant character of defend
ants nature"

Farm AND FrRENDE.

DO not let the manure-heaps be-
come frozen. They will remain totally
unchanged during the whole winter if
they once become frozen solid, and in
the spring there will be lot of manure
unfit for Immediate use. Keep the piles
well heaped up and covered with loose
manure on the top.
Apple fritters make nice and
cheap dessert. Prepare batter for
griddle cakes, that is, a thin batter
made of flour. sweet milk and baking
powder, or flour, sour milk and soda.
Then stir in apples which have been
chopped fine, the quantity depending
on your taste. Fry them as you would
griddle cakes and serve hot with strip
made af melted white sugar
-One need not be much of an epicure
to distinguish readily the difference be-
tween fowl that has been shut up and
delicately fed for time before killing,
and one that has been forced to scratch
for living. Confne fowls intended
for the table in darkened place,
give them plenty of milk, either fresh,
thick, or sour, with grain and table
scraps, and you will have delicate ar
ticle of food, with no strong "chicken"
flavor about it.-CticGgo Times.
Soda Crackers. Five small cups of
flour, two small cups of corn-starch.
two teaspoonfuls of salt, five teaspoon
fuls of cream-of-taltar. Pass through
the sieve three times Chop two table
spoonfuls of firm lard in the flour. Dis
solve two scant teaspoonfuls of soda in,
two tablespoonful of warm water, add
about pint of milk to it, stir into the
flour and mix to smooth dough. Roll
out thin, cut into squares, rub the sur
face with sweet milk and bake in very
moderate oven. Do not brown.
Cranberry Pie.--There are various
ways to make a cranberry pie; some
make it open like custard or pumpkin
pie. This is good, but not so good as to
cover like an apple pie. Do not stew
the berries as some do before baking,
but slit each berry with knife. This
will preserve the freshness of the fruit,
which is quite an important thing. A
cupful of berries and an equal quantity
of white sugar will make medium sized
pie. Those who like sweet pie should
have more sugar, also more berries if
sifted over the fruit gives it thicker
consistence. One thing should not be
forgotten, add small teacupful of
water.
Much damage is frequently done to
young fruit trees in the winter by rab
bits gnawing away tae bark, oftentimes
to the entire destruction OF the trees.
This great annoyance may be prevented
effectually by wrapping the trunk with
any coarse fabric, such IS baling cloth,
from the ground to a point as high as
rabbit would be likely to reach even if
the ground should be covered with u
deep snow, and the same tied with Irvine
to prevent slipping off; or if preferred
the ordinary tarred paper used as
sheathing in building may be used in
stead. Some precaution must be taken
if absolute immunity from these pests is
desired, or ruined trees will be the pen
atty of such neglect. Huntington Ha1OE-

A Hanging at Newgate.

THIS morning, to Newgate, to see two
poor wretches hanged; and now at even
ing in no delight with myself at having
done so. An awful sight, and yet more
miserable than awful. From the mo-
street within the gray, cold walls, all
through from first to last, it was rather
as if a company of dogs had come to-
gether to hang another dog in close
back yard. Something more there was
in the reading of the burial service in
the ears of the malefactors yet alive,
and something more in the tolling of St.
Sepulchre's bell; but as for the rest, no
sign or token was there of the terrors
or the majesty of law nor of the dignity
of human life, nor of the dread response
bility of extinguishing it. A kitten cast
to drown in pitcher is dispatched with
as much ceremony almost. Here is a
narrow stony court enclosed in high
stone walls, and barrier across it fenc-
ing the door through which the crimi-
mails are brought, and thereby bright
structure of wood not unlike loose box
not unlike claimants shelter-but
the sides of it only waist-high. This
shed is the place of execution; the muir
derer is taken within it and hanged from
beam under the shed roof; he and his
executioners and the witnesses of his
death standing all upon a level, and all
in the little space between the pitiless
walls. While l waited in an outer room,
dreadful it was to see little knot of
workmen scuflle by, beforehand, with
spades and pickaxes, and one with bag
on his back with lime in it; these to pre-
pare the grave. More terrible that, to
me, than all that followed. Hurriedly,
in stumbling, furtive, silent way, the
two that were to die were brought into
the court; not very terrified, it seemed
glad, perhaps, that there was so soon
to be an end; one of them of sinister
lock, the other and greater villain boy
ish and marked with the criminality of
born fool. When all was prepared,
"Good-by," they said: "Good-by ="
between them and their executioner;
and then in an instant they disappeared
far beneath the shed in a pit. No more.

ness Burdett- Coutts's pretty show of
flowers, and her flower brigade of girls

Polar Waves.

EXTRACT from the Limekiln Club
proceedings, in Detroit Free Press:
Jericho Smith, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Popular Science and Natural
Philosophy, announced that his monthly
report was ready. His committee had
been asked to investigate the origin of
the polar waves which sweep across the
country during the winter at stated in
tervals. They had consulted all con-
venient authorities, and would report as
follows:
eve am satisfied dat de cold bigins
somewhat, but de exact pint no man
kin find out. De spot on which it
starts grows colder an colder, an bime-
by, when it gifts so ALFRED cold dat
whisky would freeze in ten ticks OBJ de
clock, streaks of weather scoot off dis
way an dat, and keep CROWN an goin'
till dey reach Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo
an all udder big places. Dis am de
theory of de majority of dis committee.
De minority, composed of Brudder Hem
lock Jones. wishes me to report dat it
am his candid opinyun dat polar waves
