THE COMET.

The new comet now makes q
beautiful appearance in the Eastern
sky about half-past four o'clock in
the.morning. It is an unusually
large and healthy looking comet,
and us apparently ready for tussle
with the sun, the earth, or anything
else that comes in its way. We OBJ
served it close yesterday morning.
The star is about the size of plate,
and the tail, which is slightly
crooked, is about a foot wide where
it leaves the star, end gradually in
creases in width to the end, where
it is six or seven feet wide. As
near as we could judge, the tail is
about as long as from Emile's to
the Courthouse, but would proba-
bly, extend to the next corner, if
it were not for the bright moon
light, which prevents its showing
itself TO the best advantage. 1t is
a sight well worth seeing, however.
and we advise all who have not
seen it to sit up pntil half-past four
O'Clock in the morning and take a
good look, before it closes Its en-
gaeement. Admission free, and no
extra charge FOR reserved seats,

A DAYLIGHT SPRING.

Among the numerous springs to
be found IL this parish. there is o. e
which may be termed q natural
curiosity. 1t is located about ff-
teen miles from Coyington, i'll the
"Sharp Settlement" The peculiar
ity of this spriug is that it aow $
freely during the day, but dries up
at night. This fact has frequently
been noticed by gagoners stopping
in The vicinity. We can only ac-
count for this curious phenomenon
upon the hypothesis that the fouF-
tain of this spring operates in a
manner similar to that of the nee-
die of compass. which always
points toward the north. The cur
rent of the spring being always up
ward, of course the water flows
from the ground in the daytime.
But at night, when the world is
turned upside down, the flow of
the water still being upward, it
pursues its course in the opposite
direction-that is, toward the in
terror OF the earth. In the morn
ing, when the earth has revolved
on its axis, the water again nasu-
rally rises to the surface, of course
We have arrived at this conclusion
after mature reflection, but ac-
knowledge that we may possibly be
mistaken. We would Ike to hear
the opinion of older and more ex-
perienced scientists upon the sub
ject.

All Milk Not Good For Infants.

The health of infants is very east.
ly affected by the quality of tho
milk they take. 1t is always pret.
ty severe ordeal for the young of one
species of mammals to live upon the
milk of another species, even when
it is in the most perfect condition.
Infants are more susceptible To
the effects of such an unnatural diet
than the young of the lower mamma.

veloped power Of birth. If there ia
anything faulty in the milk of COW
which is made q substitute for I'm.
man milk, the child taking it is sure
to suffer, and if persisted in death is
the usual result. Investigations of
the supplies in cities, disclose tor
rlble slaughter of infants from the
use of bad milk, great care should
therefore be observed in providing
milk for their use. None but the
very best should be employed-none
but such as comes from cows in per.
feet health, fed on wholesome food,
and which have not been long In

Spontaneous Forests.

A writer in a West Virginia pa
per combats the opinion, held by
many arborlculturists, that an open
country is never converted into a
forest through the operation Of nat
ural causes, and, to establish the
fact that such change does sometimes
occur, brings forward the case OF the
Shenandoah Valley. When first set.

open prairie-like region covered with
tall grass, on which fed herds of deer,
buffalo, elk, ETC., and having no tim.

the annual fires were prevented, and

Brood Mares On The Farm.

The various modes of handling
horse stock upon the average farm
are attended with wide range Of
results. 1t is wise to keep three
brood mares, good ones, breeding
two of these in the spring and one
in the fall. Three such mares, if the
farm has the amount of surface that
should be kept devoted in this crop,
will do the work of a large farm and
do it easily. The mare that brings
a fall colt, will, with suitable winter
care and feed, give the colt a good
growth by the time grass comes
and at the age Of three years it win
hardly be noticed that the colts of
the spring before have any advan-
tage over it. The mare kept for
fall breeding VIII make u capital
change off during the spring work,
doing full duty while the others re-
quire to be favored. The gam in
rearing horses Of value, over those
of the cheaper grades, is more pro-
nounced than is the case of most
other product of the farm, the differ
ence being fully one-half, whether the
stock be first class draft stock or the
higher grades for other purposes.
When we consider the comparative
ease with which heavy brood marc
will do spring work at the pillow as
compared to the beast oflight weight
supposing both to be in foal, it viii
show the advantage of having this
class. On account of being in foal,
the light mare is only able to move
the pillow by putting every muscle
upon the highest tension, the breath
ing and the hearts action, laboring
unduly while this strain is going on.
The heavy beast leans forward into
the collar, and the very weight is
largely the motor, the real strain up.
