Treatment Of Stallion.

J. D. D.-How can my stallion be
made surer? He leaves plenty of seed,
but does not stick more than n mare
in 10; he is vigorous enough, and is al
ways willing and is worked moderately.
ANs.-It doesn't seem to be the fault
of the stallion that the mars do not get
in foal; probably the fault lies entirely
in the mares. When not easily got in
foal, a mare should be brought to the
horse cool and not fatigued with exer-
else. Then let her be served and put
into a cool stable by herself, where she
will not be disturbed by the sight,
movement, or noise of any other animal.
AS soon as the horse can serve her
again-which may be in a quarter to a
full hours time, according TO his vigor-
put her to him the second time, and then
let her rest an hour or two, and
do not let her get hot or be
exercised much till the next day,
and then and afterwards let her be
gently and moderately worked. Some
mares can never be got in foal except
by two services, and they occasionally
require three, as fast as the stallion is
able to serve them. When put to the
horse the mare should be in proper con-
dition-neither fat nor lean, MOI should
she have been idle or worked hard, and
she should have been fed moderately.
Your treatment of the stallion seems to
be iudicious, so far as giving him mod
crate exercise daily. 1t is presumed he
is properly fed hay or grass, with six
to IL quarts of oats per day, as he may
need; or an equivalent of other grain,
such as middlings or ship stuff, mixed
with one-fourth to one-half of Indian
meal; but oats are the best feed. Avoid
pure corn, although at the South and
West it is fed more or less with impun-
ity; but there the horses are reared on
it, and being accustomed to it, they are
not apt to be injured by it when fed
pure in moderation.

The Hast He'd.

Of the eight pounds which a man eats
and drinks in a day, it is thought that
not less than five pounds leave his body
through the skin. And if these five
pounds, a considerable percentage es-
capes during the night. This, being in
great part gaseous in form, permeates
every part of the bed. Thus all parts
of the bed-mattress, blankets, as well
as sheets-soon become foul, and need
publication.
The mattress needs this renovation
quite as much as the sheets.
To allow the sheets to be used with
out washing or changing three or six
months would b~e regarded as badhouse-
keeping; but l insist, if q thin sheet can
absorb enough of the poisonous excre-
tions of the body to make it unfit for
use in a few days, a thick mattress,
which can absorb and retain athousand
times as much of these poi
sonous excretions, needs to be purified
as often certainly IS once in three
months. A sheet can be washed. A
mattress cannot be renovated in this
way. Indeed there is no other way of
cleaning a mattress but by steaming it
or picking it to pieces, and thus in
fragments exposing it to the direct rays
of the sun. As these processes are
scarcely practicable with any of the or
binary mattresses, / am decidedly of
the opinion that the good, old-fash-
toned straw bed, which can every three
months be exchanged for fresh straw,
and the tick washed, is the sweetest of
beds.
If in the winter season the porous
ness of the straw bed makes it a little
uncomfortable, spread over it two
wooden blankets, which should be
washed. With this arrangement, if
you wash all the bed-covering often,
you will have a sweet, healthful bed.
Now, if you leave the bed to air, with
open windows during the day, and not
make it up for the night before evening,
you will have added greatly to the
sweetness of your rest, and, in conse-
quence, to the tone of your health.

and Two powerful irea-eiaas, 1ica
were destined to play a most important
part III Chilean affairs were built ~
England. Meanwhile, the constitution
was officially interpreted so as to guar
antee religious liberation, and the po-
litical power of Roman Catholic priest
hood diminished. Almost everything
good, except home manufactures and
education, hourished. The develop
ment of the nation in these years was
oh a wonderful scale for a South Ameri-
can state, and the contrast between Chile
and Peru was peculiarly striking. Com
parative purity and strength of race,
born out of hardship and producing po-
litical stability and honesty and person
al courage, seemed to be the prime fac
tors in the Chilean distinction. And
yet the two peoples were the descend
ants of the same European rae and Of
kindred Indian races. Doubtless the
difference in climate was entirely favor
able to Chile. Apropos, one recalls
Mr., Edward Everett Hale's rule for de-
termining in advance the length of q
South American outbreak: Multiply
the age of the president by the number
of statute miles from the equator divide
by the number of pages in the given
constitution: the result will be the
length of the outbreak in days. This
formula includes an allowance for the
heat of the climate, the zeal of the
leader, and the verbosity of the theor-
lists. July Atlantic.

floors in New York residences, but they
are all the rage now among New York

them because they are nice for q ger

are also popular among those who do

The Growing Power of the Repub.
lie of Chile.

After the perfection of its national
independence, the Chilean government
soon passed into the permanent control
of civilians, while the other govern
ments of the west coast remained prizes
for military chieftains. " It's present con-
stitution was framed in 1888, and though
it is only half q century old lit is the
oldest written national constitution in
force in all the world except u own
unless the Magma Charta of England
be included in the category" The
political history of Chile during the
fifty years Of its life has been that Of
a we'll ordered commonwealth, but one
Of a most unusual and interesting sort.
It's government has never
been forcibly overthrow, and
only one serious attempt at
revolution has been made. Chile is IN
name and in an important sense a re-
public, and yet its government is an oil
garchy. Suffrage is restricted to those
male citizens who are registered. who
are twenty-five wears old if unmarried
and twenty-one If married, and who can
read and write; and there is also q strin-
gent property qualification. The con-
sequence IS that the privilege Of yoting
Is confined TO an aristocracy In 1876,
the total number of ballots thrown for
president was only AS, la in a popuIa-
ton Of about two and quarter millions.
The president Of Chile has immense
powers of nomination and appointment,
and when he is d man Of vigorous will
he tyrannically sways public policy, and
can almost always dictate the name 81
his successor. The government
has thus become practically
vested in d comparatively small number

Improved methods on the Farm.
Fran the Breeders Gazette.

Fran the Breeders Gazette.
There are very few farms in this coun
try, east or west, that have ever been
made to produce over so per cent. of
their capacity, and very few farmers
capable of making even 100 acres do
more than this. A vast majority of
those who own more would be benefited
by selling the surplus and using the
proceeds as a capital to improve the re-
naming acres, and by purchasing better
stock.
The little Island of Jersey is said to
maintain one animal to every two acres
on the island, including roads, fences
and the ground occupied by buildings.
Their farms average about ten acres.
In a very few instances in this country
one animal has been supported to each
improved acre. This proves what is
possible under the best management.
The best talent, the intensest study,
the most knowledge and the best bust
ness methods should be,
and will be devoted to agricul-
ture for years to come. The
professions are o~verstocked. Doctors
are without patients and lawyers with
out clients, as most of them ought to
be; but good Ian dis are cheap and plenty.
Intelligent laborers on the farm are
scarce and better paid than any other
class. Farming hes been accepted as a
last resort by those unable to live by
their wits, or good enough for such as
were considered incapable of or indif-
ferent to thorough culture. The men

cal course or q law course of
lectures after completing his educa-
ton at the academy or college. These

Women who Never Buy.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
A dry goods salesman says: Wehave
to endure a great deal at the hands of
those ladies who never buy. These
people take up valuable time, and a
good part of our energies is directed to
the effort to circumvent them, The
moment an "old timer comes up to the
counter she is instantly recognized by
some one of the statesmen, and the warn
ing signal, a tap on the counter ispassed
along the line. Then we have some
fun. The "old timer" will call for, say,
a certain shade of yellow. She is told
that it is not In the stock. "Oh, what
q pity" she exclaims, "that is just what
/ wanted. If you had it ] would buy
sixteen yards of it," Them it is thenext
mans turn. He comes up, accordingly,
and tells the first salesman that he is
mistaken, that there is still a bolt of
twenty wards of that indentical stuff in
the store. He brings it forward and
lays it down. You would think the
shopper who never buys would be dis
concerted at this turn of affairs. Not
a bit of it. She says smilingly: ooh,
that is just what / want. Lay it aside
for me and ] Will see my dressmAker
and see just how many yards she needs,
snd to-morrow I'll come back and buy
it," Then she departs with a shipper,
but she never comes back. We amHse
ourselves IN this way, but it's a terrible
nuisance all the same.

The frosts in New England in May

ported that the ground froze and that

Connecticut and some parts OF Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont. The
outlook for farmers vas never more
discouraging in New England, and the
fatal season Of 1876, the year without

month, is despondently recalled. Corn
that withstood the freeze in the last

A GALE LADY's MAID.
A Society Scandal That is Convulsing
London Society.

London Society.
To-day's issue of The London Yani-
ty Fair contained a startling sensation,
involving ~ scandalous charge against q
lady of title and high social standing.
According to Vanity Fair, a young per-
son who has been for some time in the
lady's employment as a confidential
lady's maid has been discovered by the
police to have been practicing a shame
less deception. The newspaper does
not venture to divulge the lady's name,
but refers all inquiries to the police.
The public reference to a scandal
which has for several days past been
whispered about in the clubs is expected
to cause a connection in Belgra-
via. The story is told In much greater
detail by a we'll known detective, who
is employed exclusively upon what are
known as society cases. According to
this authority, the lady's maid was a
modest appearing and demur young
person, who seemed to give great salts
faction to the lady, but who never mixed
with the other servants, and was re-
garded by them as supercilious and dis
agreeable. An upper housemaid Of the
lady's household, who especially dis
liked the lady's maid, had for her beau
q very intelligent member of the police
force, and told him of her dislike for
her fellow servant. This lead the Con-
stable to take particular notice of the
privileged maid, and he soc observed
little peculiarities In her manner and
bearing that led him to believe that a
masquerade was in progress, and that,
in fact, s'the maid was a man" The
policeman at once jumped to the con-
clusion that the young man had gained
access to the lady's household for the
purpose of robbery, and WINS biding his
time to levant with the iewelcases. The
officer reported his suspicious and theory
to his superiors, and was instructed to
follow up the case and obtain conclusive
evidence as to the suspected persons
sex. He soon found abundant proof
that his suspicious were correct, and
made haste to inform the lady that the
person whom she had harbored as a con-
fdential maid was in fact a young man.
Tt is stated that the Jealous police
man never felt so cheap and ill-reward-
ed in his life as when ne saw that his
startling intelligence was received with
neither horror nor surprise, o. lei
with thanks. The lady's ann crushed
him with the conviction that he had
told her no news, and that he had done
an exceedingly improper thing in pre-
Stunning to enlighten her concerning the
affairs of her cwn household. He re-
treated abashed. If the detectives
belief Is we'll founded, the motive Of the
lady In conniving at the masquerade is
an enexplicable mystery to all but her
self, and perhaps the maid Il Is
stated that the young man will be PEN
stoned off by the lady's family, on con
dition that he will leave England and
never return.
