HUDSON BAY.



Mediterranean Exposed.
In the month of February last a re-
port was laid before the Parliament of
Canada detailing the results of an ex-
petition dispatched by the Government
of that country particularly for the pur-
pose of inquiring into the nayigability
of Hudson Strait and Bay, and, at
the same time, of gathering informa-
ton concerning the resources of that
region, and its availability as field for
settled habitation. This report repre-
SCENTS the first properly organized at
tempt that has ever been made to
pierce the secrets of Hudson Bay for
the public benefit.
1t is at first blush not easy to under
stand why this mighty eXpanse of
water, occupying the peculiarly i'm
portant position that it does. should re-
main for so many generations COM
paratively uneXplOred, and wholly I'M
utilized, except as hunting ground for
a tew New Bedford whalers, or q
medium of easy communication between
some half-doZen scattered factories of
the Hudson Bay Company. Although
called bay, it is really an inland sea,
1000 miles in length by coo in width,
having thus an area of about 800, 900
square miles, or quite half that of the
Mediterranean. 1t drains an eXpanse
of country spreading out more than
1000 miles from east to west, and 800
from north to south, or an area of
5000 600 square miles. Into its majestic
waters pour feeders which take their
rise in the Rocky Mountains on the
west and in Labrador on the east,
river-roots away below the forty
ninth parallel until they tap the
same lakc-source which sends q
stream into the Gulf of Mexico.
Despite its distance northward, its blue
waves are never bound by lev letters.
and It's broad gateway to the Atlantic is
certainly navigable four months ont Of
the year, and possibly all the year round
to properly equipped steamships. Its
depths abound in linny wealth, from the
mammoth whale to the tiny caplin. Its
shores are serrated by numerous
streams, some navigablc for long dis
tances inland, and all stocked with the
| finest of fresh-water fish, and clothed
as to their banks with valuable timber
ready for the lumbcyman's axe. Its
islands are rich in mineral ore Of many
kinds. The country whose margin its
tides lave is well adapted for tillagc and
pasturage, while all around the region
swarms with animals and birds whose
flesh or fur renders their chase a highly
lucrative employmcnt-J MacdOHatd

IMPORTANCE OF BULK IN Food
Although the presence Of sufficient
quantity OF nutritive matters in food
is naturally the most fuudamentl mat
ter for consideration, its bulk is hardly
less important. The function of diees-
tiOn requires that the food shall proper
ly 6Il the stomach aud however large
the supply of nutritive matters may be,
their effect is imperfectly brought out
if the food be too ANAL ia bulk, and it
actually becomes more valuable il it is
diluted with woody fibre or some other
inert substance. On the other hand, if
food be too bulky the sense of repletion
causes the animal to cease eating long
before it has obtained a sufficient supply
of nutritive matter. It is most neces-
sary, therefore, to study the bulk of
food. and to consider how to mix the
different substances in such a manner
as TO adjust the proportion of nutrit;ve
matter to their bulk. If we examine
the natnre OF the mixed foods most in
vogue among feeders, it will be most
generally found that very bulky food
is combined with another of opposite
properties. Hence roots. the most bull
ky of all foods, are used along with oil.
cake or bean meal and IL from any
circumstances, it becomes necessary to
replace a large amount of roots by the
latter substance, the deficient bulk must
replaced by hay or strsw.-BoSton Her

How TO KEEP BREEDING MARES.
Brood mares are among the most
profitable animals owned by the farmer,
il they are good ones, and bred to good
horses, otherwise, they should not be
kept at all. While admitting that there
are circumstances under which it may
be profitable to keep poor horse, it GER
tainIy never pays to raise one. A brood
mare should be used regularly and kind
ly until the time of her foaling. and
generally both she and her foal will be
the better of it, She should, however,
if so used, be we'll fed, and not have too
mnch corn for some time before foaling,
two months i. possible. She shonld be
loose at night, and, If not used, in the
the daytime also. Mares IN the latter
stages of pregnancy are very liable to be
taken with violent pains, and if loose
they viii generally get relief by rolling.
l have known some cases where loss of
the colt and death of the mare resulted
from her struggles when lied in a stall.
Shortly after the birth OF :he colt, she
may be worked, but not to excess, and
she should not be too much blamed
If she objects to working at this time,
for many very good tempered mares ob.
ject to leaving their young, especially
for the first few times. When the colt
is from four TO six months old, it may be
weanPd. The mare should be carefully
attended TO until her milk dries up. a!
at this time she will be weak, anC
should be we'll fed and kindly treated. =

WINTER QUARTERS FOR STOCK.

The use and value of farm horses are
often greatly reduced by a want OF prop
eI arrangements for stabling them.-
ANY kind of place to crowd the poor
beasts in is often thought to be gooo
enough, and the air in some places is SO
filthy from bad odors that the harness IS
often rotted by it. A horses lungs aho
eyes cannot fail TO suffer in such an at
mosphere. when tanned leather and var
nish are spol.ed. No doubt good deal
of disease among horses is due to THIS.
A hosre sees OH one side only with each
eve. and side light from window
strains the eyes unequally. The light
should come into stable directly before

warm with work will surely I1jure him,
and if it does nothing worse, it will stlt-
/ fen him in few days. A few such
mistakes will ruin any horse.
The american Agric1ttturdttSt, on the
same general subject, says an abundance
! of light ia the shelter provided for stock
in winter is point that should not De
overlooked. for darkness is as injurious
to animals as it is to plants. Human
beings spending much of their time in
dark tenements are pale, sickly, and
dwarfed. CouinIng the lower animals
in dark quarters has a similar effect
retardlng growth and reducing vigor.
Much of the blindness among horses is
caused by their being brought suddenly
out o. a dark stable into the strong Sdn-
light, which is especially trying when 1t
is Fsnpcted from the snow. The open
inps in shelters are closed with boards
or straw, - to keep out the cold" Un-
fortunately this keeps out the light also,
so that a majority OF the stables in this
country are dark for three -fourths oil
the time during which animals are
confined there. This is all right in the
night. but during the daytime the
stable should be as light as dwelling
and made so in the same mauner-by

will not cost much, and a more prolita-

: and no blasts will strike directly o!

improperly called cupolas) with lattic
