who really rides well, obeys orders, and
is honest, the pecuniary rewards are
considerable, says the Mirror Of Ameri-
can sports. A salary of $50 or $1O0 per
month, supplemented by $25 for riding,
$50 for winning a race, with occasional
tips for pulling off a big event, easily
runs up to $1,000 or 81, 600 a year, or
twice the emolument Of an average law
yer, doctor or engineer. and fully up to
the income Of the captain of an ocean
steamer, with his great weight of re-
sponsibility. Great jockeys, of course,
do much better than this. They
are paid like prima dome or fashion
able preachers. But the Jockeys
life has its shadows. His nerve may
fail, when his occupation is gone, for
race horses are often vicious brutes and
very quick to detect a lack of courage
and decision on the part of their riders.
Even worse, when the jockey may be-
gin to take on flesh, when he either be-
comes too heavy to ride or is condemned
to a life of %martyrdom to keep down the
growing co%rpulency. To this forced
wasting may be attributed many short
lives and broken constitutions. Then
there are temptations to drink and ex-
cess, destructive to nerve and brain and
insiduous temptations to dishonesty.
Lastly, there is an eyer present danger
from falls and collisions.

Winter Weather Wisdom.

How We shall warm our houses is not
more important than how warm they
shall be kept. This is readily told. In
the apartment used as a sitting-room see
that the mercury remains about seventy
degrees, rather below than above this.
In the sleeping apartment sixty degrees
is a very comfortable temperature. A
higher degree of heat than this would be
quite admissible where there are young
children.
The ventilation of rooms in which
human beings must remain hours at q
time is a very important matter. Sepa-
rate rooms q only be kept any where
near reasonably ventilated by raising
the window sash one inch from the bot
tom and lowering it a like distance from
the top. By this means the air in the
room is constantly renewed and drafts
are avoided.
The effect of muscular activity on the
production of body heat is well known,
and this makes it appear that an active
habit is the best for the winter season,
which is a fact for more reasons than
III one just gwen.
For winter wear wooden fabrics are
best because of their pliability and of
their lightness as compared with the
weight of cotton fabrics that would at
ford the same protection against the
cold.
The substances to be eaten and
drunk i'll winter should be used hot as
possible and should contain q maximum
amount of fat. Hot milk, beef tea,
chocolate and soups are especially we'll
adapted as foods for winter use, and
now fat fries of oysters, sausage, etc,
are admissible to a greater extent than
at other times. At this season liver
oils, such as that of the cod are very
useful to those who can stomach such

Black Pollod Cattle.

These are fulfilling my predictions,
made in 1872, when I wrote repeated
articles for the agricultural papers and
used my best exertions privately topre-
vail on western ranchmen to introduce
them among their herds, which was
soon done. Now, after some years OF
experience with them on the great plains
and in the Rocky Mountain valleys, they
are found the hardest of all the i'm
proved breeds of cattle tried there.
This may be said more especially of the
Galloways, for their extra-long, thick
coats of hair protect them as well from
fierce winter winter winds and storms
as similar coats have ever done the buff
fato. In addition to this superior hardi-
ness, is the great advantage Of
being without horns. The benefit of
this absence OF the worse than useless
excrescence is bestowed almost uni.
versally on the stock got by these polled
bulls out Of the long-horned Texas
cows. The form of this half breed stock
proves also much superior to that of
their dams, for they mature a year or
two earlier, turn out a finer quality of
beef and are reared and fattened and
transported to market more economical
ly. Then there is the superior safety
in handling them-their milder and
quieter disposition, and the Inability of
goring and hurting each other when
herded toghther, however closely. In
rearing this sort of cattle on the great

larger profit is realized. Indeed. this
advantage has been calculated at 5 to 25
per cent. dependant on the breeds oil
these horned animals being more or less
improved, against which they are pittec
in such trials.-A. B. Allen in n. Y

The Dog Ought to 60.

Professor E. NJ. Shelton has long
dared to maintain that "a dog is a nui-
sance" (even an alleged good" one)
which no careful farmer will tolerate
about his premises. Confirmatory of
this radical assertion he records, in The
Industrialist, the following observation:
"Some days ago we attended a sale,
which included among the offerings
several valuable mich COWS, and a very
bright, intelligent-appearing mongrel
shepherd dog. The owner %expatiated at
length upon the merits of that dog;
how he would drive 'headof,' and
bunch cattle, until we began to think
we were guilty of a hasty generaliza-
ton about dogs. The dog sold for IS.
Shortly afterward we made some in
quiries of one of the attendants about a
graded Jersey COW of considerable val
ne. The young man told US that about
q month before, this COW, when tied to
a fence, had been attacked by the dog,
which bit her severely about the heels,
throwing her into a paroxysm of terror
which caused her to lose her half-grown
calf within an hour. On account of
this abortion the COW sold for about $40
under the average price Of similar cows
sold at this sale. We stand firmly in
our old position on the dog question.

up geraniums and such other bedding
plants as we wish to keep. These
should be potted at once, and the old

make the plant shapely, leaving as many
blooming points as possible. The pots
may then BIZ set in a cold frame, or
