A Scene of Beauty in Cloudland.

"Oh, look at the ship in the sky"
cried little maiden of perhaps ten
summers, who stood beside her parents
on the unfinished end of the sea wall
Yesterday afternoon. Her remark
caused not only her parents to glance
in the direction in which she pointed
with her hand, but several of the near
est bystandcrs. just over the Berkeley
hills novel and beautiful sight was
presented. Outlined against the blue
hills was the representation of a large
three-masted ship, fully rugged and in
every detail perfect. She was upright,
and appeared to be just ready to start
on voyage through cloudland. The
lower part of the hull was somewhat
indistinct, but the masts, spars, and
every rope was as clean cut and as plain
to the eye as was the tackle of any YES
sci riding at anchor upon the bay. The
beholders uttered EXPLANATIONS of de-
light and admiration, and there was
soon very large assemblage on the
wharf viewing the mirage.
The sight was peculiar in one way.
The point from which it was first seen
was the best point of vantage, and by
moving about twenty feet from the spot
the vision was lost to sight. For fully
fifteen minutes the atmospherical APP
partition maintained it's position in all
its perfection. 1t then began to fade
slowly The hull disappeared almost
entirely before the rigging became in
distinct At last the latter, too, grew
hazy, and in very short time the sky
was clear.-San Francisco Call.

HOW TO BUY A HORSE.

An old Horseman says: If you want
to buy horse don't believe your own
brother. Take no mans word for it.
Your eye is your market. Don't buy
horse in harness. Unhitch him and
take everything off but the halter and
lead him around. If he has corn, or
stiff, or has any other failing you can
see it. Let him go by himself way,
and if he slaves right into anything
you know he is blind. No matter how
clear and bright his eyes are he can't
see any more than a bat Back him,
too. Some horses show their weak
ness at tricks in that way when they
don't at any other. But, be as smart
as you can. you'll get caught some
times. Even an expert gets stuck A
horse may look ever so nice and 90 a
great ways and yet have fits There
isn't a man could tell it till something
happens. Or he may have weak
back. Give him the whip and off he
goes for mile or two; then al of q
sudden he stops in the road. After a
rest he starts again. but he soon stops
for good. and nothing but derrick
could move him.
The weak points of horse can be
better discovered while standing than
while moving. If he is sound he will
stand firmly and squarely on his limbs
without moving them, feet flatly upon
the ground, with legs plump and natur-
ally poised; or, if the foot is lifted off
the ground and the weight taken from
it, disease may be suspected, or at least
tenderness, which is a precursor of dis
ease. If the horse stands with his feet
spread apart or straddleS with his hind
legs there is a weakness in the lofns
and the kidneys are disordered. Heavy
pulling bends the knees. Blush, milky
cast of eyes in horses indicates moon
blindness or something else. A bad
tempered one keeps his ears thrown
back. A kicking horse is apt to have
SCARED legs. A stumbling horse has
blemished knees. When the skin is
rough and harsh and does not move
to the touch the horse is heavy eater
and digestion is bad. Never buy
horse whose breathing organs are at all

HORSES TO BE wATERED BEFORE FED
Bearing in mind that the stomach Of
a horse is small in proportion to the
size of his frame, he requires feeding
often, and, though three times day is
sufficient, four times is better. Unlike
human beings, horses should drink be-
fore they eat, because, owing to the
confirmation of the horse, water does
not remain in the stomach, but passes
through it into large intestine called
the cacum. If the horse be fed first,
the water passing through the stom-
ach would be likely to carry with it
particles of food, and thus bringing
about collie. Whatever a groom may
say, let horse drink just as much as
he likes. If he be watered four times
day he will never take very much or
too much to be good for him. A horse,
it must be remembered, is fed on dry
food, and this, with the strong work
done by hunter, always pro-
duces feverishness, which a sufficien-
cy of water tends to allay.

EXPERIMENTS IN CoRN-GRow1Ns.

A Michigan farmer who wished to
find the best way prepared two pieces
of land, of like size and soil, BY top
dressing one and plowing-under in the
other an equal quantity of well-rotted
barnyard manure. Both plats were
planted with corn, and the same care
was given to each. The result is thus re-
ported: ''In October the corn was
husked and weighed. Allowing seventy
pounds in the ear per bushel, the sur
face-manured plot produced Is $50
bushels per acre. The one with the
manure plowed under produced "A 81
20 bushel, yielding within fraction of
nine bushels the most. conclude the
old practice of plowing under manure
is good one, for this season at least.
One thing in regard to the growth of
the two plots surprised me very much,
and that was that all the first Of the
season, until the plants were from
eighteen inches to two feet high, the
plot where the manure was covered
was very much in advance and looked

THE BREEDERS CAPITAL.

A very important part ofthe capital of
the professional breeder consists of the
reputation he has won by some form OF
advertising. One who has such a rep
utation or has the skill, determination,
and money necessary for its establish
ment can well afford to pay thousands
average farmer could scarcely afford to
give hundreds. Want of due consider
alton for this fact has led TO no little
disappointment. Men have paid high
figures for fine stock, have given them
and their progeny the best possible
care, have in consequence been able to
offer at public sale or privately animals
of the best character, and have been
disguised because after all their efforts
they have seen stock not as good sell
for more money than they could get.
The records of public sales of cattle in
this country furnish ample evidence of
the truth of this, but this is. after all,
only evidence of the truth that in these
days he who has anything to sell must
make the fact widely known if he would
not accept whatever price the buyer
sees fit to offer.
Ii the breeder raises stock for the
butcher it will pay him to give reason
able price for pure-bred sire; and so,
too, if he is raising cows for the dairy
or sheep for their wool. 1t will not
paw him to give such high price for
such an animal unless he can sell its
offspring for correspondingly high
rates. This he cannot do unless he
uses the same means as professional
breeders adopt for creating wide and
strong interest in their offerings. For
tunately it is by no means necessary to
pay what are perhaps justly character
lied as '.fancy" figures for animals
that will effect great improvement in
the common stock of the country.
Many remarkably good animals can be
found in the herds or the flocks of non
professional breeders, and as a rule
these may be bought at prices that
make the investment safe and profit
able, even when there is no sale of
their progeny at high figures, for breed
ing purposes.

GoPHERs AND MoLEs IN ORCHARDS.

A correspondent of San Francisco
paper writes: If a patent could be Sc
cured for the effectual expulsion of
gophers from orchards the patentee
would be likely to realize a fortune
thereby. And yet the plan is within
the reach of all. While pruning the
orchard of S. b. Marcus, who lives
few miles east of Watsonville, / was
struck with the thrifty appearance of
the trees and the total absence of any
sign of gophers. On inquiry, Mr.. Mar
Gus informed me that few years since
the gophers were very numerous in
the orchard, and made sad havoc
among the trees, nearly destroying
them. Having previously observed
that the ground mole would not work
in or near manure heaps, he caa,e to
the conclusion that manure placed
about the roots of his trees might pos
sibly prevent the depredations OF the
gopher. The result more than met his
expectations. Sine he has commenced
putting more manure about the roots of
his trees not gopher has been S en-,
nor even the sign of one; besides, the
trees have been greatly benefited by
this manuring. Mr.. Marcus says he
simply digs away the soil from
the trees, and places few forks
full of stable manure around the
trunks of the trees and covers it over
with the soil If there is more manure
than can be conveniently covered, he
spreads it about the trunk of the tree.
By this simple device he has not only
driven these pests from his orchard but
greatly benefited it by enriching the
soil. MIR. Marcus deserves gold med
al for making this discovery. And it
affords me much pleasure to be able to
give it through the columns of your
widely extended journal. which l find
in nearly every household where so.

as though 1t would be the best by two
to one."
An attempt was made to determine
how large the top must be before the
roots reached manure covered six to
eight inches deep:
when the corn was two inches high
with two open leaves, the roots were
found to have penetrated the depth of
six to nine inches, thus refuting
the assertion of the advocates OF
surface manure plowed under is lost TO
the growing corn crop because the
roots cannot reach it until late in the
season"
Mr.. Eugh proposes repeating his ex-
periments this year, since he realizes
that the results of single experiment
are not conclusive evidence. 1t is in
the power of every intelligent farmer
to carry out in farming operations ex-
periments any one of which may be of
incalculable value through the knowl-
edge of improved processes that may
