Horse Breeding in America.

Fifteen millions OF Horses are now owned in
America. and more than million year must
be bred to keep up the supply The largest
portion OF these are used for agricultural
and heavy draft purposes, and such horses
bring from S175 TO $3.50 each. 1t would be
impossible to breed them If it were not for the
importation Of Percheron horses. Five hundred
stations are now annually imported from
France to the United States. The immense
wealth they are adding to the nation will be
better understood when it Is known that the
first cress of q PercherOn stallion with
native mare doubles the selling value of
the colt when mature. Large numbers
of Percheron stations are exported from the
United States by Canadian breeders to renew
the old French blood so highly priced, and also
TO give quality, style and acti0n to the large
Eoglish Draft and Clydesdale stock which has
been bred there so long. Nearly one hundred
Percheron stations have been sold to Canada
during the past two years by NJ. W. Durham,
"Oaklawn Farm" Wayne, Ill, the greatest i'm
porter Of the French race. who had imported
from France nearly 1000 head. He now has
on hand several hundred Of the finest Percherons
to be found in France, nearly all recorded.

4 Wise Old Ram.

From the Henderson Gold Leaf.l
The most sagacious sheep in North
Carolina is on old ram that belongs to
J. A. Adcock, in Sandy Greek township.
He can not only distinguish the persim-
mon trees from trees of other growth
in the pasture, but has learned how to
get the fruit down from them. This
he does by butting the tree. He gets
off a suitable distance, stands on his
hind legs as if in the attitude of fight
ing, and strikes the tree a vigorous
blow with his head When he has
shaken the persimmons off he quietly
eats them, and goes on his way until
bis appetite demands more. This wise
old ram used to rob the apple trees in
the same way.

Feeding Boxes for Fowls.

There are certain kinds of food which
ought to be offered to the fowls in boxes
or troughs, protected IN such a way
that the fowls cannot get into them,
but simply put their heads through a
wire or wooden paling. Ground bone,
oyster shells, vegetables, meat and all
soft food, ought to be thus presented
and protected. 1t is desirable to do so
both on the score of economy and
cleanliness. If fowls can run over their
soft food, scratch in it, etc, they will re-
fuse it subsequently. Besides, it will
be tracked all about and defle the floor
as well as the feet of the fowls With
grain 1t is quite different; this they will
run for if scattered on the floor or on
the ground, scratch for if necessary
and neither the fowls nor their quarters
will get any harm. Grain may there
fore be scattered broadcast on the floor
of the feeding room in winter and it is
best to do so. We have had good re-
suits by adopting the rule to feed grain
, only SO long as the fowls will run after
! it. This feeding is best done in the
open yard, but when we have wet
weather, or when snow is on the
ground, it must be done on the floor
which should be first swept of. In
close winter weather, laying fowls dc
not get exercise enough; hence it will
make them do little work to get their
grain. Ii the floor be first swept of
and then covered two or three inches
deep with straw cut about two inches
long, few quarts of grain-wheat
buckwheat, barley or oats may be scat
tered over it-and the hens will work
diligently over it for several hours, and

Making n Pot-Pie.

A correspondent of Arthur's Maya

ing to make pot-pie: For years and
years | tried to make pot-pie. How
succeeded is best known to myself and
the washwoman's pig. Never but
once, in all these years, did I have a
pot-pie that was anything like the light,
puffy crust which my mother used to
set or her dinner table, although |
tried various ways. Every time I read
a new recipe for pot-pie, away I'd go
and make one. Just as invariably

but oftener aloud-that I'd never try
again, and I'd hold to my resolve until
some good old farmers wife would
tempt me by her look of honest solidity
and general air of superior wisdom to
ask the oft-repested question:
How do you make pot -pie?"

antonished look over the tops of her

By our path the swinging spider wove her web of

And slyly fastened slender threads from fern to

And crickets rasped their drol rondeau lit by the

Never more she'll come to meet me through the

periods, however, l would be comparatively

My case was a puzzle as much to my physi-
clans as to myself For one Of them at first
prescribed for dellrium tremens, and yet had
never TASTED intoxicating liquors. Another

My mind eventually gave way, and in 1882
was confined 10 the BsttlCboro, Vt, Insane
Asylum for six months. When knew where I
was, demanded instant release. then made

too much on my strength. again lost my

That was IN desperate condition was evil
