GRADE DRAFT-RORSES.
PROFESSIONALLY the Most Profitable StocI
IN Rear on

UnquestionabIy the Most Profitable Stock
to Rear on Farms.
The most profitable stock to breed
and rear at the present day is undoubt-
eddy the large farm, the carriage, the
express and dray horse, as our towns
and cities are in great want of them,
and the supply is not near equal to the
demand, nor will it be for years to
come. The average profit in rearing
this special class of horses is much
greater and much more certain than on
any other in the present time. One
reason of this is that the colts are large
and strong enough to be put to work
on the farm at two to two-and-a-half
years old, and can then earn all or per-
haps more than their cost to five years
old, when they become sufficiently ma
tured and hardy for heavy cart and
truck work. They may now be quickly
sold at two hundred dollars to five
hundred dollars each, according to
power, style, action and quality.
Next in average profit is the express
horse of good size and fine action.
After these we may name superior
matched carriage horses, of extra size,
but as it requires more costly stations
not be safely worked on the farm till
three years old or past, they are not
so cheaply reared as the dray
horse Then comes added trouble
in matching them and the extra
expense of training and preparing for
market. Such a sire should be a large,
Well-bred trotter, or very stout COM
plete thoroughbred, perfectly sound,
and superior in every respect save
speed, and for this last quality a third,
or even fourth rate stallion would be
more proper than faster ones; for
horses by these would most likely de-
velop a natural gait in harness of
seven to nine miles per hour over a
moderately level road, and easily keep
this up for hours. This is as fast as
gentlemen want their horses to travel
in double harness, and especially when
ladies and children are in the ear
riage.
The farmers throughout the country
are universally complaining that there
is little or no profit in the production
of grain, vegetables and grass, that
ordinary horses, cattle, swine and
sheep-cxcept of the superior mutton
breeds of the latter-dO not pay for
rearing. Now let them give proper
attention to breeding and rearing
horse stock as recommended above,
and they may then consume much
more of their grass, hay and grain at
home, and realize a considerably in
creased profit in their business and
keep up the fertility of their soil, in
stead of impoverishing it by selling off
their grain, grass and vegetables

Numerous Plans and Specifications for the

A medical paper has new healthpre

PANGs OF AUTHORSHIP.

How One Literary Man Revenged the
Death Of His Fancy's Children.
Nobody but us literary people know
how closely grows the attachment be-
tween the author and his characters.
1t is related of Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe that when, from the pages of
her manuscript she read the death of
little Eva, the entire family sat bathed
in tears, nor could one of them speak a
word, but all mournfully separated,
going to their rooms as though they
had Just attended the funeral of a dear
friend. Some friends met Thackcray
on the street one day and his counte-
nance bore traces of intense grief.
'sWhat is the matter?" they asked. Il
have lust killed Colonel NewcOme, = he
sObbed, bursting into tears, as he
hurried away. Charles Dickens had
the same experience. So did /. Mine
was even more narrowing. When l
wrote my first funny story about Mr..
Bilderback going up on the roof to
shovel off the snow and making an
avalanche of himself and sliding down
into a water barrel, | was almost heart
broken | didn't kill Mr.. Bilderback
myself. All, indeed, l hadn't the heart
to do that. The managing editor,
cOarse-grained, soulless animal, with a
blue pencil a yard long, saw how
felt about it, and he killed him for me.
He also killed all the other dear,
loving, gentle characters in the sketch.
And as l was leaving he remarked
that he would kill me if l ever came
back with any more such stuff. He
meant it, too. People who saw me
coming out of the Office scraping dust
and lint and pine sIivers and gouts of
paste off my back, saw at once by my
grief-stricken face that something had
happened. But l could not tell them
what. Ny poor, bursting heart was
too full

there, while | wept over the death of
Mr.. Bilderback, and the cat, and the
policeman, and the doctor, and Mrs.

and fertile brain, born into that funny
story, registered vow of vengeance

and secured an humble position on his

came his proof reader / used to sit
up until four o'clock in the morning

went into the paper. His appetite
failed in one week. BY the end of the
month his hair began to fall off. His
mental powers began to fail, and one
day, in a special edition, he told the
truth about his daily circulation and
his friends locked him up in the insane
asylum and appointed a CONSERVATION to

HAVE A GARDEN.
An Enjoyment Which No Farmer Should
Deny Himself.

An Enjoyment Which No Farmer Should
Deny Himself
Farmers of all classes should enjoy
the luxuries Of a garden, yet the ma
jority of them do not grow enough
fruit and vegetables for a table supply,
and in some sections they buy them
well as they can produce. There is
quite a difference between fresh vegeta-
bles from the garden and those
handled, bruised and shipped to dis
tances. The farmer who is satisfied to
sit down to his table with pork and
beans as an every day diet simply de-
MES himself the enjoyments which his
calling allows him. As the busy sea-
son of spring sets in, the farmers are
usually too engrossed TO give their at
tention to so small a matter as a garden,
but we can assure them that, insigni6-
cant as a garden may seem, it con-
tains more that adds to the enjoyment
of life on the farm than any thing else
produced upon it. The gardenless
farmer knows nothing of delicacies.
He satisfies himself with very little,
and cOmpels his family TO do the same,
yet IS surprised when his children seek
occupation in the city where they find
more enjoyment and live upon a va
riety of food. The farmer has an adj
vantage over his city brother for en-
ioying Iuxuries. The straw berry, rasp-
berry and all the varieties of fruits
may be placed upon his table daily if
be win have them. but he overlooks
those things that are within his prov
ince. and allows others to enjoy what
he should have in abundance. Farmers.
do not overlook the garden. Devote a
space to the garden even if some
other crop must be sacrificed.-FIGr7n,
Field and St0ctmun.

Major p. J. Eheahan owns, among other
live stock novelties, pet rat. When the
Major starts out to make a social call or
mingle in the maddening crowd the rat
finds a resting place in his overcoat pocket,
where, curled up, it awaits its masters
commands to come forth and furnish
amusement for himself and friends. A
few evenings since the gallant soldier
sailed forth with his pet in its usual
repository The Major unfortunately met
a few military friends, and become in
VOWED in friendly but earnest argument
over the relative merits of Hardee's and
Opton's tactics. Mr.. Sheahan grew so in
terested he forgot all about the rat, and
stood with one gloved hand in the
capacious pocket of his oyercoa&
while q friend illustrated the superb
GRITTY of Hardee by series diagrams,
Presently the Major was seen to turn pale,
whilo his features became distorted with
pain. One arm became contorted, and
in reply to his comrades questions the
Major said he felt the most intense
pains in one armpit and shoulder, which
were gradually increasing. He very much
feared they presaged a paralytic at
tack A physician was hastily summoned,
who stripped off Mr.. Sheahan's coat and
vest, cut open his shirt at the shoulder,
when out jumped the pet rat. 1t had
grown tired of the military discussion
and crept up the Majors sleeve until it's
fun Their progress was barred by the sol
diel's sta1wart shoulder, when it began
eating its way through The bites were
cauterized and the rat given to Deacon
Patrick Murnane, who is authority for
this story.
