\ Good Mare.

George b. CIaSOn. in very quiet kind
Of way, has great taste for horses and
moderately indulges it. He has mare
named Amelia by DeGraff's Alexander,
first dam Ida, by Dick Morgan, by Whip
Clay: second dam Mamie, by Bay Chief,
by Mambrino Chief. She is in foal to St.
Paul By Dictator, sire of Jay Eye See,
and PhallaS. st. Paul'S dam is by Mil
waukee. This is up among the highest
lines of breeding. During the past few
weeks Mr.. ClasOn has been considering
the matter of selling the mare. Hearing
of this. II. ID. Mckinney, secretary of
the Northwestern Association of Trot-
ting and Pacing Horse Breeders, wrote
letter TO the owner in which he pro-
tests most earnestly against disposing
Of her. In his letter Mr.. Mckinney
says: 'If you intend keeping a
brood mare you do a very un-
wise thing to sell Amelia. You
know | broke her TO single harness
after breeding her She is nicely gated.
With as much promise of speed for her
handling as most any young thing /
ever handled, and then she is in foal to
st. Paul, who, in my opinion, is one of
the best bred young horses in the coun-
Try. He is one of the sWeeteSt-tempered
horses j ever saw, and his gait is pure
and just right for the best results in de-
veiopmcnr. Barring accident. he will
In another year surprise you, for he is
not going to stop at 2:30. If he even
has fair chance in the stud, no horse
has license to beat him as transmit
Ter of speed. 1 don't know as you care
about keeplng trotter, but my advice
TO You is don't sell him this year."

Corn, or maize, is the great American
tillage crop. There is no other of half its
area. Wheat has nearly half and cotton
a quarter of its breadth, 1t is sufficient
to cover Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, with q
slice of Iowa in addition. Its area last
year, though reduced by drought, was 81
per cent of that of all cereals together,
and its product was So per cent. 1t is
now grown in every state and territory in
tho Union, though sparingly in those of
high elevations, in the Rocky Mountain
region. The supply as population in
creases is enlarged rather than dimin-
ished. 1t was 25.5 bushels per head in
1850. 20. 6 in 1860, 90. : in 1870 and 81 in
1880
The crop, large as it is, is exported in
small proportion. Only per cent. Of the
production of seventeen years has gone
abroad for market The home market
Is 90 per cent. of all, and it's relative
abundance .r scarcity makes the price.
If scarce, the price is high and foreigners
decline to buy; if low enough to compete
with foreign feeding stutfs a larger guam
tity is exported. Neither Liverpool nor
Chicago makes the price, but the farmers
and country feeders, who use tivesiXths
of all. 1t is crop of which railways
carry but small part. Less than one
fifth crosses state lines. Half is used for
feeding for milk or flesh, tenth for
human food and four. tenths for the food
of working animals, For spirits scarcely
per cent is used.
The prospect for the present year is for
the largest area ever grown of this dis
tinctively American crop. Aside from the
area intended for grain there are millions
Of acres drilled for forage, the silo and
tho summer dairy. No other plant will
produce so much nutritious feed on a
given area No other is worth SO much

PLAN FOR MEASURING HOGS.

"Now," explains the swine breeder, 'if
it fit the entire length, and would give
the animal full score on back, and if the
lower line of the side were straight
would also score full If the ham was
deep. thick and even curve down on to
the hook and square on the back part or
nearly SOY would score full and would take
all parts that were even, round and square
where required and give full score. Now
take the No cut. 1t is almost straight
on the back. but not entirely SO. Score
seven points or cut one point; lower line
not quite so important a part of the hog,
cut one point, although is more off from
straight line than line Of back. The ham
in No. would call good while in No. 2
tho ham is of at least three points, the
dotted lines showing where it is off
the worst. The line of back shows also a
bad measurement. The distance from
back line of No. is four times as much
as on No | would want the heart
measurement as much or more than the
flank measurement. The shoulder |
would want more like No. l. The dotted
line on No ? shows deficiency rs well as
showing by lines that back and lower line
are deficient several points.

Salicylic Acid for Preserving Fruit.

Although the use of salicylic acid in
wines and preserved fruits has been for
hidden in France, yet in Germany and
some other countries it's use is increasing.
In regard to tho quantity eff acid to be
used, DR.. F. Won Heyden, Of Dresden,
recommends for most purposes one drachm
about two teaspoonfuls) of crystallized
acid to every three pounds Of fruit The
jars may also be covered with white paper
soaked in an alcoholic solution of salicylic
acid. In manufactured preserves, mar
malades, etc, two ounces of acid are re-
quired for every hundred weight of pulp.
Raw fruit can be preserved long time
when wrapped in clean, salicylated paper.
The juice of berries or any other kind of
fruit will keep we'll for more than year
if treated with salicylic acid at the rate
of one drachm to three pounds of juice.

The Custom of Putting Blinds ON Horses.

The Custom of Putting Blinds ON Horses.
The custom of putting blinds on horses
indlscriminatcly is great error, says
Col. }. G. Battersby in his treatise on
practical horsemanship Following are
in brief some of the statements made by
him on the use of blinds on horses.
Carriage horses look well in snowy
headgear and handsome blinds are great
Improvement to the style and general ap
peararce of real well set up carriage
horses. But for buggy, cart, car, stage,
wagon, truck and general travel they are
wholly unnecessary, and as regards safety
they are detriment rather than an ad
vantage, Horses, like ourselves, want to
see where they are going, and the horse
that SHES proves that he wants to keep
out of danger by the very fact of his shy
ing. We must consider that a horse
leading an artificial life like ourselves,
walking in the dark in strange place,
don't see what is around him if he has
blinds on, and is, therefore, naturally
timid and careful If horse is too care
full and takes too wide circuit in shying,
it is with the best intentions from his in
stincts But because he does a little too
much he should not be abused. but spoken
to softly and kindly,
A shying horse and a sulky, balky horse
are different. Shying is not vice, it is
more habit than fault There are times
when a shying horse would save life-if
he would only shy at the right time and
place Our course is to chastse or cor
rect horse, if necessary. for aoing
wrong, and encourage him for doing right.
To give horse the advantage of seeing
around him we would use headstall
without blinds But we would make an
exception of the carriage horse, for we
want him for style, park show and excus
able vanity, and to indulge this harmless
ambition we will admit that the carriage
and coupe horse. for this reason, should
have on blinds and let the driver look out
for danger

The Importance OF Ventilation withous

OF all points connected with the plan

important as every one is ready in "a gen
