The Rapil Walk.

We have known numerous road bred
horses that would walk four and a half
to i've miles an hour without urging,
and many, in fact most, well bred
road horses could be taught to cover
greater distances than this in the same
time if it were not for the custom Of put
ting the colts to the trot as soon as they
are in harness and before they are really
bridlewise. Every farmers boy knows
that he can do better ;ob of work
ploughing, narrowing, or working corn
with fast-walking team, which makes
the dirt fly, than with slow one. The
saving on farm when the horses walk
three miles an hour, or even when they
walk two miles and a half, is twenty
per cent. or in other words, the fast
team can rest whole day in week and
yet do as much work as the slow team
do it easier and do it better. When
work is pressing and weather uncertain,
the fast team is treasure. While every
effort has been made to increase the
speed of the trotter, the draft horse men
have been working for pounds with little
regard either for muscle or walking
speed. 1t is very great mistake to sup
pose that the draft horse cannot be
trained to walk rapidly. We have been
breeding to Pelcheron for four years
that often walks nine miles in one hour
and fifty minutes over hllly road, and
his colts are allrapld walkers. - WaAace's

Differences in Churns.

It is not so much upon the churn as
the person who uses it that the quantity
and quality of the butter depends.
Chrrns vary considerably in effective
ness, which is in proportion to the de-
gree of agitation of the cream in them.
The old fashioned up-and-down churn
will make quite as good and as much
butter as any other, but with greatly
more labor and expenditure of time.
And churns differ mostly in this respect.
: But those who use churns differ very
much more The churung should be
done rapidly in tho churns which are
deficient in the requisite agitatipg action
or concusslon upon tine cream, and it
should be stopped always when the
butter is in small grains. We have used
churns for nearly fifty years, aud have
tried a great many in that time, but
have found no difference in regard TO the
kind of butter made in any when each
has been skillfuily u.ed, but otherwise
there is a great difference. The differ
ence in the time and ease of churning,
however, is very great. The best
modern churn is only one,tenth as hard
to work as the old-fashioned one.-NeU

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.
Economy in Dressmaking.

A New York dressmaker in talking
about her profession, said: 'lf what l
say we're all carefully followed husbands
would not have to pay such heavy dress
makers bills. When dress waists are
past wearing they should be ripped to
pieces. the lining washed and ironed
and all rolled up together and put away
until they are wanted at some future
time. They may be used in variety Of
ways. They may be sewn together
again and worn under jersey, or they
can be cut down for the children to
wear, and then they will always furnish
odd pieces for general repairing. 1t is
always we'll to look over condemned
garments and cut out all pieces in good
condition. They will serve some day
for mending. Always cut off buttons
and buckles and put them in a box as
signed for these articles. Some day they
will furnish you with those little things
that many have to go out and pay ten
cents or Il quarter for"

AGRICULTURAL
TOPICS OF INTER EST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
Feeding Cattle.

In feeding cattle for any purpose, bur
especially for meat. it IS advisable to
separate and classify them. When a
mixed lot a put together the stronger
or the most pugnacious will tyrannlze
over the others, and the weakest Will
not only be driven from its food but ITS
spirit will be so cowed that it will avoid
its companions and pine away to mere
skin and bone. This is the case with
pigs in a pen, and the underlinSs will
avoid the feed trough, even when the
others are not feeding. Horned cattle
injure each other severely, aud even the
stronger lose flesh by their constant at
tacks upon the weaker ones. The true
uient beasts shonld be kept alone, or,
which is best, should be dlshorned and
disarmed of their offensive weapons. The
practice of d shorninG is rapily spread
ing among cattle feeders, who find the
quietness which it insures source OF
considerable profit. Where sheep, pigs,
horses, and cattle are Permitted to run
together losses and injuries cannot be
avoided. -Ne,o York Times.

A Hunter i'm Great Luck.

Jacob Pluff, hunter, living at Hy-
ner's. Clinton county, Penn, had sur
prising adventure with bears while deer
hunting few days ago, within mile OF
his house. He was standing on RIM
way, waiting for the passing of deer
which his dogs had started on the ridge,
when half grown bear came out OF the
scrub oaks only few feet from where
he stood. He forgot about the deer he
was living in wait for and shot the bear.
The deer came bounding toward him as
he was in the act of firing, and the re-
port of the gun turned it in another
direction. Fluff fired his remaining
barrel after the deer, but was too late to
hit it.
The young bear had been killed in its
tracks, but before PluIf could reload his
gun the mother of the young bear, which
had given a peculiar cry as it fell and
died, came tearing out of the brush, and
pausing only long enough TO smell the
dead body of its cub, rushed upon the
hunter. Hc ran around and around two
trees that stood close together where he
had been standing. and the bear pressed
him so closely that he was unable to load
hi, gun, and at last, seeing that hand
to- hand contest was his only chance, he
drew his pocket knife, which had long
keen b'ade, and turning quickly on his
pursuer, buried the blade up to the han.
die between the bears eyes. She at once
turned all her attention to efforts to
knock the knife out with her fore paws.
and while she was thus engaged Plutt
loaded his gun and shot the bear through
the heart.
The appearance of the two bears hav.
ing spoiled the deer hunt for the day,
Plntf started for home to get help in
carrying in the bodies of the two bears.
He had bear trap set near the edge OF
swamp, which was but i short distance
off of his direct course home, and ne
turned in to take look at 1t as he was
passing. He found big he bear fast by
one of its fore paws in the trap, and,
sitting en- its launches, short distance
away, gazing at the efforts OF the old
bear to release itself from the trap and
whining piteously, was another young
bear. rluif put the old bear out of its
misery by sending a rife bail through its
brain, and brought the cub down with
load of buckshot as it was hurrying to
make its escape in the bushes. From the
time of the killing of the first bear to
the bringing down of the last one, Plulf
calculated that not more than twenty-five
minutes elapsed. The four were appar.
emily all members of one family.-NeU

The Nile and the Egyptian Famine.

Egypt is made fruitful not by the rain
fall, for there is none, but by the annual
floods of the Nile, caused by excessive
rains IN the equatorial regions.
1t is known that the river Nile 10 now
unusually low, and has been so during
the summer, so that serious drought
prevails throughout the greater part OF
it's valley. oir Samuel Baker, the emf
nent African explorer, has expressed the
opinion that this is the result of the OBJ
struction and detection of the flow of
water from the Atbara branch, large
tributary which rises in the mountains
of AbYssinia and comes into the main
river from the east, 200 miles below
Khartoum. This gentleman says that
there are places where the Atbara runs
through sterile plains, that it could be
damned up AID the waters turned into
the desert to be swallowed up in the
sands and thirsty earth, until in the
course of time it could dig for itself a
new passage to it's former bed, where it
flows between hills.
Blr. Baker thinks this diversion OF the
river might be occasioned by enormous
RATS and accumulations of drift wood,
or it could be done by the warlike tribes
of that region to cut the waters off from
Egypt. These waters could not, how
ever, be turned out of the Nile basin,
and in the course Of time woHld find
their way back into the lower basin. In
lust such manner he conceives that the
seven years of famine in Egypt during
the time of the l'haraohs, as described
in the book of Genesis, were produced.
The river had been cut of by design or
through the operation of natural causes
and seven years were required for the
waters to find their way through the des.
ert back to the river channel lower
down. The subject is an interesting
one and may explain the sagacity OF
Joseph, the Grand Vizier of Fharaoh.-

Vennarinr Frame Houses.

A construction detail that is gaining
much popularity in some Western cities
is the bricking in of frame houses. The
building is sided up with matched stu!I,
as if complete; then brick face wall,
four inches thick is laid in contact with
the exterior, tied on by spikes about
every sixth cour.e. A boy distributes
them all around on top of the wall.
They are held in the mortar bed ready,
and driven through into the siding until
the heads arc flush with the face OF the
wall, when the next courses are laid, and
so on. The walls present the appearance
of solid masonry, are durable. and, as
they add to the warmth of the build
ings, seem to present substantial recon-
mendations. especially in severe cll'
mates. es.-Americun Builder.
