The French Government authorities
have thoroughly investigated this subject,
and report adversely of the increase Of
size and weight in the Percheron horse
saying that it is carrying the thing to an
unfortunate extreme; for what Is gained
in size is lost in activity, speed, pluck and
endurance. 1t is to be hoped our import
ers will pay attention to this decision,
and go back hereafter to the old style of
medium size, etc. For larger and slower
moving horses, it is better to cross the
borders of France into Flanders for them,
or continue the importation of the Eng
fish Shire and the Scotch Clydesdale.
These last are more suitable for the city
dray, and medium-sized Percherons for
farm and road work. The latter requires
quicker movement in the walk and trot,
and these gaits should not be neglected
in breeding, as much more work is got
from them during the day, while the horse
thus bred is less fatigued by it than those
of slower action. They are hardy, docile,
small consumers of food for their size,
not liable to disease and quite enduring
in fact, perhaps the very best sort OF
horses for the farm, and also for such
road work as teaming and ordinary drlv-
ing, when an extra fast movement is not
repaired, as is the case in the American
trotter.

Movement of Fine Stock

The National Stockman gives the fol-
loving information on this interesting
subject: Americans are liberal import
ers of tinely-bred stock of all varieties
and nearly all standard breeds, and We
are especially free in our purchases from
the United Kingdom, obtaining more
stock from that source than from all
other sources put together. Yet we are
by no means the heaviest customers of
the mother country in this direction.
Last year, for instance, We took only
16 OF per cent. or 1173 head, of the horses
exported from the United Kingdom,
while Holland took 2O49 per cent, Can
ada 2l.7 per cent, and Belgium 24.02 per
cent. For these we paid $297GS per
head, which was higher ACREAGE than
paid by any one of the countries named
except Canada, whose average was $751;
". Of the cattle exported we bought
562 head, which was 20 per cent of the
total, and for which we paid Sl64 80 per
head. Canada imported 26SS PER cent.
of the total, paying therefor $175 80 per
head. The Argentine Republic tops the
list with 81 per cent, and an average
price of $3.50 81. Our aggregate impor-
tation last year were lighter, and the
prizes paid probably lower, than for some
years.

A RECENT dispatch from London says
that the annual epidemic of smallpox IN
Abyssinia has begun, and already carried
off the heir to the throne and three other
members of the royal family of the state
of Shos. If not indigenous to that coun-
try, authorities are agreed that this NAL
ady-now the most widely spread of the
acute Infectious diseases-is perennial in
the Nile basin and the AbyssinIan high
lands. 1t never ceases its ravages in that
REGION, and travellers say that 1t is almost
Impossible to find an Abyssinis without
the marks OF Smallpox. Every inaica-
tscn now points to another pandemic
spread of the disease in this country
similar to that Of 1873. No one, how
ever, need have small poI as matter OF
necessity. Properly performed vsccina-
ton has been demonstrated to be an
efficient protection against what Hirsch
sty les this mUrderous disease disease
which has sacrificed an amount of human
fife besides which the loss through the
bloodiest OF wars or through other severe
psstilence, such a. plague and cholera,
appears to be intellectually email"
With 90 simple and so sure q mode of
prevention as that discovered by Jenner
1t should be considered not less disgrace
full to have an attack of smallpox than it
is to be the victim of certain other diseases
which must be namelsse-

EATERS OF INDIAN HEMP.
How the Hashish Drunkard Carries on De-
bauch ina MethOdical Manner.

How the HashiSh Drunkard Carries on Il De-
bauch ina MethOdical Manner,
Old and experienced hemp-eaters go
very methodicaliy to work. They say
that to relish hemp one must first abstain
from all stimulating food and drink for
brief period; for only after a short fast
can one taste to the full the delights of
hashish and render ones system fully
susce ptible to its influence. So, for sew
eral Gays previous to the "Orgie" the ex-
perienced hemp-eater eats no meat,
drinks neither wine nor spirit, lives main
ly upon vegetable foods, light pastry, and
fruits, and smokes little. On the day of
the debauch he rises very early and fasts
till the afternoon, when the friends who
are to join him arrive. They prepare for
dinner by taking a strongly charged pipe
and inhaling the thick white smoke. A
light meal is then served, in which plenty
of sweet pastry figures, and each of the
company retires to his cushion prepared
for the eveIir X Indulgence. Musicians
are stationed 81 ,2o 5nd of the apartment,
dancing girls are introduced, or if the
host is very wealthy man he orders his
own slaves in. Hemp boluses are passed
around, and the pipes well charged with
the drug. For this purpose tobacco is
charge of pure hashi5h extract is placed,
and the whole is fired by means of glow
ing ember of charcoal and saltpeter which
has been mingled with honey and dried.
Strong aud well sweetened coffee Is hand.
ed round and while the dancing an6 mu-
sic go on as the smokers begin lounging
back they suck the smoke into the lungs
and air passages, sending it forth again
through the widely distended nostrils;
and, gazing upon the forms and faces
posturing and revolving before them, the
hashish swims off in sea of bIissful
centent that verges upon ecstasy. AS
soon as the pipe is exhausted, strong
coffee without sugar is taken, and this
rouses the dreamers from their vision of
delight. But ''bolus" of hemp cake, and
another pipe well charged, stimulates
afresh the escitsd imagination, and sends
them off again into their dreamlands.
The singers chant their love songs, and
the almehs sway in their passionate dane
es. This goes on for hours, fresh pipes
and coffee being passed around at inter
walls, the smokers waking from one
dream only to go off into another. Such
an orgie, indeed, is sometimes protracted
for two or three days. Then lessitude
and exhaustion ensue, and the hashish
experiences a sort of revul5ion against
the drug which lasts for some weeks:
when the longing for it returns. In many
parts-amoDg the Bektaches, for exam.
pIe-there are regular gatherings for
hemp-smoking, just as the Nsairie of
Syria meet on certain days to drink hemp
tea. The poorer classes find opportuni-
ties for indulging in the drug in the So
called ''meshash" or hemp houses. These
are forbidden in most moslem countries.
But though the law may prohibit, it can
not suppress these places.

How to Make a Pig Trough.

A Christian County (Ky.) correspond
ent of the Prairie Farmer tells how he
makes an anti-crowding pig trough. He
says; Il use inch boards and make a
box Il inches wide, OF any convenient
length and heighth. Nail the sides to the
edges of the bottom. and put in the ends
with the graiEs perpendicular, SO that
they will swell sidewise the same as the
bottom when wet, and not allow leakage.
Strips across the top answer to keep the
pigs ont of the trough, but large hogs
break them. To prevent the pigs lying
down in it, place partitions every 10
inches, which should extend from l inch
of the bottom to 1 inch of the top. The
space below the partitions is to make it
less difficult to remove any mud, etc,
that may accumulate. An inch is left
above the partitions for movable covers,
to prevent freezing in cold weather. An
auger-ho)e should be bored in the middle
of each partition. Sink the trough sever
al inches ia the ground to prevent warp
ing when empty.

celery and a tew gherkins. White haicot
beans are excellent with this, also some

the lettuce must be omitted, using more
