HOLINESS at home means a cheerful ming
ling of holy precept and example. To
achieve the highest results for good upon
the home circle these must never be separ-
ated, and especially must never be in con-
fiict. Are there children in the home? Paul
enjoins with reference to the children OF
Christian parents: Bring them up in the
nurture and admonition Of the Lord" This
can only be done by wise union Of right pro.
cept and example.

Hints on Horse Breeding.

In breeding a common mare to a
thoroughbred horse of suitable size
and substance the farmer has all the
chances in his favor. Should the
product be colt he will be useful as
general purpose from his three-year-
old form up to the time he is sold,
and he will be found to have quality
enough for almost any market for
which his size may fit him. Half
bred horses are always in demand at
fairly remunerative prices, and there
is, perhaps, not commodity in the
horse market for which there is
a more continuous demand. Half
bred mares are extremely valuable in
the stud, especially if they are UNDER
sized. One of these can be bred to a
trotting stallion with reasonable
chances of securing fast and lasting
trotter, to a coach horse for the re-
production of his kind in an improved
form, or to the thoroughbred for the
production of the ideal hunter or sad
die hack. Indeed, the thoroughbred
cross is almost sure to give back value
in one shape or another, though the
fOal in its first year may be one of the
most unpromising ever dropped on the
farm. -Cdnadi0n Breeder.

Southern Grasses.

A we'll educated and successful farm
er in Irwin County, Ca, writes; Ihave
for several years given interested at
tention to what l have heard and read
concerning lucern as forage plant,
and although the development Of its
quality has been very slow, and many
efforts at its production in this section
have been almost complete failures, l
have never doubted the great posi-
bilities of the plant as stock food, both
in the green and cured state. l have
always had substantially the same
views as to what was necessary to the
successful production of it as those re-
peatedly put forth editorially in the
columns of The Cultirator.
A correspondent of the Coweta
County Advertiser, published at New
man. Ca, gives this account of lucern
in that vicinity: Many years ago the
father of the writer seeded two acres
with lucern. The plat of ground was
exceedingly rich and adjoined the
horse lot in which ten mules we're fed.
Two hundred pounds were fed to these
ten mules every evening, and at least
FIVE more could have been furnished,
so rapid was the growth. My
father claimed that these two acres
were worth at least one hundred
bushels OF sorn and half supply oil
fodder for ten mules. Many persons
nisnt lucerp for hay. and the ex.

Fall Calving Best.

Prof. Alvord is credited with the
following: Looking over my rec
Ords, l find that with cows of like age
and breeding those which calved in
September and October gave from
800 to 1000 pounds of milk more per
year than those which were fresh in
the spring. also find that the winter
milk is considerably richer than that
made from succulent pasturage of the
spring and early summer, and from
one to two quarts less of it is required
to make pound of butter | esti-
mate that two pounds of butter will
bring as much money in winter as
three pounds in summer. / can also
show that COWS fresh in fall have
longer milking period than spring
COWS, inasmuch as about the time they
would naturally commence to fail the
fresh pasturage comes on and gives
them good send off for the summer. "

perience OF Captain H. ]. Sargent
abundantly justifies trial for this puf'-
pose, for 1t would not be untrue TO say
that he saved at least two tons Of hay
last season from the acre he has south
Of his residence. In Virginia lucern
is grown for green soiling, and always
fed green, except in such cases as ex-
cess of green forage, when 1t is cut and
cured. Lucern can be cut for hay as
often as three times if the season be
favorable; yet it is not advisable to cut
more than twice, as late and too fire.
quent cutting might retard the winter
growth. 1t should never be grazed,
and should have top dressing every
year, about March 1, of land plaster
and superphosphate. 1t will last five
or six years, and Is good for horses,
mules, COWS, and hogs. Try even a
small spot.

New Style in Hospital Building.

A new sort of hospital building is de-
scribed in lie Genie CivI which seems
to have many advantages. The prin-
ciple of construction seems to be the
formation of an iron she'll, to which is
attached wooden lining capable of
being readily removed and replaced.
The lining keeps the room cool in sum-
mer and warm in winter, while steam
and water pipes can be carried through
it, and, by means of a ridge ventilator,
air can be withdrawn from the room at
any desired point by cutting openings
into the space between the two shells.
After being used for a sufficiently long
time, the structure may be taken to
pieces, the iron work sprayed with car
bolic acid and painted, and the wooden
lining-strips disinfected by baking or
by washing with carbolic acid or BIZ
chloride of mercury, after which the
whole can be put together again for
renewed service. The expense of this
complete disinfection is estimated at
3 per cent on the original cost of the
structure, which, in Paris, is about
$500 for each bed, for a twelve-bed
pavilion, including all the iron work,
carpentry, painting and glazing, plumb
ing, gas-ftting and steam heosing. to-
gether with the beds and mattresses.

an Eccentric Rhode Islander who Pre-

They say up in Newport that George
B. Hazard, one of the wealthiest citi-
zens, is a crank. No one has ever ac-
cused him of being fool He made
a big fortune in business and he has
it yet He appears to have some
original ideas as to the proper employ
ment of the half-million dollars he
possesses. He has begun by giving
for nominal consideration dwelling
houses to several poor but worthy
residents of the city. He has given
clear deeds of the property, taking
mortgages for the amount of what
the rents of the property would come
to in ten years, the parties having per-
mission to sell or otherwise dispose of
the property in the meantime il they
find it to their advantage to do so, and
they can pay the mortgage at any time
they see fit. Hazard has many other
houses to dispose of in the same way,
and he doesn't propose to have any
wrangling over his property after
death. He has been in considerable
legal and other difficulties, and recent
ly was sent to Jail for six months for as
sault, and, later on, he had a two
thousand dollar Judgment rendered
against him in civil suit for the same
assault, which he refused to pay, and
was taken to Jail, where he remained
until he decided to pay it.
Since his release the jailor lost his
position, and Hazard has now come
forward and provided him with large
house free of rent. He gave valua-
bic block on one of Viewpoints prin-
cipal business streets to one OF TIE

costing 800 per acre has convinced
him that certain yield of 800 bushels

The forage of the farm fed upon
the farm to neat stock, and this stock
consisting of good dairy cows, proper
precaution being taken and arrange
ments made to make the most dressing
for the farm out of its hay crop and
then saving it after it is made, is the
best disposal that can be made of the
fodder crop the farm produces.
