Pittsburg Dispatch.
The lecturer. Prof. John A. Brashear, said
the moon was a dead world; that there was
no atmosphere, nc water, hence there could
not be life of any sort, either human or
animal. The condition of the surface of
the moon. however, proved conclusively
that at some earlier date in it's history it
bad been habitable. The temperature of
the moon never rises above zero Fahrenheit,
but goes as far as 800 below zero, which
was one proof that no atmosphere existed
there. as the moon being SO much nearer
the sun than the earth, would naturally at
tain a greater degree of heat had it the
same atmosphere to retard the process of
radiation that the earth has. The craters
and immense mountains on the surface of
the moon are indescribably grand when
seen by the aid of q large telescope. The
phases and Examinations are identical but
once in nineteen years, making it an ever
changing and charming study to the as
tronomer.

When the Ring Was Lost.

A terrible incident happened at a we'd
ding. that of a couple both OF middle age.
There was a grating just in front of the
altar rails, which led down to the pipes
which heated the building. In his agita-
ton of putting the ring upon the finger of
his bride the unfortunate bridegroom let it
90, and it rolled down the grating. The
clerk descended and hunted for some time.
The ring, however, could not be found.
The poor bride shed copious tears. and the
bridegroom gallantly stanched them as
well as he could with a large red-and-green
handkerchief, murmnriDg ~soothingly:
There, don't zee cry--d0n't zee cry" in the
endearing tone which is often used to a
baby. We are sure We sympathized. but
troll our risible propensities.. A ring had to
be borrowed from one of the officials, and
the brides tears were dried at last.

Blood Counts in the Market.

The highest prices in the public
markets are paid for the blood that is
the most fashionable, and fashion
shapes itself upon the showing of the
records. The recent phenomenal
prices paid for Understandable blood,
and the high fees freely given untried
sires of ultra-fashionable breeding,
have caused many to fear that a boom,
an unhealthy imitation, is prevailing in
the trotting horse business, and that
prices will not stand. We do not think
that the time will ever come when the
cream of trotting blood will not sell
for princely prices. The cream never
bears q very large proportion to the
milk-there is never enough of the
very lest to go around. Fashion
will shift in oaccordance with the
shifting fortunes of the turf, but will
always rest on lines that perform
and produce generation litter genera
ton. The high prices paid for the
service of young and untried sires SIM
ply means that the breeding public be-
lieve that we have reached a point
where we are breeding horses so close
ly and intensely in trotting blood that
their pedigrees are a guarantee that
they will sire trotters. The whole les
son of the records is to stick close to
tested performing and producing-lines,
and the breeder who patronizes young
and untried sires should require Of him
the ability to perform creditably, com
bined with blood on both lines that has
met the test ins the stud. The best
guarantee that a young horse will get
trotters is that he is a trotter himself
and comes from a sire and dam that
wee trotters and producers of trotters.
Using the blood of such a horse is fol-
lowing tested lines. and therein rests
the cornerstone of successful breed
ing. Monthly.

The Mouiting Season.

We have approached the time when
our fowls begin to moult. They have
had a season of rest. and those which
have stored up Material for blood and
feathers will m 1t early. Fowls do
not moult alike, nor do they moult at
the same time annually. Young and
healthy hens fed largely on heterogeneous
food moult early in the season; old
and debilitated hens moult late. Hens
must have the material for making rich
blood and feathers before they shed
their old feathers. If they fail in this
moulting becomes slow. the feathers
drop off in patches, and new ones take
their places by a similar process.
Some hens moult easily, others pass
through a severe drain on the system
and suffer much.
The annual shedding of feathers
usually begins in June and ends in
September. Oftentimes the process is
continued until Christmas, but it is the
old and debilitated hens and those
which have raised late broods that
moult slowly and late in the season.
During moulting the best hens decline
to iay and the post spirited cocks lose
their proud ana defiant locks 1t Ia
The Opelousas courier., 1889-08-03

seldom a hen can furnish eggs and new
feathers at the same time. Nature ex-
acts and provides, but she does not
force any thing beyond its Capable
ties.
During the season of moulting the
fowls should be well supplied with nj
trogenous food; that is, meat or in
sects in place, milk, clover. wheat and
some sulphur mixed with the food.
Such kinds should be fed to the fowls
before they begin to shed feathers, for
the new ones are ready to sprout be-
fore the old are forced from the cells.
There are many who do not give this
subject a thought, caring wheth-
err the moulting fowls are supplied
with nutritious and feather-making
food, never caring whether they are
exposed to cold rains, snow storms or
damp and filthy quarters. During
moulting the males should by sepa-
rated from the females to avoid rough
and useless attentions. The hens
should have extra care and food,
simple and stimulating %tonics, to keep
up their vital powers and strength,
and iron and the Douglas mixture be-
tween times in their drink. Cor. Ohio

Profit in Draft Horses.

Let any one go to the Scat cities
and he will see on their streets the
demand on the breeders of draft horses.
The transfer companies and other de-
mands are enormous for draft horses.
The Iowa Homestead says of this mat
ter: THE Eastern buyers are eagerly
hunting all over the West for the grade
draft horses and paying splendid
prices for them. We are glad to see
agricultural papers giving this year
more recognition of the merits OF the
draft-horse interest and less of the fast
horse folly. 1t is very remarkable that
amid the almost universal depression
in farm products, the n that has
stood firm has been that of horses;
1St all kinds of horses, however, but
the class which the horse-raising pub
lie demands. The plug horse has
been dull sale, and we venture the as
sertion that he will never be in better
demand. Ask any of the Eastern
buyers who may be found at this
season of the year in any county in
Iowa that has been producing draft
horses, and the best are scarce, and it
is difficult to get what they want.
They a scarcely obtain horses of five
Vars old and upward, and not finding
those, will take them at four, three or
two years. The horse that is wanted
is either a horse that can travel,
or a horse that can pull
or a coach horse that has
good action, good size and style and
well matched. We have no hesitation
in saying that the horse that is profit
able to the farmer is the draft. The
farmer has already for farm use the
mares which, when mated properly,
will produce them. He has profitable
work for th0.dam- and, excepting the
service, the price of the colt is nearly
all profit. Where bluegrass has been
introduced the cost of keeping a colt
from weaving til till he is sold is less
than the keep off, steer from weaving
time till he goes to the butcher. -
