ABOUT HORSE BREEDING.

A nan who breeds a vicious, diseased,
worthless or brokendown mare does q
wrong to both human and equine race,
declares Charles II. Crandall. In like
degree, whoever refuses to let a hue mare
perpetuate her kind also cheats human
kind and horse-kind Of their due. Every
fine mare should be allowed to raise
several colts. She will be just as useful,
in the long run, and live as long. Breed
for a purpose. The heavy draught horse
is well enough in front of a heavy dray,
but the horse is the all-round horse.
Let him weigh $50 to 1900, have sufi-
cient style for a carriage-horse, muscle
and bone enough for blowing and haul
ing, and the spirit and action to trot a
mile inside four or five minutes. For
Northern climates select bred
stock. The horses of Canada. Vermont
and northern New York, with an infusion
of the old Morgan and Hambietonian
blood, cannot be excelled for all.round
horses. Sec that size, symmetry, spirit,
action and intelligence are combined.
Do not place hopes in trotters. Slim is
the chance, with the best stations and
the finest of mares, OF getting q colt that
will trot under 2:30, and unless a colt
trots under 2:30 he will not bring a big
price.-NeU York Tribune.

OIL MEAL FOR HOGS.

One Of the best rations that can be
made up for growing pigs is fifty per
cent. middlings, twenty-five per cent.
corn meal, fifteen per cent. wheat bran
and 10 per cent. oil meal. A brood sow,
especially one that has farrowed, needs a
ration that will aid her to furnish q
large supply of milk. When this is the
case a larger quantity both OF oil meal
and bran should be used, lessening the
quantity of corn meal and middlings.
At this season with stock of all kinds
it is quite an item to furnish a good va
riety. Generally stock of all kinds have
been fed a long time on dry feed, and it
is necessary to furnish as good a ration
as possible. With the brood sows, es-
pecially, good care must be taken to
feed well. In fact, after ~farrowing it is
hard TO feed the SOW too much. The
better the SOW is fed the better the
growth and thrift of the pigs. One Of
the best materials to use at this time is
oil meal. 1t should be used in connec.
ton with bran, middlings, corn meal,
ground oats or some other ground feed.
Oil meal is rich-more so than corn
meal or any of the other materials. It
can be fed dry, thoroughly mixed with
other materials, in tight troughs to avoid
waste. The better plan, however, of
feeding is to mix well and make into a
slop with skim milk, or at least to soak
ituntil soft. The objections to feeding
it dry is that much of the ground feed
will not be thoroughly masticated and,
therefore, will not be digested or assim.
Hated, and this implies moro or less
waste OF food.
To fatten hogs, oil meal can be used to
good advantage with corn. While corn
is one of the very best foods that can be
supplied 10 fattening hogs, better re-
suits can be secured by using some
thing else with it, and oil meal, being
richer and fully as good for fattening,
can be used to good advantage at this
time.
Hogs kept in good condition during
the winter can be. fattened rapidly by
having the run of a clover pasture and
fed literally on corn and oil meal.-St.

The Moon Flower.

Arnold Brinkworth, who owns, per
haps, the finest private botanical %collec-
ton in the country, and whose green
houses near Mount Sterling, Ky, are
filed with the rarest and most delicate
plants Of all nations, is exhibiting with
much pride a specimen Of the feur dc
lune, the existence Of which has often
been doubted, but which was sent Mr..
Brinkworth a few months ago by a friend
residing near Obydos, Brazil. II was
obtained for him from an Indian, who
found 1t growing in 4 swamp In tho
depths OF the Amazonian forests, and is
the only specimen which has ever reached
this country alive. Those who have
been favored by a glimpse of the curios-
'ty say it is a delicate, tenacious vine.
covered with small, glossy leaves of a
bright and very tender green, climbing
to a height of four or Ave feet, bearing
here and there a n,ilk-white blossom of
a disk-like shape.
When the moon is at its first Quarter
a distinct shadow or stain Of a deep vel
low, which seems rather in than out of
the flower, aud corresponding to the
shape OF the moon, makes its appearance
on this disk, and grows as the planet
does, until, when at its full size. the
yellow stain covers the entire flower. Az
the moon begins to wane again this re.
treats in the same ratio, aud finally dis.
appears altogether, to return once more
as the new moon is seen to come back.
When the planet sets the flower closes,
and does not unfold until the moo n ii :
on the following night. 1t pursues this
course month after month, whether
placed in the open air or kept in a hot
house, though under the latter circum-
stances the yellow tint is much paler and
more undecided, while the white surface
takes on a dingy, unhealthy tlngs. The
plant subsists almost entirely on air, its
roots being barely covered with a little
moist gravel. = Cincinnati Commercial

CALVES.

In raising calves for veal the sooner the
young animals are fatted and sufficiently
matured for the purpose the more profit
there will be in it. This will be
accomplished by the natural process of
drawing the milk from the mother
soone than by artificial feeding, and
calves that are allowed to suck their
dams will be preferred by the butcher.
As a matter of profit to the dairymen
the milk will be of more value than the
calf, but to a farmer who has plenty Of
milk and a poor market for 1t it may be
quite different. In this case it is simply
a question Of the best way to fatten the
calf. II nearly all the milk of the COW
is required, then remove the calf as soon
as he has enough and strip the cow clean
at once. Where half Of the milk will be
sufficient the first half will be the least
fattening, and it will be a question for
the owner to decide whether the calf
shall have the first or the last. II should,
however, be remembered that there is
nothing to be gained by limiting the
milk ration Of a calf that is being
fatteued for veal or in attempting to
fatten him on skim milk.-NeD YORK.

DRUNKENNESS IN PARIS.

I'll idea prevalent that there is little OF
no drunkenness in Paris arises from the
French idea of what it is TO be drunk. A
short time ago at IN entertainment given by
one of the public schools of Paris, a member
of the Municipal Council was present to Off.
ciate in distributing prizes. The said official
acted in a manner which led four papers the
next morning to say he was drunk. The
statement was resented aud the newspapers
prosecuted. In the trial it was testified that
the councilman talked incoherently, threat
ened TO turn everybody out-of-doors, said
the school consisted of 500 ~blackguards,
abused the teachers and insulted several wo-
men. But nobody could say he was drunk
mot being physicians, and not having seen
him drink enough to make n man drunk.
Che jury considered it necessary to vindicate
the gentleman's honor by filming each of the
newspapers twenty-five trans (S5l, and de
claring that it had not been proved that he
was drunk" at the same time they recon-
menjed his removal from Office on the ground
that his actions were peculiar. No wonder
drunkenness is rare in Paris, il a man can't
be called drunk except on a medical certif-

PROFIT FRoM TIE DAIRY.

Professor Wood, Of Storr's Station,
Conn, says: ''Nearly one.fourth of the
dairy cows are kept at a loss, while one
third are kept without profit. This
makes one-third Of the money invested
dead capital. In winter, with the best
cows and good feeding, about t~wo-thirds
of the food is consumed in supporting
life. The profit comes from the other
third. Breed is important in a COW, but
is not everything. With good feeding
a slight profit is received. Add one
eighth more aud the profit is doubled.
Judicious feeding does not shorten the
life Of a cow. Give a variety Of food.
Leguminous foods, as peas, clover, etc,
not only benefit cattle but the land"

SHEEP.

Some years ago l used to be much in
terested in sheep, writes V. P. Rich
mond, an Illinois expert, and although l
have given up the farm and the care of
stock, yet l still feel a desire now and
then to write q few words in the interest
Of farmers. Nothing OF the same value
pays a better profit to the farm than
sheep. Pastures will carry more stock
with sheep than without. Weeds do not
grow well within reach of sheep, and Of
course the fewer weeds in a pasture the
better the glass can grow. II is not I'M
usual ia see thin cattle and horses in
weedy pastures. Put in sheen enough
in the same pastures to take care Of the
weeds, and stock, having better grass,
will improve. This is the conclusion

ALCOHOLIC GINGER ryrBRrE1Y.

According to the Philadelphia Times, what
~ calls the ginger habit is becoming a seri-
sss addition TO the ordinary alcoholic intern

.ginger, which contains q large percentage OF
'nicohol, during the past few months has
'been extensively sold by many druggists for
drinking purposes. One physician, DR.. Mac
Cornell, is reported as saying: THE t~incture
OF ginger can be bought for about five cents
an ounce. Ii contains fully n~inety-five per
cent. OF alcohol, SO that in al ounc of ginger
there Is more than two ounces of whisky"
he adds: 'The way it is now being used is
amazing. know a physician, "A man very
prominent in his profession, who died only n

there should be legislation against the indis-

as there is against iudiscriminate sale of
other alcoholic drinks. Added to this legis-

cation of tho Philadelphia public concerning
