Tho discovery OF diamonds In South
Africa was brought about by two Dutch
children, who tossed n diamond in the
air ana caught It. thinking that IL was q
pebble. They were playing the childish
game one DAY in 1857 wnen John
O'Reilly, an interior trader, stopped at
their fathers farm in Griqualand West,
near the Vaal River, to trade for skins,
aud he was attracted by the hepecular clear
ness and trans parency OF the pebble.
He asked one Of the children to show II

them could be found in the river.
O'Reilly accepted the stone as q gift, and
promised that il nc cceedcd in selling
it he would give half Of the proceeds to
Van Niekirk toward the expenses OF
educating the girl, which was the Dutch
farmers greatest desire
| At Hope Town the stone was eXI
amined by many traders, but nobody
supported O'Iteilly in the belief that it
was valuable, its size being too large.

capable authority in Grahamstown, who
said that it was u diamond Of about
twenty-five carats. Some time after
ward Sir Philip Wodehouse, then Gov
crnor of the Cape, bought the diamond
for $4,000. On his return to the Vaal,
O'Reilly gave S1250 to the little girl,
and asked her il she had any more peb

natives to COLLECT Tor him oil the traus

river banks. Sackful after sackful were
examined, but O'Reilly found only on,
more diamond-a four-carat stone.
That is the story of the
discovery of diamonds told by J
Thorburn in the London Graphic. 1
agrees with the authorities in describing
children as the first finders, and it ];
probably true in regard TO details, be

FEEDING TIE COLT.

The future value of the horse, and his
development depend nearly always upon
the start and thrifty growth of the colts
first year. If this is overlooked or ne
elected losses that can never be made up
will have a begi5mng, which the pru-
dent horse raiser build avoid. Some apt
remarks are maze by the Homestead,
touching this matter, which are worthy
the interested attention of all having the
care of colts:
Western farmers have made much adj
yancenent in horse breeding during the
last ten or fifteen years. There are verv
few townships in Illinois and Iowa that
do not contain one or more imported
stations, and Kansas, Nebraska and
other States are fast learning the advan-
tage of weight behind the collar. But
with the advancement in breeding there
has not come proper appreciation, of
advantages of feeding. The man who
pays SIS service fee for colt and
3roughs it through the first year of its
life on So worth of hay and corn stalks
won't grade up his horses very fast. AS
much, ought to be spent for feed the first
year as the service fee cost. Forty,fiy
cents is a high price for oats, too high
