others hold to the opinion that with the

such exports are altogether prob

thateif such shipments are INDUCED in

Closely following and having very nearly
the same per capita are: Belgium, 500;
Australia, S26.06; the United States,
S2G.02, and the Netherlands, S24.0.
In China, country having population
of 402, ,70O, 900, the masses apparently do
not have much money TO handle, for the
per capita circulation is but s1.So all in

Near the old courthouse in Poughkeepsie
there stood years ago tavern kept by a
Mr. Hatch. 1t was no uncommon thing to
see 1.-THE court" jury, counsel, sheriff, con
stables, prisoners and all adjourned to Mr..
Hatch's bar for drinks. On one of these
social occasions the prisoner, horse thief,
slipped away from his constables. When
the judge resumed his seat, the fact was
made known to him. AT first he said moth
ing, but appeared to be in deep thought.
Finally he arose, and with more than his
usual gravity delivered himself as follows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE JURy-I am told that the
prisoner has informally taken leave of the
court and gone, the sheriff knows not whittier.
This gives the case before you a more per-
picked phase, as the statutes distinctly pro-
vide that the prisoner shall at no time during
trial, sentence or punishment absent himself
from the officers of the law. Therefore it only
remains for me to say that further prosecu-
ton in this case must be postponed until the
return of the id scoundrel who has thus in
formally trifed with the dignity Of the court
and the people of the state of New York.

THE CARE OF HORSES.

Prof. Pritchard, in the series of lectures
on "The Care OF Horses in England, !"
described the structure and various
parts OF the horse at great length, and
in the course OF his remarks, said to
have healthy supply of digestion.
Ignorance was mainly the cause OF many
cases OF sickness in horses. Animals
who eat hard food like beans, hay and
grass must necessarily have teeth like a
living milestone, because OF the hard
nature of their food. The man who eats
too rapidly gradually ruins his digestion,
and the same applies to the horse. 1t
was also mistake to drink while feed
ing, although it was common practice.
Oates were preferable to barley for
horses, because an excess OF barley had
a tendency to denude the skin of the
hair, and was best left alone. This was
seen when horses Of the British troops
came home from the Crimea. Horses
should be fed not more than four times
a day and animals who were fed regu-
larly and at proper times rarely become
ravenous. This was seen in the care
fully-trained race horse.

The Size of RaindrODs.

How large is drop of rain? Probably
most people have a notion that raindrops
are nearly all of one size, although it is
matter of common observation that in
what is called misty rain, or drizzle,
the individual drops are very small. The
question of the size of raindrops is not so
unimportant as might be supposed, and
Mr.. f. j. Lowe has collected many facts
bearing upon it, and presented them to
the Royal Meteorological society.
He employed in his experiments sheets
of slate, made in book form so as to be
readily closed, and ruled in inch squares.
The impressions of the drops were caught
on the slate and afterward carefully copied
on paper.
He discovered that the size of raindrops
varies from speCk so small as to be almost
|, invisible up 10 diameter of two inches.
Every reader has probably noticed that
the raindrops preceding a thunderstorm
frequently assume gigantic proportions.
though he may not have suspected that
they could ever attain so great size as
Mr.. Lowe has discovered that they do.
Other interesting facts about raMdrops
which have been brought out by Mr. loves
experiments are that drops of the same
size donot always contain the same amount
of water, and that some of the largest drops
are hollow Youths Companion.

THE PROFITABLE DAIRY COW.

One very common mistake with dairy
men is to reckon the value OF COW by
her yearly yield OF milk or butter.
perhaps, as a general rule, such a
standard would more often be right
than wrong, but at the same time it
very often proves false standard. At
the Pennsylvania experiment station
some very elaborate experiments were
carried out, testing the profit OF cows in
milk and butter making, All the food
was carefully weighed and charged.
Marguerite produced 6,5l2 pounds Of
milk and 296 pounds of butter, while
Ramona produced 5,459 pounds OF milk
and 279 pounds OF butter. Ordinarily
the dairyman would pronounce Margue-
rite the better COW Of the two, but ac-
counts had been kept with them, and
it was found, at the end of the year, that
Marguerite had made profit of only
$3l 80, while Ramona returned clear
profit OF S6l.50.
All COWS have what is called normal
appetite; that is, they will consume
food up to certain point, with return
in the pail of profit, but all fed beyond
that amount is not only lost, but actually
Injuries the COW. Every man who handles
COWS should test each one for at least a
week during the fourth month from
calving, and by using scales on the feed
and Babcock test on the milk. find out
where the normal limit of each COW
stands. Once testing will probably last
the cows lifetime. This individual test
ing is particularly valuable, owing to the
remarkable variation in the appetites
and assimilating powers of different
cows.
The writer once owned two Jerseys
One was the largest COW, the largest
eater, and the smallest mixer; while
the other was the smallest COW, the
smallest eater, and the largest mixer in
the herd. Another COW was the fattest
and among the smallest mixers, but sc
steady was her flow from end to end o
the season that she averaged when the
years figures were summed up. One o
the interesting features OF dairying il
finding out these queer creatures, to say
nothing OF the black sheep you find il

PRUNING APPLE TREES.

In order that apple trees may be kept
thrifty and productive it is necessary
that they be subjected to an occasional
pruning. If left to themselves they will
form too much wood and produce too
little fruit. This fact is generally recog-
nized in theory, and there are many
farms upon which it is an invariable
rule to prune the apple trees each spring.
There are many other farms upon which
the work is done only at long intervals.
1t not infrequently happens that,
though it is done with the best of inten-
tions, the pruning proves serious injury
to the trees. This occurs when the
work is improperly performed. The
workman sometimes shows more zeal
than wisdom" and by doing too much
in the way OF removing branches, leaves
the tree in far worse condition than it
was when he commenced operations.
This is especially true in the cases OF
trees which have long been neglected.
In order to bring such trees into proper
form it is necessary to remove considera-

Pain Enduring Animals.

The manner in which animals and birds
endure pain should awaken the sympathy
of all thinking people. Horses in battle
furnish striking example of this power
of endurance. After the first singing pain
is felt they make no sound but bear it
with mute wondering endurance, and
when in the silence of the night groan
comes from the battlefield it is because of
lonelness-the craving for human COM
panionship which is SO necessary to once
domesticated animals.
A dog will go for days with a broken
leg without complaint, but the pleading
wistful look would attract attention from
any one not totally blind to all sensibility
A cat, wounded by stick or stone, or
caught i'll some trap from which it has
either gnawed or pulled its way, will
crawl to some quiet ont of the way place
and endure silently agony which we could
not endure.
Cattle will meet the thrust of the butch
er's knife without a sound. The wild dove
with shot from the hunters gun burning
in it's tender flesh will fly to some high
and no sound will be heard save the drip
ping of blood upon the leaves.
The stricken deer will speed to some
thick wood and there in pitiful submis-
sion await the end.
The eagle stricken in high air will strug-
gle to the last, but there will be no sound
of pain, and the proud, defiant look will
not leave the eyes until the lids close over
them and shut out the sunlight they loved
so well.-New York Herald

POULTRY MANURE.

some may Unlnk tnat tnlS article
should appear in. the poultry columns,
but we don't think so. Many farmers
keep fowls, who, unwisely for them
selves, do not study our poultry pages,
but yet their poultry produce manure,
which is generally practically wasted.
1t is well worth while to save the poul-
try manure and look after it so as to
prevent its being spoilt. Chemists tell
us that every ton of fowl excrement con-
tains 120 lbs of lime, 60 OF potash, 80 OF
nitrogen, SO of magnesia, 80 of sulphuric
and 20 OF phosphoric acid. This should
be sufficient to convince a farmer that
it is valuable. Everyone who has ever
tried it in its proper form, knows this
well enough. His own senses and OBJ
servation, and the tangible results of
the crop to which it is applied, prove
this beyond doubt. The trouble is
(remarks believer in this fertilizer)
that farmers generally have too little of
it to amount to much. But most OF
them might have great deal more than
they do, il only they would take due
pains to keep it dry, and increase its
bulk by the frequent addition OF dry
earth or rich vegetable mould. The
floors of all poultry houses should be
dry all the time, and every day or two
the fresh dIoppings from the roosts
should be covered over with half rotted
leaf mould, to absorb the moist parts
and prevent the loss OF rich volatile ele-
ments. Once in a while, say once a
month, the whole mass of droppings and
mould together should be broken up with
hoe and thoroughly mixed, and after
being levelled under the roosts, or put
away on dry floor, should be immedi-
ately covered with mould or powdered
gypsum. 1t is best perhaps, to remove
the droppings OF each week to dry floor
in some clubhouse where it can be worked
over and made fine, and then mixed
with dry mould or rich earth, or else dry
dust from road. A sprinkle OF gypsum
over all will help retain the ammonia,
and otherwise improve it. In no case,
unless to be used Immediately, ever mix
ashes with poultry manure, or with any
other form of animal manure. Nor
should the poultry manure be allowed to
get wet, either before or after being
mixed with the mould.
Ii the poultry houses do not leak, and
the floors keep dry in winter, it will be
sufficient to add the mould where the
manure is dropped, and let all remain
till it is wanted for the field. Enough
mould should be put along under the
roosts every few days to absorb all the
liquid elements OF the manure and keep
the whole mass dry and powdery; in
this form it will be better to handle
and will lose less of its gaseous elements
This form of poultry manure is an ad
mirable fertilizer for potatoes, maize
and most garden crops; also tobacco
sugar cane and mangolds. Four dozer
hens should yield enough droppings ir
