thorough grooming is that the health
Of the horse requires that the pores OF
the skin be kept open by removing
dust and secretions, and that both skin
and muscles be rubbed to replace the
natural muscular movements which
the stabling and work prevent. The
good results of careful grooming are
so apparent that a person with the
healthy skin which follows from
proper bathing, rubbing and feeding,
is said to be we'll groomed.
Muddy legs and manure stains may
be washed off with warm water, being
careful to rub the hair and skin dry
Immediately. In warm weather it is
good plan to give the horse an oc-
easional bath all over, and then rub
him dry, so that he does not chill and
catch cold. The working farm
horse should be groomed three times
a day. At noon the harness should be
removed ard the face and sweaty
places rubbed with soft STRAW or hay,
At night the shoulders, the back and
the muddy legs should be washed
off with warm water and rubbed
dry. Then and also in the morning
he should be rubbed all over with the
brush and cloth or straw, using the
currycomb to remove dirt from tho
hair, and to clean the brush. Cleanli-
ness pays. Dice, McLsren, in Farm,

THE BEST BREED OF FOWLS.

The question of which is the best
breed of fowls narrows down to this (:
What fowl do you like bestP Which
style and color takes your eyer Can
you give the proper housing and care
that the tenderer breeds require ?
Will you have to subject your fowls
to just ordinary houses and care? Tho
breed one fancies most will in the
majority of cases re5eive the best care,
which naturally results in the most
profit. If one prefers fine feathers
and a beautiful form and carriage
rather than strictly economic fowl,
there are many bIBeds from which to
make a selection. II a general pur-
pose fowl is want I'd, the list to select
from was never SO long as it is to-day.
If beauty and Utility combined are
wanted, there are several breeds to
select from, either one of which should
satisfy any reasonable person. There
is much truth in the saying, "feed
makes the breed" The best breed in
the world, whichever one may be so
considered by the owner, will be a
failure and disappointment if kept
under unfavorable conditions and in
judiciously fed. therefore we would
add to the above, A'ieed and care make
the breed" We do not know of any
breed which with proper care and feed
will not piove reasonably profitable
both in pleasure and money. In
making selection ote's circumstances
and surroundings should be taken into
account; where one breed would be
perfectly hardy and thrive well,
another breed would not do at all well.
Therefore it behoeves one to guard
against letting a sudden fancy run
away with good judgment.
Those who are Just considering the
subject, I would earnestly advise
taking plenty of time to look the field
over thoroughly before making up
their minds. One is apt to be favor
ably impressed with the appearance
of a certain breed, which after due
thought would be rejected for good
and sufficient reason, whereas II on
the first impulse it bad been bought,
i. would prove a disappointment and
enteil n loss. Those who are contin-
ielly changing the breed very seldom
are satisfied with anything and usually
end by giving the whole up in disgust.

The Brazilian Anaconda.

The late Mr.. Bates, in his eleven
years spent in the Brazilian forests,
saw aud heard more Of the habits Of
the anaconda than most travellers,
though, like othor great serpents, the
individuals OF this species are so little
common that their appearance in any
one district is too infrequent TO make
n special study of their habits part OF
the days work of busy naturalist.
Bates's first personal experience Of the
creature shows how impossible it is Go
avoid the python by the ordinary
means OF isolation sufficient TO keep
other dangerous creatures at dis
lance. He was at anchor, in large
boat, in deep water, in the port OF
Antonio Malagueita.
An anaconda swan out to the boat,
lifted its head from the water, broke
in the side of fowlhouse on deck, aud
carried Off a couple Of fowls. II was
found that this snake had been steal
ing ducks and fowls from this part of
the river for months, so a hunt was
organized, miles of river bank were
searched, and the serpent at last found
summing itself in q muddy creek and
killed. It was mot large specimen,
only eighteen feet nine inches long"
But Mr.. Bates measured skins OF ana
condes which were twenty-one feet in
length aud two feet in girth, and he
adds: ''There can be no doubt that
this formidable serpent grows to an
enormous bulk, and lives 60 great
age, for I have heard of specimens
having been killed which measured
fortytwo feet in length, or double the
size of the largest which / had the OPP
portunity of examining" We must
add correction here. They were
double the length; but the siEe of
these great reptiles, like that of fish,
increases enormously with every addi-
tion in longitudinal growth.
A snake OF twenty feet in length
would be probably four times the
weight Of one ten feet long, and the
bulk of n forty-foot anaconda would
approach that of the largest crocodile.
Since the publication of "The Natura-
lists Voyage on the Amazons" an ana
conda Of twenty feet has been brought
to the Natural History Museum at
South Kensington. A neighbor of
Bates, in Brazil, nearly lost his ten.
year-old son by the attack of an ana-
conda. He had left the boy in his
boat while he went to gather fruit, and
on his return found him enoircled by
the snake, Whose jaws the father seized,
and actually tore them asunder. The

Healthy Bank Notes.

The Bank of England never reis.
sues a note. Every bill passed over
its counter from the inside is crisp
and new, free from bacteria, bacilli,
microbes or any other disease germs.
A London newspaper states that even
If customer should draw a check,
receiving these new bill, and then de-
eide that he preferred coin, the man
in charge of this department would
take the notes, tear corner from
each, and pass over the gold. The
bills are then burned without cere-
mony.
The Bank of Frence also issues only
new notes, but for fourteen years il
has turned the old ones into pulp in
stead of burning them. 1t takes about
twenty-four hours TO transform them
into blaclSlsh pulp, useful only for
the backs of ledgers or cardboard of
low quality. AS a sanitary measure
this destruction is probably wise, and
in the end may be even economical.
Some of our American bank notes
take on aD alarmingly unhealthy look
before they get into the furnace. -

cURRyMa HORSES.

The horse is a very eleanly animal,
and If lac is not running in the fields
where he can roll Gnd rub, his hair
and skin should be thoroughly cleaned
every day to keep him in good health
ard condition. Mud and manure
should be rubbed off with a handful
of straw or hay, and the wet hair
wiped dry with other clean handfuls.
Then the whole skin should be gone
over with a currycomb having fine,
round, pointed teeth, followed by a
good, clean brush. Straw and DIRT
should DO uutanGled from the name
and tail with the fingers. Cards pull
out too much hair, though a good,
blunt-toothed steel comb may be care
fully used. The most of the cleaning
should bo done with the brush,
especially around the head and leg
bones, being careful that the brush OF
dust does not get into his eyes. Then
tho whole body should be wiped Will

the resulting smooth coat of the horse
will well repay such daily care.

GROWING ONIONS FROM SETS.

Onion sets are the small bulbs pro-
duoed from late-sown seed on poor
land and taken up in the fall and
dried. They are planted on rich land
in the spring in rows twelve inches
apart, and three inches apart in the
rows, requiring about twenty.four
bushels to the acre The plants grow
quickly and make marketable onions
by July or August. 1t is necessary to
watch the crop, and when the swollen
seed stems appear these are twisted
and broken down to prevent the forma-
tion of blossoms, by which the growth
OF the bulb will be checked. Onions
may be kept quite safely if thoroughly
dried and stored in dry, cool place,
and If frozen in the winter will not
take any harm if kept in that condi-
tion and thawed gradually in the
spring. New York Times.

How Hunters Can Avoid Accidents.

A correspondent of the American
Field sends that paper the following
rules, which, il carefully observed by
those carrying weapons, will avoid
many sad accidents.
First-Never, under any clrcum-
stances, point your gun toward hui
man being.
Second-Never carry il so that il it
we're accidently discharged it would
even endanger the life Of dog.
Third-Always think which way
your gun is pointed, and if compan-
ion is in the field with you, no matter
how near or how tempting the game
appears, do not shoot until you know
where he is; stray shot may be suf-
ficient to destroy an eye forever.
Fourth-Never carry a loaded gun
IN wagon.
Fifth-Never carry a loaded gun
over fence; put it through and then
get over
Sixth-Always carry gun at half
cock; il a breechloader, never let the
hammers rest on the plungers.
Seventh-Never get in front of a
gun; if you are falling drop it so that
the muzzle will be from you.
Eighth-If the cartridge sticks the
stout blade of a knife will probably
extract it; if not, take out the other
cartridge, cut straight stick and poke
it out from abe muzzle; even then do
not get in front of gun.
Ninth-After firing one barrel take
the cartridge out of the other and ex-
anime the wad to see that it is not
loosened, as it sometimes is after
heavy recoil, for, should it get up into
the barrel, it is liable to burst the gun.
Tenth--Never take hold Of the muz-
ale of gun to draw it toward you.
Eleventh-Never set gun up so that
II it should fall the muzzle would be
toward you.
Twelfth-Never keep loaded gun
in the house.
Follow all these rules, be self-pos-
Sessed and the fields will afford you
sport without danger.

BREEDING UP STOCK

When engaged in breeding up ma
tive stock to some one of the improved
varieties, there should be a definite
point aimed at from the first. This
must be adhered to, or the stock will
soon become entirely unreliable for
breeding. Our native animals are of
no particular breed, but if good speci-
mems of their kind, they are better to
breed from than half-bred or three
quarter animal of some other
strain. For example, if you are
breeding from a Holstein bull for
milk or butter, half blood of short
horn or Jersey or Guernsey will not
give as good results as will first rate
native COW. In the former case there
is prepotency on both sides and the
offspring will be widely variant. With
native COW and thoroughbred bull
OF any kind, the prepotency is all in
the same line. If the breeding is con-
tinued further the same strain of
breed should be used as at first. The
established breeds are all too firmly
established to be crossed more than
once with any certainty that the
breeding will perpetuate the desirable
qualities on either side of the house.

CARE OF THE RASPBERRY.

II the old wood of the raspberry
bushes has not already been cut out,
leaving only the last summer growth,
it should be done now. The long
canes should be cut back. Tender
varieties can all be bent over one way
and weighted down or pegged down
and covered with three or four inches
of soil. After freezing weather is
over in the spring the vines should be
loosely tied to single stakes or to a
wire If preferred. The hardy varie-
ties, such as the Cuthbert, Turner and
other of the newer varieties will need
no protection. .--American Agricultur-
