The Arabs have two methods of esti-
mating the height to which a colt will
grow, the first being to stretch a cord from
the nostril over the ears and down along
the neck and compare this measurements
with that from the withers to the feet, and
the other method being to compare the
distance between the knee and the withers
with that from the knee to the coronet
In the first method it is considered that a
colt will grow as much taller as the first
measurement exceeds that of the second,
and in the second method, if the proportion
is as two to one, the horse will grow no
taller,

Norway Making Arrangements to Supply
London with luton.
London will shortly have the advan-
tage of another meat supply-this time
from Norway-which, according to the
London Telegraph, is perfeoting ar.
engagements for supplying the English
metropolis with as much mutton, alive
or dead, al it can spare for expectation.
Systematic experiments were made re-
Gently under the supervision of the
Ssavanger Agricultural society, aud the
results were 50 satisfactory that in the
approaching cold season it is to be re-
peated on q larger scale.
1t appears that 80 sheep, each weigh
ing about 100 pounds, were fattened
for q week or so until they turned the
scale at from ll5 pounds to 1873 pounds.
They were then shipped TO London.
where they realized an average price,
after deducting commission, OF about
$3.50. and as the total outlay had only
been about $6. 80 per head there was a
net profit Of nearly 81 on each animal.
Forty were slso sent over with che
skins. boots and interior intact. but on
these three wns an average loss Of 10
shillings per head. partly explained by
the skins being damaged through bad
packing.
Nevertheless the Stavanger society
has come to the conclusion that the
business promises to DO romunerative,
and the English people have thus an
addltional guarantee Of IN adequate
supply of mutton.
