This plant is much noted and cul-
tivated in England and France. 1t is
said to be native to England, but that
its culture began first in France, where
it was doubtless named. 1t is especially
fitted for limestone soils, especially
where the limestone comes to within
three or four feet of the surface. The
chalk districts in England are the scene
of extensive culture of this plant, as
the chalk is but one form Of lime. 1t
does not do we'll where there is no
lime.
When young and tender sainfoin will
not endure the cold, but after the sec
ond or third year it becomes more
hardy. There are many parts of the
United States where limestone soils
abound and where this plant would
doubtless prove Of great value.
Where it is cultivated in England it
Is allowed to remain four years on the

put into other crops for a period of
four years. When the sainfoin is to be
put onto piece Of land it is generally
sowed with oats, the sainfoin seed be-
ing put on at the rate Of four bushels
per acre. 1t is frequently pastured for
the first two years after being sown, as
the first and second years do not geV
orally yield large crops of hay.
On soils well-suited to its cultiva-
ton, it will grow for six or eight years,
when it will be driven out by weeds
and grasses. Flowing the land after
sainfoin is difficult, as the roots are
large and tough.
Sainfoin should be cut at poisoning
time whether it is to be used for soil
ing or for hay. 1t is very liable to be
damaged by rain, in curing, as the
stems are hollow. The aftermath makes
good feed for horses, sheep and cattle.
The seed ripens in July, but as the
lower part of the head natures so much
earlier than the upper, and these seeds
are larger and more plump, 1t is best
to harvest them when the lower ones
are fully ripe, as they will become liable
to be shaken out and lost if the heads
stand until the upper portion is ready
to harvest.

Setting Ont CRANBERRY ylneu.

As in planting or setting out various
other kinds of vines and plants, there
seems to be no particular time when
II is absolutely necessary to have the
vines set out. The cranberry vine is
very hardy, and will live, even with a
good deal Of hard usage. When marsh
has been prepared in one summer the
owners frequently wait till the next
spring before putting out the cranberry
vines. From April till June is sup
posed to be the best time. Fall plant
ing is practiced by some, but 1t is
doubtful If there be much gain in this
over waiting for the next spring. When
Only a part Of the ground is to be
planted, that part should be planted
that is the highest, leaving the wetter
portions for the work of spring.

1t may be said that the Herrenhausen

which lies in the fact that they are as
white as milk when foaled, and do not
grow lighter in coat, as Is the case with
the ordinary grey horse, with increased
age. The pure white foal which was
on view last week at Darlington was
quite lusus naturae, especially as, be-
ing dark in eye, there can be nothing OF
the albino about 1t; but If scientifically
bred from, 1t will be interesting to learn
whether it is or is'not possible to found
a strain of white horses. Greys are still
fairly plentiful, but a breed of whites
might be worth encouraging, as, beyond
all question, there are plenty of persons
who buy horses who would be attracted
by the rarity Of the color

dice against chestnuts is gradually fol-
lowing the fate Of many other ancient
superstitions, which ordained that the
animals possessed of this shade of coat
were either Incorporate or soft, or both,
whilst 1t never seems to have entered
the minds of the detractors of this
splendid color that the shade Of ches-
nut varies from almost brown to the
very lightest tinge of gold. Still, 1t is
strange to say, it Is quite enough to
describe horse as chestnut to get him
refused by some otherwise very sensi-
BILE persons. Perhaps the color-inde-
pendently Of its unsightliness in the
eyes of some-to dangle before the
vision of the ordinary horse buyer who
is not horsey is the roam. This shade,
be 1t either red or blue, Is popularity be-
lieved to be confined to animals of the
hardest constitutions, though why the
writer can scarcely be expected to
imagine, as the two largest veterinary
surgeons bills he ever had to pay were
for horses of this color, and the memory
of the same still rankles his mind.
Browns, though sombrelooking, are
generally popular, but scores of other
wise sensible persons are unaccount-
ably prejudiced against blacks, which
some consider unlucky, and others are
convinced are vicious. Greys, in which
there is a steady tendency to grow
lighter in color as their age increases,
are seldom favorites either with master
or with man, for when they are cast
ing their coats they dishgure the cloth
ing of the former whilst their liability
to be stained in the stable causes extra
trouble to their grooms. Still, grey is
a good, sportsmanllke color, and the
wonder is that it is not more popular
with country gentlemen. Bay, of course,
is the carriage-horse color par excel
lence, the esteem with which it is re-
garded being perhaps more matter Of
| fashion than Of the intrinsic merit pos
sessed by horses of this shade of coat,
though he would be bold man who
would depreciate the beauty Of bay.
Gaudy white markings are naturally
disliked, and especially so by persons
of good taste, in whose eyes white stock
ings and broad blazes are particularly
this it will appear that the old preju-
offensive. Moreover, white leg and a
light-colored hoof are usually associat-
ed in the minds Of the majority of
horse-owners with delicacy, whilst the
very sight of skewbald is obnoxious
to scores Of persons. Yet how greatly
the presence Of an oddly-marked mover
sets off the appearance Of many a sport
ing team, and 1t is somewhat remark
able to be able to add that some of the
most successful show winners of the
day-for instance, Mr. Pope's grand old
Maybe for eleven successive years a

MONEY NOT NECESSARY.
An Exchange That GOts Along without
Gold or Silver.

Gold or Silver.
A coterie Of advanced labor men in
San Francisco have solved the monSy
question, as far as they personally are
concerned, by getting along without
gold or silver. They are endeavoring
to prove that 1t is possible to do bust
ness without any medium Of exchange
other than common honesty. The new
society Is known as the Labor EX-
change, In connection with the Ameri-
can Industrial Union, with national
headquarters in Chicago, and is based
on the idea that people seldom want
what they themselves produce. There
fore, they say that the way to solve the
labor problem Is to put the products
Of industry in the market for exchange
for other commodities. This Labor
Exchange conducts a general store to
which the idle shoemaker or other
manual worker brings the products he
has manufactured at home or in his
shop during a lull in business. He is

he deposits, but is given a certificate,
which entities him to any goods in the
store as pay for his wares. Mr.. Glesser,
the manager Of the store, says that by
the aid Of this system during the past
year goods valued at many thousands
Of dollars have been exchanged among
the members of the society. The GER
tificate reads that 1t is not redeemable
in legal tender, but is receivable by the
association as payment for merchandise
for all services The certificate Is Sc
cured by the real and personal prop
erty Of the association. There are, ac-
cording to the San Francisco Examiner,
100 members of the exchange in San
Francisco, and about 800 in the state.
Plans are under consideration by the
San Francisco branch by which shoe
makers, glovemakers, knitters and
other artisans will be kept en-
ployed to keep up the stock Of
the various stores in the state.
They will be paid wholly by checks or
certificates, which entitle them to draw
out goods to the value of their earnings.

Congregational Church (now the Lee

Young people Society of Christian En-
deavor, in imitation Of the one in his
book. The weekly meetings in the
church drew together such a company
