WITH THE HoRsEMEN.

An article in the Veterinarian on the
Differentiation and Regulation of Sex
in the Breeding of Horses" gives con-
densed account of the investigations of
Prof Wilckens of Vienna on the
subject. His observations have been
very extensive, and by CORES
pondence with breeders he has been en-
abled to bring under review the circum-
stances attending the birth of 10000
foals The normal proportion of colts to
fillies he gives as 81 colts to 100 fillies,
and when the proportion greatly varies
from this standard, some reason has to
be found for the variation. He is of the
opinion that sex is determined when the
dam has passed about one-third the per-
iod of CESSATION, and that its determine
ton is regulated chiefly by the bodily
condition of the mother at the time, and
| that well-nourished fetus is more like
ly to be female than male. He shows
by statistics that although the proportion
of colts to fillies born in summer compar-
ed with the proportion born in winter
| does not vary, yet mares inhabiting high
exposed districts and in cold, raw eli.
mates have greater tendency to pro-
duce colts than fillies.-[Country Gen

SUCCESSFUL FARMING.

We have once before made mention OF
the thrift and success attending the
work of Thomas Renfew, Jr., at Mrs
Goodhue's farm at Arrow Point. 1t was
the pleasure of your correspondent, one
day last week, through 1.-THE kindness OF
Robert Kirk and the invitation of Mr. Rem.
frew to visit the farm and inspect person
ally the improvements made. After
passing an hour at Mrs Goodhue's per-
fectly arranged house and carriage barn
and strolling through her large and
charmingly arranged and kept garden,
which has for several seasons been SUI
perintended by Christopher Burns, we
joined Mr. Renfew near his home place
and he most kindly showed us about.
First we visited the large and convenient
cattle barn which was erected last year
by John Fl. Ferris. For the dairy there
is 20 stanchions of improved pattern.
Near this stable is the large silo which,
this week, Mr. Renfrew intends to fill and
which filed, will be sufficient feed for
the cows, with grain, for nearly the en-
tire winter. Under the same roof are
stalls for the oxen, bulls and farm
horses, so that in all weather, all can be
fed and cared for without going from
one building to another, except the
swine house, which is but a few feet
from the barn, and where in separate
apartments are seen the pigs of different
age and size. By the introduction of the
silo, Mr. Renfrew is selling considerable
of the hay, which was not sufficient to
keep the stock before he came. After
enjoying an excellent dinner, Mr. Rem
frew took US out to see his large piece of
sowed corn, which will soon be packed
away, and we found stalks which meas
ured nearly - feet, and none less than
10 feet. We saw the stone dock he is
constructing by the shore of the lake
from stone he has gathered on the differ
emit lots he has titled and improved, and
which when done will be quite ornamen-
tai. His dairy consists of 20 Jerseys of
the finest grade. We reluctantly left
Mr. Renfrew at 2 p. M, and felt on our
return that we had enjoyed. the finest
ride Of the season and seen one Of the
best farmers and the best titled farm at
Lakeside.

LARGE FLOCK OF HEN HAWKS.

On Saturday in the clear upper air
large flock of hen hawks were seen pass
ing westward. One seemed to be little
nearer the earth than the rest and Dan
lei Young fired at it, but the bird did not
change it's course, nor seem to know
what was going on below. The flock
were probably on tour of inspection,
accommodating the lower heavens. 1t is
presumed that they had leader with
definite errand in view.

OUR VISITORS DEPART.

Mrs Swift and her family returned to
Hartford, early in the week, and Prof
HUH of Bridgeport, who with his wife
had been spending a few days at Dea
Curtis. Prof Huth dispensed some ex-
cellent music. He has practiced playing
the piano, he said, 60 years. He began
at eight. He has visited Europe several
times since he came to America and made
it his home. He has son who is equal
~ proficient as pianist, who studied
four years in Europe and now gives in
struction in his line in Bridgeport. Prof
HUH said he was driven to practice by
his father, who was also teacher on the
same instrument. He has not forgotten
the punishments inflicted, compelling
him to practice. He has no regrets now
No one can get his knowledge and won
derful skill away from him, so he says,
and says truly. Franklin said if young

Jesus was speaking to those Jews
which believed on Him. ''If ye continue
in my word" he said, "then are ye my
disciples indeed. And ye shall know
the truth and the truth shall make you
Free" They answered him, "We be
dage to any man, how sayest thou, ye
shall be made free. Jesus answered
them, "Verily, verify 1 say unto you,
whatsoever committeth sin, is the bond
servant of sin. And the bondservant
abideth not in the house forever, but the
Son abideth forever"
s'If the Son Therefore shall make you
free, We shall be free indeed" 1t was not
social freedom of which He was speak
ing, but spiritual. 1t was not legal bon
vitude of sin. 1t was not the freedom of
their inheritance which was in question
but the freedom of their souls.
The seed of Abraham we're the politi-
cal subjects indeed, of the empire OF
Rome, but they had never been the
slaves of any people. 1t was perhaps
the chief boast of their pride that they
we're the children of the promise of Goo
and still, it is no less true, that spiritual
ly speaking, as nation, they were tht
abject bondservants of most blind ane
persistent unbelief.
Notwithstanding the exalted priv
leges of their Inheritance; after thou

Christ, and to continue in his word, tina
