DRAFT-HORSE BREEDING.
L Revival Which Means Prosperity
ThrouShOUt the West.

ThrOuShOue the west.
The revival of draft-horse breedicg
in the horse-breeding states, after this
unprecedented decline in breeding 70,
three years, is simply the law of supply
and demand. The revival of business
and commercial industries calls for
more big draft horses, while the sup
ply of good horses is far short of the
demand, and must be until we can pro-
duce new supply and mature them
for the markets. Prices meanwhile
must advance and the weights increass
to 1,sOO and 1000 pounds, while in 1892 "a
1,000-pound horse was a good draft
horse. Farmers have about concluded
that they will stick to the farm, and II
they farm draft horses are the most
substantial, reliable and profitable
branch of stock breeding.
The revival of draft and coach
horse breeding throughout the west
ern states means greater prosperity.
Already these horses top the marke.s
and the many foreign buyers are eager
ly looking for the best of them, while
our own city markets complain of the
short supply, just when they want more
of them and a little larger and better
than ever before.-Live Stock Journal.

Calculations In Regard to the Nectar Col

A writer in the Revue DIES Sciences
Naturelles makes the following caIcu-
1ations in regard to the work done Y
the honey bee: When the weather is
fine, a worker can visit from 40 to
so flowers in six to ten trips and
collect a grain of nectar. If it visits
200 or 400 flowers, it will gather I'VE
grains. Uuder favorable circumstances,
it will take fortnight to obtain
Is grains. 1t would, therefore, take sew
eral years to manufacture a pound of
honey, which will fill about 5000 cells.
A hive contains from 10000 to sc, 900
bees. half of which prepare the honey.
the other half attending to the wants of
the hive and the family. On fine day.
16, 600 or 10000 individuals will, in six
or ten trips, be able to explore from
800, 900 to 1,OOO,OO flowers. say several
hundred thousand plants Again, the
locality must be favorable for the prep
aration of the honey, and the plants
that produce the most nectar must
flourish near the hive. A hive inhabited
by 10000 bees may, therefore, under IA
vorable conditions, receive about two
pounds of honey day.

FAP.M AND GARDEN.
THE FNE-ACRE FARM.
How 1t Can Be Made to Yield Handsome
and Certain Returns.

How 1t Can Be Made to Yield Handsome
and Certain Returns.
To make the most of small farm il
mast be made to yield it's fruits at such
times as they are the most valuable,
which means to prolong the season to
the greatest possible extent consistens
with economy. There is great pleasure
and profit in having vegetables both
early and late. There is decided relish
in very early vegetables, if of our own
production, and providing they can be
produced at a reasonable price. The
totbed meets all these conditions; when
properly managed it will furnish many
vegetables nearly two months in ad-
vance of the garden, and of much better
quality, because they are grown more
quickly and at a moderate cost.
But the hotbed to be profitable must
oe made useful the entire season, or at
least from March to January. After it
has furnished us with an early crop OF
radishes and lettuce, together with
plants for early cabbage, caulif1ower
and tomatoes, it can be made highly
useful for cucumbers, not our common
garden varieties, but the English frame
sorts, which do finely with us in sum
mer when grown in a frame, which
should be kept well shaded on sunny
days. We have grown as large and we'll
shaped cucumbers in these frames as
we have ever seen grown in the green
house.
S If cucumbers are not desired, sow d
few seeds of tomatoes about the list
E of June, not later than the 10th; these
will ripen their first fruits upon the ap-
prOach of frost, when the sash should be
: put on, and the season of tomatoes can
be prolonged for at least month. After
these are gone the frame can be filled
with lettuce plants, which should be in
readiness, and, with little protection.
the hotbed viii furnish supply during
December.
A goodly number of cold frames
should be in readiness in spring to re-
ceive the young plants Of tomatoes, cab
bage and caulifower, in order to harden
them off before transferring them TO
the garden; this will afford the lettuce
oil the room it will require for heading,
rs the other plants should be sown in
alternate rows in order to make all the
space useful.
The Importance of this kind Of farm
ing is but little understood or appre-
ciated. 1t is carried on extensively near
all large cities, and is made profitable
by those who understand it. But it IS
:oubiy valuable to the small farmer who
grows not SO much for profit as for
pleasure, for those who are willing to
pay to their gardeners what their vege-
tables and small fruits would cost them
in the market, and the rental Of the
farm besides, for the satisfaction there
is in having everything fresh and strict
ly first-class in every respect.-Rural
Farmer.

When the Fifty-fourth congress met
its speaker announced retrenchment,
economy and reform to be its policy.
The profigacy of the Fifty-first con-
gress was to be offset with a frugaljty
that would tie the knot in the purse
strings tighter than any democratic
house ever tied it. The appropriation
bills of the Fifty-fourth congress have
all been made up and sent over to the
senate. That body is conscientiously
augmenting them, and what they will
be when they come out of conference
no one dares guess. The doubling
of the river and harbor bill gives some
