FEEDING MARKET HORSES.
Glasses Ia Demand and what Frepn-
ration IL Necessary.

There Is Il great deal more money
made in feeding horses for market if a
man understands the business than
there is in feeding cattle. In fact, a
we'll selected and well bought lot Of
horses will make 50 per head where
cattle will make 81. y man to select
horses to buy and feed must be Il
horScmnn. says i. j. Berry in The Ru-
raj New Yorker. He should under
stand the requirements of the market
and what constitutes n market horse.
He wants Il hl0cky made. well shaped
horse Of good bone and quality weigh
ing from 1.200 to 1000 pounds / to 7
years old. 1t should be one of the three
following classes: A 'chunk,' with
shape and quality, weighing from
1,250 to 1,3I0 pounds; express horse,
1900 to 1.lGO, or a draft horse weigh
ing from 1,500 to $500 pounds when
ready for market. They should lie fed
well from 30 to 80 days. OF course a
horse that is IN good condition when
bought might slInpe up in 30 days, but
from 80 to 80 days get most any horse
in good shape. The next class most
profitable to feed and more profitable
than the above named classes If select
ed and bought by Il competent Judge is
a coach or carriage horse or Il road
horse from 11.3 to lGl4 hands. weighing
from LOO to 1900 pounds when fed
and handled so as to be well broken and
handy and fit for immediate Use on the
road in n spider or stanhopc or car
riagc. This class must he sound, pos
scss all the shape and quality required
and is very Salahle.
In feeding horses the best methods
should be adopted to obtain the largest
gain for the same amount of feed. |

or large pens on the ground. Horses

must have sufficient moisture TO keep
them healthy and growing. They
should be kept warm and still have

the grain ana water they want three
times a day, with good hay that is not

Estimated Age Of the Earth.

Oliver G. harrington, curator Of the
Field Columbian museum at Jackson
Park, Chicago, has just completed ex-
pcrimcnts with rock formations pecul-
lar to the famous caves of Indiana, as
a result Of which he says he believes
that animal life has existed on this
planet for at least 10000. 600 years and
probably for double that length of
time. These conclusions were reached
by estimating the period required for
the growth of the stalactites in the
caves mentioned. In 1850 one of these
s~talactites was cut, and the increase
since then has been carefully measur-
ed, showing that about SIS years are
required for the formation Of Il cubic
inch of the substance.

Guiana ana Venezuela, which was eX.
pected to follow the settlement of the
Venezuelan boundary dispute, failed to
Materiallzc. The new boundary fixed
by the arbitration court is quietly ac-
ccpted by the people of British Guiana
and Venezuela, and no further dispute
Is likely TO arise. Gold mining Is still
being prosecuted in the British Guiana
goldficlds, and there are q few Amer!-
cans who are there trying to make
their fortunes.
"Thc yield of these goldliclds Is
about S2,0OO,O00 a year. All the gold
obtained is secured by placer mining.
No shafts have yet been sunk for lode
mining. Mining in British Guiana is
attended by the greatest difficulties
and hardships, and there is also some
danger to life and limb. The goldficlds
are all at some distance in the interior.
TO reach them the miners have to
travel through swamp lands and dense
brush, which are infested by a%lligators,
normous reptiles and wild beasts.
Everything the miners carry along has
to be packed by men. The Essequibo
and Demcrala rivers are great rivers,
but they are not navigable for more
than - miles, owing to many obstruc-
tons and frequent rapids. The miners
who 60 into the interior by following
these rivers court great danger.

no place for American miners. They
can do better in Colorado or Montana.
"Thc British in South America have
not talked a great deal about our ac-
QUESTION of colonial possessions, but
they express the opinion that we can
do just as well with colonies rs they
have done. British Guiana is control

A Discovery In ParOs,

An important discovery is reported
from paros in the shape of an inscrip-
ton containing portions Of the biogra-
ply of the celebrated lyric poet, Ar
chilochus, of pnros, by a hitherto I'M
Enown writer. Dcmeas, who wrote
probably about the third century b. c.,
says the London AtlenTum. The
biograplior drew his facts, many of
which were unknown till now, from
the works of the poet and cited the
passages on which he based his in
formation. Unfortunately the shat

Prices For Pure Breeds.

There is no question about the activ-
lty Of trade in pure bred stock, nor Is
there any doubt that high prices are
being paid for animals suitable to head
or found breeding herds, says The Ma
tiouul St0ckman. But these facts do
not mean that every breeder is justified
inf marking UP prices On everything to
a high figure. He can and should OBJ
tain on the average breeding stock
much better figures than he did a few
years Q He can if he goes about it
in the right way sell his surplus so as
to make plenty Of money. But he can
not except in rare instances get such
prices as are obtained at sales Of top
notch breeding animals. Some breed
ers seem t. think they should have
big prices on the strength Of these
sales and quote their stock beyond the
reach of the class of buyers to whom it
is suited They are the ones who grum-
BE about SLOW trade. Those who ad-
vartisc and sell at reasonable figures
ere rot kicking about lack Oe orders.

determination of Rnts.

The determination of rats by the ar
pllcation of a meteorological process
has recently been suggested at the
l'nsteur institute Of Paris. 1t is said
a mlcrohe has been found which will
produce n deadly pestilencc when in
trodnccd info a population of rats and
cause their humiliation, or at least
make them a negligible quantity. The
bacillus in question was derived from
field mice suffering from a spontaneous
epidemic disease and by elaborate
processes Of repeated cultures was
transmitted through a series Of mice
and rats. In this way Its virulence
was increased. and it was found when
eaten surely pathogenic for the rats.
In addition to the experiments in the
laboratory. trials were made in n large
number of farms. warehouses and 9th.
cr places infested by rats. 1t is re-
ported that in so per cent of the ex-
pcrimonts there was a complete disap-
pcarance Of the rats. that in 30 per
cent their number greatly decreased,
while in 20 per cent the method failed.

THE COST OF WAR.
ENORMOUS Sums For England to Pay
For the south African CampuiuD.

'"r s"s' SoNth African
Recently some interesting data have
Deen published regarding the TRANSPORT
tation OF troops, horses and material to
South Africa, based on official reports.
Between Oct, 20 and June o, OBJ trans
ports left England for the scat Of war,
carrying on board 1SS, iii men, 3G,333
horses, 40o guns and 1851 wagons.
Moreover, about $4,000 horses came
from Australia. Argentina ANA New
Orleans, and 10000 were brought by
the colonial troops. Finally some 49,
600 mules were shipped from tie Unit
ed States, Italy, India and Spain, max
ing a total Of 10000 animals. The
average price of those purchased
abroad was ST. for horses and $G7 for
mules. Tho cost of transporting the
troops was about $%10,000,000.
Fol the hospital service there were
II general hospitals, ) permanent hos
pitfalls and 81 field hospitals, besides IS
bearer companies, with Il personnel of
40 military surgeons, $50 civil sur
geOns, $50 nurses, 5000 men of the
hospital corps, 800 volunteers, 1000
men Of the st. John ambulance corps
and $50 men of the militia ambSancc
corps. Finally two hospital trains and
four hospital ships were sent out from
England.
Between Oct.5 and April %, 1872 ships
of q total tonnage capacity of :..93, IA
ions were chartered for carrying am
munition and supplies, and about l5O,-
600 tons of meat, coal, fodder, etc,
were shipped from England and for
eign ports.
For the postal service $40 telegra-
pliers and $500 postal officials were re-
quired for the enormous mail, which,
for example, on one day (Alay 1W
amounted to 313,416 letters and 49,

The Belgian hare is Il meat producer.
no waste in the little creature, and the
feeding of it costs practically moth
ing. 1t can be kept in small spaces
"A single animal in a hutch 2 by 3 and

have no dOmesticated animal that will

gian hare. 1t is a clean animal, thirty
ing on vegetable food, garden truck,
hay, clover. etc. In fact, it Is a good
bit like a sheep. 1t will cat most any
thing, but green food should be fed
sparingly.
They are also very prolific. a doe
will produce from six to eight young
sters about every 20 days.
The question has been asked me a
number of times, at what age Is tile
lest time to purchase young stock?
Young stock is generally sold at the
age Of 3 months. But at this age
it is indeed very hard to tell what you
are purchasing, for it is ut this age that
they are losing their baby color and
commencing to get their real color and
ticking. and a hare does not fully ma
ture until from s to 8 months OF
age, and it is advisable not to breed
them until that age.
My advice would be to Il beginner
to purchase as fine a doe as his or her
purse will allow. Have her bred to IL
buck equally fine, and if you raise
extra good youngsters from that mat
ing, keep breeding the doe to the same
buck for at least Il few times. n good
Individual specimen, backed by ances-
tors Of known quality, never proves Il
disappointment, and if properly mated
will produce young better than herself.
