one OF the streets of the metropolitan city.
l continued in this spacious avenue for
haf mile, and then came out upon a
large spot, cleared of wood, in the center
of which saw two buildings on an extern
sive scale, and some men at work on one
of them. The only human beings l should
nave seen here not a great many years be-
fore would nave been some savages
of the Potomac. whose tribe is said to
have sent deputies to treat with William
Penn at the assembly he held at Chester.
Advancing and speaking to these workmen
they informed me that l was now in the
center of the city, and that the building
efore me was the Capitol, and the other
destined to be tavern. As the greatest
cities have similar beginning, there was
really nothing surprising here, nor out of
the usual order of things: but still the
scene which surrounded me-the metropo-
lis of great nation in it's first stage from
a sylvan state-was strikingly singular.
thought IL the more so as the accounts
which I had received of Washington while
at Philadelphia, and the plan which had
seen burg up In the dining room at Bla-
densburg, had prepared me for something
rather more advanced. Looking from where
/ now stood l saw on every side a thick
wood pierced with avenues in more or
less perfect state. These denoted the lines
of the intended streets, which already APP
peared i'll the engra we'd plan with their flu
ture names The Capitol promised to he a
large and handsome building. judging from

bered with building materials. did not go
into the tavern. 1t was a large building
OF red brick and in much more advanced
state than the Capitol. being rooted in.
A silent wiIderness
THE masons having answered all my
questions with much civility. l rode on fol-
lowing the avenue they pointed out 10 me.
After going about three-quarters of
mile through silent wilderness l found
myself upon a trackless plain. partially
covered with trees and brushwood / in
vain looked about for Mr.. Laws house or
some one to guide me to 1t. l therefore rode
on in the direction I judged the most likely
to lead me out of this labyrinth. 1 knew
that in case of my not succeeding. my re-
treat was always open to the Capitol. for
while talking with the workmen l observed
that all the avenues converged to that
point. l continued therefore to explore my
way through the thckets keeping my

Sugar for Horses.

All horses can easily be taught to like
sugar. 1t is nutritious food, though
fattening rather than strength giving,
and when the horses are at work only
little should be given, and that rather
as an appetizer than as food. 1t will cause
the horse to have a very shiny coat.
When horse has learned to like sugar,
he can easily be taught at pasture, for
he will grow as fond of sugar as little
child is of sweets. But the condiment
should not be given in sufficient quauti-
ties 10 serve as q substitute for more
nutritious foods, and it is better to give
sugar in cold weather than 10 sumner,
because the carbon, which constitutes
the whole value Of sugar, is soon trans
muted into animal warmth by the diges-
tive process. Feeding sugar in hot
weather causes horses to sweat easily If
at work, and they soon run down and
become pOor.-Boston Cultivator.

About Incubators.

The incubator has come to stay. In
fact it is here now and the desire to
have 1t is spreading. Those who have
incubators want m ore of them and those
who don't have them are finding out all
they can about them and want to get
them. We have concluded to put in
one or two ourselves and an accompani-
ment Of breeders necessary to rear rhe
chicks. The principle is right; thou
sands of them are in successful use and
they "sit" when one wants them to. and
there is no use 10 denying the fact that
they are here to stay.
Anyone who has not already bought
one should do so as soon as possible
Put it in dry cellar or in some warm
place where the temperature will not
get too low, load it, manage it according
to the directions, keeping both eyes
open. and make what might be termed
q trial trip. One will soon become ac-
customed to the management of the
machine and when it is necessary to
load it for early chicks, some time in
February or later, perhaps, this early
experience should enable the beginner
to be fairly successful.
, We have basement cellar and base
-ment laundry in which we are going to
give our machine trial, and by the
time above mentioned we hope to be
able to have it Matching out little
chickens with less trouble than to bother
with hens. Hens do the business when
they get ready, but sometimes they are
so slow in getting ready. We propose
to use the hens yet awhile to lay the
eggs for Matching purposes. We have
never thought of substituting some
thing else for them for that purpose
When we find something that will lay
as we'll as the incubators hatch, we may
make a change in layers, but until that
time we will have to be content with
hens as layers.-Bomestead.

Fattening Lambs

The first thing to be understood in
lamb fattening is that any young animal
is likely to make extra growth when fed
extra feed, but when growth is unusually
stimulated there is lack of the best fat
tening proclivities. Lambs require pecu-
lar attention in feeding. They should
be put on feed very carefully, and when
they finally get on full feed should be
kept that way by occasionally changing
the ration. We have had lambs 10 the
feed lot that after having been on feed
three or four weeks seemed to be get
ting in good condition to lay on flesh
a sort of preliminary exercise, SO to
speak. About that time they will begin
to deposit some flesh on the inside, the
evidence of which may be gained by
observing the actions of the lambs.
When a lamb is seen standing in a con-
tented, stretching position, little later
it will be found that it is beginning to
deposit some fat at the root of the tail,
and from thence fat gradually extends
along the back over the shoulders and
finally reaches the neck
In fattening lambs it is necessary to
keep them quiet as possible and we
have found it a very good plan to feed
them somewhat differently to old sheep,
in that they are always kept with
pretty sharp appetite. When a lamb is
fed about as much as it can eat at feed
it does not come up to the trough the
next time with as keen an appetite as is
necessary to keep it in good health and
trim during the term of feeding. To
keep the lambs constantly gaining flesh
and attaining that ripeness so desired is
difficult and the feeder should be pretty
well acquainted with his bunch Of
lambs. He should study them, keep
close watch of them, and do anything
and everything that will cause them to
increase in flesh and at the same time
have that freshness that Is 80 desira-
