Fraurance of Hay.

The agreeable odor of freshly cut
hay Is impaired to it by certain plants
of the family of the labiates, such
as the salad-burnet, woodruff, sweet
trefoil, etc., but in particular by the
so-called spring grass or vernal grass
(Anthoxantum odoratum). This latter
is very precocious gramina that
fourishes as early as the end of April
or the beginning of May. 1t grows in
low and thick tufts, and thrives chief
ly in fresh and shaded ground.
Now, should you ask us whence
this odor of the spring grass which to
hay imparts it's fragrance, we shall
answer, we shall tell you: 1t is due
to the aromatic principle called Cou-
marin by the chemists. This substance
Is also extracted from the above-men-
toned plants in which it appears in
appreciate quantities, and used in
the manufacture of perfumes, as well
as in medicines in the form of soda
tive and carminative pastes and sy-
rups against bronchitis, whooping
cough, etc.-G. B. G.. in the American

Catering to the Horse Market.

1t Is very well known that good
draft grade horses are all the better
for hard work when only in good fair
flesh conditions. And yet 1t is the fat
horse that brings the highest price.
The New York Herald gives a good
illustration of this fact, and says that
the feeders often pick up their pros.
poets in the markets where they
are to be sold when finished, selecting
only such animals as promise to round
out to fancy drafters of extra weight
shape and quality. These horses are
used for light work on the. farms while
the fattening process is going on. and
thus often almost pay for the feed
they consume, leaving to the farmer
as profit the difference between first
cost and final selling price. This diff
ference Is sometimes astonishing
when horses are selected and finished
oy an expert feeder. One man last
year picked up carload of prospects
IN one OF the western markets at an
average of $275, and, after feeding
them little more than three montbe
ent them back to the same market
ana sold them at an average of s422
It taxes about four months for tha |
average FEEDER to fatten a stalled |
lraught horse for the New York mar.

heai' molasses and timothy and clov

might be filled with anecdotes of The
remarkable intelligence and courage

in New England, where their drivers
seem to have placed more confidence
in them and encouraged them in the
use of their own minds; which is nee.

soning power they possess.
It is said that in the civil war they
were the most intelligent, courageous

They are not the kind that when asked
to go in one direction, insist on 60
ing in another.
We have bred horses for many pur-
poses. but have neglected the most
valuable of any one feature in the
horse-brains. The question asked to-
day by prospective purchasers Of a
horse is, is the animal fearless of au-
tomobiles, trolley and steam cars? It
requires an intelligent, sensible, level.
headed horse to go on the road today
and not give trouble to its driver.
Intelligent as is the Morgan horse, as
a breed, there is a great difference
in the mental development of individ-
uals. l have found the most intelli-
gent of the breed to be those that
are line-bred to the brainy Justin Nor
gan; not only do they resemble him
and his near descendants in quality
of brain and nerve force, but also in
size, shape, length of leg, weight pull

er that knowingly sacrifices intelli-
gence, strength and endurance for a
few inches in length of leg, is not a
true friend of the horse. Intelligence |

CONCERNING FISH EGGS,
Simple Means by Which the Matching
Of Them May Be EXPEDITED.

| The Aquarium received lately from
| the United States Fisheries Bureau s..
| 100000 white perch eggs-the eggs OF
this species are very small-which
have been placed in Matching jars in
the Aquariumis model fish hatchery.
The period of incubation of fish
eggs depends largely on the temper
ature Of the water in which they
are spawned Or placed. Whitefsh
eggs in water of a temperature of So
degrees would hatch out in about three
days; in water of temperature OF
So degrees, that being about the pres
ent temperature of the Croton water
as 1t flows into the Aquarium's tanks,
"hlteflsh eggs require for matching a
period Of from fifteen to twenty DAYS.
The susceptibility of fish eggs to
temperature makes it possible to do
things with them that could not be
done otherwise. II in such a hatch

with its limited space, 1t should be

Parasites on Sheep.

Some writer's claim that sheep ought
not to be pastured on land more than
one year before it is plowed and re-
seeded, owing to parasites, but 1t has
been shown that sheep have been kept
free from parasites by the use Of tar,
turpentine and salt. Bore two inch
holes in pine log, fill with salt and
smear tar around the top, and sheep
will tar their noses while eating salt.
Sheep soon learn to eat tar. One
sheep raiser keeps it mixed with tur-
pentine and salt, where it is access
ible at all times. About one-half pint
of turpentire to one peck of salt is

II only the best fowls were re-

as soon as they show that they can
not keep up with the others, there
would be a great deal of saving of
both time and food, and more room

retained. Inferior chicks or adults
will amount to nothing but loss in
the end, and they should be gotten rid
of before they cost the owner more

be eaten by the owner, and thus save
