“5. A pure thoroughbred sire that has got good ones should be selrcted, and I do not believe a really good weight-carrying hunter will ever be bred from anythmg but, a thoroughbred horse» One of the most thoughtless and unwise things a iarmer can do, and yet apractice so common that a farmer's garden has be- come a synonym for a weed nursery, is to let weeds take possession of every plsc made vacant by the removal of any crop. This practice not only exhausts the fertility of the soil, but fills it so luiloi DOIlOEE seeds as to greatly multiply the labour of keeping a clean garden the following season. It is a very sensible practice to so ariange the various plants that those maturing to- gether, at diflerent times, shall be grouped, so that as they mature and are removed, the vacant ground shall all come in one plot, graduully enlarging, as others mature and are removed. When so placed, a boy, horse and cultivator can go over the ground in a very short time, and, by repeating the operation at intervals of one or two wee ks, the ground can be kept entirely clean. Sea to it now that all weeds grown in and about the garden are carefully out or pulled, and all, root or branch, placed in a pile and burned. The seeds are so fully matured that it is not safe to place them evrn in a ’compost heap, and it is bettsr to sacrifice what little manurial value they contain than to scatter the seeds. By cutting or pulling them when damp, but few seeds will shell out, and by putting an armful of dry straw or brush at the bottom of the pile and leav- ing them till midday, they can be easily burned. Every day you now neglect this little “ chore,” the more weeds you will have to contend with next summer. Go for them at once I “4. The offspring bred from greatly dis- limilar parents in either size or character should never be used fcr breeding purposes; their offspring will certainly prove to be mongrels of nondescripc chavacter. That the parents should be as similar as pcssble is a rule the neglect of which has led to more disappointment than almost any other rule I know of. -“ 2.

The dam, as a gmeral rule, has'more direct influence on her ofi'spring as regards health and size than the sire has. General Rules for Breeding Light Horses. Mr. H. Pratt, of Gawwortb, Co. Cork, one of the most successful breeders of light horses in Ireland, lays down the following rules for the breeding of hunters and saddle horses : “I. Determine exactly what it is you really require to produce, and having done so never lose sight of it. Tne rule of profit must always be to full feed growim}r and fattening shzep. This brings them to maturity and market at the earliest period and commands the best pro- fit. If sheep are allowed to stand still. with- out gain or growth. then the food eaten is utterly wasted. We have always found a little grain in the fall to [3y even with fair pasture, because the fattening sheep (an digest a little concenlrated foou besides all the grass they will sit; and this concen- trated nutriment will all go to gain or profit. Every feeder should look carefully to his sheep and see that they have enough regard- less oi drought.â€" [Canadian Breeder. There is another method which we have adopted on neural occasions when pasture was cut 08' by drought. We took early cut and nicely onred clover and timothy hay, cut into very fine ohafl‘in a power cutter, then moistened this chafl" to that ground feed would adhere to it, and mixed the bran. oil meal. &c., with it. This mixture was placed in the troughs, and the sheep ate it all down. The cut hay was about twice the bulk of the ground feed. We found that the whole was more completely digested wh_en cut hey we} added. This plan could only be fxllowed by those who use a. cutter. and then it does not add very materially to the labour. \Vhen rate are cheap, there is no better food for sheep on_pasture. Th-OEB specxfic rations are not intended to be considered as adapted to all (uses. The feeder-'5 eye must take in the situation of each flock, and adapt the ratiOn to each particular case. But we have seen the quantities named produce excellent results with the diflerent classes of sheep mention- ed. t The question then arises, what shall the sheep-feeder do to keep up 3. steady growth on young sheep, steady gain on fattening sheep. and a full, healthy condition in breed- ing sheep, when drought cuts ofl’ the supply of grass? If the Ensnlage system ha- en fully entered upon, then succulent clover and other grasses preserved in silo may be given to excellent efl‘eet : but this syslem is only yet on trial by the "one in a thou- sand," and won't apply to the general sheep- feeder. For breeding sheep one-half pound of wheat bran. fed in tyoughs in pasture. will probably make up the deficiency. A little extra. food goes a long way in keeping up ocnditicn. For 8 months lambs and young growing sheep, a half pound of bran with one to two gills of com, or onevbalf pound of oil meal, will keep them thriving. or fattening sheep to be sold in late fall or early Winter, one pound of corn and a talf pound of oil meal ; this, with half pasture. will push them forward favorably. Management of Sheep in October. The firat part of the season, over nearly the whole country, was so wet as to produce 5 large growth of grasses, and pastures were everywhere flush. Still, in some pluses. it was obrerved that sheep did not lay on flesh as fast as when the growth of grass was more moderate, it was :00 water y and con- tained hes substance. But Suptember has been dry over a large extent 0! country. and pastures have become short. This will, in many sections. keep the condition of sheep lower than mil to dmireble for fall sales, and thinner than they should be for the moi: profitable winter feeding.

A correspondcnt in Canton sends the Pall Mall Gazette the following story lrom the Marshall Islands : The end of last year an American ship the “ Ranier" was wrecked on these Islands, and about ‘20 men found refuge ,on them, But their number being too large [or their supply of provisions it was agreed that the party should separate. The captain caused a small twenty-ton schooner to be built of the remains of the wreck, and taking ten of the crew and a share of the provisions sailed 9way for another island of the group about 200 m'les off. The re st of the crew was left in charge of the first mateâ€"a son~in-law of the cap- tain. The second mate was sent OH to make his way to Saigon and ap eal for aid. This he did, finally reaching ong Kong, when the U.S. corvette “ Essex" was deapatohed to the resnne, carrying the sewed mate a: a guide. Meanwhile tne king of the island on which the shipwrecked men were, who was kind and friendly to them, was full of forebodings as to the fate of the captain‘s party and the second mate ; said they would never see them at ain, and so on. But one day he came with different tidings. It seems he was in the hi. bit of ho‘ding spirit- ual communion with his dead wife, by name Olivia. In one of the services he had, I sup- pose, ashed her if she could give him any tidings, any hopes, for his ship“ racked friends. She said that on a Sunday a sail would be seen, and they would be rescued. The king brought this news with great joy to the refugees, and With some curiosity they awaited the result. This must have been tome four months after they were wrecked. Sure enough on the following Sunday a sail was seen, but in spite of their efforts to attrsck attention the ship passed on her course. But the Sunday after that the res- cuing ship, the “ Essex ” appeared in sight, and eventually took them all :rfl'. This story was related by an oflicer of the “ Essex ” to a friend of mine, who at once told it to me. These Islands are in the North Pacific Ocean, to the S. W. of the Sandwitch Isles, and there is very little ccmmunication with them. “There goes a. man who leads a. fast life.” "Is be rich .7” “No, he only gets $75 a month." “ Then he must steal to lead a fast life on that income ?” ‘ "Oh. no ; he’s a. railroad conductor." A sad story of a French drummer boy is told at Heidelbrrg. in connection with the last siege of that city. The Austrians were in porsessicn of the place, and the only means of attacking them was by crorsing the old bridge over the river Neckar. But the defenders were well prepared for the at tack; they placed their cannon in such a manner that it covered the bridge and iis ‘ approach: s. The French planted than can- non on the opposite side of the river, and kept up a terrible fire, but were utterly an able to dislodge the Austrians from their end of the bridge. The attackers were determin- ed to take the city, but had no other means of doing so than by crossing the bridge, and that was swept by the guns their oppon- ents. They made repeated charges from their side, but each time they advanced they were mowed down by the Austrian artillery, or repulsed at the point oi the bayonet. The French baud advanced as far as the centre of the bridge, exi ting the soldiery with their martial strau s, but were compelled to retreat with the retreating men. Again and again the musicians advai ced and retreated, with their comrades, until at last a little drummer boy, disnaining flight‘mouuted on the parapet of the bridge, and, although his fellowvbandsm(n fled with the soldiers, stood his ground manfully, beating a wild air to recall the men to the charge. On rushed the Austrians With fixed bayonets, whilst the little hero, still beating his drum defiantly, was run through the body by some brutal foe. As he fell over the bridge into the rapid rushing river below, the poor boy cried out, “ Oh, my mother I my mother 1" The last words of the little con- script were heard, both by fri-nd and ioe. and are yet remembered in Heidelberg. On ‘ wild nights, as the peasant crosses the bridge, in fancy he still sees the form of the 1 little drummer boy beating the fierce alarm, and still, amid the rush of the waters, imagines that he hi are his dying words, “ 0, my mother 1 my mother i”â€"[Exchange. file bleached stuff is little liked and little eaten.
