The experiments of Divy long ago demon strated irrefutably that the temperature of the interior of the body varied little in man with race, climate or season ; yetit is famil- iar to all that the temperature of the skin varies considerably in different parts, the extremities, for example, and those parts of the skin in which the circulation is feeble being cooler than other parts. Quite recent- ly someinterestiog experiments to determine these variations of the surface have been made by Prof. Kunkel at “’uizburg. Tak- ing the skin of the face in the first instance, he finds that in men from 20 to 30 years of age it varies from 85 to 89 deg. F., with an approximate average of 88 deg. The skin of the more exposed parts of the body, as the tip of the nose and the ear, in which the circulation is slow and feeble, exhibited a lower temperature, not succeeding in many instances 75 deg. The skin covering the muscular rettion of the body is warmer than that over the bones and tendons. Contrac- tion of the muscles caused the temperature of the} superadjncent portion of the skin to rise 1 deg. or more. The decrease of tem- perature from the skin to the outer covering in 11 room at a temperature of 63 deg. was as follows : On the skin 88 deg, on the linen shirt 82 deg., on the vest 75 deg, and on the coat 7?. deg. The highest temperature was found to occur in men in the full Vigor of life. As a singular fact, Dr. Kunkel states that children otherwise in perfect health showed a much lower degree of surface tem- peratureâ€"from 77 to 85 degâ€"than adults. He does not appear to have followed cut Prof. Lombard’s observations on the temper- ature of the head. A writer in the Horseman gives the follow ing points as to how to give a horse so easy and graceful gait: The lumbering, awkward gait of a horse can generally be attributed to the manner in which he was handled when first put to work. Naturxlly feeling un- comfortable in harness, it is not to be won- dered at that the first actions of a horse in such positions should be awkward and clumsy. As far as future comfort in handl- ing is concerned, the first few weeks in harness is a critical time in the training of a horse. In most esses gaits are then form- ed that. last duriuv life, and if they are the kind that are not desirable they will operate strongly against the value of the animil. As it is always easier to teach a horse to do what you want him to do than to break up hab.ts that have been established, the importance of starting out the right way is apparent. A driving horse is always he better for 0 cc having bren trained by an experierced driver, or " tracked," as it is generally expressed, because it is the busi was of a. good trainer to break up all the awkward and unnatural gaits at (use, if it can be done. A horse of ordinary appear- ance will attract the attention of a buyer of good judgment quicker if he shows a good :quere gait, whether at a. walk or rrot, or whether it be a draught, carriage or driving horse,'_’then if he should present a fair amount of style, combined Wi(h a good an- pcarance otherwise, and have a lumbering, unpleasant, awkward gait. The proper thing, then, to do when first harms-sing a. young horse is to take the time necessary to develop a good. straightforward walk, with 11. good rate of speed. The walk is the foundation of all the other geits, and with- out beginning at the foundation all fufiure developments will be unsatisfactory. If it should take a. few weeks to get a young horse to feel comfortable in harness, and to establish a stride that will add to his ap- pearance and value, it is time well spent, it nothing else is done. After mising good horses it is foolishness not to give them the finishing touches that will make it e p'Chsul‘ to use them afterward. The publisher of the Dcutsche Ruadmhau stated to the German authorities: that Prof. Gefincke, of Hamburg, gave him the ex tracts from Emperor Frederick‘s din-y, and the professor has accordingly been arxcsted on a charge of revealing Scata secrets. It has been established beyond question that the ex’racts are authentic.

The New Jersey pear crop, says good Secretary Williams in the weeklv press, is nearly a total failure this year. One of the three largest pear growers in Essex County remarked recently that while they usually aggregated about 6,000 bushels nununllv between them, if they harvested 200 bushels this season it would be all he could expect, and they were so scattered that the gather- ing would cost more than they were worth.

The About three years ago I been feeding my cwvs cider apples. We gathered them and just before feeding them mu them through a. root-cutter which broke up all the big apples which might choke the stock. I found mom in n. few days improving in the quality and quantity of milk. Last year 1 repeated the feeding, having a large quantity of apples. After they were ex~ hausted I sent a team to the cider mill and drew a load of apple pounce and began feeding it, and found the stock quite as crazy for it as they had been for the apples. I continued it until 1 fed up a number of tons and found the cows increasing in milk and flesh about; the some as when fed on fresh apples. I led it to mvbeef cattle also, and to young stock, and saw a decided im- provement in their condition. The standard yield and weiiht of eggs from the different varieties of t 6 domestic fowl, according to the N.

A couple of plausible looking men are travelling through Ohio thee) days on a new swindling expedition. They are “well up" on the sheep question, and being rather homespun in their general walk and conver- sation, are wont to disarm suspicion. They are after lambs. They are devoted ex- clusively to breeding and selling lambs, but can never get as many as they can dispose of. Their game is, therefore, this: Tney sell a ram for $50 cash on the understand. ing that they will purchase at a good high figure all the lambs of his get the following seasons at weaning time. The sale is effectâ€" ed, the ram delivered and paid for, and the two frauds never turn up again there a second time. We learn from The MLhigan Farmer that this swindle has been success. fully perpetrated in various parts of the state. It is an open question in this as In all other instances of a similar kind which is most to be deplored the rmcality oi the swindlers or the rspacity 0: their victims. The Western Rural says: We mete man a few days ago in Chicago, who is engaged in the wholesale cracker business, and keeps three'tenms. In the course oftheconverss‘ion we lesrned he was formerly a. farmer, null finally the conversation tirned upon horses. He said he used tofeed corn altogether, and had more or less sickness nmong his horses, Now he fed no corn at all, and had not for years, and never had any sickness in his stables. Smietimes peo le appear to think that ii a. horse is wor ed hard, it must have corn. It is an error. Now these horses are driven from four o‘clock in the morning until sevon at night, and they look Well and feel well. In this connection we are reminded of an artizle that is going the rounds of the press, headed a “Camper Way to Feed Harses.” The article gins one man’s exparienca. He feeds twelve quarts of outs and twelve quarts of bran a day and he ssya that his horses are always in good flesh, in the best working order and in a. henlthy condition. Of course. The paper originally publishing the experience, talks as if it had got hold of a Very novel t‘iiug. Th it is the kind of feeding The Rural and Stool-man has been teaching for years.

Every man must realize that agriculture can only remain a profitable pursuit on the condition of yearly obtaining from every acre 8 maximum and cheap return, and that in order to succeed in this, he must restore to the soil those elements which it once contained, but which in the process of nonr- ishing the plants have been absorbed and taken away. The “ Connecticut Farmer ” says that S. M. Wells, of Wenhexafield, Conn., has a. seven acre lot of onions, and they have been niaed on this field for fifty years consecu- tively. For the past six years he has used fortilr'zars only, experience having shown him than there is nothintz better for this crop or any need of barn-yard manure in combi- nation with it.

Prof. Johnson inclines to think that ]i bushel of seed gives the beat yield. The old Clawson seems to retain, in good de- gree, those qualities which have made it popular for a longer term of years than most other varieties. Sheep growing for wool is most profitable in Colorado, New Max'ico, and other dis- tricts where no winter feeding is required. The sheep praferred are a. cross between the merino and the common mixed breed Ameri- can sheep. Under fwcrable circumstances the annual increxse of a flmk will amount to thirty per cent or more. An advocstc of pig pork declares that a young pig will produce mere live weight from a. given weight of focd adapted to its use than any other domestic animal. bk'un milk and meal, he says, are the most effec- tive rations fed. Middlinga is the beat sin- gle fond; cob meal, fine ground, is an effi- cient food, and equal to clear corn meal. A lady grange-essmyisz, of Maine, well says of farmers : “ Tney not only give us wheat for our breed, and all other needful things to eat, but they raise the very best crop of men, the noble, grext and Wis: men that have filled our union and the earth with the glory of their deeds.” The Agricultural eiitor of the N.

A farmer relates that he tried thJ experi- ment oiu light winter-mulch of etmw on his wheat. He could see no difl'erenoe between the portion mulcbed and than contintzuons which was not mulched, until near harvest time, when the difference in favor of the mulched pn‘tion WM very perceptible. and the yield of grain very much increased.
