s iih; i , ! ! !.1 jtotft. Breeding to Climate. As wo continuo to import Kuropcan breeds, and to pass thorn onwrrd, further nnd still further AVcst, to now grazing lands and new eontrca ofstock breeding, the quostion how wo can best and soon est acclimatize those breeds, or produce from them sub-varieties suited to the climate of the now districts, must repeat edly, and oftpn with heavy emphasis, en force itself upon our attention. Sotno breeds, indeed, seem to own clastic constitutions, and can readily adapt themselves to many different soils and climates. Most breeds of cattle are apparently much less senitio than the avorago of shcop to tho influences of cntiro chango of climato and food. Horses, singly able to bear great varia tions of climato, often manifest tho in fluences of chango by somo degree of variation in their offspring, ana swine aro by no means exempt from such in fluences, although when brod and roaied under cover, they do not feel tho chango ro much as animals which find their sustenance mostly out of doors. Variation of typo may bo (it is, in fact, not uncommonly found to bo) great er in tho pure-bred descendants of im ported stock than in tho cross-bred de Hcondants of tho samo stock lineally tracing to native dams. TI19 pure-bred fouls tho chango of climate moro keen ly, and alters accordingly; tho grade has a eortain proportion of nativo, accli matized blood, and if not from a too powerful self-assorting, nativo stock, may inherit more of tho original character of tho puro-brcd than a really pure bred animal of n parallel generation from tho imported stock. This is no nr gument for mongrelism against purity, but thoro is before us, nevertheless, tho fact which brcedors should not overlook, that oven cross-brooding, in fully compe tent hands, is sometimes moro surely successful in its results than tho purest breeding in less competent hands, or undor adverso circumstances. When tho nowly-introduccd brood has, from remoto antiquity, a constitution accustomed to ono cvon climato, and ununited to tho very different climato into which it is brought, tho breed itself may alter in character beforo acclima tization can bo comploted. Yot it may bo crossed upon a nativo stock without nny groat loss of its dosirablo character isties. National Live-Stock Journal, Chicago. Testing Individual Cows. In listening to tho rcmarkablo stories afloat of tho productions of certain Jer seys, peoplo aro apt to forgot that a great producer may bo found in many herds supposed to bo very common. Dairy men know so littlo of their own cows, oxcept what they learn by massing tho milk of tho wholo hord together ; in de livering tho milk at tho factory, tho cows aro all lumped off together ; no cflort is mado to find out individual cxcellonco or individual worthlessnoss. Thoro aro fow herds of twonty cows that do not contain throo to iivo worthless cows that do not pay their keeping, although hav ing tho 8111110 caroiind cxponso bestowed upon thorn as tho lest. Wo havo often gioatly wondered at tho absolute uegloct of tho general dairyman to learn tho in dividual character of his cows. If ho knows of n cow that yields, through tho season, a lai go amount of milk, ho holds her of ety exceptional valuo, and still is not prompted to tako tho very small amount of labor required to learn tho yield d each cow in tho herd. With 11 pair of accuuito sj'miK scales (which most dairymen have) hung in tho stable, tho milk of each cow may bo hung on and weighed in a moment. A small book is kept with tho nanto or numbor of each cow in it, against which tho weight ot tho milk is placed. This weighing is done ono day in each week, say cm Wednesday. Tho&o several weighings lieing added together, and di vided by tho numbor of weighings, give 11 bufllciently nccurato avorago jieldof milk thiough tho sohkhi. And if tho dairy is kept wholly for quantity, being delivered at tho factory for ohevso this will bo all that is required. In a dairy of twenty cows, it has often been found that the profit was all paid by seven or eight cows, throo to live be ing kept at i constant lo, amounting homcttmos to (ho wholo profit on two of tho best cows. Theo poor cows must bo got rid of. It would bo better to give them away than to keep them. If they have been in tho hord throo years they havo eaten their heads oil'. Nation al l.iuvStoek Journal, Chicago. Spring care of Brscalnc Bows On many farms tho breeding sows are, perhaps, tho most profitable block. Hut tho profit is largely dependent upon tho wifo roaring of good-izod litters. Wo know so well how much depends upon practical esjH'rienco in tho safe reariug of largo litters, that wo shall not attempt to give minute instructions for tho nov ice in such cum?. It is recommended, for safety, if tho weather Ikj cold, to tako tho pigs from tho r-ow ns fast as they uro dropped, in a warm basket, to n warm room, and keep them warm till tho sow is ivady to suckle them. When thobow is done farrowing, a warm bran clop, with it gill of boiled ll ax seed tiirnxl in. should bo riven her. When sho has taken this, tho pigaj WILLAMETTE may bo brought to her to suckle, and they will usually commence their wor!i wilh activity. The sow must bo fed sparingly for a few days, so as not to produce or kcop up a feverish condition of tho hysteni. Hut when this danger is passed, she must bo fed with special reference to a largo secietion of milk. fanpposc she has eight pigs to feed, few have considered what a draft this is upon her systom. After they aro ten to twelve days old, they will drink threo pounds of milk each per day. This will require thosow toproduco 24 pounds per doy as much as an ordinary cow. To do this, hho must be fed on tho most nu tritious food. Tno hundred pounds of oats, and ono hundred pounds of corn, ground together, with one pint of lin- tecd oil-meal added to each day's feed, tho wholo cooked, and given in a thin slop, will bo as good 11 diot as can bo found. National Live-Stock Journal, Chicago. Feeding Sheep. It is well known that good, steady feeding gives an oven fibre to tho wool, and that poor focding, oven for a fow weeks, changes the fibre, and produces what is called a "break" in tho wool. Uniformity of feeding is most important to tno oven quality 01 the wool. Poor pasture should bo counteracted by extra feedingat once. Uniformity in feeding is tho most important point in wool growing. All good feedors know tho effect of sudden change in feeding on wool, but it would bo an interesting point to study tho effect of yolk upon tho wool during a period of poor feed ing. An excessive amount of yolk might bo supposed to furnish pabulum for tho wool during this lack of full ra tions. National Live-Stock Journal, Chicago. I11 speaking of tho recent rains, a Yakima exchange says : Tho rain of the last week has arrived too lato to do crops any good and just in tinio to af ford somo damage to hay. Somo crops that wcro well irrigated will turn out fairly: it may be said that this has been an exceedingly poor ciop year for Yaki ma, as many fields will not average half an ordinary crop, while a few wilt not ovon justify harvesting. This is unfor tunate, but wo must take consolation in tho fact that stock is looking unusually well, that hops are likely to command a good prico and that prospects aro favor ablo 111 other matters in which wo aro interested. Spider Life and Wonders. Of spidor life and wondors Frofessor Wood tells us as follows : The female is larger and much fiercer than tho male, who, whilo paying his addresses, is in constant poril, frequently losing some of his logs. In one tribo the female is 1,300 times as large as tho malo. The Bpidcr'sthrcad is made up of innumer able small threads, or fibres, one cf these threads boing estimated to bo ono two millionth of a hair in thicknoss. Throo kinds of thread aro spun : Ono of great strength for tho radiating or spoko linos of tho web. The cross-linos, or what a sailor might call tho rat-lines, aro finer, and are tenacious, that is, they havo on thorn little specs or globules of a vory sticky gum. Theso specs aro put on with oven interspaces. They aro set thickly along tho lino, and aro what, in tho first instance, catch and hold tho legs and wings of tho fly. Onco caught in this fashion, tho prey is held securo by threads thrown over it somewhat in the manner of a lasso. Tho third kind of silk is that which the spider throws out in a mass or flood, by which it sud denly onvclops any proy of which it is somewhat afraid, as, for example, a wasp. A scientific! experimenter once drew out from tho body of a singlo spidor 3, ISO yards of thread, or spider silk a longth a little short of three miles. Silk may bo woven of spider's throad. and it is moro glossy and bril liant than than that of tho silk worm, being of a golden color. An enthusi astic entomologir.t secured enough of it for tho weaving of a suit of clothes for Louis XIV. It is said, no doubt truly, that hatched chickens in June, and subsequent warm weather, do not pay well, on account of orniin,tho lateness of tho season, and tho failure of tho pullets to lay beforo the following wason. Kggs and fowls aro marketed inoutly in tho winter, as we all know, and generally bring tho best price, lvalues being most easily market ed at this season. Moral: Kiule-ivor to liiwo your chickens hatched early in the year, and dispose of tho lato hatched a; bpeediiy as practicable. A farmer whilo engaged in repairs about his fence caught a largo door tick, raised a small splinter and put the tick under it, where it was held in place, hut vigorously clawed nvy id a fruitless effort to extricate ifeolf. The next sum mer tho farmer found himself at tho samo place and mado inquisition for his tick, and there it was clawing away us it hail been tho year before. This was a farmer's story, and ever body kuows how truthful farmers are. Syruo ot rut. Nature's own true laxative.

Of tho many millions who daily uso eggs, how few know anything of their for mation or structure, and yot, small as it is, its mechanism is wonderful. As everyone knows, says an exchange, it is composed of yolk and white in a thin mombrano, all enclosed in a shell very brittle and of various colors. Tho yolk is composed of blood assimilated through tho working powers of the hen and a proportion of oil drawn from the grain sho cats. Tho white is a thick mucilage derived from the green or vegetable por tion of hor daily diet, whilo tho mem brane or skin is mado from the woody, fibrous substance of tho same. The yolk, or ova grow in a cluster on tho spine and pass through a tuft of soft skin between tho lungs and tho kidneys, ono being formed every twenty-four or thirty-six hours whilo the hen is laying, which is encased in a very thin skin. On the maturing of tho yolk this skin breaks letting it drop into the mouth from fif teen to twenty inches, consisting of three divisions, tho terminus of each being an elbow. Tho inner side of this canal is very soft and pliable, being composed of folds lapping partially over each other, tho last division being very much finer in texture than tho others. Whilo pass ing through the first division the length of which is fivo inches, tho yolk makes three distinct revolutions and the white is put on in tho same number of layers. In the second, tho samo length as tho first, the yolk, with the white around it, gets its shape from the rotary motion of its courso ; and also the membrane which encloses it ; whilo in tho third division tho shell is received, which is a thin fluid in color to suit tho breed At thj turn ing of this division the duct is globe BhapcJ, and hero the egg turns and comes out big end or head first. Tho egg is fertilized by tho influence of tho male bird which passes through a small duct along tho spine of the cluster of small ova. The yolk is suspended in tho center by two spiral cords, ono end being fast ened in tno membrane lining tho shell Theso cords are laid "right and loft handed," thus holdiDg it with the heavy sido down, no matter in what position the egg may be held or placed. The chick is formed entirely from the white, and hero we see tho uso of the threo revolutions, in the first division. Tho first layer forms the bone and sin ow, the second the flesh, tho third the skin and feathers. The first part formed is tho eyes, appearing as two black specks one on each side of tho suspending cord at the largo end. Next the skull bono between, and in order the neck, spine, logs and wings. At nine days there is a complete circulation and life, and at fourteen days the white is all taken up. The cords have now made a connection in the stomach and protrude from tho navel in a number of blood vessels and encloses tho yolk in net work of smaller ones, and through theso tho chicks draws its nourishmont from tho yolk, transformed jo its original sub stance blood. After'the shell is crack- ednnd tho chick has gained strength, theso two largo blood vessels draw into tho belley what remains of tho yolk, the navel is closed, tho courso is all clear, aud having cracked the shell all around, tho littlo creature gets its head against ono end and its tiny feet against the other, tho, parts separate, and out rolls tho chick. Nothing moro interesting can bo imagined than closely observing tho process of incubation in its various stages, and tho mind is deeply impressed w'ith tho power of tho Great lleing "Who docth all things well." Gapes in chickens, as probably most porsons do know, and everybody should, is caused by the presence of threadlike parasito worms in tho windpipe, which by irritating tho inner mombrane, cause tho spasmodic action called gapes. Un less theso parasites are dislodged tho disoaso usually ends fatally, Cipecially in very young chickens. When tho disease is general in considerable flocks, fan li gation is very efl'ectivo. This may bo accomplished ith sulphur or carbolic acid. Caro must bo used, however, or the chickens may bo suffocated. Tobacco smoke blown into tho throat through a pipo stem has been ellectually used in getting rid of tho parasites. Snuff in jected into tho nostrils has been used with success. So has a foather mois tened with turpentiho thrust into the windpipe; aud a horso hair doubled, in serted into tho windpipe, twisted around and drawn out will bnuR tho worms up. Some of theso remedies should be used as soon as ono or moro chicks begin to gape. Care should be taken to destroy the worms. "How is it," asked Mr. Hayeeil, "that so many writers in tho newspapers aro called Edward!" "Don't know," replied tho reporter, "Why do you ask?" "Be cause almost every paper 1 read has something in it signed uy an Ed., and they must bo bright fellows, too; they arv always telling gonerals how. to fight, nil captains how to steer, and cooks how to cook, and fiddlers how to tiddlo, and all them important things, you know." There aro lan;o profits from poultry intelligently cared for, but the greatest profits in poultry keeping arise from three or four eesentials knowledge, ex perience, adaptation and especially mar ket facilities.
