At last the children's stomachs began to swell and the father thought they would die. He then killed the dog, which they ate. They start! to cross the mountain to another house but being thinly clad and without shoes, they were compel led to retreat on account of the snow. The water finally subsided until they were able to get to the house and get a sack of flour, which kept them from starving un til relief came. Nearly all their property was destroyed. ' WASHISGTON.

Mr. James Howard, on the phys iology of breeding deemed the fol lowing points fully established in breeding : 1. That from the male parent is mainly derived the external struc ture, configuration and outward characteristics, also the locomotive system of development. 2. From the female parent is de rived the internal structure, the -f t orrn r..i j mtu.J, ,-r,-wi,jn the constitution, temper ana nauu, in which endurance and bottom are included. 3. That the purer the race of the parent, the more certainty there is of its transmitting its qualities to the offspring; say two animals are n,0fOil if one is of purer descent than the other, he or she will ex ercise the most influence in stamp- 1 ing the character of progeny, par ticularly if the greater purny is ou the side of the male. 4. That apart from certain dis turbing influences or causes the male, if of pure race, and descend--tryni-a 'sroTTR orj.niform color, stamps the color of the offspring. 5. That the influence of the first nn frequuullij n ' aot ed beyond the birth of the off- spring of which he is parent, and his mark is left upon subsequent progeny. 6. That the transmission of dis ease of the vital organs is more certain if on the side of the fe male, and diseases of the joints if on the side of the male parent. ALFALFA. It has been demonstrated beyond a doubt that it is a crop peculiarly adapted to this climate. It is easi ly raised, yields from three to five tons to the acre and sometimes more, two or three cuttings being made during the season. As many farmers are turning their attention more and more to the raising of stock, and less to wheat growing, and will therefore seed a portion of their land to alfalfa, a few words concerning the preparation of the soil, the sowing of the seed and caring for it, will not be out of place at this time, when the weath er is favorable to the work. See that the ground is in the best possible condition for irrigat ing, there must be no ridges or dead furrows in other words the surface should be as even as possi ble; this is exceedingly important as no leveling can be done after the alfalfa is up. Sow the seed as soon the frost is well out of the ground; the writer prefers broad cast sowing and then harrowing well, as the seed is more certain to come up. If put in with a drill, the land should be plowed in the fall, for if plowed in the spring, the seed is apt to be put in too deep, so that it rots in the ground. Two inches is deep enough, and not less than twenty-five or thirty pounds of seed to the acre, in order to choke out as many weeds as possible. Plenty of water will be needed the first season, in order to give it a good start. The thick er the stand, the better the quality and larger yield to the acre, and less waste in feeding; where the stand is thin the plant is coarse and woody. It is well to sow again lightly the second season in order to fill up the bare spots that are always to be found. Keep it thick and the hay will alwpys be of fine quality. Do not cut until the al falfa is in blossom as it is not ma tured until then. Rake when thor oughly cured, and only in the morning or evening, to avoid leaves falling off. In this way there is little waste, and will be better relished by the stock.--Portland Spirit & Farmer. STOCK BRANDS.
