A correspondent of tho Ijondon Live Stock Journal writes : "In extremely painful operations on tho hnranu sub ject anaesthetics aro almost invariably employed. The patient is rendered insensible. This not only renders the operation painless, but nffonls the operator every fncility for conducting his work, in consequence of the per fect placidity of his subject. "It is ft sign of the times that chloro form is coming into use in operations on the lower animals s well. In the practice of gelding it has been freely adopted, nd with great success, by several veterinary practitioners during the last few years. "It is to be hoped tho system will becomo general. Licensed vivisec 1ionist8 ore instructed to use unaes thetics when conducting their investi gations. The time is probably not far off when humanitarians or rather 'benstarians,' as they have been called will be strong enough to pass a law that colts operated upon to destroy their fertility shall be duly chloro formed or rendered insensible by some other efficacious antesthetie. It would therefore be well if those who now op erate in the old fashion would pursue the new nnd better way so as to be prepared for future regulations. The administration of chloroform is ft simple matter in skilled hands and in expensive as well." RATSrXa FARM TEAMS. Farmers too often sell the beet horses and content themselves with any sort of a team on the farm as being of little consequence, nnd too often even sell good grade mares that would raise a fine colt and do better work than any other horse on the farm, but the buyer offers ft good price and the best producer on the farm is sold. English and French farmers have pure bred draught ninres to profitably do the farm work and raise a colt every year that pays the rent. Mr. McLuiu, at a Kansas Farmers' Insti tute, advocated breeding high class horses nnd having good teams on the farm. lie said : It is impossible to estimate the difference between a good and poor team on a farm. Ono means success, the other means failure. I am asked to soy which breed of hoises I con sider tho most promising to raise for Bale. I suppose, of course, they mean for the farmers iu this section, engaged, as they are, iu profitable farming. I would say that if one-half of tho farmers here kept an account and knew just what their horses cost them when grown and ready to work they would find that they have cost them more than they could lie sold for. I would say, for most farmers, to raise (if for tale) draught horses. My reasons are the following : 1. Early maturity.- Draught horses can be gotten on the market one year younger tuau a warm lilooueu horse. 2. They are easily broken. It takes less time to fit them for market. They do not require such perfect condition as a driving horse. 3. Then, too, if by chance they have a slight blemish they will pass muster where such a blemish would nnut driver for morket. 4. It don't require any more feed to raise a big draught horse than it does a smooth, warm blooded horse. Now, to snm up, I would say, if you rniHe horses at all raise good ones of some pure breed. I am anxious that our neighborhood should excel in everything. I am in favor of speciul farming. I think one-half of us ought to quit raising horses. Let thoso who do, raise a higher grade, of horses and raise them better and worth much more money than those we are now ruining. l he mongrel, mixed up breeds we have been raising must go. They ought to have gone twenty years ago. The little splinter skinned drivers are of no value so called varm blood. If you raise drivers raise horses sixteen hands high, weighing eleven to thir teen hundred pounds, thut can draw two persons in a buggy six to eight miles per hour without oppressing them. Life is too short and business too pressing to go plodding along the road after a plug horse. Webtern Agriculturist. MODERN HAY-MAKINO. On our large Western farms, where the hay harvest continues for uuy cou bideruble length of time, the four-foot mower has been replaced by one with u six or a seven foot cutter bar. The eight-foot rake has given way to one of twice the width. Other implements have been added. t'loier grows in such luxuriance iu the fertile Iowa hi. ll thut the tedder is indispensable. The luulir fcaves time and hard labor. Stac king in the open air bus proved to be a very ecihtly method of preserving huy, nnd our prairies are becoming thii'Lly dotted with huy Iiuiuh, into which the buy is placed by horse power. Jiiiiin hun supplanted brawn in .u greut measure, uud haying may now In, justly considered uu urt. liy utilizing thu improved machiuei'y, and following improed methods, one lnan cuu now do the work that formerly re quired two men. Where tho hay is placed on the waoa by a hay loader, and taken off wall a fork or l:ng, a good working crew for a largo farm consists of fonr men, and two boys ten to fourteen years old. With the wide cut-mower, it is not necessary to begin cutting bo fore 4 o'clock in the afternoon. This is easier for the horses, more comfort able to tho man who drives them, and much better for tho hay if it contains much clover. Enough can bo cut be tween 4 and fl o'clock to keep ahead of the wagons until tho next afternoon. One man doesthe mowing and tedding, and what little raking there is to do, and still has time to help considerably in mowing away the hay in the barn. Tho boys drive the wagons. Two men stay in the field and do the loading, and one stays at tho barn to manage tho horse fork and keep the hay mowed back. Three teams and one good horse are necessary, tho latter being use! nt the bnrn for unloading. When the boy comes in with a load, ho lends the horse, which is attached to the fork, t aking tho load off his wagon while the other ono is being loaded in the fields. The timo consumed in loading is little more than that for unloading, nnd this allows the man at the lwrn to scatter the hay in tho mow. Whether he can keep up this end of the work depends on tho distance to haul and the amount of hay in the barn. Hay is made very rapidly and cheap ly in this way. With the force men tioned there is very little time lost. Everything runs smoothly, and little energy is wasted. The hay is put in the barn at the rate of fifteen to twojit y tons per day, and at a cost of forty-fivn to sixty cents per ton, varying, of conrse, with tho weather. On tho farms of the Atlantic and Central States this tedder, loader and horse fork are com ing into increasing favor, but the av erage farmers of those regions manage tho work with two, or at most three, horses and two men. The tedder and the loader not only savo timo nnd money, but the hay is secured in much better condition. The tedder shakes the grass, and gives the air a chance to circulate through it, and dry it evenly and quickly, without burning. The loader follows, and takes the hay out of the swath, hence the leaves ore not shaken off, as when it is raked. Hay barns are becoming deservedly popular. No buildings on the farm so quickly repay the money invested. A good hay barn, holding fifty tons of hay, can be erected for one hundred to one hundred and twenty-five dollars, and not infrequently enough is saved by its use in one year to entirely cover the cost. The saving occurs in three ways. First, the time and labor saved during the harvest season, to say noth ing of the advantage of putting every load under a roof, and having no open stocks to be caught by sudden showers. Second, the elimination of the large waste on top and sides that follows stacking. There is practically no waste whatever with the hay barn. Third, the saving of labor in feeding the hay during the winter. This lar.t is a con siderable item, for it often means the board and wages of ono min during tho winter months. By putting a plain, strong manger or rack around the barn, one man can do the work of two work ing in the old way. American Agri culturist. FARM AVD GARDEN KOTOS. The Houghton is a good variety of gooseberry. Bnrley is one of the very best foods lor horses. For currant worms spray with white hellebore and water. Sugar beets are better than mangel- wnrzels for feeding stock. The hog is a good animal to keep in connection with the dairy. The clover crop is very valuable both as a feed and as a soil renovator. To avoid thumps diminish the amount of lood and give regular exercise. The Kiefer pear is commended for its keeping and canning qualities. Sheep would pay better if a superio: grade were kept. The trouble has been the inferior quality of the stock. Pinching back the new growth on the berry vines increases the hearing surface anil keeps the bushes low. Tho bees get a great deal of honey from the locust blossoms. The honey is of a pale red gold color, and keeps well. Many a low, marshy piece of ground can be made into a harvest field for the bees by planting willows, outers, or mint. Honey is an excellent article to re. tail, but it is always risky to ship. Hell in the home market whenever it is possible. A weak bee colony in the spring in vitcs robbers. Try to have all colonies uniformly strong when put in the cellar iu the fall. Ewes that have proved themselves good mothers, and especially if they produce twins, should be kept in the flock until they are at least five years old. Remember, that there is more profit iu cuttle, sheep and swine during the first mouths of existence than any sub sequent age. If au animal is stunted ut any time in its growth, no care and expense can compensate the loss. It is much easier to keep a sheep in good, thrifty order than to get it up in flesh again after it has grown poor. ltemetiiber, "a sheep well summered is hulf wintered," aud the reverse of this, a blieep well w intered is hulf sum. mered, is equally true. The "lamber," as the English call the mun who has charge of the flock ut luiubiug time, should be a kindly, utteutive, cool-headed, patient handler, aud in no case should be m a hurry. A fassy mun will always make mutter wo so instead of better. A bulb syringe aud warm soap audi should be used on every lamb that fails to have au cvueuutiou of the bowels six hour.s after it iH born.

SAVK THE TOCSO. The Journal of Hygiene publishes a sug gestive article, entitled "The Orcnter Tem perance," by Charles H. Shepard, M.

Thrae laws nnd forces the consumer of intoxicants defies, and though heredity fastens the un happy consequences of his self indulgent conduct upon succeeding generations.

The children ol to-day are the grandparents of the future. National Temperance Advo cate. EMOLi!CD'S DHI'MIBPS. The British Parliament has before it the report of n committee recommending n much more drastic method of dealing with drunk ards than British lnw now permits. This committee was appointed under tho Salis bury Government nnd hns nmonc it mem bers several eminent physicians and tho Superintendent of the Kroadraore Criminal Lunatic Asylum. 1'nder an act passed iu 1H79 there were established some retreats or reformatories for the treatment nud euro of drunkards who chose to go to them volun tarily. This committee finds that a consid erable part of the drunkards who enter tliesi reformatories aro cured and that more would be if thev remained lonirer : therefore. they recommend thut Parliament give magis trates the power to send these diasomaniacs to these retreats for a period not exceeding i wo vears. This commitment may be made on petition ol the relatives of the Inebriate or nt tb discretion ol tho magistrate, and It subjects inearuniiura to a rigorous illsclnlino and close confinement If necessary. A drunk ard may still be admitted to these re treats on his own petition, but once in he must stay tnero until discharged as cured. ne may select his own retreat, whether sen tenced or voluntarily going there, and such firoperty as he hns would Iw liable for his nu 1 lis family's maiuteiutune during his confine ment. The poorer classes are to be provided lor out oi me nunii '. treasurv or In nubile asylums.

It Is also proposed to give the police In the large towusund cities the power to arrest without n warrant nil persons found ijrinik on the public streets or iu public placet! and lock them up until they can be tried before n magistrate. these last suggestions of the committee are regarded as bold and almost revolutionary. for the right of tho llritou to ba drunk on tho streets has been regarded as au inalienable, one. Public sentiment is said, however, to approve tho recommendations of this com mittee, which are largely based on the legis lation In force In several of our States, and they are likely to lie enacted bv the Com mons, and probably by the Lords also.
