They are good for cows 01 horses, but seem to be especially adapted & for the latter. Horse owners who can do so should grow carrots, and those who have not the proper land should buy enough carrots to give a ration every day through the winter. Give half as many oat6 as usual, and make up ^ the deficiency with equal bulk or car: , rots, and most horses during winter will improve in appearance. The carrots give the animals a sleek coat, probably i by helping the digestion. It is a diet of exclusively dry feed that makes the hair of many idle horses in winter dry and n harsh. If the horse is working he will need the full ration of oats, but should be given a ration of carrots beside each day.?Boston Cultivator. REARING TURRETS. Turkeys have the name of being delicate and difficult to raise, inconsequence of which they are not "often kept where they might be with advantage. Ia a suitable placd turkeys are one of the most profitable of all domestic poultry. They ire undoubtedly delicate if kept on damp soil, but where the ground is dry and the position not too exposed they will do well. A necessity to securing success is the provision of shelter for the young birds during that critical period known as "shooting the red." When about two months old, however the chicks are as hsrdy as other fowls and can brave the weather without injury. The prices obtained for prime turkeys and the heavy weights to which they can be forced to grow render them exceedingly profitable and well repay the extra care attendant on the chicks during the first two months of their lives. ? ' The varieties of turkeys recognized by tbo American standard of perfection are bronze, Narragansett, buff, slate, black and white. The black turkey approaches most nearly to the wild bird in color, is the most rapid in growth, quickest to fatten, and, according to some authorities, the heaviest of all. The Narragansetts and whites are the most domestic.?-New York World. r-; . ,CUBE FOB A BROKEN LEO. I j By the use of modern remedies almclt any injury to au animal's limb may jj e repaired. Broken legs can be mendj'd ' in the following manner: The animal is placed in slings so that the body can be supported in such a position that the feet f just touch the ground without bearing I any weight. The sling is made of some strong bagging sewn tirmly on to two poles in puch a manner that the cloth passes under the body, leaving the udder free, and is held in place by a strap around the neck and between the fore legs, and another around the breech to prevent slipping. The limb is brought into position and bandaged with a strip Of gunny bagging around the broken part. Other strips are then dipped in plaster of paris, calcined for use in plastering, and made into a thin paste. These are wound around the leg eight or ten times, and then covered with a dry bandage which is sown together. The bandage must not be wound so tight jy as to mteriere wun roc circulation, in an hour or two the bandage becomes quite stiff, and holds the fractured limb firmly. In three weeks it may be removed, but the unimal should be kept in * the slings a week or ten days longer, until the union of the bone becomes firm. ?New York Times. GOOD POINTS OF ALFALFA.'

One of the most notable events connected with the manufacture of iron during these years was the making of the great iron chain which in 1778 was istretched across the Hudson Kiver at "West Point to prevent the passage of British vessels. Lossing, ia his Field Book of the Revolution, gives a very interesting account of this work, of which we can quote only the leading ,facts. "The iron of which this chain was constructed was wrought from ore of equal parts from the Sterling and Long mines in Orange County. The chain, was manufactured by Peter Townsend, of Chester, at the Sterling Iron Works, in the same county, which were situated about twenty-five miles back of West Point. The chain was completed about ; the middle of April, 1778, and on the i ?.st of May it was stretched across the iriver and secured. It was fixed to huge .blocks on each shore, and under covcr of batteries on both sides of the river." t**It is buoyed up," saya Dr. Thacher, j writing in 1780, "by very large logs about sixteen feet long, pointed at the ends, to lessen their opposition to the | force of the current at flood and ebb ; tide. The logs are placed at short distances from each other, the chain carried [over them, and made fast to each by 'staples. There are abo a number of anichors dropped at proper distances, with cables made fast to the chain to give it .greater stability." The total weight of ; this chain was one hundred and eighty tons. Mr. Lossing visited West Point in 1848 and saw a portion of this chain, and he tells us that "iherearc twelve j links, two clevises, and a portion of a jlink remaining. The links are made ol iiron bars, two and a half inches square, Land average in length a little over two feet, a weigh about one hundred pounds each.'*?Popular Science Monthly. j The Rifle That Killed Cu3tcr. |; Of all my relics there is one that ] prize most highly, and that I would not part with for any price, saya General Miles.

Gravitation is a subject that nearly everybody is somewhat familiar -with, but there are some things about it that you nay not know. For instance, suppose you were weighed at the top of a deep coal mine, and afterward at the bottom, do you suppose that there would be any difference in the result? Yes, there would. You would be lighter at the bottom. If it were possible for you to go on downward 2000 miles in the earth, and there be weighed you would probably be surprised to find your weight only one-half of what it was at the surface ; and if you could go to the center of the earth you wouldn't weigh an ounce. This is because the center of the earth is the center of its attractive power, which is exerted equally in all directions. If you ascend from the surface of the earth, your weight will also decrease, but not in the same ratio as when you descend. In going upward the decrease will be in proportion to the square of the distance. Thus, while you would weigh nothing if you should go downward 4000 miles from the surface, you would still weigh one-fourth your actual weight if you could weigh yourself 4000 miles up in the air. The law of gravitation is at once the strangest and the most sublime m all nature. Light travels at the amazing rate of 186,000 miles in a second. There are visible stars so far away that if one were blotted out at this instant it would be seen on the earth thousan^p of years nence, uecause rays 01 ngm, auiruug now, -would take so long to reach us, ever: at the wonderful velocity at which they travel. But if a Dew star were now placed out there in the depths of space, where the blotted out one was, its attractive force would reach us instantly. That strange force which dominates the universe would at once be felt, though, of courserinappreciably, between the new star and our earth. Gravitation differs from all other forces in another respect. The intervention of bodies in the line of attraction makes no difference in the attractive force exerted. .For example, when the moon comes mxo direct line between the earth and the 6un, there is not the slightest difference in the reciprocal attraction between the two former. The enormous power of this attractive force is utterly inconceivable. "We are constantly^ reminded of the power j the earth exerts in pulling us downward, but think of the attractive power of a body like the sun, more than a million times larger thau the earth. And this power controls every speck of light that we see in the heavens.?Philadelphia Times. Mrr. Johu D.
