The Chicngo Times has a few truth ful paragraphs describing bincy far mers, which read an follows : Mo class of men have been rcdi cincd so much, and none have doiio so much good, ns those who arc denominated fancy fanners. They have been, in all times and countries, the benefactors of the men who have ( rented i hem with derision. They have been to farmers what inventors have been to manufacturers. They have experimented lor the good of the world, while others have simply work ed for their own good. They tested theories, while others have raised crops for market. They have attached a dignify and glory to the occupation of farinin'g it never bad before. Fan:;)' farmers have changed the. wild boar into the Suffolk and Berk shire; the wild bull of Britinn into the short horn; the mountain sheep, with its lean body and hair fleece, into the Southdown and the Merino. They brought up the milk of cows from pints <o gallons. They have lengthen ed the sirloin of the bill lock, deepen ed the udder of the cow, enlarged the hum of the hog, given strength lb the shoulder of the ox, rendered liner the wool of the sheep, added flccLncss to the speed of the horse and made beautiful every animal that is kept in the service of man. They have im proved and hastened the development nfall domestic animals, till they hard ly resemble the creatures from which they sprang. Fancy farmers introduced irriga tion and under draining, grinding ami cooking food for stock. '1 hey brough*, guano from Peril; and nitrate of soda from Chili. They intaoduced and domesticated all the plants* we have of foreign origin. They brought out the theory of rotation of crops a na tural means of keeping up and in creasing the fertility of the soil. They first ground up gypsum and bones, sind treated the latter with acid to make manures of a peculiar value. They first analyzed soils, as a means of determining what was wanted to increase their fertility. They introduc ed the most improved methods of raising and distributing water. Fancy farmers, or fancy horticul turists, have given us all our varities of iiuils, vegetables and llowers. A fancy fanner in Vermont, a fcivyears iigo, niiginnted the Early R..se pota to, which added millions of dollars to the wealth of our country, and proved lo be a most important accession in every part of the world where it was introduced. Another of these fancy men originated the Wilson struwberv, and another, the Concor? I grape. It was a fancy farmer brought theOsagc orange from lexas to the Northern Slates. Among the men in this countrj who were classed ns fancy fanners at an early day, were Washington, Jeffer son, Franklin and Livingston. The first introduced mules; the second, the cultivation of improved rice; the third, the use of land plaster, and the fourth, the raising of lucerne. More than any men of their time did they add to the wealth of the country. After them came another race of fancy fanners, who introduced Arabian horses, Spanish sheep, and the improved breeds of English cattle, and swine. These fancy fanners add ed immensely to the wealth of the practical fanners of the country. PltOTMCTIXf! IIoRSKS KK'OM Fl.IKS.? A French pharmaceutical chemist bus discovered a way to protect hor ses from the attacks of flies, according to a London medical paper. IP's invention consists in rubbing the horses, especially on the. part most subject to attack, with a little con centrated oil of laurel. There is not the slightest danger in its use, and the cost is said to ho very small Another rcpcllant suggested by the same por t-on, is a solut ion of sixty (Iratnme.i (ono pound and live ounces avoirdu pois) of hssalVciida in two glasses of water, and one of vinegar. If horses be well washed with this, not a fly will settl" upon them, ns the odor of the assafmtida drives the Hies away. This drug has no dclctcrohs qualities as an external application, and may be used unhesitatingly. Consumption of Horsk Fi.ksit in Paims.?In 18(50, the first market for the sale of horse flesh was opened in Paris. In 1^7-1, the. Parisians con sumed 0.059 horses, I0t"> asses, and '29 mules, which yielded 1.295,520 kilos ol meat, exclusive of the hearts, tongues, livers, etc. Un the 1st of January, 1875, fifty markets for the sale of horse flesh existed in Paris. "Bt other, why don't you ask the stranger to pray ?" ''Because,' re provingly observed the deacon, 'this ain't no place for practical jokes. That man's tho President of a gas company." The Troubles of a Somnambulist Mortimer J*. Loomis is nowono of tbe most violent of the denunciators of railroads monopolies. Since bis last adventure on tbe cars be hates a railroad woisc than an Arapahoc Iudian hates a bald headed Shaker. Loomis lots lits of somnambulism occasionally, and at such times he has an uncontrollable tendency to wander into dangerous places. More than once he had been surprised on waking to find himself roosting on the comb of the roof, or hanging head foremost down the well, with one leg around the bucket handle. He went out to Pittsburg a few days ago, and when he entered the sleeping car the thought struck him that he might get to prowling about in the night while, asleep, and walk off the platform into the better world. So he went to the hrakeman und gave him a dollar, with strict instructions, if he saw hi tu walking around the car in his sleep, to seize him ami force him back at all hazards. Then Loomis turned in. About two o'clock Loomis awoke and as the air of the car seemed stilling, hn determined to go out on the platform lor a fresh breath or two. Just as he got to the door the vigilant hrakeman saw him. grabbelt him floor*, d him and held down. When Loomis recovered bis breath, he indignantly exclaimed, "You im mortal ass! What d'yotl mean? Lein me get up, I tell you; I'm as wide awake as you sere.'' Hut that myrniidun of a grasping corporation put another knee on Loomis, breast and insisted that Loomis was asleep; and then he called another brukenmu and, after a terrific struggle, during which Loomis received bumps and blows enough to wake tin Egyptian mummy that had been dead for six thousand years I he rail road man jam med him into a berth, put ten trunks and eight carpet-hags on him, and then sat on him to hold him until morning. The first thing Mr. Loomis ask eil for when he arrived at I'ittsburg was a respectable hospital where they cured the temporarily insane. He thinks his reason was partially de throtted by his efforts to comprehend how that hrakeman could have the face to ask 'him for another dollnr because of the trouble be gave him during the night.?
