AGRIOULTURZ. PUiouN IN SEBDs.-A thoroughbred animal-one, that is registered in the herd b ok and has therefore a pedigree -is the result of a series of generations of careful breeding. Such an animal has had certain characteristics fixei by the process of selection, and possesses the power of transmitting those clia - actei is1, just in proportion to the urity of the breedings and the time it as been carried on. An intelligent breeder of live stock looks as much to the history of an animal as to the ani tnal Itself, and Is satisfied only when both accord with his ideas of goodl points, and these brought Ina. way th at makes them her% ditary. When we come to plants, the, same laws hold with equal force and importance, but a pedigree is rarely insisted upon in the selection.or purchase of seeds.If the wheat Is plump and the corn is fuli and bright, tnat is sufficien!, and ques tions are seldom asked as to the 01e1hOd by which the plumpuess or brightness ha.s been obtained, Consider what a hostof new varieties of seeds are thrown upon the market every year, which ai e never heat d of alter their first sowing, because they are not the results of close breeding, and therelore have not the property of transmitting the quall ties peculiar to them. Pure seed shonid )4eau that whioh has resulted fron the in-breeding ota iarlety, for a suilMc ent lengtii of time, sb that the quanti ties have become ixed, and will be jerpetuated. There is a wide eld for toetO breeding, and in it our grains and grasses aay be greatly improved. A Herd Book of Blooded Corns sound very strange, but may it not be that a pedigree oi a "Dent," or aia "Ever green," can be established and the his. tory of It stated by sires and dams, lu nuoh the same way as these terms are uted in a herd book of Jerscys? Ir there is any mystery. about inak Ing a flock of sneep profitable it will find solitton In the advice "never to keep any poor ones."

It is very rare that at aly k0asoni a1 CveII Jot of good sheep can be bougnt, and in such cases the true policy Is to fatten early, or other wise dispose of the poorest. Doing this, the flock will improve in charac ter, and by the introductionl of' new blood be made decidedly superior.

Having had -unibeileuA inquiries for advertising cards frem ladies in all parts of the country who are interest, ed in the prevailing fashion- of making "Card. Collections," we' are having printed for them a set of seven beau ti ful cards each In six colors and on a gold background, in the very highest degree of art, illustrating Shaks'eare's "Seven Ages of Man," We have spared no expense in- thei cards-they are simply little art gems. Our only aim has beer to publish the finest cards yet shown. Applications tor them have come in so rapidly that nearly the whole edition is -engnged before the receipt by us of the cards from the artist. We have therefo'e been obliged to adopt the, following plan for the di. tribution of the remainder: No more of the gnlt Shakspeare cards, seven in the series, will be s'nt excepting upon the receipt of a statement from a grocer that the person applying for the cards has bought of him on.that day at least seven bars of Dubbins' Electric 8oap, with-price paid for same. Ali apply. Ing in this manner will receiVe the Iull seL of seven cards gratis by mail. Thli will insure us that our frienus and pa trons got their share of these beautiful designs, although it in no manner re. pays us for the costof the cards. Your grocer has the soap or will get It, ai.d the purchase by you -f seven bars of it at one time will secure for you gratis seven really beautiful cards. The soap improves with age, and Is an article of necessity in your house every week, Therefore you are not asked to buy a useless article, but one that you must have anyway. Please send us your applhcation at once, and tell your lady friends making "Card Collections," te do the same. Grocers do not have the cards to deliver. Buy the soap of them, send us their bill, and we will mail you the cards free. Yours respectfully, 1. L. CRAGIN & CO., 116 South 4th Street, Philadelphia, Pa. P.

"Asphalt" or Coal Tar- Walks.-The true Atphalt roads, such as one sees in Paris and other cities 0-ead, are made from a natural bitun. >us limestone found chiefly in Switazi land, and when properly laid forms perfect roads. In this country thore are several compa nies that put down roads, paths, Ride.. walks, etc., of compositions for which they hold patents, and if the. Ingredi ents of these were gIvein, one could not use them without Infringing upon the rights of others. A fairly good walk may be mile by uipatented met hods. Some of the towns in West ern New York and elsewhere, have long had side-walks made with coal tar and water-limne or cement. Though this makes a good walk, it is needl 8sly expensive, and, for garden paths, no better than the tar and sand. Equal parts of stand and coal ashes may be use I; sand alone, with the tar answers well, and we are Informed that coal ashes and tar without sand make a good walk. Thoogh this last has not come within our experience, we should not hesitate to try it. The sand use( should be perfectly dry, and the coal ashes have all cinders larger than a pea silted out. There must be some arrangement for beating the coal tar; no; only does it "we"> or come into more thorough contact wiLi the par ticles of santi, etc., when made fluid by heat,* but the boilliag drives oil some volatile matters, and it "tets" harder than whea used cold.
