ALBEUT A.

IIOLTON, Mar. Clerk Superior Court. It is one of the easiest of gaits for both horse and rider. The single foot differs somewhat from the fox tret, and has lxen described as exactly I Intermediate ljetween the true tret and the true walk. Each foot appears to move Independently cf the other, with a sort of pitapat, one at a time motion, and it Is a much faster gait than the fox trot.

The rack is very nearly allied to the true iiccing gait, the difference being that in tjie latter the hind foot keeps exact time with the fore foot of the same side, making! It what has been called a literal or one ide at a time motion, while in the former the hind foot touches the ground slightly in advance of the fore foot on the same side. The rack is not as fast i gait as the true pace; but is a very desirable gait i in a saddle horse. In. addition, the perfect saddle horse should be able to trot, pace and gallop, and should Ikj quick, nervous and elastic In all his motions, without a particle of dullness or sluggishness in his nature. His mouth should Le sensitive, and he should respond instantly to the slightest motion of the rein in the liands of the rider.

A poor and clumsy rider, however, will soon spoil the best trained saddle horse in the world, and such a person should never permitted to mount a horse that is exceptionally valuable for that purpose. A 'plug" horse and a t4plug' rider may well go together; but keep a really good, well trained saddle horse for one who knows how to enjoy this most health giving, exhilarating and delightful of out of door exercise.

The use of natural gas as a fuel has, for some time, occupied the attention of scientists and capitalists, and it is quite iinie our young people should know how and where this gas is found. -m. A BURKIXO GAS TOLL. The accompanying cut shows the burning gas well which ws discovered in Findley, something more than one year ago.

Mr. Wright, in St. Niclulas. tells the following story about this well The gas was conducted 43 feet above the ground, through a Cinch iron pipe and when lighted the flame rose from 20 to SO feet above the pipe, as shown in the picture. The noise of the escaping gas is like the roar of Niagara and has been heard at a distance of five miles.

Tbe amount of gas furnished by this well is enormous, one estimate placing it at 40,000,000 cubic eet per day. As 1,000 cubic feet of gas require -for their production fifty ouml. of soft coal, it follows that the heat daily generated at this single burning wtl is equal to that which would be produced by the burning of l.OUO tons of soft coaL 1 The use of natural gas for fuel has rapidly increased of late years. The city of Pittsburg, now depends almost entirely upon natural gas for fuel. This gas, which arises from the decomposition of animal and vegetable matter embedded in the rocks, has as leen found in profitable quantities in comparatively small areas.

The region in which gas been' discovered is practical' embraced hi that portion of Pennsylvania west -of the Allegheny mountains and extending a very short distance into Ohio, Xew York ami West Virginia. All gas fields are in or near coal regions. Boring tor natural gas is very like luring for oil in nil its workings, but the after operations of necessary to raise the oil, are not required, for if gas le present it comes up of its own free will, and comes with a tremendous' rush. The discovery of these fountains of gas prove the wonderful ivserved stores of nature. The coal was formed long years ago, and now deep down in the earth have been struck heyast reservoirs of compressed gas.

In such a case the obstinate t-we may be confined between two small hurdles.

The ewe should be released at night. i I'rofit In Mul? mi iiierc is one oranen or stock, raisuicr which is I not by any means overdone, and that the raiding cf mules. "As the scope of "agricultural country in the United States increases, the the for animals suited for draft purposes, and is an acknowledged fact that many scctious the mule has friends as the horse for this object. The great in favor of mules arc their hardiness, endurance ar.d the with jvliich they cau be sold.

A Kentucky breeder, who has been engaged in raising mules for thirty years, makes the following suggestions: The raising of mules in Kentucky or the west is not profitable unless the animals produced Ikj of good size say from fourteen and one-lialf to liftcen and one-half hands high. The best jacks for this class of mules are not less than fifteen hands. Tho dams are of equal imjKirtaiice and should be improved blooded mares. 2Iulcsfrom sueh crosses' are the best seen in Kentucky and always command a good imcc. The mostj important improvement in jacks in the state of Kentucky ivas through the introduction of the well known Spanish jacksj Mammoth and Warrior.

These were imported from Spain between the jeat'S 18o.iand 18-10. These' jacks, at date of arrival, were valued at, and cost, each and were full sixteen hands higji. As breeders, they were remarkably line, and greatly improved the size of the jack stock by crossing on the common jennet of Kentucky. Later importations from the same source made additional improvle-ments, but none so decided as the two above named. According to estimates made by the United States agricultural department, the stats in Which mules rate highest is Xew Jersey, the next highest being in Maryland.

Texas has the greatest number of any state, and the animals are val-. ued at a lower price less than one-half the average value in Xew Jersey, for instance. Kentucky and Missouri show up well in this industry. The prejudice against the mule is an unjust one. For farm work and road hauling it exceeds all other animals; it is more! economical, is stronger, hardier, never gets sick, and, according to traditioTis, never dies.

Quality of Cows' Milk. As a rule, milk is richer in the fall and poorer in the spring. The quality of cows milk is not only affected by the age of the animal, but by the distance from ihe time of calving. Climate excites considerable influence on the qurdity of milk. In moist and temperate seasons a larger quantity, though generally a poorer quality, of milk is obtained than in dry warm seasons.

The race and breed, and size of animals of "course, exercises a powerful influence on quality of i i Variations in the composition cf milk are dependent also upon age and bodijy health. Professor Willard calls attention to the fact that, other things being equal, young cows yield a milk more rich Jn solids than do old cows, a view not adopted' by all American dairymen, some of whom believe that an old cow's milk is as good it not letter than a young one's. English dairymen agree with Professor Willard, and generally observe the rule of turning off their milch cows at from seven to eight yearsj of age. I (lood milk of average quality, according to Voelckdr, contains from 10 1-2 to 11 per cent, of dry matter and about 2 1-2 per cent. of pure fat.

It yields from 9o 10 per cent, of cream. Milk that contains more than 00 ier cent, of water and less than 2 per cent, cf pure fat is naturally very poor or has been adulterated. When: milk contains from 12 to 12 1-2 per cent, of solid matter and from to 1-2 per cent, of pure fatty substance it is rich; and if it contains more than 12 1-2 per cent, of dry matter and 4 er cent, or more' of pure fat it is of extra rich quality. Such'milk throws off from 11 to 12 per ceiitJof cream in bulk on standing for wen iv-four hours at (12 degs. as has Keii proven by the experiments of Professor Willard and others.

Lulille Horses ami Their Gaits. Tiio in demand for saddle horses, so apiKirent of late in the east, is felt all over the country, hence the subject of saddle horses and their gaits, treated by such acknowledged authority as The National Live Stock Journal, will doubtless prove of general interet. The gaits for a saddle horse are the walk. The fox trot, the single foot and the rack.j The alk is a gait undcrstWl by every bodv; but everybody does not understand' that a gxxl saddle horse ought to Ikj able to go a square walk at the rare of five miles an hour. The fox trot is faster than the square walk, and the horse will usually take a few s'icps at this gait when changing from a walk to a trot.

Science of Kail Splitting.

Almost any farm hand can split rails, but there is considerable science to be observed in the work. One man will rive them with ease, while another equally as stout will tug away and soon exhaust hi3 strength, with comparative small results. The reason, of this great disparity is in knowing bow to apply the tools. But considerable, advantage may be derived by an expert hand in having suitable tools. The best, maul to be used is made of a knot, and should be of medium weight, not too heavy to swing with ease.

One iron wedge, Iquitc slim, should be kept and used for1 starting the split; it i3 not apt to rebound, and if it should, it may be easily prevented by making a few checks with an axe near together, and starting the wedge between them, or by rubbing the wedge in dirt. Planters' Journal. Lifting; and Setting Posts. A convenient and desirable implement for taking up fence posts, says The Ameri can 1 Agriculturist, consists of -a stout pole I of the size and shape of a wagon tongue. A COXVKKIENT POST I TFT II.

The thickest part of this pole, for about fifteen inches from the end, is shaped into a wedge. This is sheathed with a frame made cf: iron half an inch thick and two and a half inches wide, and securely fastened with screws or bolts. TJic end should be pointed and rlighily bent upward. The manner of using this convenient implement is shown above in the illustration. Directions arc also given for setting a gate post so that the gate will never sag and catch on the ground.

Sometimes, owing to the soft nature of the soil, it is almost impossible to plant the post firmly. by ordinary means. The work may, however, be satisfactorily accomplished iby packing medium sized stones around the post in! the hole, as shown in the engraving. Then if it is thought that; this will not insure sufficient firmness add mm good mortar, WELL SET GATE POST. JL- lltUV All IV AtlJ of stones, then mortar enough to imbed the Jiext layer of stones, and so on tin-til the hole 'is full and the post planted.

Do not cover up the stones with earth or disturb the post for a few days until the mortar "set." Kemember that the post must be set plumb while the work is going on, as it can never be straightened after the mortar has "set." Only durable posts should le used, and this method of setting should only be followed with gate posts which are supposed to be permanent, and not with posts apt to be changed. Huh to Tell if Timber is Sound. The soundness of a log of timber may be ascertained by placing the ear close to one end of it, while another person delivers a succession of smart blows with a hammer or mallet npon the opposite end, 'when the continuance of the vibrations will indicate to an experienced ear even the degree of soundness. If only a dull thud meets the ear, he listener may Ik certain that unsoundness exists. Tilings Farmers' Tell One Another.

Stable manure, says Professor Chamberlain, of Iowa, is the best fertilizer on earth. ii. lh-ofessor Koberts favors a free use of cottonseed meal for cows, on account of its being a gotKl milk producing food and the fertilizing inopertics it leaves in the droppings, i P. I J. Berckman, Augusta, who has tested many varieties of strxiwberries, numl)crs the following rich sorts that thrive in moist soils: Sharpless, Wilson, Downing, Kentucky and Monarch of the West.

Mountain Hose, Old Mixon, Pi nock, Ileeves' Favorite and Stump re the cream of a long list of peaches certain to prcxluce crops wherever peaches can le grown at all. An experienced stockman tells that a ton of bran fed with two tons of hay is worth as much as four tons of hay fed alone to either horses, cattle or sheep. The feed cutter is necessary to make bran so profitable a feed. Vick says: "The practice of spraying apple orchards just after the fruit has set with Paris green or London purple is coming more and more into favor, as it proves to be effective for the destruction of the codlin moth, and with no injurious effects to fruit or trees."
