The sun Is low;
Ton icak of mow
It purpling with the sunset glow;
The rosy light
Makes richly bright
The JuDgfrau'tvell or snowy white.
From va!r that sleep
Night shadow a creep
To take possession of the steep;
While, as they rise,
Tlie western sklrs
Seem loath to lea re so fair a prize.
The light of day
Yet loves to stay.
And round t hat peat ly summit play;
How fair a sight.
Yon plain or light.
Contended for by day and night I
Now fainter shines.
As day declines.
The lustrous height watch be resigns;
Tlie shadows gain
Th' Illumined plain.
The Juugfrau pales, as ir In pain.
Though daylight dies.
The azure skits
.Seem gllttirlng with a thousand ej ri.
Which watch with grace,
From depth of apace.
The sleeping Jungfrau'ti lovely face.

Along the skies

The rosy blush
And timid flush,

Are pure and fair,

Her varying suitors homage pay.
And tinged with rote.

ICegularlly lu Feeding.
It i.s very comfortable in cold weather
to sit by a warm fire. Many who have
the care of stock dislike to leave warm
quarters, and cling to the lire-place, let
ting half hour after half hour pass by,
while the hungry stock are shivering
and hungering for food and water. In
thus waiting for food and water, an
animal loses flesh rapidly. Brutes are
the best time-keepers in the world.
They know the very minute their food
should be supplied, and are disappointed
if it does no come. The good stock
breeder, therefore, should see that regu
larity and promptness prevail in the
care and management of stock. Their
various wants should have attention at
the very minute daily. If hired men
will not be prompt in taking care of
stock, if they don't sympathize with
brute: in winter, they ought to be dis
charged and more humane men em
ployed in their places.
Another Kerned? for Hof; Cholera.
A simple cure for hog cholera, says
our contemiMirary of tlie Kentucky Live
Stock liccord, is an infusion of- pencil
tree leaves and small twigs in boiling
water, given in their slop. Teach leaves
:ire laxative and they probably exert,
to a moderate extent, a sedative influ
ence over the nervous system. They
have been used ;is a worm destroyer
with reported success. They have also
been recomnwhded as an infusion for
instability xof the bladder, in sick
stomach and whooping cough. Cases
otlHial poisoning from thdfuse in
"'-ChJllF8a-a?e-0i record, as peach leaves
contain prassic or hydrocyanic acid,
but as it is almost impossible to poison
ahog, their use would not be objectiona
ble. The specific is worth a trial.
Holland Cattle.
It Is natural to expect, that with a
humid climate .and a soil generally al
luvial, Holland ought to have a breed
of cattle to correspond, and that milk
ing rather than fattening qualities
ought to be the predominating charac
teristics of that nice. Such is found to
be the case in practice. Dutch cows
are large and heavy; are excellent
milkers, and put up flesh readily. It is
a curious custom of the country, that
while the milking qualities of the local
nice are not so excellent as in former
years, the farmers pursue a strange
method for upholding these. They give
as little nourishment as possible to the
calves, in the belief that this plan pre
vents precocity in running up fat
They send the heifers to the bull when
very young, and pending the period of
gestation the animal is liberally fed.
The average yield of milk of a Dutch
cow is about 060 gallons per annum, and
oftentimes as much as 850; the propor
tion of butter is about five per cent
The average weight of a fat cow is
from six to nine cwt The construc
tion of the sheds is curious. The build
ing consists ordinarily of double stalls,
the separate space is filled with straw
and grape stems in summer, which di
minishes thus the excessive heats of
that season; there are also apertures ten
feet from the ground for the admission
of fresh air. In winter the space be
tween the walls is filled with turf, and j
only so much air admitted as is required
for ventilation. The" apertures are
provided with green curtains to exclude
insects and excess of light The cattle
are partly grazed, and partly house-fed,
and there is a decided objection to the
introduction of other races- Durhams
for example for crossing purposes.
Besides, Holland claims to be the cradle
of the Durham breed. Improvement of
races is kept up by the scientific selec
tion of the best specimens of local
breeds.
Bow to Keep Hoes Healthy.
A correspondent of ColmarCs Rural
World says: About five millions of
hogs were slaughtered the season that
has -"it closed. This is about one hun
dred and twenty thousand head more
than were slaughtered in 1875. Proba
bly no farming business is paying better
at the present time, than hog raising.
It behooves farmers to begin now to
make arrangements to produce a.good
lot of hogs for fattening purposes for
the fall of 1877. It will pay to get good
hogs, to take goodcare of them, and
use every precaution to Keep mem in
perfect health. If one has scrawny,
slily pigs or hogs hanging around the
f cinlMB, he Bhould knock them in the J
bead for they will infect the balance
or have a hospital in which they can be
put, and fed and medicated separately
from the balance; and keep them there
till they become thrifty. "We have no
doubt that hundreds of thousands of
hogs that have died the past season,
might have been saved if a few sickly
scrawny, ailing hogs had been killed
before they contaminated tlie rest
The very moment a farmer discovers
anything the matter with a pig or a hog
on his premises, he should kill it or sep
arate it from the herd. If this practice
is followed, there will be very little loss
by hog cholera, so called, or any other
disease. "VVheatever the disease is that
has carried off our hogs, it is as conta
geous as the measleu or small-iox, and
the very first symptoms of anything
wrong with a single animal, should in
duce the farmer to use the greatest vig
ilance to keep unhealthy hogs away
from the balance of the herd.
Training- Fnrphenl Ig.
In the wool growing districts of South
America it is no uncommon thing for
dogs to take almost the entire care of
sheep. They will often tend a flock,
that is a mile or two away from any
habitations. The method of education
consists in separating the puppy while
very young from the bitch and in keein
ing him away from children and from
other dogs. A ewe is held three .r four
times a day for the little creatures to
suck, and he Ib allowed a nest of wool
to sleep in. "When a few months old he
is castrated, from which time there is
little disposition to associate with his
kind. In times of danger one of these
dogs will bark and thesheep will gather
round him. He will leave the flock
two or three times a day to go to the
house for ineat At these times he is
liable to be set upon by other dogs, but
he will doyour his food quickly, orr
taking it in his mouth, will run back to
his woolly associates, who will gather
round him. If wild dogs pursue him
they will run away when they see him
1 surrounded by sheep, perhaps from a
confused notion thatthe harmless sheep
can afford him aid; such, at least, is
the opinion of intelligent travelers and
naturalists. Wild dogs know that mut
ton is good eating, aiid a flock with
which there is no dog will run at their
approach, but when they see a flock
standing resolutely around a dog, they
somehow get the idea that it is danger
ous to go near them. Dogs in South
America are taught to bring sheep to
the field when a horn is biown, and are
even trained to bring them in without
a signal on the going down of the sun.
Principles or Breeding.
We often hear people talk jis if it
were an easy matter to originate a new
race of domestic animals by taking a
cross between two races or breeds. Not
many years ago it was often maintained
that we ought to build up an Ainuricaii
breed of cattle in this wuy, by many
intelligent farmers, who suppused they
knew what thewere talking about
It ought always to be kept inmiful that
races have a, fixity of type which is
transmitted irom parent to offspring.
and this offspring so closely resembles
the parentSjjarJien-thcy both are of the
WSSh race that no one familiar or con
versas'. with that particular race would
ever mistake it as belonging to another
or different race. And yet the offspring
will not once in ten thousand times bo
precisely like either of the parents.
The individual will vary, although at
the same time he may be a perfect
specimen of the race. No short horn
breeder would for a moment dispute the
"juirity of blood" in Starlight 2nd : nei
ther Avould he dispute it in New Year's
Day, E. Hikim, or Crusader. Those
bulls had all ;ind each of them the physi
cal characteristics of the thoroughbred
Shorthorn; but at the same time no
two of them were precisely alike they
were true to the nice, but varied as in
dividuals. Any two races will be prolific with
each other, but a third or new race can
not be formed from two old ones or two
already in existence ; tins has been tried
repeatedly and never yet succeeded ; tlie
progeny will revert to one or both the
original types of race3. All that can be
done in the shape of improvements is
to develop aptitudes, and have these
become so well developed in.a series of
generations that they will belong to
and become hereditary as transmissable
qualities. The hereditary transmission
of form is one thing and belongs to race,
and the transmission of qualities is an
other thing and belongs to intelligent
breeding and care.
These difficulties ought not te dis
courage us from constant effort for the
improvement of our stock: it is true,
but they should have the effect to con
trol and guide our experiments into
practical channels and to accept some
things as settled. N. E. Farmer.
Prof. Proctor's Belief in Sea Monsters.
The sea serpent has long been re
garded by most persons as simply a gi
gantic fraud. Either the object which
appeared like a sea serpent wa3 some
thing altogether differentia floating
tree entangled in seaweed, the serpent-
ine outline of distant hills half lost
under a scudding haze, a row of leap
ing porpoises, or, if a single living crea
ture at all, then one of a known species
seen under unusual and deceptive con
ditions or else the circumstantial ac
counts which could not be thus ex
plained away were concoctions of false
hood. Yet as the naturalist Gosse, long
since pointed out in his curious essav
on -The Great Unknown." it is alto
gether unlikely that men know all the
forms of animals which exist in the
ocean, and the antecedent probability
against the theory of the existence of
creatures such as the great sea serpent
has been described to be is not sufficient
to outweigh the evidence which has
heen given respecting such creatures.
No one who has read the account -riven
by the officers and men of the Daedalus,
for instance, can for a moment suddoso
that they trere deceived in any of the j
F way9 ingeniously Irnatfned; we must
assume that they sll told untruths
before we can reject the belief that some
as yet unknown sea creature was seen
by them. That creature may quite pos
sibly not have leen a sent properly
so calhd ; the picture drawn by one of
the midshipmen may have leen incor
rect in details (as Professor Owen in
sisted it must have been); but unless
the whole affair was a fraud, a sea ani
mal was seen which had all the apiear
ance of a gigantic serpent
And the idea of fraud in such mat
ters is not nearly so reasonable as many
seem to imagine. Travelers are some
times said to tell marvelous stories;
but it is a noteworthy fact that in nine
cases out of ten the marvelous stories
Of travelers have been confirmed, lien
ridiculed the tile, brought back by those
who had sailed far to the South, that
the sun there moves from right to left
instead of from left to right as you face
his midday place; but we know that
the:ie travelers told the truth. The
first account of the giraffe was laughed
to scorn, and it was satisfactorily
proved that no such creature could
possibly exist. The gorilla would have
been jeered out of existence but for the
fortunate arrival of a skeleton of his at
an early stage of our acquaintance with
that preH)ssessing cousin of ours.
"Monstrous cuttlefish were thought to
be monstrous lies, till the Alecton, in
1801, came upon one and captured its
tail, whose weight of 40 jound3 led
naturalists to estimate the entire weight
of the creat ure at 4,000 iounds, or nearly
a couple of tons. In 187.5, again, two
fishermen encountered a gigantic cuttle
in Conception Bay, Newfoundland,
whose .arms were about 35 feet in length
(the fisherman cut off from one arm a
piece 25 feet long,) while its body was
estimated at (JO feet in length and 5 feet
in diameter so that the devil-fish of
Victor Hugo's famous story was a mere
baby cuttle in comparison with the
Newfoundland monster. The mermaid,
again, has been satisfactorily identified
with the manatee, or 'woman fish,' as
the Portuguese call it which assumes,
says Captain Scoresby, 'such jiositions
that the. human appearance is very
closely imitated.'
"As for the stories of sea-serpents,
naturalists have been far less disposed
to be incredulous than the general pub
lic Dr. Andrew Wilson, for instance,
after speaking of the recorded observa
tions in much such terms its I have
used above, says, Ve may then affirm
safely that there are many verified
pieces of evidence on record of strange
marine forms having been met with,
which evidences, judged according to
ordinary and common-sense rules, goto
prove that certain hitherto undescribed
marine organisms do certainly exist in
the sea depths.'
As to the support which natural his
tory can give to the above proposition,
zoologists can but admit' he proceeds,
the correctness of the observation.'
Certain organisms, and especially those
of marine (e. g. certain whales), are
known to be of exceedingly rare occur
rence. Our knowledge or max ine reiw
tilla is confessedly very small; and,
best of all, there is no counter objection
or feasible argument which the natur
al isL can offer by way of denying the
above proposition, ne would be forced
to admit the existence of purely ma
rine genera of snakes which possess
compressed tails, adapted for swimming
and other points of organization admit
tedly suited for a purely aquatic ex
istence. "If, therefore, we admit the possibil
itynay, even the reasonable probabil
itythat gigantic members of these
water snakes may occasionally be de
veloped, we should state a jwwerful
case for the assumed and probable ex
istence of a natural 'sea-serpent' We
confess we do not well see how such a
chain of probabilities can be readily set
aside, supported as they are "In the pos
sibility of their occurrence by zoologi
cal science arid in the actual details of
the case by evidence as trustworthy in
many cases as that received in our
courts ot law. When we remember
how few fish or other inhabitants of
the sea are ever seen compared with
the countless millions which exist that
not one specimen of some tribes will
be seen for many years, in succession,
and that some tribes are only known to
exist because a single specimen or even
a single skeleton has been obtained, we
may well believe that in the sea, as in
heaven and earth, there are more things
'than are known in our philosophy.'"
