The Government Owns More Than 10,000 Horses. •'Where does the United States buy the horses for its army and other pur¬ poses ? ’ Tlie question was asked at IL.1I’* Head yesterday, and John I’avmo ul, ono of the best known horse dealers in this section of tlie country, was im- ablo to answer it; jet at the very mo¬ ment there was a young Lieutenant of tlie United States cavalry on the street, within twenty feet of Mr. Itiymond, purchasing horses for the Government. "1 will tell you all about it," said tho young efficor. "Tiie United S atis has in Government stables llumighout the country at the present time be¬ tween ten'ami twelve thousand horses. That is 11:0 number inquired for tlie cavalry, tlieOrdna .ee Department and oilier branch' of the Army. They arc carefully selected animals, well cared for and well groomed, nnd the mortality among them is annually not more than 5 per centum. ThU small percentage is remarkable, when it i- eonsideied that in some of (lie fat Territories the work required from tlie horses is very exacting indeed. ••In Arizona, for example, more of the Government horses die in propor¬ tion to t .cir number than in any oilier section of tlie country, and it is n cations fact that many of tlie horses there grew blind, and thus become uselet long before they die. That is one of the effects of the alkali plains on (lie animals. Besides the 5 per centt m which die, about 10 pot¬ een tun of the remainder are annually sold by tlie Government because of their having become useless for tlie services for which they are required. "This makes it necessary for the au¬ thorities to purchase annually about two thousand horses, and Congress provides for this expenditure by ap¬ propriating about $‘200,000 for tho purpose of paying for Hie horses pur¬ chased. The amount is divided among tlie various military departments by the Secretary of War, and, as the Western divisions of Ihc army need more horses than we do here on tho Atlantic roast, the bulk of the money goes out Wes?, nnd most of tlie horses for tlie Government aro purchased in 5t. Louis, t-'t. Paul and Ban Francisco. "Xot every horse will do for Gov¬ ernment service,” continued the Lieu¬ tenant, “for the War Department makes specific rules to govern tho pur' chase of tlie animal. They aro re¬ quired to be geldings, solid color throughout, from 15 to 17 hands high, between four and eight years of ago, and must weigh for artillery horses, b'etwceti 1,000 and 1,300 pounds, and for cavalry horses, between 900 and 1,200 pounds. A government horse asually lasts about sev- ii years and at the end of that time is sold at auction, if lie lasts that long.” "Do the horse dealers know Hint, yon are purchasing animals for tho Government?” ••Indeed they do not,” said the Lieutenant, smilingly, "if they did they would run Hie price up on me far beyond what they do now, when l am buying apparently as a private in¬ dividual."’— [New Y’ork Star. Where Border Life Lingers. There are many evidences of Far Western life in Ilcadwood. The sa¬ loons are wide open, as also are tlie concert halls and tlie gambling rooms, but while all these are tolerated they make no ostentatious display, A cowboy on horseback, with heavy and high y ornamental saddle and shooting- irons, occasionally (lashes through tlie " illrect, hut, as a rule, tlie town is as quiet at night as the serene mountain peaks that lietn it in, and the few po¬ licemen who guard tiie city’s peace and dignity have ample opportunity to indulge in reminiscence and slumber.

Growers of ducks us well us house¬ keeper, will be interested in the fol- lowing from two corespondents of the Cockier: You ask for an easy way to dress ducks. Immerse in scalding water and shake well into the feathers; remove and wrap in a flannel cloth so ihc steam cannot escape; let it lay about ten minutes, and you can romovc the down with ilie feathers. My method of dressing is to pick tlie feathers dry, then iinmerso the duck in hot water and roll in blanket for live or ten minutes, when tho down will coino ill' nicely. HOW TO CONTROL THE FLOCK. Upon (lie ordinary farm, says the Germantown Telegraph, where sheep arc kept, but in limited numbers and without shepherd, it is of considerable importance lo be able to control ihc flock. This is very successfully done by taking a ewe lamb nnd bringing it up by hand. Always exercise kind¬ ness toward it, give it a name and teach it to come at tlie call of its name by giving it a few kernels of grain of tome kind or some food that it is par¬ ticularly fond of. When grown turn it with ihe flock, and when they are wanted n call of tlie cosset by name will bring it, and the rest of the flock will follow. This is a peculiarity of sheep; when one starts all the rest will follow, no matter in what direc¬ tion they go, so if one is taught to come at. call the others will follow, and this save, the trouble of trying to teach the entire flock, and will be the means of saving many Steps. WOMEN IN TUB APIARY. At (lie recent convention of Ohio bee-keepers tlie question of women’s help in apiaries was discussed. Tlie gist of the opinions expressed are here given. Dr. Mason would rather not havo tlie women around, while F. A. Eaton cannot get along without tlie help of liis wife, and slie will do tlie work up in better shape than ho can. While he is doing the heavy work his wife puts foundations in sections, and does a great deal of other light work. 11. F. Moore finds that women are the best hands (o keep tilings in order. Dr. Mason (in reply) knows timt women are « wonderful help, but, to be serious about it, many men are killing their wives to keep from hir¬ ing, and lie thought too much of liis wife for that—except, perhaps, at swarming time. Dr. Miller said that if lie goes out to the apiary without the women ho cannot fit d anything, and when he wants to go home all the tools are scattered around (lie yard. Women straighten things up hotter than men do, and keep them in better shape.—[New York Witness. A CROP FOR MARSIIFA. If will pay well to improve marshes, lowlands, ponds and streams of water that have mud bottoms by sowing with wild duck’s rice (Zizania aquatica, Indian rice, water oats.) It is a i an¬ nual, will spread all over marshland, and does not freeze or die out. Horses and cattle will eat its luxuriant growth of leaves as freely as young sugar corn, and it is excellent for fattening slock of all kinds, fed cither green or cured. Tlie seed is absolutely sure to grow, flourish a id return a generous, heavy yield, and is always a sure for¬ age crop. N'o plant yields so heavily, so abundantly, so easily, so surely, so continually, as wild duck s rice. Wild rice also does w il in ponds nnd streams. It sli uld be planted in August or September, broadcast from tlie shores, or from a boat in one to eight feet of water having a mud bot¬ tom. It grows very rapidly. As an attraction for wild fowl it cannot be equalled. A friend writes: "It brought me more good meals on the table than if I had butchered my fat¬ test calf.” Wild ducks are very fond of wild rice, and an acre of it will af¬ ford attraction and food for thousands of them during tlie autumn months. They can easily be caught iu tho tall wild rice §talks. In large ponds and lakes it purifies the water and affords refuge for small fry, with plenty of food from tho animate il® upon its stalks. For planting in fishponds, it is especially desirable; tho stalks in tlie water are continually sought by fishes.—[Farmer J ltevie w. A WORD FOR TIIE GUINEA FOWL. The Guinea fowl, which, from its ordinary habits and the quarrelsome nature of tlie male bird, is, as a rule unpopular, 1ms an advocate in a Ivew England woman, who, writing iu the Poultry Journal, has the following to say in ifs^favor: "A flock of Guinea fowls is a great adjunct to the farm. They make the best sort of watchmen, and never fail to uotifv the farmer of liitrlit thieves or poultry stealer*. There i» a profit in Guinea fowls, too, considering the small amount of care nnd expense at. belied to keeping them. As a rule, Uio Guineas prefer to pick up most of (1 .elr living, and they should have a | B rgo placo over which to range.

They bring fair prices at such seasons of the year, and often return big profits to the grower. The Guineas always steal (heir nests in the nearest hedge or w oods, and in laying-ti no'it is neces¬ sary to look pretty carefully to find them.” FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Save all tlie corn and stalks this year. Strong lye cleans (ain.cd pork bar- rcls. Keep botli stock and farm on the gain. Fill the silo as rapidly as possible in the latest order. Calves as well as colts should be Uught to lead while young. Push tho lambs now for growth and fat before the frost comes. Perfect drainage is indispensable for health and profitable farming. Don’t forget to have salt where all the stock can have free access to it. The overdraw check is cruel. Bet¬ ter sacrifice "style” than your fine feelings. We are learning that many dairy theories once thought tenable will not hold water. Tlie western farmer can increase his stock with more clover to mix with the corn stalks. If yon have a muck-bed on your farm get some under cover for use in stable this winter. Clover li tlie tat to, g.wlog «»i. mals.

Ensilage is a good feed, but all en¬ silage is not alike; it is not yet known wlrnt all (lie conditions arc that insure success in filling the silo. Wo aro learning something new about it every year, and it seems to be the general opinion that the silo will become a necessity to tlie stockman.

The Hippopotamus, or lliYcr Horse This enormous animal is a native of Africa. Its legs are very short fn pro¬ portion to its huge body. Its mouth is immense, and full of great broad teeth, each of which will weigh six oj eight pounds. It is a g; eat pest to (he inhabit ants of its native country, coining by night out of the river, where it lies all day, and eating tip or tramping down whatever crop may be growing in the neighborhood, it lias a wonderful ap¬ petite and a stomach to correspond, as tho latter will hold five or six bushels. But, in spite of its tierce ap¬ pearance and giant teetii it only eats vegetable food. It could not bo induced to eat iambs and calves and chickens, etc., as my merry girls an.I boys do. It is a clumsy and waddling creature on land,but in the water its movements are swift and easy. It can stay under the water fifteen minutes or more without coming up to breath. Tho mother hippopotamus is very fond of her babies, nnd during tho first few nion lis of their lives they stand upon her thick neck and she carries them about with tier wherever she goes. The hippopotamuses live in herds and aro harmless unless attacked. But their snorting* and bellowing*, as they tumble about in the rivers at night, are said to be the most frightful noises Press. one can imagine.— [Detroit Free How Fnele Sam Cleans Hi* Brass. The method prescribed for cleaning brass and in use in all the United Spates arsenals is claimed to be tho best in the world. The plan is to make a mix¬ ture of one part common nitric acid and one-half pint sulphuric acid iu a stone jar, having also ready a pail of j fresh water and a box of sawdust. I The articles to bo treated are dipped into the acid, thrown into tho water and finally rubbed with sawdust. This changes them into a brilliant color im¬ mediately. If the brass has become greasy it is first dipped in a silking so¬ lution of potash and soda iu warm > water; this cuts the grease so that tlie acid 1ms full power to act.— [Brooklyn Citizen, Itcminlscenscs of Fremont. General Daniel Sickles, in (lie of a talk about the Into General C. Fremont with a New Y'ork reporter, says: “I flrst met Fremont in during 1855, when I was attached tho American Embassy under Iluclmnan, then our Minister to the Court of St. Janies.

Ho did not know that 1 he usual rate was5 percent, a month. Subsequently Fremont went to Eng¬ land for tlie purpose of selling largo tracts of lands, nnd as I lie notes rc- . 11 ,uiued unpaid his creditors followed him and obtained judgments to the amount of $54,000. '•Fremont could not pay, so lie was clapped in o the debtor's prison, and Minister Buchan in was appealed to. As It was really a government debt, Buchanan induced Baring Bros, to be¬ come security, and Congress finally passed nu appropriation to ijiect (lie demand. Fremont also got into trou¬ ble in France, for tlie French people could not see that liis forecast of tlio future of California was a reasonable #ne, and they looked upon him as a wild-eat schemer. I think there were edicts issued for his arrest. Fremont was a man who had large ideas, hut he could not grasp tlie ne¬ cessary details. In the beginning of the civil w r he was sent to Missouri, in order to organize troops, and wlion lie sent in his accounts, amounting to over $100,000, (lie old army officers at Washington were simply paralyzed, because they had grown accustomed lo tiie expense of small armies.

But he insisted that not even Marl- borough or Napoleon would ask for a $5u0 tent, as I had. My answer to this was that the tent was an old cir- cus one, capable of sheltering 1000 men, and had obviated the necessity for building a barrack* costing $8000. Stanton was satisfied, and ho also paid for my ice and refrigerator when I proved that by its use the Government liad saved several thousands of dollars in spoiled beef. Up to this time Fre- mont’s accounts had caused him a great deal of trouble, but when Stanton sent for him everything was satisfactorily explained.” Racing Bullocks in India. In India the favorite animals, both for speed and for endurance, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, are the na¬ tive bullocks. The animals are small, wiry, muscular and swift. They are trained to race and run well, not only under the saddle, but in harness. Tho Indians are fond of racing their beasts, and the sport is cncotuaged by (he English part of the population. The animal is guided by a cord through tlie nose, but the driver places more reliance on whip and voice than on tlie cord. Tlie Indians are natural gamblers, nnd will bet their last rupee on tlie result of a race, taking so much interest in it that a penniless native has been known to wager liis liberty and that of his family for an entire year and sell himself into involuntary slavery, as the result of losing a bet. Tlie races are frequently attended by serious accidents, from tlie fact that although (lie bullocks may be trained to great swiftnesss, it seems almost impossible lo teach them to run in a straight line. They will bunch to¬ gether, and thus frequently smash one or more of the vehicles. Excitinq as are tho bullock races when the beasts arc harnessed and driven by native drivers, they are far more so when tlie bullocks are ridden by European soldiers or sailors. The chief danger in a race of this descrip¬ tion lies in the falls which are the al¬ most inevitable result of an attempt to ride these awkward animals. Care of the Eyes. It is a point of tlie first importance that any weakness, defect or uneasi¬ ness of the eyes should uot be neglect¬ ed, but that the oculist should be at once consulted, Headaches which come on after sewing, reading or otherwise using tho visual organs in a special direction for a long period of time, are usually the direct results of ocular defects, To some people glasses are a revelation, revealing powers mid beauties of vision never before known to exist. Glasses not only increase the power of vision and greatly relieve the work of the eye, hut they actually prevent the occur¬ rences of certain diseases of the eye, and of reflex affectations in other parts of tlie body, and effect tlie preserva¬ tion of good vision throughout life. • - ih j p awi.
