Giv •n to suckling ewes on grass it is how ver, very liable to purge the lambs. Un der these circumstances—lambs thrive "ti' h Lcter while their dams are receiv ing swedes. HoW TO LAY DRAIN TILE. An Ohi) farmer laid sixty rods of drain ile, beginning at the lower end while the men were digging out the trench above him. and the result was that the whole -ixly rods had to be taken up, after the iitch was filled in with earth, in conse quence of the tiles becoming tilled with mud, as any farmer ought to have known would be the result. In laying the tile ilways begin at the upper end, and when there are lateral drains lay them before vou lay the main conductors. The man to whom I reter says in regard to his work, iltei he had corrected feis mistake: “I now commenced with my six inch tile, at the ujTper end, took in each branch as I passed by, putting in a six inch sewer pipe with a four inch branch, till all was fin ished. I now found my tile ail clean, the water running out clean, and ail working in first rate order. Results: the land, al most as soon as the ditches were in, be came dry enough to plow—when a horse could not have walked across it before— and is now in good order.” Pine boards 'ix or seven inches wide, nailed together at their edges, with three cross strips on the under side to hold them in shape, will last twenty or thirty years when used in the place ot tile. Even hemlock boards have been known to make good draius fifteen years. The drains should not be over thirty or forty feet apart, and at least two teeldeep; and where the fall is suffi cient to allow the drain three feet it is bet ter to malye it of that depth. “1’L'UE CIDER VINEGAR."' Doubtless many a country farmer, who has never practiced any of the “ways that are dark and tricks that are vain” in which too many unscrupulous commercial men engage, has often wondered Ifc>w it came to puss that, whether apples are scarce or plenty, whether cider could be bought for one dollar or would readily command six dollars, vinegar was held at almost unva rying quotations. When vinegar was plenty, and the market was tilled with cider and apples, he has kept his stock over in strong hope and full expectation that the next year the price would be nearly doubled, yet when the next season came he found, to his dismay, that vine gar was still plenty in market and sold for the usual price.” The fact that three car loads <d spurious vinegar has just been confiscated in the District of Columbia may explain how it has happened that a scarcity ol apples and cider has had no susceptible eflVet upon the price of “pure eider vinegar.” A spurious vinegar, which in taste and appearance very close ly resembles the genuine article, can be made at a cost, lor the materials, of not more than twenty cents a barrel nnd it is said, by good authority, that “probably one halt the vinegar sold at citv groce i ies is a rank poison. It consumers un derstood this they might be more ready to buy ol farmers, or reliable dealers who know what they are selling, and pay a lair price tor a genuine and healthful ar ticle. A little light on this subject may be a benefit to both buyer and seller, making the one more carelul in buying and insur ing to the other a fair price for his goods. THE AMERICAN MEAT TRADE. Speaking at the annual dinner of the Wen look Farmers' Club, Mr. Brown, M. 1’., of Liverpool, said the American meat trade was increasing, and increasing so rapidly that it was likely to become a thriving and important branch ol foreign trade witli this country, and it must eventually compete seriously with the lbitish tanner. Living in Liverpool, he was able to judge the importance of this trade. In the first nine months of 1876 tlie amount of Ameriean|meat imported into England was 37,000 ewt., and in the first iiiu months of this year the amount had increased to no less than 876,000 owt., an increase perfectly prodigious. Calculating the value at 6d. per pound, the value for the relative periods was £200,000 and £'1,031,000 respectively. In Liverpool during the first uiue months of 1876, 26,000 cwt., was imported, and dur ing the same period of 1877 311 000 cwt., of the relative value of £74.000 and £900,000, showing that the progressive increase was greater at Liverpool than any other port. These figures applied almost totally to beef, for the importation of mutton had not been so successful. To show how rapidly the meat is disposed ot, he would tell t.bem that a short lime ago a cargo of American beef arrived at Liverpool at one A M.; at two A. hi. it had been unshipped, packed in an ex press train amt started lor London and at seven A. M. it arrived at its destina tion, was Ht once sold and a telegram sent to New York ordering the payment of the money due for it—and this was all done belore the time as New York cor responded with the time of the arrival «t [CONCIUDID ON FOURTH FAQ*.]

It in earnestly h pc that rv. r\ n 'u* will be represented at thi- sc *i». -o ill t nnd comp etc report can be oIhmk d. Ihe Reform work is sprr ding like W iid f all over me Went nnd ^onth, ai Hrt u i >i l renew onr interval in ibm good .\ grains which it provides lor is too heavy to please them, and the single gold .standard advocates because as they declare it is too light for them. Of course it is well understood that the extreme advocates ol the gold standard would not have any sil ver dollar at all, no matter what the weight might be, so that their objection that the silver dollar proposed by Mr Blaine is not heavy enough is entitled to but little respect. The dollar suggested by Mr. Blaine is 12 1-2 grains heavier than the dollar of the daddies,” and grains heavier than the trade dollar. The point made in his speech that the ad vocates of fhe Bland bill favor a dollar for home circulation of but 412 1-2 grains, while they would coin one ol 420 grains to send to Inna and Australia, thus discriminating against our own pen. pie in favor of foreigners, created a but tering among the Blaudites. Press Comments on Mr. I Maine's Speech on the Silver liili. tFrom the Washington Correspondence of the Tribune. J Washington, Feb. *—Senator Dia ne is the ablest representative of the small class of men in Washington who believe that a comi imise 01 the Silver question is possible uu.l bis st eer to day in advocacy of his hill for the ioage r.f a 42d-grain dollar was made to thu largest ciow that has gathered in the Senate chamber and in the galleries since the financial discussion b gan. A majority of tbe speeches on this sui.j, bar been made to galleries nearly empty, and some times to less than a dozen Senators. Today the galleries were overcrowded and not a Senator was oat of bis scat. Some of those even who are not in the habit of complimenting th-ir *-s,dates hv listening to their speeches, kept their seals to dar and paid the closest attention. Among tic nun died outsiders who had the ptiviiege of tbe Boor were DO less than nine ert-Senators. Ti.cs weie Secretary Sherman and Mcasra. Foote, Fowler, Cane of Indiana, lleuJcisuu, Ci-au, Hitchcock, Sawyer and West. Mr, Blaine s speech was compact, not too long, (pointed, and delivered in his lied style. Tiieie were passages in it which pleased the advocates of the silver dollar, and there were others which were applauded by lire opponents of the Bland ibi!l. Mr. Blaine is oot in favor of a dollar that shall be worth less than a gold dollar, but be is in la wor of a double standard, and t inks that it can lie attarocu by the it>ue of a 423-grain silver coin. These is no doubt tlrst Mi. Blaine will vote against Bland bill in any shape tu which it will l »n the Senate, and the definition of hi* position on the subject which he gave in his speech to day, has as far a- this po:ut is concerned, brought en eouragcment to the advocates of honest money. His definite icpndiation of the Bland bill makes the enactment of a 92 cent dollar in *pite of the veto of the president, more improbable thau ever. [From the Tribune (Editorial.)] Eastern business men have steadily insisted that if the worst come? to the worst, and the ml vi i i*xp» nnc i r ma t he tiicd, wc should at least put a hundred cent?’ worth of silver into the dol lar. M'. Blaine plants himself on thin proposi t nn. He vehemently opposes the Bland oill, in sist-that »,‘ong ess l as no Constitutional fight to kt a lew year**, he a In, f* j,, lT> t that th- j old dollar it {1m only measure oj I 1 uf. It I- but fiiit to -»v that Mr Blaine’s hi'!, as ex piated bv bimseif, is the least objectionable f the compromise m usures, aocl there is good ma son to In i ve til it I's plMVI'ions vv li meet the Mp pioval ot the um-s aiid bill, and, p-thap*, some lew men vo,,‘ against rt, it is not considered po— l'' wdi i ere.ve enough to secure its udop* 1 It known that for mote than a week pi-t 1 ru. 1»Hurts have been made to secure from the 1 resident sn intimation that he will sign a bill ifciumetiz ng silver, which shall contain tome of the principal feature* of the pending bill, but not all of them. The amount of conciliation that has been going on concerning this subject is extraordinary, but there i«11 who wi'l vote for the arm -dm nt providing that the silver dollar shall contain 420 grains. [From the Boston Diily AdverlUtv, (Editorial.) We are awn-e that Mr. Blaine thinks 12d grains of Mandat'd *dm-r in coin will equate iist-ll* with the gold dollar. But so do many of the most ram pant advocates of remonet zation of the old -iiv i idetiuitely postponed.

Nothing remains for us to be concerned about but due settlement of terms of pence and protec tion of our national interests. Russia i« uudet an honorable pledge not to ad vance lurtber. Should she do so under any pre text, she would arouse suspicion and excitement of this country, of which the last ten days have ad. rdtd some dangerous premonitory symptoms, but if she will loyally restrain her forces even within the limits lived by the armistice, there is uo reason why the conditions of pciinanent peace -bould not be temperately discussed aud deliber ately determined at a congress.

THE SCIENCE OF BREEDING. Young colts are not profitable to breed from. They breed feeble offspring. And very aged horses also breed weak colts. One ol the parents at least should be ma tured into full vigor of age and strength, to counteract the extreme of youth of the other. Oue parent may be old and the other young, which will utilize their ser vices to an advanced age. This might appear to sacrifice Strength to the use of animals lor breeding, but experience has showu that it does not conflict with the laws of nature while it prolongs the use of the parents in the stud. Many cele brated turf performers have been got by old stallions out ot old mares. The very large sire, ol very small dam, will never perpetuate their own likeuess. unless they are descended from a breed with the same uuilorm characteristics. The tall, long-legged stallion is generally a stray scion of the. stock, without any fixed inheritance. He is a weed that bus sprung up to choke out the pure blood, and will seldom prove a good stock get ter. Medium sized mares are better formed, and more likely to possess a vigorous con stitution than the very large mare. The breeder who is looking lor style, will do better to use this class than the over growu dam. When the dam has several lines of speedy blood in her veins, and several lines ol ihe stout breed in her pedigree, coupled with a stallion ot stout inheri tance. she will transmit either speed or enduranee, and sometimes both to her colts.
