Camnnchc H>rSes.--A writer in
the New York Dispatch, who pro-
fesses to speak from "a degree Of eN-
perience," says:
1t takes a prairie horse long
time to appreciate the merits of grain
they snuiftheir noses at it in disdain
at first, and wonder what you mean
by Offering them white pebbles to
eat. Having never been introdu-
ccd to it in the whole course of
their lives, and being accustomed to
regard the prairie grass as sufficient
for all sublunary wants, their teeth
are necessarily astonishcd at such
ilinty pabulum. have often laugh
ed heartily to observe the awkward
attempts Of my horse to get at the
merits ofan car of corn. He invari-
ably gave it up in de pair until ]
slellcd it for him. The wonder is,
that they will endure more hard RI
ding, on the simple food they pick
from the first spot YOU chance to halt
at, than your corn fed American hor.
ses. But for this fact, it would be
impossible to traverse the great
plains. The Indian gets an amount
ofseryico out of his horse that is al
most incredible; and the idea of
raising grain for him never enters
his Uranium. He will run a horse
eighty miles day, and turn the an.
imal loose TO shift for himself until
mornng-then find him fresh as a
lark, and ready for the same or great
or amountof work again. He will
keep him going at this rate for three
months, and then turn him free to re-
juvenate, and at the end of nine
weeks has TO lasso him and break
him over again.
These mustangs are magnificent
race ofanimals their descent is from
the hightestroyal lineage of Barbary;
and it is ridiculous for us to be ma
king such wonderment over the Arab
and his steed, and endeavoring ia
bride the ragged wretch at enormous
prices to part with his better life
that we may transport itacross wide
seas to improve our stock at home.
We have the very same animal-e-
quail in every possible scnse-wan-
dering in heards of countless thou
sands over our own plains.

a Scrisqs Eca-A correspondent
OF the Chicago Journal is denounce-
inr the armies Of grassaoppers that
are so abundant on the prairie this
season. They differ from European,
being horse-headed, and winged like
the African locusts, and are the worst
kind of those plaques. They are
said to have increased very much
within the last three years, and
threaten to become a very serious
evil.
The ravagcs of these insects are
somewhat mitigated by the havoc
made among sthem by the prairie
fowls which eat them greedily, and
thus destroy enormous Numbers dn-
ing the season, and prevent their IN
crease to a proportionablc extent
1t is recommended in reference to
the nseiulnes. of those birds in this
particular, that the killing of them
should be prohibited by law until har-
vast is 'endcd--say betw eenF eb.uary
and September.
The grasshoppers have in time
past caused the great calamities Of
famine and pestilence in the world.
In July, sci and 1913, they ravaged
Europe in military order; 100000
men persisted by famine and pcsti-
lence. They wasted France A. D.
STA and ZAP, when their leaders
constantly few day before the host
and marked the place to be devour-
ed. These first appeared without
wings, then with two wings and last
" with four. They were blown into
the English Channel, and were
thrown on the beach in such numbers
that the stencil caused pestilencc.
The immense extant of our soil, its
great proluctiyencss and diversity
of crops would seem to forbid the
possibility of general famine ever
happening in this favored land. But
if such should ever be the case,
it would most probably be brought
about by the agency ofthcse terrible
scourges.

Prohibition Of .S,oine FLESH
In reSardto the prohibition against
the use ofpork by Moses, Mr.. You

numerous theories advanced. One
writer supposes the law prohibited
swine because oftheir extreme filth

known with what care and precision

even in the fields and in the camp,
not to mention in the cities. Now,
had swine been permitted, the public
places, and streets, and houses
would have been made nuisauces."

Il strange Fiower.-The Eaton
Register says One day last week,
some men who were working on our
streets, broke stone in two, in which
was found a beautiful purple flower
with some green leaves as fresh in
appearance and as soft to touch as
though it had been grown in green
house. How it came there, is a
mystery to us. The stone had been
in our streets for twelve years. But
the flower was evidently in the stone
when quarricd. Perhaps it had been
there for "time whereof the mem
DRY Of man runncth not TO the contra
ry"--aye, for aught we know, il is an
antidcluyian flower. Mr. S. S. Young
says "the flower resembles the Hv-
discus specics-but the leaf is more
nearly like the roSe--but is not ex-
actly like any flower now n native
of this country, not indeed like any
exotic cultivated here" He adds
it most probably grew in the hole Of
the rock where it now is; but tho
rock must have been earth when.i,
grew"

SaK(0r H2gs.--Iogs, during the
process of lattening, should be sup
piled with salt as oftenas once a
week. 1t is no less advantageous
to them than the OK, the COW, or the
sheep, and, when literally given, is a
preventive Of many diseases, to
which from their continual confne-
ment, and the effect of hearty food,
they are inevitably exposed. Store
hogs are also greatly benefited by a
liberal provision Of salt, and will gem
orally partake of it once or twice a
week, as eagerly and TO all appear
ance with as good zest, as they do of
corn or meal Charcoal is also high
ly salutary in its influences upon the
health of swine.-Me. FARMER.

10matoe H,ncy.--To each pound
oftomatoes allow the grated peel of a

Boil them slowly till they are all to

a pound of sugar and the juice Of one
lemon. Boil them together half an
hour oruntil they become thick iel-

Plant Trees.-Thc man who plants
a tree liquidatcs in a part a debt
which he owes to bis ancestors. by
paying it to postcrity. 4 sensible
writer says: "There is no part of
husbaadry which men more common
y fail in, neglect, and have more
cause to repent Of, than they did not
seasonubly begin to plant trees, with
out which they can neither expect
fruit, ornament, or delight from their
labors. Men seldom plant trees till
they grow old, and find By experience
the prudence and necessity Of it
When Ulysses, after ten years alb
Scnce, was returned from Troy, and
found his aged father in the field
planting trees, lie asked him, Why.
being so far in years, he would put
himself to the fatigue and labor of
planting that of which he was never
likely to enjoy the fruits The good
old man, taking him for stranger,
gently replied, 4 plant them against
the time my son Ulysses comes home.
The application is obvious, and is in
structiye both to young and old.

GrPasing Carriage Whsels.-The
best composition that can be prepar-
ed to relieve carriage wheels and
machinery from friction, is com
posed of hogs lard, wheat flour, and
black lead (plumbago.) The lard is
to be melted over gentle fire, and
the other ingredients equal weight
may be added, till the composition
is brought to consistency of com.
mon paste, without raising the heat
near the boiling point. One trial O
