A HORSE SToRY.-The following
story is vouched to us by first rate
authority as fact. A yaluble horse of
the Canadian breed, belonging to
Josephus Baldwin, Esq, on one of
the slippery days last week, had much
difficulty in maintaining his standing
in society, owing to the smoothness
of his shoes, and came to some little
bodily harm in consequence. When
he was embarrassed, the teamster left
him to his head, not doubling that he
would 60 directly to the stable, as he
always did. Instead Of doing so,
however, he passed by the stable, and
went directly to the blacksmith shop
of Vincent & Woodward, where he
had been shod some months before
He was found there patiently waiting
his turn, with several horses, as
every well bred horse does. What was
that, if it was not reason? -Nashua
Telegraph.

A FACT FOR FARMERS DIR. r. T.
Baldwin has recently made public the re-
suits Of several years Investigations and ek-
perimen,s upon nlahures. and The various
ways Of fertil;zing the soil. He states that
the best and speediest way TO ferlilize any
soil, is 10 cover it with straw, bushes Or
any raw material SO as completely to shade
it. The surface of the earth thus being
made cool, dark. and close, soon undergoes
chemical process like purefactio,l, and
becomes highly fertilized. This plan OF
feriiiizing, he says may be applied with sue
cess to any soil Whatever, no matter how
poor. and The result will be astonishing.
