OLD HORSES.


Another great mistake IS made oy many
persons in considering that old horses snouio
he INDUCED by an extra allowance OF rest
roronared 10 that which is permitted the
.,,onnc ones of their stud. The incentive TO
sncb practice is amiable, but 1t is at the
came time mistaken one. Old horses can
not bear entire rest; they may be favored
as to the frequency Of calling forth great
exert;on from them, but couple OF days OF
entire rest brings on all their old acheS ana
pains arising from work, blows and talls.-
Exercise is life to him it keeps the vital
functions going, and the limbs that regular,
and daily exercise keeps plant become sun
and rigid by continued absence OF MOTION ;
any exertion under such circumstances Is
attended with pain, and if an ola morse IS
still in q state to work without pam - UNI
self, the only way to enable MN 10 40 81 -
70 keen him Going. If young horse should
no st;fF the dav after hunting, in him all the
vital functions are in such full play-that rest
will restore his limbs to their wonted elastic
i.v; not so with the old one; his tagging
energies must be quickened by motion, or
swelling legs, general stiffness, and conse-
ouent disinclination to motion, from the pam
il creates, is the certain consequence. In
confederation Of what ! state | will refer to
machine, in other words, Stage-coach nor
SEES many q team of these, composed OF
four highly bred old cripples, would gallop
over their FIVE or six miles OF ground at the
rate of Ii miles an hour, and return IN the
same stage in the evening without, figura-
tivelv speaking, turning hair, or requiring
touch of the whip; and would do such
work better by far than young ones, and
whv they would do so arose from the follow
ing cause: being old cripples as they were,
they could be got, in stable phrase, ''ot
uretty GOOD family - that is, so very highly
bred, that, had they been young, or at all
sound, they could not have been purchased
at coach price, and, if INBRED, they could
not have stood the pace. Such hlghly-ored
horses had years of hard keep in them the
work they had all their lives been at kept
them clear in their wind, and fast pace
had from use become natural to them. II
these same horses were put to long stage,
where they worked two days and rested one,
the two horses rested would, so far from be-
inc IN the best state of the four to commence
their stage, come out of the stables as stiff
as if they had no joints TO their limbs, nor
till they had hobbled and cantered couple
ofmiles could they settle to anything like
trot. Old hunters are, in mihgated way,
similarly affected by absence of exercise
We all know that aged horses will stand
more work than very young ones; but mel
Their will stand great exertion and long rest
alternately.-Tae H,niing Field.

WOMEN WITH BEARD.-It is said with
regard to the ladies, that nature knowing,

-"their itch for talk is such,
The razor would draw blood at every touch"
kindly, like a good mother, ordained that
their pretty faces should be beardless; but
to every rule there is, it IS said, an excep-
ton, it being recorded that bearded woman
was taken by the Russians, at,the battle of
Pultowa, and presented to the Gear, Peter
the First, 1928, her beard measured yard
and half. A woman is said, also to have
been seen in Paris with bushy beard
The great Margaret, governess of the Meth
erlands, had very stiff beard. In Bavari-
a, in the time of Wolfus, virgin had a
long black beard. Our observation has led
us to conclude that in fenny, swamp ground,
it often happens that our fair ones are ador-
ned with boards. Several bearded ladies
may be met with in Lincolnshire, England,
and in Holland

GRAZING WHEAr.--A correspondent of
the Southern Planter, writing from Buffalo
Springs, says:
Those who wish to guard against injury
from fly in their wheat, and wish to grow
three heads where they would only have
two, and wish to make field efwheat head
out evenly ndripen all about the same time,
can do so by putting large flock of sheep
on their field the 18th of February, or be-
tween that time and the 25th Of March or
list Of April, letting the lateness of the
spring govern as to time of taking off. The
loser the wheat is eaten off, and the quick
err it is done the better. 1t is good plan
to put on sheep at night when the ground Is
frozen, or partially so, and keep them off in
the day when the ground is soft. This may
be done at any time during the winter
Whenever wheat looks badly, no matter
whether il is from the effects of fly or worm,
it matters not, grazing will be found to i'm
prove the crop. But it must be done with
proper judgment on the part of the farmer.
If you Craze too late in the spring, you will
injure your crop. Two or three trials, with
close observation, will satisfy any one.

CoMposT FOR FRUIT TREEs.-Frmt trees
must be fed, if we would have them thrive
and bear. Decaying leaves or the scra-
pings from the forest form one of the best
Ingredients for compost designed for any
kind of fruit trees. Mr.. Downing, distin-
guished fruit culturist, and the editor of the
Horticulturist gives it as his opinion that
the best compost adapted for general use,
with fruit trees, is that composed of swamp
muck, or the black, decayed vegetable mat
ter to be obtained from low grounds, mixed
with wood ashes, at the rate of five BUSH
els of fresh ashes or twice that quantity Of
leached ashes to wagon load. This furnish
es not only the requisite vegetable matter,
but also those mineral manures which are
essential to the production of fine fruit
This compost he would modify as follows,
TO adapt ii to the different varieties of fruit
trees.
For apple Trcss.-To every cart load
of muck and lime mixture, after it has lain
fortnight, add to two bushels of air slack
ed lime.
Pear TreeS.-To every cart load of the
muck and ashes mixture, add bushel of
ground or dissolved bones, and two bushels
Of leached ashes.
Plum Tress,-To every cart load of the
muck and ashes mixture, add half a bushel
of lime, half bushel of ashes, and peck
of salt
Grape Vines.-To every cart load of the
muck and ashes mixture, add bushel of
lime, bushel of ashes, and half a bushel
of gypsum or plaster.--JNaine Farmer.

This Morning. News.

The Tribune this morning Is almost Who'll
" given up to the details of the news which
reached US yesterday from all quarters of
the globe This last chapter of universal
history presents many points of unusual
interest.
Our advices from California are some
what discouraging. The resources of the
State promise more largely than ever the
mountains are opening new treasures OF
gold, and the fields make abundant returns
to the agrculturist but crimes Of all kinds
are fearfully prevalent, and the whole
country, from Oregon to San Diego, seems
to be 0yerrun with gangs of the most rcck
less and desperate characters. Lynch law
is now almost the only law in the mining dis
uicts. while at San Francisco the Vigilance
Committee has perfected its organization
and commenced an unrelentlng crusade
against robbers and incendiarles. Ii does
not appear, however, that public security
has yet been restored, though Press and
Pulpit second the aims Of the Committee,
and testify to the good results of their
course. The late fire, though much less
destructive than the previous one, (S2,000,-
GOO will probably cover the loss,) has had 4
more depressing effect on business.
From Oregon we have accounts of seri-
Gus Indian hostilities, with the probable
massacre of Capt. Kirkpatrlck's party. Ia
the Sandwich Islands the Parliament had
met, and the King has recommended seve-
raj salutary measures of reform in his OPEN
ing speech Chill is on the eve OF another
Presidential election, but still quiet and
peaceful We have rumorS Of another re-
volt in the Southern Provinces Of New
Grenada.
European politics presents no new deyel-
opment since our mails by the Atlantic
The letter OF our Paris correspondent gives
an interesting sketch of recent events in
that capital.
Later intelligence from the lslhmus, ia
maica and Havana will also he found IN our
columns. The Cherokee, as we learn by
telegraph from New-Orleans, brings news of
the entire failure of the revolution lii Cuba
an unexpected and perhaps a premature
announcement. though the chances are that
il is correct.
