SIGNS OF HoRsE's TENPER-THE Ear
The size, position and motion of the ears of a
horse are Important points. Those rather small
than large, placed not too far apart, erect, and
quiet in notion indicate both breeding and
spirit and if horse is in the frequent habit
OF carrying one ear forward and the other back
ward, and especially if he doas so on Journey,
be viii generally possess both spirit and endu-
rance. The stretching Of the cars il contrary
directions show that he is attentive to every
thing that Is passing around him, and while lie
Is doing this he cannot be much fatigged, nor
Likely sool to become go.
It haa been remarked, that few horses sleep
without pointing one ear forward and one back
ward in order that they may receive notice of
the approach Of any objects in any direction
When horses or mules march in company at
night, those in front direct their ear forward !;
and those in the middle Of the train turn them
laterallv. thus seeming to be actuated by
one feeling, which watches their general
safety
The ear Of the horse is one of the most
beautiful parts about him, and by this is the
temper more SAFELY Indicated The ear is more
ihtelligihle even than the eye and person
accustomed TO the horse, can tell, by the eX-
pressivo motion Of the organ, almost all that
he thinks Or means. When horse lays his
ears fat back on his neck, he most assuredly
means mischief, and bystauders should beware
OF his heels or feet, In play the ears will be
laid back, but rot SO decidedly nor so long
A quick change in their position, and more
particularly the expression of the eye at the
time viii distinguish between playfulness and
vice.
The hearing of the hor51e is remarkably acute
A thousand vibrations of the air, too slight to
make impression in the human ear, are readily
perceived by him 1t is well known to every
hunting man, that the cry Of hounds will be
recognized by the horse, and his cars will be
erect, and he will be all spirit, and impatience

Of the least sound.-IHe Horse and the Rider

PREPARE Bones FOR MANURE-Let barrel
or hogShead be set in some convenient place,
wherein all the bones usually scattered from
the kitchen may be collected This will save
the farmers back yard from one source of
offence, and his premises from the ANNOYANCE
Of prowng ours, if no more. Put in first q
layer Of ashes, and then spread On the bones
tho more evenly the better-then add more
aslc6 aud suficie4t water to keep them well
nioistened but not SO az to leach. Continue
the addition Of bones, keeping on sufficient
ashes to cover them, and generally before the
barrel is full those at the bottom will become
a soft pastelike mass, readily cut with shovel,
and then should be mixed with ashes The
whole forms all excellent application to almost
any crop, either Of the field or garden. We
have tried it upon the latter with the best
effect, especially upon cabbages, turnips, beans
and various vines.
Such preparation of bones have been ap-
piled to corn in the hill, at the rate of half q
pint to each, and produced greater product
than half that quantity Of guano applied at
the same time for the purpose of comparison.
l. has been used year after rear, upon the same
field and always with the best success-each
crop seeming better than the last. We hope
these remarks will set our economical people to
work, for if this be done manure, compared
with guano, is worth $50 per ton, it is will well
worth saving-and the thousands Of scattered
and wasted sources Of fertility may better be
employed than to go to Peru for an article far
less profitable, considering cost and result

APPLrs FOR SrocK-We have a mine of
wealth scarcely opened in fruit and fruit grow
ing. The cultivation Of apples particularly
will yet prove TO be the strong point of Ameri-
con farming. What the root crop is to Great
Britain, apples are to America Our dry sea-
sons, while they are greatly preiudicial to root
husbandry, admit Of L fne growth of fruit

our good varieties Of apples are superior to
turnips IN their nutritive qualities, ana quite
equal to potatoes and other popular roots
When l commenced raising Durham calves,
feed them on about the usual allowance of milk,
aud added after little moderate quantity of
apples, which continued through the winter.
In the spring cattle buyer of extensive
practice declared my calves the best he had
seen. They owed their excellence to apples
Though | had, perhaps, as much orcharding
as any nan in my town, l have just set out
1000 additional trees, and at my earliest con-
venience intend TO double the dose If apples
will SELL say for Is cents per bushel, they are
more profitable for market than anything can
raise, and if they won't sell sell for as much as
that they afford cheaper and better nutriment
for man and beast than We can get in any other
say. / have never found anything in the way
OF domestic stock but what will eat them, and
If ! should find such q reprobate, would not
