horses exhibited, and that good, their looks

been attractive as that of the horses IN tns ehss

| out exciting envy, mention tue name OF "Old Psth-
finder" and cay that his colts were very much ad-
| mired.
Muies.-The show of these was not a. large Is it
should be- since it has been demonstrated that one
mule will do as much farm work as horse, and not
| consume half as much valuable food.
T.. II. Bishop of New.iaven, who buys and sel6
mules than any other man in Connecticut, had

runs upon two wheels, with traveller behind, and u

Corn Huskvs.-New forms Of machines for CORN
huskng are exhibited every year, and perhaps we
shall get one by and by that will do the work better
than BY hand. The candidate for favor this yesr
is in form Of box like srswcutter; crank and TIVE
