To Protect Horses Against Flies.

1t not unfrequently happens in the hot
weather of summer and in the fall that the
fretting of horses by flies. is severer tax
upon the nervous system than all the labor
they have to perform. The question of a
remedy, therefore, is one of considerable
Importance to both tae owner and the
horse. Nets serve the purpose, in part,
but they are after all quite as ornamental
as useful and as more effectual remedy.

Mode Of discriminating Canada Thistles

Canada thistles may be efectualy de-
stroyed by moving, summer following,
and hoeing. Each of these methods may,
under some circumstances, be better than
either of the others.
Moving, about the LIST of July and the 1st
ofSept. will put an end to them as long as
the field lies to grass but when broken up.
they will again show themselves, as the
seed will lie in the ground several years
and grow when brought to the surface,
and will again require tie use of the
scythe.
Flowing and narrowing will destroy
them, if repeated often and continued from
May until september; and then 1t is bet
her to break up sod ground deep the fall
before, as you have the land in better con-
ditien which is more likely to render the
experiment successful. As a general rule,
l prefer hooing. would pIow the ground
in the fall deep andcoarse. then again in
the spring pillow and harrow, plant to pota-
toes, and hoe two or three times, taking
pains to pull out the thistlss among the
tops. After the last hoeing, would 60
through the field once in ten or twelve
days and cut up the thistlcs, until it is time
tie dig the potatoes. After digging, the
ground should be plowed deep once and
perhaps twice, and then spring plousd and
planted to corn. A few scattering thistles
will show themselves, which should be cut
regularly once in ten days as long as one
can be found. l have never known this
course Of treatment to fail in retaining
the worst fields. The crops will more
than pay expenses, and leave the field
free for any future crop.

From the Canadian Agriculturist.
Fortunes Made BY Farming.

1t is a common, and we think, correct
conviction that large fortunes are seldom
made by farmers There are, however,
exceptions Agriculture. as a pursuit,
probably yields about the average rate Of
profit on the capital employed as compared
with that Of commercial undertakings,
while the losses, which are often heavy, at
tending the latter, are deducted There
is generally much less risk in farming than
In manufactures and commerce; and indus
trioug, economical habits, guided by
sound judgment, will scarcely, in any in
stance. fail in securing comfortable COM
potency. There are now thousands Of far
mers in Canada who are now comparative
ly wealthy who came to this country tweR-
ty CT thirty years ago almost without
shilling The following instances of sue
cess in farming are taken from an article
furnished the Boston Cultirator, By that
well known agriculturist. Mr.. John john
ston, of Geneva
Some sixty years ago. man came to
Western New York from New England or
New Jersey, am not certain which, his
axe and little loose change being all the
property he had. He worked several
years for different farmers, and then bought
land for himself. He now kas farm of
600 acres or more, has given two sons
each a good farm, and pays taxes On two
hundred thousand dollars of personal prop
erty He has never bad any business but
farming.
know another man whose father left
him a. farm Of about 200 acres, something
over thirty years ago, with seme encum
ORANGES on it in the shape of legacies to
other heirs, who now has over 400 acres
of land, and fifty thousand dollars at inter-
est. He also has.done no business but
farming.
Several men have worked for me, who,
although they had nothing when they came.
are now well off. A young Scotchman
worked for me over thirty years ago who
had but three cents when he began, but
who now has good farm of 200 acres,
well stocked, and he is free from debt
He knew the mechanical part of farming
thoroughly, but knew nothing of specula-

CURED fortunes wholly by farming.
A farmer of small means should be very
economical and still very liberal. He
should be economical in dress for himself
and family, and in his dwelling and furni-
ture; he should be liberal in feeding his
stock, manuring his land, and in supplying
labor to work his land / have seen ma
ny farmers who were kept always poor by
trying to do too much work for the num-
Der of laborers employed, whereas if they
had hired double the labor it would have
paid abundantly. This is very common
mistake.

The fact is significant, and was the sub
ject of universal comment on the streets.
The act of hauling down the flag simulta-
neously with running up the ticket may
have been accidental, but it was appropri-

view Of the universal indignation manifest
on the streets, the conductors Of the Jour
nal will raise the flag again to-day. But
