Freedom of the Horse.

A horse, like q man, wants freedom. He
will thrive upon it, he will be much healthier
Conine horse to his stall, as is usually done,
and he will suffer; he will suffer in many ways:
He will stand longer than he should, thus firing
and hurting his legs-he will not get the exer-
else which he needs to keep him compact and
in good heart.
Some men let their horses loose in the sta
BILE, with partitions that they cannot reach each
other. The horse then is comparatively his
own master. You will find him walking about
If his room is large enough; or, he will lie
down and rest: he will seldom stand for any
length of time.
So in driving. A horse should have as much
freedom As possible in harness. Harness light,
and as few pieces as will answer the necessary
purpose of draught and keeping in hand, with
now and then the permission of a little pranc.
ing to give play to his mettle, always keeping
him easily and willingly In hand. OF course
working horse can have but few of these ad-
vantages in harness. Still, out of harness he
is on equality with the fancy horse; and then
he needs the humane treatment all the more.

Fence Posts.

Taking the vast extent Of our country into
consideration, an incalculable expense is incur
red every spring in the putting up of new fen
ees and repairing Of old ones. 1t has been
found that one great cause Of this trouble and
expense Is the rapid decay of those parts of
timber fence posts that are inserted in the
ground. Fences would last three times longer
than they usually do, could those parts that are
covered in the earth be % treated a to render
them a. durable Is those parts that are exposed
above ground. A great saving would therefore
be Affected BY any simple method Of treatment
to prevent rot in fence posts. This may be
effected in two ways. One, by boiling the feet

them, As few farmers can obtain coal tar, the
latter mode is the most convenient for them
to practice. About eighteen inches in length

that purpose. It is nothing new, but may be
of service to some:

teen inches square at the bottom, with q grad

On the top. midway of each side, cav down
three or four inches; in these cuts place two
strings reaching to the bottom. (Which should
sit on the surface,) crossing each other at right
angles on the bottom, the ends hanging over
on the outside sufficiently to tie. When the
fleece is completely rolled up, place it in the
box. step into it with your feet, pressing it
down; then bring out of the cuts the ends of
the twine and fasten across the ends Of the
fleece each way. Turn the box upside down
and press out the fleece. 1t will come out
square and compact, and will not need more
winding to keep it in shape, if properly han

RUNNING STITCH
Sewing Machine.

TT is a PRACTICAL, RAPID, EFncIESr and DO

is so light and portable, weighing less than

Its operation is so very SIMPLE, that it re-

and other articles made of light fabrics, it will
therefore be found almost INVALUABLE.
It is attached to the table like a sewing bird,
and having no tension, and requiring no iubri-

operation, and such a marvel Of simplicity, that
a child of six or eight years can UNDERSTAND it
Immediately, and use it SUCCESSFULLY.

What Stock should We Have.

Not any kind gotten at random: but this is
the way we.get our stock; and hence We have
miserable collection. With a little trouble,
We can get almost any kind We wish.
But what kind of stock should we have
That depends wholly for what We want them.
II for mixers, the Attorneys are the best
The old native stock of the country is also
good. For working cattle, there is of course
nothing equal to the Devons. For beef, we
know the heavy quartered Durhans are just
what is wanted.
For wool. Spanish Merino is the thing, and
for mutton, the South. Down or Leicester.
For horses, there is the Morgan, which will
answer all purposes, except heavy draught.-
For light, airy teams, the Messengers are
good; and the Black Hawks for mettle.
A little trouble, little expense, will set nj
on the right way.

changed they should pay the enhanced price for
paper without whining, and without attempting
to get it back out Of their subscribers. The in
crease in the price of paper will make differ

directions ~ planting sorghum:
LIST. In selecting soil best adapted to It's

the quality Of the syrup. As there are three
ptopsrties IN cane, sweet. bitter, and acid, the

ID. As 70 the best method Of preparing soil,
plov deep, harrow thoroughly, pulverize finely;
use of roller is beneficial. Let this be done as
Ghort time before planting as practicables
that the ground may be free from weeds-then
mark for planting three and half feet apart.
Sd. In selecting of seed, too much care
cannot be taken. Select from such fields as
have been most profitable to the producers, and
only such heads a. are well matured, and from
medium sire stalks. The color Of the sorghum
seed should be black and shiny; that Of Impdee,
bright yellow, or vhitish color. String the
heads on strong twine, and hang them up in
dry airy room till wanted. prefer the sor.
ebum, of which know but one kind, while of
the Imphee, there are said to be sixteen, of
which I have rsised only three.
4sh. Proper time for planting. This can
be determined only by the season and condi-
ton Of the ground. As soon as the soil is suf-
6ciently dry and warm, that the seed will read
lily terminate, certainly plant, which in this
latitude Is about the 18th or Goth of May. If
planted too early, bad stand, and many weeds
will be the result; If too late, the cane will not
mature before frost. plant three and . half
feet apart each way with Browns Planter, but
iflabor was cheap, would prefer Iidgihg the
ground, and then plant twenty inches apart one
way, and the cane on ridges will be ten days
earlier than that on level, but it costs too
much. Put from eight to twelve seeds in q
hill; As thick seeding will prevent the stalks
from growing too large, also much euckering;
large stalks have no more sacchsrine matter
than medium sized. and suckers are too late.
Plant shallow, seed dry.
