4 few days since visited the meadow of
Mr. Edwin Smith, of Clinton, which contains
several hundred acres of reclaimed marsh,
most eff which is seeded with cultivated grsss-
es. Two mowers were running in the dis
tance; nearer, a man was passing, apparently
with horse and sulky, but it proved to be 4

rack, with two men to load the hay came in
to the meadow The driver of the team at
tached "hay loader to the rear axle of the
wagon, and started the team slowly, length
wise Of the windrow, when the hay was dely-
cred as fast as two men could place it. Ar
rived at the end Of the windrow, bolt was
withdrawn, and the "loader" was attached to
another wagon while the load was taken to
the stack, where there WAS a machine, ap-
pearing like the mast of schooner, thirty
feet high, with cross-bar about twenty feet
long, on a swivel, with braces and derrick and
a puly at each end, through which passes the
rope Of the 'horsc fork" The hay is taken
up by one horse, clear of the stack, deposited
by turning the cross-bar to the place where it
is wanted on the stack, and delivered at the
rate of five tuns per hour The 'hayloader'
puts on load in about five minutes, or as
rapidly as two men can take care of it. yD,'.

How General jackson kent Su
day.

General Jackson went down to New Or.
leans upon an occasion, and met of course.
with an enthusiastic reception from his old
friends and comrades in arms The latter
appointed committee to make arrangements
for visit to the battle ground, about seven
miles below the city Without consulting the
General, Or thinking particularly about the
day of the week, they appointed Sunday as
the time for the visit The day came clear
and beautiful. After breakfast they notified
that everything was in readiness for the CON
templated visit to the scene of his conflict, his
triumph and his glory. He informed the
gentleman who notified him, and in q very
quiet way, that, as it was Sunday, he wished
to, attend church, instead of visiting the battle
gronn1lthat day The gentlemen Of the com
mittee was duly informed of this, and con
sUltation was had. AS all the arrangements
had been made for that day, and everything
ready they concluded to wait upon the Gen,
eral in a body and tell him of the circum-
stances; and hint that it would look strange
and sound odd, if not Purtanic, for him to
refuse compliance with their wishes This
was done. The General listened to what
they had to say, and then, turning his keen
black eyes upon them, which sparkled again
with a little Of their old fire, he replied with
quiet dignity Gentlemen, this is Sunday,
and | have already informed you that l am
going tc church" The committee subsidized
rather pleased than otherwise with the re-
sponse of the old hero "What fools we
were some one said as the committee retired,
to try to change the determination of Old
Hickory after he had once madeup his mind"

Scratches in Horses.

1t is my purpose in this writing, to give
few practical hints to avoid troublesome
disease, known as Scratches or Crease lis
generally caused by bad stable management
it seldom attacks the fore legs, and horses
with white legs are more subject to it than
any Others Strict cleanliness is the only
prevention. To days dirt should not be left
for the morrows cleaning A man that is
truly fond Of his horse will attend to his being
properly cleaned at the proper time--he will
say it is not good for him to sleep il, his sweat
well know the benefit Of an hours work at
night. .'....
SUPPOSE man with four horse team
and it is heavy horses that are more subject
to greasy heels with curry comb in one
hand and a brush in the other, for he can use
two hands in cleaning horses, though good
many drivers appear ignorant of the fact
spends one hour industrousy on his horses
sides, and legs, he will be surprised in the
morning, to find how much better he gets his
work done, how much sleekcr q horse looks,
than if he has been in the habit of feeding,
hanging up his gears and calling his work
done. He will from this time devote one
hour for cleaning-but let not this suffice
that is but just enough to save greasy heels
when opportunity permits, do the work well
regardless of time
| am not a stranger to the job-just get on
your knees, with corn cob and handful of
straw, rub of every speck of dirt, and con-
tinue rubbing after the dirt is gone, The
stable is the place to make your horse look
well. When you have him out he has got to
work, and he can perform that work better if
he has been properly cared for over night
The first appearance of grease is a dry scprvy
state of the skin of the heel-in white legs it
will show blue shade under the hair. Gus
tom has very properly retained the hair on
the horses heels-it guards the heels from
the rough surface of our ploughed felds+-
creating great necessity to handrub the
dirt therefrom 1t should never be washed,
as the washing keeps the heels moist, and to
prevent grease, 4he heels should be. kept dry
and clean -Kdryland Farmer. sn.3 u

THE MAN WHO DEsPIsED WHISKY DRINKERs

her, that an able matronly lady remarked in
the midst of conversation with IL grave look

"Oh, of all things in the world despise
whisky drinkers"
The gentleman dropped his knife and fork
in the ardor of his feelings, extended his
hand and took hers within his OWE, and with
emotion that threatened tears over the loss of
ruined sons, he replied with faltering words
Madame, respect your sentiments and
