Treatment of Horses.

i Many valuable horses are yearly spoil

while the last, though thorough enough
as regards labor, perform their opera !
tons III SO rough manner as to excite /
the animal to resistance, rendering him
suspicious and intractable. The first
thing to be done, in taking in hand a
strange horse, is to come to a pleasant
understanding with him. Onapproach-
ing the animal for the first time, if the
right stamp, the horse will examine the
party making his acquaintance with
great intentness. The scrutiny should
be mutual-eye meeting eye steadily,
aud, on the part of the groom, pleasant

the part of the horse be favorable, a
deep and long-drawn respiration will
succeed, followed by a return to the food
upon which he had been solacing him.
self when first interrupted, implying
thereby that he is ready to be dealt with
in such way as may be deemed best
for the interests of all concerned. On
the contrary, if the interview has not
been agreeable, the horse will throw up
his head, look angry, and move restless

of the acquaintance is not desirable

Agriculture.


ancs Sa6kind has become civilized,
80 - been no one pursuit which has
contributed more to promote the com
fort and consequent happiness of the
human race than agriculture. Through
q the arts and sciences have been de.
yelved and brought to their present
state Of perfection. Until quite recently
IN the worlds history, agricultural labor
was mostly entrusted to bondsmen and
slaves, which labor applied to the virgin
soil, produced enough to support the
population of the country by simply
blowing and sowing; therefore no inn
provement could necessarily be expect
ed.
Whenever the produce Of any country
exceeds the demand, no attention is
given to agriculture but it is left to
plod its weary way the best it can. AS
long as this country raises cereals for
export it is fact, that majority of our
farmers will allow their farms to dete-
riorate in value and productiveness.
That there is an absolute necessity at
the present time for agricultural i'm
provement needs no argument to con-
vince any rejecting mind that the soil
of the old States does not produce as
much per acre as it did half century
ago. Even Ohio does not produce as
much as the virgin soil of the West.
Hence, in many Of the older States we
find farmers selling their farms, and re-
moving West. In 1860 there were 4 900
less farmers in the State Of Ohio than
there were in 1850. This Is q relative
loss of 54,5ls inhabitants, according to
the increase of population. If such be
Facts, who knows but, within the next
few generations, We shall have landed
aristocracy, but little inferior to that of
England. The truth is, there are but
few farmers in this country, who are
unwilling to sell their farms at the first
opportunity when a fair price is offered.
So long az farms are bought and sold
with Is much facility as horses, just SO
leBg may we expect the fertility of the
soil to decrease. Are we making the
progress in agriculture that we should,
or are we following the principles and
theories of our grandfather. This is a
question every practical farmer should
ask himself Because our ancestors did
everything by physical labor, it is no
reaeon why we should not use all the
labor-saving machines which our means
Justify.
Up to the year 1900, agriculture had
been followed as the mechanical arts
saad been pursued; the farmers had no
true idea Of the cause of the fertility of
the soil, and since that time we have
had many important changes brought
about by ingenious mechanics, chemists
and botanists, in regard to agricultural
implements, constituents of the soil,
vital properties of plants, &C.; and there
is no doubt in the minds of men proper
~ applied to practical agriculture, that
the results will be salutary as the spring
showers are to vegetation. B.M.B.

NEW MEMPHIS THEATRE. The beauti-
fnl drama, entitled The Marble Heart,
was presented on the occasion of Mr.
Barreits benefit last evening. As the
young sculptor, Raphael Duchalet,"
Mr. Barrett was magnificent, especially
in the third act, where Mile Marco =
tells him that she does not love him
His acting in this scene was so true to
nature as TO affect all hearts, the au-
dience listening to every word with
breathless attention, and at the fall Of
the curtain greeted him with storm of
applause that only subsidized after he
came out and made a neat little speech.
Mr.. Wheelock as NJ Voltage" the edi-
tor of the Magic Lantern, was admira-
Bile, and his correct acting and splendid
elocution pleased ALL Mrs. flanagan as
Il" NJ lie Marco " (the marble heari), per
formed in her usual graceful and easy
manner Mr. Marston also filled his
character in very able style. The stage
arrangements were perfect, as indeed
they always are at the theatre, it being
the general remark of all the stars who
visit the New Memphis, that Manager
Thompson has as good stage as any
one in America. Tonight win be pre-
scented Lester Wallack's new play The
Romance Of a Poor Young Man, for the
last time, and those who have not seen
il should avail themselves of the present
opportunity Mr.. Barrett personates
the poor young man Manuel, Marquis

by Mrs. and Mr. flanagan, Mr., Maston,
and the other members of the company.

Cotton Market.

In Liverpool there was an advance Of I'd
yesterday, with corresponding advance in
New York of one to two cents. which makes
the market here to-day exceedingly firm at our
quotations. Altogether the market looks in a
much better position than it did a week ago
and should there be no unfavorable European
news to interfere we may look for some con-
siderable activity in the market. As the
amount of Manufactured goods on hand is
small. the spinnors will have to come into the
