WHAT DO YOU DO WITH Soar SUBS

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH SOAR SUBS
There is large quantity of plant food
Of the choicest kind in a barrel of soap +;
and it is more valuable after it has been
dissolved in the wash-tub, than if it were
applied to the soil in the garden in an un-
diluted condition. For this reason, soap
suds is an excellent fertilizer. The Scot
tish Farmer says on this subject: CAL
though generally deemed only fit for being
run off into the common sewer in the
most expeditions manner possible, they
are nevertheless highly beneficial vegeta-
BILE feeders, as well as useful insect pre-
ventives. Hence they should never be
wasted, more especially by parties having
gardens, as their application to the ground,
whether in winter or summer, will show
beneficially not only on ordinary vegeta-
BILE crops, but also on berry bushes, shrubs,
border flowers, and even window pot
plants; while if poured or syringed over
roses, cabbages, &c., they will prevent, or
at least mitigate, the mischievous doings
of the green fly and caterpilars."

BREAKING CoLTs.-I am strongly op-
posed, both IN principle and practice, to
''breaking colts,"-that is, allowing them
to attain the age of two or more years be-
fore they are taken in hand for learning
the principles which are to form so i'm
portant part Of their future life. There
should be no ''breaking' about it. The
education should begin as soon as the colt
is born, and, if properly attended to, will
be perfect by the time he is large enough
to drive. Being led or tied with halter
should be his first lesson, and the sooner
he learns it the shorter the struggle and
the more permanent the lesson; never
give him a chance to break loose, for once
done and he will remember it for long
time, and, il The lesson be too often re-
peated, he will make proficient in this
not desirable art.-Dovid, in Ger. Tel.

To CURE AKIoKING HoRsE.-I saw
the following method in an agricultural
paper, and have proved it to my entire
satisfaction. Fasten a rope to the fore
foot and pass it over the belly-band back
to the driver. With this there will be no
trouble to the driver in holding up the foot
whenever the horse tries to kick, but dis
couraging trouble to the horse, and a
trouble he will avoid any risk of being
involved in many times. With the string
thus in your hand, and a patient determi-
nation under all circumstances not to lose
your patience with the animal, any kicker
can be cured.-Workimg Farmer.

Mysterious rossions 3

The following curious story il told In
connection with the death Of Lord Fran
els Douglas, who was recently lost in
ascending the Alps. 1t belongs to a
class of facts which are difficult of cx-
planation by our common philosophy:
During the halt which took place. one
OF the guides, says an account, stated
that he was frightened. What really
passed was, that the guide TO whom
Lord Francis was attached, said, Gen
tlemen, there II great reason to fear that
we shall not be able to effect our descent
without al accident; therefore let each
OF Us think about his soul.n Then Mr..
Hudson took out his Bible and read. -
Lord Francis went apart from the 9TH
ers and remained in silence and medita-
ton for whole hour. On the same day
the Marchioncss of Quecnsbury was in
her garden in the Isle of Wight She
was working and praying according to
her usual custom, All ut once she OK
perienced sudden rcvulsion of the
heart; shc thought she felt that her SON
was in danger, and she uttered "A fervent
prayer to his Heavenly Father to pro-
tect him. For three days the impression
remained on her mind that Lord Fran
els was dying of famine. The same day
a domestic had vision in which she
saw the young maA -ca"ar.@I ss.sa.

of the young man? Could he have
fallen down crevasse, and there hav.

II can affirm that, previous to the as
