How to Select a Horse.

A horse may please the eye at first
glance, and yet be deficient in excellent
qualities. For this reason the inexperi-
2eneed require definite rules by which they
may be guided or,-at, least. assisted when
passing Judgment upon the merits of the
highest type of the equine race. Enter
tanning this opinion! we are induced TO eX-
tract a few notes from an old ldVOlume. I'LL
In choosing race horse, by his external
appearance. we are told, that we mustj Judge
OF his symmetry 5y angular demonstra-
1st. Draw;a base line from the stifle joint
along the bottom of the chest to the eX-
treme point of the elbow, aud to the
shoulder blade joint, -, -.-1....- -.
a. Draw a line from the curb or hook
by the hip, joint above the back, to an i'm
aginary point.
- Sd. Draw another line from the point of
the shoulder, ranging with the shoulder and
passing above the back until it Gintersects
the1ine at the imaginary point.
4th. Draw a line from. she iDtersecting
point of the shoulders, giving the same
declension until it intersects the base.
5th. From the stifle to the point of the
buttock. thence to the hip joint, thence de-
clining to the stif1e.
9th. Draw line from the hip to the
base line, right angular declension, then to
the shoulder up to the crest.
80 7th.. Then draw straight line, regard
line intersected at the shoulder at the be-
ginning Of the crest.
Sth. Then take line from the point of
the shoulder, aud angular degree, ranging
with the shoulder blade to the top of the
crest.
IS 9th Then, regardless of the rising of
the crest, draw straight line from the top
of the shoulder blade to intersect with the
point of the former line.
- Having followed these comprehensive
directions, we are told that the real sy M
metry of grand and beautiful horse,
possessed with muscular powers and
Strength, is formed by right angltd
triangle; and tie further from it a race
horses form is, the less pretensions that
zhorsei has to beauty, speed, bottom, or last
ingness ability to carry weight, or activity.
In addition to the above rules, it should be
remembered that low coupling in the
back is the mark of weakness; thick,
upright shoulder indicates stumbler,
while great declivity and athin shoulder
denotes speed. u A narrow breast is a sure
sign of weakness, as is also low lOin.
The rising loin is a mark OF muscular
strength, of ability 10 carry weight, of
speed and endurance A short and broad
hook denotes strength, while broad stif1e,
we'll let down, is a sign of activity and
; .lastingness. Especial attention should be
paid, to the knees, which should be small
but compactly formed, suggesting the idea
of iron-like strength.
As a general thing, a long horse is prefer
able to a short one, because his stride is
greater, which, of course, gives him a
greater degree of speed. These sao oges-
tions may greatly assist ttheineXperienced,
dOrone is not competent to decide upon the
merits of race horse without having given
hthe subject the closest study.-TUt, Field
and Farm. -s,fst - -s

In circular issued by A. H. Hoyey,
scotsman Of Chicago agent for the Good
rich Seeding Potatoes the following di-
rections, said to be based on actual prac-
tice, are given as to the best method Of
raising large crops of potatoes:
In the fall pillow deeply and subsoil pillow,
in all eighteen 10 twenty inches in depth.
In early spring, pillow and subsoil across
the winter burrows, harrow and roll.
Mark out, as for corn, three feet apart
each way, opening the furrow eight inches
deep.
At the intersection drop a whole potato,
the largest you have, and spread upon il a
handful (about forty bushels per acre. Of
compost made Of eight parts Of wood-ashes,
four Of bone phosphate of lime, ionr Of fine
ground plaster. two Of finely slaked lime,
ounces Of artificial fertilizer per hill. Then
cover, roll and spread 1000 pounds per acre
Of good artificial fertilizer.
As soon as the young plants appear, RIM
the cultivator close 10 and between, but not
over them, in each direction. Afterwards,
and before the weeds come up, cultivate
both ways, with Kno1's horse hoe-so ar
ranged as 10 cut as shallow as possible, and
keep the surface entirely fiat. Repeat this
at short intervals, three times. Then hand
hoe three times still keeping fat surface.
Allow no killing at any time, nor any weeds
10 grow.
Az soon as the tops are dead, dig in
clear, dry weather with heavy fve-tined
digging forks; spread, under cover, TO dry,
ans store in cool, dark, dry, airy cellar,
spreading half pint Of freshly slaked lime
Ia powder on each bushelSof potatoes.
Gather and compost the dry tops, for
application next autumn then pillow and
sub-soil as before, for next years crop.
The following are the advantages Of this
system of cultivation:
No possible entire failure Of the crop;
no rot in healthy varieties; the largest
yield the soil and variety are capable Of;
the largest proportion of large potatoes;
no degeneracv Of varieties, but continued
improvement; no necessity for rotation of
crops the potato can be thus grown almost
indefinitely on the same land, with, per
haps at long intervals, a seeding to clover
60 maintain the supply of vegetable fibre
in the soil no loss by late spring frosts
IL the early growth is cut Of, the dormant
eyes will grow and the crop be saved; the
greatest economy Of culture and harvest
ing; the highest table quality Of potatoes
IL the materials for the compost cannot
be obtained, top-dress heavily in the fall,
AFTER blowing, with barn manure, but never
use IL in the season Of planting Ii may
decrease the crop, but tends 20 engender
disease, especially in wet seasons.
