BED YOUR STABLEs.-A horse, re-
marks the "Rural World" will get
tired of standing and treading on a
hard floor: so will COW, a sheep, a
man. A soft bed feels easy-gives
rest. And yet we neglect the bed,
ding of our stables to great extent
Injured limbs and other ailments, ,es-
pecially of the hoof, are the results
often of neglect here, as has
been clearly enough shown, and as
any man can clearly enough see, if
he gives the subject moments
thought. Bed with straw which is
plenty, or saw-dust, or tan bark or
shavings The dryer these materials
are the better. Every day remove
the moisteRed bedding and replace
with new. Such a floor, we'll bedded,
adds greatly to the warmth of a sta
bic, and thus becomes fodder saver.
The small holes and crevices in a
floor with good bedding upon them,
will let little or no cold through, and
will drain the stable. Rather have
a ground floor than hard, naked
plank.

How To MAKE HENS Law

How To MAKE HENS LAY.-Many
persons teed hens too much for lay
ing. To keep twenty hens through
the winter, give the them three pints
of corn and two quarts of oats or
"uckwheat per day; also, about twice
week, give them shorts or bran
wet with sour warm milk, of which
they seem very. fond; make it quite
wet, .aad putin large spoonful of
ground black pepper. Give them all
the green stuff that can be had, such
as cabbage leaves, parings of apples,
acorns and all etc. So fed with COM
Portable quarters, they will lay all

Pennsylvania Farming.

A Pennsylvania farmer writes to
the Now York Farmers Ciub his
method of farming, as follows:
l blow cloyer-seed in autumn OF
March, and lime so bushels to the
acre, and plant with corn. This |
harvest by cutting close to the ground
putting in shocks to cure. 1t is
husled at the shocks, the stocks tied
in bundles, hauled near the barn and
stocked. In the spring the corn stub
BILE is plowed for oats. The oats
stubble is dressed with barnyard ma
nure, plpwed and narrowed and left
until it is time to SOW wheat; then go
over with large cultivator, and af-
terward drill in the wheat. If in>
tending to make the field into now
ing land, SOW three pecks of timo-
thy seed (per ten aeres) with the
wheat, and in the spring one bushel
of clover seed. The farms in this
country are generally SO divided that
we have two parts for corn, two for
oats, two for wheat, two for moving,
and one for pasture. This is their
regular rotation. Their grass crops
are heavy, and generally yield DO to
so bushels of corn to the acre, 40 to
so bushels of oats, and ID to 25 bush
els of wheat.

4 horsc's sense is good common
sense. Many man does not know
half SO much about some things as a
horse, and there is grert difference
in horses, The horse is not natural
Iy suspicious, but he is timid when
young. lie learns very soon what
his seapons are-teeth and heels
and in what his security lies-fight.
His holiness and "the glory of his
nostrils" come when che rejoiceth in
bis strength" With his age comes
the knowledge of his powers, and if
he has never been mastered never
made to yield to any will but his own
If he is to be made useful. the
struggle must come sooner or later,
and man s"will or horse will must tri-
umph. We think it is best to begin
quite young with colts to CONTROL
them. So advise to halter a colt
while it runs with the mare, and to
do it after feeding it carrots and SUI
gar, until it thinks it will get only
caressing from mankind, and has no
fear of any nan. The colt submits
easily, because it is the easiest and
pleasantest thing he can do, provided
he is not frightened, and would as
lief be led as run loose if the curtail-
ment of his freedom is made up by
sweets of carrots. The sense of
smell in horses is very acute, and if
they are suspicious of anything, they
always approach it cautiously and
smell of it. They should be indulg-
ed in this, and harRess, sad lie, etc.
should all be investigated by the nose
as we'll as by the eye, before more
intiTate acquaintance is forced upon
the horse. A horse ring of 40 to so
feet diameter is one of the greatest
aids horse trainer can have. In
this horse too restive and spirited
TO take lesson may be tired out, so
as to be very docile, land tired horse
is much more susceptible to both IA
vers and instruction, than one full of
rim, and fire and play. There are
a few very simple common sense rules
which, if followed, will commend
themselves to the horse as we'll as to
the trainer, viz:
1st.-Always feel kindly toward a
horse, no matter what he does to you,
and consequently never show "teme
per-" Remember the horse knows
instinctly how you feel.
2d.-Never go near horse if you
are afraid of him, the horse will
know it and take advantage of it be-
fore you acknowledge it yourself.
3d.-Never undertake anything
with horse that you do net know
you can carry out.
4th.--''Make haste szowly," teach
ing the animal what you want of him
as child learns IT'S A.B-C-s, one
letter at time, being sure that he
knows each simple thing before you
,attempt to teach another; and repeat
lessons often.
5th.-Reward each effort to do as
you wish, whether he means it Or
does it accidentally.
9th. BE sure that it is your will
and not his that conquers every
time.
Following these rules, you may
make a horse do almost any thing, if
he has not been spoiled before you
get him.

A POWERFUL FERTELIzER.-Ey-
cry farmer has SCOT at his command,
whose presence in stovepipes and
chimneys is not unfrequently the
cause of fires, occasioning the loss
sometimes of both property and life.
This agent for evil is one of the most
valuable manures, and nothing but
the most culpable carelcssness ano
Indifference will suffer it to remain a
standing menace to life and property,
when it can be easily removed and
turned to a good account in the field
or garden. Twelve quarts of SCOT in
a hogshead of water will make pow
erful manure, which will improve the
growth of flowers, garden vegetables
or root-crops. In either liquid or
solid state it makes an excellen tops
dressing for grass or cereal roots.
