How to teach Horses to Back.

A horse that will not or don't know
how to back, should be harnessed be
side one that is kind and we'll bro ken
and hitched to lumber wagon, load
ed quot too heavy with wood, rails
or anything at hand, or that you may
wish TO move and then find in the
road or field, knoll where the sur
face is smooth and free from stones,
aud the descent from one TO two rods.
Drive the loaded wagon 10 the top
and after stopping a minute or so,
command your horses TO back, pul -
ing steady but firm on the lines. The
wagon being in a position to start
very easy, aud being loaded will not
easily stop after It's in motion, aud
your horse, if the harness be good,
will be very likely to back down the
hill. After getting TO tho bottom of
the hill, speak gently to him. BE
sure to say ''whoa about the time
you see the wagon is going to stop.
Patting him and rubbing your hand
over his head and hce, repeat the q,
ing up and backing down hill until
he knows what it means to back, and
then commence backing tho empty
wagon on the level, gradually iucreas.
ing the load, aud you will soon be
able to back ell the load II would be
reasonable to back, not forgetting to
pat your horse, rubbing the hand
over the face and head, and calling
him a good fellow, and of course he
will act like one. He will soon make
up his mind that he really Isl good
fellow, aud Of course he will act like
one, and will become your friend and
willing slave, and do what he is re-
quired to, even bordering on the i'm
possibilities. ta

Strange Disease Among the Cat
tie Ravsges Of the Mad Itoh.

The London (0.) Journal says, we
regret to learn from our friend, Mr..
Stephen Watson, residing noar Lon
don, that siuco Monday of last week
he has lost nine fine, fat steers, and
twenty. nine head Of lal sheep, from
= strange and terribly fatal disease,
known As the "Mad Itch" We say
strange" disease, from the fact that
although disease With which and
tho cause Of which, our stock men
are generally acquainted, yet for a
remedy, none seems 10 be known.
It is strange, also, from the manner
IN which the animal is affected aud in
its perfect fatality. OF the cause Of
this disease all are agreed that II is
the result Of feeding cattle or sheep
together with hogs, on green corn
fodder, or. as in this case Of Mr.. Wat
ton's stock, in feeding them together
on corn Of very late planting, cut up
very green aud still az this season,
retaining the properties of green fod.
der. The hogs chewing the stalks
and thus extracting all the sacharine
juices, drop the dry pith in wads,
which is picked up by the cattle and
sheep aud eaten. This innutritious
and indigeshblo substance having
been received into the stomach causes
violent Inflammation which results
in death in from twelve to twenty
four hours.
In the manner in which 10 outward. !.
ly Affects the animal IL is also
"strango'-the FIRST symptoms OF its
presence being manifested in a pocu.
liar twitohing Of the muscles OF the
lower jaw aud lip, followed in short
time by terrible itching, which the
animal attempts to relieve by rub
bing its lowor jaw and throat against
any object IL can reach, until il fro.
quently rubs all the hair and skin
from these parts; rubbing, believing
and moaning until death relieves il
Of its terrible misery.
We have been thus particular ID
describing it for tho double purpos,
Of calling the attention Of our stock
men to the danger Of feeding corr
cut green, to mixed stock, even II
the winter, and TO ask the question
Who knows n remedy ?
