The Horse and u,s0un,i,Ies.


The following hints from the Ameri-
can Farmers Horse Book will be useful
TO farmers:
"The qualities Of the sire, of more inn
portance than all Others, are his capabili-
ties Of endurance aud kindliness of dispo-
sition. The former depends mainly upor,
sOundness Of wind, compactness Of muscl g,
and proper form. His limbs should not be
too long, but trim and clean, and his ioints
round and we'll ret. The hips is the most
essential points 20 be looked at in regard TO
the horse, as in them and his hind limbs
lies his great power. But the shoulders
must not be neglected; they shculd be
broad, not high and sharp, but round over
the top.
For the average farm horses Of this
country, about sixteen hands is che most
desirable height Much above or below
this standard is Objectionable. A horse,
with full form and well developed muscle,
Il il preferable 90 have below rather than
above sixteen hands high. The color Of
the hair il an indication of some impor-
lance. A deep dark bay ia the best color
for strength an endurance, and generally
the most desirable qualities as regards dis
position. The iron gray il the next, then
the black, aud, as the shades grow more and
more light, they become increasingly OBJ
iectionable. Whatever the color Of the
horse, the name and tail should be darker
than The hair of the body. Beware of that
horse with dark hair and light name aud
tail Fine, short hair betokens fine blood,
and coarse, long hair the reverse yet there
are some breeds Of horses with long hair
and totally lacking any signs of fine blood,
that undoubtedly possess great powers Df
endurance

tibn win be asked, how can We do IT'D
The answer is, the chances for so doing,
Is in putting in the land In a proper state
for receiving the seed. John 81. Dcnt, of
Georgia, says three implements are ne
cessaFy: LIST Large turning-plows ID.
Large irontooth harrows and 81. Putting
the seed into the ground with horse
grain drills, Mahuring should be done
if we have the manure, CT if we can az.
ford to buy il Ifnot, select your land,
and rely on the pillow, harrow and grain
drill. Nearly every farmer has his
favorite pillow, but be what plow.it may,
pillow deep and thoroughly, ia August or
September turning under whatever is on
his land, be It stubhle, grass, weeds or
stalks. When this has beeu done, harrow
the ground smooth and even as you can,
and you are ready then for the drill 1t
may here be asked, why prefer drilling
to broad cast sowingl2 There are
three reasons why it is preferable I:
lst One knows what he is doing
that is, yOu know how much seed
you arc putting to the acre-no guess
work about it--and IL the seed is good,
you know the stand yon viii have; ID.
Farmers who have used these drills ass
sert wheat escapes being water-killed
when drilled, as the covering of tho seed
and its depth is uniform; 3D. And should
you manure, or desire to SOW clover on
your wheat ground, the drill does it ef-
fectiyely, at the same time whilst sowing
the wheat; hence, with the drill, there il
labor saving exact work, and more safety
from freezing out in winter. In short
it can DO well done IL every farmel

Ants About Trees.

Rev. w. p. Smith, Of Fayetteville
Texas, communicates the following sue
cessful mode Of dealing with ants at the
roots Of fruit trees, which are very trOu-
blesome and destructive, particularly in
warm climates: 81 was raising some to-
bacco, and operated with the green
leaves in the following manner: re-
moved the earth from around the trees
or vines as much as | could without in-
iuring the roots then put handful Of
tobacco leaves around the tree, or vine
where the ants worked, covered them
nicely with the earth, and pressed it wei.
In few cases ! had to repeat the dose,
but have tried it often, with uniform
success in driving of the ants and saving
the tree or vine

cumbers are given in recent number Of
the Country Gentleman

patch, one containing salt, another water
for washing Of the soil, and third 10 re-
ceive the cucumbers They should be one
third grown. Cut them of with scissors
leaving about half an inch Of stem. Wash
or rinse each one in the vessel Of water,
and without wiping, lay Il in the tub, cask,
or lar intended for the cueumbers. Put in
Just enough salt 10 imbed them without in
terstices. The water on them will make a
strong brine, or rather mixture Of brine
and salt, in which they will keep months
and years"

mended for preparing them for the table

brine for two weeks; take them out and
wash them, and put them in water to soak
for five or six days; then drain them and
PIT them in a jar with the following in
gradients: To one gallon Of vinegar add
three pounds Of brown sugar, two or three
