BOWLING GREEN, December 81, 1868.
Last night between and o'clock the
store of r. W. Wyatt, at Pamela station,
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac
railroad, was burnt. The whole Of his
stock was lost, though fully insured, I'M
derstand. The explosion Of several kegs
of powder in the store was felt here quite
sensibly, which gave rise to fears in some
of the more timid of an earthquake. The
fire was the work of an incendiary, and
supposed to be negro man named James
Peyton, who some time since robbed Mr..
Wystt's store, was arrested and put in jail,
but soon after escaped. o.

agent, has bought g lot here with build

going the rounds Of, the papers in effect
that the citizens of this place had raised
$500 as fund with which to aid in the
prosecution Of Grant for the killing of Pol

When the death of Pollard was announced
here, there was,.of course, some little ex-
element amongst those who were best
acquainted with Pollard as a newspaper
man, and diversity of opinion as to the
conduct of Grant and his culpability, but
nothing further.

Hints ON Draught-No Check-Rein ON
a Draught Horse.

If horse cannot lay to his work, and bend
his head down when he desires to do so, be
sure that he Is not properly harnessed.
Whenever horse is employed for the
purpose Of drawing any vehicle it is Of the
utmost Importance that he should be able
to employ all his strength to advantage.
Every one who considers st oil must &C
knowledge that if horse has to do his work
in cramped and confined condition, or when
he is inconveniently placed as regards the
load, he cannot exert his full power, which
is 30 much loss to his master; or, IT forced
to perform q certain amount, then he Is
obliged to waste great deal more ct his
strength Tor muscular power) than is re-
ouired, to his own great pain and injury.
The act of pulling is performed by lean
ing forward, with the weight of the body
against the resistance of the opposing force,
and then, by strong movements of the
limbs, keeping up and increasing the pres
sure; the weight of the body being of the
utmost importance, as any one may try by
pulling at a rope passing over one shoulder,
and standing upright all the time. 1t will be
found that what was before pulled with
ease cannot now be moved at all, or, at any
rate, only by the most severe and continued
efforts Of the limbs. These muscular move
ments, exhausting the strength, try the sys-
tenn violently, whereas the body-weight is
easily employed without consuming the vital
energies. sz-g r-. r.-~ .v1s.z7 a.e..
First, and, unfortunately, in too many
cases, the collar is quite unfit for the animal.
Secondly, the horse is often prevented
from throwing his weight into the collar by
q tight chece-rei,s-au useless and painful in
cum brance introduced by vanity, and re-
tanned by thoughtlessness amounting to
cruelty. The real object with which it was
introduced was to make every horse to
which it was applied, however weak, or old,
or poor, assume the lofty carriage OF the
thoroughbred horse. Fortunately, this Vi
tiated taste is rapidly going out Of fashion
as better information Is diffused. Fe,o OF
the London ca6-drirers use check-resnS,
knowing them to be inconsistent with pro-
per work. 5 ss es5,.s .1..4.s 5a....
Thirdly, great cause of unnecessary
pain and labor to many horses is neglect
in Keeping the ,ohsels, creased in proper
manner. !" Some persons may not be
aware, "ssys Hieever in his work, Bipeds
and QuGdrtsDeds, 'tthat the trifing neglect
Of pair Of wheels being comparatively
dry or well creased will cause twenty miles
to take far more work out of horse than
forty would in the latter case" tfkLaiz {

Greatest Amount Of Feed and Manure

per Acre. ---
IS. s. A., New Jersey, inquiries :: "What
will yield on q given quantity OF land the
largest amount Of matter suitable for feed
and making manure 7" The three best
crops for these purposes are corn, clover,
and roots, such as the different kinds Of
field beets and turnips. All Of these are
excellent for feeding and making manure,
and should be more or less grown on every
good farm. Where land is cheap, and good
for corn, as in the western States, corn will
be mainly grown for feed, and manure will
not be considered in selecting the crop.
But there are many reasons for growing
more clover OF the West. It is cheaper for
at lesst portion of winter forage, while its
fertilizing and renovating effects while
growing are needed on thousands Of failing
wheat-felds. The rich heterogeneous manure
obtained by feeding clover, if applied to
wheat or corn, will largely increase these
crops. -.r......
While corn is more largely grown on new
lands for feed, in older sections grass and
clover are mostly relied on. As making
manure as well as feeding is the present OBJ
ject, shall refer mainly to clover, which
should be more especially grown for both
purposes. This is done because clover 10
