Thfraffne fbF .uofe Land.

One of the most grievous errors of the past
ar,d preeent genera tion1 at the American hr-
mer. is the almost ineatiable thirst for moro
land Not one in thousand, though pos
sesscd of FIVE times rs many acres ~ he can
proftably or successfully till, is satisfied.
While this is perfectly natural, 1t IL at the
same time very unwise. The farmer recog-
nizes his wealth in the multiplication of his
broad acres. lust as the merchant or banker
does his in the accumulation OF greenbacks;
INT the difference between the two is that the
f. rrner may add acre to acre, without the
ab;Iisy to render the investment productive,
While the merchant or banker has no diff
Guilty IN finding profitable investments for his
greenbacks. It is always bad policy to buy
more land, and give manure in homeopathic
doses to that already in possession.
The safe and sure guide for the farmer is
than he can keep in perfect good heart, and
every days experience demonstrates the facts
that, with occasional exceptions, a little farm
we'll titled is more profitable in the end than
4 large one indifercntly cultivated. We
once read story Of Erenchnan who had
two daughters. One OF them married, and
received half Of the paternal vineyard as
her dowry. To the old mans surprise, the
half he had reserved, receiving az much cul-
tivation as he formerly bestowed upon the
whole, yielded as much as the whole had.
The second married, and he gave her one
half Of what he had left, and still he had as
many grapes from his remaining fourth: IS
he used to get from the whole. There is q
whole volume Of practical truth in this lit
tie anecdote. Its moral is, attempt the cul-
tivation of no more land than you can cult
vate well .-Jo1rnd! Of Lie Farm

Walking Horses.

The best gait horse ever has for every
day use is good walk. 1t is gait that not
one in ten possesses. Colts are not trained
10 walk in all the Eastern States. Young
America wants more speed. Kentucky has
more good walking horses than any other
state, for their horseback travelling has long
been IN fashion for men and women, over a
country where muddy roads at times render ed
any other gait impossible, and SO horses have
been bred for the saddle and trained to q
walking gait. This is also the case in the
Western States, and perhaps might have been
so in New England, when our grandmothers
rode to meeting on pillion behind our
grandfathers. But one horse wagons have
put horseback riding out of fashion, and
now good riding horse is more rare than
one that can trot q mile in 2.40.
At the Springfield. Mass, show of 1860,
the writer was one of a committee to award
prizes 10 the two best walking horses. Out
of seventeen entered, the committee found
one which was considered first rate walker
This was Morrill, mare, which walked five
miles in an hour with ease. Two others
were fair walkers, and the others knew no
gait that would be called walking At the
New York State Fair the same state of facts
was again developed
letter from Wisconsin saws az think
horses trained to walk fast would bel greater
benefit to farmers in general than fast trot-
tiers, as almost all of their work has to be
done with a walk l once knew man of
Massachusetts, who, before the railroads were
built, kept from two to four teams at work
on the road, and never allowed them to trot
at all and made the distance in quicker time
than his neighbors, who made their horses
trot at every covenient place. He said that
when a horse commenced to walk after . txot
he walked much. slower than his .eouuaou
gait, if kept on a walk, and thereby lost
more than he gained. Will farmers think Of
this. and pay moro attention to Walking
horses.-Solos Ro6insOx.

Remedy for Tender Mouth in Horses.

1t is always desirable point gained to
understand the true cause OF any effect,
wound, disease, or complaint. S)me horses
viii always be exceedingly tender in the
mouth, while others are sometimes unman-
ageable. The corroding of the iron bride
bit in the mouth Of thin skinned. high
strung animal, will produce canker in the
sides Of the mouth, just az mechanics often
get sore holding cut nails in their lips while
81 work. Sometimes the head stall is buckled
up 60 short that the iron bit is drawn up
with much force against tie sides of the
mouth. # the skin be tender the animal will
be liable to have o sore mouth and the
wound will be so very tender that scarcely
the pressure Of the weight of the reins can
he endured. Sometimes the check rein is
drawn UP numerically tight. All such things
cause sore mouth.
The most satisfactory remedy for sore
too short, lengthen it, SO that the bit may
ride lower down toward the lips If the sore
is produced by drawing up the check rein too
tightly, give it greater length. If the nature
OF the iron il such that the rust from the bit
poisons the tender mouth, let the bit be Gov
cred with a piece OF firm leather. sewed on
with the seam on the lower side OF the bit, so
that the smooth leather may come in contact
with the mouth. Let heavy piece OF calf
skin be employed to cover the bit rather than
thin, fappy leather. IF the iron about the
mouth be galvanized thoroughly, that will
prevent ell corrosion Of the iron, and conse-
quently injury to the mouth But, after al!
the coating is worn off, let the bit be covered
with silver plate, which viii cost only a few
dimes. \ silver wash will be of little value.
But silver plated bit will last many years,
and win afford perfect security against sore
mouth when the cause has been attributed to
the rust of the iron. Sometimes the BIT is a
" twisted bit = with sharp edges, which. be-
ing drawn harshly against the mouth will re-
move the skin-N y Times.
