The Way to Blanket Horses.

! But few penons comparatively under
stand how to apply blanket to horse
to prevent him from contracting cold.
We frequently see the blanket folded
double and lail across the rump and a
part Of the animals back, leaving bare
those parts of Che body of horse which
surround the lungs and require the
benefit Of a blanket in preference to his
TANKS and runlp. When We are exposed
to current Of cold air, to guard against
any injury from contracting cold, We
shield orr shoulders, neck, chest and
back. IfthoF parts be properly pro-
tectcd, the lower part of the body will
endure degree Of cold far more intense,
without any injury to the body, than if
the lungs were kept warm with suitable
Towering. TIN same thing holds good
lin the protectibn of horses. The blanket
should cover the neck, withers and
shoulders, andtbe brought around the
breast and butteaed or buckled together
[as closely as MN buttons his overcoat
Exhen abersstps4sse q driving storm. Let
lthe lungs Of horse be kept well pro-
tected with a heavy blanket, and he will
seldom contract cold, even if the hind
most parts Of his body are not covered.
Many Of our best transfers protect
the breasts of their horses by piece of
floth about two feet square, hanging
Gown from the lower end of the collar.
This is an excellent practice in cold
weather., as thesmost important part is
t. guard against the cold wind, especial
!, when travelibg toward strong cur
rsnt. The forward end of horses blankets
Should be madeto fit as closely around
tho breast of a horse as our garments fit
Our bodies. Mft horses take cold as
readily as men, IF not blankcted while
standing after exercising sufficiently to
pr,duce persperation. So long as a
horse is kept in notion, there is little.
danger of his suffering from cold; but
albw him to stand for a few minutes
without a blanketto protect his should
ers and lungs, and he will take cold
sooner than some hen.

The Linn County Gazette states that
two little girls of Mr.. Chedu, aged and
10 years, met with sad accident few
days ago, ut the hands of their brother,
aged years. The family were out in a
field, and had taken gun along to kill
what game might chance to come in the
way. Sometime in the afternoon the faith.
err sent the children home, telling the boy
to take the gun with him, which he was
very particular to uncap, fearing some ac-
cident might happen. On the road home
the boy managed to recap the dangerous
instrument, and, aiming it at bis little sis.

THE LITTLE ONES.

Be patient with the little ones. Let
neither their slow understanding nor their
occasional pertness offend you to provoke
the sharp reproof Remember the world
is new to them, and they have no slight
task to grasp with their unripened intellect
the mass Of facts and truths that crowd
upon their attention. You are grown to
maturity and strength, through years of
experience and it i'll becomes you to fret
at child who fails to keep pace with your
thought. Teach him patiently, as God
teaches you, slime upon line, precept upon
precept, here little and there a littie.''
Cheer him on in his conflict of mind in
after years his ripe. rich thought shall rise
and call you blessed. Bide patiently the
endless questionings of your children. Do
not roughly crush the rising spirit of free
inquiry with an inpatient word or .frown,
nor attempt, on the contrary, a long
instructive reply to every casual question.
Seek rather to deepen their curiosity.
Convert, if possible, the careless question
into profound and earnest inquiry. Lei
your reply send the little questioner forth,
not so much proud Of what he has learned
as anxious to know more. Happy, thou,
if, in giving your child particle oil
truth he asks for, you can whet his
curiosity with a glimpse of the mountain.
truth lying beyond SO wilt thou send
forth a philosopher, and not a silly
pedant into the world. Bear patiently
the childish humors Of those little ones.
They arc but the untutored pleadings OIL
the young spirit for care and cultivation.
lrritated into strength, and hardened into
habits, they will haunt the whole Of life
like fends of despair, and make the little
ones curse tho day they were born; but
corrected kindly and patiently, they be.
come elements ofhappiness and usefulness.
Passions are but fires, that may either
scorch us with their uncontrolled fury,
or may yield us a genial and needful
warmth. Bless your little ONES with a
patient care Of their childhood, and they
will certainly consecrate the glory and
grace of their manhood to your service.
Sow in their hearts the seeds of a
perennial blessedness its ripencd fruit
will afford you perpetual joy Michigan

Don Piatt on the Corrupt Crew at Wash.
ingtOn.

1uS SVAS
Don PIATT, one of the ablest, raciest
and THE most candid and fearless OF
the writers for the Radical press in
Ohio, recently delivered an agricultural
address before the Ross County Society
and among other things said:
'The agricultural interest is every.
where but in one spot. We will no,
find it at Washington. Among its
painted women and it, unprincipled
men, on the foorsgof Congress, in the
lobbies, about the avenues, are to be
found every interest but that During
six months residence l never met an
agricultural or horticultural man, or the
representative of such. There is an
Agricultural Bureau, it is true, where a
man, selected because of his entire ig-
noranes Of agriculture, preSides, from
which immense quantities of worthless
seeds are issued in small parcels by de-
signing congressman, and from whence
comes report which treats of every
thing on Gods footstool but the interest
we have most at heart.
II would not advise you, my horti-
cultural friends, to try to remedy this
by the creation of a ring or lobby. The
fellows already there would not only
cheat the gees out of your head, but
make you the authors of your own ruin.
Let me gitc you an illustration: The
wool growers of the West sent a lobby
on to denhnd that their wool should be
protected against that of foreign growth.
1t was not to the interest Of the manu-
facturer 70 grant such protection, and
so fight began that continued nine
months and ended in a compromise.
And whatSwas that compromise? Why,
a ring-master Of the iron interest told
me, with d grin, that he got enough
duty on thu shears used in clipping to
to make upf for all lost on wool. But
this was not all.
"The manufacturer, fearing the re-
suit, delayed the passage or the act un-
til the last moment, and in the mean
while imported large quantities of foreign
wool while the ports were open, SO that,
when, under the stimulus of the tariff,
the farmer rushed into business to find
no market, and here, in Ohio, thousands
on thousands Of sheep were slaughtered
last fall for the-tsllow. The wool would
not pay to fed them through the win

"Stick to YOur Bush.',

"Sttck TO Y0ur Bush."
We think this little article ia splendid
one.
Dir. Morgan was rich, and also good
man. The people of the town respected
him, and sent him to Parliament, and sci.
dom undertook anything without asking
his advice. If school house was to be
built, the plan had to be talked over with
him. Widow P asked him what she
should plant in her field. Farmer S.
always got his advice in buying cattle, and
Mrs. R consulted him about bringing
up her boys.
When asked how he was so successful,
Mr.. Morgan said: ~ will tell you how it
was. One day, when was a lad, par
ty Of boys and girls were going to dis
tant pasture to pick whortlebcrries. I
wanted to 20 with them, but was fearful
that my father would not let me. When
l told him what was going on, and he at
once gave me permission to 60 with them,
could hardly contain myself for JOY,
and rushed into the kitchen and got big
basket, and asked my mother for lunch
con. had the basket on my arm, and
was just going out of the gate, when my
father called me back. He took hold Of
my hand and said, in very gentle voice {:
Joseph, what are you going for? to pick
berries, or to play2' TO pick berries
replied-'Then, Joseph, want to tell you
one thing. 1t is this: When you find
good bush. do not leave it to find better
one. The other boys and girls will run
about picking little here and a little
there, wasting a great deal Of time, and
not getting many berries. If you do as
they do, you will come home with an EN-.
PITY basket If you want berries, stick to
your BUSH / went with the party, and
we had capital time. But it was Just as
my father had said. No sooner had one
found good bush than he called all the
rest, and then they left their several pla-
ces and ran off to the new-found treasure.
Not content more than minute or two in
ore place, they rambled over inc whole
pasture, got very tired, and at night had
but very few berries. My fathers words
kept ringing in my ears, and / stuck to
my bush. When had done with one
found another. When night came had
basket full Of nice berries, more than all
the others put together, and was not half
so tired as they were. l went home hap
py. But when l entered, found my
father had been taken very i'll. lie looked
at nv basketful of ripe whortleberries,
and said: well done. Joseph. Was it
not just as told you? Always stick to
your bush.' lie died q few days after,
and / had to make myway in the world
as best could. But my fathers words
sunk deep into my mind, and never for
got the experience of tie whorteberry |
party--I stuck to my BUSH When I
had fair place, and was doing tolerab'y !
well, did not leave it, and spend weeks |
and months in finding one little better.
When other young men said come with
us and we will make fortune in week.
shook my head and stuck to my bush.'
Presently my employers offered to take
me into business with them. / stayed
with the old house until the principals
died, and then had everything wanted. |
