Fast Horses.
The result of the Buffalo races gave a
great value to the winning horses. Sen.
Sprague offered $4,000 for Goldsmith

that her price was $4,000. We believe
Bonner paid s33, 900 for Dexter. The sire
of Dexter, Rysdikle Hambletonian, is
valued at SIS, 900, and is undoubtedly tho
most valuable horse in tho world. Tho
owner of American Girl has refused $685.
600 for her. Another Of the horses which
took part in tho Buffalo races is Henry, a
new horse, which never trotted for money,
and which was sold to his driver by Mr..
Roden for $4,000, subject to the approval
Of his owner, Mr.. D. Bell, of St. Louis
Mr.. Bell, however, did not sanction the
contract, asking $4,000. The horse II.
w. Genet, formerly Danvers Boy. was
sold to Mr.. Charles Revere, Of New York,
last spring, for $4,000, it is said. Mr..
Singleterry, of Feather River, California,
offered $4,000 for Bashaw, Jr., but the
owner of that sorse asked $780, 900. Many
other instances might be given, but the
above will show the estimate placed on
fast horse flesh by its owners.

Potatoes.
When farmer has dry piece Of
land near his house, a small knoll OF
hill, and has large crop Of potatoes
which he desires to keep till Spring, it
is better to bury them than to store them
in his cellar, besides being cheaper and
easier in most cases.-They will keep
pretty well when buryed in any manner,
provided they they are not exposed to
dampness and frost; but the following
plan is good one
First dig the pit on soil that no rains
can settle in and wet the potatoes.
Four or five feet deep will do, in an OBJ
long shape. Then as soon as your pot
atoes are thoroughly dried, take the
longest and best straw you have, and
line the sides and bottom of the pit, six
inches thick at least.-Then fill in with
potatoes, and raise the heap as high as
the potatoes will lie, without spreading
beyond the limits Of the pit, which will
be in the center some two feet above
the level Of the soil in a common sized
pit-Then cover with straw, the butts
resting on the ground, ina manner that
would shed rain if not covered, when
the whole should be covered with earth
firmly packed, and in a rooflike shape,
at least eighteen inches or two feet deep
on all sides. On the top of the earth
then place a couple of wide boards, nail
ed together in the form of roof, and
we will warrant your potatoes to come
out in the following spring in the best
condition.-Ex.

The "Chcck Rein.O

The ssChcck Rein.u
One Of the barbarisms of the present
day, is the unmerciful use made of the
check rein to compel horse, while being
driven to carriage, to hold his head in
an unnatural and painful position. This
rein is frightened to such an extent by the
fancy horseman, that the animal is unable
to see the ground where he is compelled
to place his Footsteps, ana that too, while
beihg driven at the top of his speed.
If the practice were confined to the
fancy alone, the result would not be so
bad; but we see it followed up by grave
and gay, old and young, male and female
flor it is quite common to meet with a
lady who prides herself on being good
"whip.") To this feature Of woman's
rights we have no particular objection, if
she will only slacken the "check" and let
the horse hold his head, while travelling
in its natural position.
How any christian gentleman Tor LADY,
can reconcile this wanton cruelty, prompt,
ed by pride, to his or her conscience, Is
too deep for us to fathom.
We have, in Pennsylvania, "a law "for
the prevention of cruelty to animals" and
several organizations gotten up for the
express purpose of enforcing it. We
would most respectfully call their attention
to the frightened "Check Rein" Do any
Of these organizations drive with

The Harvest in Europe.

The Harvest in Europe.
By mail from Europe we have the
following resume ofthe harvest prospects
prevailing at the great food supply cen
tres on the LIST of October, as reported in
Paris:
The accounts Of the harvest in Ger
many are very unequal, varying in differ
ent districts from good to far below the
average yield. On the whole, the grain
harvest of Middle Germany was below
the average; that of the Southern States
was far better. From Austria we hear
that the yield of corn is considerably
smaller than in the last two years; the
same is true of Roumania. The Russian
harvest is stated to have been good, and
the crops have nowhere failed SO com.
pletelv as in some places last year
The fodder is everywhere poor, with the
exception of few mountainous districts.
There has been very little clover, and
both the hay and wheat have been
much injured by the unfavorable wea-
ther. On the other hand there has
been good deal Of straw. Both pota.
toes and beets have suffered from the
heat and drought of July and the rains
of August. The disease has also appear.
ed with more or less yirulence in some
parts. The hopes entertained for the
potato harvest are not, therefore, high
but it is said the beet is improving.
The hops arc said to be in a very poor
condition, partly on account Of the wea
fther and partly from insects and the
disease, which have appeared IN many
gardens. Scarcely Asquartef Of the us.

has been gathered, and even what was

the case with apples and plums. MOI
