CARE OF HOKsEs.-All hardships will
tell upon horse, as upon any animal,
man included. 1t may not tell at once,
but will in the future. A horses life
may be shortened or prolonged, as we
have carefully noted in many instances.

from good treatment, will not only do
nearly or quite the same work, but do il
much longer and it is better to have the
last five years of Il ''wcll-broke' horse
than the first five years Of a newly tutor
ed one there is more work and more re-
liability. We can strain a machine and
abuse it, or we can oil it and take care
OF it. In one case we get double the
benefit, more or less; III the other we
have our broken-down horse. We need
not apply the moral here it is too ev-

come out all bellies and no shoulders and

to grow again. But | think the animal

edy against insects. y tablespoonful OF

KEEPING POTATOES IN CELLAKs.-It
is bad plan to place potatoes against
the damp walls OF Il cellar,or to put them
in large, deep bins, where they will be
likely to gather moisture. If bins are
used, the bottom should be made Of strip
with small spaces left between, to admit
air Barrels or open boxes are also good,
as we'll as convenient vessels, in which
20 keep potatoes, and whenever it Is nee
css;.ry 10 look over and pick out decayed
tubcrs, it is more easily done than when
a large number of bushels are placed ii
one heap or bin. Cellars Ill which po-
tatoeS are kept should not be too light
because it will, aS every farmer knows,
make them turn green, and inJuro
their flavor and value.

UsE OF TuRNlrs.-Ihe great root of
modern agriculture for cattle feeding is
the Swedish turnips. Nine times as
much food in weight of Swcdes, can be
raised on an acre as can be raised of hay
with the same condition of land, and
each pound of hay finds its equivalent,
in nutrive properties, in three pounds OF
turnips. 1t is manifestly to the interest
of those farmers who keep stock over
winter TO feed turnips.

A NEw JAIL The act of Assembly

jails before the County Commissioners
can proceed to erect such institutions,
has been complied with in this county
the jury at January and March
terms having endorsed the Commits.
sioners' petition to that effect. 1t,
therefore, becomes the duty Of the
guardians of our county affairs to pro-
euro proper designs and estimates, in
in order to proceed properly and un.
derstandingly in the matter. The
erection of the building is not the only
point involved. Its location is really
Of more vital Importance than its
erection. II built in locality where
it cannot be properly drained and
ventilated, the health, not only of its
occupants, but that Of the citizens of
the borough, is involved. When, as
in former years, not over two or three
prisoners had TO be confined at one
time, this feature of the case received
no consideration; but now, when from
ten to twenty have to be housed, both
their health and safety is jeopardized
in a building constructed on the obso
lete plan of the present Jail Let the
Commissioners deliberate and move
slow in the matter. and seek the advice
and counsel of the citizens of the coun-
ty, before final action is taken in the
matter. There is no danger in delay
ing a project Of this character until it
is fully discussed in all its bearings,
by officers and citizens.
