Tho Washington correspondent Of
the Chicago Tribune has this social
gossip. under date of March sth:
Mrs. Stover, Andrew Johnson's
daughter, quietly and respectfully y
took her departure for Tennessee, last
week. Good opinion follows all the
ladies of the White House under the
passing administration. We feel the
most perfect and serene confidence in
the spirited, handsome and graceful
lady who is TO bo the mistress Of this
mansion under General Grant. Her
education, parcntage and social OPP
portunities have abundantly qualified
her to grace the White House. Her
father, Mr. Dent, was the proprietor
of an estate and home comparable
with any between New Orleans and
St. Louis, in those days when that
part of the country contained the
gentleman planter, par excellence. lie

"A rumor was afioat on the Streets
on Saturday that handsome Young

which was to be fraught with happi-

can yield more pure happiness than

Farm Horses.

Farm Horses.
I am pleased to see 20 much in
'Iterest awakened on the subject Of
farm horses, as shown by its discus
sion in the agricultural papers of the
country. The money value of hor.
ses fsf general farm purposes is
greater than that of all other classes
combined. We must have the farm
horse, and we can adj the trotter,
and thoroughbred, if we can afford
them.
Our farm horses are monde
script race. fully fifty per cen,um OF
them being uufit for general farm
purposes, or for any other purposes.
They have not the style, action, or
endurance to fit them for the CARR.
age or saddle, aud they isck' the de.
velopment and weight of muscle that
would render them valuable before
tho 'pfow or farm wagon. We have
thousands Of horses which occupy
tile position, next to parasites on the
firms of their owners. They are
unfit to ride or drive, and it requires
three or more of themto draw q load
that should take but one or two fit
ted for the. purpose.
This state of affairs arises from
carelessness. or mistaken idea of
economy in breeding Standing in
the Hight of scores of agricultural
newspapers devoted more or less to
the science Of breeding domestic an
lis, it is an insult to a farmers un-
de- standing to say these worthless
horses are bred through ignorance,
Many farmers will not pay ten to
thirty dollars for the services of a
first class stallion, while a neighbor
charges but four for the use Of his
slabsided, postlegged, mongrel SER
sell or dun. Hundreds Of farmers
breed their mares seemingly with the
idea that q flow Of milk is the princi-
pal object sought. Farmers cannot
be ignorant Of the principle that on
ly full blood, or thorough bred
sire, is able to transmit his superior
qualities to his offspring with any
degree efcertainty.
For ordinary farm work, we want
a race that is strong Of limb, sound,
kind, able to do the most work, and
keep'in the best condition on the
least feed. and the sires able to give
to their progeny, unimpaired, these
essential qualities.
The Percheron Norman is the
better name) horse comes nearer, in
my judgment, to filing the farmers
Fin'the way Of a useful
farm animal, than aay race of hors-
es Of which / have any knowledge.
The Norman sire transmits to his
with the fidelity of thor
ough- bred, his muscular form, cleah
limbs, immense strength, courage,
md docility.

stable wet and muddy, it is better to
wash his legs at once titan to allow
The mud to dry on them. After the
mud has been washed of, however,
the leffs should be vigorously rub'd
down with a wisp Of straw or hay.
The rubbing determines blood to the
skis and consequently produces a
sensation of heat in the legs. and re-
moves water from the hair and legs
so that the legs dry quicker than
they would otherwise have done.
Warts on horses should be remov-
ed with a sharp knife. Their. repro
duction may be prevented by the APP
plication of nitrate of silver.
