How to Make a Horses Bed.

If the ideas of "A score of farmers touch
ing the manner of making decent bed
for horse could be written out, doubtless
the document would be strange comment
tary upon stable management aud groom
ing. The best materials for making bed
for horse confined in stall are short
straw, chaff, saw-dust, or dry tan-bark.
If straw be long, it will pay to run it
through fodder cutter that will cut it in
lengths of three inches. Then after re-
moving all the droppings of the animals.
let the litter-what ever it is--bc spread
evenly over tn, entire stall floor, not less
than three inche, in depth. This will not
fail to make comfortable bed for weary
animal, after he has finished his evening
feeding. When short machine straw is
employed for bedding, the first thing,
which will always be found of prime i'm
portance, is to remove the groupings from
the STALL 1t seems strange to many
rrocms that We insist so strenuously on the
removal of the accumulation of the stall.
But it is practice with a great many far
mers to clean their stalls only once week
and. in many instances, the part of the
stall round about the hind feet of the ami
NAL is allowed to be filed with manure,
and packed down six inches in depth. No
animal can lie down with any kind of COM
fort while his bed is so uneven. Let the
droppings be removed back beyond the
feet of the horse, every evening, if nothing
more. Then, with woodcn-tined stable
fork, shake the straw to pieces and scatter
it evenly ever the stall floor, not less than
one foot deep. There is nothing lost by
using large quantity of straw for bedding
On the contrary, there will be much gained
in two ways, viz: in the saving Of valua-
bic liquid manure by absorption, and in at:
fording quiet rest for horse after having
performed hard service. Most horses are
exceedingly fastidious about their beds !;
and unless a comfortable and clean place
has been prepared, they will not lie down
for se,,r, sarr> 70 days. On the con-
'raly, II IN" ueI g2 made - directed,
horses viii lie down FIR many hours, when
they would Otherwise have continued to
stand until their limbs were 80 swollen and
weary that they could keep on their feet
no longer. A horse is avery neat animal,
and he will not lie down in filth, or on a
cold floor, unless he is exceedingly weary.

How WE SHOULD LIvE.-Evcrybody
should live on the sunny side of their
houses as much as possible, and allow the
suns genial rays to penetrate the rooms
Darkened parlors are fashionable evils.
True, it is gloomy enough to be ushcred
iuto tomb-like apartment, where one can
scarcely grope his way to seat; and to
discover, when his eyes become accustomed
to the dim light, that every chair and sof,
has on its linen "duster," apparently
equipped for travelling to some unknown
land. But ladies must have their carpets
kept bright and fresh, even if their cheeks
are the paler for it; and so the shutters
are tightly closed, and the heavy curtains
drawn. But for the sake Of health and
beauty, ladies, let this be done only in the
|" best parlors," if it must be done at all.
Let the rooms where the family stay be
cheerful and sunny. No lady would ex.
pect her housc-plants to send out full, bril-.
liant blossoms, unless she placed them at
window where the sunshine would invig.
crate them. No more should she expect
her children to show fresh, rosy complex.
ions, or to develope genial dispositions
unless they live in light, sunny, airy rooms

PRESERVATION OF MEAT.-According
to a receipt recently patented in England,
meat of any kind may be preserved in any
temperature after it has been soaked for
ten minutes in solution made from the
following INGREDIENTS, we'll mixed: One
pint Of common salt dissolved in four gal
Ions of clear water and half gallon of
the bisulphate Of calcium solution. 1t is
said the experiments chow that meat so
prepared will keep for twelve days in a
temperature of from so to 100 degrees, and
preserve their odor and flavor unmpaired.
by repeating the process meats may be in
definitely preserved, and if it is desired to
keep them an unusually long time, sou-
ton of ,elatine or white Of an egg may be
added / tho wash.
