.ChOate's Account Book.

A good story used to be told of Choate
by Mr.. Minns, who was student in his
office. One day the former came into the
office, and seated himself before the fire,
began scratching his head with unusual
violence. By-and-by he said in his most
dramatic tones
"I wonder what becomes of all my
money, Mr.. Minns?"
Minns stopped his writing and looked
up at him. His face looked comical
enough. Finally, he ventured to make a
suggestion.
"Why don't you buy small book,
Mr.. Choate, and enter in it what you
receive and what you pay out? and
then you will know where your money
goes"
"Capital idea, Mr.. Minns, capital idea
Won't you be good enough to go out and
buy me one ?"
Minns bought him the book, and Choate
sat down and made two or three entries
in 1t.
A few months afterwsrd Minns had the
curiosity-seeing the book lying upon
Mr.. Choate's desk-to look into it to see
how he got along with his accounts, when
10 there were the same entries he had
made on the day OF his purchase, and all
the rest was blank. ....-
Mr.. Choate might have been q rich man
If he had had any method in the keeping

his son in.law, Major Bell, lately deceased,
his affairs were.much imprOved.-Hnper'S 8

Wheat on Glover Ground.

PROFESSOR VoBLCKER, In a valuable
report recently published in the journal
Royal AgrfcuJtUrdl Society, England, ar
rives ut the following conclusions
I. A good crop of clover removes nom
the soil more potash, phosphoric acid,
lime, and other matter which enter into
The ashes Of our cultivated crops, than any
other crop usually grown in this country.
3. There is fully three times as much
nitrogen in a crop Of clover as ia the av.
erage produce Of the grain and straw OF
wheat per acre.
3. Notwithstanding the large amount OF
nitrogenous matter, and of ash Constitu-
ents of plants, in the produce of an acre,
clover is an excellent preparatory crop for
wheat.
4. During the growth of clover, large
amount of nitrogenous matter accumulates
in the soil.
8. This accumulation, which is greatest
in the surface soil, is due to decaying
leaves dropped during the growth ofclover
and 90 an abundance of roots, containing
when dry, from 1s to 2 per cent. of nj
trogen.
g. The clover roots are stronger and
more numerous, and more leaves fall on
the ground when clover is grown for seed
blhu Nhtll IL Is ilOWu II lOl nay III COliGO
quence, more nitrogen is left after clover
seed than after hay, which accounts fol
wheat yielding a better crop after clover
seedsthan after hay.
Z. The development of roots being
| checked when the produce, in greer
| condition, is fed off by sheep, in all prob
ability leaves still less nitrogenous matter
in the soil than when clover is allowed t
get ripper, and is mown for hay-thus, M
doubt, accounting for the observation
made by practical men, that, notwith
standing the return of the produce in thu
| sheep eXcrements, wheat is generally
stronger, and yields better, after clover
mown for hay, than when the clover il
fed off green by sheep.
8. The nitrogenous matter in the clover
remains, on their natural decay, are finally
transformed into nitrates, thus affordinl
a continuous source of food on whici
cereal crops specially delight to grow.
o. There is strong presumptive evidence
that the nitrogen which exists in the ali
in the shape of ammonia and nitric acid
| and descends in these combinations will
the rain which falls on the ground, salts
fies, under ordinary circumstances, the re
quiremonts of the clover crop. This croT
causes a large accumulation of nitrogenouI
matters, which are gradually changed il
the soil into nitrates The atmosphere thu!
furnishes heterogeneous food to the succeed
ing wheat indirectly, and, so as to say
gratis.
10. Clover not only provides abundance
of heterogeneous food, but delivers this fooC
in readily available form Gas nitrates
more gradually and continuously, and con
sequently, with more certainty of goot
result, than such food can be applied tC
the land in the shape of nitrogenou'
spring topdressings.

Alarming Colts when Shooting.


No MAN of sense convcrsant with horses
will deny that where tho generality of
them resist, fear, not vice, is the cause of
IT, Fear, then, is the very first thing we
should do away with in the colt, and moth
ing but beginning with him from his in.
fancy will do this.
We have frequently great deal Of trou-
bic In shOoing a colt the first time il is
done. How, in the name of common
sense, could we expect anything else? A
goose naturally chooses to stand on one
leg. We have had to do with some thou
sands of horses, but we must say we never
saw one voluntarily stand upon three, un-
less in great agony with the fourth. The
actual fear of falling will make the colt re-
sist being held in, to him, an unnatural
position yet the animal is expected to
allow a smith to hold him by force in a
position, for quarter of an hour togeth-
er, that he never before stood in for Il min.
ute in his life. He perhaps kicks at this /;
when, to reassure his fears, he probably
gets stroke with the hammer. This is
enough to make horse troublesome to
shoe for life. Many horses hate
smiths; some will not approach a
forge, This does not proceed from the
kindness they have received from such
men or in such places Some horses
will not permit such smith to come near
them in his smiths dress put the groom's
stable dress on him, and the horse will al
low himself to be shod. Can anything
speak plainerp The animal docs not re-
sist your wishes, or care about being shOd Z;
he breads the smith, not the shoeing.
Horses have no natural antipathy to
smiths or forges, but they have to i'll
usage. A colt has no more natural OBJ
lection to permitting you to touch his
hind leg than his head and if from the
first his hind legs were as often handled
as his neck, he would no more kick at
you for doing this, than he would bite or
strike at you for handling his fore.quar
ters 1t is the novelty of any act that
alarms the young horse, rot the act ITSELF
Why is 1t that vicious horses seldom hurt
childrenS They kick, bite or strike at
man, because man has i'll used them /;
children have not. Surely this shows
that vice is not the leading and natural
propensity of the animal The child has
probably never done anything to chal-
lenge the attachment of the animal; he has
merely never done anything to injure him
Even this the horse repays by gratitude
and confidence. What would he then not
do for those who would take very little
trouble to win his attachment and soothe
his natural fear of mani ARythiRg that
nature has given him the power TO per.
form or the instinct to comprehend. -

USEFUL RECIPES, ETC.

MANGERs should be low, and stables
well ventilated and well lighted. Many
horses are made blind by being kept in
the dark.
THE Hearth and Home says the first
thing for q farmer to find out is what crops
grow best on his soil After he has learn.
cd this, it thinks he should not be discour-
aged by low prices for year or two.
TIE Utica Herald gives three rules for
renovating old pastures 1. In winter,
lime them in the wet places 2. In sum

sheep on them, and feed the sheep with

cream. The above is for one pie in a

DEoDoRIzER.--The inquiry is often
made by farmers, brewers, beef and pork
packers, etc, regarding the best method OF
deodorizing and cleansing old cider and
beer barrels, musty cans, bottles, etc.
Chemistry furnishes an agent in the per-
manganate of potassa which fully meets
this want. A pint of the permanganate
turned into the most musty, filthy cider or
beer cask and rinsed about few moments
will entirely decompose all fungoid
growths and fermenting matter and render
the casks as sweet as those that are new.
The deodorizing, disinfecting power of the
permapganate, holding, as it does, five
equivalents of oxygen, is wonderful it
will even deodorize carbolic acid. The
only way to remove Immediately the odor
of carbolic acid from the hands is to i'm.

BAlky Horses.

If you have balky horses it is your own
fault and not the horses, for if they do
not pull true there is some cause for it,
and if you remove the cause the effect
will cease. When your horse balks he is
excited and does not know what to do.
When he gets little excited, stop him for
five or ten minutes; let him become calm,
and rs soon as he is over his excitement
he will, in nine cases out Of ten, pull at
the word, Whipping and slashing
and swearing only make the matter
worse. After you have gentled him a
while, and his excitement has cooled,
take him by the bits; turn him each
way few minutes, as far as you can !;
gentle him little; unrein him then step
before the balky horse, and let the other
start first; then you can take them any
where you wish. A balky horse is always
high-spirited and starts quick; half the
pull is out before the other horse starts (;
by standing before him the other starts
first. By close application to this rule
you can make any horse pull. If horse
has been badly spoiled, you should first
hitch him to an empty wagon and let him
draw it around for awhile on level ground
then put on little load and increase
| it gradually, caressing as before, and in
short time you can have a good work.

A Great Lung Medicine.

The variety of cough medicines which

for us to enumerate. Doubtless many of
them are good, many more Indifferent or

dangerous or injurious. There Is one
medicine, however, for the cure of affec-
tions of the lungs, which is in the hands

largely used and tested, and which we wish
to recommend to the public for the reason
that we can do it in all truth and sin.
