To CANDY FRUIT.-Take one
pound of best loafsugar, dip each
lump into a bowl of water, and
put the sugar into a preserving
kettle. Boil it down until clear,
and in a candying state. When
sufficiently boiled have ready the
fruits you wish to preserve. Large
white grapes, oranges separated
into small pieces, or preserved
fruits, taken out of their syrup
and dried, are nice. Dip the fruits
into the prepared sugar while it is
hot, then put them in a cold place ;
they soon become hard.

Sore Backs On Horses.

sore Backs On Horses.
A strong horse With a sore back is
Irs quently shoFn Of half bis strength.
A sore back is usually the result of
a miserable harness. Yet in many
instances, the back-hsnd is made
too short, or is buckled up too tight,
so that the traces at the back band.
are raisId above & direct line from
the names to the while tree. When
this is the Case, the back. band, when
the horse draws, it presses down with
force on the back; and unless tbs
pad is soft, or the harness be made
Nth patent back, wound will be
made, which will be difficult TO heal,
60 long as the harness that made
the wound is employed on the ami
nal. When a horse has sore back
and it secms necessary to keep him
in harness, let the back band DO re-
moved entirely; or let it be length
ened, and fastened a few inches
back Of the wound.
1t will be very easy 10 determine
whether back-band is liable to in
jure the animals back, by observing,
when he draws, whether the potion
of the harness directly above The
back is drawn down foreibly or is
lifted clear from the back. A wound
on the bask of a horse is irt quently
irritated so lopg by the rough bar
ness that it becomes almost incuIa-
bic. A fresh wound, if not kept
bleeding by the rubbing Of the bar
ness, will heal in tive or three weeks
in warm weather Withou. any other
medicine than soapsuds. Bat an old
wound that has tried TO heal after
the sch has been rubbed off sever
al times, requires an application Of
burnt alum, pulveIised, TO cleanse
it Of "proud 6ssh." The best rem
edy is a preventive. The diver
is the one 90 whom the blame should
rest, for allowing horse TO have g

Cure for Drunkenness.

MR. EDITOR: I believe that many a mar
who is addicted to intemperance would
gladly give it up, If he could; for, in his
sober moments. when he thinks at all of his
drunken habits, he surely must feel a burn
ing sense of shame and notification II
always makes me sad to see a man, other
wise respectable. staggering through the
streets, jabbering and looking an idiot. Il
may be fun for children and negroes to SEE
such q sight, but TO sensible man can wit
ness it without sorrow for the poor inebriate
himself.
There are some people who think drunk
ards car, never be reformed; it is a mistake
Some of the best men I eveg knew were
once drunkards. Drunkenness is a disease
but it is not an incurable disease. Here il
q receipt for the cure of drunkenness which
thousands are said to have used success
fully:
Sulphate Of iron, five grains; magnesia
ten grains; peppermint water, eleven drms
spirit of nutmeg, one drachm; to be taker
twice a day.
1t acts us a tonic and stimulant, and thus
in a measure, supplies the loss of the &C
customed liquor, preventing, at the samt
time, the mental and physical prostratior
which follows the sudden breaking off from
stimulating drinks.
