Dark

Any person who has felt the pain
and Inconvenience Of coming suddenly
from a dark room into the full blaze
of day, will easily conceive the neces-
sity of lighting a stable in a proper
manner. This is too often neglected
in confined stables, and the con-
sequences are most distressing to a
human, observer. The poor horse, led
suddenly out to his work, shows his
pam quickly in unmistakable express
sions, stumbies, and runs against any
thing that may happen to be near, un-
til the eye has in some degree accom-
modated itself to the new circum-
stances under which it is placed. MOI
is this all. By a continuance of this
change from darkness to sudden day
light, the eyes become seriously injur-
ed.
The yetina, or. sensitive nerve, be-
comes dull, and more or less useless /;
the horses sight is injured ; he starts
and SHES at objects which he sees i'm
perfectly ; and many a rider who has
received a dangerous injury has to
thank his inattention to this simple
cause, rather. than any vicious habit
of the animal, to which it has been at
tributed.
Blindness is almost certain to be
caused by inattention to the above eau
TONS but even; blindness isless dan
gerous to the rider than imperfect sight.

years successful practice, that the alarming
consequences of self-abuse may be radically
cured without the dangerous use of internal
medicine or the application of the knife !;
pointing out a mode of cure at once simple,

every sufferer, no matter what his condition

Training for the Exhibition.

Now, that the season is approaching
for holding State and County Fair fol
the exhibition of Stock, a few hints Oh
the subject of preparing and training
the animals to be exhibited may be Of
interest to some of our readers, for we
have q strong wish that every subscrib
er to this Journal who exhibits stock
at those fairs may win prizes.
The first thing that will attract at
tention to your animal, is its appear.
ance, its condition, indicating the care
that has been bestowed upon it it to
preserve its health-it should have ev-
cry indication of good health, or it
has no business there, mol would il
give any credit to its master" IF OF
the equine or bovine genus, the skin
should be clean and the coat smooth
and glossy. Any other animal must
have clean skin to indicate good health.
To insure this the animal must be
washed and rubbed until the work
trings the answer.
If the animal is a colt, train it to
walk-to walk a mile, OF some shorter
distance, as fast it is able without break
ing into a trot. This is the first lesson
in ''gaits," and it should he thorough
and complete before it is put to any
other. Trotting comes next, but post
pone this until next year /; a premium
for fast walkers ought to satisfy you
this time. Training a horse to trot
requires care, patience and skill.
Neither the man nor the horse should
become excited; if either does a
''break" is sure to occur. There
should be no scolding,. no whipping
sometimes a gentle feeler may be APP
piled accompanied by an encouraging
tone of voice, but even this may some
times do mischief. Keep the horses
temper toned down as much as pos
sible and the drivers too. Gentle
words of encouragementip a soothing
tone of voice will accomplish all that
can be done. When a horse is doing
his best and you urge him to do bet
ter, either by toe, whip or harsh
words, he becomes confused, breaks
and loses time. u.s.
Cattle should be so well trained to
being tied up;or lead that they can be
IuOhCu OIl OuS pIdCS W dllOIIlGr WILT
out any struggle, and SO accustomed
to being handled as to not shy off from
strangers, They are brought out on
this occasion to be looked at, and
should feel perfectly at home.
Oxen should be trained to a quick
step, as IL item Of their value is fast
walking. Their skin and coat should
show good health ; but their condition
in regard to flesh should be that for
labor and not for the butcher.
Swine should have clean. skins, but
not SO fat as to be too lazy to stand
to be looked at.
Sheep should trimmed a little if nee
essary I; but if they been pasturing
on high ground there will be no oc-
casion for this. They should be gen.
tie and accustomed to bein handled
and looked at.
Poultry should have clean, airy,
cages and not too many put together.
Let it be remembered that the same
care and attention bestowed on ami
mails to fit them for exhibition should
be continued during the balance of
the year. If you fail to get a premium
you will not fail to get your reward in

and pliable. And third, use him mo-
derately and give the skin a good
cleaning after using him, every time.
Much also depends on having the har-
ness to fit properly. See that The col
lar is neither too large nor too small,
and that the names are of the right
length and shape, giving an even pres
sure on the collar. Keep the face of
the collar clean and free from inc
qualities.
1t is a very unsightly picture to see
a horse with sore shoulders and other
parts of the hide worn off by the har-
ness. The owner or driver of such a
team ought to be as shamed of himself.
