Tccthing In Young Horses.

Whilst the gums are tender, and
the teeth both in front and behind arc
irregular, it is very important that
the young horses should have their
food spilled to them in a soft and
easily masticated condition. 1t is de-
sirablc that the oats or other grains
be given bruised; that the bulk of the
fodder be cut or softened by soaking
or sleeping, and that well-prcpared
mashes and cut roots be given more
frequently and freely than usual.
The process of teething in all ami
mails is attended with some amount
of risk and trouble. Ordinary food is
seldom eaten in sufficient quantity to
sustain the powers oflife in full vigor.
The irritation and pain prove, more
over, reducing; the sens tive state OF
the mouth is apt to be p ropagsted to
adjacent and similarly constituted tex
lures, and hence among young horses
troubled with teeth;ng, disordercd di-
gestion and annoying colds frequently
occur. Occasiolally when fhe teeth
ing is difficult and tedious, febrile,
symptoms supcrvene, and unless the
animal is carefully nurscd and exempt
ed from work, dangerous debility
will follow. Agriculturists and other
horse-owners should, especially dur
ing the spring months, notice from
time to time the state of the mouth
and teeth of their horses between two
and five years old, and by soft and
digcstible food, lighter labor, and the
lancing of the swollen gums where
that is required, they may greatly
mitigate The pain and prevent the
untoward results ofteething-Canada

The Art or Making a Pudding.

For this purpose wheat flour must
be sifted and accurately measured,
Indian meal scalded, tapioca soaked
over night, sage and rice washed in
several warm waters, dried bread roll
ed and sifted, and the whites and
yolks of eggs separately beaten; do
not put them into hot milk or they
will curdle; add the whites the last
thing. Butter is the best shortening
tor wheat flour, but lard, suet, and
churn drippings are nice for corn
meal.
Scald molasses and let it cool before
using. Cream of tartar and yeast
powder must be sifted with the -four,
soda or sal volatile dissolved in luke
warm water and strained. A large
amount of soda and saleratus is re-
quired for molasses; in using it with
sour milk more or less should be used
according to the acidity of the milk.
Raisins should be stewed, citron
sliced very thin. Zante currants
mashed and thoroughly dried, and all
fruits well drcdged with flour and adj
ded the last thing. Beating all the
ingredients thoroughly insures light
pudding.
Batter buildings and custards It.
quire straining. Whether the pud-
ding is to be baked, boiled or steam
ed, the dish or mold must be we'll
creased. Bits of butter are sometimes
put over the tops of baked custards
to prevent their burning. We think
steamed custards preferable. For
boiling, four eggs should be allowed
to a quart of milk, the milk placed in
tin pail i'm kettle of boiling water
Pudding bags should be made OF
strong unbleachcd sheeting. just
before using, dip the bag in hot water
wiring out, and drcdge thoroughly
with flour. Allow plenty of room fol-
the pudding to swell. Place an old
plate in the bottom of the pot to keep
the pudding from being burned. keeI
it well under water and the water
constantly boiling. When done, dip
the bag i'm cold water and the pudding
will slide out in form,
For steaming, the earthern Turk
head is very common, and if well
creased before the pudding is put III
theie will be no difficulty in preserv'
ing the exact form. More time is re-
quired to cook a pudding in steaminS
than in baking or boiling.

1t Is recommended to feed high, This
makes fine animals, and in some cases
paying animals. Then there is the
manure, which is richer than other
manure; and some 60 50 far as to aver
that it will do to raise and fsten stock
for that purpose, particularly swine.
This we think Is mistaken c0ncep-
ton. What is our grain raised for? 1t
would seem from the views of these
men that it was raised for manure.
Why not throw at once to thesoil and
pillow under? The less rich our manure
the more profit.
The best animals are those having
good digestions. These animals, ma
chimes, work uI the grain for the profit
to them, as is intended, which profit is
greater than that of manure, or else
raising stock is q sham.
To feed carefully, and to have all
eaten up clean, is the true method.
Why? Not merely to avoid waste, but
to get the most good out of the feed;
it will go farther this way, benefiting
the animal more.
The farmer who would raise grain
merely for manure, would soon find
himself running behind. His land
would be improved, but there would be
no income or support. And what is
the use of having rich land if no profit
is realized? The doctrine will not do.
There are many ways of enriching
land, the blowing in of green crops, es>
pecially clover, being, perhaps, chief.
The raising of sod must always be the
principle means of securing manure
orh tho irrnnrnvop,onf IF O,,r 70
Here is double profit. So in proper
feed high is to defeat the object of feed
ing altogether; the animal will not
grow at all. This has been tested.
Judicious feeding is as important as
anything else. Feeding may be made
hurtful; or it may be made profitable
| or the common, careless course may be
pursued, which is of but little effect
either way; on the whole, however, a
damage. 1t is, therefore, wisdom to
avoid feeding to high or too low, and
feed regularly and no more than will
be eaten, ard eaten with relish, not
greedily. The powers of nature will
then be all in full play and sharp at
their work, doing much more and
much better than they would other
wise. This cannot be gainsaid. There
will be less manure Qess concentration
but more flesh, more fat, more butter
and cheese. 1t is to obtain these we
feed. If there is less manure, there is
more gain in the pocket, the proportion
of gain to the pocket being greatest.
Let us then aim to make all the
pork, beef, butter and cheese that we
can, relying upon sod and green crops
and what manure we may make, for
the improvement of our land. Sys-
tenn, moderation, permanence, are
what is wanted. Aiming at high sue
cess, premium crops, in farming as in
other business, generally defeats itself.
We must be contented with the mod
crate and steady increase. This is the
sure basis of success. And we must
see to it; it requires our constant at
tention.-Uticd Herald.

Mulching rs a Fertilizer,

All who are conyersant with fruit rails
ing realize the importance of the proper
mulch after plunting trees or vines. 1t
serves to retain moisture about the trunk
of the tree. or rather prevents evapOra-
ton from the surface Of the ground and
the consequent baking in soils liable to
bake. 1t seems to have still further ben
eficial effect by allowing the moist earlh
to absorb the fertilizing properties OF
atmosphere from which reservoir an UNI
failing supply can be obtained If the
proper condition of the ground for Its
reception be secured. But it is not
alone applicable to the fruit farm. All
lands are improved by mulching, and
that in much greater degree than is
imagined. We have all noticed the in
creased fertility where an old straw stack
or bush heap has lain. There may be
some improvement from the decayinS
matter, but even without this the shade
alone seems to act beneficially: nor does
it need a thick covering to secure the
benefits of the mulch. Straw scattered
ever Sd thinly will have q visible effect,
Even brush from the woods hauled on
washed hillsides will restore fertility.
One of the good offices of the clover crop
is that is is continually shedding its dead
leaves and furnishing mulch for the en-
tire surface of the ground.
There is annually wasted OIL every
plantation a large amOnot Of mulching
material. Briars, brush and weeds, as
well as straw could be collected in suffi-
cient quantity to cover acres OF land that
are now burning up from the summer
sun and washing away by the winter
rains.-Jacks0n Tribune.

BlunderS OF BaShfulness.

If there is any defect more striking
than another, in the American charac-
ter, it is bashfulness. Young Ameri-
ca, in particular is painfully effected
by it. An incident is mentioned by a
correspondent, who was desired by
his aunt to 60 over to neighbOr Sbaw's
and see if he had for sale any straw for
filling beds.
"Mr. Shaw says our informant,
"was blessed with goodly number OF
Misses Shaw, and l therefore felt a
little timid at encountering them. To
make the matter worse, l arrived just
as the family was seated for dinner
Stopping at the doorway, hat in hand
| stammered out, "Mr. Straw, can
You spare enough shaw to fill a couple
of beds y"
"Wcll, replied the old gentleman
glancing around at his large family,
and enjoying my mistake, al DOM
know but l can, how many will You
need ?"
"Before l could recover, those
hateful girls burst into chorus Of
laughter, and l broke for home in
cold sweat"

Management or Pigs.

On farmes where much grain is
grown and only few cows are kept,
it is usually not profit able to keep a
large stock of pigs. The common
mistake made, however, is not in
keeping too many-but i'm not feeding
them literally. AS a rule, The pigs
are kept OH short allowance until
they are shut up to fatten, after the
corn is ripe, although there can be no
doubt that bushel of corn fed to pigs
while on clover during the summer,
will produce double or treble as much
pork as bushel of new corn fed to
cool weather in the autumn when the
pigs have nothing but corn. A few
fall pigs can be kept in the yards
during the winter to good advantage,
especially if the cattle are fed grain.
But it is great mistake TO stint young
pigs thre ugh the winter, although it
must be confessed that it is a very
common one. The sOws and any
spring pigs that may be wintered over,
viii! pick up the lions share of the
scattered grain and other food in the
yards; and while it is often incon-
venient to separate the young pigs
from the older ones, yet it is not a
difficult matter to make hole in one
of the sides of the pens that will adj
nit the young pigs through and ex-
clude the large ones-and in this way
the yonng pigs can be fed more and
better food. This is a very important
point. The young pigs should be
kept growing rapidly through the
winter and spring months. They
should be in a condition thai most
farmers would pronounce "too fat"
Young, well-bred pigs, SO wintered,
can be summered in clover pasture
at comparatively little cOst-and it is
astonishing how fast they will grow.
We have Kept 10: of grade Essex fall
pigs during the summer OH rich
clover pasture near the barn yard,
and the slopes from the house with
out any grain, that were sold at an
extra price on the first of October, to
stop off, car load of fat pigs sent TO
the New York market. And the
whole secret of the matter-if secret
in is-was it feeding the young pigs
literally through the wihter.-Harris

Etiquette.

When gentleman recognizes Il friend
i'm the course of his walk, lie must lift
his hat with the hand farthest from him.
Lifting the hat is sufficient recognition
between gentlemen; but in meeting a
lady, an old gentleman or a clergyman,
it is necessary to bow also.
If Il gentleman wishes to shake hands
with a friend, he must lift his hat with
the left hand, leaving the right free to
extend. Never must he give his lett
hind, or extend portion OF the right.
The whole right hand is en- rege.
A lady must recognize gentleman by
bowling, before he is at liberty to ac-
knowledge an acquaintance with her
Should she bow, he must lift his hat and
bow also. Ifhe is sufficiently barbarous
to have cigar i'm his mouth, he must re-
move it while bowling to lady.
fla gentleman is walking with lady,
he should insist upon carrying any book,
parcel, or umbrella she may have with
her.
No gentleman may smoke when walk
ing with lady. He should even decline
to do so though he may be asked to con-
time smoking. -.
Should lady stop gentleman to
speak. she must make slight inclination
of the head as Il token of dismissal, and
he must accept it as such, bow, and then
leave her.
No lady will be guilty of the vulgari-
ty of sucking the head of her parasol I'm
the street.
70 eat anything. even confectionery,
i'm the street, is sign of low breeding.
A gentleman must give lady, an old
gentleman, or clergyman with whom he
may be walking. the upper side (nearest
the houses) of the pavement.
If gentleman meets lady friend
who is walking with any one he does
not know, he must not stop. nor must
he stop if his companion is unacquainted
with lady friend whom he may chance
to meet. The lady. however, has per-
feet right to do as she likes. Ii she
should stop, the strangers must be intro
duced, and none of the group should go
on and wait, whether the introduction
be agreeable or not.
4 lady should avoid walking very rap
idly. 1t is very ungraceful and unbe-
coming.
Swinging the arms is an awkward and
ill-bred habit.
For a lady to run across the street. to
avoid carriage passing, is not only ill
bred. but exceedingly dangerous.
To attempt to cross the street between
the carriages of funeral procession is
rude and disrespectful; and we cannot
but commend the foreign custom of re-
moving the bat, and standing in a res
pectful attitude until the melancholy
train has passed.
When a gentleman is walking alone,
he must always turn aside to give the
upper side of the pavement to lady, to
any one carrying heavy load, to cler-
gyman, or an old gentleman.
Never push violently through crowd.
If gentleman or lady is really in haste,
few courteous words will open pas
sage more quickly than the most vigor-
Gus pushing or shoving.-By-La'rs Of
american Society.

Terrific Combat With a Georgia M.stIr.

Mr.. E. Douglass, Esq, of this city,
was recently the owner of a :nastiff,
which he had raised, and which was
about two years and q half old, and,
nc doubt, the largest dog in the coun-
try.
On Monday evening Mr.. Douglass
was attempting to drive some chick
ems into his garden, but the dog occu-
pied the gate and would not let them
pass him.. Mr.. ID. ordered him away,
but the mastiff would not obey until
his owner had thrown several rocks
at him, when be took refuge under the
kitchen. In a moment more Mr.. ID.
saw his dog with lean steps and glar-
ing eyes advancing slowly towards
him for fight. Our friend, seeing that
he could not stop the dog by words
oil gesture, at once prepared to defend
himself, as flight was impossible. AS
soon Us the dog was near him he
arose on his hind feet and attempted
to seize Mr.. d. by the throat.
Then ensucd a combat between the
man and the dog of about ten min
utcs' duration, and which for fierce
ness scarcely has parallel in such en-
counters. Mr.. ID. first threw out his
left arm, which the dog bit consider
ably near the wrist, and with his
right hand caught the Infatuated
brute by the throat, and as soon as his
left hand was released from the grip
of the dog, he seized his under jaw
with it. Knowing from every cir
cumstance that the combat would DE
lengthy one, as soon as the first cx-
element had subsidized, Mr.. d. order
ed his family to close every door of
his dwelling but one, toward which
he gradually but slowly drew the dog.
Before reaching the steps the dog had
for short time partially disengaged
himself and bit Mr.. ID. severely on tho
left thigh.
By the time our friend became calm
and collected, and promptly rescued
the dog by the under jaw and throat,
and began again to draw the brute to-
ward the open door. Finally he had
reached the doorsteps, which were
about five feet high, and began to
walk up them backward, and when
at the top, he, by summOning all his
strength, and by one violent effort,
threw the dog to the ground on his
back. Before the animal could recov-
er his feet anG ascend the steps, Mr..
ID. had entered the house and clos
ed the open door. The mastiff
showed every disposition to renew
the battle, and made frantic attempts
to enter the windows.
At list, finding ingress impossible,
he took his position and watched the
door closely for Mr.. D., and manifes-
ted by his action that he would attack
him again if he entered the yard. In
the meantime the Rev. Mr.. Hall, a
neighbor, came to Mr.. DIS rescue the
dog showing no disposition to modest
any one but Mr.. Douglass), and with
his gun shot the dog twice and killed
him, greatly 10 the relief and safety of
our townsman, who was closely be-
seiged in his own house.
We may state, i'm conclusion, that
Mr.. Douglass owes his safety to his
great strength, being a man of two
hundred pounds weight, and proper
tonate muscular power. Our friend
was entirely unarmed; and although
during the combat his servants
brought him his gun, the encounter
was so terrific that he was unable to
use firearms.-Ne,onan { Ga) Herald.

Dom Piatt tells an irreverent story
at the expense of Roscoe Conkling,
who has practised the manly art of
self-defence assiduously, and delights
to use his friends as buffers. One,
who had been often importuned to put
on the gloves, brought in friend
lately and introduced him as one who
would accommodate the Senator. The
upshot was that the Senatorial beauty
threw up his arms, and stumbling
back, fell over q lounge, leaving no.
thing visible but his Senatorial legs,
and there he lay, studying new sort
of astronomy that seemed to be made
up of fireworks, while his visitor re-
marked :-"I beg your pardon, Mr..
Senator, l thought you more expert
enced than you seem to be. | am
an old hand at this sort of thing,
having been brought up in the prize
ring"
