a horses mouth becomes frozen by the cold
iron several times day put into it each
time causing these freezings to go deeper and
deeper, to end at last in extensive liberation.
With such sore mouth the poor horse re-
fuses to eat and pines away, which calls the
horse doctor in. They call it bots, CHAMBERS,
horse-ail, etc., and go to examining down
poisonous drugs, in doses; and the next you
know of the poor creature, he is trotted on
to be food for fish or the crows. Many q
valuable horse has been mysteriously y
lost in just that way. Thinking and humane
people avoid this by first warming the bits 5
but this is much trouble, and sometimes i'm
possible, as in night work like staging and
physicians work. Now all this trouble and
loss are entirely avoided, as we have found
on large trial, by getting the harness-makers
to get leather bits for winter use, so made
that no metal substance can touch the flesh.
They are durable and cost only half dollar.
We wouldn't exchange ours for gold one,
if it couldn't be replaced. Don't fail to try
it.-Rural World Ht

An exchange gives this a description of
a well planned farmer smoke house 1t was
about six feet square, the lower half built OF
brick, furnished with iron-lined door,
aud serving as an ash-house and place for the
fire. The upper part, about four feet high
besides the ascent of the roof, was made of
wood. 1t was separated from the lower part
by scantling joists, space of two or three
inches between them, through which smoke
and air could freely pass, but sufficient to
catch any ham that might accidentally fall,
and thus save from the fire. The upper part,
as well as the lower, was entered by a door
from the outside; this upper door may be
kept locked, except when admitting or with
drawing hams but the lower may be I'M
locked, to attend to the fire, without any
danger of the contents being stolen, as the
thief cannot pass through the openings be-
tween the ioists. The joists should be SO far
above the floor of the lower part as to pre-
vent the possibility of their taking FIRE during
the process of smoking.

IMPORTATION OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE BY
ENGLAND.-At this time it may not be with
out interest to state how much wheat and
other produce was imported into England in
1869. The government returns show that
seventy millions of bushels of wheat were
imported into Great Britain during the twelve
months ending the 3lst of December last.
Of this amount there came from the Prussian
provinces about IL IL millions of bushels !;
from France, somewhat less than one million.
Now, from the United States there was i'm
ported for the same time "a LIS millions of
bushels. So that if we add the wheat with
drawn from import into England by the war
as only equal to what these countries exported
into Great Britain last year, we would be
required to send three bushels across the
ocean for every two sent last year, to make
up that single deficiency. This is worth
thinking of in this point of view. This does
not include the wheat, meal and -four from
the Hanse towns and from France, which
amount to FIVE millions of buzhels moro, and
the amount sent from the United States is
equal to about the same During 1869,
there was also imported into Great Britain
100 ,669, I68 pounds of cheese. This is also
an article that will be in largely increased
demand by the war, as we Michigan

An EGYPTIAN PLAGUE.-The present season
will be remembered, not only for the hot
weather, but also for the plague of flies.
Having tried various remedies offered by the
fly physicians, and the matter growing no
better. but the worse rather, set up the
old-fashioned fly trap with much better sue
cess. Every clap Of this mitrailleuse brought
down scores and hundreds at once, but per-
haps the usual crowd of mourners or substi-
tutes will follow. These pests have been so
annoying to cattle, that in some instances
have noticed the skin had cracked open and
was peeling off the fore legs of some cows.

A SUBSTITUTE FOR CoFFEE.-From chemi-
cal analysis it appears that the asparagus seeds
when dried, parched, and ground, make a
full favored coffee, but little inferior to No
cha, containing in common with tea and
coffee, the principle called taurine. Dry the
asparagus berries well, after being thoroughly
ripened; then rub them on a sieve, thus the
seeds are readily separated.

Reunion of Edinburgh Agricultural
~Essociations -

y - Association =
The Agricultural Association of this
town has, for a number of weeks, been
contemplating festival or reunion.
in order to bring together all the
members of that body, socially. Ac-
cordingIy, on Friday eve, January
26th, their resolution was carried into
effect, by the gathering together,at the
Center, of nearly all the towns-people.
The hall in which the festival was held
was brilliantly lighted and gracefully
trimmed. Indeed, the, combined infu-
ence of evergreens, wreaths, bouquets,
pictures and brackets, served to trans
form the hall into what might seem a
fairy's home. At an early hour the
people began gathering in and by
eight o'clock the hall above and be-
low was crowed to what seemed its
utmost capacity. The dining-room
was arranged to accommodate COM
fortably eighty persons at a sitting.
The tables were arranged to cover
three sides of the room, and such ta-
bles as Edinburgh people never fail to
display on festive occasions. Turkeys,
chickens, sandwiches and oysters con-
stituted thesubstantial part of the sup
per, while cakes, pies, tarts and pastry
ofall sorts made up a delicious des+
.sert. 1t is estimated that about two
hundred partook of the repast.
After supper a number of toasts
were given ana responded to, few
of which are the following:
The Edinburg Agricultural Asso-
ciation-May it in the future, as in
the past stimulate its members to unit
ed efforts and harmonious action.
