write up-river items and occasional squibs

BRIDES AND GROoMs AT NIAGARA.

A correspondent, at Niagara, says;
"June is a favorite month tor Cupid s
victims to take the bonds, and SO accus.
toned have hotel proprietors become to
the influx of subjects for future divorces
during this month, that they make many
changes in their general rules and bill Of

and in five minutes both stood revealed
in all their deceltful imagery. True,
there was an absence of white dimity and
feathers, of silk hat and too-tight gloves
and boots, the usual signs of fresh VIC

claimed: Where my fan, Mr.. 'Glidden !?

WATERING HOUSE PLANTs.-There is
an art in watering plants which novice
rarely knows They should never be
watered unless they are really thirsty
unless the surface of the soil is dry, then
water until it runs out in the saucer.
After all are thus thoroughly watered,
turn out the surplus which is in the
saucers, as it is Injurious TO most plants
to have the pots stand in water! Hy.
drangeas, Gala lilies and lobelias are
exceptions to this rule, v
Plants which are budding and bios
soming vigorously require more water
than those which. are not SO healthy.
In fact jud cement is needtul in this mat
ter of watering, and it is only attained
by practice. One thing is very neces
sary, and that is, always use water warm
to the hand. Never apply one drop of
cold water 1t chills the roots SO that
they cannot grow. We had friend who
used to water her plants with the tea
left in the teapot after breakfast, and her
success as cultiyator was marvellous !
Rather expensive, but it certainly was
efficacious. All plants kept in rooms
should be we'll washed at least once a
fortnight, aud once week will insure a
more healthy growth.-1he Household.

How TO FATTEN A Poor HORSE
Many good horses devour large quanti-
ties OF grain or hay, and still continue
thin and poor; the food eaten is not
properly assimilated. 1t the usual feed
has been unground grain and hay, moth
ing but change will effect any desire
able alteration in the appearance of the
animal. In case oil meal cannot be OBJ
tanned readily, mipgie bushel Of fax
seed with a bushei o., barley, one of oats,
and another bushelfof Indian corn, and
let it be ground into fine meal. This
will be q fine proportion for all his feed.
Or the meal, or the barley, oats and corn,
in equal quantities, may first be procured,
and one-fourJh part of oilCake9 mingled
with it, when the meal is sprinkivd on
cut feed. neoasTe9 a5i bas rt4s a.i5 10 NY.
Feed two or three quarts of the mixture
two or three times daily, mingled with q
peck of cut hay and straw IS Ii the horse
will eat that greediiy, let the Quantity be
gradually increased until he will eat four
or six quarts at every feeding, three times
q day. So long as the animal will eat
this allowance the quantity may be in
creased little every day. But avoid
the practice of allowing horse to stand
at rack we'll filled with hay. In order
to fatten. a horse. that has run. down in
flesh. the groom Should be very particular
to feed the animal no more than he will
eat up clean and lick his manger for more.
