Errors in the Treatment of the Horse.

In the midst Of change, improve
saaent. reform, says the Philadelphia
E~dyer, quite a number OF question:
able old notions continue to be fol-
lowed, even now, when the very er-
roneOus character Of some of them
has been acknowledged. OF this
character is the rigid adherence OF
a number Of drivers Of horses to
that useless and injurious relic Of
old times, the chcck-rcin. It's use
with horses is positively cruel.
When horse Is drawing a heavy
load, and particularly cup hill, he
needs the utmost freedom of lungs
and wind, and this he can never
have with Il tight chcck-rcin. That
the chcckrein prevents horse
from stumbling is more than doubt
ful; on the contrary, by clcvating
his eyes, it prevents him from see
ing clearly where to place the foot.
When horse does stumble he is
far less likely to go down when his
head is left free.
In England, where they are far
ahead Of us in everything pertain
ing to horses, the check-rein has
been abolished; the last surren-
der being that of the artillery and
commissariat trains Of the British
army, the change having been made
bv Sir George Burgoync, the Com
mandent-in-chicf, and he testifes to
the beneficial effects attending it.
In New York city, thanks to Mr..
Berg, many of the finest equipages
are driven without the check rein,
and a few humane people have
thrown it out of use here. The old
fashioned ''blinkers," or blind halt
ers. are also useless, ifnot positively
Injurious, by coming in contact with
the lids of the horses eye; and ma
ny experienced horsemen long ago
came to the conclusion that horses
arc more easily alarmed by what
they hear and do not see, because,
being intelligent animals, ifthcy can
fully see the objects, which when
unseen or impcrfectly seen, tend to
trighten them, they are more readi-
lv catmotI.

Cabbagelfor Cattle.

An English writer says: The Gull
tiyation Of the cabbage is greatly
extended. 1t comes into use when
other things fail, and is far the best
succulent for milch cows and pre-
serving, better than any other food,
some portion Of the quality which
cheese loses when the cows quit
their natural pastures. Cows when
fed on cabbages are always quiet
and satisfied, while on turnips they
often scour and are restless. Cab
bages are given whole on the pas
lures, and later i'm the season are
either pulled orplaced in the trough
whole. When frosted they are like
ly to produce hoveo, unless kept in
Il shed to thaw before they are used:
fifty-six pounds given at two meals,
is all a large COW should have in a
day. Frequent cases ofabortion are
occasioned by an over supply of
green food. Cabbagcs are excellent
for young animals, keeping them in
health. \ calf Of seven months NAV
have twenty pounds a day.

How TO BUILD ANIcB IIorsE.-A
correspondent of the R~ol World
recommends the following plan to
those wishing to build permanent
ice house. 1t would not be adapted
to level land where drainage is diff
cult:
For an ordinary farm purpose
make an excavation 10xl4 feet, II
feet deep; dig Il trench and lay the
tile or some other material i'll the
bottom to prevent any water from
standing, which will melt ice very
fast. Wall up all around eight feet;
then put on your center, and turn a
good arch over the entire length.
The arch ought to be made of brick
nine inches thick and four feet Gle
walton, or of stone twelve inches
thick. Put the door in at one end
perpendicular; also trap poor as
in out door cellars; run Il tluc about
four feet from each end to carry off
the heat and gas. Cover the arch
with earth to the depth Of three feet,
and sod over and plant Il clump of
trees to prevent the sun from shin
ing on the mound, and you have a
house or cellar that will last an age,
and give good satisfaction. The
perpendicular door 2N4I feet is large
for convenience; a cellar of the
above size can be built for SIS, all
complete, and, Improperly filed, will

family.

Curing SowED CoHN.-lt is a
laborious task TO cut by hand sever
al acres of heavy sweet corn. My
neighbors find it almost impossible
to gather the shocks into stacks, or
NOW, and prevent spelling. Besides
standing in the shock in the field
through very much wet weather, as
we often have in the fall, greatly
lessons the value. My plan is to
prepare the ground well, SOW early,
and roll after sowing; let it stand
until it begins to ripen. Here is
the main point of success. When
the lower leaves begin to turn yell
low the saccharinc matter begins to
turn into sugar, and then there is
less water to dry out, and the corn
is of much more value. The ground
being rolled smooth, you can cut
with machine close to the ground;
let it lay four or five days in the
sun, then rake with horse rake and
cock up, allowing it to remain in
cock two days, when it can be haul
ed with as much dispatch as the
same amount of timothy hay. With
the aid of one man and boy we haul
ed off, last fall, three acres in one
day, putting into small stacks and
NOW, and it kept as bright as need
be. We have practiccd this plan
for several seasons, and havcncvcr
lost aMy.-R'rM Nem YORKER.

A QUESTION ToR MR. DYER.-The
Democrats In the Ninth congressional
district, whose votes Hon. D. P. DYER
solioits, are putting some troublesome but
entirely pertinent questions to that gen.
tleman. The latest one is propouuded BY
the Columbia Statesman, and 10 ss fol-
lows:
We hope Judge King, our stardard.
bearer for congress. will impale Col. Dyer
before the people with this question
"Sir. 1t you arc defeated by the regis
tered vote Of the district, will you abide
the result, or will you again appeal 70
kodman to count you into congress % YOU
did iu 1862"
This is q fair interrogatory, and Va
are little curious to see how Mr.. Dye.
will answer it. Ifhe says'he will abide
the result, we would like to know Why hs
did not abide II in 1868; II he says he
WILL appeal to Rodmau, he ought to b.
c'assed as perpetual "Hsteite. Re

Grants Strategy.

Grant is WORKING with all his might foI
second term Of the Presidency. |,
gives him 40 much time to play, to run
around to fairs, spend his summers a'
fashionable watering places, etc, that he
thinks it would be extremely nice TO be
elected 10 1879. He is like q little boy
at school; the more recess no gets, the
more he wants; and If some of tho friends
who use him SO effectively we're to pre-.
sent him With en- over sized plum pud-
ding, We doubt If he would have the dis
cretion to stop munching on Il until it had
fairly made him sick. Yes, he wants to
be President again, so that he can have q
pleasant time four years longer. To Sc.
cure this position he leans as much as no
possibly can without topping over to
wards the disfranchising elouent of his
party but, poor boy, he'l find that there
is a stronger element IN the country than
his bayoncts and dlsfranchising laws in
1872. His sending Federal troops into
Alabama and Georgia, and other South
ern States, and his preference fo, tho
McClurg faction in this State. he will find
arc only broken rounds in the ladder he
is attempting to climb. Honest Repub.
LEANS already denounee him, and the
very means he is using to secure his sue.
cess will defeat him. No doubt he would
like to secure a strong Radical Congress /;
it would help him materially in his am
bilious aims but the prospects now are,
that his bayonets will not secure the
Radical success he hopes for in Alabama
aud Georgia. no more than they did in
North Carolina, and where this convinc-
ing argument Of the Presidents is not
used, he cant expect much assistance.
Reticence, my boy, rcticence is your best
strategy.

War for New York.

Grant will try his bayonets in New
York at the approaching election. 10
the meantime Gov. Hoffman is consider
ing what he will do in case United States
troops are sent into the State for the pur-
pose Of obstructing the election. He
has consulted several eminent jurists, both
Democratic and Republican, who say that
such proceeding, which will be done in
accordance with an net passed at the last
session CT Congress in relation to cleo.
tions, is wholly unconstitutional, and who
have advised the Governor to follow the
plain constitutional law of the State !;
that every Federal soldier or deputy mar.
shal who shall attempt to hinder or OBJ
struct the election should be arrested,
tried, and sentenced. In accordance with
this opinion the State militia will be kept
under arms, aud any attempt to enforce
the law passed by Congress will be
promptly resisted by on overwhelming
majority. Attorney General Alderman
says the Government will enforce the
law If one hundred thousand volunteers
have to be called upon to do it. This
locks like warm times may be expected
in New York.
When we look back . few years, such

Radical injustice maintained its suprem
scy. This was first practiced in The
South. 1t was predicted that Northern
States would not escape the ordeal if they
promised to overthrow Rsdicalism and
centralizatiou. The prophecy was booted
at. Now the time has come. The Rad.
icals feel the reius of power slipping from
their hands; their unjust and proscrip.
tive laws fail to serve their ends or throw
back the tide Of popular feeling that
threatens to sweep ceutralizAtiou from the
government. They must retain their
power if thcy can; not by fair means,
for that cannot be done, but by foul
blood must run like water or Radicalism
must continue to tyrannise. Hence, New
