All horses must not be fcl in the
same proportions, without duu,rc-
gard to their ages, their constitu-
lions, and their WORK. because the
improperly OF such 4 practice is
sell-eyidCnt. Yet it is constantly
done, and Is the basis of disease OF
every kind.
Never Use bad hay on account OF
its chcapness. Because there is not
proper mOurishmentin It.
Damaged corn is exceedingly in
furious. Because it brings on in-
%hammalion Of the bowels and skin
diseases.
Chat ia better for old horses than
hay. Because they al chew and
digest it better.
Mix chat with corr Or beans, aud
do not give the latter alone. Be-
cause it makes the horse chew his
food more, and digest it better.
Hay or grass alone will not sup
port q horse under hard work. Be-
cause there is not sufficient nutri.
tive body in either.
Water your horse from a pond or
stream rather than from u spring
or we'll. Because the latter Is gem
orally hard and cold, while the
former Is soft and comparatively
warm. The horse prefers soft mud
dy water to hard water, though ever
so clear.
Downing, in his work on fruit
trees, says peach trees can be pre-
served from the worm by applying
salt about The tree.
Jumping Cattle.-l would say to
the numerous readers Of your pa
per, that to prevent cattle from
jumping, clip the lower eye lashes.
|, with my neighbor, turned TO pas
ture two yearliDgs; mine returned
10 the barn in the course of haitian
hour. | returned her to pasture.
This time, before | could leave
the pasture, tho yearling jumped a
four-fOot fence and went home first
my neighbours soon followed. The
next morning | clipped the lower
lashes, he the upper, and turned
them out again i; mine remained,
his returned home he returned his
three times in the course Of the day,
each time finding mine walking up
and down the fence in a perfect
maze. Though you have but little
try it and give lis the result.

Rhubarb, Pic-Plant.-This should
be transplanlCd every Two or three
or the stalks produced will
be quite small. The work may be
lone at almost any season. II is
to do the work in spring,
the plants have started but
then any time until the first
or middle Of June. Some brewers
are in the habit of pulling tho rhu.
for market, aud after the crop
Is secured, then transplant for the
next year. One Of the best crow
,rs OF this plant that we ever knew
would never allow this course 10
DC pursued. This plant must have
! very large amount OF manure to
give the very best results.
The Pindar.-Thc Port Gibson
has an article on the pin
lar, or %gooberpea. 1t says: Our
Mr.. j. II. licdrick, informs
Us that he raised, this season, from
IboW half an aCr OF ground, SO
bushels Of pindars, most of which
ic has shipped to market. We be.
i've they are worth - 80 per bush
Il in ST. Louis. Even at 50 there
5 no cotton crop that will pay like
hat. 1t would he a very poor acre
If ground that would not produce
II least 100 bushels and a very
,OOr LOO bushels OF pindars that !
would not bring 500 net. Can
farmer do that with cotton?
The labor aud expense Of culture
re comparatively nothing, and
here lisa sure and increasing mar
.et for them"
The Southern Farmer speaks
cry highly Of the Brinley plow
Or farm purposes. ,
The same paper says OF the gOl- ,
Ell prolific cotton seed !
We advise you to plant your :
rOps with this seed. We will !
uarantee you from one-third to ,
ne-half more cotton than from the ;
rdinary. All who purchased for
lst year are delighted, and will
liant it altogether this. We will
rake hundreds Of dollars for yuu
: YOU will take our advice in this. !
We tried it last year by the side Of |
he common and the Dickson's .
manure, aud it produced =
1t does not cast it, fur
Dws, and it holds its lint, aud is
ldced prolific. We shall plant it
Together this year. We arc agents ,
D. it, and will forward pure seed {
