HORSES IN SUMMER.

Farm work during the hot summer
months requires only the Gghtest harness.
Wooden collars are now used, with great
comfort to the horse. In the cities the
harness worn by street railroad horses is
as scant as is consistent with the work
they have to perform. No breeching is
used, and hip-straps are dispensed with.
Teams may often be seen blowing in tie
hot days of July and August in tue same
harness they were during the winter.
This is unnecessary, nay, sometimes it
amounts to positive cruelty. Remove
every superfuous strap, take away the
baCk-strsp and crupper band, and let the
air circulate freely around the body. All
night, when work is over, wash the sweat
and dust from the legs and thighs of the
horse; a dash of water on his TANKS
would be grateful TO him. Let his stable
be airy aud clean, with a bed of clean
straw. Kindness to these serviceable
animals is thc truest economy. Besides,
we feel better when our horses are made
comfortable; the sensation is akin to that
derived from the doing OF benevolent
action. A sensitive man cannot see a
horse sweating under and CALLED by q
heavy harness during the intense heat of
summers day, without sympathy and
pity, nor can he retire to rest with an
easy conscience knowing that his faithful
! servants in The stable are improperly
cared for and suffering. "The righteous
man regardeth the life of his BEAST

now TO KILL TREES BY WA,
TERING.

Before We had LEANED what not TO do
in pomology and arbOriculture, in order TO
make ire, thrive luxuriantly and bear
sbundantly IN hot and dry weather, we
destroyed several fine eveTgrecns simply
by puerile management. This occurred
during a severe drought, when we knew
no more than other boys how not to water
trees. Every evening several pailsful of
tepid water were poured on the dry ground
around each tree, and the parched earth
drank up the scanty supply without SEEM
ing to have been even sprinkled with wa
ter. During the day the soil around those
trees seemed drier and harder than when
there was no water. The more they were
watered, the more the leaves and branches
and the hard soil seemed to need gener-
GUS drenchiDg. No effort was made TO
save any, excepting those valued most.
But every one that was watered literally
died before winter. The trees were well
rooted in grass ground, having been
planted two years. If some one had told
the inexperienced youth TO spread straw
or shaviDgs round about those trees, over
an area of ten feet in diameter, before
applying the water, every one could have
been saved. If the ground were mellow
and not mulched, the true way would
have been TO draw back few inches in
depth of the surface, water literally, af-
ter which return the mellow soil. This
is the true way to water any plant, if we
would prevent the surface of the ground
from becoming crusty. Mulching is bet
ter. If bearing trees can be mulched
during the hot and dry weather, the fruit
will grow much larger for it.

for repairs constantly needed. This
makes up formidable of aggregate.
In Europe, where very few fences are
found, there is no Inconvenience felt by
the people. In France, Germany and
Holland, farmers hold their land in COM
mon, with only narrow paths between.
There the annual tax cur people have to
submit to of 81 80 on every acre of i'm
proved land, the cost of fencing, is not
known. Here the fence tax is much
more than the aggregate of State and
local taxes. iesisraa 6.rs 49, .i-- LII SD
In Missouri and California, the advo-
Gates of reform in fencing laws are
making vigorous exertions to accomplish
their purpose, and every day public opin-
ion is growing stronger in favor of the
change. Here, where the suggestions are
novel, and the people have not thought
on the question, the proposition may be
somewhat unpalateable; but the time will
come when self interest will force change
in opinion and policy. 49,. :.

FENCES.

The fences of the United States have
cost more than the houses, cities included,
more than ships, boats ard vessels of
every description, which sail the ocean,
lakes and rivers; more than our manufac-
tories of all kinds, with their machinery;
more than any one class of property,
aside from real estate, except it may be
the railroads of our country. --
In sn article on this subject the PEG
pies Journal says that the first cost of
fences in New York was between one
hundred and fifty and two hundred mil
lions of dollars. Assuming this to be
approximately correct aud estimating
the first cost of fences in other States on
the same basis, we have as the total first
expense of fences of The country the vast
sum of 81 298, 600, 600. This viii require

ROMANTIC RETREAT IN CHEAT

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
CRAGeIE HOPE, CHRATHAM COUNTY,
July "a, 1S71.-If any of your readers
wish TO take short trip into the country,
but short distance from the city, st q
very moderate expense, come up to Crag-
gle Hope, tWenty-six miles from Nash
vile, and two miles from Kingston
Springs, very romantic, picturesque
and pleasant little place, unostentaiiOus
in its appearance or pretentiens, but
where heap of comfort can be had.
Until l came here, few days since, |
had no idea of the beauty of the place
and Its surroundings. We have bere a
hotel, store, church and school house,
several dwellings, mill, etc, etc., and
s1tcb springs and branches, clear as
crystal, cool ss zephyrs, and the most
delicious water, and as pure atmosphere
as any in the world. Our landlord, MI.
James Irvine, and lady, assisted by her
mother, Mrs. Paddock, 8 lady seventy
years of age, will treat you quite as well
as you could wish, and will furnish you
with meals fit for the most fas,idiOus.
The elder lady is one of the most agreea-
bic of her age that l have ever had the
pleasure of meeting.
This place was founded by Mr. James
A Woods, most esiimsble gentleman,
formerly of Nashville, whose wife gave
the place lis appropriate name, 'Cfaggie"
from the crags which surround it and
give it lis picturesque appearance, and
"HOpe," from the hope she has to see it,
at no very distant day, place of some
Importance. Il is indeed q delightful
spot, on the crags-not perhaps equal to
those Of which Scott writes, yet, | doubt
not, naturally quite as romantic.
We are now being visited by an enter
prising gentleman from Nashville, who is
here with view Of establishing 8 wool
and cotton factory, and friend of his, 3
prominent real estate agent, who has
come to 'fspy out the land. Come up
and jujge for yourselves; throw off your
business cares and your ennui, fish,
battle, tramp ''o'er the hills and far
away" get good appetite and satisfy it
by good country fare, and in few days
you viii feel rejuvensted and ready to
return to your labors with renewed vigor
and energy. Yours truly, MARIE.

BEET SUGAR mANUrAUrURr.


Our farmers, who, are looking out fo
new products, have recently had their at
tention directed to the cultivation of tn,
beet for the manufacture of sugar. Ii
the Monthly Report of the Department o.
Agriculture we find short but interesting
article on this subject. 1t states thai
George T. Chapman, of New York, who
has been examining the process Of beei
sugar manufacture in Europe has informed
the department that number of promi
nent merchants and capitalists in New
York will organize q company to operate
on an extensive scale In Texas, if that
region proves to be favorable to eacchs-
rine development of the beet. He reports
details of the success of Mr.. James Dun.

Capital employed, sl2,oOo; bee,s used

tons; cost of beets, $4,000; fac
tory expenses for ITO days,

000;- total expenses, 912, 400. The
receipts for $40 tons of sugar, at e43 per
ton, f29, 22o; 1900 tons pulp sold to
farmers, at lbs per ton, e720; total re-
ceipts, e2S, $40; profit, Ell, $40. The
average percentage of sugar obtained
from these beets by DR.. Voelcker's anal
ysis was 10, but the percentage actually
obtained at Layenham was 9, by the pro-
cess of single csrbonization. This process
is stated TO be not equal to Schrosenbach's
alcoholic process. Carbonic acid gas is
passed through the strip after the first
DELEGATION with lime and first boiling down.

the granulating point. Mr. Chapman
brought home bag of this sugar for
samples, equal to the best refined white
cane sugar, and ma lie in England at two-
thirds the cost of the latter.
A small brochure, the work of 8
Belgian agriculturist in England, just
issued, upon the 'beet-root sugar ques-
tion," represents the manufacture OF
sugar as favoriDg greatly the interest OF
small farmers of Belgium. The manu-

GREEN COLOR In PICKLEs.--lt is said
that to impart an excellent green color TO
pickles they must first be covered with
boiling hot salt water, and after short
time the water poured off and the pickles
drained. They are then to be placed in
an earthern pot and covered with boiling
vinegar, the top put on, and the whole
kept at q warm temperature for long
time, the vinegar being poured off every
day, heated to boiling, and then turned
again on the pickles. This is to be cons
tinued until the color is a beautiful green.
The vinegar used in this process is then
to be poured off and replaced by fresh,
and the jar closed tightly. This method
of coloring is perfectly harmless, although
the result is as bright green az verdi
girls.

green tomatoes, one dozen onions. Slice
and put in layers, with salt sprinkied

half ounces of ground black pepper, one
ounce of yellow mustard seed, one ounce
of allspice. Put the pickle in kettle in
layers with the spice and add vinegar
enough to cover up all, first wetting the
mustard, and let the whole boil twenty
minutes. The same recipe is excellent
made with half tomatoes and half green
peppers, and when done and perfectly
cold, one gill of olive oil.
