MANURING FOR SRPlNG.-Ground that
is to be used Tor vegetables next spring
should be manured i'll the fall. Haul
out from the barn-yard all the manure
that can be spared for this purpose, and
spread it over the surface, and then plow
under, and leave the soil in light ridges
until spring. If the manure is fresh aud
warm, it will become sufficiently cool
and decomposed by spring, and its
juices thoroughly incorporated with the
soil. Where the surface of the land is
nearly level and there is no danger of
the manure washing away, 1t may be
spread upou the surface even after the
ground is frozen. For vegetables the
enriching materials should be thorough
ly decomposed and incorporated with
the soil and We do not know of bet.
ter way of doing this than in autumn,
ploughing once at this time, and then
again in the Spring. The heavy rains
will do more towards mixing the mate
rials than any manipulation with plough
or spade.

TIE HIS cara groom, mounted on
a high mettled hunter, entered the High
street of Coldstream and when opposite
Sir John Majorbanks' monument, the
horse began to plunge and rear to a
frightful extent, swerving to the right
and then TO the left, but 90 forward he
would not, nor could all the cxertions of
the groom overcome his obstinacy. The
street was filled with people expecting
to see the animal destroy himself OH the
spikes of the iron railing round the monu-
ment, when Mr.. McDougall saddler,
walked up to the groom and said 81

proper method to make the horse go

trick worth knowing" "Well,' said the
groom, If you can make him GO, it's
more than / can y wien Mr.. McDougall
took piece of whip-cord, which he tied
with firm knot on the animals ear,
which he bent gently down, fastening
the end of the string to the check-buckle
of the bride this done, he patted the
horses neck once or twice, and said, NOW
let me see you go quietly home like
good horse" Astonishing as it may
seem, the horse moved off as gently as
if nothing had. happened. Mr.. Nc
Dougall says he has seen in London
horses which no manner of force could
make go, while this mild treatment was
always successful. l.-Kelso Chronicle.
