MODE OF MANAGING A FESTIVE
HoRsE.-A groom, Inountedon a high
mettled hunter, entered the High
street of Coldstread, and when oppo-
site Sir John Majoribanks' monument,
the horse began to plunge and rear to
a fearful extent, swerving to the right,
and then to the left, but go foSYard he
would not, nor could all the e&ertions
of the groom overcome his Obstinacy.
The street was filled with people ex-
pecting to see the animal destroy him.
self ON the spikes of the iron railing
round the mOnum mt, when MIR. Nc
Dougal, saddler, walked up to the
groom and said 81 think, my man,
that you are not taking the proper
method of making the horse go; allow
me, if you please, to show you trick
worth knowing" "Well," said the
groom, "if you can make him go, it's
more than l CAM" when Mr.. McDOugal
took piece of whip-cord, which he
tied with firm knot on the end OF 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 20 quietly home, like a good
horse" Astonishing to relate, the
horse moved of as gently as if nothing
had happened. Mr.. McDOugal says he
has seen, in London, horses which nc
manner of force could make go, while
this mild treatment was always sue
cessful.- II Kelso (Eng.) Chronicle. t q

VALUE OF. Muck AND AsHES.-In
the discussion on fertilizers, at the re-
cent meeting of the Massachusetts,
State Board of Agriculture, Pre- ,ident
Wilder said that he had used muck,
combined with potash as substitute
for ashes, with good results.
In reply to an inquiry as to the COM
parative value of leached and unleached
ashes, DR.. Nichols said he would rather
pay forty cents per bushel for the
former than ten cents per bushel for the
latter. Coal ashes he considered but
little better than sand.
The frauds in fertilizers, Mr.. Brown
said, were constant and great, and
farmers should combine to put this
down. There was no time to be wasted.
They could not afford to pay $50 per
ton for phosphates. He advised farm
ers to use Lar quantities of muck. He
thought that every cord placed upon the
soil was worth two deliars. 1t was
good on all sorts of land. He should
consider his time well spent If he
could encourage farmers to use muck
extensively. -.
Mr.. Barnard, of Worcester, said he
had used muck as a manure for forty
five years. He put it under his barn
as an absorbent, and applied it to his
land, eOmpOsted one load of manure
with two loads of muckI In that time
he had not bought 800 worth o.
manure. His farm, which did not cu1
over twenty-five tons of hay per annunl
when he took it, now kept over forty
head of stock; with only eigteen acre.
of pasture land, he had kept twenty
cows the past season. He was conf
dent that he hadraised five tons of ha!
to the acre.

working is of the highest Importance,
as without 1t the grass will not be able
to resist the effects of dry periods which
occur almost every summer. A week
OF hot dry summer weather VIII be
sufficient to dry up the grass on thin
soil, whist on a deep, well prepared
soil, a whole month of drouth will fail
to destroy the yerdure We have all
seen frequent illustrations of this.
This deepening of the soil viii not
only insure the safety of the grass in
dry weather, but will promote the
growth Of all trees, shrubs and plants
that may be used in planting it. The
depth, whatever it NAV be, should be
uniform, for If it be deeper in some
places than IN others, the deep places
viii settle and make the ground uneven.
B. Evenness of surface Is of great
Importance. | do not mean level. for
an undulating surface is quite as de
s1rable for lawn as a level one; but
whether level or undulating it must be
smooth and free from even the smallest
stones, as these intefere with the oper-
atlons of the moving machine.
The operations of draining, deepen
ing, levellng and removing the stones,
are all we'll understood and need no
further comment.
What is the best grass for a lawn
Is question frequently asked. Ny
answer usually is Red Top, and about
4 or bushels, 80 or so pounds to the
acre. The smaller quantity will be
sufficient If the seed be clear and good,
which 1t seldom is. Some people re-
commend white clover, say one-fourth,
to be mixed with the Red Top, and
this does very well, but | prefer the
pure Red Top.
What Is the best time for seeding a
lawn Early in the spring, at the first
moment the ground viii bear working
All preparatory work on the ground
should be performed in the fall, so that
during the winter it may settle, and
any defects that may be developed can
be corrected before sowing. In the
spring, at the fitting moment, give Il
light blowing, d good narrowing, pick
of the stones, SOW the seed, and give 1t
a good rolling, which finishes the work
Small pieces of lawn, where expense
Is minor matter, can be made better
by using turf from an old sheep pas
ture or common. instead of seed. The
annoyance of weeds which is sometimes
experienced IN newly seeded lawns,
will thus be avoided. The preparation
OF gound for turf is just the same as for
seed
| ought to refer to the fact that many
people think that oats or some grain
should be sowed with the grass. but
this Is a great error. The result of this
method usually Is a meadow instead of
a lawn.
By sowing early In the spring, Won
you have may a respectable lawn by
midsummer Where turf is employed
it should, If possible, be laid down in
tbs fall
