BREAKING COLTS.

1t requires patience and frmness to break
in and tame the colt. Kindness has been
found by experience to be more eflectual than
brute force to secure the confidence and sub
due the untutored colt. 1t is the natural con-
sequence of the legitimate control of the hui
man mind over brute instincts-thc triumph
of intellect over the animal passions. In a
combat OF physical force, the horse is strong
CT than man, and would be sure to triumph !;
but in II contest of mind he is easily subdued.
1t is this force of mind that gives man con-
troll over the horse and the whole animal
kingdom.
Mind is omnipotent over the brute. Animal
instincts recognize their dependence. SYM
pathy is not dumb. 1t speaks in the language
of mutual confidence. We have only to refer
to the modern art of training colts to verify
the magic of mind over brute passions. For
instance, the trainer often blndfolds the wild
colt with heavy blankets, leaves him firmly
fastened to post, tormented in darkness, till
he sweats profusely from terror-stricken eX-
element. The breaker at the appointed time
quietly relieves him, and upon the gentle law
of kindness brings him out of darkness into
light. The terror-stricken colt instantly rec

FRENCH METHOD OF RAISING
TOMATOES.

As soon as a cluster of flowers is visible,
the stem is topped down to the cluster, so
that the flowers terminate the stem. The
effect is that the sap is Immediately impelled
into the two buds next below the cluster,
which soon push strongly and produce an
other cluster of flowers each. When these
are visible, the branch to which they belong
is also topped down to their level, and this is
done successfully. BY this means the plants
become stout dwarf bushes, not eighteen
inches high. In order to prevent their fall
ing over, sticks or strings are sketched hori
zontally along the rows, so MS to keep the
plants erect. In addition to this all the lat
erals that have no flowers, and after the fifth
topping, all laterals whatsoever are nipped
off. In this way ripe sap is directed into the
fruit, which acquires II beauty, size and ex-
cellence unattained by other means.

HOW TO HAVE FINE ROSES.

The rose, because of its beauty and fra
GRANGE is the queen of flowers. For success
in their cultivation, bushes grown upon their
own roots should be procured. They should
be planted in rich mellow soil, where the
sun shines all the day. Once year they
should be pruned, and n coat of manure be
put upon the ground around them. This
treatment causes II large amount of new
wood to form, and us the flowers are on this
young wood, the bushes consequently bios
som profusely. There are several insects
that work more or less upon the leaves. OF
these, the most destructive is small slug or
worm, that eats the varnish that nature has
spread upon the upper side of the leaf, caus-
ing bushes to look often much us though the
fire had singed them These little enemies
should be met and conquered ut once, us
soon us they make their appearance. A sure
remedy is pulverized white hellebore. Put
about two ounces into six gallons of water,
and with brush broom give the bushes "A
sprinkling, bending them so us to wet the
leaves ON both sides. 1t may possibly re-
quire two or three applications. BY this ex-
pertinent find it easy to protect several
hundred bushes, and have them in blossom

horticulture.
WHERE TO LOOK FOR THE FINEST
WILD FLOWERS.

Wild plants of rare beauty abound in re-
cent clearing, especially in a tract from which
growth of hard wood has been felled, if
afterwards the soil has remained undsturb-
ed. In the deep woods the darkness will not
permit any sort Of underground except n
few plants of peculiar habit and constitution.
But after the removal of the wood, all kinds
of indigenous plants, whose seeds have been
waited there by the winds or carried there
by the birds, will revel in the clearing until
they are choked by Il new growth of trees
and shrubs. Strawberries and several spe-
cies of brambles spring up there rs if by
magic, and cover the stumps of the trees with
their vines and their racemes of black and
scarlet fruit; and hundreds of beautiful flow
ering plants astonish us by their presence, us
If they were II new creation. We must look
to these clearings, and to those tracts in
which the trees have been destroyed by fire,
more than to any others, for the exact meth
od of nature. Among the very first plants
which would appear after the burning, be-
side the lliaceous plants whose bulbs lie too
deep in the soil to he destroyed, are those
with downy seeds, which are Immediately
planted there by the winds. One very con-
spcuous and beautiful plant, the Spiked
Willow Herb, is so abundant in any tract
that has been burned, the next year after the
conflagration, that in the West and the Brit
ish Provinces it has gained the name of Fire
weed
But the paradise of the young botanist is a
glade, OF open space in wood, usually lev
ell between two rocky eminences, or II little
alluvial meadow pervaded by II small stream,
open to the sun, and protected ut the same
time from the winds by surrounding hills and
woods. 1t is surprising how soon the flow
cry tenants of one of these glades will van
ish after the removal of this bulwark of
trees. But with this protection, the loveliest
flowers will cluster there, like the singing
birds around II cottage and its enclosures in
the wilderness. Here they find II genial soil
and II natural conservatory, and abide there
until some accident destroys them. Nature
selects these places for her favorite garden
plots.-AHantic Monthly

Stock Raising.
WORD FOR MERINO SHEEP.

DIR. Randall. of the RUrai NeW Todkcr,
gives the following illustration of the fact
that Merino sheep may be prolitably kept on
even comparatively high priced land:
Take the case of Mr.. Stilson of Wisconsin.
He keeps fifteen hundred sheep. Their ma
nure enables him to produce eight or ten
more bushels of wheat to the acre than is
yielded by the average wheat lands of the
State, on which sheep are not kept Yet he
prefers the Merino to the mutton sheep for
this purpose. Why? Because the Merno is
far more cheaply tended, and requires less
skilled labor for its management. Because
it will herd far better in large numbers.
Because it will produce rs much manure in
proportion to the consumption of food. Be-
cause it (when of prime quality will pro-
duce more wool and more value eff wool, IN
proportion to consumption, even now, when
accidental and temporary circumstances are
giving such I'M advantage to long woods in our
markets. Mr. Stilson believes that these
advantages more than than overbalance the
superior value of the mutton of the English
sheep.
And if Mr.. Stilson with extensive aratun,
and with us high culture and systematic TO-
tation Us is common among the best class of
farmers in the west, finds Merinos most prot
table, what shall we say Of the wants of an
other class of western farmers, who make
no pretensions to high culture or systematic
rotation, who till but small proportion of
their lands-and who simply keep sheep, or
some other stock, to utilize pasturages which
otherwise would run to waste? Merinos can
be wintered on hay cut from these grass
lands. Mutton Sheep sufficient to stock the
land in summer, would, to be rendered prof
table, require more extra feed in winter
than could be raised on the farm.
There are great ranges of grazing lands in
the Middle and Eastern States, which pro-
duce good crops Of grass or hay, but which
cannot be profitably titled These should, OF
course, be stocked with animals which can
obtain their whole subsistence from grass
and hay. They are, therefore, obviously
better adapted to the Mcrino than the mutton
sheep.

A NEW REMEDY FOR CABBAGE
WORMS.

An eminent gardenist at Winooski has
discovered the following dead set on that
greatest of all denominations, the cabbage
worm, which he proposes to make II thor
ough trial of this season; He proposes not to
set out any cabbages of his own. and to de-
vote the time usually spent in killing the
worms to seeing his neighbors kill theirs,
and sympathizing deeply with them in their
afilction. He thinks his neighbors will all
give him good cabbage or two, if they have
any, in the fall, because of his deep interest
i'm their affairs.-Free Press.

A correspondent of the Country Gentleman
disapproves of using two inch sole tile for
the trees, within three years after draining,
enter the joints, and clog the boat complete
ly. In examining tile which were three feet
below the surface, he pulled out masses OF
tibrous roots which completely barred the
water. He thinks that the least objection
able kind of drain for IN orchard of bearing
trees, is the old fashioned blind drain, well
secured ut the top by small stones, and such
other material us will prevent the earth over
the drain from breaking through.

some of them will prepare amendments to
several Of the provisions which they consider
not perfectly plain, and which without modi-

ture. One Of the objections to the treaty is
that the San Juan question is to be submitted
to the arbitration of the Emperor of Germany.
The recent report of his indisposition, he
being an old man. suggests that in the event
of his death Frederick, William would succeed
to the throne and thus take the place of his
father as arbitrator, should the question no,
be settled during the present Emperors life
time. The arrangement of the Joint High
Commission is considered unfortunate. in
view of the fact that the Prince having
