Water for Horses.

IN the English Farmers Journal, Mr..
Benjamin Cartledge, of Sheffield, mem
Der of the Royal Veterinary College, calls
attention to the very common mistake
made by keepers of horses in limiting the
supply of water to their animals. Many
owners of horses, most grooms, and others
who have the charge OF them, profess, he
says, "to know how much water horse
ought to be allowed, and, when a poor,
thirsty, over. driven animal arrives at his
journeys end, he is treated to very lin
tied supply, and the pail is taken away
before It's necessity Is half met. 1t is a
mistaken notion that cold water frequent
ly produces collie l have often known
it cure the disease When cold water
does cause abdominal pain, 1t is from long
abstinence, and when the horse drinks to
excess. But even this lis rare. allow
my horse to drink from every trough
meet on the road, if the water be clean,
and, in my own stable, never had a case
ofcolic. At home, my horses always have
ater before them. A friend of mine, to
whom, the other day, gave this advice,
directed his servant to adopt it. The
servant shook his head, and said 'he
thought he knew as well as Mr.. Cartledge
when his horses required water, and how
much The owner, in reply, told the
servant that might be so, but he must
allow his horses to drink as often and as
freely as he did himself"

The Farmer and His Horse.

ONCE at the Cape of Good Hope liyod
farmer who, in the Kindness of his heart
after storm would often mount his
strongly built horse, and ride down to the
sea to see if there were any poor shin.
wrecked sailors whom he might .help.
his horse was noble animal, and a ine
swimmer fl n w
One morning after terrible storm, AZ
the man was riding along the beach, he
saw ship that was going to pieces on the
rocks a few hundred yards from the shorp

sengers he saw still clinging to the
wreck. ---r-vrt -
Hardly had he left the shore when a
great wave rolled over the heads Of both
horse and master, and all who saw them
thought they would rise no more. But
the next moment they were seen, the man
upon the back of the horse, and moving
toward the wreck.
When they reached the ship, the farmer
called to two men who were on board.
who came at his request, and allowed
themselves to be taken on shore, cling.
ing to his boots, one on each side of the
horse.
Seven trips in all were made in this
way, and fourteen people were saved. On
the eighth trip, the sea being very rough,
just after they had left the ship with two
men, great wave overthrew them, and
the farmer was tossed from the back of
the horse and drowned. The horse, by
swimming, reached the shore in safety.

Want Of Ventilation.

The usual modes of warming buildings
are attended by many evils, which directly
affect the health and lives of our families,
who are obliged to remain within doors
by far the greater part of the time.
The entire absence of the means of
ventilation lin most cases, and the failures
which have followed most attempts
in this direction, make the subject one of
the most vital importance. Bad air is a
sIoto poison that is the trouble. People
go on taking it into their lungs day after
day and night after night. They grow
pale, their lungs suffer, the circulation is
languid, they take colds readily the chest,
the stomach, the skin become disordered,
and host of chronic diseases attack them.
A little cnrbonic acid taken every day
does not kill a ner It is almost u pity
1t don't.
If a red-hot stove or sfurnace destroyed
instantly one man in every town daily for
q week, there might be some salvation for
the nation, II, instead of faipting away
in crowded and badly ventilated public
assemblies, people occasionally died out
right in convulsions, the authorities
would take the matter in hand, and make
it penal for the owners of such buildings
TO open them for public use without at
tending to the proper conditions for the
preservation of health. When thing ia
only slow poison, the age is in too much
of hurry to attend to it. Thousands of
dollars are lavished on luxuries
and superfiuities, while the air in
our dwellings is poisoned and burnt
by heating arrangements whose only
recommendation is that they are cteap.
In other words, our wealthiest men are
too poor to afford pure air for themselves
and families. The vital life element is
supplied in their greenhouses and conserv-
atories regardless of expense, while scions
of the human stock, buds and blossoms oi
immortality, are permitted to wither and
decay in the ,sicklv. atmosphere produced
by stoves and hot-air turnaces.-HeIo Y0Tk

WHAT Is THIoK SowIEe.-Alderma
Mechi, the eminent English farmer, and
the advocate of thin seeding, speaking of
his present grain fields saws | could not
find the halEacre of wheat drilled with
only two pecks per acre, for it looked az
thiok 20 where the bushel was sown
Thick sewers should really come and see
my ~ acres of wheat. call one bushel
per acre thick sowing. Barley with six
pecks, and black oats with two bushels
seem thick enough.
IT is said that to remove chaff from an
animals eye, all that is needed is TO roll
piece OF paper around a little stick any
length or size desired and put into quill
some white coffee.orushed sugar and blow
" into the eye. Hold the COW by the
hofns and take by surprise. Generally
two applications are sufficient, if the film
is completely over the eye, the sugar
scours and cleanses and heals all at the
same time. l tried 1t twice in the winter
Oh 1854, on the same COW, with complete
success. Both times it was from oat chaff,
and both times the white film had covered
the eyes. Pulverized loaf sugar is equal

How TO CURE HAY--A correspondent
OF the ~ 10. Farmer says: A process of
curing nay has been adopted and followed
py several farmers of my acquaintance,
Whlcn, as far as can learn, has proved
very satisfactory for several years. The
nay is all cut in the afternoon, when en-
tirely free from external moisture. Next
day, after the dew is all off 1t Is turned
Alter diRner it Is raked and got in with
out delay. There Is no cooking at night
and opening next day. All such labor is
saved. One man who has practiced this
several years is justly considered one of
the best farmers in town. His stock look
well, and produce as much as any. His
iarm improves yearly, and he makes an
annual Investment every year outside
de considers his hay to be better than
when cured the old fashioned way, and it
certainly looks and smells as well as any
Fever saw.
How TO Dry WILD FLowERs. Drying
wild flowers requires great skill and pa
tience, as these fragile blossoms of the
field perish SO quickly. The points to at
tend to are to dry the specimens quickly,
thoroughly, and with pressure that will
not crush them. A good method is to
place each specimen in a sheet of brown
paper, and interpose several empty sheets
between each sheet that is filed then to
place them in a napkin press, and press
them gently for the first day or two, Just
enough TO prevent the leaves and flowers
from shriveling. When the papers are
quite damp, separate them, and spread
them on the floor Of q room where they
can dry little; then gather them togeth-
er and place them again in the press,
rather increasing the pressure. This op-
Grafton should be repeated daily till the
flowers are quite dry. A quicker and
better, but more troublesome way, is to
shift the flowers daily out of their damp
papers into hot and dry ones, Immediate
ly pressing them down.

KEEPING CooL.-The intensely hot
weather Of summer is on us, and persons
working out of doors are liable to sun
stroke, and if that is not talways imminent,
other ailments are that an intense heating
of the blood and brain makes more or less
sure. If the head is kept cool, the man is
generally safe; and an experience in the
hay field that reaches over nearly dozen
summers, before moving machines were
in general use, leads US to say that a
bunch of green grass worn in the hat,
moistening it occasionally when it gets
hot and somewhat dry, is one of the best
preventives TO sunstroke or dizziness, as
well as a most agreeable arrangement for
promoting comfort while at work. A wet
cloth is perhaps as good, but the wisp of
moist grass is always at hand, and if ap-
propriated as suggested, will work Won

The u hlte Mans Feet.

Edward Il. Cheever, in the May
number of The Naturalist, gives a most
interesting paper on the Indians of Cal
ifornia," in which we find the following
passage "In tracking white men, they
(the lndians) cannot make mistakes. The
white mans foot is deformed, made so by
the shape of his boots and shoes, and even
when barefooted, his toes are turned in
ward The Indians foot, never having
been compressed, has the toes naturally
formed and straight, as our fingers are,
and he can even use them to
hold arrows when he is making
them. When ne walks, therefore,
each toe leaves its imprint in the
dust or sand, the imprint of the little toe
being as straight, perfect and distinct as
the largest" ""- %
This paragraph might be made the text
for an article. We wish we knew of some
plausible reason why Indians deserve bet
ter formed feet than white people, but we
do not N0doubti IL is>a matter of acci-
