HnFFt-

The driver who fights his horses has not
got through the first lesson in the manage
ment of these animals. Some strike their
horses In a fit of anger others beat them
as a Punishment for what they conceive to
be sinful acts on the part of the horse.
Now, the fact is, the horse never dose
wrong on purpose. In this respect he is
better than most men. If he refuses to
pail it is the fault of education, and if he
runs away and kicks things to pieces, it is
because he is frightened. Men when they
are scared do some very foolish things. and
they are excused, but no allowance is made
for the runaway horse. He is kicked,
cufed and beat, as if what was done was
on puapose to hurt somebody, and not in
consequence of supposed danger. which
the poor animal was trying to fee from.
Horses never kick without a motive.
They use their heels for defense, and the
first kick at the traces is given to ward off
what TO them seems danger. No horse
ever kicked for any other purpose. They
cherish no ill-feeling against any one, and
always do, as far as they know, what is
right.
All horses can be educated to do what
ever the driver wishes. They obey cheer
fully and without grumbling. even though
put to rest with half rations in a cold, filthy,
muddy stable. A horse can easily be
taught to know the harness will not hurt
him. Then lie will not kick at it and
run away.
He is also easily taught to pull by the
traces or by the halter-strap. If yon want
him to pull well on the halter, all you
have to do is to hitch him with something
he can easily break. and he will soon learn
to pull back with such force that no briIel
will hold him. If YOU want him to pull
by the traces. give him a light load until
he learns to move it. and he will soon pull
his best at heavy loads.
Hores balk or pulljust as they are taught.
1t does not matter which end of a horse
you fasten the weight to. They will balk
as readily when hitched by the traces. if
improperly trained, as when hitched by
tie halter and they will pull back as
faithfully by the halter. if trained to do $50,
as they pull forward, when hitehed by the
traces to Il wagon.
1t is an easy matter to teach a horse to
refuse to pull at either the halter or traces,
and it is equally as easy to teach him to pull
by the same means. If those who drive
horses would keep this fact in view. and
keep their temper out of view, they would
never be guilty of the shamful act of
beating their team in a mud-hole or on
the hillside.

The Manure Question,

Some time ago | observed an inquiry in
your paper, whether it is best to put barn
yard manure on tho land as fast as it is
made, or to compost it and let it lie in the
yard until it is decomposed. [ will en-
deavor to answer the inquiry as briefly as
possible and | hope satisfactorily.
An experience of thirty years in the
use of fertilizers of every variety, and a
careful observation of the result of an in
finite number of experiments with farm
yard manure especially, has satisfied me,
rs it will every one who will carefully ex-
pertinent and closely observe the results as
l have done, that there is no way in which
the manure from stables can be made so
profitable as to apply it on the surface of
grass-lands in an entirely decompOsed state
or as near as practicable just as it comes
from the stable.
As it is impra 2ticable to haul it daily,
at all seasons of the year, direct from the
stable to the field, | construct a manure
house. into which the manure is daily de-
posted. The object Of the yard being
only for summing and exercising the ami
mails stabbed. nothing is fed in the yard,
neither is any straw or cornstalks thrown
into the yard. The former, not needed
for bedding the stock stabbed, is hauled
directly to some grass field and evenly
spread on the surface. The stocks of In
dian corn l nave topped, and Il e top stalks
only are hauled from the field for feeding.
These are chopped, moistened and mixed
with ground feed, and are equally well
adapted to feeding horses, cows, or fatten-
ing cattle. The butts of tn = stalks l chop
off at the surface of the ground during the
winter, and lay them in the furrow and
pillow them in.
As every farmer requires a portion of
manure every year in u fine and decom-
posed state. for raising garden vegetables,
l provide for that by having a place for
composing all the refuse of the farm not
provided for as above. To this | add as
mnch stable as is required to pro-
luce the desired quantity of compost.
l nave long since satisfied myself that it
was bad economy to decompose the ma
nure of the farm in open yards, and also
that it would not pay to conduct the wash
ings from a yard into a %cistern. from which
it was to be carted and applied to the
land in a liquid state.
| make c%isterns in the ground for col
Letting the urine from the stables. which
urin | dilute by turning into it the rain
water from the roof. and run it into : II adj
jacent vegetable and fruit garden, and APP
ply it in a dilute liquid state, using it in
stead of pure water for watering the crops
in drought
If any of your correspondents can sug-
gcst a better mode | shall be glad to hear
from them.-Tclegroph.
