horse on the track, and did it squarely and
fairly. The stock of such an animal must be
valuable for more reasons than one.-IFarm-

DUCKS FOR POTATO BUGS.

The usefulness of ducks in DESTROYING
inrects and vermin on plants is known by
all who have kept them. 1t is now sus-
gested that they are a good antidoto for
the potato bug, but the trouble is that
the capacity of duck is limited, and the
bugs cannot be persuaded to desist from
their ravages until the ducks are ready to
devOur them. In a small way, however,
the ducks are doubtless valuable. A gen
tleman Of Piqua, Ohio, reports that be
put pair of Muscovvs into his potato
pat h, which was literally swarning with
the bugs. The ducks went at them with
such avidity that the latter were soon
exterminated. and the patch has not since
been troubled with them. The ducks
did not appear to suffer any III effects
from the bugs and were not very slow in
taking in all they could discover.

FARM LND HOUSEHOLD.
BREAKING HORSES.


There is nothing more unreasonable or
unw;se-we are almost tempted to say
inhuman, than the old method of treat
ing horses namely, of allowing them
to run wild pntil certain age, and then
having aviolent conflict with them for the
mastery. On this subject well known
hoiseman offers the following sensible
remarks:
81 am glad to see that the practice of
hreaking horses is growing into disuse
Gentle your horses and acqua;nt them
with he duties which they viii have 10
perform, but never break them Accustom
them, from their earliest cot-hood, to be
handed; pet them until they enjoy your
society in fact. win their love by kind
ness Let them learn what a halter Is
in manucr which viii not shock or
ffighten them. Teach them TO put up
with straps and buckles, and, when old
enough, have them daily bear or drag
some light load but do it all kindly,
and gradually lead them on in their edu-
cation, 20 that Wien the proper time
comes, they can be saddied or harnessed
with neither risk nor trouble. But to
throw the whole hurden nf , roo ,,.,rs,
education upon them in about the same
number of days, and to conquer the
poor, trembling, frightened animals by
brute force, is inhuman and unreasonable
Let us learn and teach our children to
treat the animals, given us for our PER-
vice by our Master, in manner worthy
of human beings
