The Unruly Member.

The tongue is called in the Bi-
bic "an unruly member" Our
own experience accords perfectly
with the statement, and the OBJ
scrvations on the tongues Of 9TH
ers have satisfied Us of the fact.
We think the following rules, if
carefully followed, will be found
of great use, in tanning that which
has not yet been perfectly tanned ::
l. Mover use your tongue in
speaking anything but truth. The
God Of truth who made the tongue,
did not intend it for any other use.
It will not work we'll in faischood,
it will run in such inconsistencies
as to detect itself. To use the or
gan for publishing falschood is as
incongruous as the use of the eye
for hearing or the car for smell
ing.
2. Do not use your tongue too
much. 1t is kind Of waStc-gatc
to le:. off the thoughts as they COL
lcct and expand the mind; but if
the waste-gate is always open, the
water will soon run shallow
Mary people use their tongues too
much. Shut the gate, and let
streams Of thought flow in till the
mind is full, and then You may let
off with some effect.
3. Never let the stream of pas
sion move the tongue. Some pco-
pie when they are about to put
this member in motion hoist the
wrong gate-they let out passion
instead Of reason. The tongue,
then, makes q great noise, disturbs
the quiet OF the neighbors, ex-
hausts the persons strength, but
does no good. The whirlwind has
ceased, but what is the benefit?
4. Look into the pond, and see
if there is water enough to move
the wheel to any purpose, before
you open the gate; or, plainly,
think before you speak.
5. Never put your tongue in mo-
tion while your respondent has
his in motion. The two streams
will meet, and the reaction will be
so great the words of neither will
reach the other, but come back in
a binding sprinkle upon himself:
6. See that your tongue is hung
true before using it. Some tongues
we have observed are 50 hung that
they sometimes eQuivoca!c con-
siderably. Let the owners of such
turn the screw of conscience until
the tongue moves true.
I. Expect that others will use
their tongues for what you do
yours. Some claim the privilege
of reporting all the news, and
charge others not to do so. Your
neighbor will not allow you to
monopolize the business. If You
have anything to be kept q secret,
keep it to yourself,

HoRsE-BREAKING AND HoRsE-sENsE.-
A horses sense is good common sense.
Many q man does not know half so
much about some things as horse,
and there is great difference in horses.
The horse is not naturally suspicious,
but he is timid when young. He learns
very soon what his weapons are-teeth
and heels-and in what his security
ies-fight. His boldness and ssthe
glory of his nostrils'' come when che
rejoices in his strength" With his age
comes the knowledge of his powers.
and if he has never been mastered
never made to yield to any will but his
own-if he is to be made useful. the
struggle must come sooner OF later. and
nan's-will or horse-will must triumph.
We think it is best to begin quite young
With colts to control them. So advise

mare, and to do it after feeding it car

thing he can do, provided he
IS not frightened, and would as Lief be

pleasantest thing he can do, provided he
lis not frightened, and would as Lief be
led as to run loose if the curtailment OF
his freedom is made up by sweets or car
rots. The sense of smell in horses is
very acute, and if they are suspicious OF
anything, they always approach 1t eau
tiously and smell Of it. They should
be INDUCED in this, and harness, saddle,
ETC., should all be investigated by the
nose as well as by the eye, before
more intimate acquaintance is forced
upon the horse. A horse-ring Of 40 to
80 feet diameter is one of the greatest
aids horse trainer can have. In this
horse too restive and spirited to take
lesson may be tired out, SO as to be
very docile, and tired horse is much
more susceptible to both favors and in
structions, than one full of elm, and
fire and play. There are few very
simple common sense rules which, If
followed, will commend themselves to
the horse as well asthe trainers viz.:s
1st.-Always feel kindly towards a
horse, no matter what he does to you,
aud consequently never show "temper. y
Remember the horse knows instinctively
how you feel.
2d.-Neyer go near horse if you are
afraid of him, the horse will know it and
take advantage of it, before you ac-
knowledge'it yourself.
3d.-Never undertake anything with a
horse that you do not kno,o you can
carry out.
4th.-"Make haste slo,oly." teaching
the animal what you want of him, as a
child learns its A-B-C-s, one letter at n
time, being sure that he knows each
simple thing before you attempt to
teach another; and repeat lessons often.
5th.-Reward each effort to do as you
wish, whether he means it or does it ac-
cidentally. 2ifTEr s.g.
6th.--Be sure that it is your will and
not his that conquers every time.
Following these rules you may make
horse do almost anything, If he has
not been spoiled before you get him.

LIGHT BISCUIT. Boil and then peel 2
potatoes, mash fine, add "a cup of flour,
mix well, then pour on 2 cups boiling
water, keep it as warm as new milk or
about 9Oo, for 13 hours: it will keep
good several days. This preparation
we will call No. 1. No. 2. is made by
putting cup Of buttermilk, "a teaspoon
full each of sugar, and salt and Il cup
of No. 1. into bowl letting it stand one
night, or u hours before it is used.
On the same evening that No. 2. is
made. prepare No. 8. thus: Pnt into a
bowl tablespoonful new milk, a piece
cf butter as large as a walnut, 3 table
spoonfuls of -four, and tablespoonfuls
of No. 1. Let this stand where it will
be hardly luke warm until the next
morning. When the biscuit are to be
made, stir Nos. 2 and 3 together, add
-four enough to make a very stiff batter,
then stir in one even spoonful of fine
saleratus mixed in dry flour. When
well incorporated, knead into smooth
dough, but not too stiff, roll out, cut into
form and bake 80 minutes. The bis
cult will be soft, light and sweet, if made
of sweet flour, even if it is not of the
very first quality.

MORE ON THE BREAD QUESTION
nCook handful of hops in half gal
lon Of water, until it is reduced to about
half; pass the liquor through a sieve
and turn it while hot upon enough flour
to make a thick porridge, and when
nearly cool, add pint of brewers or
other yeast, and set the vessel in a warm
place until it rises. This yeast will be
lit TO use in about - hours. 1t should

pint of this yeast to 10fbs. of flour, and
with water and salt make stiff dough
which should be wellkneaded on O mould

lin warm place in winter) or until it
IS well raised. Then take pieces of the
dough of the size of an egg and roll into
biscuit and place them i'll pan SO close
that they will touch one another; let

then place them in the oven. If these
conditions are observed, with good
-four, you will bave light and spongy
bread, and never sour even when it has
raised a little too much. If the flour is
not good, still good bread may be made
by using milk instead of water. In
making new yeast, it is well to wash
out the jug in order to avoid sourness.
If preferred, the bread may be made
into larger loaves."

c1F1c.-Col. John S. Loomis, the Land
Commissioner of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, is inaugurating measures for
establishing comprehensive system of
tree culture in the prairie region OF the
Red River Valley and Dakota, which are
traversed by the hneTof the road.
He is now in consultation with gentle
men who have made the subject of tree
culture in our climate a specially, and
will avail himself of the best experience
in establishing nurseries of trees for the
benefit of settlers, and in supplying
them with seeds best adapted to prac-
teal uses. This is feature of the
grand and complete scheme of colonial
ton whicn is being perfected by Col
Loomis, of the utmost Importance. The
one objection to the prairie region
crossed by the Northern Pacific after it
enters the Red River valley is its COM
parative destitution' of timber. This
disadvantage, however, is reduced to the
minimum by the extraordinary facilities
possessed by the Northern Pacific for
supplying the region along its route
with lumber and fuel from the immense
belt of timber and pine forests which it
crosses between Lake Superior and Crow
Wing River. The settler is thus certain
of cheap and abundant supply of the
lumber required for building and fences;
but he still wants trees not only for an
ornament and shelter, but to emancipate
him from dependence on q distant
though very accessible source of sup
ply. This want the company proposes
to take measures to supply on any scale
demanded by the requirements of set
tlement. This system of tree planting
on all the settled lands of that company,
if carried out for few years, will soon
clothe the naked plains of the Red
River Valley and Dakota with new
beauty, and add immensely to the de-
sirableness and value of the lands them
selves.-iSt. Paul Press. ci<fir

ORCHARD AND NURsERY.-Now is the
proper season for planting all kinds OF
hardy deciduous trees and shrubs,
except stone fruits. The old axioms
have to be repeated. Plant trees; don't
buy Of pedlers, but of reliable nursery
men; and prepare the soil we'll. If the
site for an orchard is damp it must be
drained. Manure, plow and subsoil.
Some one has remarked that he wonld
''in setting out an orcnard, however
large, make but one hole and that
would be over the whole orchard"-
meaning there by that the whole soil
should be well prepared. Nurserymen
should give equal care in setting them.
The hole should be abundantly large to
receive the roots; prune all mangled
roots with q smoothe cut from below
outward and shorten in the top from
one third to one half. Set carefully,
putting the best soil around the roots
and work it well in among them, letting
the tree be on very slight mound so as
TO allow for settling to the general level.
Carefully label everything, and besides
make record or map so that the name
may be ascertained should the label be
lost. Planting may commence as soon
rs the leaves begin to fall freely. 1t is
some times necessary to remove good
sized trees, in which case great care
must be taken to get up all the roots
possible and it is well to set the tree
in the same position with reference to
the points of the compass, as it stood be-
fore.
