From actual experiment it has
been found that the droppings from
four Brahmas for one night weighed
in one case exactly l ID, and IN
another more than T lb., an average
of nearly four ounces each bird. BY
drying. this as reduced to NO,
quite u ounces. Other breeds make
less but, allowing only l ounce per
bird daily of dry. dung; fifty fowls
will make, in their roosting house
alone, 10 cwt. per annum OF the
best manure in the world, Hence
an acre of poultry will make n ore
than enough manure for acre ot
land, cwt. of guano being the usuaI
quantity per acre, and poultry man
ure being even richer than gUnno IL
ammonia and fertiliz ng salts. Nc
other stock viii give an equal re-
turn in this way and these figures
demand careful attention from the
large farmer. The manure, before
using, should be mixed with Twice
its bulk of earth, and then allowed
to stand in heap, covered with a
few inches of earth till decomposed
throughout, when it makes the very
best manure which can be had.

Benefits Of Fenlalo Society.

It is better for you, says Thackery,
to pass an evening in a lady's draw
ing room, even though the conyersa-
ton be slow, and you know the
girIs songs by heart, than in a cub,
tavern or in the pit of theatre.
All the amusements CT youth to
which virtuous women are not ad-
mitted, rely on 1T. are deleterious IL
their nature. All men who avoid
female society have dull perceptions,
and are stupid, or have gross tastes,
and revolt against what is pure.
Your club swaggers, who are sucking
the butt of billiard cues all night,
call female -oeiety insipid. Poetry
is insipid to a yokel beauty has no
charm for blind man music does
not please a poor beast who does
not know one tune from another I
protest l can sit for whole night
talking to well regulated, kindly
woman about her girl coming cut.
or her boy at Eaton, and liking the
evenings S entertainment. One great
benefit man may derive from a
woman's society is that he Is bound
to be respectful to them. The habit
Is of great good TO your moral man,
depend upon it. Our education
makes us the most eminently selfish
Hen in the world We fight for
ourselves. we push and yawn for our
selves, we light our pipes, and say we
won't go out we prefer ourselves
and our ease the greatest good
that comes to man from a won ans
society Is, that he has to think OF
somebody but himself-somebody
to whom he is bound to be constant
ly attentive and respectful.

SpolIing-Horses' Feet.

1t is almost impossible to get a
horse shod without having the frogs
cut away All veterinary surgeons.
all horse men, all leading black
smiths, agree that the frog should
not be pared one particle-hot even
trimmed. No matter how pliable
and soft the frog is, cut it away
smooth on all sides, and in two days
it will be bright and hard rs a chip.
You might as well cut off all the
leaves of trees and expect them to
flourish as to pare away the frog and
have healthy foot. The rough,
spongy part of the frog is to the
foot what leaves are to the trees
the lungs
Never have a red hot shoe put up-
on the foot to burn it level. ii you
can find blacksmith that is me-
chauic enough to level the foot with
out red-hot iron, employ him. The
burning process deadens the hoof
and tends to contract it. / you DC
not think so, try the red-hot poker
On your finger-nail, and see how il
viii affect the growth of that.
There are many other importants
points IN shoeiDg horses, but these
two are of more importance thar
all the rest, level to the apprehen
sion of men not skilled in bolses

The Number of Horses

In England there are 100000 of
draft and pleasure horses, besides
100, 600 agricultural horses. English
history records that out of every 30
Its from thoroughbred stock, buf
one proves extra fast. A horse
whose pedigree is eight generations
in duration, without any base adj
mixture, is considered thorough
bred.
The number of horses in Russia, is
greater, in proportion to the popu-
lation, than it is in the greatest
horse region of this country, which
is Kentucky. Russia has one horse
to every three persons, while Ken
tucky has one lorse to about four
and a half of its population.
Historical records show that up
to 1892, there were no horses in
New England and their in'roduc-
ton into New Netherlands, now \.
Y.-occurred during the admins
tration of Gov Won Twiller, IN 1888
80. Trum bulls History of Con-
necticut," mentions the horse as
accompanying emigrants from Mas
sachusetts to that State, October,
1886. The first horse seen in
Canada was brought to that coun-
Try from France, in ship which
arrived at Tadoussac, June 20, l647.
It Is estimated that there are now
in this country s 600. 600 of horses,
valued at between two and three
thousand millions dollars, sum
ample to pay the national debt.
The highest price recorded as actu-
ally paid for any one horse was
$75, 600, though it is said that $50,
600 would not have bought Gladia-
teur at his meridian. In this coun
try Lexington sold for $4,000. and
one of his colts has since sold for
$4,000, while $50 900 was refused
for another Mambrino Pilot has
tempted the offer of $4,000 without
succs IS, and Hambletonian, whose
death at an advanced age was re-
Gently ann unced, commanded
100000 a short time before. Dex
ter brought $4,000. "There are

The steam plow has always teon
favorably received in Louisiana. Mr
J.. Lawrence, one OF the most prac-
acal and progressive planters of
that State, has recently addressed n
long letter to the Department OF
Agriculture, giving the results OF
experiments with tins plow, and the
conclusions which they have led him
to adopt. AIr Lawrence claims the
advantages. OF the steam plow to be
the little tiE>e consumed in getting
IN the crop the case with which
deep plowing and subsoiling is per-
formed, and which gives an increased
production, and the extent of land
that can be cultivated There is a
very fair prospect that these plows,
though not answering all the re-
quirements of their more sanguine
friends, viii come into more general
use in America for the breaking up
of Level land, and especially Of the
vast unobstructed surfaces of the
Western prairies. In England,
companies have been formed which
transport these plo8s from farm to
farm by contract with the farmers.

George Brown wanted to 60 some /
where. and his mother was not will
ling. He tried to argue the matter,
When that would not do, he spoke
roughly, and went off. slamming the
door behind him.
Instead of saving, I should really
ike to go, but if you cannot give
your consent, dear mother, I will
try to do my best to be content TO
to stay;" instead of saying and feel
/ ing so, he behaved in the way In
which have described, as too many
boys do. Georgei was fourteen, and
with fourteen years experience OF
one of the best mothers, one would
have thought better of him. But
he was boy. What can you ex-
! peet OF boYs?- So say some people.
Stop hear more. Tnat night
George found thorns on bis Tillovl
He could not fix any way to go to
sleep on. He turned and tossed,
and he shook and patted 1t, but not
a wink of sleep for him. The thorns
kept pricking. They were the an
CRY words he spoke to his mother.
" Ny dear mother, who deserves
nothing but kindness and love and
obedience from me, he said to him-
self. "I can never do enough for
her yet how have behaved, her

He would ask her to forgive him
in the morning. But suppose some
thing should happen before morning.
He would ask her nOw-tonight-
this moment. George crept out OF
bed, and went softly to his mothers
room
George she said, ''is that you
are you sick p for mothers, you
know, sleep with one eye and ear
open, especially when the fathers are
away, as Georges father was.
Dear mother, he said, kneeling
at the bedside, Il could not sleeT
n for thinking of my rude words to you
stto-day. Forgive me, mother, my
dear, good, precious mother, and
- may God help me never to behave
! so again"
& She clasped The penitent boy ii
her arms and kissed his warm cheek
Il George is big man now, but he
says that kiss was the sweetest mo-
Il ment of his life. His strong, healthy
i impetus nature became tempered by
la gen1eness of spirit. It softened
: his roughness, sweetened his temper
and helped him on to true and no
bic Christian manhood.

Word about Dress.

We are glad to know that ourlady
friends may consider themselves
wei dressed in pretty suit of some
simple material, which the dust of
tie street viii not ipjure, and which
can be restored to its original beauty
by the laundress. We are glad to
find that they will not offend Dame
Fashion by preferring simple cos
tune of some feecy material to be
ruffled, be-farbelowed, heavy silk or
poplin. The old adage of "beanty
unadorned" is truer than most bellies
think, especially in the summer.
There is something delightfully."- cool
and refreshing to the eye in a simple
white dress, with perhaps few pret-
sty bows Of bright ribbon to heighten
Its effect, or dainty cambric, scat
tered over with miniature violets or
rose buds. something SO in harmo-
ny with the beauty and simplicity of
nature that it is often far more at
tractive than even the elaborate at
tire of the ball room. Such dress
makes a plain woman attractive, and
a pretty girl charming.

Government Of Children.

We do not say anything very orig
inal when we say that the chief OBJ
iect in the government Of children
should be to teach child to govern
himself. We know that most peo-
pie think differently, or rather they
believe differently. One cannot Dig
Nifty their mental processes with the
name of thinking. Most people be-
lieve, or at least feel, that the bust
ness they have IN hand in the gov
eminent of children is to conform
the child's will to their own. What
is falsely called family government
is In most families a selfish struggle
between TIE wilfulness of the parent
and the wilfulness of the child-a
struggle between The strong and the
weak-in which the weak goes down.
/" But have / not a right to be
obeyed ? asks some indignant par
ent who has read thus far. We an
sVer that your very question betrays
the selfishness of your demand. You
are thinking of your tight, and not
of the child's good. Half your fail
ure lies lust there And If you in
sist on a categorical answer to your
question in regard to your right, we
answer with more indignation than
YOU asked it, that you have no right
10 exact obedience unless You exact
The obedience for The ehild's good
instead of for your pleasure. Mark,
we do not say that the child, except
in fiagrant cases, has a right to re-
fuse obedience. The child has no
right to Judge of your motives or OF
your wisdom But you have no gen
eral right to exercise your authority
for the mere sake of being obeyed.
For, let US repeat, the chief object
of family government should be to
teach child to do without your
authority.
Mr.. Beecher has said, II his quaint
way, that there is jast as much fami-
/ ly government now as there was for
rnerly, but that more of it is III the
hands of the children, which IS a
matter not to be regretted. The
+ shoot must one day be severed from
/ the parent stem; tie sooner it gets
roots enough to live by itself the bet
ter. If You have a child capable oi
/ governing himself at fifteen, rejoice
f. Throw tae reins upon his neck, ano
let him 20 his gait. Self-goverE
ment is only learned by exercise
But If YOU wall J., child IN, and CIR
cumvent him always hy the res
traints Of your own viii, how shal
he ever learn TO stand alone?
We have seen a pine-tree TIA
grew tall and slender in a denst
forest, bolstered on very hand b.
4 its fellows, so that il did not need I,
acquire harJness Of fibre. And theI
when road was cut through tn
forest, we have seen that self-samr
slender, supple, upright tree lef
standing without support upon on
side. And at the first wind it ben
Itself down across the road, maxim
itself into u bow from sheer lack q
strength to stand up. And we hay
I seen young men checked and gov
elned like infants-nev allowe'
TO stand upon their own responsible
ity We have often seen these weal
. ly-upright young men, when lei
without the suppoat OF authority
fall from lack of moral stamina
They had never learned to stan
alone. Government ia the famil
should be administered like brand
in the family-it is to be reserve
I for cases Of necessity.
