Growth 0fa HOrse's Bones.

We extract the following from the
Irish Sportsman and Farmer. "With
respect to the growth of horses, so far
as regards height, it generally discon-
tinues between three and four years
old. After three years cid the limbs
very seldom become longer, but the
carcase increases in depth between the
top of the withers and that portion of
the chest Immediately beneath it. Pro-
lessor Ferguson some years ago discov-
cred that the measure of the fore-limb
of three-year-old colt or FLY, from
the centre of the pastern joint, is the
measure of that portion of the adult
animal between the centre of the elbow
joint and the top of the wither. Thus,
it is wanted to know what increased
height three-year-old will attain when
he or she shall have reached maturity.
it is only necessary to ascertain how
much greater the distance is between
the elbow joint and the top of the
withers. The difference between these
two measurements will nearly exactly
indicate the maxium height the animal
will attain in the ordinary course of
nature, on arriving at maturity. This
rule has for some time been recognized
in the cavalry of the English and Con-
tinental armies as almost infailible.
Bones are continually, though slowly,
changing their structure; but
as to their length, the bones
of horses generally discontinue their
elongation at about between four aud
four and half years old. With respect
to substance and structure, they are
not not quite developed until the ami
NAL is about five years old" There is
also in the same paper letter from q
Veterinary Student" of which the an
nexed is portion, but which hardly
display so much practical knowledge:
g! perceived a paragraph, signed Row
ell, condemning the use of bearing
reins, and, as I fully concur with the
views of the writer on the subject, you
will perhaps allow me to observe that
he has omitted in his List of diseases,
vices, etc., consequent upon the con-
tinued used of the bearing-rein, one
very common and at the same time
rather dangerous affection, viz: poll
evil. When the head of the animal is
elevated for length Of time, the mus
Giles of the neck-especially the long
issimus dorsi being placed in an abnor-
NAL position, that is, too long contract
ed, become irritated, and a certain
amount Of inflammationis set up, which
ends in the formation of an abscess,
constituting the so-called poll-evil
and, owing to its proximity to the spin
al cord, there is danger of the pus bur-
rowing in on the cord, causing paraly-
sis and death. Then, in the operations
for this disease, it is almost impossible
to perform successfully unless CONVEX.

Spring Wheat and the Chtnch Buu.
The comparatively high price of
wheat may lead farmers to SOW large
quantities Of this grain the coming
spring, right in tho face of threatening
danger from the ravages of the chinch
bug in regions SO infested. 1t is true,
early sowing and early ripening may
prevent the worst consequences, but it
is not to be relied upon with certainty.
Early sowing ON well-pulverized soil,
seeded with not less than one and half
bushels per acre, of plump, healthy
grain, placed within half an inch of the
surface of the ground, are prerequis
tiles to success.
It has been hoped that the severity
of the winter would tend to lessen the
number of bugs the coming year, but
this does not follow as natural con-
sequence. It is denied by entomology
lists that the chinch bug winters above
the ground in cornsta1ks, but our OBJ
servation is different, for we have found
them alive and apparently healthy in
the win ter under the blades and among
the husks. Our observation, too, is
that the bugs do more damage to wheat
sown on corn-stalk ground than upon
stubble ground plowed in the fall
Western R4ral.

FARM GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Cutting Seed Potatoes.
From tho Ohio Farmer.


AT least one-half Of the labor of out
ting potatoes may be saved by using a
common tin apple. quarterer, which any
timer will make for thirty cents. Set
the qnarterer permanently on thick
piece of plank six inches square, 50
that the edges ofthe pillow will be upper
most. In cutting into quarters only,
place the eye end of the potato on the
centre OF the quarterer, and push the
potato down 80 rs to cut through the
stem of the potato; this will give each
piece an equal share of eyes. If small
or pieces are desired cut as nearly
through rs possible and have the quar-
tiers hold together, and then draw up
the potato and cut across the quarters
on one side of the wings of the quarter
or into eight, twelve, sixteen, or more
pieces, as wanted; the pieces toward
the stem end being cut the largest.
In cutting potatoes worth from one
to twenty dollars per pound, and where
from three to five pecks arc used to
seed IN acre, we cut potatoes into quar-
tors or eighths lengthwise, and then
subdivide the eyes into from two to
eight pieces, giving each eye as nearly
as possible an equal share of the pota.
to. These very small pieces seem to
produce rs we'll Us large ones, if the
ground is not too dry while they are
starting. Three to five bushels of seed
per acre is plenty.
