HORSE THAT DoN'T LIE Down.

HORSE THAT DoN'T LIE Down.
Mr. James w. Riley, of Troy,
Ohio, writes 10 the Farm Jo1trnal:-
Some time ago read an account
of a msre owned in Illinois, which
was eleven years old, and that
worked every day, but never lay

up immediately. She WAS % years

day Of last April she foaleG a nice
colt. She is again with foaI by the
fine Mohawk horse here, for the
chance of which colt | have been

Soaking Seed in Dry Time.

Rural Home says: "This is prac.
ticed to a considerable extent, but
We have observed that it is risky
operation unless particular attention
is paid to putting the soil 10 suita-
BILE condition. A soaked seed 10
dry lumpy soil is almost sure to per.
, rish if the drought is prolonged.
The Cry earth and The air 10 the
crevices around the grain extract
the moisture before the roots torn
and begiu 10 absorb ioOd from the
soil. But if the soil is we'll pulver-
lied, so that It's natural condition is
somewhat moist, it will usually live.
Those who endeavor to hasten
growth by soaking the seed previ-
Gus to planting, should take care
TO use roller and harrow without
stint"

SORE SHoULDERs.-A CORES
pendent of the Canada Farmer
writes relative to sore or CALLED
shoulders of horses: "Wash
them we'll every night and morn
ing with a strong solution of oak
bark, made by boiling the bark
in water, then rub them well
with linseed oil. Anoint them
ever night and morning with a
salve made of three parts of lin
seedoil and one quart quick
lime" To make their shout
ders tough, wash the shoulder
well twice a day for week be-
fore working with the oak bark
solution. Best and cheapest !:
keep a bottle Of solution of al
um and whiskey.

THE CANADIAN THISTLE AT
HoME.-The Toronto Null says
During a recent ride through one
of our best agricultural districts,
we were astonished and grieved to
see how many fine farms were
thoroughly seeded down to the
Canada thistle. We passed field
after field of oats, peas and wheat,
IRON oIe-quarter to one-thlrd OF
which were thistles gone to seed
The air was full Of thistlc.downs,
which were being waited by the
zephyrs here, there and every
where. To crown all, hogs were
industriouSIy roofing up the high
way sides, and making seed beds
for the thistles. The evil is SO
widespread that it is too large a
work for legislation to accomplish
now. Had we begun earlier, leg
islation might have done some
thing for us. Prevention is not
only better than cure but it is ea-
sier.

Valuable HintS.-Salt stimu-
lates digestion. Onions are the
best vegetable known to correct
bad blood. Ice cream produces
acute dyspepsia in consumptive
patients. Cracked wheat, boil
ed or cooked as rice, is a good
diet for dyspeptics. Ice held
in the mouth will quench thirst
in cholera, cholera morbus and
fever.

A REMEDY FOR DYsENTERY.-The
following simple remedy has been
known to cure the most obstinate
and malignant forms Of dysentery,
when all the ordinary methods were
int fsc:ual. Take hot water, one
fourth Of a pint; vinegar, half pint;
mix; then continue to add common
salt as long as it will be dissolved
stirring and irritating it freely and
frequently.

Care of the Ewes.

Multitudes of men and wo-
man have made their eyes weak
for life by the too free use Of the
eyesight, reading small print and
doing fine sewing. In view of
these things,it is we'll to observe
the following rules in the use of
the eyes:
Avoid all sudden changes be-
tN cen light and darkness.
Never read by twilight on a
very cloudy day.
Never sleep SO that on
waking the eyes shall open on
the light of the window.
Do not use the eyesight by
light SO scant that it requires an
effort to discriminate.
Never read or sew directly in
front ofthe light ofthe window
or door.
1t is best to have light fall
from above, obliquely over the
left shoulder.
Too much light creates glare
and pain and confuses the sight.
The moment you are sensible
Of an effort to distinguish, that
moment stop and talk, walk, OF
ride.
As the sky is blue and the
earth green, it would seem that
the ceiling should be a BLUSH
tinge, the carpet green, and the
walls of some mellow tint.
/ The moment you are instinc-
lively prompted to rub the eyes,
that moment cease useing them,
If the eyelids are glued to-
gather Oh waking, do not forci-
bly, open them, but apply the
saliva with the finger, and then
wash your face and hands with
warm water.

The following letter from one of the leading
confederates of the south explains itself, and
perhaps will not be very reassuring to Mr.. Gree
ley's republican friends:

ton Clipper.
"Dedr Colonel: Yours of the 18th inst. reached
this city during nv absence. Hence the delay
in answering it. You inquiry as to whether the
democratic party can expect any recognition
from Horace Greeley, its lifelong enemy, in case
of his election, is a most natural and important
one, and one which has given me much con-
Germ. You accompany this inquiry with two re-
marks:
First, that you had heard it claimed that in
conversation with me Greeley had minated
that ifelected he would recognize in his appoint
ments the claims Of the democratic party upon
him.
Secondly, that believing that the contest is
now as to who shall control the president you
are under the conviction that lift is made public
that the democracy would have prominence in
that respect, or at least an equal showing with
the republicans, it would enable all Straight
outs to cease opposition and rally to his sup
port
81 consider the unity of democrats in Georgia
OF such overshadowing consequence now that
give you, as requested, the substance of Mr.
Greeley's remarks, with the hope that the good
results you anticipate may to some extent be
realized.
"ln company with several prominent south
ern gentlemen l met Mr.. Greeley, at the request
of several democratic friends and stated to him
the fact that it was Of great moment to demo-
Gratis, and especially to the southern people, to
know what class of councillors he would have
about him if elected. His reply was, in effect,
this: 1 am given credit for having some COM
mon sense. [ should not consider myself enti-
tied to this credit if should turn my back upon
majority of the men who had elected me-
can now see no objection to making this public,
as he has himself in recent speech given pub
licity to the same idea. l confess this conversa-
ton had some effect in allaying my opposition
to Mr. Greeley, and, in connection with other
considerations, which shall have the honor of
submitting to your people in a speech which 1
have agreed to make on the first Tuesday in
September, have decided me to give him my
support. Very respectfully, yours,
~. B. GORDON"
"The Albany (Ga.) Central City publishes the
foregoing, and says: AS Mr.. Greeley now pub
licy pledges himself to give the democra tic
party an equal showing in his cabinet, and
promises all that we could now reasonably ex-
pect, we shall withdraw our opposition"

Whether or not the candidacy Of the great
agriculturist has anything TO do with it, there
are symptoms of mutiry in the vegetable king
dom which, unless crushed out, may grow TO a
dangerous height. 1t is not very long since a
barrel of buckwheat -four exploded, fatally in
juring bystander; soon after baby was ter
ribly burned by the bursting ola baked potatoe,
and in Minnesota an apple pie was violently
rent in fragments by some internal energy killing
the young woman who took it from the oven.
These were premature and sporadic but signi6-
cant manifestations of the deadly purposes cher.
ished by the vegetable world beneath a placid
exterior; as the season advanced the
attacks of the malignant vegetables have
been more insidious, but more numerous also.
Many less conspicuous persons than Gratz
Brown have succumbed 10 the seductive bland
ishments of cherries, cucumbers, halfripe and
oyer-ripe peaches, and other vegetable assassins,
and not all have escaped so well as the candidate
for the vice presidency. In California the veg
etable rebellion has broken out into open war.
The first attack was made in Santa Barbara, by
a portly and athletic watermelon, upon one
James NJ. Short, farmer of that place. Mr..
Short was working on a side hill, when the
watermelon, weighing eighty-six pounds, broke
loose from the vine and started for him. The
farmer saw his danger and tried TO run from
it, but the vine treacherousy caught his
feet, and the rufianly vegetable came
laundering down upon him with terri
bic speed, striking him to the earth and
rolling over his PROSTATE body. Before the
assault could be repeated by other vegetable
miscreants which were lying about awaiting
their opportunity, help arrived and Mr.. Short
was rescued, severely, but, it is hoped, not IA
tally hurt. The Californians are somewhat
uneasy since this affair, for it is feared that the
pumpkins and squashes, which there grow to a
formidable size, may become manageable.
If they should learn their power and initiate
the example of the watermelon, farming
would be a hazardous business The
attention of Mr., Greeley is respectfully in
vited to the above facts. If it is true, as some
suspect, that he is the iustgator of this vegeta-
bic kukluxism, the sooner the country is made
aware of it the better. For ourselves, we refuse
to believe it, although many circumstances con.
cur to strengthen the suspicion, but can we be
assured that if he should be elected president he
would put down this incipient revolt with a
strong hand2

IMMENSE WHEAT FARMs-Tbere are tb,

IMMENSE WHEAT FARMs.-There are three
wheat farms in the San Joaquin valley with
areas respectively of $4,000 acres, %, 600 acres
and 1900 acres. On the largest of these farms
the wheat crop this year is reputed to be equal
to an average of 40 bushels to the acre, the
yield running up on some parts of the farm to
60 bushels. The product of this farm for the
present year is l 100000 bushels. The bound
airy on one side of this farm is about seventeen
miles long. AT the season of blowing ten four
horse teams were attached to ten gang plows,
each gang having four plows-or forty horses
with as many plows were started at the same
time, the teams following in close succession
Lstoh uluuer Was VUu at murray
station, and supper at the terminus OF the
field, seventeen miles distant from the start
ing point. The teams returned on the
following day. The wheat in this immense field
was cut with twenty of the largest reapers, and
we believe has now all been threshed and put in
sacks. 1t would require over forty ships OF me-
dunn size to'transport the wheat raised on this
farm to foreign market. Even the sacks re-
CURED would make large hole in the surplus
money of most farmers. We have not the figures
touching the product of the other two farms;
but presume that the average is not much below
that of the first. There are thousands of tons
of wheat which cannot be taken out of the valley
this season, and must remain over as dead CAPT
tai; or, what's nearly as undesirable, will only
command advances at heavy rates of interest

ing the husks of the grapes FIVE times over
mere is at least one consolation to this painful
exhibit, and that is that the adulteration is 90
ing on at this fearful rate in order TO meet the
demand made upon certain districts whose
names have become famous, there is no lack of
pure grape Juice throughout the world, and that
our own country is daily enlarging the area of
its cultivation. What seems to be most neces-
sary under such circumstances is for the public
to be kept constantly well informed of the tricks
to which they are being constantly subjected,
and for the public taste to be so tutored as TO
the merits of genuine wine, that they shall in-
dignantly protest against its adulteration, even
if it be necessary to enforce it by heavy legsla-
tive penalties. In this our own wine growers
have wide field before them. But so long as

"THE NATION OF SNoBs."-Some English
men, feeling deeply Inundated by the servle
attentions bestowed on Louis Napoleon by Off
Gals and people during his attendance upon the
British scientific meetings at Brighton, have
said that the applause in the large meetings and
the crowd before the section doors occasionally
was for Stanley. But it is a self deception, l
went from individual TO individual asking what
the crowd was there for, hoping that some one
might say, ito see the discoverer of Living
stone" but not one made any other reply than
"Hemperor and Hempress." To a certain ex-
tent, no doubt, they are actuated by curiosity,
but, also, there is a certain popular admiration
for him, attributable to the way that Golden,
Bright and every other representative of the
higher Shop-keeping class of the nation, fell into
enthusiasm for the nan who gave England a
commercial free trade treaty. do not doubt
that if Judas lscariot should return to earth,
become oriental sovereign and deal with Great
Britain on free trade principles, the people of
this country would find as many excuses for his
conduct in that little affair of the thirty pieces
as they now do for the murders committed BY
Louis Napoleon on the I'd of December. But,
also, there is the snObbishness, the serviIity be-
fore royalty, which is the chief vice of this
country, and, indeed, of every monarchial coun-
try.-M. d. Conlodys Letter from England.
