Spring Work.

To the ordinary farmer the winter
days may be comparatively idle-not so
with the horticulturist; there is always
something to do-grafting, pruning,
trenching when the ground is not frozen,
or hauling and composing manure.
With the advent of March the work COM
mences in earnest. The market gardener
has already his lettuce, radish, rhubarb,
ETC., ready for market, and many of them
have their second crops ready for sale
from their hotbeds, and the various
plants we'll under way for transplanting,
as soon as the season will admit. The
owner of the simple kitchen garden,
however, will find that March is early
enough for him to have his hotbeds under
way, and TO novices we may say, do not
put in your manure too green, turn it at
least once, and if the heat is strong,
twice, before putting it into the bed.
Many persons do not start with the ma
nure moist enough. If dry, it should be
thoroughly moistened in the heap, before
the first fermentation takes place, and it
should be thereafter protected from the
effects of frost and rain.
If it has not been attended to before,
lose no time in securing bean poles and
pea brush, for success can never be at
ldlucC Wltu running DednS, uOT BdrueH
peas, without good support for them to
cling to. Whatever leaf mold, muck,
sod, mari, ETC., you may have drawn, for
compost, should be kept compactly to-
gether, turning it occasionally to induce
the decomposition.
If you have neglected to cut sclons OF
such fruits as you want to propagate
from, lose no time in doing so before the
sap starts. When cut, bury them in moist
sand until wanted. Cuttings of currants
gooseberries, etc, should be planted as
soon as the soil is in condition, and this
will apply to the cuttings and stakes o.
willow and other trees that grow from
sections Of the wood During pleasan
days in March, the lawn may be cleaned
up, and everything rendered tidy abou
the place. In fact, March is the month
for gathering together the forces that g

quent processes in horticultural art

How to drive a Horse,


You've man, see you are about to
take drive this morning and will offer
you some advice. Your horse is restive
and wants to be off before you are ready;
you may as we'll break him of this now as
at any other time, and hereafter you will
find II has been half hour well spent.
just give me the reins. while you put
your foot on the step as If to get in the
horse makes a iiiove to- 40, I tighten the
reins and say whoa. Now put your foot
on the step as if to get the horse makes
another move, hold the reins and speak
to him again. The horse is getting excited.
Pat him little on the neck and talk to
him soothingly. Put yourI foot on the
step again and repeat this process until
the horse will stand still for you to get in
and adjust yourself in your seat and tell
him to go. A few such lessons will train
him so that he will always wait for your
order before starting.
Now, as your horse has just been fed,
drive him at very gentle pace for the
first two or three miles until he warns up
and his body becomes lighter. But be-
fore you start let me show you how to
hold the reins. Take them in your left
hand, have them Of equal length from
the bit and to cross each other in your
hand the off side one resting on your
first fingers, the other on the forth finger,
the back of the hand upwards. Now, in
guiding the horse you have only to use
the wrist joint, which will direct him
either right or left as you wish. Keep
your hand steady with a gentle pressure
on the bit,-no Jerking or switching of
the reins. If more speed is wanted, take
the whip in your right hand to be gently
used for that purpose-.be careful to not
apply it any harder than is necessary to
bring him up to the required speed.
Speak to him soothingly and intimate
in the most-gentle manner what you want
him to do and he will try to do it. So
noble an animal should not be handled
roughly, nor over driven.
When yOu return hnvn the harness
removed at once and the horse rubbed
down with wisp of straw or hay. Give
him bite of grass or hay and let him
cool off before being watered or fed.
Every one who handles a horse or has
anything to do with one, should in the
first place cultivate his acquaintance, let
him know that you are his friend and
prove 1t to him by your kind treatment
he needs this to inspire confidence and
when that is gained, he is your humble
servant.
If your horse gets frightened at any
unusual sight or noise, do not whip him,
for, ifyou do, he will connect the whip
ping with the object that alarmed him
and make him afraid of 1t ever after. If
he merely SHES at an object, give him
time to examine it, which with some en-
couraging words from the driver will
persuade him to pass it. You get fright
ened, too, sometimes, and would not like
to be whipped for it.--Amertean Stock

On the lee.

"MARIE ANN went to the front door,
last evening, to see if the paper had come.
She had been delivering short address
to me concerning what she is pleased to
term my cold molasses style of moving
around AS she had opened the door she
remarked, / like to see body move
quick, prompt, emphatic, that was all;
but | heard some one humping down the
sters in a most prompt and emphatic
manner, aud | reached the door just in
time to see my better half sliding across
the sidewalk, in sitting posture, sug-
gested, as she limped back to the door,
that there might be such a thing as too
much celebrity; but she did not seem in
clined to carry on the conversation, and
started for my office.
"Right in front of me, on the slippery
sidewalk, strobe two independent knights
of st. Crispin. They were talking over
their plans for the future, and as l over
took them, heard one of them say; i
have only my two hands to depend on;
but that is fortune enough for any man
who is not afraid to work, Intend to pad

my own way through the world his feet
slipped out from under him, and he came
down in the shape of a big V. told him
he could never make his way through the
world in that direction, unless he came
down harder, and that if he did he would
come through among the heather

interest | manifested. He invited me to
place where ice never forms on the
sidewalk.
"Then / slid along behind loving cou-
pie on their way to hear Madame Anna

flowery for this climate, and as | passed
by she was trying to lift HIM up.
1.-TWO lawyers coming from the court
house next attracted my attention. 'Ah,
said one, Judge Foster would rule that
out. We must concede the two first
points. We can afford to do it if evidence
sustains us in the third; but on this posi-
tion we must make our firm stand, and
his time was up left him moving for g
new trial.

Congress, have among them so many that
are not models of virtue. But President
must employ those who will be employed.
He cannot go upon his kheeB to imperious
Senators. The People have made Presi-
dent higher than Senator. 1t 10 for pub
lie men who are truly patriotic to place
their counsel and influence with the Ex-
ecutive upon terms which he can accept
with self-respect If they are cold, arro-
giant, divisjve, it is not for them 10 COM
plain that the President passes by them to
men who are practical, and who help by
cordial sympathy rather than by moral
lectures
General Grant has not failed in any
pledges made by the Republican party in
his behalf. The party itself has been
numbered by practical difficulties
as great as were ever accumulated
upon political party. If In
some directions less, in other directions
more has been accomplished than was ex-
pected. No party ever goes into power
with the gift of prophecy. New events
change the complexion of party's pur-
poses, and it must conform to the require
ments of facts, The enthusiasm of 1872
Is not the popular enthusiasm of 1868,
and party may be truer to its principles
by not following out its original course
than by rigid adhesion to It.
Now, not seeking to Justify every neg
lect, or every performance, but applying
to the Republican party those allowances
and those tests which just men apply to
all human actions, we firmly believe that,
under General Grants Administration, the
Republican party has conducted the
country through period of resettlement
almost as perplexing as was the period of
war, and with a discretion and sue.
cess which are not unworthy of the repu-
tation achieved by il in the stormy days
of civil convulsions. During this period
General Grant has neither Jagged behind
nor run ahead of the Republican party.
If he has not proved brilliant, he has GER
tainly established reputation for
safety. For his place there is
would not be an experiment. Grant has
been tried, his weaknesses and his good
qualities are known. Experience is heal
ing the one and developing the other.
His fidelity to the known wishes of the
party is unquestionable. What correction
of abuses comes to be demanded will be
achieved. 1t is the force of public opinion
outside of the government which fills its
sails, and gives it power to move We
do not deprecate the criticism of able
journals Just as fast as they can raise
the tone of public sentiment in the
community, they will secure the execu-
tion of that sentiment by the Administra-
ton.
In short, the Republican party, in our
judgment, represents ideas and policies
Indispensable to the growth of justice and
liberty in this great Commonwealth. 1t
was never more fitted to carry out the best
thoughts of our wisest men. And in
looking about for leader in the coming
campaign, we know of no one so likely
to secure success as the man who in his
military life, however slow or cumbrous
in his methods, seems TO have invariably
come out victorious in the end. This has
been called good luck. The men who
habitually have good luck are the very
men we want.-Chj9sttdn Uf,0n.

Magnificent Figures.

WHILE half dozen cities in this

which is to be, the greatest, it may be
well TO remember that they have quite n

According to the last census London has a
population of 3,S93,0 This is more
than the combined population of New
York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, st. Louis,
Chicago, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Boston,
New Orleans, San Francisco, Buffalo and

multitude, 777,000 dwellings are required,
and the people consume annually about
4, 4SO, 600 barrels of flour, 420, 900 bullocks,
2,075, 900 sheep, 10000 calves, 81, $50 hogs,

and flesh, is washed down by $4,000, 900
gallons of ale and porter, 3, SOC, coo gallons
of spirits, and 113, $50 pipes of wine; 22,-
750 cows are required to supply the daily
consumption of milk. The streets of the
metropolis are about $500 in number, and
if put together would extend about 1000
miles. They are lighted by 630, 600
lamps, consuming every twenty-four
hours %, ,270, ,000 cubic feet of gas. The
