A WrInkIe about the Age Of Horses.

The following information to ascertain
the age of a horse, after it has passed the
ninth year, is quite new for us, and will be
to the most of our readers. After the horse
is nine years old, wrinkle comes on the
eye-lid, at the upper corner of the lower
lid, and every year thereafter he has one
well defined wrinkle for each year of his
age over nine. If for instance horse has
three wrinkles, he is twelve. Add the
the number of wrinkles to nine, and you
will always get at his age.

A Fruit Ladder.

The work of securing the fruit in prop
er condition from the top of tall trees, is a
severe tax on the muscles unless the prop
or implements for climbing are provid-
ed. Secure a sapling of sufficient length of
Eastwood or elm which are very light when
seasoned and fit an iron around near the
small end. Then commence at the large
end and divide the stick in the middle. If
the grain is straight it may be split, if not,
use the saw. Spread the foot of the ladder
about three feet, which forms triangle,
and insert rounds at proper places. The
pole or closed end placed in the fork of q
a limb, forms the most convenient and
safest of ladders.

Rat Proof Corn Crib.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
-0tte, gives the following directions for max
ing a rat proof corn crib.
Let the four corner posts be 8 inches
square; frame tho ills which are to sup
port the floor of the cr b into the posts at
a distance of two feet from the lower end.
Before putting the frame together, taper
the lower ends Of the posts for the distance
of two feet so that at the very base the
posts shall be only four inches square. -
Now, when the frame is set up let these
posts also stand on tapered rocks. If the
crib needs more than these four posts to
bear up the corn that will be put into it,
make legs like the lower portions of these
posts, and set these legs under the sills, and
put on the floor, making the latter tight,
and which will be about three feet from
the ground. Have the door made tight,
and keep it Shut and no rats will get into
your crib.

Insurance Notice.

On and after the tenth day of April,
1872, The Home Reserve force of Insur-
ance Agents belonging to NThe Pennsylva-
mia Central Insurance Company" will leave
Pottsville in heavy force, and occupy ten
different counties of the State, where they
will continue TO act as the Company's
Agents until full line of Local Agents
can be appointed, when they will be recalled.
AS body of men, / believe they are supe-
rior Insurance Agents, and most of them
speak the English, French, Welsh and Ger
man Languages. The City Insurance
Journals with all their sneers at Mutual
Companies, and continual cry of Fraud
Fraud &C., cannot muster any better In
surance material Why don't the City In
surance papers tell the public that no Mu-
tual Company broke or failed during the
last ten years? Why don't they tell the
public that more than half the Stock Com
panies started within the last ten years
have? 1t is well-known fact that Mutual
Companies cannot fail.

Celery.

Celery that is not sufficiently blanched
when cool nights come on, and there is
danger of frost, should be banked, up to
the topmost point of the leaves then cover
with straw or boards. When the ground
begins to freeze, dig up, and place all in
narrow trench, in some dry and conven-
lent place, where it can be protected from
frost and still be gotten when wanted for
use. Pure sand is better than soil to pack
in among the roots and stems for winter
preservation.

81 Our dead are hero: the flowers we bring.
Sadly with every newborn spring.
As on a holy shrine to ding.
Our deathless love proclaim.
- Men write each proud heroic name,
Upon ths long bead-rOll Of Fame,
And down the ages send the name
In their true souls that burned.
"Then bring fair flowers, and through all time
Ring every year their funeral chime,
And tell the tale Of deeds sublime
To fan the holy IRE.
