SOME TO TREAT HORSE. Some Eng
lish grooms. at Saratoga are teaching the
yankees" how 10 take care OF Il horse.
To day asked one OF the grooms, who
has spent twenty years in the stables of
royalty, what he had to say about our
American way of taking care of Il horse.
"Why, sir" said he, you don't take
good care of your horses, you think you do
but you don't"
"Why - asked.
because, when q horse comes in ali wet
with prcspiratiuu, you let him stand in
the stable and dry Tith all the dirt ON.
In England, We take the horse as he comes
in from a drive and srpnklo blood warm
water all over him from his head le his
feet. Then We scrape him down and
blanket him, rubbing his legs and feet dry,
Thus in an bour he is clean and dry, and
ready to take Il good feed, while, with your
way, he will stand aud dirty. Our horses
never founder and never take cold. We
never use carry comb. You scratch
your horses too hard. The only care
necessary is to have the water not very
cold, then bathe them quick and blanket
them instantly, while you are rubbing their
legs.

TIE HAY CRop. that the figures
are all in, it would appear that thereis not
so great 4 deficiency in the hay-crop as was
anticipated. In the east, where most Of
our supplies come from, there is little less
than Il full crop, while west Of the Alleghe-
nies there is higher average than usual.
In Pennsylvania we have not as much as
usual, and south Of US, in Maryland and
Virginia, there is the most perhaps they
have had for many years. The short sup
plies in Pennsylvania is, however, more
than made up by the increasing attention
which has been given TO saving and curing
cornfodder, which when well-nade is for
many proposes equal to the best hay. The
effort to make good fodder has been well
seconded by the clerk of the weather. There
has not been SO fine season for many
years both for properly maturing the corn
and for allowing attention to be given to
properly curing the herbage. Altogether
we conclude that though the price of hay
in Philadelphia will be pretty well main-
tained. the very high figures anticipated i'll
the spring will hardly be reached.-Ger-

NOVEMBER

The red sun gathers up his beams
To bid the withered earth farewell,
And voices from the swelling streams
Are ringing with the evening bell;
The cold lake throbs with restless grief
Where late the water lilies grew,
While autumn fowl, and autumn leaf,
Are sailing down the river blue.
Forsaken are the woodland shrlncs,
The birds to warmer lands have He'd,
The winds are wailine through the pines
A dirge for summers glorious dead
Fen man forsakes his daily strife.
And muses. on the radiance flown,
As If in natures changing life
He saw the picture OF his own.
often think, ut this dim hour.
As evening weeps her earliest tear,
And sunset gilds the naked bower,
And waves are breaking cold and clear,
OF that glad time, whose memory Gwels
Like starlight DER lile's hazy tide,
When eide By side we roamed the dell
OF dear New Engand's ocean tide.
Twas on old Plymouth's storled shore,
One calm November night with thee,
l watched the long light trembling o'er
The pillows of the eastern sea
The weary day had sunk to rest
Beyond the lines of leafess wood,
Aud guardian clouds from south to west
Arrayed in hues OF crimson stood.
We climbed the hills of noble graves,
Where the stern patriarchs of the land
Seemed listening to the same grand waves
Tha. freed them from th' oppressor's hand ;
We talked of spirits pure and kind,
With gentle forms and loving eyes,
OF fhappy homes We left behind
In wales beneath the western skies.
A few brief days-and when the earth
Grew white around the travellers feet,
Aud bright fires blazed on every hearth,

Ratilesunkc Bites, and How tiey
nrc cured in Texas.

In Texas, on the borders more especially,
rattlesnakes, king-snakes, black-snakes,
tarantulas. centipedes, and great many
other kinds of venomOus reptiles abound,
and it is not an unfrequent occurrence that
some of the soldiers there stationed get
badly bitten by them. The greatest num-
Der of bites are, however, given by the most
dreaded of all, the ruttlesnake. A num-
Der of instances had occurred in which
their venom has been counteractcd. A
couple OF instances will suffice:
A soldier attached to detachment who
were escorting train from San Antonio to
Fort Tcrtt, pied rabbit a short dis
lance Off, and fired at and wounded him.
The animal ran TO a hole, and the soldier
pursued him, reaching the hole at nearly
the same time as the rabbit. He thrust
his hand down the hole to draw him out,
and Immediately felt a severe bite on the
ball Of his thumb. lie drew out his hand
and could plainly perceive that it had been
bitten by a snake his thumb was pierced
in two places, aud the blood was dripping
very freely from the incisious made by the
iangs. An old Mexican who was in the
train, Immediately told them to dig the
snake out and kill him. This was done in
n short space of time. lie then took the
snake skin n ed it, and cut out its gall, and
laid it upon the wound and tied it there.
The soldier did not experience any pain
from it, not did any swelling even ensue,
although the snake was large one, with
eight rattles. Now, if the gall of a rattle
snake is a cure for its bite, why cannot
the same remedy be applied to the bite of
other reptiles The second instance was
that of Il soldier who had shot u deer near
the edge of the prairie, and was about to
take possession of the carcass, when he
accidentally trod upon rattlesnake, which
Immediately fastened its fangs into the calf
Of his leg, and made Off unharmed. The
soldier Immediately thought of the mud
remedy, and turning down his stocking,
applied it freely to the wounded part, and
bandaging it up tightly, walked to camp,
under a hot sun. n distance of two miles
not suffering from the venom in the least,
and never did. The latter is truly SIM
pie remedy.

The OLDEST ODD-FELLow.--It was
stated some weeks ago that John 6. Potts,
of Galena, was the oldest Odd-Fellow in
the United States, having been initiated
in 1925. This has brought out William
Austice, eff Philadelphia, who says he was
initiated in 1922, in Washington Lodge.
Baltimore, then the only lodge in the
United States. While Mr., Austrce was
in the N. q. chair, in BALTIMORE, he says
some Philadelphians applied for and OBJ
tanned charter to open lodge in that
city. Mr.. Austice then removed to Phila-
delphia and joined the lodge there.

PRESERVATION OF APPLKs.-Some OF
the apple raisers on the hills, more es-
pecially in the town of Cummington,
Mass, are about to test new process for
the preservation of that fruit. The ex-
pertinent will consist in freezing the APP
pies solid as soon as the temperature will
insure that result, and then packing them
in dry saw-dust, or some other nou-con-
ductOr of heat or clld, free from moisture,
as security against untimely thawing be-
fore they are needed for use. They feel
confident that, by some peculiar process
not yet known to the public, they can eX-
tract the frost from the apples, whenever
demanded for use, without injury to the
fruit, leaving it, in fact, as fresh and sound
as when gathered from the tree.
