EXPERIMENTING House FLIES.

ExTERM1NATING HOUSE FLIES
A Vermonter gives to the Farmers
Institute his method of destroying
these pests by means of a kind Of
net secured in doorway. He says:
II am enabled, by the means of a
net made of proper material and a
suitable size, attached slightly to a
door passage in horizontal posi-
ton, to entrap all the flies in the
house in few minutes, and scald
or destroy them. I find that flies
can be driven out Of a room through
doorway with facility, and net
attached to the passageway receives
all the flies, l care not how numer-
Gus, that are driven from the room.
The net being light, with open
meshes, they will light on the same
and stay there till you drive all the
flies in the room into the net; then
quickly remove the net from the
doorway, inclosing the mouth in
your hand; shake it, and the flies
will quickly be gathered at the rear
end of the net, just like swarm of
bees, and then destroy them by dip
ping the bunch of flies in hot water
or soap suds. A few applications
of the net make the flies very few
in number in and about your house.
By using our continuance once or
twice a week, in any dwelling, dur
ing, fly time, will give peace and
quietude that such as detest flies and
vermin as do will appreciate"

To Subdue n Kicking Horse.

Take halfinch rope which has
been stretched until it cannot be
stretched any more; tie around the
horse about six inches back Of the
pad and the bellyband Of the har-
ness. Insert short stick and twist
it up nearly as tight as the rope
will bear without breaking, and tie
the stick so that it will stay. Tie
the horse in stall where there is
room behind him to WELD long
lash-whip, and then whip him
around the hind legs very severely.
At the second or third blow he will
generally kick with both feet with
all his might. If he has been in
the habit Of kicking in the harness,
drive him with the rope on two
weeks, or till he quits making
any threats. Some will kick once
or twice with one foot, and bob up
and threaten for several days.
They should be ticklcd or teascd, or
have basket thrown under them,
or tin pail tied to one hind foot,
to make them try it. several times
every day. After being driven a
half-hour, they will shrink, so
that the rope should be frightened.

Raise Big Korses.

II is evident to every one who has
given any attention whatever to the
horses of our country that they are
too small. A small, or even aver
age sized horse, must be almost per-
feet in form, style, action and tenn
per, in order to enable the owner to
sell him for cash at any price. The
only way to get rid of the little nags
is to keep them on the farm until
they are worn out, for they have
not the substance that is demanded
for the market.
The only steady market-the only
one that the farmer can rely upon
for the sale of horses,is in our large
cities for the drays, carts, truck
wagons, omnibuses, &c, where
none but large horses will GILL the
bill" For such uses as these,
three-fourths Of all the horses rails
ed in this country are entirely
worthless, and cannot be sold at all.
On the contrary, every farmer
knows that the country is secured
year after year by buyers in search
of large horses, and that big,
smooth, sound horse is always a
ready sale at a good price, while
the little ones are a drug on the
market. During the past winter it
has been easier to sell a big horse
for money, even if he was blind of
an eye, ring-boned, or spawned,
than the soundest little fellow that
ever wore shoe.
The fact is, there has been such
a rage for fast trotters for years
past, and all other good qualities
have been SO completely lost sight
of in the mania for speed, that the
general result is really alarming
While the most careful and expert
enced breeders have occasionally
succeeded in producing a "fast one,"
it is certain that ninety-nine thous-
and nine hundred and ninety-nine
of the efforts in that direction have
proven failures, and the result is
seen in the tens Of thousands of lit
tie, worthless, vicious horses that
fill our county, bred in the vain hope
of producing winning trotter.
Is it now time that farmers would
wake up to their true interests in
this matter, and that the little, spin
dle-legged, three and five dollar
stations that are to be found at
every road crossing should be abol-
ished as a nuisance?-1oac0 Home
