''LAWYERs SIT NEAREST THE FIRE.
During the sitting of court in COnnec-

ing, a crowd of lawyers had collected
around the fire that blazed cheerfully on
the hearthin the bar-roOm, when a travel
er entered, benumbed with cold, but no
no one moved to give him room to warm
his shins, so he leaned back against the
wall in the back part of the room.
Presently, a smart, young limb of the
law addressed him, when the following
dialogue took place:

yironment which can degrade human
being or harden a young heart, it is the
atmosphere of merely fashionable life.
You may take the tenderest and most
lovely girl, the one that is the lzindest at
home and loves her father and mother
best, and put herin the highest circle of
human life, with plenty of scopet to do as
she pleases !; let her dress herself as she
viii cover herself with diamonds and
pearls. add costly laces let the love of
admiration become the controlling pas
sion and by and by all the tenderness
of that young creature passes away her
thoughts concentrate upon herself, what
u figure she is cutting, who her adni-
rers are, what conquest she can make /;

have been thought OF, or if thought of,

Care Of Horses at Night.

The North British ReUieio, in relation to
this matter, says: Few men who handle
horses, give proper attention to the feet
and legs. Especially is this the case on
farms. Much time is spent of morning
in rubbing, brushing and smoothing the
hair on the sides of the hips, but at no
time are the feet examined and properly
cared for. Now, be it known, that the feet
Of ahorsc require more care than the body.
They need ten times as much, for in one
respect they are almost the entire horse.
All the grooming that can be done won't
avail anything if the horse is forced to
stand where his feet will be filthy. In this
case the feet will become disordered, and
then the legs will get badly out of fix and
with bad feet and bad legs, there is not
much else of the horse fit for anything.
Stable prisons generally are terribly severe
on the feet and legs Of horses and unless
these buildings can afford dry-room,
where horse can walk around, lie down,
OF roll over, they are not half so healthy
and comfortable TO the horse as the pasture,
and should be avoided by all good hostlers
in the country.

Care of Implements.

There is probably no text on which more
preaching is done by the agricultural press
than which heads this article. And yet
farmers are either forgetful of the lesson,
or are too careless of their own interests to
act upon it. We were especially reminded
of this by seeing, in the course of a ride
Of ninety miles through an average agIicul-
tural district, the following tools lying
out exposed to the weather, viz Forty
four plows, twenty-three harrows, seven
mowers, reaper and beater and platform
AS last used, wagons too numerous to count,
in one instance set of harness hanging on
the fence. The plows were mostly sticking
in the burrows whers last used. Now it is
natural to suppose that the owners of all
these tools and implements never sec any
agricultural paper, or they could not resist
the reiterated advice to take better care of
their property Of such a perishable nature.
1t is safe to say that these tools, kept
under cover when not in use, will last more
than twice as long as they will when ex-
posed to rain and sun. The loss is thus q
serious one, and we regret when we think
that we cannot reach such farmers by a
word of dvice.-American AgriculturiSt.

Rust In Wheat.

A Va, farmer in communication to
the Southern Farm and Home, thinks he
has found the means of preventing the rust
in wheat, by top-dressing in March with
wood ashes, putting about 10 bushels to
the acre. He says that in season of
drought in nearly all the wheat growing
sections of the South, whilst all his neigh
bors crops were ruined by rust, his escaped
hy the use of ashes. He considers it an
iufallible cure for rust, and that he has
found it tho means of preventing rust in
four out Of five of his crops. No doubt the
ashes will be found a most valuable manure
for this and almost all other crops, and If
in addition thersunto, they win prevent
the rust ALSO 1t will be more than ever
desirable to save and secure all that is pos
slble to reach.

FENCES.

A careful estimate shows that in the
State of Pennsylvania alone over ono and
half-million dollars are invested in fences
to keep out stock, 1t is time better and
more severe laws were passed to keep stock
off the highway pasture, which would re-
duce the cost of fences. Many improve
ments have been made and much economy
effected in the matter of fences.
Cheaper material has been found, and
movable fences for the necessary division
Of fields are common. In addition to this,
instead of laws passed by the Legislature
prescribing the height of a fence to turn
outside cattle, we have now statutes which
protect the farmers premises in certain
localities from the invasion in absence of all
fencing. Fences cost enough in cities, but
that bears a small proportion to the charges
of them in the country at large. When
the people go into the country they see
little to admire in the post and rail, the
worm fence, the rough stone wall, the
slightly strung wire, or even white palings
of the villages.
The fence is an American institution and
habit, and costly one it is Illinois is
said to have ten times the fencing of Ger
many, and Duchess comfy New York,
more than all France. These facts show
that these brown and dingy division marks,
overgrown with briers and thistles, are an
enormous tax on the industry of the
country, and all to keep stock from tres
passing. Some of these days, under the
careful tillage of the old world, fences will
disappear, and land boundaries will be
marked with fruit and shade trees, or neat
hedge rows, and the country will present d
much improved appearance.
