ton having taken place fully and sHcccss-
fully, without jog or iostlc in the nachn-
cry that works it, few new features are de-
veloping of special Importance. The banks
of the city are better prepared to-day to
meet the demands of Irade than they have
been during the year, and the reason is
obvious: the short respite Ot the banks
having terminated, it is now easy TO see
the benefit that has resulted from the s,is-
pension, notwithstanding the action must
ever remain ccnsurablc, because of the
injury that has resulted to business, and
because such II policy was wholly unnc-
cessary, as yesterday demonstrated; but
he benefits that have accrued are in the
increase Of banking capital, and in that we
find the panacea for the anticipated severe
fall stringency. Bankers all agree that
their capital has been increased during the
suspension from onc-fourh to onc-tentll

other sources, none of which has been paid

Keeping Hens.

In general singing hen is a laying hen !;
certainly a happy hen will carry out the
adage just as comfortable, contentea
cow is good mixer. And this is the Sc
cret of both COW and hen. Feed well, treat
well, and you make happy and csntented.
A company of hens, therefore, must not be
crowded; must not be cold, must not suffer
from bad or insufficient food. A hen must
not be disturbed or annoyed in any way.
1t must not suffer from foul water, but
must have clean water ready at all times.
1t must have dust spot to wallow in
quiet retreat to lay its eggs, and an easy,
pleasant place to roOst. 1t must have
plenty of light. All this makes summer
fol. the hen-summer in winter. And what
will prevent it from laying, singing and lay
ing? ANY breed will do well, some bet
ter than others. Never keep hen till it
is old, either for its flesh or its eggs.
Hens thus treated will never fail to do
well, especially the best breeds. 1t is q
safe investment. And these investments
in smaller colonies may be multiplied at
will, each independent of the other, though
adjoining.
1t will be seen here as in other things,
that principles must be aimed at. These
may be carried out in various ways. Each
one is to do this himself. If not capable,
he is not likely to be successful with hens.

DO Horses Reason ?

For many years have made the horse
subject of careful thought and study. At
times have been led to believe that horses
have reasoning powers, and can understand
and apply them in various ways. For the
last two years | have driven my mare
nearly every day over the same road.
About a mile from my home are two roads,
one leading to the church, the other to the
depot. Now six days in the week drive
to the cars, and on Sunday to the church.
AT the point where the roads separate, /
give my mare her head, leaving her free to
make her choice, and on week days she will
60 straight to the depot, and on Sundays,
she goes, of her own free will, to The
church never knew her to fail me yet.
1t puzzled me for long time to learn how
she should know any difference in days !;
and have come to the conclusion that she
reasons from facts-facts connected with
every day life. On week days start from
my stable in two-wheel carriage; on
Sundays start from my house in carry
all, thus making an entire change, both in
time, place and carriage and from these
facts she must be guided in her choice of
roads. Many say this is instinct; if so,
where does reason begin P Our Dumb
