summer Dangers.

The summer sunshine that clothes the earth
with luxuriant vegetation evaporates n vast
amount of crude, unwholesome moisture from its
surface, which, mingiing with the air in the form
OF mephitic gases, produces variety Of febrile
and other diseases. The body being debilitated by
the warmth OF the season, and the pores being
wide open, gaping il for the seeds OF sick
ness any infectious principle that may exist in
the atmosphere is readily received into tho sys-

One Hundred and Fifty.fOur Days of
Sieighing.

According to the Northampton Ga
zette, Mr.. O. p. Clark, who runs a stage
from Williamsburg, through West
Cummington, to Hinsdale, Mass,
makes the following remarkable state
ment:
"He states that he ran sleigh over
Windsor Hill five days in November,
and did not run wagon again until the
2Sth day of April, 1878, making 154 days
of sleighing, or 154 days between the
times of running wagon. The mail
was carried on foot from East Windsor
to Hinsdale from April B to April %,
twenty-five days. He did not keep the
road all the way until May 10, in conse-
quence of snow-drifts, and ut date, May
"a, drives over drift four feet deep.
The above is from experience and OBJ
servation, and he thinks there is plenty
of snow in places to make sleighing till
July. Some plow-land is two and three
feet under the snow, and the farmers
talk of removing it to put in their
crops"

seedy-looking individual with an
alarmingly red nose remark to a brother
soaker that he had "just had his bitters,
but he did not mind taking another
nip" His remark suggested train of
reflection. How was it, we asked our
selves, that the word "bitters had
grown to be synonym for gin, whisky,
rum, and other alcoholic stimulants, to
which it was applied unfortunately.
Bitters, we reasoned, suggested the idea
of healthful tonic, not of poisonous
stimulant; something invigorating to
the system, not an alcoholic irritant, full
of fusel oil, producing present intoxica-
ton and ultimate insanity, idiocy, or
premature death. Moreover, our idea
of bitters was totally irreconcilable with
"gin cocktails" rum-punches, and
"brandy smashes," which, we are in
formed, are sweetened with sugar, and
rendered doubly injurious with essences
colored by means Of mineral poison,
This was bitter-sweet with vengeance.
We mentioned this problem to a friend.

AdYnncc In Horses.

An Eastern paper says: We recollect
very well that when railroads were first
being built in the interior of New En-
gland, farmers thought that horse rails
ing would no longer be profitable, and
many breeders of our acquaintance act
ed on this belief, and either raised no
colts at all, or much less than they had
formerly done. Everybody knows that
these fears were not realized. Horses
have been in greater demand and prices
have been much higher since the COM
pletion of railroads than before. The
same appears to have been the case in
England, rs it is stated that the London
General Omnibus Company has pur-
chased %, 024 horses in the last II years.
From 1861 to 1870 the average price
was about $3.50 each. In 1871 the aver
age price was $40, and in 1872 nearly
Sl65. Until 1870 the needed supplies
were easily obtained in England and
Scotland. For eighteen months past
nearly all the horses bought have been
purchased in France.

The Farmer His Own Master.

If nothing else serves to render q
farmer contented with his occupation,
this thing should've is his own master
The farmer, almost alone of the whole
army workingmen, can say this with any
sort of propriety. The march of i'm
provement, rs it is called, during the
past thirty years reduced almost every
mechanic to the position of servant, a
person who does the bidding of his
master.
But the farmer, be his acres few or
many, is his own master and the direct
or of his energies more than the me-
chanic, more than any professional man,
he is at liberty to crafty his peculiar
tastes and to carry out his own plans.
He is allowed wide choice of occupa-
tlons while being farmer {; and without
any serious break can change from
stock-raising to grain growing, from bee
keeping to Embarrassing; and then, if the
angeisfoundnotp pleasant ornot profita-
BILE, can in his middlo-life go back to the
one which he began. SO, too, there is
no business in which the young man of
energy can so easily engage on his own
account. Even if he rents farm he is
vastly more independent than the me-
chanic who works all his life for an en-
ployer. But with homestead to be
had almost for the asking, there is no
need of this. He can become the pos
SCISSOR of home and farm that patri-
arch might covet, and thenceforth be
among the most independent of men.

A REMARKABLE PROGRESS.
From the Hartford Daily Times. I

We have already alluded to the pros porous con-
dition of the Phoenix Life Insurance Company,
located in this city, Of which Edison Fessenden is
the President and James f. Burns Secretary. A
careful Investigation Of its last annual state
ment, just published, warrants us in submitting to
the readers OF the Times some further remarks
upon it's rapid progress to popular favor and it's
| remarkably prosperous condition at the present
time.
Let us compare its condition ten years ago with
what il is at the present time. In the years 1s62
and 1868 it issued 1,17 policies; its income was
Sl25 672 dividends, 81 ,24; losses by death, $685.
600 assets S437 1888. Here was the business of two
years.
In 1872 1t issued 1882 policies; its income was
S3il3752 40; dividends S943,44.1; losses by DEATH
1881 ,1lG 20; net assets, s., POS, 32507.
This increase Of business and assets in the short
period Of ten years is worthy of special notice. Al
income in 1879 OF S35oo0 900 against Sl25672 in
1862 and 1868; it is near thirty to one. over ton
thousand policies last year against seventeen hun
dred in two years, only ten years ago. Its net as
sets amount to over eight millions now; then less
than half a million-more than sixteen to one one
jump. 1t comes of regular yearly ADVANCES show
p pro For Instance, the net assets Of the
company at the opening Of the year 1872 amounted
to S7,5l064.06; at the commencement OF 1878 they

ties carry it's obligations up to 81 oO9 4s3.57. De-
Quoting this from its net assets and the company
has q surplus Of 81 l99 ,S3l 30.
The officers lay these facts before the pubic with
the assurance that they cannot be equaled in COM
paratve strength by the statement Of any company
in New England il, indeed, by any in the country
though few others have a larger aggregate OF
assets. No company in this city eqgaled it last
year in the number of policies issued. Only one
came within 1000 Of it, and the others were from
! 1900 to 5000 below it,
In this sterling condition Of it's finances, In its
great and increasing prosperity, and in the hrm

may, with due degree Of pride and satisfaction,

IT frequently happens that a farm will
not divide well among children there
is trouble in making an equitable dis
tribution of the property. In such in
stances it is well to consider the subject
of life insurance. For small sum paid
annually, large amount of ready money
may be left to the widow or daughter at
at the period of ones death /; and they
will be just as independent Us the sons
who divide and keep the farm. This
suggestion is well worth needing by
thousands who are interested, and we
commend to them to the old New York

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


minus I'd Farmers
Chaff is better for old horses than hay,
because they can chew and digest it
better.
Mix chaff with corn and beans, and do
not give the latter alone, because it
makes the horse chew his food more and
digest it better.
Hay or grass alone will not support a
horse under hard work, because there is
not sufficient nutritive body in either.
When horse is worked hard its food
should be chiefly oats-if not worked
hard its food should be chiefly hay
because oats supply more nourishment
and discriminating material than any other
KIND OF food; hay not so much.
For saddle or coach-horses half peck
OF sound oats and eighteen pounds of
good hay are sufficient. If the hay is
not good add quarter of peck more
oats. A horse which works harder may
have rather more of each one that
works little should have less.
Rack feeding is wasteful. The better
plan is to feed with chopped hay from a
manger, because the food is not then
thrown about, and is more easily chewed
and digested.
Sprinkle the hay with water that has
salt dissolved in it, because it is pleas
ing to the animals taste, and more
easily digested. A teaspoonful of salt
In bucket of water is sufficient
Oats should be bruised for an old
horse, but not for young one, because
the former, through age and defective
teeth, cannot chew them properly. The
young horse can do so, and they are
thus properly mixed with saliva, and
turned into wholesome nutriment-
