\ correspondent writes thus OF baking nor.
scS Some writers have held that the cause OF
baking is bad treatment | think that this
view IS partially false Some horses will
balk anyway, and some cannot be made to
balk. When Il horse once commences TO balk

baik almost every time hitched her to the
wagon.
But one day, while we were stacking our
oats, an old man, who was working there,
saw her balk and said to me: "Ill show you
what will start her" Accordingly he took a
cane with a crook in it, that he had with him,
and stepping up to her, stuck the hook down
into her ear. The horse started with a jump,
and we had no more baking that day. have
tried the plan since then and have always
been successful Don't be afraid of hurting
the horse; it will only make him mad, and
that is what YOU want The philosophy of
the thing is this Take any horse and espe-
cially balky horse, and you will find an
aversion to having the ears handled. Now
when YOU lab the cane into his ear the pain
makes him mad; in fact, il makes him so mad
that it fOrgets all about ITS baking and every
thing else and goes right off. | would re-
commend to try it on horse when he balks,
but never use the whip. You injure the horse,
and waste elbow grease that might be useful
ly employed somewhere else. In conclusion
would say, never breed from balky horse,
for more worthless animal can hardly be
imagined.

ARREsTING DECAYIN POTATOES Various
plans for arresting decay in potatoes after
digging have from time to time been made
public; such as busting with quick-limc,
gypsum, charcoal dust, etc. Prot. Church, Of
Cirenccster, England, the eminent agricultu-
raj chemist announces that sulphate of lime
appears to exercise very remarkable intlu
ence in arresting the spread of decay in pota
toes affected by the potato disease. In one
experiment the salt was busted over some
tubers, partially decayed from this cause, as
they were being slowed away. Some months
afterward the potatoes were found to have
suffered no further injury y similar trial
with powdered lime proved to be much less
effective.

PERMANENT FLOWER BEDs.-To save time
and labor of reshaping flower beds every
spring, when made in the sod, lay out the
form you wish them, take off the surface to
the depth Of eighteen inches, cut the side
straight down, set large, long shaped stones
edgewisc around even and upright support
ing each other firmly, preserving the same
height above the surface. The stones should
stand six inches above; this will prevent the
grass growing into the bed. Replace the sod
to the height of one foot ill up with soil and
compost, raising the center eighteen inches
higher than the edge Dressed up, aud rich
soil added every spring, you have bed that
will last over twenty years. The stone sides
keep the roots moist, and enable them to
stand the heat and drought of summer.

A SEAsoNABLE HINT.-Drnking tumblcrs
of ice water to slake thirst in summer is, like
eating berries and milk, an excellent pro
mOtcr of diseases. After a long walk or an
exhaustive labor the best way to Stake thirst
is to dip towel in cold water, at the same
time immersing both hands into it deep
enough to cover the wrists, apply the towel
to the forehead, and repeat the process two
or three times then drink cold water with a
teaspoon. A few drops Of vinegar, lemon
juice, or brandy may be put in the water
drunk.

People speak of and newspapers write about
tie cattle disease tie horse disease, tie potato
disease; and when there is any remarkable
disease travelling through country at some
particular time, it is definite enough for all
practical purposes. But yet it leads to con
fusion at times, and we have again eXcmpli
fled the }abclsh experience Of people not I'm
dcrstanding one another's tongue.
When reference is made to the potato dis
ease in our own country, we may be speaking
of or reading about two very distinct things
One is caused by "a small beetle, about the
size of a grain OF wheat, which deposits an
egg in the potato stem soon after the potato is
above the ground This egg comes to a small
grub or caterpillar, which eats out the heart
of the potato stem, and this then willis up I'M
der hot suns, and dies away before the pOta-
toes are half grown, when the potato tubcr
cease to grow any more, and the product is
almost worthless.
Another disease is caused by the growth OF
species of zymotic fungus, as those are call
ed which promote fermentation. If we have
cider, or other vegetable juices, we can keep
them pure for a long time if we keep them
from the air; but if we admit intercourse with
II, or introduce little yeast which contains
this fungus, 1t soon operates on the whole
mass. These small termenting fungi, when
they get a lOdgment in the potato plant cause
fermentation in precisely the same way They
are bred in the atmosphere, and are taken in
to the plants system through the leaves of the
plant. This is proved by the fact that it has
been found to travel from place to place at
about fifty miles a day, or rs fast as the aver.
