Use Of Muck.

Farmers on small farms often find it diff
fieult to keep up the fertility Of the SOIL not
being able to keep enough stock to make
manure. These same farmers buy costly
and sometimes useless artificial manures,
little thinking that the muck of their
swamps and river beds, if judiciously APP
piled. would greatly add to the fertility OF
the soil. | tried three experiments with it

was wonderful. That strip, in comparison

Whipping Horses.
Cdte.

There are some people who think that
the Spiri; and temper of horse must be
broken to make him valuable. Professor
Wagner. in his work on the "Educat ion of
Horses" says:
Il would caution all who train or use
horses against exciting the ill-will of the
animal. Many think they are doing finely
and are proud of their success in horse
training by means Of severe ,whippings. or
otherwise rousing and stimulat ing the pas
sions, and then, from necessity crus hing
the will, through which the resistance is
prompted. No mistake can be greater
than this, and there is nothing that so fully
exhibits the ability, judgment and skill OF
the real horseman as the care and tact dis
played in winning instead OF repelling. the
action of the mind. Although it may be
necessary TO use the whip sometimes, it
should always be applied judiciously, and
great care should be taken not 10 rouse
the passions or excite the will TO obstinacy.
The legitimate and proper use of the
whip is calculated to operate on the sense

Gus horses only at the eminent risk OF

by being whipped once, and one horse was
made vicious by being struck with q whip

course no one need initiate the diplomatist

is said, always surrounds each guest at the

A well made in this way can be in the
cellar or any where it will be the handiest

never getting foul. And 1t is fact that
all well water would be better if kept from
the air. Many wells of otherwise good

Song Of the Modern Reaper.


DO the Workers e'er forget,
In the harvest toll and fret.
The reaping time of yore.
How, with forms that seemed intent
To mock their sickle rs they bent
The ripened grain field DER.
All dav long they did go.
Like weayer's shuttle, TO and fro.
To cut the meadow grass;
Now. with horses smooth and sleek,
One day will do all that a week
Before would bring to pass.
Oh! 1.-The beauties" step so quick.
To the merry click, click. click,
That the meadow soon is shorn;
All the sweet and fragrant blooms
Now give out their best perfumes
To the Summer morn.
Up and down the dewy mead.

Through the SUNNY weather
Happy rs the birds are We.
When the harvest we can see
All in the barn together.
All through the ages, thus shall mind
Enfranehise muscle for mankind
Tall it shall come TO be,
Not of barren heritage,
Not auRht endure Of vassalage,
But human all, and free.

Harvesting Beans.

writer gives the following sugges-
tons
Beans are very easily damaged an reduc-
ed in value in harvesting. From the time
they are gathered until they are thrashed
and marketed they should be kept dry and
protected from mildew. Exposure to
danp causes them to be spotted and dis
colered.
As soon as beans are ripe they should be
pulled. Before the dew falls the beans
should be stacked. To do this a pole
six feet should be stuck firmly into the
ground. Then short pieces Of rails should
be laid on the ground and on these rails
lay the beans, the roots one way.
One moderately sized bunch should be
laid on each side of the stake or pole.
Then other punches should be laid across
the first ones, and the roots kept away on
the same side of the stack
This is to prevent the earth from falling
in amongst the beans and discsloring them
In this way the stack is carefully built up,
aud on reaching the top of the stack cap
of straw is fastened around it, and spread
so as to shed rain and keep the beans dry i.
The stack is SO open and narrow that the
wind passes through it, and curing goes
On rapidly.
When they are sufficiently cured they
may be hauled to the barn and thrashed.
