Drausht Horses.

No opinion could be more incorrect
than the too generally received one that
a horse draws by virtue of, or IN pro-
portion to, his weight and size. IF this
were the case the largest and heaviest
animals could always draw the most, and
his weight on the scale would be the
best test of his capabilities. But facts
in abundance prove it otherwise.
Draught does not depend altogether
upon weight and size. It is in great
measure the result of a vital power.
Although weight can render some as
sistance, the power of draught is chiefly
owing to muscular action and nervous
energy, which, again, are intimately
connected with, and greatly dependent
on, the temperament of the animal. The
jennet, mule, ass, and blood horse have
much more energetic temperament
than the carter, and, consequently, pos
sess more muscular power than the lat
ter in proportion to their weight and
size. Their leverage, however, is not
nearly SO well suited for draught, and in
that respect, when compared with the
ordinary cart horse, they labor under 6
decided disadvantage.

DISCRIMINATING Weeds.

A correspondent of the Rural Home
writes Annual or biennial plants,
such as the daisy or OK eye, May weed,
the rag weed, red-root, ETC., are more
difficult to extirpate, when they once get
possession of the land, as their seeds
will sometimes remain in the soil sew
eral years before termination. Careful
wedding after thorough cultivation is
the best way and perhaps the only way
to clean the land when they once take pos
session-but in this, as with most other
evils, can ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure" Farmers do not
seem to realize the damage their crops
suffer from these injurious weeds. IF a
neighbor's cattle break into their crops
and trample, the damage is perceptible,
but growth of weeds and thistles lmay
choke and rob the plant of food and
moisture, so that it cannot mature its
grain, and they take little note of it.
Better, oftentimes, that half the land be
left unseeded, and the balance well cul-
tivated and clean of weeds.

patrons that it is kept fully up TO
it, high standard and it is the on
" reliable and perfected prcpara-
ton for restoring GRAY OK FADED
HAZE TO its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandruff, and, by lis tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands BY its use, tho
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
