regretted that the association did not Or
eanize sooner and have les nesting earlier

sent, the excellent amphitheatre afording
ample shelter TO those who were attracted
BY the sport. II The first heat the second
horse broke, ran against the fence, threw
the rider and ran mile and half before
being caught. No serious damage was
done. The track of course was very heavy,
but the sport was as good as could be ex-
pected under the circumstances. Now, 8

The Jefferson City MO- correspond
ent of the st. Louis Republican says
Col. A. M. York is a native of the State
of New York, and held the rank of
Colonel in regiment of colored, men
during part of the late war. After
the close of the war he removed to
Shelbina, Shelby county, Missouri,
where he engaged in the practice Of
law, real estate and the publishing
business with Col. John w. Shafer,
who served in the Legislature during
the past two years as the representa-
tive from Shelby county. York was
radical of the blackest dye, and pub
lished the Shelby County Herald, one
of the most prosperous papers in the
State. He contributed his efforts in
giving the vote of Monroe county to
PatsDyer for Congress against Switzler.
After the election in 1870, Col. York
York, together with Mr.. Yoe, who
was also formerly connected with the
Shelby Herald as the practical busi-
ness man, removed to Montgomery
county, Kansas, where he began the
publication of a Republican paper, and
the step appeared too easy from this
position to that of enator. of the great
State of Kansas, one of whose bleeding
wounds he has sought to scab over.

Homemade Yeast.

Daisy Eyebright, in the Country
Gentleman, recommends the following !:
Boil two handfuls of hops, tied in
small bag, in six quarts of water,
slice thin six large potatoes and boil
them with the hops; when they are
soft skim them out and mash perfectly
fine; add to them one half pints of
wheat flour stirred to smooth batter
with cold water; turn over the whole
the boiling hop liquor, first taking out
the bag and squeezing it dry; then hang
it aside to use another time, for it will
make two patches of yeast. STIR into
this mixture two tablespoonfuls Of
sugar, one of ginger and one of salt.
When milk-warm add a teacupful of
yeast, set in a warm place to rise, and
it viii be ready to putinto a jug by the
next morning. Keep in cool cellar
or ice-house, and it will last good for
six weeks or more. Always shake the
jug before using any of its contents.
A teacupful of this yeast will make
three loaves of bread and pan ofrolls

Selling Farm Products

Every man who has experience in
the large markets knows that the fol-
lowing, from the pen of writer in the
Independent, is true: "The successful
selling of a product depends largely
upon the condition and appearance of
the article when brought into the pres
ence of the buyer. The external ap-
pearance Of a farmers dairy Of butter
or cheese has much to do with the
price it brings. Bags of grain, barrels
of fruit and vegetables, if outwardly
fresh and clean, make a favorable i'm
preston on the buyer, and other things
being equal, they bring the highest
prices. The value of poultry is often
diminished one-half by the untidy
manner in which it is sent to market,
and SO with variety of other farm
pl loducts. Inattention to little things
and carelessness of time and manner of
sending them often diminishes the
amount realized below a living profit. F."

Smut on Wheat z arasiticaI.

A correspondent writing from
France, says that the prevalence Of
smut in wheat has drawn attention to
that disease, and DIR. Pennetier, who
has made the subject one of lifelong
study, assures us it is owing to the
presence of parasitical animalcule, not
unlike the tiny eels that vine produces,
and which exist in the smut ball, as
whitish filaments. Although dryness
suspends the life of these worms, they
Immediately regain it on being plung-
ed into water. The humidity Of the
soil effects the same change. When
the sown grain germinates the larvae
of the diseased seed are attracted 10 the
young plant, live on its pulpy matter,
forming tumors on the stem and leaves,
and ultimately lodge in the ear. They
are now in an adult state; the sexes be-
come distinct; the female deposits her
eggs-from twelve to fifteen hundred,
as many thousands being found in a
single grain of wheat. The new larvae

Growing ont n H0of.

1t is the universal habit to destroy a
horse that has lost a hoof, and this is
upon the hypothesis that the horse is
lamed for life and rendered unfit for
any work. We find, however, that,
|ifallowed, nature will in time perform
her own cure, and restore tke missing
hoof, as the following remarkable Gaze
will show, which we extract from a
late number of the San Francisco Cdl :
yesterday we met with horse
which had his hoof torn of by the
wheel of a dray on Howard street,
some weeks since. The owner Was ad-
vised at the time to shoot the horse,
but the animal being not only valuable
but favorite, it was determined, if
possible, to effect its cure. The horse
was slung for nine days, during which
time it suffered most acute pain, the
nature OF which may be imagined in a
degree by any one Hhr 'I,s had nail
violently torn OF. .iiiCr this time the
pain apparently abated, and the horse
was lowered to his feet, the wounded
foot being well preserved from any un-
due amount of exertion. The horn, or
hOof, has now grown two-thirds of its
natural size, and in proper shape,
and it is hoped by grass time the horse
will be fit 10 turn out, and that bysum-
mer the horse will be sufficiently
strong to bear shoe and allow the an
imal TO return to work. The cure has
been brought about by humane treat
ment and constant care. The horny
matter has secreted itself in the same
manner as the matter which composes
our nails is secreted.

Prayer and Potatoes.

IIf a brother or sister be naked, and
destitute of daily food, and one of you
say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye
warmed and filled: Notwithstanding
ye give them not thoeS things
which are needful for the body what
doth 1t profit james ii: 15-l6.l
An old lady sat in her old arm chair,
With wrinkled visage and dishevelled
hair,
And hunger-worn features;
For da ys'and for weeks her only fare,
As she sat there in her old arm chair,
Had been potatoes.
But now they were gone; of bad or
good
Not one was left for the old lady's
food,
Ofthese potatoes.
And she sighed and said, "Wqat shall
do?
Where shall send, and to whom shall
Igo
For more potatoes?"
And she thought of the deacon over
the way,
The deacon SO ready to worship and
pray,
Whose cellar was full of potatoes.
And she said: 81 will send for the
deacon to come;
He'll not mind much to give me some
OF fsuch store of potatoes"
And the deacon. came over as fast as he
could,
Thinking to do the old lady some good ,
lsRr of
He asked her at once what was her
chief want,
And she, poor soul, expecting grant,
immediately answered, Potatoes J"
But the deacon's religion didn't lie that
way;
He was more accustomed 10 preach and
to pray
Than to give of his boarded potatoes;
80, not hearing, of course, what the old
lady said,
He rose to pray, with uncovered head,
But she only thought Of potatoes.
He prayed for patience, and wisdom,
and grace,
But when he prayed, "Lord, give her
peace"
She audibly sighed, "Give potatoes"
And at the end of each prayer which
he said,
He heard, or thought he heard in its
stead,
The same request for potatoes.
The deacon was troubled; knew not
what to do;
twas very embarrassing to have her
act so
About "those carnal potatoes"
So, ending his prayer, he started for
But,as the door closed, he heard deep
groan, -,
so, give to the hungry potatoes'
And that groan followed him all the
way home,
In the midst of the night it haunted
his room,
so, give to the hungry potatoes ~
He could bear it no longer; arose and
dressed;
From his well-flled cellar taking in
haste
a bag of his best potatoes.
Again he went to the widows lone
hut;
Her sieepless eyes she had not yet shut;
But there she sat, in that old arm chair,
With the same wan features, the same
sad air,
And, entering in, he poured on the
floor
A bushel or more from his goodly
store
OF choice. potatoes.
The widows heart leaped up for joy,
Her face was haggard and wan nc
more;
"Now,'' said the deacon, "shall we
pray?"
"Yes," said the widow, ''now, you
may"
And he kneeled him down on the
sanded floor,
Where he had poured his goodly store
And such a prayer the deacon prayed
AS never before his lips essayed;
No longer embarrassed, but free and
full,
He poured ont the voice of liberia
soul,
And the widow responded, aloud
"Amen!'
But said no more of potatoes.
And would you, who hear this simple
tale,
Pray for the poor, and praying, ''pre
vail"
Then preface your prayers with aim
and good deeds;
Search out the poor, their wants ant
their needs,
Pray for peace, and grace, and spiritua
food,
