BREAKING WILD HORSES.

EDITOR WESTERN RURAL:-I have
noticed some remarks of late in your
valuable paper on balky horses. One
correspondent thinks there is no use
in having balky horses; | think so
myself. If colt is always used to
being handled, and broken young by
thorough horseman and always
used by good horseman, he never
will balk but such men are scarce.
The Illinois correspondent is COR
rect about that "indentation." There
certainly is such thing as horse
phrenology; for one that is full be.
tween the eyes will be true and kind
unless he has been badly fooled, for
balky driver will spoil any horse.
A horse that is concave between the
eyes, or fiat and narrow between the
eyes has fretful, impatient disposi-
ton. A bump between the ears on
top of the head denotes life, if it rise
abrupt and high, ON the sides next
the ear; if low, the opposite temper
ament.
Ifyou want a horse with a good
disposition select one with full or
convex head, wide between the eyes,
and you can depend upon il he will
not balk with proper treatment. To
avoid horses baking if you see the
disposition, hold him and say "whoa"
if he want to start before you are
ready, try to accommodate him !;
make him think he is doing just as
you want him, and he will give up
his notions after while; but never
whip.
That wild mare that "Young
Jockey" speaks of can be broke to be
perfectly true, but if she have a
balky head, she will try to be mas
ter. / Lave broke such animals at
the age of ten and twelve years to be
perfectly submissive. Still, I do not
think they would submit TO all kinds
of treatment.
An improved way of Rtr"y {, ing
colts is to strap up one tore ley, tie
small rope around the neck, pass it
through the mouth and through a ring
10 the circlngle on the back pull
steady on the rope !; it draws the
horses head to the opposite side OF
the foot that is strapped up !; he
comes down gently on his knees,
then on his side without a struggle.
An experienced hand will throw a
horse without rope.

MEAN IN BUsINEss.-There is nc
greater mistake that business man
can make than to be mean in his bu-
siness. Always taking the half cent
for dollars he has made and is max,
ing. Such a policy is very much
like the farmer who sows three peck
of seed when be ought to have sown
five, and as recompense for the
meanness Of his sonl, only get ten
where he ought to have got fifteen
bushels of grain. Everybody has
heard of the proverb of ga penny
wise and pound foolish" A liberal
expenditure in the way of business is
always sure to be good invest.

HOW A QUAkERESS STOPPED
BORROWING.

The subject of borrowing and
lending came up in the course of
conversation with subscriber living
near Ithaca, when he suddenly re-
collected q funny Renaissance of
that character which had happened
in his own neighborhood. He said
he had a neighbor whose family
were great borrowers but not SO dis
tinguished as paymasters, they were
always borrowing, but seldom, if
ever, returning the exact amount bor-
rowed. An old Quaker lady, anoth-
er nelghbor, who had endured these
invasions for long time patiently,
hit upon very philosophical mode
of eventually putting stop to the
nuisance. Keeping her own counsel,
the next time her good man went to
town, he had separate and express
order to purchase pound of tea and
a new canister to put it in; as he
knew she already had plenty of tea
and also a canister, he was puzzled
to know what the old lady wanted
of more tea and a new canister, but
his questioning and reasoning elicit
ed nothing more than repetition of
the order.
"Jim, did / not tell thee to get me
a pound of the best tea and new
canister ? Now 60 along, and do as
told thee"
And 60 along he did, and when he
came home at night the tea and new
canister were his companions. The
old lady took them from him with
an amused expression on her usual
placid features, and depositing the
tea in the canister set it on the shelf
for special use. 1t had not long to
wait, for the borrowing neighbor had
frequent use for the aromatic herb
The good old lady loaned generous
ly, emptying back in the canister any
remittance of borrowed teas which
the neighbours conscience inclined
her to make. Time went on, an6
after something less than the one
hundredth time of borrowing, thu
neighbor again appeared for '.jus
another drawing of tea," when thu
visited tea, canister was brough
out and found to be empty, aud tn
good old lady and obliging neighbo
was just one pound of tea poore
than when she bought the new can
lister, which now only remained +
tell the story. Then she made lit
tie characteristic speech perhaps tn
first in her life; she said: "Tho1
seest that empty canister. filled
for thee with pound of my best tea
and / have lent all TO thee in drib
let's. and put into it all thou hast sen
me in return, and none but thysel

which arise from malarious, marsh, or

No one remedy is louder
called for by the necessities
OF the American people than
sure and safe cure for
= Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer,
with a perfect certainty that
1t will eradicate the disease, and with assur-
ance, founded on proof that no harm can
arise from its use in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention
is better than cure; for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This "CURE" expels
the miasmatic poison of Fever and Ague
from the system, and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first
approach of its premonitory symptoms. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and Ger.
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral; consequently it pro.
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ag'ue is not alone the con.
sequence of the miasmatic poison. A great
variety Of disorders arise from its irritation,
among which are Neuralgia, Rheuma.

"CURE" eXpels the poison from the blood
and consequently cures them all alike. tits

ally or daily while exposed to the infection,
that will be excreted from the system, and
cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity to
ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure; and few
will ever suffer from Intermittents if they
avail themselves of the protection this rem
edy affords.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid.
ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy,
stimulating the Liver into healthy activity,
and producing many truly remarkable cures,
where other medicines fail.

Our Railroad Difficulties.

II Is altogether useless for us now to befatc
Charles G.. Scott, Dcnchla. or any other man
for the part taken IN the letting of the con-
tract and the past management of the Little
Rock and Fort Smith Railroad Scott is no
more to blam,, il blame there Is, up to letting
the contract than Judge Turner, Rose or any
Of the BOARD OF Directors.
The question for Us to decide is, how can
the road be completed TO its terminus. We
can say openly that ii cannot be completed
by encouraging the Transportation Company
that secures to itself 20 cents profit for haul
ing goods. No railroad can make So much
and OF course. money being the god now
worslipped, no railroad will be built so long
as merchants patronize the company, known
as the wagon railroad" Let our merchants
patronizc rather the Neosho route, AMI thu.
sfarre ont the Beaumont company. II this i
not done, no railroad need be expected to Van
Buren for years yet to come. From the letter
of Mr.. Atkins any one can readily see, HAT
no ray Of hope for us cmanates from Boston.
Oliver, Page & Co. are making money as the
matter stands and they will not lelpus They
share no doubt in the profits of the Tran,por-
ta;ioa company and OF course they see moth
ing to complain of. From them We may hope
for nothing 50 long as the Transportation can
be kept up. Let us break hi. barrier down
and the road may be built in self-detcnce.

The State School Fund.

! Ii is not generally known, but it may be of
| Interest to state. that the revenue law OF 1873
repealed the State school tax. The clerks OF
the different counties will be instructed to
that eilect-Litt!e Rock Rcpublioaa.
1t ia pretty well known that there was no
provision In the revenue law of lS13by which
| \ State school tax could be levied hereafter,
but that the per cent formerly levied for such
purposes Is now merged in the ordinary tax
| for State purposes. We are informed that
| there Is some trouble about to arise In regard
to the tax collected for school purposes, that
has just been paid into the State treasury.
| The time has arrived when the State appor-
| tionment for school purposes shoule be made.
| AID this fund turned over to the County
treasurers There is an opinion or idea ex-
listing in the State treasury department that
this tund cannot be paid out ON account ofthe
repeating effect OF statutes passed BY the leg
ianture OF 1873, and that this fund must lie
dormant until provisions are made by some
lcgislaturc for the disbursement Of the same.
| IL such Is the case, 1t will work great
hardship MI over the state. Hundreds of
schools have been taught and teachers en-
ploycu, Eircd npon the expectation that this
/ iunt. sould be received aud appropriated to
the purposes &c. which II ". - levied and eol-
lect:d. The teachers hold warrants crawl
against this fund, and are to-day anxiously
awaiting the reception Of this fund by the
County treasurer.
We know that the spirit and intent Of the
law is that this fund shall be appropriated to
the sacred purpose for which it was paid by
the honest people Of the State. and not to be
locked up In the State treasury. thereby ap-
preciating and enhancing the value Of the
state scrip held by the ring ut Little Rock
We believe, also. that the effect OF the law
will be to compel the department to disbursc
this fund. We are informed by the Hon. g.
q. Latta, that us attorney for the treasurer of
Montgomery county, w. w. Sanders, ESQ., he
has been corresponding with the State super
intendent, Hon. j. G. Corbin aud Col. Henry
Page upon the subject that the State treasury,
In the absence OF Col Page, does not positive
ly refuse to pay this revenue out but init
mates that such will be the case.
We are informed that when positive re-
fusal Is made, he will institute proceedings
in the name of the treasurer of Montgomery
county. to compel the Stale treasurer 10 dis
burse this fund.-Hot Springs Times.
