referred to:
The harness firm of n. J. Demarest

Yesterday put the finishing touches
upon the set of trotting and track
harness to be presented to Governor
Stanford, of California. 1t will be re-
membered that at the beginning of the
trotting season OF 1873 Messrs. DEM
Arrest & Go. offered d set of harness, of
the kind just finished, to the horse
that made the fastest time on the
American turf during the season. At
the Sacramento Trotting Meeting, at
Agricultural Park, during the Calitor

Der, 1878, Occldent, belonging to Gov

a mile in 2:17l. OcciGent won the
plate at the first trial, and went around
Che conrse without making break.
! He has, therefore, been admired
| by all the sporting journals as the

verdict has been unc0ntradicted,
Messrs. Demarest d Co. now feel war
ranted in fulfilling their promise.
| The harness destined for this meteor
of the West is remarkably plain, but
the material and workmanship can
not be surpassed. The mountings are

it is as soft and piiable as a glove.
The harness is valued at 500, and with
ordinary care will last half century.

bition until Friday, when it will
be forwarded to Governor Stanford.

of affording the best possible facilities

Boa Pastures OF California.


The great advantages that Southern
California offers to The bee culturist,
are beginning 0 be known and ac-
linowledged The Sacramento Record
Of the 2ist has tic following en- the
subject:
The bee feed of The middle and
northern portions of this State seems
TO be very variable and uncertain.
Some seasons there seems to be q
plenty of honey, and of a very good
quality, while in others the honey is
scarce and very poor. In the southern
counties of the State, however, espe-
cially in San Diego, bee pasture is
very extensive, and, we believe, uni
fornly good. The honey collected in
that portion of the State is very white
and OF uneXceptionable flavor. Owing
to these facts eli of our extensive api-
aries are moving south and concentrate
ing mostly in Los Angeles and san
Diego. One firm, HARRISON & Clark,
formerly of Sacramento, have, if we
recollect Alright, over 1000 hives, or
stands, in San Diego county. This
firm have, besides supplying a very
large amount of honey for eonsump-
ton in our own State the past season,
shipped several tons to the Atlantic
slope cities. The enterprise has proved
a good and profitable one, and the
trade will undoubtedly prove extern
sive at no distant day. The moving
away from this portion Of the state Of
so many bees will be advantageous to
those that remain by giving better
feed. This should encourage farmers
to keep n few hives. There are but
few things that will pay better on the
farm, in proportion TO the investment
and care or trouble, than few hives
of bees.

How to Drive Sheep.

Like many other persons, | handled
sheep a long time before acquiring
the art Of driving them to the best
advantage, when the sheep are turned
on the road without any help to AS
sist me. The first day l drove eight
to ten miles, and got them in good
pasture at night. The next morning,
after getting under way, found the
sheep were very hard to drive; they
wanted to lie down under every
shade, and l labored hard all day,
and only made seven or eight miles
on the journey; and this was my ex-
perience for three or four days. | be-
gan at last to reflect rs to the cause
of the sheep driving so badly, and it
occurred to me the reason was that
they had filled themselves during the
night and wanted to lie down and
chew their cud, instead of travelling
on full stomach. | resolved to
change my tactics at the next stop
ping place. Accordingly when night
came, instead of turning them into Il
pasture field as heretofore, | put them
into nice clean barnyard, and let
them rest all night instead Of eating.
The result was that next morning
when they were turned on the road |
had to get before them to restrain
them. | found it necessary to use a
long pole to keep them back, so mar
vellous was their anxiety to rush
ahead. The reason for this change
was simply owing to the fact that the
sheep had had good nights rest,
and were fresh and hungry.-Go Cor.

The Atrocity of Binders for Horses.

We never could see what vice or
deformity is III horses eye that
should make it necessary to cover it
over and shut out its owner from at
least two-thirds Of its rightful vision.
The poets say that old age looks
backward; but never heard such an
ldiosyncrasy charged upon the horse.
The theory that he is less apt to be
frightened when shut out from every
thing behind him, we suspect to be
all fallacy, else saddle-horses and war
horses would be duly brinded. Every
horse is as familiar with his own car
riage as with his own tail, and as far
as his ''personaF fortitude is con-
cerncd, is no more disturbed
by one than by the other. AS
for the scare-crows that come up be-
hind, they are mostly so familiar to
the animal that the more fully the
horse can perceive the more quietly
does he submit to their approach.
Then it is such pity to cover up one
of the most brilliant features of this
most brilliant creature. The horse
has borne such hand in the civiliza-
ton of this rough-and-tumble world
that it seems not as much a cruelty
as a discourtesy, as well as a disgrace,
to hide his form with embarrassing
toggerv. No wonder we estimate
the force Of the world as horse pow
er; no wonder the Romans and the
Germans, each in their own language
designate their aristocracy as riders;
no wonder their descendants make
chivalry synonym for their highest
virtues. Let the horse be given his
due, and unblinded. The check rein
is another nuisance in Sarnessing
ware which has almost entirely dis
appeared from England, the army
having at last given it up by order of
the commandments, Sir George
Burgoyne, all honor to him.-Hua-

Pumpkins as Cow Feed.

We do not hear or read so much rs
formerly about the necessity of hav-
ing ones lands analysed by some
protesting chemist before we can pos
sibly know its value for farming pur-
poses, though at one time this was
very much insisted on by those who
supposed farming as science was
but just in its infancy. The fact soon
came out that there was something
in plant life which chemistry could
not reach, and which secmedto set all
chemical rules at defiance. 1t is the
same in animal as in plant life. The
chemist takes the dead animal, and
finding the structure made up of GER
tain elements he examines the food,
and those articles in which he finds
the greatest abundance he regards as
the best for food. But experience,
our great teacher, does not always
find these conclusions come out true.
Agassiz told us that fishes contained
more of the elements required to
make brains than any other kind Of
animal food; and, by inference, he
taught that those who would be
bright and intellectual should eat
largely Of fshy food: yet we are
quite sure if hundred men were
taken at random from those who use
fish largely and a hundred from those
who never or rarely touch them we
would find little difference in the
smartness of either class. We might
make similar comparisons between
peoplewho eat more animal food than
others; of those who eat mostly veg
etables and fruits; and so on of many
other distinctions. a tolerably large
acquaintance with human beings has
told lis Of how little value all these
special considerations on various
foods are as general thing. SO,
when these principles are brought up
in our management Of farm ANIMALS,
we regard them us Of little value.
Experience we regard as of far more
value than chemical analysis, no mat
ter how carefully made.
We are moved to these remarks
just now by reading statement that
some chemist has been Analysing the !
pumpkin, and finds that it contains
no nourishment whatever; and so it |
is not worth while to grow it as food |
for stock. We are quite sure that
those who have ever grown them for
cows would not care to be without |
them if it were at all possible to have
them grown. For the writer's part,
he does not think stock Of dairy
food complete without the root-cellar
is full of pumpkins. 1t may be that
it is only the watery juice that is
by the COW. Whatever it is,
there is assuredly something in it
which renders it an article Of much
value as winter cattle feed. The
fact that chemical analysis cannot
find out what that something is does |
not lessen the value Of every day eX-
pcricnce.-Eoraey's Press

A Few Needed Small Things.

There are a great many farms that
are supplied with the best of all kinds
of large field implements, such as
reapers and mowers, horse-rakes,
horse-pitchforks, hay-loaders, gang
and single plows, cultivators, planters,
harrows, markers, and so on through
the list, but yet you cannot find about
them many little conveniences, trihing
so far as cost is concerned, that saves
time and labor, and do away with
many of the vexations that beset the
craft. How many farms are well
supplied with ladders for fruit-picking,
mounting the house OF barn, or with
step-ladders for inside use? The
garden, or even the ordinary canal
wheclbarrow is not found with any
great frequency, yet they are exceed
ingly convenient at most seasons of
the year. The wagon.jack is another
little thing that finds welcome place
in the consideratc farmers hands.
The farm scale should not be for
gotten, neither should the KIT of car
penter's tools, including a plane OF
two, saws, chisels, etc. We only
enumerate few of the many little
articles or tools not often found but
always needed, and call upon readers
to fill out the list with all the small
contrivances that they have invented,
or whose usefulness has been proven
by others. Another thing, when pur-
chasing these things always get the
best; they may cost 4 little more at
the start, but their durability more
than repays. When got, beware of
the borrower. Choose your custom
ers in this respect.
