The following good advice TO teainsters
has been published in the form Of a SNOWY
poster, and sent out by the Massachusetts,
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. It is signed by Daniel II. Blan-
chard, and endorsed by several veterinary
surgeons, agents of railway and express
companies, and ny Cbas. A. Currier, special
agent of the society.
WHAT CONSTITUTES GOOD DRIVER.
/. A man who sees that good care is TAX
en- of his horse in the stable, by being well
fed with wholesome food, Of cracked corn,
and oats, with plenty of good hay.
Potatoes, or carrots, may be given once
or twice a week to good advantage.
See that he is kept clean, warm aud COM
Portable, with plenty of bedding.
A piece of rock salt should always he
left in the manager.
.. He should see that his harness Is
kept son and clean, particularly the inside
of The collar. which ought always TO be
smooth, as the perspirailou, when dry,
causes irritation, and is liable to produce
gals on the shoulder.
The collar should fit closely, with space
enough at tie bottom TO admit mans
hand. Iftoo large it has the bad effect of
drawing the shoulders together.
On no consideration should team, or
any work hor-e be compelled to wear
martin gale as il draws the head down and
prevents him from getting into an easy and
natural position.
The check-rein may he used, but only
tight enough to keep the head in natural
position, and it should never be wound
around the names.
See that the names are buckled tight
enough at the top to bring the draught iron
near the centre of the collar. II too low, II
not only interleres with the action of the
shoulder, but gives the collar an uneven
bearing.
Caution should be taken that the girt is
not buckled too tight, particularly on string
teams, for when the traces are straightsn-
ed, ii has the tendency to draw the girt
against the belly, and distress the horse.
8. See that the horse is kept well shod
with a good stiff shoe, always calked at Toe
and heel on the hind feet, as 1t is there
where all the propelling power comes from
when heavily loaded.
Keep the Rect good and strong, by not al
lowing them to be cut away too much hy
the blacksmith.
L. The best of judgment should be used
in loading, taking into consideration the
condition of the street. and the distance TO
be travelled.
Never overload, for by so doing, you on
ly distress, strain, and discourage your
horse, and do him more injury than you
can possibly gain by oarryingl the extra
load.
When your load is hard 10 pull stop Of
ten, and give your horse chance TO
breathe.
No good driver will ever resort 10 the
cruel practice of whipping or beating bis
horse. A light whip may be carried, but
there is seldom use for it. Much more can
be accomplished by kind treatment and
good judgment.
Remember the horse Is Il very inielii-
gent, proud, sensitive, noble animal, the
most useful known to man, and Is deserv-
ing of the'greaest kindness.

MISCELLANEOUS.

"A railroad worked by ropes Is TO be

Advocates OF fioggng in schools assert
that youth cannot be properly educa'eu

Passengers to the Pacific by rail break

see pear and peach trees in blossom.
Samuel Greenhalgh of Orange has just

thrown upon the side.track in consequence
of misplaced switch.
"A member OF the Ohio Legislature Wis

The latest thing in dolls is young la
dy of tinted wax, who, when wound up
and given a high chair at the table, reaches
out her arms, seizes a bit of bread and
slowly puts it in her mouth. When she
has done this a certain number of times It's
necessary TO open her back, remove the
food and wind her up again. Would that
human beings could be relieved Of indi-
gestion in the same way.

Any lady wishing an escort has only TO APP
ply to the president Of the society, naming
the evening, and young man is detailed
for the purpose. As soon as young man
becomes engaged he must withdraw from
the organization.

spruces and other Evergreens

cannot learn that, after the fashion that
made the planting Of Lombardy poplars
general there was similar rage for any
particular species until the advent of the
fir and spruce epidemic. This was anoth-
err public misfortune for when either one
has been planted near house, and has at
tanned the height OF twenty or thirty feet, il
becomes a nuisance, Collecting the dnst OF
the roads, shading the house in Winter
when il needs the sun and light, always
gloomy in its hues, and awkward in its
motions. When il has attained maturity it
becomes gaunt and meagre of foliage, aud
destitute orthat symmetry whichwas its only
beauty when young. This senseless rage
for planting spruces has not yet declined.
Beautiful deciduOus trees have frequently
been removed to make room for spruces
and other everGreens which are in zap
proved taste" l always admired the wis
dom of a neighGor of mine, who, after buy
ing house, cut down all the spruces in Its
Enclosures, because they interfered with
the prosperity of soMe good fruit trees. By
this act he improved The appearance no less
than the value of his grounds. Utility is
better guide than aesthetics, even in mat
ters of taste. Whenever l see Il group Of
venerable apple trees permitted to occupy

think there may be Claude or Salvador

THE CATTLE QUESTION IN CALIFORNIA.
The San Francisco Bulletin doubts
whether million dollars will cover all the
losses of horses, cattle and sheep in Califor-
mia, the past winter. The losses of cattle
are estimated at 20 per cent, of sheep some-
what less. This results from pasture
famine, long and cold storms, and want
of shelter and care. The stock men are
generally opposed TO the innovation OF
protecting their stock in the winter, saying
there are not more than two years in ten
when they need it, but, if they begin, they
will always have to do ii, while the cattle
become less hardy and more dependent on
shelter. Many stock-raisers, however, are
dissatisfied with this argument, to say moth
ing of its cruelty, and will hereafter pro-
vide against exposure.

His friends, the friends of education, pro.
pose to raise memorial TO him, by plac-
ing upoA a strong and enduring basis the

CROPS IN THE GULF STATEs.-There APP
pears 20 be a promising outlook for the
crops IN the Gulf States the present year.
There is an abundance of labor and prices
rule lower than heretofore, while the poll
cy adopted by the planters of hiring on
shares rather than on monthly wages has
clea red the plantations of idlers. The wis
dom OF diversity OF crops is perceived,
and the raising of corn, wheat, oats and
rice is receiving needed attention. In num-
Der of localities corn will be most relied
upon, and in many quarters it is already
up, presenting a flourishing appearance.
In consequ ence of the large exodus of ne
groes from certain parts of the country
hole plantations are given up TO stock
raising. Altogether complete revolu-
tion in the agricultural system of these
States has occurred, and the farmers are in
excellent spirits at the cheering prospect
the change has placed before them.

AN IRATE GRANGER.-There was very
curious passage in the House, on Friday,
with respect to an immemorial usage by
which the House has set apart front bench
in the gallery for the use of the Speaker, to
BIO used in his discretion for his family, or
for visiting strangers of distinction, to
whom il is proper to extend the courtesies
of the House. The custom is much older
than the present House building itself. A
Western member, affiliated with the Gran
gers, some days since endeavored 10 force
his family into that seat, and was prevented
that the liberty of an American Granger was
inlringed, and consigned, in very coarse
language, the doorkeeper 20 the "Demni-
ton Bow Vows" aud made himself con-
spicuous about it, The subject having
been called to the attention of the House,
the House, with but one dissenting voice,
that of this Granger, McNulta himself, de-
clared 1t to be the sense Of the House that
that bench should be forever set apart for
the purpose indicated, in accordance with
the immemorial usage. The Granger, who
was very vehement upon the floor at what
he called an infringement of his liberty as
Congressman, was overwhelmed with
confusion and the Kisses of the House,
when, at the end of his vulgar protest,
Speaker Blaine invited him to preside over
the House as Chairman of the COMMITTEE of
the Whole

Iowa produces some extraordinary legisla-
tors. Two members of her House of Rep
resentatives have returned portion of the
salary allowed them by law on the ground
that they had received more than their SER
vices were worth. With a fine sense of
appropriateness, they desired that the mon
ey be added 10 the fund for the support Of
the insane. How sumptuous the insane
would fare every day if members OF Con-
gress would contribute for their support all
that they receive over aud above what their
services are worth. -BoStoH Globe.
