BREECHY HORSES.

The habit of jumping fences runs III iami-
lies, among horses, very remarkably, though
any colt we ever saw will easily take it up.
Ninety. nine horses In hundred as we use
them have no occasion to jump. and three-
foot fence will confine them after they are
four years old If they have up to that time
never learned to jump. In response to an
inquiry W. Fl OF the Western Farmer says :
TO prevent jumping, have found just two
ways effective. Buckle q surcingle around
the body, then the halter strap through the
tore legs to this tic SO that the horse cannot
get MS head above the point OF the shoulder
Second. Place upon the horse a common
halter with forehead strap, sew 10 this a
piece OF sheep skin the wool side next The
head and hanging low eI ough to compel
him to hold ur his head too high for spring
to enable him to see the top of the fence:
This latter suggestion we value as applicable
to colts to which the temptation to jump is
liable to De presented.

NEW PROCESS FLOUR.

y new flour is making its appearance in
the interior OF Minnesota by what is styled
the new process for purifying middlngs"-
a process thus lar kept secret. This -four
is heavy bodied and OF such consistency
that when thrown into the air i. does not fly
off in PARTICLES, but descepds into the hand IN
mass. Il requires one third more water
in mixing than in ordinary -four, and In
kneading it into dough more labor is required
The bread, it Is claimed, will remain fresh
for long time. The yield to the bushel of
gram Is not known. 1t is claimed that by
the NEW purifying process" it has been
found in Minnesota that Spring VIII eat can
be made into the highest price -four, ard
that the same can be done with other kinds
OF wheat. There are now about twenty
mills in Minnesota in which the new machin-
cry has been introduced.

DETECTION OF IMPURE WATEB

DETECTION OF IMPURE WATER
An English technical periodical points
out an easy way of testing whether
water is good and fit for general use. 1t
says:-Gcod water should be free
from color, unpleasant odor and taste,
and should quietly afford alatber with
a small quantity of soap. If halfa pint
o? the water be placed in perfectly
clean, colorless glass stoppered bottle,
fewgrains of the bestwhite lump sugar
addedand the bottle freely exposed to
the daylight in the window of warm
room, the liquid should not become
turbid, even after exposure for a
week or ten days. IF the water
becomes turbid, it is open to the
grave suspicion of sewage contamina
ton; but If it remain clear, it is
almost certainly safe; We owe to
Heisch this simple, valuable, but
hitherto strangely-neglected test.

EDITIONS WESTERN RuRAL:-I
have my man engaged in pruning my
apple orchard during the present
week. Some Of my visitors and
neighbors question the propriety Of
this. What does the WESTERN
RURAL say about it?
E. TALLMADGE.
Glen Beu1dh. WSs., AMg. 9th.
-Ycur friends were perfectly right
in advising you not to prune. Ia
passing through an orchard, of course
we should remove a twig or branch
that was seriously interfering with,
or abrading ano> her, at any time; but
to give general pruning now, at the
time when the foliage is pertectlng
and celebrating the sap for the next
season, is highly disastrous. Summer
pruning should beperformed not later
than Midsummer.
The regular annual pruning, if
indeed such be advisable, should be
performed in Autumn, after the
foliage has fallen, or early in the
Spring before the sap has started.
Summer pruning is performed to
induce fruitfulness, but your treeshaye
now almost perfected their buds for
the next season. You carnot, there
fore, change the conditions of these
buds,a and the leaves are all wanted 10
elaborate the sap that is now being
hardened into the next years wood.
La the West, as rule, trees require
less pruning than East, and at the
East still less than in England. Take
out interfering limbs, and keep the
head otthe tree in shape. This accomp-
lished, the denser the fuliage the
better, if all parts of the tree have a
proper amount of light Western

LARGE or SMALL POTATOES FOR SEED
-EDMUND REYNoLDs, Manchester, Gotta
rio county, New York, has tried many ex.
poriments 10 determine the comparative
value Of large and small potatoes for seed.
H. has planted them in juxtsposiiion, in
the same row, and in adjoining rows, and
found hat when planting was followed by
moist and favorable weather, therewas bat
little difference in results: but when
dTou'h followed planting, the large pOia.
toes took the lead, and held i, through the
season, yielding much larger crops. We
are satisiied that the general experience of
potato growers unite IN the conclusion that
planting the smaller POTATOES, Of any vari.
ETY., year after year, causes its deterioration
That il will come TO yield less aud less in
quantity, Of potatoes smaller in size, and
inferior 10 quality. We are fully persuad-
cd ibat this theory accounts for the fact
that nearly every variety Of potatoes origi-
mated IN this country duriog the last half
century have defefiorHied so rapidly as to be-
come unproftable within about 10 years af
ter being thrown upon the market. We are
not prepared to say that it would be true
economy to always plant large potatoes for
seed. When POTATOES ara high in the spring,
it adds considerably to the cost Of seeding,
to use large potatoes. When potatoes are
low il would undoubtedly be economical to
use large seed and where the general crop
is grown from small seed we would plant
enough large to raise our seed potatoes for
the next year.
