Sowing Plaster.

\ correspondent Of the Country
Gentleman writes: Recently l saw
a plan of sowing this fertilizer, new
to me, that was efficient and very cx-
peditious. Several bushels were
placed in the rear end Of wagon
box; the sower sitting Oh stool or
what is easier, placing his knees in
the plaster, and facing the rear end
of the box. AS the team moves
along, about ten feet from the fence,
the sower fills his right hand with
plaster, throws it quickly to the left;
as the body moves to the right, fills
the left hand with plaster and hurls
it to the right, and continues thus al
ternately. An active boy can by
this plan sow more plaster in half Il
day than two strong men; and with
few moments practice SOW il
equally AZ even. If the ground is
quite hard it will answer to SOW
plaster in this way OH spring sown
grain; but it is especially recon-
mendcd for clover ground. a STRIP
of twenty feet in width is sown II,
each passage across the field in any
direction, SO that the dust may not
fly on the horses; the wagon tracks
being sufficient guide tor the re
turn trip.

In days travel, this would make q
gain OF ten miles, and the trained
horse would have accomplished forty
miles as against the thirty miles for
the unframed one, and this just as
easily to the horse of spirit as to the
one with the slower gait. If the
horse have not the mechanical struc-
turc for this gait, of course he cannot
do it. Having it, it may be brought
out Just as easily as = trotting or rum
ming gait; and if premiums were given
for this purpose at our Agricultural
Fairs, it would be found that individ-
ual horses would be able to make, not
only five miles an hour, but some Of
them six. The natural fast walker,
when trained, will even do given
amount of work, at an increased
pace, easier than at the slow pace
This we know from experience.
The energy displayed among all
classes of breeders has been directed
constantly to reduce and degrade the
walking gait, and, as . consequence
we find, each year, fewer and fewer
fast walking horses. This spirit has
pcrvadcd our fair rings until now it
is difficult to find premium offered
for the fastest walking horse. In
looking over the premium lists al.
ready received by us for 1874, en-
bracing nearly allthc Western States,
We find only two premiums offered
for walking horses, one by the Kan
s:,s City, Mo-, Industrial Exposition,
and the other by the Northeastern
Iowa Agricultural Society. We are
glad to be able to chronicle these
two, and hope that the number may
be yearly increased until the fast
walking horse shall at least be re-
garded on a par with other road and
working horses. A great error has
been made in ignoring this most val
liable Of all gaits of the horse. Ger
tainly reform is needed in this dircc-
tion.- Western Rur0i.
