The Bazaar is excellent. Like all the periodi-
Gals which the Harpers publish, it is most ideally
well edited, and the class of readers for whom
it is intended-the mothers and daughters in
average families-cannot but profit by its good
sense and good taste, which, we have no doubt
are to-day making very many homes bappier

observance Of the following is all that is
required: l. The fruit used should be

Balky Horses.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals. puts forth a set OF rules for
the treatment OF balky horses. which
rules, unfortunately, do not always work.
The best way is to have nothing TO do with
balhy horses. But, nevertheless. some
one OF these rules, as well as the hundred
others, do work in particular cases They
are as follows:
/. Pat the horse upon the neck. examine
the harness carefully, first on one side and
then on the other. speaking eneouraginsly
while doing SO; then jump into the wagon
and give the word 60; generally he will
obey.
/ ,. A teamster in Maine say. he can start
the worst balky horse by taking him out of
the shafts and making him go round in a
circle till he is giddy. II the fret dance of
this sort doesn't cure him. the second will
! }. To cure balky horse simply place
your hand over the horses nose and shut
of his wind until he wants to 90, and then
let him go.
4. The brain of a horse seems to enter
tain but one idea at time; therefore con-
tinned whipping only confirms his stub
born resolve. If you can, by all means.
give him subject to think OF, you will
generally have no trouble in starting him.
A simple remedy is to take q couple of
turns OF stout Irvine around the foreeg,
just below the knee, tight enough for the
horse to feel, and tie In bow knot. AT
the first check he will generally 90 dane
lug off and after going a short distance
you can get out aud remove the string. to
prevent Injury TO the tendon in your
further drive.
.. Take the tail of the horse between the
hind legs, and tie it by cord TO the sad
dlc-girth.
G. Tie string around the horses ear,
close 10 his head.

October is God month to SOW seeds
of forest trees. There are thousands OF
acres Of pasture land in our State which
are not worth fencing, which ought to be
sowed to forest trees. The seeds of the
maple may be gathered and sowed upon
the top of the ground, and in the spring
they will come up. No need of blowing
or breaking the soil. Many of these worth
less acres might in this way be seeded to
forests which would in few years become
valuable woodlands.
