The BUSINESS OUTLOOK 1ha
first time within remembrance, all the
commercial journals of the country unite
IN predicting more cheerful future for
business affairs. AT any rate merchants
have some cause for congratulation that
matters cannot by any possibility be
worse than they have been during the
past SIX months. A careful inspection
OF the crop reports can scarcely fail to
convince the most skeptical that the
hopes, based on plentiful supply of all
kinds of produce, have surely some
foundation. From all parts of the Union
the news is particularly good in this re-
spect, while in far-off California they
expect a crop almost sufficient, as if
were, to supply the whole world with
food Some contend that such an ey-
traordlnary product will work only TO
our disadvantage. We say, by no means;
cheap living makes good times and is
their necessary accompaniment. Money
the moving power, also bids fair to be
remarkably easy, already in the Eastern
markets it has become drug, and bus-
mess men west feel its good influence
through the liberality of Eastern credi-
tors with regard to collections.
While we do not predict an unusually
good fall trade, We think we can safely
say that business will be such that no
one can justly complain. Detroit Jour

FLIES As VEHICLES OF CoNT.GTov -
Physicians have sometimes expressed tbe
opinion that the infectious matter of
smallpox, cholera and other diseases
may be, at least occasionally, conveyed
from house to house by the common
house-tly. One is reminded of this theory
by the account published of the death
OF a promising young man in Berlin. He
was student in a gymnasium there
lie had small, hardly observable ulcer
or sore on one of his cheeks, and while
in the turning-hall attached to the insti-
tuition, fly lighted on tie sore. The
moment after it was driven off n sborn
prlcklng sensation was felt in the place.
the lace began TO swell, the young man
took to his bed and in a few days WAS
dead. We suppose it was a common
house fly, and of course we must also sun-
pose that it must have imported a pois-
onous substance which did not ORIGINATE
with itself. Such accidents are of eourse
very rare, and a case of the kind seems
worthy of mention if only to illustrate
The possibility and thus point out the
heeu oil care regarding some matters
which are supposed to take care Of tber-
selves.

Abuse Of Old Horses.

y Acorrespondent has the following suit
able remarks on this topic:
feel a deep sympathy for old horses
1t Is common practice in this country
to make old horses breed the colts and
too often work with them for years. 1t
l. hard for an old horse 10 work with a
colt or young. active horse. Old horses,
like old men, are often capable Of per
forming more hard work than some
young ones, who can beat them for an
hour OF more The old man wants 10
take a moderate jog, and can hold out
all day; but a little irnrnoderate eyertion
for a few minutes unstring, him perIIa p
all day An old horse, driven at the Top
Of his speed for few miles, spOils the
days journey The old horse should not
haul his load 10 town and then trot back.
Ii does not injure him a. much 10 do
heavy work with slow motion a. 10 DO
light jobs at the last gait. Again, the
old horse requires more time 10 eat his
meals and rest his nerves OF all ami
mails the horse is the worst abused. Al
though he has been our faithful and
profitable servant, yet in his old age the
lash is applied to force out his youthful
vigor. The older he grows the more he
feels the lash He is often turned out
doors to give place to the colts. Too Of
ten the neglect and abuse he is subject
to, because he is a little old, results in
greater loss than is made up in care of
young horses. The last part of the
horses life may be more profitable. if
rightly used, than the first part.
There is more comfort and less dam
ger in working old horses. We under
stand and they understand us; and we
should be willing to conform in some
measure to their wishes Ii would be
more humane as well as profitable to use
them as they should be and as long as it
would pay, and then take them out and
shoot them down. But the practice is
to knock them about as much as they
VIII Dear 10 pay well, and then trade |
them off to some more inhuman wretch |
than ourselves. The old servant has |
gone among strangers, and lac receives |
no sympathy in his last extremity. We |
10 not blush to say that a man who has |
enjoyed the profits and pleasures of a
good horse, as long as he was profitable,
md then shoves him off among inhu-
nan jockeys, is an inhuman, treacher-
'us and suspicious friend. The man
Who does so, without regard to how the
lorse may be cared for, is, in my estima-
ion, of suspicious character: and I
ever see horses abused so as to excite
ity but my sympathies are directed to
he mans wife and children also. if he
as them.

WHAT'S BLooDED HoRSE?-He is n
Ecrse having more than an ordinary
amount of drops or pounds of blood in
his system in proportion to his size and
weight. This large amount of blood
acts upon his system through a large
heart, and cOrrespondingly large arteries
and veins; and, put in motion, it acts in
driving him to speed, the same as an in
creased amount of fire under the boiler
drives off greater amount of steam
and makes the ma chinery 30 faster. This
large amount of blood also acts in reGn-
ing the skin, making it and the horse

fines and gives elasticity TO the muscles

making strong the valuable parts. and

IENDER-FOoTED HORSES. "A Old man
who had much. experience in handling
and dealing in horses for more than half
a century, said TO me recently that he
had never known a horse to get fender

yard, or in boxed stall. That turning
around and treading with their forward
feet In the manure, keep them constant

perfectly reasonable tome. l have no

shovel, L moved the wet sLavings under

SWARMING BEEs.-A bee-keeper gives
the following plan to prevent a swarm
OF bees from getting away from the hive,
with the statement that after ten wears
experience he has never known it to fail
but once: As soon as they show the first
symptoms of swarming, stop up some of
the outlets 10 the hive so as 10 force

AN AGRICULTURAL ODE.
WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT.

Far back in ages
The plow with wreaths was crowned
The hands Of kings and sagcs
Entwined the chaplets round.
Till men Of spoil
Disdained the toll
BY which the world was nourishcd.
And blood and pillage were the soil
In which their laurels flourishcd
Now the world her fault despair
The guilt that stains her story.
and wecDs her crimes amid the care
That form her earliest glorE
The throne shall crumblc,
The diadem shall wanc,
The tribes Of earth shall humble
The pride Of those who reign;
And war shall lay
His pOmp away;
The fame that heroes cherish,
The glory earned in deadly fray
Shall fade, decay and perish
Honor waits DER all the Garth,
Through endless generations,
The art that calls the harvest forth.
And feeds the cXpcctant nations.
