Balky Horses.

The society for the prevention OF
cruelty to animals put forth the follow
ing rules for the treatment of balky
horses, which will bear reproduction
l. Pat the horse upon the neck ex-
anime the harness carefully, first on one
side and then on the other, speaking en-
couragingly while doing so; then jump
into the wagon and give the word go
generally he will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says 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 first dance of this sort doesn't cure
him, the second will.
8. To cure a balky horse, simply
place your hand over the hor, els nose
and shut off his wind until he wants to
go, and then le- him go.
4. The brain of the horse seems to en-
terrain but one idea at a time therefore
continued whipping only confirms his
stubborn resolve. If you csn by any
means give him a new subject to think
of, you will generally have no trouble
in starting him. A simple remedy is tO
take a couple of turns of stout Irvine
around the fore leg, just below the
knee, tight enough for the horse to feel,
and tie in a bow knot. At the first
check he will generally go dancing off,
and after going short distance, you car
get out and remove the string to prevent
injury to the tendon in your furthel
drive.
5. Take the tail of the horse between
the hind legs, and tie it by a cord to the
saddle-girth.
6. Tie string around the horses eal
close to his head.

The Bamboo Tree.


Probably this tree subserves more
purposes of usefulness than any other
in the whole range of nature. The In
dian obtains from it part of his food,
many of his household utensils, and q
wood at once lighter and capable of
bearing greater strains than heavier
timber of the same size. Besides, in
expeditions in the tropics under the
rays of vertical sun, bamboo trunks
have more than once been used as bar
rels, in which water much purer than
could be preserved in vessels of any
other kind, is fresh for the crew. On
the western coast of Southern Asia,
the bamboo furnishes all the materials
for the construction of houses, at once
pleasant, substantial and preferable to
stone, which the frequently recurring
earthquakes bring down upon the heads
of the owners. The fact that the bam-
boo is hollow has made it eminently
useful for a variety of purposes-it
serves as a measure for liquids, and if
fitted with lid and bottom, trunks
and barrels ale quite frequently made
of it. Even small boats very often are
made of the largest trunks, by strength
ening them with strips of other wood
where needed. In one day they OBJ
tain the height of several feet, and with
the aid of microscope their develop
ment can be easily watched. But the
most remarkable feature about the BAN
boo is their blossoming. With all this
rapidity of growth they bloom only twice
in century, the flower appearing at the
end of fifty years. Like other grasses,
they die after having borne seed. The
highest of the bamboo is the Sammot.
In tracts where it grows in the greatest
perfection, it sometimes rises to the
height of one hundred feet, with stem
only eighteen inches in diameter at the
base. The wood itself is only an inch
in thickness.

The scalpers" and their Trade

A new and thrifty trade seems to have
lately sprung up in various parts of the
country in the shape of selling railroad
tickets at secondhand. 1t Is said that
there are now some forty offices in this
country where tickets over any road,
leading from the city in which the Office
is located, may be bought at rates lower
than the company's. No Partially is
shown. This is how it works, tickets
of every road being ON hand A person
in New York wishing to go to Cincinnati
can buy ticket for $40. Because of
competition, ticket from New York to
Chicago, via Cincinnati, can be had for
$22. The fare from Cincinnati to Chi
cago is SO. Suppose the Chicago ticket
is purchased, the holder of it is not com
PEELED to visit Chicago. On reaching
Cincinnati he stops. he has paid out
50 more than he need to have done, but
he has in possession a ticket which at
any time will take him to Chicago, and
which is thus equivalent to &c. An
office in Cincinnati will pay him 81 for
this ticket. and await purchaser as SO.
Again Tickets are often purchased at
the offices of railroad companies, which,
for unseen reasons, are not used, and
these come in to swell the business of
the brokers' offices.

Observation-Disclosures in Arkansas.

The most relentless industry of the
Springs is the capture of tarantulas and
centipedes to sell to visitors. The
tarantula is horrible hairy spider, i'm
mense in size, and very poisonous. The
centipede is a long worm, with innu-
merable horned-feet. The bite of a

that of the centipede is painful. Meth
er will attack man, but, on the contra
ry, will get out of the way as rapidly as
possible, but each has a disgusting
habit of getting into houses, and lurk-
ing in places where they are liable to be
trodden on, or clasped unawares in the
fingers, in which event they are heard
from. In the Hot Springs vernacular
they are trantlers" and "Santa Fes."
The reptile hunter, carrying with him
several glass jars, explores the noun
tain sides, turning over such stones as
look promising, and when he finds a
"Santa Fe" or a trantler," he drives
it in the mouth of the jar, and closes it
up. The reptiles are killed, preserved
in alcohol and sold to visitors. The
prices fuctuate, as a matter of course.
The holder will ask an outrageous price
and take what he can get. / have seen

them go a begging at the shameful

rates even the poorest of men could

mems offered for sale gives an impression
that the country swarlns with these
poisonous reptiles. But the fact is they

one thousand miles in the vain endeavor

day, about two inches in length, but it
got away. While setting on the piazza
of the Central one evening, I saw some
thing black, and apparently about the
size of two weeks old chicken, run
across the road, and under the dresses
of a couple OF ladies who were walking
along. There was q succession of
shrieks, but the two ladies were game,

hideous in its apps arance. Likewise
Mr.. Joseph t. Long, whe had room at

night from a sweet dream of peace by
female shrieks and cries for help from

WILD FLowERs IN THE GARDEN
Every garden of any pretense to beauty
should have its little hooks and corners
for small, wild and exotic plants. These
spots should not be models of neatness
in the way of handsomely laid walks or
clean, well-cultivate beds, but rough,
wild character may be aimed at in
stead. Old stumps, stone piled here
and there, over which ivies, money
wort, myrtle, and our American creeper
may be encouraged 20 ramble in all
their native freedom. OF course, large
trees shonld be near, to cast shade,
and partly hide it all, but among the
interstices between the large objects,
plant the little wild flowers and ever
green shrubs, such as rhododendrons,
kalmias, hOllies, wintergreens-not for
getting the trailing arbutus. To these
may be added our wild ferns, moccasin
flowers, pitcher-plsnts, and other beau
tiful denizens of the woods. Many of
these are difficult to transplant by ordi-
nary methods, but can be safely re-
moved during the winter months when
there is no snow upon the ground.
Take an old ak and with it chop out a
ball of earth containing the roots of
the plants, and carry the whole home
and set out carefully. A little uufrozen
soil can usually be obtained to put
around and over the clump of roots
when again set out. Even larger ever.

WHEN To Cur GRASS FOR HAY.-Only
those farmers who have pet theory on
the subject now hold that it is best to
postpone haymaking until the grass is
thoroughly ripe. This idea, no doubt.
arose from the notion the taller the
grass the more bulk and the more nn-
triment it will afford for stock. To this
was added belief that, after cutting.
the hay should be allowed to remain in
the field until thoroughly dry, the dan
ger being that, if any dampness re-
manned, heat or mould would surely
ruin the crop after it was housed. The
most advanced farmers now hold mod
flied views IN regard to both these
points, and the practices of our ances-
tors IN this respect are fast going ont of
fashion. 1t is fixed law of all vepeta-
bic life that when plant has reached
maturity it begins to deteriOrate by re-
turning to the ground, or throwing off
into the surrounding air a percentage
of Its nutritious properties. This may
be good for the land, but it is not good
for the stock. The requisite return can
be made with better advantage to the
land after the animals have extracted
from she stalks all that is good for
them. The object of the hay-maker
should be to cut his crop Just when it
is at it's fullest vigor, when the stalks
are tender and juicy, and before they
have begun TO stiffen for a natural
death. taken at this time and prop
erly cut, the action of the sun will seal
up the exposed ends of the grass, bot
Ting up, as it were, the major part of
the sap inside the stalk. A few hours
of summer sunshine is enough for the
rest, and sweeter, more nutritious hay
was Rever made than results from such
early cutting and such storing of the
Christian Union.
