Walking Horses.

One of the most desirable and
valuable gaits for a horse is a
walk, and it should be the aim
to first deyelope this gait in the
handling of the colt. The good
walker will always make good
time on the road when a days
journey is to be made, without
wearying himself, while the slow
moper must be constantly kept
on the trot if time is to be made.
A horse that will walk five miles
per hour will go as far in a day,
confined to this gait, as an ordin-
ary horse can be driven when
kept half of the time to the trot,
and with much greater ease 10
himself. If one-half the pains
were taken by farmers boys to
make fast walkers of the young
sters on the farm that is usually
taken to make them trot, the re-
suit would be much more bene-
fetal, and we " ould find plenty
of teams that could go their five
miles an hour with ease. But
instead of this, as soon as the
colt is bridled, the sole aim of
athe boysp is to make a trotter
of him, and both gaits are spoil
ed.
Make the colts walk, boys ;
make them extend themselves in
a long, sweeping, square walk,
and don't be satisfied with any
thing less than five miles an hour.
When he'gets to trotting he will
go all the faster for this prelimi-
nary training to the walking gait,
and if he cannot trot fast enough
to beat Dexter or Goldsmith
Maid, or Occident, he will have a
gait that is invaluable for busi-
ness purposes. We hope to see
more attention paid to fast walk
ing than heretofore, and we re-
spectfully urge upon agricultural
societies the Importance Of offer
ing liberal prices for walking
horses at the fairs for the com
ing year.-Nationdl Liee Stock

A Bee Story.

The following Illustrations of
the power possessed by insects
to communicate their expert
ences to one another is given by
lady correspondent of the Lon
don Spectator: ~ was staying in
the'house of a gentleman who
was fond of trying experiments,
and who was bee keeper. Hav-
ing read in some book on bees
that the best and. most human
way of taking the honey without
destroying the bees lwasTto i'm
merse the hive for a few minutes
in tub of cold water, when the
bees, being half drowned, could
not sting, while the honey was
uninjured, since the water could
not penetrate the closely waxed
cells, he..resolved on trying the
plan. l saw the experiment tri-
ed. The bees according to the
recipe, were fished..o d..out!of the..wa-
ter after the hive had been, i'm
mersed a few minutes, and, with
those remaining in the hive, laid
On a sieve in the sun to, dry; but
as, by bad management, the ex-
pertinent hadlbeen tried too late
in the day, as thessun,was going
down, they were removed into
the kitchen, tolthe;greatindigna-
ton of the cook, on whom they
revenged their sufferings as soon
as the warm rays of the fire be-
fore which they were placed had
revived them. As she insisted
on their being taken away, they
were put back into their old hive,
which had been dried, ,Itogether
with a portion OF their honey,
and placed on.one of the shelves
of the apiary, in which were five
or six other strong hives full of
bees, and left for the night. Ear
ly the next morning my friend
went to look at the hive on which
he experimental the night before
but, to his amazement, not only
the bees from that hive were
gone, but the other hives were
all deserted-not a bee remain
ed in any of them. The half
drowned bees must, therefore, i'll
some way or other, have made
the bees understand the fate
which awaited Them"

Building "a Character.

A.lad Eon his way to school
stopped in front of a lot which
seemed to be cleared.-and graded
for building, just as a load OF lum-
ber was gbeing deposited upon
the spot.
"What are you going to, build
here, Mr.. Gracey ?" asked he ol
the builder whowas standing by.

ing, Thomas"

"Well, that is queer, Mr.. Ora
cey. How do you know you have
brought the right lumber if you
don't knowsswhat'' yourare going

If Mr.. Gracey was.in earnest
with Thomas, he must have been
a very foolish builder. And vet
there are many young people
who are getting ready to build
just as Mr.. Gracey did.

this character depends our sue.

Poultr y.Diet.

Cayenne pepper, mustard, OF

Cooking Eggs.

Young housekeepers have to ac.
quire knowledge of domestic du.
ties by careful graduation. A Mel.
son street bride having occasion
to boil eggs for breakfast, got the
desired time for their cooking,
and put them in. Her husband
liked his eggs soft, and three
minutes was the time required
to make them palatable. She
stationed herself in front OF the
clock, because she did not dare
to depend on her memory, and
stared at its face with awful in
tensity. Here her husband found
her when he came into the kitch
en-, and finding out what she was
doing asked her how long the
eggs had been in. "One min

of our readers will peruse the in
cident without feeling, accord
ing to the Eagle IA lady was walk
ing along the street when. she
met a little. girl, between two
and three years old, eyidently
lost, and crying bitterly. Taking
her by the hand, the lady. asked
her where she was going.
.I'm going down to find my
papa," was the reply, between
the sebs of the child.
aWhat is your papa's name p
asked the lady.
"His name is papa" replied
the innocent little thing.
@B1t what is his other name p
questioned the lady "what, does
your mamma call him ?"
"She calls him papa" persisted
the baby.
The lady then took the little
one by the hand, and led her
along, saying:
"Yeu had better come with me;
/ guess you came from this way"
"Yes, but l don't want to go
back; want to find my papa,''
replied the little girl, crying
afresh, as if her heart would
break.
"What do you want. with your
papag" asked the lady.
~ want to kiss him."
Just then a sister of the child
came along, looking for her, and
led her away. From subsequent
inquiries, it appeared that the

How to Make a Mustard-plas
ter

The ordinary way is to mix the
mustard with water, temperins
it with little flour; but such a
plaster as that makes is simply
abominable. Before it has hall
done its work it begins to blister
the patient, and leaves'him final
ly with a painful, flayed spot, af-
ter having produced far less eff
fectin a beneficial way than was
intended. Now, a mustard-plas-
ter should never make a blister
at all. When you make. mus
tard-plaster, then, use no water
whatever, but mix the mustard
with the white of an egg, and
the result will be aplaster which
will "draw" perfectly, bat will
not produce a blister even upon
the skin of an infant, no matter
how long it is allowed to remain
upon the part.
