Diversity Of Crops.

Farmers should cast about them now and
select their crops for next year with full
reference to having suitable diversity, SO
as not to risk too much on any one or more
productions. There is perhaps no business
wherein 1.-TWO strings TO ones bow are
more important than in farming. Other
pursuits have certain rnles which have
been founded in experience, and which the
shrewd man of business can take advan-
tase of with almost certainty OF success:
but we farmers cannot do this. We cannot
tell what will happen TO our crops Some
times it will be over-dry. sometimes over
wet; at others we are plagued with insects
bilgbts. rust. eie. Against none OF all these
do we ever get ANY hints To help Us to
guard. Troubles cu the farm never come
to everything alike. 1t i, one or more that
suffer. while Others are spared. But indie
pendently OF ali this the young iaimer
should never be cast downiby misfortune.
Ii is herein 50 many tail. Guard well
against putting too much in of any one
crop, and put in all you SOW or plant In the
best possible manner. and you have all the
chances strongly IN your favor. Never
risk too much on the throw of "A single dice. :
SAID an old man 10 his son, and the same
may be said in regard To risking on single
products. So diversity your crop that you
will have enough of each and all to supply
your own family wants in their season and
some TO sell each day or week to bring In
money as long a. you need it. Go to work
now. lay your plans. aud prepare all your
ground accordingly, and your next crop
will be your best since the war IDirigo

Treatment o. Shy:ns Eo-ses.

Shying generally arises from tinidty,
but sometimes it is united with cunning.
and induces the animal to assume fear OF
some object.for the sole purpose of finding
an excuse for turning aside. The usual
cause of shying is, doubtless, the presence
oi some object to which the horse has not
been accustomed. and il he has defective
eyes which render him shortsighted, 1t will
be difficult 10 convince him of the innocent
nature Of the novel object. There are end
less peculiarities in shying horses, some
being dreadfully alarmed by one kind of
object. which TO others is not at all formid
able. The best plan OF treatment, which
can be adopted, is to take as little notice
a> possible of the shying, and to be espec-

TANZY FOR BoTs-Thc Department Of
Agriculture publishes the following exper-
iments, which a gentleman from Georgia
tried and found effective in dispelling a
serious trouble in horses:
About thirty years ago friend lost by
bots very fine horse. He took from the
stomach of the dead horse about gill OF
bots, and brought them to my office to ex-
pertinent upon. He made preparations OF
every remedy he had heard, and put some
OF them into each. Most had no effect, a
few effected them slightly, but sage tea
more than anything else; that killed them
In fiiteen hours. lie concluded he would
Kill them by putting them into nitric acid,
but it had no more effect on them than wa
ter the third day they were as lively as
when put in. A bunch of tanzy was grow.
ing BY my Office. lie took handful of that,
bruised it, added q little water, squeezed
out the juice, and put some bots in; they
were dead in one minute. Since then have
had 1t given TO every horse. have never
known it to fail Of giving entire relief. Ny
friend had another horse affected with
the bots several years later. He gave him
the tanzy in the morning: the next morn
ing lie took up from the excretions three
halt pints OF bots"

God Bless the Farm.

God bless the farm-the dear old farm.
God bless its every rood.
Where willing hearts and sturdy arms
can win an honest livelihood
Gan from the coarse and fertile soil
Vim back recompense for toll.
God bless each meadow, field and nook.
Begemmed with fairest flowers,
And every leaf that's gently shook
BY evening breeze or morning showers;
God bless them all each leafs gem
In natures gorgeous diadem.
The orchards that, in early Spring,
Blush rich in fragrant flowers.
And with each Autumn surely bring
Their wealth of fruits in golden showers :
Like pomegranates on Aaron's rod.
! miracle from Natures God.
Aud may he bless the farmers home.
here peace and plenty reign;
No happier spot meath heavens high dome
Doth this broad beauteous earth contain.
han where secure from care and strife.
The farmer leads his peaceful life.
UnvcNed by toil and tricks for gain,
Tie turns the fertile mold;
ilcu >catters on the golden grain.
And rcaps reward 4 hundred fold:
Iir dwells where grace and beauty charm.
For God hath blessed his home and farm.

ed in the number OF those who give aims.
day and night, in private as well IS public.
He will find his reward. All his sins will
oe forgiven him, and never will any fear
come over him and dishonor his heart.
Observe your horse when he is drinking at
brook. If In bringing down his head he
remains square, without bending his limbs,
he possesses sterling qualities and all parts
ofthe body are built symmetrically. Let
your colt be domesticated and live with
you from his tenderest age, and when a
horse he will be simple, ,docile, faithful and
Injured to hardship and fatigue. If you
would have your horse to serve you on
the day of trial, If you desire him to be a
horse of truth, make him sober, accustom-

1t endures dry air very well, and has the
great merit of bearing transplanting as
well as chrysanthemums. This season we
took great advantage of this. We set some
plants IN border in June near high
fence, and let them run up straight, neat
rods eight feet long Gust long enough to
reach from the carpet of the sitting room
To the top of the Window In September
the vines had wreathed the rods aud grown
several feet longer. They were then lifted
into pots holding two quarts or more.
Ours, | may confess, as the plants are do
ing admirably, are short joints of stove
pipe seven or eight inches high, with wood
en- bottoms not tight, saucer below. all
painted red, and capped with moss. They
were taken into damp wash room, and
when it was desired TO decorate the win
dows, there was nothing necessary but to
set pot on each side. tie the tops Of the
rods erect, and hang the extending end of
the vine on the hook which sustains a
hanging vase opposite the middle Of the
window. In each window jamb. set upon
the sill. is plant of smilax, trained SINH
larly. on a rod set in quart fruit-can pret-
tily papered; these fill each jamb with pill
lars of charming spray, and the vase COM
pletes the ornamentation. 1t has cras-
sula for an erect centre, and sedums and
ice plants trail around. these being selected
as enduring dry air and dry soil especially
well, as well as for their tuftness and pen
dency.-[C Country Gentleman.
