REMoYISG STUMPs.-A friend asks u
what can be done 20 get rid Of stumps in
iields-whether crude oil would not cause
The stumps to burn readily. In our ex-
perence we have found it preferable to re-
move stumps with machines made for that
purpose and burn them afterwards. If de-
sired. Ii is slow work burning isolated
stumps 10 field and the same amount OF
time spent in uprooting them will be much
more effective. a good team, horses or
oxen with stump machine will clear quite
a space OF ground in a day, and if the
ground be stony. the work may be further
progressed by filing the holes where the
stumps came IRON with stones 10 within
eighteen inches or two feet OF the surface.
Crude oil is not very infiammable and I'M
less used in large quantities its only effect
is TO clear the surface of the stump and
make it last even longer than it otherwise
would.-lEx.

To CLEAN OLD Pork BARRELs.-Old
pork barlres. whether tainted or sweet,
should be thoroughly cleansed before be-
ing used for new pork. A very simple and
efectual method is to put in a peck OF
strong wood ashes and couple of pals of
water and let it stand day or two; then.
seour thoroughly with stiff corn brooyl

particles with which it comes in cobfact,

move all the ashes, then pour boj Ting water

E3rea::as Esrses.

Horses eau be educated to the extent OF
their understandings as well as children.
and can be a easily damaged or ruined by
bad management. We believe that the
great difference found in horses as TO vici-
Gus habits or reliability comes more from
the different management of men than from
variance of natural disposition in the anil
mails. Horses with high meetle are more
easily educated than those OF less or dull
spirits. and are more susceptible to i'll train
ing and consequently may be as good or
bad according to the education they re-
eeIye.
Horses with dull spirits are not by any
means proof against bad management. for
In them may often be found the most pro-
vOking obstinacy; vicious habits of differ
ent characters that render them almost en-
tirely worthless. Could the coming gener-
ations OF horses in this country be kept
from their days OF colthood to the age of
five years in the hands OF good, careful
managers. there would be seen a vast diff
ference in the general characters of the no
bic animals.
If colt is never allowed to get an ad-
vantage. it will never know that it possess
es power that man cannot control; and if
made familiar with strange objects, it will
not be skittish and nervous. II q horse is
made accustomed from his early days to
have objects to hit him on the heels, back,
and hips, he will pay no attention to the
giving out OF harness or OF a wagon run
mig against him at an unexpected mo-
ment.
We once saw an aged lady drive q high
spirited horse, attached to a carriage down
a steep hill. with no hold back straps upon
the harness, and she assured US that there
was no danger, for her son accustomed his
horse to all kinds Of usuges and sights that
commonly drive the animal into frenzy
of fear and excitement.
A gun may be fired from the back of a
horse. an umbrella held over his head, q
buffalo robe thrown over his neck, . rail
road engine pass close by, his heels bump
ed with sticks, and the animal take it as =
natural condition of things, if only taught
BY careful management thst he will not be
injured thereby. There il great need OF i'm
provement in the management Of this no
BILE animal less beating wanted and more

The surgical examinations of the body
of Lexington, the great Kentucky race
horse, revealed most singular cause of
his death. That part Of the skull under
the left eye, where the trouble of the horse
seemed to be located, was filled with at
least quart of masticated food, which had
been forced into the cavity through an
opening in the upper jaw, caused by the
loss Of . tooth.

Extra-mural nterment, with regulations for the pre-
