Intelligent Horse.

The editor of The Maine Farmer
gives an account of a knowing horse,
in the employ Of Mr.. Pullen, q milk
man near Augusta, which has been
driven over the city route daily, for
the past year or two. Knowing this
horse to be an intelligent one, Mr.
Pullen, one morning after starting ON
his route, let the reins remain in the
hook in the top Of his wagon, to see
what the horse would 10. He bad
his own way in coming to the city;

customers without a mistake, then
went to the ~postofice, thence to the

Pullen is IN the habit of stopping,
and then took up bis route b me,
where be arrived safe, Mr.. Pullen not
having touched the reins from the
time be started. Is not this pretty
well FOR Q horse? And could any
ordinary milkmap 90 better? Mr..
Pullen says any variation in toe route,
such as new customers Or a change
of residence, is readily learned by
the horse in four days, after which be

of such u horse as this? And who

Doing Up Clothes.

Starehing properly IS important.
Dissolve thoroughly until as thick
and smooth as cream, and pour on
sufficient boiling water, adding to
every pint g piece Of spermaceti, lard
or butter the size OF a baZelnut. 0ne
ounce of gum arabic in q half pint Of
water, and a tescupful added to the
starch, gives a fine polish to shirt
bosoms, collars, &c. Muslin dresses
should be starched in rice water,
made by boiling two tablespoontuls
Of rice to a pint of water, and boiling
until entirely dissolved this will
stifen two dresses. When the clothes
are perfectly dry, lay all starched
articles-exeepting shirts and collars
upon a sheet, aud sprinkle them
with a wisp broom kept for the par
pose, then straighten and roll tight
ly, letting them remain covered in a
cool place one hour before ironing.
Dip the shirt-bosoms aud collars, in
a little cold stArch-water, squeezing
very tightly and rubbing well.
The ironing is important, as every
thing depends upon the name ia
which it is done. The light, smooth,
nickeLplated irons sold for a dollar
and a half, are by far the best.
Above all, if you vai9s your health
and feelings learn to iron sitting.
Standing is wearing and wearying
work. A man may plow all day
who will faint if required 10 stand a
few hours. A piece of soft old towel
or other linen, or a small sponge. Is
always requisite to wipe off starchcd
articles and little specks and spots
from various pieces. An old book or
pamphlet should always be a. hand
on which to rub the iron if mol per-
fectly smooth. Linen goods should
be ironed on the right side, cotton
and embroidery on the wrong.
Never use heavy irons for muslins I;
but iron off rapidly. end finish the
gathers, &c, on the right side.
Lace curtains must never be ironed,
but pinned to a rod on which a strip
Of cotton is tackled, and a heavy rod,
with weights fastened to the ends,
pinned TO the DECENTRALIZATION

Most of our readers will be aware
that seeds such as those found in The
mummy-cases Of the Pyramids, which
have lain for long periods OF years
in a decayed state, will germinate
when placed amid their natural

Athens, has recently met with an
analogous instance Of long-decayed

Of poppy (Eiancium), which are
proved TO have been in a dormant

Road Mending.


The subject has received consider
able attention from Us, for the rea-
son that it is a very important one,
in which the whole community Is
more or less Interested. Every per-
son who owns a Forse or rides IN a
vehicle of any kind knows the vast
differ, .ee between good road and a
had "a safe road and a danger
ous one. Many roads are never
nro .erlv repaired and Of purse are
never in good order. Sometimes a
ouagmire or a moist, miry place is
left year in and year out without an
attempt to remedy it permanently,
aud the little pottering done only
makes the evil worse than it was be-
fore No road, not even a macada-
mixed one, will continue in a good
condition for any length Of time, IN
less il has sufficiently large cutters
at the sides, kept clear of~obstructions
until the water passes from the road.
Toward these cutters the road should
bevel gently, removing everything
that may prevent the water from
running directly into them, aud not
force it by distractions, (ittle en-
bankments along the edge OF the
cutters, made By the dirt thrown out
Of tbe CUTTERS along the road some
times for 6fty or u hundred yards
before finding its way into the gutter,
thus washing deep lines in the road
bed and seriously damaging 1t.
Holes in the road-beds are the worst
drawbacks upon travel. They gather
the water, and from a very small de-
preston. become larger and larger
until they are a decided nuisance.
Many Of the superintendent or
managers of macadamized roads, 1t
seems, are beyond recognizing this
simple fact
Dirt roads, such as come under the
charge of township supervisors, re-
quire the same method and care In
keeping themi in good condition But
on many of these highways the road
scraper can be used with great eih-
cheney and economy, At least two
of these should be owned by every
township. The best that is made
was invented, and we believe patent
ed by Prot. John Wilkinson, now of
Baltimore, Q description of which, by
Mr.. w. appeared some time ago Ia
our columns. Another has recently
been invented by Mr.. Thompson Of
Gardiner, Me, with which he offers,
to use bis own words, "to take the
roads 10 one hundred townships and
keep them in good repair for N year
for one-half the former cost; or for
ten years for %one-fOurth the former
cost, with the exception Of bridges
and c~ulyerts, and providing the roads
are free from stones.n He adds,
with my machine one man and two
horses will smooth up and put in
good condition ten miles Of road q
dav."
We bring the subject before tow u
ship supervisors 10Y that they may
have full time TO consider it and make
he necessary provisions for the com
ing seasons operations -Germantotgn

Confidence In Animals.

There are probably, few persons,
familiar with farm life who have
not observed o marked contrast be-
tween the general character aad ap-
pearance of the domestic animals
kept On different farms within the
circle of their acquaintance.
On approaching some farm houses,
the FIRST salutation comes from a
noisy, growing dog, who seems to
take you for a tresspasser. The next,
from his master who divides his en-
ergies between welcoming you and
scolding the dog for not behaving
better. You visit the barn, and as
you open the door, a frightened cat
scuds across the floor, and with one
look back at you from her great eyes,
disappears through the hole in the
floor, or out at a broken window.
The horses lay back their ears,
squeal and kick the sides OF their
stalls, as much as to say: I'VE feel
cross and can't help acting it out"
The oxen and COWS start back as
YOU pass them as if afraid they
would be bit with d fork, aud the
young calves aud pigs scamper to
The farlhest corners of their pens,
and even the chickens seem to be
bound you shall have all the room to

We cannot begin too early to ham

are raising. 1t is wonderful how
soon they will acquire a feeling o.
confidence and learn to come to Us for

How 1G$y Drop shot

A reporter of the Baltimore liner
fceK tbas describes one OF tie many
processes of making shot in cue Of
che shot-toWsrs of that city: One Of
tie secrets" Of the manufacture is
the niIipg Of the ieSd with o certain
proportion OF q comb pGt;on OF min
eral substances called temper The
temper is fused with the lead, sna
gives the molten metal that consist
ency which makes il drop, and with
out which-the lead would be mould
ed by the sieve, and would form lit
tie pencils instead Of round shot
when "BB" shot, for instance, are
80 - made, the lead is poured into a
pan perforated with holes correspond
ing to t4St size. The little pellets
come popriaE down ia a continuous
shower, and faI into a tank filed
with water on the ground floor. In
Abeir descent of two hundred feet
ahey become perfect spheres, firm and
sanse, and they are tolerably cool
l~heR they strike the water, although
the ssift conclusions make the tank
foam md bubble SIS If the water was
boiling isyriousiy. The shot must fall
in the water, for If they Eonld strike
any firm subStance they world be
aaltened and Knocked out of shape.
To get the little pellets perfectly dry
after they have been in the "well," is
She most difficult and troublesome
process Of ole whole manufacture.
An elevator With small buckets (very
snuch like those used in -four mills)
earrles the shot up as fast as they
react tee cotton Of the well, and de-
posts them 10 o box 60 feet above
The hrst door. The water drips FROM
tie buckets as they 20 up. and lit
die Is poured into tie Ceeeiyer above
although 1t is intended to Se a sort Of
dripping machine. From this re-
ceiver the shot runs down a sposx
into a drylEg Psa. which greatly re.
sembles q gigantic shoe, made of
sheet iron. The pan rests az On an.
gle which permits the wet sbot to
roll slowly down to the Chamber he
Sow, and the pellets become perfectly
DRY as they pass over the warm sheet
ron
