~ Somebody advances the theory that bodily
suffering is beneficial to the intellect. We can
imagine that person with the jumping tooth
ache is in a fit condition to write poem; that a
man having both legs amputated, could while
away the time in solving difficult mathemati-
cal problem; or that an individual who has just
had an eye gOuged out, is thereby rendered ca
pable of graphing with some mighty scientific
question. In fact, we knew of many persons
who have never given sign of intellect, who
might benefited by being mauled over the head
with a club.

WILL BEECHER TEsTIFYi-All hell couldn't
keep him from the witness stand. Mr.. Beecher
is like the traveller-he has q story to tell. And
he means to tell it. The cross-examination by
Mr.. Fullerton will doubtless be searching. Good.
That's what we want. The more he searches the
more he'll find that he doesn't want. He'll be
met good-naturedly, seriously, courteously, and
sqHdrely.
Beecher won't dodge q single question-he
couldn't afford to.

tell au the trnth-he must.-NeW York SNR.

u The papers have raised their annual song,
calling upon emigrants not to be frightened, but
to come to Kansas. Better stay away from Kan
sas, unless they come of their own accord, and
know what they are doing. This thing of in
weighing men to Kansas all Summer, and begging
all Winter to keep them from starving, is becom-
ing irksome. Kansas is q good enough place to
come to, if they do not como out in such hurry
nbont it as to come naked, and without the means
of buying their dinner when they get here.

Keeping Apples through the Winter.

Mr.. Alexander Hyde, a well known agricul-
turist of Massachusetts, communicates to the
New York Times some useful suggestions in
regard to keeping apples through the win
ter. One method is to wrap each apple in
bit of old newspaper, the paper serving
apple from bruising in transportation. A
method more effectual still is to fill the bar
rels nearly full of apples and then put in
some dry fine sand or powdered plaster and
shake it down gently. This will fill up all
the interestices between the apples and keep
them fresh indefinitely. Another mode is
to put the apples in some dry, sandy or
gravelly soil just as turnips and potatoes
are pitted. On this point Mr. Hyde says:
''They will keep splendidly through the
winter thus pitted, but must be used speedily
in the spring after they are dug out, as they
will rot soon after exposure to the light and
air. In order to pit apples, select some dry
spot where there is no possibility of water
filling the pit, and dig hole three or four
feet deep and of any required size, place
some clean dry straw on the bottom and on
this the apples to the depth of two feet, COW
ering the whole with layer of straw and
then layer of dry earth, raising the latter
above the general level of the ground and
sloping it roof fashion, so that it will shed
rain. The apples will come out in the
spring as crisp as cabbage when pitted in
this way"

Management of Balky Horses

The first and better way Is never to have
balky horse. Ifhorses are handled prop
erly they will never balk. After horse has
been "fooled," as horsemen very properly
say when horse balks, it will require a
vast amount of cautious management to cor
rect the bad habit. Horses are taught to
balk by stupid drivers, who have really less
good sense than the animals they drive.
Many strong and excellent horses are man
aged so imperfecty that they soon become
almost incorrigible bakers; whereas if a
driver of ordinary intelligence had held the
reins, the animals would have always been
as true as steel, If horse is properly man
aged he will draw with all his might, trot
or run as his driver may indicate, until he
drops in his harness from exhaustion.
After a horse has really contracted the
habit of baking, the vice can only be cor
rected by kindness and gentle treatment.
The more he is whipped, kicked, clubbed,
and handled roughly, the more obstinate he
will be. Hence, throw away whips and
clubs, and let the gentle treatment bear rule.
Then, beware of overlooking. A person can
coax out of a horse a service that whips
and kicks never can secure. Always provide
some means to enable team to start hea.
Wy load easily. Avoid stopping-if possible
where it will be difficult to start. 1t i.
better to let team stop for a moment, ter
times, when hauling a lead up a slope, thar
to allow it to stop in a place where it woulC
be difficult to start. The writer once wa
accustomed to carry pieces of plank to th'
field for the wheels of the wagon to rest upon
while it is being loaded with potatoes or corr
so that the team would move off readily
with heavy load, that they could neve
start if the wheels had been allowed to sinl
into the ground while the load was increas
ing in weight. When horse balks on &C
count of exhaustion, allow the animal t
rest until he has recovered strength to dra'
his load. Above all beware of too heav.
loads, of impatience or roughness, and over
loading.-Practicdt Farmer.

A producer Of pork in Muskingum coun-
ty, Ohio, who has made an experiment with
hogs with a view to ascertain how far cold
retards the rate of fattening, reports the fol-
lowing results: Carefully weighing the hogs
fed, and the corn fed to them, and estimating
pork at four cents per pound, he found that
what be had fed out during the first week
in October returned lin pork so cents per
bushel; the first week in November, GO cents,
the third week 40, the fourth week in Nov
ember and the month of December, 25 the
first half of January, 5; the last half,O. 1t
gradually grew colder till the latter part of
November, from which time it remained
about stationary till the lst of January, after
which it ran down to zero, and below in the
latter part Of the month. The hogs were
well sheltered in a good pen with plank floor.

Horse F0dder.-The practice of feeding
horses with hay by the truss is wasteful in
the extreme. Much of the hay placed in
the rack is pulled out and trodden under
foot by the horses, who use it, not for food
but for amusement. By cutting truss OF
hay into chaf every blade of it will be con-
sumed, and it will be found that three-quar-
tiers of pound of cut hay will go as far as
one pound of uncut hay in the daily rations
of horse. Coachmen and grooms in pri-
vate stables do not like the system of feed
ing horses on mixed forage-namely on
bruised oats, chaff maise given together
because owing to the bulk of the forage sup
piled being more easily weighed, the facili-
ties for fraud are diminished. 1t is stated
that an English omnibus company have for
many years adopted the plan of mixed for
age, and no one can look at their horses
without being struck by their admirable con-
dition, Notwithstanding hard work.
