Kind Treatment for the Horse.

See that good care is taken of your
horse in the stable, by being well fed
with wholesome food of cracked corn
and oats, with plenty of good hay.
Potatoes or carrots may be given
once or twice week to good advan-
tagc.
See that he is kept clean, warm
and comfortable, with plenty of bed
ding.
Sec that his harness is kept soft
and clean, particularly the inside OF
the collar, which ought always to be
smooth, as the perspiration, when
dry, causes irritation, and is liable to
produce gals on the shoulders.
The collar should fit closely, with
space enough at the bottom to admit
a mans hand. If too large it has the
bad effect of drawing the shoulders
together.
On no consideration should Il team
or work horse be compelled to wear
a martingale, as it draws the head
down and prevents him from getting
into an easy and natural position.
The check-rein may be used, but
emily tight enough to keep the head
in natural position, and should
never be wound around the names.
See that the names are buckled
tight enough at the top to bring the
draught-irons near the centre Of the
collar If too low, it not only inter-
tcrs with the action of the shoulder,
but gives the collar an uneven bear
ing.
Caution should be taken that the
girt is not buckled too tight, particu-
larly on string-teams, for when the
traces are straighted it has the ten
dency to draw the girt against the
belly and distress the horse.
See that the horse is kept well shod
with good stiff shoe, always calked
at the toe and heel OH the hind feet,
as it is there where the propelling
comes from when heavily loaded.
Keep the feet good and strong by
not allowing them to be cut away too
much by the blacksmith.
The best Judgment should be used
in loading, taking into consideration
the condition of the street and the
distance to be travelled.
Never overload, for by SO doing
you only distress, strain and discour-
age your horse, and do him more in
jury than you can possibly gain by
carrying the extra load.
When your load is hard to pull,
stop often, and give your horse
chance to breathe.
No good driver will ever resort to
the cruel practice Of whipping or
beating his horse. A slight whip
may be carried, but there is seldom
use for it. Much more can be ac-
complished by kind treatment and
good Judgment.
A horse who is in the habit of
gnawing his crib can be cured Of the
practice by applying a strong wash
Of cayenne pepper and hot water, or
coating Of tar to the crib.
A piece of rock-salt should always
be left in the Manager.
To commence properly the opera
ton of Harvesting your horse, in the
winter season, take the head stall
INTO the house and warm the bits by
the fire. Or if you are in too much
of hurry, just put the bits in your
own mouth a few moments, and see
how they feel.

The Gardeners Nogazine says
that the cheapest, quickest, and most
effective way Of Riding ground of
wire-worms, is to plant it thickly in
small potatoes, leave them in the
ground week, dig them up and feed
them, worms and all, to the hogs
The worm loves the potato, and very
few of them lifted with the tubers
ever get back to mother earth again.

The worst of everything is the
greediness of men for land. a new
conner put his last dollar in land, and
goes in debt tor his house and farm
ing tools, and in ninety-nine cases out
of hundred, he will, after striving
hard and living poor, find himself, at
the end of Il dozen years, worse off
than when he first began. This il
the general rule OF those who chose
farming for their profession.

Twin hcifers will breed as surely
rs others. If the dam is a vigorous,
strong animal, and the calves strong
and hearty, they can be counted upon
as good for breeders as single calves.
If the contrary is the case, however,
it would be best to reject them rs
breeding animals. In case one of the
twins is a male, it is always u matter
of doubt whether or not the heifcr
will breed. Probably there is no
more than one chance in ten that she
will. Among fancy breeders the twin
hcitcr is generally rejected, except as
a show animal.

has behaved rather strangely to them.
He visited them on Sunday, and Monday
evening said that he would go up again.
His brother objected to this and thought
he had better not, whereupon he left the
room and went UP stairs. He soon re-
turned with an open razor, with which
he attacked his brother, G. A. Hitch
cock, The blow was warded OF, as:
well as several succeeding ones, and an
attack on Mrs. Hitchcock. BY this
time some of the neighbors came in and
the struggle was over. He then went
to the barn and harnessed up colt
which he had there, telling Mr. L. +.
Scofeld, who saw him, that he was go
ing to Brandon. He was very th1nly
clad, and was going to get his oyereoat

Fire ON Woodstock Avenue

Yesterday little before noon fire
was discovered in the shed connected
with the story and half house on Wood
stock Avenue owned by an old lazy,
Miss CarFuth. The lower portion was
occupied by her as a dwelling, and the
upper by the family of Rufus Minis. 1t
was some time before the alarm was
given and the fremen appeared, the
whistle not blowing at all and the Nick
wackett bell alone giving the depart
ment notice. Only women and children
were at home, and the fire made such
Roadway that very little was saved from
up stairs, though most of the furniture
in the lower rooms wrs got out. Several
ladies in the peighborhood did excellent
service as amateur fremen, though some
of the regular force were sy ungallant
as to suggest after their arrival that
they could do more if there were not
such a lot of women around. One of
the amateurs boldly grasped tea kettle
and rushed across the road, but was
more successful in danpening her dress
than the flames. The steamer took her
station In the reservoir at the park and
the Nickwackett near the residence of
Mrs. Dewey, and their efforts finally
saved a few blackened boards aud tim
bers, though the salvage is not worth
much.
The house, shed and barn connected
with it were destroyed and were The
property of Miss Carruth. They were
insured in the Vermont Mutual, but she
did not know for exactly how much.
The furniture and household goods be-
longing to Rufus Minis were nearly all
destroyed, together with two pigs and
thirty hens, which were in the barn
the cow was saved. We understand
there was no insurance. The loss will
fall very heavily on Mr.. Minis, and some
of our prominent citizens propose to
start subscription for his benefit He
is employed by D. NJ. White & Co. 81.
The fire caused a good deal of excite
ment in that neighborhood, where such
things are not as common as they are
around the HERALD Office. The resi-
denee of Mrs. DR. Aiken was at one
time thought to be in danger, and it is
said that some of the sparks caught in
the cupola of Col. Merrili's barn.

husband and indulgent father, we bow

To-day, amid the tolling of funeral
bells, with the emblems of mounting on
either side, with grief and sorrow re-
Elected On every. countenanee, to-day,
we entrust to the tomb all that is mortal
of Stephen @. Staley, and as we pause
to look for the last time on the familiar
face, let us not forget that brave and
manly spirit has gone from us to return
never again, let us not forget that a
true and forgiving soul bas left us to
come not back forever. His was ma
TURF. as. open as the world free, bounti-
fal, generous with never a thought of

he was ever ready with hand and purse
to mitigate, as best he might, the miser-
les and sorrows of adversely. His was
a character which will, long hDger in
memory, and the virtues which grace
his name we remember with gratitude.
His was life which was something
more than a whisper on the shore of
the great sea beyond His traits and
virtues. bis merits and moral excellence,
we may well initiate and copy in form
and semblance. EquiYeeation, subter- .
fuge or deceit had no place with him,
and no. considerations of business exigen-

line of duty and conscience. Rutland
has laid many and onerons duties upon
him, and to each trust he was ever
faithful and watchfui, and to each he !
gave the full measure of his ability, his
best thoughts and care, often neglecting
his own business to the end that his duty !
to his fellow men might first be, dis |
charged. His final sicknes was painful |
and tragic in the extreme. He was sud- |

physicians, and he rapidly sank until all /
hope was abandoned. His last days !
