Educating Horses.

Horses can be educated to the eX-
tent of their understandings rs well
as children, and can be easily dam
aged or ruined by bad management.
We believe that the great difference
found in horses as to vicious habits
oil reliability comes much more from
the different management of men
than from variance OF natural dispo-
sltlons in the animals. Horses with
high mettle are more easily educated
than those Of less or dull spirits, and
are more susceptible to i'll training,
and consequently may be made good
or bad according to the education
they receive.
Horses with dull spirits are not by
amy means proof against bad manage
ment, for in them may often be found
the most provoking obstinacy; vicious
habits OF different characters that
render them almost entirely worthless.
Could the coming generation of
horses in this country be kept from
their days of colthood to the age Of
five years in the hands Of good, care
full managers, there would be seen
vast difference in the general charac.
ters Of the noble animal.
If a colt is never allowed to get an
advantage it will never know that it
possesses apower that man cannot
control, and if made familiar with
strange objects, it will not be skittish
and nervous. If horse is made ac-
customed from his early days to have
objects hit him on the heels, back
and hips, lie will ply no attention to
the giving out OF harness or of Il
wagon running against him at an I'M
expected moment.
We once saw an aged lady drive a
high spirited horse, attached to II
carriage, down a steep hill and with
no hold-back straps upon the harness,
and she assured us that there was no
danger, for her son accustomed his
horses to all kinds of usages and
sights that commonly drive the ami
nal into a frenzy of fear and excite
ment.
A gun can be fired from the back
of horse, an umbrella held over his
head, a buffalo robe thrown upon his
neck, railroad engine pass close by,
his heels bumped with sticks, and the
animal take it all rs of natural con-
dition of things, if only taught by
careful management that he will not
be injured thereby. There is great
need of Improvement in the manage
ment Of this noble animal; less beat.
ing wanted and more of education

Chicken Raising Extraordinary

Two brothers named Gaff have es-
tablished Il mammoth hennery i'll Col
orado, ten miles from Denver 1t
covers forty acres, which is laid out
like village, with streets and ave
nues, along which are built rows Of
houses Of various designs. Regular
families are assigned to these houses,
and it is found that they quickly do
mesticate themselves without troub-
ling their neighbors. The popula-
ton of the village is about two thous-
and, divided closely into social cliques
of Brahmas, Cochins, Shanghais and
Dorkings, and the chief products are
eggs and spring chickens. Sundays
included, the industrious matrons of
the village turn out daily from forty
to fifty dozen of eggs, which are sold
in Denver for from thirty to fifty
cents per dozen. The brothers Calf
express but single regret, and that
is that they did not found their colo
ny fifteen years ago, when eggs
brought five dollars Il dozen and a
spring chicken was worth Il penny
weight Of gold dust.-Pouitry Buk-
letin.

The Cedar Rapids Times gives the
following item, which is strong proof
that hog raising pays: "Last spring
Mr.. J. d. Rider, q farmer in this VI
entity, selected twenty-one sows for
breeding, from his stock. From
these he raised one hundred and forty
pigs. In October he sold the old
stock for pork, for which he received
$46O.35. He sold his pigs to the
amount of 81 ,52O.4l and has thirteen
lett, which he places at low estimate
$3.50. Making the aggregate re-
ceipts from these twenty-one sows
$2,l49.76 IN one year and eight
months from the time they were lit
tered, an aversge Of over $lO2 each.
Sixteen of the pigs he sold when
quite small for 81 each. Mr.. Rider
kept an account of the corn fed to
these hogs and finds that it averaged
him about Sl.2O per bushel.

A farmer made an experiment. He
took sheep that weighed about 100
pounds, put it i'll pen, and after it
had become wonted, weighed all its
food, and found that three pounds per
day of fodder and grain was all he
could make the sheep eat. The
farmer had verified q rule well-known
to the much-despised shook farmers"
and arrived at by many and careful
experiments, that about three pounds
of good food per day for each 100
weight of live stock is fattening al
lowance. For illustration, a sheep
weighing 100 pounds requires three
pounds of food per day, and steer
weighing 1000 needs thirty pounds.
These rules are approximately cor
rect, being varied somewhat by quail
ity of food and stock. The farmer
knowing the weight Of his feed and
that Of his stock, by applying these
rules, can guess closel " as to whether
he has food enough for his stock.

hind Treatment Pays

Mr.. Willard, in his new Butter
Book, speaks in the strongest terms
of kind treatment to cows kept for
the dairy: at is really astonishing y
he says, "what a large difference in
the yield in milk it makes by attend
ing properly to 4 number of small
things in the management of stock
things that would seem to many quite
too insignificant to be worth observ-
ing. The dairyman should have a
genuine hearty love for the ANIMALS
under his control, attending to every
detail for their comfort, providing
wholesome, nutritious food, pure wa
ter and pure air-everything Of this
kind in Misunderstanding the ami
mails properly sheltered from storms;
feeding always with great regularity;
paying the most marked attention to
the manner and time of milking, and
witbal preserving uniform kindness
and gentleness of treatment through
out every operation, a gentleness ex-
tending even to the tones of the
voice.
Generally speaking, that COW will
do her best that is loved the best and
petted the most by those who have
her in charge. If you wish a COW to
do her best, you must cultivate her
acquaintance intimately, and be I'M
sparing in little acts of kindness
You may whip and torture a COW in
to submission, but she will strike bal
ancc against you in the milk-pail.-
One of the greatest faults among dal-
ry farmers to-day is a lack Of kind
ness and consideration to domestic
Cows should be petted dali
ly, and be made to feel that man is u
friend and protector. All pain, fright
and uneasiness checks the secretion
of milk, and the man who is passion
ate and abusive to his herd, never
did and never can realize 4 full yield
of milk from it.. I think that anyone
who has the charge Of animals should
study their character and disposition.
1t is an interesting study, and, under
the law Of kindness, you will not I'M
frequently bring out wonderful traits
and exhibitions of affection, which
show forethought and design which
may well be ranked with the higher
intelligence of reasonable beings" y

The following extract from Walks
and Talks in the american 44gricult-
u'ist shows the value on the farm of
energy, promptness and good judg-
ment.
eve have a German farmer i'll this
neighborhood, who sets us all Il good
example. He commenced life Is a
hired man. He has now one of the
best farms in the town, and is adding
acre to acre.-Whatever he does is
done well. He never seems to be in
a hurry. But he commences to pillow
in the spring before some of us begin
to think about getting the pillow ready
and he has ten or twenty acres of
barley sown before some Of us plow
a furrow. He is always ahead.
Every thing in its place; everything
in good repair and ready tor use at Il
moments notice. His land is getting
cleaner every year-and was going
to say richer, but am not so sure on
this latter point. | have sometimes
thought that he was running his
land rather hard. But there is GER
tainly no diminution in the crops.
His farm would sell for so per cent
more than he paid tor it, while other
farms have not increased in value.
The secret of success, in his case, Is
first in the man himself-in his in
dustry, sobriety, and good Judgment.
And in the next place | think it is
due principally to the fact that he
plows early, and plows late, and plows
often, and plows well; and he uses
the harrow and the roller until the
soil is mellow and in good order for
the seed. Then he cultiyates his
corn and potatoes and beans the mo-
ment he can see the rows, and he suf
ters not weed to grow and go to
seed.-I ought to add that he has five
energetic sons to help him, and while
he hires little or no labor, there is q
large amount of work done on the
farm. In fact, say what you will,
there never is, never has been, and
never will be good farming without
the expenditure of considerable labor.
4 have always employed a good
many men, said John johnson, and
all really successful farmers, | think,
would be obliged to say the same
thing"

HORSES are sometimes troubled
with worms. The disease is Il very
annoying one, and often reduces the
animal to n pitablc condition unless
relief Of some kind is found. For
extreme cases, the following sugges-
tons will probably prove worthy of
a trial. \ gentleman says:
| once had Il valuable animal in
such bad case from worms that |
kept him out Of sight from shame. a
friend, however, suggested that | feed
him ten bushels Of buckwheat, and
watch the result. This | did IN lieu
Of any other provender, and by the
time the ten bushels were consumed
he would hardly be recognized as the
same horse, so fat and sleek had he
become,-and he had no worms after
wards.

The growth of cucumbers

The growth of cucumbers for
pickles is made a profitable business
by many farmers who live near a
pickle factory. Otherwise the cost
of time in disposing Of the crop often
eats Up the profit. The crop might
be made to pay well by gathering
the cucumbcrs when of u proper size
or from two to four inches in length.
and packing them in brine. in clean,
new oak barrels. In this shape they
are salablc at about 81 hundred

who will take the trouble to pickle

BROOD MARE.-Thc best food 70,
the brood mare is good Timothy hay
with from four to six quarts of ground
oats and wheat bran (equal parts
each day. The ground oats and bran
not only enable the dam to make all
necessary preparations to supply the
coming toal with nourishment at the
time when most needed, but it keeps
her healthy and strong. The mare
should have regular exercise. She
should be housed or sheltered nights
and in stormy weather.-Sm Fran-

TO DESTROY AN UNPLEASANT
SMELL.-A correspondent says: "a
few days since a mouse died in the
wainscoting Of my house where |
could not get ut it to remove tho
body, and the nauseous smell thence
arising was very disagreeable. SO |
got Il few pennies worth of copperas,
set Il solution of it in the closet where
the smell was strongest, and we Were
Immediately relieved. This solution
had to be renewed every day or two,
but it absorbed entirely every trace
Of the unpleasant odor."

ing this old and honored citizen of the
county by the hand in Rogersville. Mr..
r. is one of the landmarks Of the coun-
ty. For fifty years previous to the war
he was among the most active, energetic
business men here, and no enterprise Of
any merit failed TO receive his aid. We
all supposed he had gained a fine for
tune, but the end of the late war found
him so much embarrassed, that his prop
erty was all sold, and now in his old
age, after life of wonderful activity
and industry, IS well as life of useful
ness and honor, he is comparatively
poor. He was the pioneer of the marble
business in this region and expended
large sums in opening quarries and bring
ing the marble 60 the notice Of the world.
He was also one Of the most active men
in founding and erecting the splendid
buildings for the RogersviIle Female
College and contributed twelve or If
teen hundred dollars TO that institution
in its earlier days. The old gentleman
Is beginning to look feeble now. but We
hope he may be with us yet for many
years.
