Baulky Horses,

Professor Jennings, of the Veterinary
College Of Philadelphia says;
"a man to control II horse, must first
learn TO control himscll.'
Banking is the most a%ggravatlng of
all faults to which the horse is subject,
yet, by patience, pscscryancc and GOOD
management, even this habit can be
broken up. They resist because we fail
to make them understand what we re-
uuirc of them; or it may occur from
Overlooking, sore shoulders, or working
till tired out. Particular is this the
case with young animals,
As soon as Il horse is made to under
stand what is required of him, he be
comes a willing subject. To attempt tc
force him to do what he does not com.
prchcnd, or to use the whip under such
circumstances, only cXcitcS him to more
determined resistance. Professor ,Icnn,
ings' remedy, which fully sustainS the
opinion of other great horse students, is
rs follows:
"On the first attempt of your horse to
bauIk, get out, pat and rcaSSurc him
with kind words, carefully examine the
harness, then jump in and speak to him
as if you expected him to 90. This is
generally cllcctual.'
Bcntwright, the American horsc-tamcr,
says Of this subject
"If you have a baulky horse it is your
own fault and not the horses. If n
team does not pull true there is some
causc for it, and if you will remove the
cause the effect will cease. When youI
horse baulks he is excited, and does not
know what YOU want him to do.

.Fouling of Wells.

The most inSidious process is that of
the gradual iouling Of the Scmi-porouS
earth lying between the source Of her
impurity and the drinking-watcr well.
In such cases the emulation is usually
quite or nearly constant; there is no
opportunity for the air TO restore the
hltcring power of the soil, and it be
comes saturated with %impurity inch by
inch, until, perhaps after several years,
the s@aturatiOn reaches the well then
every drop oozing in from this source
carries with it its atom of filth. While
the supply of water in the ground is
copious, and while there is more or less
circulation through the water veins, the
foulncss may he too much diluted 10 do
harm but in dr. seasons, when the
supply rcccdcs to a depth of only Il few
feet at the bottom Of the we'll, the con
tribution of drain water continuing the
same, the dose becomes sufficient to pro-
duCc its poisonous effect.
The dangerous character of the water
Of such wells is often manifested by no
odOr or taste of organic matter; the
chemical changes in this matter seem to
have been carried 50 far Us to yield little
more than viyifying nitratcs To the water,
their organic character having entirely
disappeared. Indeed, some of the most
dangerous wcll-watcrs are especially
sparkling and refreshing to the taste.
But the chemical processes which have
effected this change appear to have had
NJ effect IN the germs of disease il
germs they bc-which retain their inju-
rious character to such a degree that the
worst results have often come of the Use
of water that was especially sparkling
and pleasant rs a beverage.

The FAST MAIL IRAINs.-A feeling
has prevailed among commercial men
since the establishment of the new fast
mail trains that their interests were being
sacrificed to those of the morning news
papers by the post-otiicc department.
The idea got abroad that mercantile let
tiers were delayed until morning, and that
the time of transmission to the west was
thereby increased instead of diminished
under the new arrangement. \ number
of merchants and publishers of evening
newspapers met at No. II Broadway yes.
tcrday, and Major Bangs addressed the
assemblagc, explaining the system Of
railway service of the United States very
fully. and said hat the city could not
possibly hc better served than it is ut
present. The morning trains from this
city had been arranged Ia catch most of
the through trains in the west. Thus
everything combined To render a fast
evening train of no practical value. In
planning the new service all these things
had been carefully weighed, the principal
object being to accommodate the large
cities which are the distributing agencies.
Should any new consideration of impor-
lance h. offered To the department Major
Bangs promised that care would be taken
to give them the attention they might
demand.-N. T. Times.
