We have in this state many good breeds
Of horses-the Knox. Winthrop Morrill,.
Drew and many othcrs-all Of which have
many friends aud admirers; but believe
that. taking everything ilto consideu,tion.
the Drew horses stand unsurpassed. If not
ahead OF all other breeds OF horses In
Maine. The old Drew horse was unque<-
ticnably thoroughbred horse, and the
Mr.. Thompson'> book IS undoubtedly cor
rect. No class of horses have been more
sought after or brought higher prices in
the market than the Drews, and this +. the
great reason why they are 50 scarce in this
state to-day. There are but very few
genuine Drew horses len in the State.
have raised several colts OF different
breeds, aud am forced TO admit that the
Drew horses excel all others In style, ac-
ton and endurance. | raised one splendid
Drew horse which sold about three wears
ago, which after taking the prize Of hun
dred dollar harness Gs the best gentle
mans horse in Maine, was sold for 81 400
and taken 10 Germany. aud is said TO be
king OF the turf in that country. This
colt was got by Independence" NOW
owned by Hartford Morrow OF HartlandJ
by Old Drew. lie stands sixteen hands
high. and weighs l.lOO lbs. color. dark
almost black, with black points. also
raised six colts from the same mare, and
the Drew colts surpass in style and action
all others | ever raised.
We sometimes wonder and il is TO be
regretted, that farmers take so little inter-
est 10 procure the Drew blooded horses
They certainly, for uany years, have COM
manded better prices in market and have
found a ready sale, when other breeds Of
horses have been dull in the marke; and
not sought after. One great advantage 10
raising Drew stock is, if they are not fast
(Which many OF them are. they are sure
to have splendid style. and are fine road

The education Of no colt Il really com
pleted until he can be driven on ordinary
roads without breeching or hold backs.
lie shoald be taught to be utterly fearless
and Indifferent TO the wagon coming sud
denly upon him from behind. SO far ss the
human mind msy predict, our own life has
been certainly saved once, because the
horses we were driving. when the pole
snapped halfway down mouutaia side,
had been taught these two supreme viz
tues,-to stop st the word whoa" and to
hold the wagon back with their launches.
/; IS astonishing to US that two habits OF
obedience 50 essential as these, and so
eSsily incalculated, should not be regarded
a. actually indispensable. This is our
method OF teaching horses not to fear when
the wagon comes sud denly against them
We take the horse, and. backing him be-
tween the shafts, continue TO back him
slowly and easily until his hams come in
contact with the whihe-tree. He ray
start At first; but. after a few trials, he be
comes absolutely Indifferent to it. Then,
calling the groom TO the head Of the horse.
we station ourselves behind the wagon or
carriage, and, speaking kindly aud sooth-
ingly to the horse, push it slowly forward
until it comes against him. All this is done
quietly, remember. and SO gently rs neith-
er 10 hurt nor alarm the animal. AMER 8
few trials, the horse becomes accustomed
TO it, and will actually brace himself
against your pressure. This is what you
have been after. He has caught the idea
and Will henceforth enter iuto your plan.
In aifew days he will even bear pain in re-
sisting your efforts. aud not Il inch. and ad-
just himself in such a way ss TO receive
the pressure at the best angle of resistance.
\ ou can now hitch him into your wagon.
and leave the breeching and hold-backs at
home. After two months Of training we
have driven q colt, which was not at all
amiable by nature. for miles on a country
road, where the hills, while they were nor
long, were steep. with nothing whatever
TO assist him in holding back the wagon.
While we would not advise any one TO pur-
sue this course, we will still! declare our
belief that the majority of colts could be
easily trained to stand this test; and we
urge all trainers to so educate the animals
in their charge that the breaking OF sin.

Eayxak;sg il Norway.

OF this correspondent writes: The
way they make hay in Norway will be new
to your farmer readers. The grass is hung
up on poles to dry, and have never seen
such bright-colored hay in my life. 1t is
almost as bright green as when growing.
In some fields you see strings of fences, a
few rods long, which begin and end no.
where. These lines of fence are about as
wide apart as a New England farmer
makes his windows. On these fences the
grass is hung till the wind and sun can
cure it. The sun does not burn it. That
is one way and perhaps the most common,
The other way is to plant posts in the
fields, twelve feet or so apart, and in these
posts insert pegs about one foot asunder.
On these pegs poles are laid, and on them
the grass is hung just as we used to dry
paper at the mills down East forty years
ago. The result is hay that any farmer
would be proud Of"

?rcH. Il Cows.

The Iowa State Register advocated lib
eral feeding at all times for cows. We do
not believe it would find it recommenda-
ton Of aEy system that it was less eIpen-
siye to feed to cows than any other. We
cordially indorse the following remarks Oh
this subject:
There are but few farmers who fully
realize the true value of a good cow well
kept. As general practice, three COWS do
not produce as much milk butter or cheese
as one would if treated profitably. No ac-
count is kept OF the amount OF milk or
butter produced by each COW in the year
The farmer with his cows is in the same
situation as he is with the balance OF his
farm. lie keeps no account and knows
nothing about his business; go pounds of
butter per year is not large yield, yet
there are more that do not produce more
than half that amount than there are that
exceed one-half. There is no poorer policy
than starving and freezing milk COW.
There can be no more improvidence in any
branch of agriculture than in half starving 2
snd exposing to the storms Of winter the
COW that is expected TO furnish the family
with milk, butter and groceries.
We have seen this spring from three to
five cows staggering about straw stacks of
farmers which will require nearly all the
summer to repair wasted nature, without
supplying any of the rich, nutritious milk
which only comes from q healthy, well-fed
COW. such farmer should either keep a
less number or provide better shelter and
more rich food. One COW well provided
for is better than three starved ones. One
will furnish more milk.
Children should never be fed on milk
drawn from poor COW, reduced to the
bare possibility Of fsustaining vitality. 1t
is cruelty to animals thus to treat them,
and ii is murder to the innocent children to
feed them on such food. The profit, the
morality and the responsibility of it re-
quires that man who keeps cows should
provide better than is done in most cases
in cold climates. man that would cheat
his poor old COW. which has thus far raised
his children, should be considered respect
able 10 no society. There may be cases
where drouth. food or devouring insects
have rendered it impossible to provide
bountifuly for all the animals on the farm !;
but in such cases the owner should not be
compelled to see the poor old COW shaking
her horns at him in his night dreams. We
plead for the cow. and il three or five can
not be provided for, sell OF, and one well
fed will provide more than the three or
five

Stick 10 Your Farms.

The life of farmer Is not an easy one
ibut when We look around and see the
.wrecks of fortune made on every hand oy
men engaged in other pursuits, the
farmer has cause to be thankful If he can
support his family and give his children a
good common education. 1t has been
stated that during the last half century,
only four merchants, in the city of New,
York. .out of every hundred, have succeed
ed In. making their business profitable. The
| unsuccessful ones have managed, Gin many
eases, to continue in business for years al
| ter they have become bankrupt according
| TO their books but, of course. finally had
to succumb TO their fate. These men,
| while living in good style, and many luxu-
| riously, have carried continually load OF
! care that no farmer ever experienced; and
when the time came that their business
must be wound up, their condition gener-
ally has been one of poverty. and utterly
broken down in spirits. A few recover
and resume business again; but the ma
jority are pushed aside to Rake room for
others, eventually to follow in their foot
steps, and end their lives in misery and
despair.
Farmers, be coutented. You may not
be able to lay up money; but you can
pay for your farms aud live comfortably.
envy not the condition Of those engaged in
other pursuits. To those farmers who are

say that the apparently wealthy bankers
of Wall Street might well envy your lot.
Nearly every week some one Of these

PRESSING STABLE MANURE.-The man
ure from city horse stables is now being
pressed into one-third its ordinary bulk, by
the use of powerful machinery, IN ade for
the express purpose. The bales, which
weigh about $50 pounds, are con fined by
suitable slaves and bands. and may then
be transported to all parts of the country,
at cost much below that required for un-
pressed manure. City stable manure has
been sold. the past winter, at prices con-
siderably below that Of former years. Is
it because chemi cal manures are found to
be cheaper than animal manures?
