wood had fallen behind the kitchen stove, and,

dashed couple Of pals of water upon the flames,

~ but their services were not needed. A few

Eow to Drive.


The true way is TO let the horse drive
himself, the driver doing little but di-
rect him and giving him that conf
dence which horse alone gets in him
self when he feels that guide and q
friend is back of him. The most vici
Gus and inexcusable style of driving is
that which so many drivers adopt, viz !:
wrapping the lines around both hands
and pulling the horse backwards with
ali their might and main so that the
horse, in point Of fact, pulls the weight
back of him with his mouth, and not
with his breast and shoulders. This
they do under the impression that such
q dead pull is needed in order to
steady the horse. The fact is, with
rare exceptions, there should never be
any pull upon the horse at all. A
steady pressure is allowable, probable
advisable; but anything beyond this
has 30 justification in nature or rea-
son for nature suggests the utmost
freedom of action of head, body and
limbs. iii order that the animal may at
tain the greatest speed /; and reason
certainly forbids the supposition that

Stacking Broom Corn.

Last year, when | came TO harvest
my broom-corn, found my shed en-
tirely inadequate for keeping and cur
ing it. Being at the same time
engaged in piling up prairie hay,
was led to stack my corn in with the
hay, and it has kept SO nicely that
think the idea is a valuable one, and
would be glad if you would make ii
generally known to western farmers,
to whom costly sheds and barns are
impossible. My plan is to let the corn
lie in the field about half a day after it
is cut; then stack it in alternate layers
with the hay; lay the corn about two
stalks deep between layers of four or
five inches of well cured hay. In this
way the corn is cured and kept in the
dark and the green color preserved. l
have now two ricks of prairie hay, con-
tanning five or six tons of broom-corn
with the seed on. We have had an
extraordinary amount of rainy wealth
er, aud my farm is overrun with rats
and mice, yet both corn and hay are
keeping WELL If do not soon get a
satisfactory sale for my broom-corn,
shall retop the ricks and let them stand
another year.-W. II. A., IN New York
Tribune.

"Well," he continued, after borrow

The Cattle Show Season.

An English paper talks sensibly
when it says that the local cattle show.
in its way, is an important institution,
stimulating the breeders of the dis
trict to improve their stock. each in
gentle rivalry trying 10 outvie his
neighbor. 1t is at The cattle show.
when his horse, COW, pig, or sheep
stands alongside his brother farmers
animals, that he finds out the failings
and virtues Of his own stock, and then
goes homewards with determination
to go on improving its type and gen
eral character. Though, perhaps, beat
en-, he is not gnite vanquished while
he lives to fight another day.
To the healthy influence of competi
ton at cattle shows we must greatly
attribute the present fine, improved
character of our Aocks and herds. In
the exhibited animal the breeder sees
what points to cultivate or avoid. IL
he determines on making mark him
self, he does not fail to procure the
blood of some winning strains. He
cannot well do it without. Other la
borers, however, have been in the
field, and he enters upon their harvest.
1t would be folly to attempt to perfect
an old unpedigreed strain of Short
horns, whilst the work is already to
hand in a far advanced stage, from
which the breeder may at once take
his starting point without loss of time.
1t is this consideration which puts
a somewhat fictitious value, apparent
ly. on the strains of cattle, horses and
sheep which have special character
and power of transmitting their best
qualities to their descendants. Ii is
not the value of the individual animal
as food producer or as a breeder Of
ordinary stock for sale to the grazier
or butcher, bat its potentiality for
good for generations to come that
makes it much-coycted prize. The
MANY wears of skill and science also
spent III developing the strain, the
costly experience gained in the face of
many difficulties, all go to render high
" bred animals valuable. Were it
otherwise. fancy prices would be ride
ulous. The cost of producing stock is
necessarily included in their market
price-following common law of
commerce. Thus prices that some
times appear sensational are frequent
" but a natural result of time and
treasure sunk in forming the special
type, which, if broken, would take a
generation to Farmers Home
