Memory of the Horse.

Many are aware, from their own obser-
walton, how familiar horses become with
particular roads and localities, so that, if
left to their own choice, they will take the
road to which they are best accustomed,
or which leads to well-furnished stall, in
preference to another; and it is also easy
to note that they often proceed with much
more apparent alacrity in getting home
than when going away from home. But
the memory of the horse is more tenacious
than is commonly supposed. A gentleman
having on one occasion travelled along a
certain road, at considerable distance
from home, turned off to pay visit to
friend, at whose hospitable board his horse
found rest and refreshment, as well as him
self Riding along the same road about
year after, he wished to see il the horse
retained any recollection of the place and
occurrence, and when he came near where
the road to his friends house branched
off from the main road, he let the reins
fall loosely on the horses neck Presently
the horse pricked up his ears, quickened
his pace, and on coming to the roadside
unhesitatingly turned into it, instead of
going straight on CALIFORNIA Farmer.

Horse-stable Floors.


The Germantown Telegraph says that
the long debated question as to the best
material for stable floors, is being revived.
A clay floor was held out for years, and
such was the earnestness Of its advocates
and the many arguments brought to bear
upon it, that we were induced some fifteen
or twenty years ago to try it. In three or
four months we had the planks back again,
being severely satisfied of the disadvanta
ges of clay for horses. Our present floor
of plank is simply inclined little from
front to rear, where the usual gutter is
made to carry of the liquid weddings.
We de not believe in sand, coal-ashes,
saw-dust, asphaltum, flags, eobble-stones,
or any of these modern devices to iniure
horses. Thus far we have never noticed
that this little inclination was in any way
injurious and we doubt whether the wood
en- grating placed over the planking would
be advisable on the ground that the ami
NAL would be no more comfortable, while
this movable grating or second foor might
lead to accidents When person can
keep horses in good, sound, healthy con-
dition for from five to seven years, as we
have done on carefully constructed plank
flooring, inclining little to the rear, it is
just as well to be satisfied with it.

Diseases of the Horse.


Darwin sums up the result Of his re-
searches on this subject in the following
paragraphs Even if no single fact has
been known with respect to the inheritance
Of disease and malformations by man, the
evidence would have been complete in the
case Of the horse, and this might have
been expected, as horses breed quicker
than man, are matched with care and are
highly valued. l have consulted many
works, and the unanimity of belief by We
terinarians Of all nations in the transmits
sion Of various morbid tendencies, is sur
prising. Authors who have had wide expe-
rience, give in detail many singular cases,
and assert that contracted feet, with the
numerous contingent evils of ring bones,
curbs, splints, SPAWN, founder, and weak
ness Of the front legs, broken and thick
wind, melanosis, specific ophthalma, and
blindness, (the great French veterinarian,
Huggard, going so far as to say that a
blind race could soon be formed } cribbit-
ing, jibbing, and ill-temper-are all plainly
hereditary. Youatt sums up by saying
that "there is scarcely malady to which
the horse is subject that is not hereditary"
and Mr.. Huggard adds that the doctrine
shat there is scarcely disease that does
not run in the stock, is gaining new ad-
yocates every day.
may add to these facts, established BY
such weight of concurrent testimony, what
! have before remarked in general, name
ly, that it is not the actual ailments, such
as contracted feet, ring bones, curbs, splints
and SPAWN, but the predisposing causes
that are transmitted. The disposition of
parts, the imperfect shape and size or the
faulty texture of any tendon, bone or mus
Gle most favorable to particular disease,
are transmitted from sire to son. The
same may Be said of those disorders that
effect the internal organs Of the whole
body. The abnormal condition of the
blood, and not the scrofulous symptoms it
produces, is hereditary. The weakness in
some Of the muscles of the larynx that
causes roaring has hereditary tendency.
The narrow loins and fiat sides that give
q proneness Of attacks of diarrhea and
collie, belong to a certain lienage. This
constant tendency Of morbid condition or
defective organs to appear in their line,
shows how important it is that horses Sc
lected for breeding should be sound in
wind, limb and acknowledgements

Training Fast walkers.

! do not think that drivers, as a gener-
al rule, take as much pains to teach their
colts to walk fast as they should. When
a colt is taking his first lessons on the
road, it should be the drivers aim to de-
velop him into fast walker, If possible,
as this is one Of the most desirable points
horse can possess. The fast walker, not
only IS a much pleasauter horse 10 drive,
but he viii accomplish great deal more
work (either on the road or hitched to the
plough with ease to himself, than it
would be possible for slow walking horse
to do. Besides, if a horse is good walk
er, he is generally a good horse other
ways. He has one gait at least which he
can show to good advantage and this is
what many horses do not possess. In
short it is conceded by all, that the fast
walking gait is desirable feature in a
horse.
Now the question arises, how can we
make fast walker out Of a naturally slow
one? My way is this. If / have good
honest horse with good walking gait,
hitch the colt beside him, and drive them
together. If the colt lags behind he must
be urged along, and kept even with the
faster horse. If sufficient pains be taken,
the colt will soon get in the habit of keep
ing up with his mate, but if it is not conven.
lent to hitch up with another horse, the
next best way is to lead the colt a hall
mila or Ynora da;lr, xv,tb n kr;dlo -. l. oI.o-
and take your whip and make the walk a
lively one. Any colt that is sound and
in health should be capable of walking
four miles to the hour. By trimming him
in this way, and taking pains when driving
to keep the pace good, the colt will soon
develop into fast walker, and fifty
dollars at least be added to his value, il
he be otherwise valuable colt.-Home.

ovsr-Bsariug Grape Vines.

Many varieties Of grape vines are liable
to over-bear, especially when the soil is
not rich, giving the roots poor chance to
extend, owing to its hardness and in such
cases, if very large quantity Of fruit sets,
1t is best to remove portion of it when
very small. Take pair of scissors in
June, and clip out from one-third to one
half Of the smallest clusters, and what is
left viii ripen we'll and be worth double
what the entire crop would be if left upon
the vines.
There are many places where grape
growing j not considered profitable, solely
owing to an improper management of tho
vines. The soil being naturally not very
fertile, and perhaps otherwise not weh
adapted to grape-growing in careless way,
the vines are generally set where the roots
cannot easily expand, perhaps by the side
Of a walk, in the grass, or near building,
where they are quite as badly situated, If

To obtain the largest possible quantity

PLANTING EvERGREENs.-We advise
planting eyergreens, and all other trees,
a little deeper than they grow. The
greatest drawback with early transplanted
evergreens, is the liability Of exposure, on
certain hot days, to strong southwest
winds in April and May. June trans
planting often comes at dry season. A
continual drouth too often proves fatal at
this season so, on the whole, we prefer
early planting Of all the coniferous trees.
We find no objectionn to planting ever
green trees as soon as the frost is out Of
the ground. 1t is delusion to believe
that June is the only proper time to plant
evergreens. Plant them with care from
March to June 18th. Don't dry the roots.
Cut back much Of the previous years
growth, also thin out numerous small
branches, it often saves the life of trees
do this at planting. Copious spring show
ers after planting make success doubly
