TREATMENT OF sHYING HORSES.

Shying generally arises from timidity,
but sometimes it is united with cunning,
and induces the animal to assume fear OF
some object for the cole purpose of find
ing an excuse for turning aside. The
usual cause of shying is, doubtless, the
presence of some object to which the
horse has not been accustomed, and if he
has defective eyes, which render him
short-sighted, it will be difficult to con-
vince him of the innocent nature of the
novel object. There are endless pecu-
liarities in shying horses, some being
dreadfully alarmed by one kind of OBJ
jcct which to others is not at all formi-
dabIe. The best plan of treatment which
can be adopted, is to take as little notice
as possible of the shying. and to be espe-
cially careful to show no fear of its recur-
renee when the alarming" object ap-
pears in the distance. When the horse
begins to show alarm, but not till then,
the driver should speak encouragingly to
him, and if necessary with a severe tone,
which may even be supported by the Use
of the whip if his onward progress can,
not otherwise be maintained
The principle which should be carried
out is to adopt such measures as will get
the horse to pass the object at which he
SHES, somehow or other, and this should
be effected with as little violence as pos
sible, always commanding in an encour-
aging tone as soon as the purpose is gained
Nothing has 50 great tendency to keep
up the habit as the plan so common
among ignorant grooms of chastising the
shyer after he has passed the object of
his alarm. If he can be persuaded to go
quietly up to it, and examine with his
muzzle, as well as with his eyes, great
good will he effected, but this can seldom
be done with moving vehicles, and heaps
of stones or piles of sand are generally
only alarming from defective vision, 50
that each time they assume a new phase
to the active imagination of the timid
animal. Furnishing bits only make
high-couraged horse worse, and the Use
of overchecks" rarely, il ever, proves
beneficial.

THE SEVEN ICES OF MIN.

There are few persons who have not
read Shakspeare's beautiful description
of The Seven Ages of Man." An an
cient Hebrew sage, Madrart Koheloth,
in O. Hurwitz's Hebrew Tales" has given
us his thoughts on the same subject:
The first commences in the first year
of human existence, when the infant lies
like king on soft couch. with numer-
GUS attendants about him-all ready to
serve him, and eager to testify their
love and attachment by kisses and en-
braces.
The second commences about the age
of two or three years, when the darling
child is permitted to crawl on the ground,
and like an unclean animal delights
in dirt and fifth.
Then, at the age of ten, the thoughtless
boy, without rejecting on the past or
caring for the future, jumps and skips
about like young kid on the enameled
green, contented to enjoy the present
moment.
The fourth stage begins about the age
of twenty, when the young man, full OF
vanity and pride, begins to set off his
person by dress, and, like young un-
broken horse, Frances and gallops about
in search of a wife.
Then comes the matrimonial state,
when the poor man, like the patient ass,
is obliged, however reluctantly, to toll
and labor for a living.
Behold him now in the parental state,
when, surrounded by helpless children.
craving his support and looking to him
for bread, he is as bold, as vigilant, and
as fawning too, as the faithful dog
guarding his little flock, and snatching
at everything that comes in his way, il
order to provide for his offspring.
At last comes the final stage, when the
decrepid old man, like the unwieldly
though sagacious elephant, become:
grave, sedate and distrustful. He also
then begins to hang down his head to
ward the ground, as if surveying the
place where all his vast schemes mus
terminate, and where ambition and van
ity are finally humbled to the dust.

cure is effected.
To these three medicines DIR. J. II. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, his unrvalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter In

ration for when the phlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonc Syrup to do this Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Scheuck Mandrake Pills act the liver, removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder, the bile

LIQUID GRAETING W.aH.

The following is recipe for making
Lefort's liquid grating wax, which is
highly commended in France, where it
was invented, and until lately kept Sc
cret: Melt one pound of common resin
over gentle fire. Add to it an ounce
of beef tallow and stir it well. lake it
from the fire, let it cool down a little,
and then mix with teaspoonful of
spirits of turpentine, and after that
about seven ounces of very strong alco-
hol (sixty-ive per cent?. The alcohol
cools it down so rapidly that it will be
necessary to put it again on the fire,
stirring it constantly. Still the utmost
care must be exercised to keep the alco-
hol from getting inflamed. To avoid it
the best way is to remove the vessel from
the fire when the lump that may have
been formed commences melting again.
This must be continued till this is a
homogeneous mass, similar to honey.
After few days exposure to the atmos-
phere it assumes whitish color, and be-
comes as hard as stone, being impervious
to water or air.

COTTON,

Late planted cotton grows better than
early planted, but in localities where the
seasons are short, it is important to plant
early, to secure maturing of the crop.
Cotton should be planted very shallow
one inch sample depth. But dry weather
prevailing, it may not come up if the
seeds are so near the surface. The old
fashioned plan of opening furrow with
scooter and covering with two burrows of
the same, and then knocking off with a
board just as the cotton is ready to come
up, is the surest, but it is slow and tedi-
Gus. A planter with wheel running in
bottom of furrow, and pressing the earth
in narrow drill into which the seeds
fall, and covering with board pressed
down by spring, or by block, will
under ordinary circumstancesg give good
stand. If the beds are rough and cloddy,
it is best to precede the planter with a
harrow, which We will briefly describe.
1t is simply an ordinary triangular har-
row, from two and half to three feet in
width behind, and with teeth set a little
sloping backward to prevent its fouling.
The front tooth should be about six
inches long in the clear and tie rearmost
ten inches, the intervening ones increas-
ing gradually in length from front to
rear. Such harrow will hug bed,
clean it off, still leave it elevated, and
with a uniform rounded surface. We
find it exceedingly useful in our own
practice for smoothing and fresAening
the surface of beds. 1t is great point
gained in cotton culture to have the
young plants in straight narrow line
on smooth. gently rounded bed-the
first working can then so easily be given

The GROWTH OF LANGUAGE.-Let
us take familiar word, of which every
body knows the modern meaning, the
word bishop" 1t comes from the
Greek "episkopos," which again is de-
rived from the root skep,' see or look,
with the prefix "epi," upon, so that it
means inspector or oyerseer In the
primitive days of Christianity, one per
son was selected to overlook the affairs OF
each little community, and, in the most
natural manner, he was termed the
eplskopos, or overiooker. With us the
word bishop" signifies ecclesiastical
dignitary, or spiritual lord, something as
different from its original meaning, as il
in thousand years time we should find
the word chairman" used to denote q
person Of the most exalted rank. lust as
we use earl" or "duke."
Extreme old age is childhood extreme
wisdom is ignorance, and so it may be

HOW TO GET EARLY TOM4TOES.


As soon as your tomato plant has made
four leaves, pincn the top bud from the
stem, then take mp the plant, pinch off
two inches from the tap root and trans
plant it in a common box frame where the
soil is rich and loamy. The box will
keep off the wind, and plants sown and
grown there eighteen inches apart will
produce fruit too weeks sooner than the
same planted in the open ground. A mat
or a few boards spread over the frame at
night will keep them from frost, and is far
easier and quicker than going over a field
nightly and setting boxes over each hill.
As soon as the plants have set fruit on
two blossoms of each branch, and the top
has grown. two to four leaves, the pinch
ing off the end of each branch and top
should be again put into practice.

ing not injuring it in the least, l think
that the artichoke would take trent rank
among crops to feed stock. Five years
since, while conversing with practical
old farmer on the subject of raising roots
to feed stock, he gave it as his opinion,

other root as cheaply raised or that
yielded so heavily as the artichoke. The
course that l have adopted in raising
them is the same as. for the potato, they
may be planted either in hills or drills,
and, as the frost does not injure them,
they may be planted as early in the spring
as the ground is ready. As they make
an immense growth of tops the tubers do
not form until fall, about the time they
blossom; but then they grow very rap

the potato does in four.-0hio Farmer.
