Treatment of Shying Horses.

Shylng generally arises from timieii-
ty, but sometimes it is united with
cunning, and induces the animal to as.
sumo fear Of some object for the sole
purpose of finding an excuse for turn
ing aside. The usual cause of shyness
is, doubtless, the presence of some OBJ
ject to which the horse has not been
accustomed, and if he has defective
eyes, which render him shortsighted,
it will be difficult to convince him of
the innocent nature Of the novel OBJ
Ject. There are endless peculiarities
in shying horses, some being dreadful
ly alarmed by one kind of object,
which to others is not at all formida-
BILE. The best plan of treatment,
which can be adopted, is to take as
little notice as possible of the shying,
and to be specially careful not to show
any fear Of its recurrence when the
alarming object appears in the dis
lance. 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
cannot be otherwise 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 vic
lence as possible, always commanding
in an encouraging tone as soon as the
purpose is gained. Nothing has so
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 it with his muZ-
zle, as well as with his eyes, great
good will be effected. but this can sell
dom be done with moving vehicles,
and heaps of stone or piles of sand are
generally only alarming from defect
i've vision, SO that each time they as
sumo new phase to the active imagi-
nation CT the timid animal. Furnishing
bits only make high couraged animal
worse, and the use of ''overchecks
rarely, if ever, prove beneficial.

FARM AND GARDEN.


| Agriculture the Mother of all Professions.
AS the earth is the mother of all
mankind, SO agriculture is the mother
of all other professions, and this is the
reason why all other professions seek
and find succor from their mother. 1t
is natural for a child, when it wants
bread, to ask it's mother for it. She is
considered by all her children rich in
this worlds goods. She has stores laid
up for many years, and she has good
farm, and in their times of need it is
natural for her children to expect as
siStance from her. On the other
hand, the unnatural urchins never
once spend a thought about her ne
cessities, her hard labors, or of in.
proving her condition. She is rich,
they say, she has stores of bread and
meat. and she has good farm. She
requires no aid from us, and thus it
goes, our good old mother has nothing
to do but toll and sweat at her drudg-
cry, provide bread and meat for all of
her children and pay the bills for all
manner of expenditures.
Now these children do very wrong.
They should assist the old lady in
every possible way. They should en-
courage her work people, and build
good school houses for them and edu-
cate them; and they should give them
Christmas and New Years presents,
and curious trinkets in the form of
premiums, medals, and all sort of
things. This would stimulate them to
serve the old lady more faithfully,
theoretically and efficiently, and would
render her days more cheerfully and
her nights more comfortable. Let all
the world think of this. Only suppose
the old lady should die, what would
become Of all your professional men,
merchants, mechanics, all Where
would the bread, meat and clothing
come from

A TERRIBLE COUGH!.

How often we hear The above re.
mark during these extreme changes o.

were never more prevalent among children
than now. Now we are going to urge you tc
try a remedy which has excited comments
by physicians all over the country, who &C.

and happy results from its use. That remedy
is the well-known preparation, HALE's

tell you that it is the best cough medicine
they ever sold; and will warrant cure OF
return your money to you in case of failure
after using one-half the bottle. 1t is very
pleasant to the taste, making it very de-
sirable remedy for children.

THE TYPE-sETTER's SONG.

The type-setter stands before his case
The lamps burn low and the night is deep
And over the staggering chimney stack
Darkness and shadows creep,
And the city is lost in sleep.
The type-setter stands there, gaunt and gray.
with dim oldeyes and weary brain
And he sings cadence solemn and low
To the beat OF the bitter rain
0n rafting skylight and pane.
Tremble the ralters, roof and floors.
As he fingers the types, in his desolate
way,
As he hears the music family borne
from the Orpheus over the way
As rend'ring some old-time Law.
The old man sings, and trembles the floors
W lth the believing engine down below,
And the crash OF the whistling axle-bars
And the thunders that from them grow.
Echong to and tro.
As he fingers the types in his desolate way,
He sets them up with "Cap side-head; ;"
And a marge OF black encireled his work
The name OF man just dead;
soul in the battle sped.
Lower and lower the lamp-ights burn,
And grow the shadows dusky and gray;
And the storm is hushed and the music's
swell
At the Orpheus over the way,
And finished the old-tlme lay.
The types no more with his fingers move,
And he smiles that, while setting the name
below,
The angels in tender love
Were settiGg ii up above.

Winter Wheat.

y farmer from Carver county, re-
Gently brought load of No. winter
wheat into the Minneapolis market,
but he could not find solitary miller
who would purchase it. Subsequently
Mr.. Herrick, of Globe Mills, out on the
road to Hopkins, purchased it at eighty
cents per bushel. Mr.. Herrick informs
us that he expects to lose money on
the wheat.
1t appears by this transaction that
winter wheat is not worth so much as
spring wheat. This, certainly, is a
revolution in the wheat trade. A few
years since, winter wheat was consid-
cred far ahead of spring wheat. Now
spring wheat is the best. Well, what
is the cause of this Simply the man
ner in which the spring wheatis made
into flour. The new patent process
has pushed spring wheat -four away
ahead of winter wheat flour.
Under these circumstances then, we
would advise no farmer to raise win
ter wheat. We are willing to confess
that it is very hard for us to arrive at
the conclusion that better bread can be
made from spring wheat than from
winter wheat, but the facts are against
us, and are obliged to give it up, with
the quotation from the good book,
''Old things have passed away.

Of all things in the world, be neat
about the farm. If you have thrifty
wife. take pattern by her management
indoors. Swept and busted all her
rooms, and made attractive with many
tasteful ornaments, your farm may
be made as pleasing as the house. The
yard and wood, pile may be kept as
slightly as the shining cook-stove,
where all sticks finally go. The fences
may be one of the prettiest parts of
the landscape, if they are only kept
painted or whitewashed. The stone
walls do continually tumble, or get
knocked down, we admit, but it don t
take long to pick up two or three of
the fallen rocks and put them in their
place, when you are passing by. The
barn may be made the sweetest place
around, if care is taken to keep the
cattle stalls clearly, as they should
be for every living creature. The
smell of packed hay, and the breath of
the cows, can never be equalled by the
chemist. In the harness room, there
is still more need of order and neat

The Chicago Ledger is said to have
spent $50 900 in advertising the past
two years, and by the looks of the news
papers throughout the United States,
we should say it would take as much to
go around this year. And to cap the
climax the proprietors have announ-
ced their paper at 81 90 a year. How
it is done is mystery, unless they
have more than''a barrel of money to
give away. We believe. however, it
is the theory of the publishers that
all they ask of the reader is to pay for
the white paper and postage for their
labor, when the paper reaches l00,0 900
or more circulation, their advertising
will pay the profit. While they are
building up the paper they do not So

get great paper for $l.00 that is
