Frozen Bits for Horses Mouths.
From the Boston Herald.

Let any one who hsa the care of horse
these cold, frosty mornings deliberately
grasp in his hand piece of iron; indeed
let him touch to j, the tip ofhis tongue, and
then let him thrust the bit into the mouth Of
his horse, if he has the hear. to do it. The
horec is an animal Of nervous organization
His mouth il formed Of DELEGATE glands
and tissues. The temperature ofthe bleod
is the same as in the human being, and, as
in man, the mouth is the warmest part OF
The body. Imaeine, we repeat, the irrita.
ton that would be caused the human, and
consider that If not to the same degree,
still the suffering to the animal is very
great. And it il not momentary pain.
Food is eaten with difficulty. aud the irri-
tation repeated day after day causes loss Of
appetite and loss of strength. Many a
horse has become worthless from no other
cause than this Before India rubber bits
were to te had l myself used bit covered
with leather, and on no account wenld
have dispensed with it in freezing weather

exhibited by the College of Agriculture,
and is known as the webster plou.s---
There is peculiar interest id q relic to
which the Demosthenes of America re-
ferred in saying: "When have bold Of
the handles of my big plow, with four
yokes of oxen to pull it through, and
hear the roots crack and see the stuups

thusiasm over my achievement, than
comes from my encounters in public
life at Washington" II is, indeed, q
"big plow," and Daniels muscles must
have been as big IS his brain to manage
it. Its extreme length is thirteen feet;
length of beam, nine feet one. inch;
length of landslide, four feet twoinches;
width of mould-board, twenty inches;
width of share, sixteen inches, and

3 Cellars and Foundations. .

A practical mechanic and builder
says !: A good foundation wall ahdna
good cellar are matters of the greatest
Importance in building. True, this fact
is not recognized at all times, and hence
the walls OF our houses are SCARED with
cracks, and dampness and malaria Come
up through the floors, moulding furni-
ture, rotting timber, and finally inducing
sickness and death. ~ Ia410
II you suspect that your cellar will
be vet, or even damp, see to it that tn
bottom is well drained with pipe. Do
not suppose that you can keep water
out Of cellar by cementing the bottom
and sides internally. Some houses are
without cellars, or have one only under
part of the house. This being the case,
the space between the floor and tho
ground not occupied by the cellar is
liable to be infested with vermin unless
the foundation is carried at least two
feet above the surface of the GROUND.

sehenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very eIec:ual A few
doses will create an appetite and give fresh vigor to
the enerated body. For dyspepsia, it is invalu-
able. Many eminent physicians have doubted
whether dyspepsia can be PERFECTLY cured by the
drugs which are generally employed for that pur-
pose. The Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is totally
different from such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive
minerals or acids in fact it ass sts the regular
operations Of nature, and supplies her deficiencies
The Tonic in its nature SO much resembles the gas
