HORSES AND THE HORSE TRADE,

The number Of horses in the United
States is estimated at 100000, Illinois
ranking first in number of equines, New
York next with over half a million,
then Ohio, Missouri, Pennsylvania,
Texas, Iowa, Indiana and Kentucky.
The number Of horses in the New Eng
land States is estimated at 100000
Maine having the largest number, are,
Massachusetts, next. The farm or work
horses Of Maine and Vermont are not
ed throughout the land. The farmer
who breeds horses knows his own in
terest well enough to study the tastes
of the community, and to breed up to
them. Speed is, to be sure, only one of
the many qualities which are essential
to a good roadster, and size, style, &C
ton. temper, form, constitutions and
enduring qualities are equally import
ant in making a general estimate of
the character of horses. The horses
raised in Maine are, generally speaking,
fine specimens Of the equine race. So
are those imported from Vermont and
Canada, the latter having peculiarities
of their own, quite distinct from the
New England animal.-West-

WHAT A CHILD CAN DO.

"Pa, I have signed the pledge" said
little boy to his father on coming
home one evening; twill you help me
tie keep it?"
Certainly said the father.
''Well, / have brought copy of the
pledge; will you sign it, papa?"
Nonsense, nonsense, my child!
What could I do when my brother Off
GERS called"-The father had been in
the army-"If was a teetotaler?"
"But do try, papa"
"Tut, tut; why you are quitea little
radical"
"Well, you won't ask me to pass the
bottle, papa?"
"You are quite fanatic, my child;
But [ promise not to ask you to tonch
it."
Some weeks after that, two officers
called in to spend the evening.
"What have you to drink?" said
they. Have yon any more of that
prime Scotch aIe?"
"No,' he said "I have not, but shall
get some"
Here, Willie, run to the store and
tell them to send some bottles up"
The boy stood before his father res
pectifully, but did not go.
"Come, Willie; why, what's the mat
ter? Come, run along" He went but
came back presently without any bot
ties.
"Where's the ale, Willie?"
Il asked them for it at the store, and
they put it upon the counter, but 7
could not touch it. @ pa, pa! don't be
angry; told them to send it up, but /
could not touch it myselfp'
The father was deeply moved, and
turning to his brother officers, he said:
Gentlemen, you hear that? You
can do as you please. When the ale
comes, you may drink it, but not anoth-
er drop shall pass my lips. Willie,
have you your temperance pledge?
80 pa! have"
Bring it thenp'
And the boy was back with it in a
moment The father signed it, and the
little fellow chung around his fathers
neck with delight. The ale came, but
no one drank, and the bottles stood on
the table untouched.
Children, sign the pledge, and ask
your parents to help you to keep it.
Don't touch the bottle, and try to keep
others from touching it.-Eg

WORDS OF WIsDOM--A grain of pru-
dence is worth a pound Of craft.
Boosters are cousins to liars. Confess
sion Of fault makes half amends. De-
nying fault doubles it. Envy shoot

Foolish fear doubles danger. God
reaches us good things by our own
hands. He has hard work who has
nothing to do. It costs more to avenge
wrongs than to bear them. Knavery
is the worst trade. Learning makes a
man fit company for himself. Modes
ty is a guard to virtue. Not to hear
conscience is way to silence it. One
hour to-day is worth two tomorrow.
Proud looks makes foul words in fair
faces. Quiet conscience gives quiet
sleep. Richest is he that wants least.
Small faults INDUCED are little thieves.
The boughs that bear most hang low

Virtue and happiness are near kin.

Evergreens and Ornamental Trees.

The Scotch pine is the most rapid
grower of all our hardy evergreens-
very valuable for forest planting. 1t
is also valuable for planting in poor
soil where other evergreens will not
flourish, and makes an excellent wind
break for sheltering orchards, build
ings, etc.
The Norway Spruce is so well
known as being the best evergreen for
ornamental purposes, that it is only
necessary for us to say that it is also
valuable for hedges, screens, and for
timber.
The Austrian pine. The black pine
of Austria was introduced into Brit
ain in 1886, and into this country a
few years later, and is deservedly IA
vorite in ornamental grounds. 1t is
very hardy, symmetrical and compact,
presenting dense mass of rich dark
green foliage in winter. "5@
1t is also becoming a favorite for
forest planting. Grigor says: "It is of
robust growth, particularly in soft soil
or any quality. It carries a breadth
along with its upward growth, which
adapts it for exposed ground. In it's
native country it sometimes attains the
height Of 100 feet, and it's timber is
strong and resinous.
Mountain Pine Pi1aatS Mofato1ao), is
a beautiful little tree or bush, foliage
very dense, and of rich dark green, val
liable for ornamental purposes. 1t is
perfectly hardy in the most exposed
1t can be used with goodl
effect to cover barren and unsightly
bluffs and sandy knobs, railroad cuts,
etc.
The European or Tyrolese Larch
(Larir Europa, is the great timber
tree Of Europe, combining rapid growth
with great durability. Extreme hard
ness, adaptability to any variety OF
soil, not too wet, and a remarkable
freedom from disease. It is also very
desirable as an ornamental tree. Its

TURKISH VALoR. - The European
and Christian races every where, the
races which account themselves the
greatest, wisest, and bravest Of the
earth, have watched with amazement
the spectacle of invalid and semi-bar-
barous Turkey contending on even
terms with gigantic and organized
Russia.
At the outbreak of this struggle the
civilized world supposed that it would
be pitiably unequal; that, without the
assistance Of some one of the great
powers" the Moslems would be crush
ed in q single campaign; that the adj
vance Of the Muscovite armies would
be little more than triumphal prom
made. It was commonly supposed that
the superiority Of Russia in soldierly
disposition, intelligence, and education
at least equalled her advantage in
wealth and numbers. It had come to
be an accepted credence, almost equiv
alent to military maxim, that Asiatic
and semi-Asiatic troops could not stand
before Europeans.
We have seen enough during the
summer of 1877 to lead us to question
all these beliefs. Whatever may be the
termination of the contest, the Turkish
generals have showed formidable ca
pacity, and the Turkish soldiers have
exhibited heroic courage. They have
not only defended intrenchments with
their historic tenacity, but they have
them with impetuosity, and
with success. Embodied,
they seem to be the equals Of the Rus
slams, and man to man, thsir superiors.
What is the meaning of this wonder
full uprising and resuscitation of apeo-I
pie whom all Europe looked upon as
decadent and effeninated?
The truth is that there has been no
change in the character of the Otto /
mans. We have not read their history
thoroughly and with discrimination.
Arguing loosely from their military
disasters, we have not done justice to
heir martial qualities. They have al
ways been brave, even in their over
throws. Their most unfortunate wars,
he wrestles in which they have suffer
I'd defeat on defeat, have been illustra-
ted by signal instances of heroism such |
as the most warlike nations might glo-
~ in. If they have lost territory, it
aas never been through lack of yalor,
nor altogether from want of good gen.
but mainly from defect of
preparation-J. w. De FOREST, in
Ha4pea's Magazine for January.

Oldest Human Relic in the World

In the Etruscan Vase Room at the
British Museum is to be seen the skel-
eton of one Pharaoh Mykerinus, de-
Gently incased in it's original burial
clothes, and surrounded by fragments
Of the coffin, Whereon the name of it's
occupant can be easily read by Egypt
ologists, affording conclusive evidence
that lit once contained the mummy of a
King who was reigning in Egypt more
than a century before the time of
Abraham. The proof is thus explain
ed in the Ge7atzene0a1's Magazine, April,
1868. About two years ago, Herr Du-
emichen, German explorer of the
monuments of Egypt, following up the
indications pointed out byM Marietta,
a distinguished arch8ologist, discover
ed on the buried walls Of the temple of
Osiris, Abydos, a large tablet contain
ing the names of the ancient Pharaohs
from the time of Mizraim- the grand
son of Noah, the founder Of the Egypt
ian monarchy-to that of Pharaoh Sc
ii l., the father Of the well-known
.Rameses the Great, including thereby
the chronology of nine centuries, viz,
from B. G. $500 to B. G. 400. This
tablet, by far the most important yet
discovered, has been compared to the
sculptured figures of the Kings of Eng
land, at the Crystal Palace, from Will
liam the Conquerer to Her Majesty
Queen Victoria. Astronomical evil
dence, moreover, enables us to deter
mine the time Of two important epochs
in the history of Egypt, one of which
is connected with our present subject.
Sir John Herschel has fixed the age of
the Great Pyramid Of Ghizeh to the
middle of the twenty-scond century
before Christ. The tabht of Abydos
shows that the Pharaoh whose bones
we now possess succeeded the builder
of the Great Pyramid with only two
intervening Kings. We are, therefore.
warranted in assuming that the re.
mains of Pharaoh Mykernus BELONG to
the ageto which we have assigned them

RAISING FRUIT TREES.

EDITORS WESTERN RURAL:-I would
like to have some information on this
subject. How are the seeds managed?
Do you keep them dry until planting,
or should they be kept moist? When
should they be planted; that is, plums,
peaches and cherries; also apple seeds.
Should the pits be cracked. You will
oblige me by answering through your
valuable paper. READER
Hart, Mich.
To secure success the seeds of the
trees mentioned must not be permitted
to become dry. The thick covering of
chestnuts, walnuts, ETC., frequently be-
come so dry and hard by long exposure
to air, as to prevent termination alto
gether. Apple seeds and some others
which have been allowed to become
very dry, may sometimes be started by
scalding and then exposing them to
the action of frost. The proper way
to treat the seeds named, so as to keep
them sound is to imbed them in moist
sand, or leaf mould from the time they
are taken from the tree until planted
in the earth.
There are several methods of keep
ing the seeds of the peach, plum, etc.
IF they are thoroughly mixed with
earth and buried six or eight inches
deep, they will be found in the spring
in proper condition for planting. The
kernels swell often bursting the shell
In the case Of peaches, some cultiva
tors remove the shell from all the pits
but that is hardly necessary, as the
former is no obstruction to tht
growth of the germ. There is one ad
vantage, however, in removing thu
shells; it determines the point of vi
tality or soundness of the seed.
! Spring is generally recognized as th
best time to plant such seeds; but tn
Iseed-bed should be prepared will

conical shape, regular, delicate branch
es, and soft light green leaves, making
striking contrast to the different va
rieties of European and other trees.
Four by four feet is the distance rec
commended for planting the larch and
other coniferous trees in forest, on the
prairies, as, at that distance apart they
can be worked both ways with the Gull
tiyator for two or three years. The
side branches will by that time shade
the ground and destroy the under
growth, and no more cultivation be re.
quired. We would recommend ploW-
ing up to the trees the first autumn at
ter planting, blowing the burrows back
late in the Spring. Most European
planters prefer mixing Pines with Lar
ches, as this adds to the appearance of
the plantation, and gives choice IN
thinning. We would advise planting
few rows of the admixture on the
margin of the plantation, at least. and
in all cases where the plantations are
placed along the outer boundaries OF
the farm, we would recommend free
duullAUuIO VI CN
A clean corn stubble, from which the
corn stalks have been removed, would
be suitable place for planting larch
forest in the Fall; planting tree close
up to the north side Of each cornhlll,
the stubble (Which should be about two
feet high) making a good protection
through the Winter. A good spadeful
of earth shonld be laid up to each tree
after it is planted, to prevent its heav-
ing by frost. Fall planting should be
practised only on land from which wa
ter will pass off freely. When spring
planting is practised the land should be
plowed in the Fall, as the larch ought
to be planted early in the Spring.
Tree planting being still in it's infan'
cy in this country, many persons wish.
ing to plant are at a loss to know the
kinds best adapted to their soils, AND
how and when to plant.
We would advise all such persons tc
procure Bryant's work on Forest and
ornamental tree planting. Mr.. Arthur
Bryant, of Princeton, Ill, President OF
the Illinois State horticultural Society
is the author. He is so well known as
having had from IS to 40 years expe
rience in the tree planting in the West
that it is. needless to say this will be &
standard work among Western tree
planters.-RobeTt Douglas G Sons Cat

The chestnut is one of the most beau
tiful trees, whether it's flowers, foliage
or fruit are considered. Old trees,
growing singly in pastures, not unfre-
quently possess the grandeur of the
oak, and are often mistaken for it.
Nothing can be more exquisite than
the silky. silvery down covering the
nuts and lining the husk before it is
marred by the touch of rude fingers.
The young trees, with their soft, thrifty
bark are always beautiful, and the
value Of the timber is too well known
to need comment. They thrive better
on light, dry soil than on heavy, wet
land.
