Every balky horse. unless il inherits
the habit Is q living witness against
some owner or driver. This difficulty
is not physical, bat a moral one. and
in most cases is acquired by the animals
being overloaded 4 horse generally
has pretty definite idea of how much
ii ought 10 draw, and if this amount is
exceeded baking is the very natural
result. IL Is far more easy to prevent
than 10 cure the habit Of baking when
once acquired; no harsh treatment will
ever break il. Firmness and kindness
alone will avail anything. Never apply
a whip TO horse when il is baking
nor after il starts. Success in training
and covering animals lies in ones abil-
ity 10 make them uncomfortable when
disobedient and comfortable when they
obey. And yet how often do we
see foolish drivers when a horse has
baked and refused 10 start for a while.
when il does start make il uncomfor-
table by putting on the whip while il is
doing what they wanted it to. 1t is
whipped when il stands, and whipped
when it goes.-This foolish practice has
grown from the foolish idea that punish
ment must be given for what has been
done, and the horse has no opportunity
10 learn that il is better for it TO obey.
than not to obey consequently it cannot
learn to obey-.Bufalo Commercial.

Bats.

Almost every farmer is troubled
with rats, either at his barn or in his
house. A correspondent of the Prac-
teal Farmer gives the following, which
he calls the German plan, and recon-
mends it after several years trial as
safe and successful Mix calcined
plaster such as plasterers use to make
"hard finish" on walls, one-third of the
plaster with two thirds corn meal; mix
dry and place it where it will keep
dry, under stable floors for instance.
The action of the mixture as soon as
it comes in contact with the stomach
is this: the plaster sets, becomes
stone, and death to the rats is the sure
result; and should your pigs, cats or
dogs eat the rats no trouble ensues, as
the plaster is already set. Poultry
readily grind it in their crops.
A neighbor to whom had given
lot of plaster, a few days ago rushed
over to know if it would kill pigs his
boy had put handful of the prepare.
ton into a pail of milk and fed the
pigs. No trouble followed, for the
milk set the plaster before it reached
the pigs trough.

so much interest ia this discussion, sud
be thought that il was a step in the
right direction and productive Of much
good. We had been in the habit Of
holding farmers meetings with no far
mers in attendance. IL had been srgn-
cd that farmers meetings upon the Fair
grounds would not be well attended,
but the attendance here to night refuted
the argument.
Mr.. Bracket said he was irving to
get living by farming. aud he was
glad TO meet 50 MANY intelligent and
honest farmers. lie thought it was our
duty to learn what kind of farming
would paw and what would not paw. He
did not think that If his pasture would
carry ten cows that ten sheep could be
added without detrimeDt TO the cows.
lie was an advocate of mixed husban-
dry. He wanted the cow. the OK. the
sheep and the noble horse. and we
should produce the various crops adapt
ed TO this climate.
ID. II. Thing. Master Of the State
Grange. said that in 1868 he turned out
= piece of ground that had been moved
until it would scarcely paw for moving
and put in 40 sheep. The first year
they scarcely lived. The next year the
sheep could not eat all the grass. Then
he moved it without blowing for
four wears aud got a crop of grass -
thick that moving machine would
hardly go through it. lie then turned it
out 10 sheep again and has since raised
good potatoes from the same ground.
and he thought that ground could be
much improved by pasturing sheep up
on it. Some men had taste for one
kind OF stock some for another and he
thought a man was more likely to sue
coed in a calling in which he was in
terested than in calling for which he
had no taste. Mr.. Phillips OF Uermon
said be was pleased to see so many
ladies present and he hoped that in
future. their attendance would be lar
ger. which he thought would add large
ly TO the Interest OF the meeting.

the State Agricultural Society to the
