BrealkInr a Trotter,

This common and exasperating habit,
which spoils SC many otherwise splendid
trotters, is a plain case for applying in
the ''ounce of prevention" If the colt is
trained so that he won't "break," or will
recover himself at once and without loss
from an occasional and perhaps inevita-
BILE loss of step, the horse will be a steady
goer.
To the boys, therefore, who are begin
ming to speed their favOrite colt this
spring, we say again: Remember that
your business is to educate to trot, not
TO teach him to run. But if be does
ever break, then let him break with a
vengeance. Let there be no halfway
work about it; no hating and hobbling
and coming back in the breeching, but
a regular plunge forward, aud a rockets
ike movement through the air. If he
breaks, make him gain by the break.
Make him understand that his business
is to go ahead, hit or miss, in one style
as long as possible; but to go it, style or
no style.
If you have green horse that comes
back in the breeching when he breaks, OF
even when his backbone begins to twist
up before the break has actually begun,
then give him the whip; give it TO him
/ SHAT y anu QUICK NOb I'LL GuGb nOnSoust
out of him at once; keep him sailing.
Do not yank" him now, ard grab at
him with the lines, as if your lite de-
| pended on pulling your wagon over his
back but let him take four or five
! jumps until his backbone is Strengthened
out, and he has got leveled down TO it, and
| is gathering his legs up under him like a
racer then move the bits in his mouth,
and pick him up" Don't saw and
sway him, and double him up until his
nose is down between his fore legs, and
his hauuches up over his shoulders.
Remember that his back must be kept
straight at all events, or he will not catch
his tret 20 uare, or Be able to keep it when
he has caught it. With sharp, firm
turn of your wrist, and lift on the bit,
pick his nose upward, and slightly to one
| side; this will throw him from his
balance just enough to make him grab
/ for his Bit" and not enough to twist him
| into unsteadiness or to slack him up.
! You may not succeed the first or sec
ond time, but persevere until you have
educated your wrist and eye to act in
\ conjunction, and you will then have
mastered one of the most difficult teatl
of finest horsemanship.-GP arscn Muir

An Owl ImprisOned nv Mart,n,-

The owner of large farm not far from
Lancaster had an opportunity few days
ago of witnessing how an interloper is
punished by the martin species of birds.
A pair of martins had taken possession
of a small box, and were building their
nest. One day while they were absent,
q screech owl took possession of the box,
and when the martins came home at
night would not allow them to enter
The smaller birds were nonplussed for
awhile, and in short time few away,
seemingly giving up the fight. But if
the owl was of this opinion he was sadly
mistaken, for in short time the little
ones returned, bringing with them whole
army of their companions, whe immedi-
ately set to work and, procuring mud,
plastered the entrance to the box shut
They then all flew away. In few days
the box WAS examined and the owl was
found dead.--[ Lancaster (Pa.) Exam

Fruit Drying In Tennessee.

GIVE had letter few DAYS ago from
a gentleman in Hartford, Conn, inquir.
ing about the feasibility of erecting a
tTuit-dTying establishment in this coun
try. We have written and advised him
to do so. We believe 1t will pay. and
now is the time to do it. With our Inn
mense crop coming on, fruit will be sold
at low prices. Such an establishment
will furnish employment for a large
number of laborers, and will open up 8
certain market to our farmers for their
fruit. Besides, we have learned upon
inquiry from one of our leading retail
grOcers. that fruit dried in this way is
worth in the New York market more
than double of that dried in the ordi-
nary way. We will probably have a
response from the gentleman alluded to
IN few days, and trust lie NAV be con-
WINGED that this will be a profitable in
vestment. We are greatly in earnest in
having our fruit crop cared for. It will
be source of revenue which we can not
afford to overlook in these hard times

Miracle Cure.

DR.. William A. Hammond, of New
York, has given new meaning, from a
scientific point of view, to the passage,
q According to your faith be it unto
you" He has made a series of expert
ments in proof of the proposition that
the credulous can be cured by the will
power of others. He can produce numb
ness or abnormal constituencies at pleasure,
the agency used having nothing really to
do with it. He calls it 80 the principle of
suggestion F" that is, if one person sug.
gest an idea to another who has complete
faith in that parsons power, the one acted
upon will experience all the sensations
the operator may suggest to him.
It seems that some time ago patient
of this eminent surgeon and physician of
mental and nervous diseases informed
him that she was going to Europe to try
the metal cure" He offered to save
her the trouble by sending over for a set
of the disks, rings, needles, ETC., used
for the purpose. Speaking of the first
experiment, not essentially different from
a good many others, he says:
tried the metals on patient who
came to see me. This was a lady also.
! told her had something new that had
been used very successfully in Europe,

of the metal disks at random and said {:
By placing this on the back of your
hand it will make your hand perfectly
insensible to pain applied the metal,
and sure enough, however severely l
pricked her hand and forearm, she felt
no pain. Now said /, here is the
opposite TO that metal. This will make
| your hand verv tender and sensible to
| pain. then placed another disk on the
back Of her hand, and after that ]
| couldn't touch her with the needle but
she would snatch her hand away and
shrek with paiu. ] then went through
the same ceremony, using disks of rubber
and othe non metallic substances, and
got precisely the same results, 1t is
very curious, and yet there is nothing
really new in it save the fact that have
demonstrated that the metals themselves
have nothing whatever to do with the
! phenomena."

The vEer.hap OF cotton.


Col. Hardeman, president of the
Georgia State Agricultural society, in
his address at its recent convention, thus
commends Georgia's staple:
" Decry cotton as you Will, 1t Is the
sheet anchor of Southern hopes of pros
perity 10 the present and independence
IN the future. God has given the
Southern planter in the cotton plant the
source of wealth ana power that nc
other people possess"
Is it not much nearer the truth TO say
that the southern people have suffered
severely within the last twenty years FOL
their mistake in Over-estimating the
power and wealth of King Cotton I?
WHY peFpetuate error and conceal ths
truths
When did the cotton plant give TO the
three cotton growing states of the Caro-
linss and Georgia (three of the old thir
teen calonies) the wealth and power tina

To Keep the Boys on the Farm.

Prof. W. j. Beal. of Siehgaa Agricultural College
1t is very Natural for parents to prefer
that their children should follow the
same business or profession that they
themselves follow. This is likely to be
true OF shoemRkers, merchants, millers
carpenters, etc Farmers are not excep.
tions to this rule.
Farming, when we'll conducted, is a
good and pleasant business. II our SOM
and daug ters do not like it, there il
always some good reason for their dislike
l have often taken an interest in tracing
out the reasons. They are likely to dis
like farming because they are not
blessed with the way in which their
parents have managed it. In some cases
the young person has q very decided
inclination to some other business.
Ii you want to make your son like his
business, place him in responsible places,
trust him consult him about the work he
is to do. Let him do part of the think
ing. Give him nearly the sole care or
responsibility of something on the farm ;
the fowls, the pigs, some of the other
stock, some of the crops, OF. the garden
or a part of it. Suppose he dOes
not do everything just as you
would; advise him. 1t is much better
that he should fail while he is yet
young and has time to learn under your
training, than to not try or fail till he
GOES into business for himself. By
treating children in this way they will
take more interest in their work, and
will be much more likely to succeed
when they start for them selves. Do not
make slaves of your children.
Too many Of our most prominent
farmers-iarmers who are called the
most successful-send their children tC
work each day as they would send an
ignOramus, without any " its OF
"ands," or reasons for so doing.
For want of proper training in this
respect, many a young mau has grown
up without mental discipline. He has
been able without much help, in an in
credibly short space of time, to run
through all that his strong-minded father
lett him. Twenty years ago l knew
such man. His farm wss called and
known as perfection for q long distance
around. He had son, who is to-day
living in sight of this old farm. He
owns only poor span of horses, and i
living from hand to mouth and very
poor living he gets at that. The fine es
tate slipped easily and rapidly from the
hand of the son who had no skill to man
age it, because he had never been placed
in responsible positions while he was 1
boy. So too often one generation makes
money for the next to squander. Ii
laying up comfortable fortunes for GU
children to waste we are doing them {
great injury. Better by far TO spenC
more of our time in giving them prop
er discipline to manage well. Then,
they are healthy, in most cases, the,
need only httlesta to make them wei
of in the goods OF this world.

sides of the
IMMENSE PRECIPICES
and it was along one of these that Mrs.
| MaIlett and her friends were travelling.
She rode a trusty horse, and was as cons
| posed as any of her party. They had
proceeded to a point beyond the horse
| trail and were descending a steep hill
The path was narrow one, the walls of
| the cannon shooting far up toward the
blue, clear sky, and down for hundreds
| of feet until they dipped into the dis
! turbed waters of the rapid rolling
Arkansas. 1t was at this dangerous
! SPOT that Mrs. Malletts horse stumbled
and fell. There was no room for the least
falter. This was, therefore, fatal step.
| Mrs. MaIlett, with almost incredible
presence of mind, disentangled her
self from her horse. Below her,
ten feet, was a shelving rock,
about fifteen inches wide. This she
struck and caught with her hands. With
nerve that would have made the sterner
sex proud of manhood, the lady held on
to the end of the rock, dangling in the
| air, gripping it with desperation. Had
! she let go, her next Judgment would have
been on another shelf fifty feet below.
! To hold on was therefore her only
resort. With all the dispatch possible
/ Mr.. Mallett and others came to her res
cue, and succeeded in taking her from
the perilOus situation, almost uniDjured
but OF course very much exhausted from
fright. Now comes the
sTRANGEsT PART OF THE STORY.
The horse also fell, and lodged on the
same shelf to which his mistress Wal
clinging. In falling he had turned com
pletely around. but there he stood on the
narrow ledge of stone, hugging the wall
and evidently realizing his position, il

lie fully that steps were being taken 70
his relief, and did not move to make re
sistance until he was placed upon a sur
footing in the path. The escape of Mrs
Mallett, under the circumstances, is YER
little less than miraculous, and that tn
horse should have been saved, is almOs
incredible. The accident and the rescu
have proved prolific themes of conyerss
