YoUTHFUL L APPRECIATION OF SCIENCE.
"A South Norwalk physician few
days ago was overhauling an electrical
machine, and, after putting il in order,
turned the crank TO test it. His little
daughter wanted to help, so he told her
to turn and he would hold the handles.
The child did her part well, and the
current OF electricity was 80 strong that
the doctors hands shook as though he
had an attack OF the ague. The next
day the little girl asked her father to

an old broom, or tie rags on an old

the tar over the desired surface. Or

HORSES ON THE RoAS.-lf horse Is
required to travel long distance and
the journey must Ice accomplished with
out stopping TO bait, it exhausts the
horse less to increase the pace up to his
best average gait, than TO permit
slow gait, consuming much longer
time in going over the ground, and on
an empty stomach. In other words, IL
two horses are driven fifty or sixty
miles, under similar conditions as 10
the weight they have TO draw, and the
one is taken at the rate of six miles an
hour, which will keep him fasting from
eight TO ten hours, while the other Is
Travelled fast enough to do 1t in six to
seven hours, the latter will be less eN-
hausted than the former, though even
in this latter case the horse would be
all the better for feed in the middle
of the journey, the time devoted TO
such batting being easily made by the
increased energy that would be suppli-
ed by the grain.

FERTILIZING IN THE HILL.-A small
quantity of active fertilizer applied in
the hill at planting will be beneficial.
A handful of mixture OF 100 pounds
of fine bone dust, one barrel of wood
ashes and barrel of poultry manure,
thrown near but not on the seed and
well mingled with the soil, will hasten
the young growth. The earlier the
start and the more vigorous the young
growth, the more rapidly the crop will
mature

OLD-FAsHIoNED FLowERS.-Many OF
the flowers that were popular forty ana
fifty years ago are again coming into
fashion. For several years hOllyhocks
havepeen ignored, but the double speci-
mems grown in Germany, and intro
duced INTO this country, are now sold
by most seedsmen. They are not so
easily raised from seeds as might be in-
ferred by reading the catalogues, but
when once started, with proper culti-
vation they amply repay all the troub-
lie they require. 1t is said that by
planting the seed early in the season,
flowers may be obtained the same sea-
son. This may induce hopes not always
10 be realized. If started in a hotbed
the changes are fair, but they mature
slowly. The new varieties of asters are
very beautiful, and are easily brought
TO perfection with care. They should
not be crowded. and mulching in July
is very advantageous. Some of the
varieties introduced within few years
are very large and snowy.

Tr,r<Ixc SADDLE HOISEs.=lfi afls
swer to the question OIL training saddle
horses, saws the Country Gentleman, 1t Is
not a good rule to use first-class sad
die horse in harness, or vice versa, and
borsemen all know that to use trotter
TO saddle. is to shorten his gait and get
him i'm the habit of cantering. As soon
as a horse finds it is easier TO canter, or
run as il is commonly called, when go
inc fast. he will invariably take the
latter gait. But with the ordinary bug
ov horse. or saddle horse If properly
trained, it will not make any difference.
The writer has trained great many
horses for saddle and harness purposes,
both i'm Europe and America, and knows
that the best saddle horses in the. world
are never harnessed until their services
to saddle are over. In England. when
a horse has hunted four or five seasons,
he is sold to some tradesman, and then
he is good for four or five seasons for
dog-cart or gig. With regard to the
DEVELOPMENT of the muscles OF horse
undergoing training for either trotting
or running, his muscles Will be fully
deyeloped. The horse of all work
should be first thoroughly trained to
saddle and then to harness. as in my
experience he will always work to
those gaits; that is to say, when in sad
die TO trot and canter, but never to pace
or single foot, when in harness he Will
learn the two latter too soon. Some
people think saddle horse ought to
pace, but this is a mistake, as the canter
| is by far the best for morse and rider
| I sneak from experience as for the last
twenty wears | have been in the saddle
six days cut of seven. In travelling
long distance the horse which trots oil
canters will take you over the road witt
more ease than the pacing horse. "A
good trainer can train a horse to the
saddle gaits so that these will never con
fiict with each other, and on the proper
application of the bride hand and thu
legs, the horse will change his gait a
any moment.
