Treatment of BaIky Horses.
lSc,eptific Farmer.J

Il
The bad habit of baking of horses gener-
ally ARISES from an obstinate mind, or, in
other words, selfishness, refusing to go from
a headstrong disposition, and resolute to have
their own way. This is one form of balki-
ness. The second is one which refuses to
and refuses to go any further. The third
embraces such horses as are timorous. com
bined with a stubborn disposition, and
which frequently refuse TO pull from fear as
well as stubborDess or want of courage.
These are the different forms of balkIness
of horses. But not always is the animal so
by nature. but very frequently becomes so
by i'll training and poor driving. Horses
may be made belky very easily ii too many
words are spoken 10 them at one time; sucn
SIS, ''Get up there" whoa, back" and 50
forth, until the animal gets excited and fin
ally loses courage. There are many differ
ent ways for breaking balky horses; but
one thing must be borne in mind-to speak
kindly TO the horse, and show him that
he is in the control and power OF man, and
has to obey; but do not abuse him. Now
when you are to commence to break
balky hoIse-one that is sufficiently gen
tie to know what is wanted of him-put On
your harness and hitch him up to any thing
you desire, and give him the commanding
word TO go ahead. If he goes. you have
nothing to do or say, bat let him go ahead
and do the desired work; but if he refuses to
go any further, unhItch him Immediately,
take all the harness of except the bride;
take a rope the side Of wash line and
fasten 1t to the bit on the right hand side
and pull it through the ring of the left IN
der the chop; pull his head round to his
left side and slip the rope under his tail
like crupper and fasten it, keeping his
head rather close to his side. Now all is
ready, so let him go; he will of course travel
like dog after his tail. for he can travel no
other way. Take long whip and make him
go if he refuses, but speak kindly to him all
the time. Never lose your temper but
govern it. The horse will travel round in a
circle until he begins to sweat and grow
languid and finally falls down; now imme-
diately loose the rope and let him up; talk
kindly to him now and caress him.
Now, remember the work Is only half
dore. Reverse the position of the line the
same as before, and start him off again, and
let him go Till he falls down the second
time; loosen the line Immediately and lie,
him get up; now hitch him up, and my
word for it he will pull as he never pulled
before. He now is convinced that he is en-
tirely in the control and power of man, and
has to obey his stubborn spirit is converted
and his pride humbled, and you may de
pend on it that he will bother you nc more

isfactory results, and they may better be
used in the outside garden.
When two or more of the bulbs are TO be
Powered in the same pot, 1t is important
that they come into bloom together. To
make sure of this, all the bulbs that are to
be used in this manner are sometimes set
out in box OF sandy earth. and this box
kept in the dark and treated just as directed
for pots containing a single bulb. When
the bulbs have formed abundant roots, those
may be selected that are equally advanced as
to the bud, and carefully potted.
Their cultivation in glasses is not COM
mended, for the bulbs become quite worth
less afterward, and the flowers can hardly
be as perfect as by the more natural process;
but perhaps you will like to try it for the
sake of variety, if not fashion. Select color
ed glasses, keep the water barely IN contact
with the bottom of the buib changing It
occasionally, and let the roofing be done in
some dark and cool place. Or, first root the
bulbs in clean sand in the manner described
for pot culture, and then, having washed
the sand from the roots. transfer them to the
glass For another experiment nearly hill

set the bulb on the top. pourin water, and give
the same treatment as with the ordinary
glass. A few drops of hartshorn (the aqua
ammonia of the druggist), or other fertit-
! izer added to the water, Will be of some adj
vantsge Hyacinths will grow and bloom
even in M IS closely packed in vase or
hargiDg basket and kept sufficiently wet.
As, IN all these cases the generous bulb
must take the place of soil in suDplyiDr the
capital required. do you wonder that it is
soon forced into bankruptcy.
The other Holland bulbs require the same
kind OF soil, the same preparatory process of
roofing. and the same generate ndltions and
treatment as the hyacinth. Tney need,
! however, much less pot-roon', varying some
what with the kinds. After towering, the
supply OF water should be somewhat dimin-
ished. but not entirely withdrawn until the
leaves have had time to ripen. Then the
bulbs may be dried off and removed from
| the pots; but the rarcssus and crocus are
said to do better if plunged in the garden
| beds, and allowed TO remain in the same
| pots for two or three years, or until they

among which are the Due Won Thol and

HINTS FOB FEBRUARY.

Cold frames need, except in settled cold
weather, almost daily attention, especially
as the warmth of the sun increases, and the
plants are in danger of being started into
growth if airing is neglected.
Pruning omitted last fall, should be at
tended to now as soon as the winter will
allow. Grape vines need the first care, and
should be prunned long before the buds
begin TO swell. Currants and gooseberrles
start early, and should be pruned early.
A share of tie parspips and satisfy is usu-
ally left in the ground. to be dug in early
spring The freezing they receive does not
iDiure them, but makes them more sweet
and tender. If the stored supply runs short,
these may often be dug during thsw, and
bring good price.
The varieties of straw berries and raspber-
ries SC recently offered that they may be
regarded as new, are so many, that one msy
well be puzzled in making selection. The
claims made by those offering the new
kinds, are presented in the catalogues,
which should be studied by those intending
to plant, whether for home use or market.
The market and the neighborhood have
bott. to be considered. Ii the market is a
distant one, the fruit, whatever other quail
ity il may have, must be firm enough to
reach its destination in good order. II there
is local or neIghborhood trede-a matter
very different class OF fruits may be grown.
The stored crops whether in cellars or in
trenches, may suffer from neglect. Those
in the cellar must not be allowed TO get too
warm, or growth may start. Those in
trenches may be invaded by field mice and
rabbits, or the stock greatly injured by the
running in of surface water. frequent in
spection and timely care will prevent such
losses.
Preparatory work in the..way of trelIises
and other supports may be attended to and
the materials got ready. In the family gar
den, the best support for raspberries, is a
single wire strained between posts at the
end of the rows, and we think that the best
grapevine trellis. is that with horizontal
Stats feet apart: with upright wires where
needed.
II one is to set out small fruits, whether
for home use or market, the sooner the pre-
1iminary work of selecting the kinds, and
ordering the plants is done. the better. The
present is one of those periods, that every
now and then occur in fruit culture. There
are a number of new varieties OF great
promise, but they have not been sufficiently
tested to warrant planting them large. The
safe way for those who grow fruit for sale, is
to plant out trisl-beds of the promising
kinds. This will test their adaptabiiity to the
soIl and il the result is satisfactory, give q
stock of plants for setting plantation.

The hardy or Holland Bulbs'-hyacinths,
narcissus etc, are the common resort for
winter bloom when everything else has been

best plants that can be selected for a cool

the beauty of their flowers is more or less
impaired by exposure to high temperature
and strong sunshine. AS they Lave great

Hyacinths may be grown in wet sand, or
gravel, or moss, or in water, but much bet
