EbORl<cd Furniture furni-

ton of the rich ebony aud gold more
common in the Eastern Hemisphere, is
quite popular, and there are few fne
furniture stores in the city I'm which
more or less of IL is not displayed. Some
superb specimens are 10 be seen at the
dealers, where they attract much at
tention. The process Of ebonizing wood
is comparatively simple, and has been
described as follows: The wood il first
stained with a decoction OF logwOod,
which may be purchased from any
druggist or dealer in dye stuffs. IL is
dissolved in warm water until all ha.
been taken up that the water will hold.
Application TO the wood is made ready
with large, soft bristle brush, and the
surface is rubbed with "A cloth 10 pre-

The moment the vinegar touches the
wood IL combines with the logwood So

The influence of the iron I'm the vinegar
Is all important, and it is really that
which does the work. If any tendency
TO grayness is noticed second treat
ment with the logwood and vinegar is
necessary, but this seldom happens II
the materials have been properly used
in the first instance. When perfectly
dry, the article is vanished and rubbed
down, or finished with furniture oil
well rubbed in. A dead black surface

sidered the best wood for ebOnizlng,
and the furniture to which we have re-

trade as ebonized cherry. White wood =,
maple and beech are, however, used
with good effect. Any close grained.
dense wood will answer. Ash, chest
nut and oak are not suitable.

a FEW SUGGESTIONS TO HORSE TRAIN
ERs.-Never try to beat colt into do
ing thing, for if nervous he may turn
out vicious horse, and if stupid he
may become stubborn. Remember
that by patience and gentleness he can
be got TO do anything that will not
hurt him. When the horse shows
signs of shying at an object, do not
beat MIN, but lead him up to it, allow
ing him to stand and look as he comes
closer, and after he examines it a few
times he will not fear anything of the
kind again. In passing by hedges
with colt throw in stones and stop
him until he takes no notice OF the
noise. Before putting on any article
OF harness, let your colt smell it, and
then rub il against his head, neck and
body. Always start a horse with the
voice, never with the cut of the whip.
In starting turn little to one side: i'm
stopping when going up hill do the
same.

CRACKED lIEELS.-EXDOsure to wet
and mud, scarcely avoidable in autumn,
will surely produce cracked heels in
horses, unless precautions are used
when the cracks are once formed, they
are difficult to heal, because at every
motion OF the foot they are opened and
the EranulatiOns are disturbed. Pre-
vention consists in frequent cleansing
OF the feet by washing with clear water
and wiping dry at once with cloth or
towel kept for the purpose. The dry
ing OF water upon the skin is injurious,
and should be carefully avoided. a
little OF the veterinary cosmoline, or
even crude petroleum, which is the
basis OF the coSmeline, applied i'm the
morning before the horses are taken
out, will prevent mischief, and the
same remedy, with regular cleansing
with soap and water, will cure cracks
very rapidly. Ii the cracks are severe.
from neglect or otherwise, the pasSern
should be protected by wrapping ban

ward that part of the field where the
potatoes were and found all that had
heen plastered killed by frost, and
leaves turned black; while those that
had not been plastcred at ali (the right
and left of the two middle rows which
were plastered after having been hOed)
remained as green and growing as be-
fore the frost, and continued so until
the next frost, which was about three
weeks after the first To determine
the result at digging, I measured the

side by side and found the plastered
hills yoelded the most Notwithstanding
the effects OF the early frost. The more
vigorous snd tender growth of those
piastered made them susceptible to the

plastcred ones were killed by it, Think
the clustered ones would have yielded
fourth more than the upholstered
from an equal number of hills.
