Horses may make a noise from various
causes They may suffer from Athickening
or from an liberation of the mucous mem
brane, or from paralysis of the muscles of
the respiratory organs. The same apparent
result may be caused by peculiar affection
of the larynx, and many horses which are
what is technically termed "high-blowers'
are very noisy without being unsound. 1t
is often nice question whether a lace horse
who is noisy is affected in such manner as
to interfere with bis speed when hard
pressed.

When to Apply Manure.

The common practice among farmers is to
make general clearing of the yards and

ingly pressing. II the manure is drawn out
in the fall, and dropped in heaps upon the
field to be cultivated next season. there is
more or less waste by teaching, and by
evaporation. There Is growing disposition
among our intelligent farmers to apply ma
nure directly to growing crops, or as near
the time of planning snd sowing as possible.
It is felt that the sooner manure is put
within reach of the roots of plants, the bet
ter for the crops and their owner. Manure
is SO much capital invested, and bears inter

The barn cellar may be so managed as to

month IN the year. SO that the farmer may
suit bis convenience in applying them to the
soil. When manure is not wanted for cult

the grass crop, either in pastures or upon
meadows, after moving. Topdressing is

The Lost Steamer Rorussia


LONDON, December 24.-The owners
of the steamer Borussia allege that they
believe the vessel is still aflOat, as she
is built with water tight compartments
and she is still in the track OF the
American vessels. They also allege that
they are hopeful concerning the crew
and passengers. The third officers
boat was the last to leave the
ship. Among the other boats was a
large boat containing 20 Spanards and
the mates boat containing l3persons.
These, when last seen, presumably by
the third officers boat, were doing well.
The third officer made an unsuccessful
attempt to tow another boat, containing
two men. The crew OF the steamer,
when the boats left, were building RATS.
The wind was then blowing gale. IL
is asserted at the office of the agents
that the captain did his duty maniully.
In his statement, the third officer OF
the Borussia, says that after large boat
containing twenty Spaniards, and the
mates containing thirteen persons, had
left the Borussia, life boat containing
two of the stewards of the steamer got
adrift. He was sent after this boat BY
the captain and took charge OF 1t,
taking his own boat, in which the five
men were left, in tow, but the
boat was swamped and all on board
drowned. The third officer endeavorcd
TO again reach the BOrussia, which was
fast sinking, but was unable to make
head against the wind. He was ult-
mately compelled to abandon the at
tempt and run before the wind. Attic
time this occurred there were still three
boats with the BOruSsia.
The bark Iuldah has arrived at Liv-
erpoll with the five Spaniards, who We're
saved from the BOrussia. Owing to their
inability to speak English, it is hard to
get from them a connected narrative oi

accordingly returned 10 work but the
Spaniards partly staunched the hole in
the boat with some clothes and their
rope breaking they were east oil from the
steamer. They had some provisions,
but none of them knew anything OF
seamanship. For five days and six
nights they were tossed about, suffering
terribly, when they were observed by a
bark. They knew nothing OF the fate
of the Borussia.
