BALKY HoRsEs.-A society for the
prevention of cruelty TO animals recon-
mends the following rules for the treat
ment of balky horses; Pat the horse
upon the neck, examine the harness
carefully, first on one side aud then on
the other, speaking encouraglngly
while doing so; then jump into the wa
gon and give the word 90. Generally
he will obey, A teamster i'm Maine
says he can start the worst balky horse
10y taking him out of the shafts and
making him go round i'm circle. If
the first dance of this kind doesn't cure
him, the second one will be sure TO do
1t. To cure balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and
shut off the wind till he wants to 90.
The brains of horses seem to entertain
but one idea at time; thus, continued
whipping only confirms his stubborn
resolve. If you can by any means give
him new subject to think of. you will
have no trouble in starting him. A
simple remedy is TO take couple of
tHrns of stout Irvine around the fore
leg, just below the knee, and tie i'm a
bow knot. At the first check he will
90 dancing off, and, af er going a short
distance, you can get out and remove
the string to prevent injury to the ten
don In your further drive.

FEED Young ANIMALS WELL.-The
man who wears out calf's teeth i'm the
effort TO make it shrink for itself never
raised prime steer nor a good COW.
Every dollar supposed to be thus saved
i'm the young animal must be replaced
later by the expenditure Of two. The
man who feeds best while the animal Is
young makes the most money. This is
generally recognized rs true by our
best farmers, and hence tho improve
ment in stock and consequent chGa pen
ing in the raising of animals within
the last ten years. The same rule will
apply to all farm stock. If stinted
while young they never pay the breed
er and feeder n living profit. Hence
the reason why those who do not keep
pace with the times are always com
planning that there is no money instock
The big prices paid by the best stock
feeders are for animals that have had
their digestive organs kept intact by
early and properly nutritious food.
The value of a food animal lies in It's
aptitude to lay on flesh, and those who
keep steadily growing from birth will
continue this growth and increase i'm
profitable weight. TO do this i'm the
most economical manner the digestive
organs must be originally strong and
unimpaired by abuse.

He was a venerable and agricultural
looking man, attired i'm the fastest New

AGRICULTURE.

SYRUP FROM SWEET CoRN.-The com
mon sweet-cOTn contains so large an
amount of sweet saccharine matter
that it has often been suggested as
practicable sugar plant. donot know
that its syrup is graduated; buta gen
tleman with whom | conyersed few
weeks ago, assured me that he had sue
ceeded i'm making syrup i'm such an
amount. that he Is satisfied that he could
make $50 gallons per acre. This was
from corn growing for selling i'm It's
green state, and very profitable crop
of ears was sold TO the factories Tor
canning. The next year the factories
reduced the price paid for green corn
so low, that my friend concluded not 10
grow any, and his project for combin-
ing the growing of the green corn and
the making of syrup had to be given up.
But wherever there is market for
green corn i'm the ear, he believes that
such an Enterprise rightly managed,
must prove successful. If cheap sy-
rup can be thus made, even If not Of the
highest quality, it will prove very val
liable for many purposes. Farm stock
of all kinds are fond of sweets, and SUI
gar or syrups form an important part
OF most condiments. All sweets are
very fattCning, and we may, in the near
future, be dosing domestic animals with
syrups tolnduce themto eat moreand fat
ten faster. IL will be interesting to note
whether, under this new diet, horses,
sheep, cows and pigs will have dyspep-
STA and suffer. as their betters do, from
the effects of too high living. a year
or two ago, a correspondent related an
experience wherein he had for time
entirely suspended the virility of q
bull by feeding him molasses and hay
which he ate greedily, and which fat
tened him very rapidly.

pulpis Topics To-Day.

The presence Of many of the old pastors
of the city in their accustomed places to-
day win be greeted by large congregations,
and no doubt the former will bring to their
people the pure gold of the Word which
they have been so carefully studying in the
country groves, on the sea beaches or on
the trackless deep. Many ii not all of them
will have some vacation "reminiscences to
rotate, and some will draw moral lessons
from their travels and experiences. For in
stance, Mr.. Hatfield will endeavor to show
that Gods care over him and his church
during vacation is n ground for gratitude
and obedience; Mr.. Martyr will show tho
relation existing between rest and work; Mr..
Lloyd, who has just returned from Europe,
will rejoice over storms stillcd and the
haven reached Mr.. Cleaver will impress
upon his people tho fact that summer is
ended; MIR. Macarthur will present his con-
gregation with basket of summer fruits,
and now Mr.. Ackerly will ask his people if
they also want to go away. DIR. Knapp is
satisfied that life is something more than
meat or mere existence DR.. Newman has
conception of the grandeur Of human life,
which he will present, and Mr.. Davis will
depict the lie that grows from glory to glory
and is self-sacrifcing rather than selfpleas-
ing. Gods loving kindness will be set forth
by Mr.. Blake the Christians endowment
and his heritage will be exalted by Mr..
Hull young men honored by God will be
introduced by Mr.. Lyon; old truths will be
examined under near lights by Mr.. Pull
man; memory's tears will be shed by Mr..
Knapp; tribulation and comfort will be asso-
ciated in Mr.. Searles' discourse, and Old

Novf-8azar.

Novi-Bazar is the southeastern exten-
sion of Bosnia beyond the Linn into the
Albanian country. By the Treaty of Berlin
Austria was given permission to occupy
this district, with the privilege to move in
her own time, and to leave the country sub
ject to the Turkish administration mean
while. It is now announced that the troops
are ready on the line Of the Linn for the
occupation. and that they will move to-
morrow, under command of tho Duke of
Wurtemberg, who left Serajevo yesterday.
1t has been announced internationally for
some time past that the Albanians will re-
sist tho advance; and if they do, and ex-
hibit tho tenacity they have shown on
former occasions, this little strip of terri
tory may cost Austria as much trouble
AZ she had in the occupation of
all the rest OF Bosnia Beyond that it
may provoke conflict that will lead anew
to warike demonstrations in oil that part
of the world. 1t Is critical event for
many reasons, and this fact is perceived in
the country itself as well as in the several
capitals of the neighboring empires.
Count Andrassy went out of Office on his
refusal to carry out this point OF tho
Berlin Treaty. He thought he had
gone far enough when, as Hun
garian, he had committed himself
to the anti-Hungarian policy of the an
nexation of Bosnia, and got through with
it safely. Indeed, in that occupation he
had the hostility Of clements within the

earnest is barely at hand; great many big
fish will yet be taken; camping out"
which may mean any one of a dozen things,
each more enjoyable than the other, is
pleasanter in September and October than
in any other months Of the year, and all the
glorious winter sports will be at hand almost
before we know it There is something
cruel and inexplicable, however, in the fact
that among city people all the fall and
winter sports are monopolized by adults.
