soaked Corn for Horses.

During the warm weather there is q
great deSl OF fstiguiDg and exhaustive
work for the teams, and they should
have wholesome food and plenty of it.
Oats is probably the best grain for food
for working horses, with occasional feeds
of shorts, bran, corn etc. All animals
relish frequent changes of food, and there
is no stronger evidence that such change
is beneficial to health than that tie ap-
petite Graves IL.
Few farmers, however, have snyother
grain or their working teams through
the spring and summer than corn, which
is at this season very hard and dry. To
remedy this and make the grain more
tOothsOme and wholesome for horses,
when fed whole, 1t should be soaked.
Fill clean barrel half full of clean, pure
wster-wel or spring water is best-to
which sd few handfuls of salt, enough
to make the water taste slightly brackish,
and fill up with ears of sound corn,
which let stand for twenty-fOur hours,
or longer, will not be of material diff
ference, =beieze ieedipg. Horses soon
become very fond of the soaked corn,
which is much easier masticated and
digested, than the dry, hard grain.
There should be two barrels, 80 that the
ears may be soaking in one while using
out of the other. After soaking. two
charges IA the same water empty and
renew with fresh wster and salt. 80
Care should be taken that no unsound
grain is fed to horses, as nothing is SO
prolific of colo and other acute diseases
in horses, as mouldy or misty grain or

A Wonderful Fountain.
sarnia ,Ont.) Observer,


One of the most wonderful natural
phenomena ever witnessed was seen by
a large crowd of people a few days ago
at the home Of Mr.. Peter Taylor, who
lives lust outside of the corporation.
For some time Mr.. Taylor has had
number of men boring for water in the
southwest corner OF his grounds. When
a depth of abou enc hundred and fifty
feet had been reached Mr.. Taylor heard
a peculiar rumbliDg sound, apparently
issuing from the hole, and Judging that
something unusual was about to happen,
warned his men to move to 8 safe dis
lance from the we'll. Scarcely had they
done SO when a fountain OF muddy water
shot straight up into the air with ter
rife force, carrying up the boring pipe
with it as far as the fsstenings would
allow, and scattering the mud, water
and stones in all directions. The SUBJ
terranean noise appeared gradually to
increase in violence, and as they did so
the expelling force, whatever 1t was,
seemed to be proportionally augmented
until the cone shaped column obtained
a height of fully $50 feet. Some idea
of the mysterious subterranean power
which supplied the motive for this ex,
hibition of natural water works may be
conveyed by the fact that stones weigh
ing fully five, six and even eight pounds
were shot up into the air to q consider
able height, while showers of rounded
pebbles of smaller size fell like hail
stones upon a circle OF seven yards
orov-I h. hnIn npn 1aro,a az cd of
struck timber of derrick in its ups
ward course, and, CHANGING of, was
thrown several hundred yards into Mr..
William Taylor's grounds, on tle oppOs
site side of he road.
The wind was blowing pretty strong
from the south at the time, and the re-
suit was that the roof OF Mr.. Taylor's
large brick house-one of the largest in
town--and its south side was bespattered
with the muddy mixture, there being
actually puddle OF clay, pebbles and
water several inches deep on the roof
Showers of the same mixture were car
ried clear over the house and for some
distance along the street north of his lot
After the extraordinary spectacle bad
lasted for nearly an hour and hall, the
fountain appeared 10 make one last
grand effort to do better than its best,
snd then gradually to lose its ascending
force. The series of jerking leaps-for
the expelling power seemed all along to
be irregular and intermissive rather
than contiDuous-became weaker and
weaker; the steady, whirring sound
which accompanied the exhibition, and
which can best be described as resemb.
bling very closely the noise OF steam
fire engine, gradually lessened, and at
about $50 Mr.. Taylor was rather
relieved to find that his magnificent but
inconyeniently powerful lawn sprinkler.
had DISAPPEARED, for the present at least,
within subterranean recesses. The rumb~
ling sound continued tor few minutes
and then ceased, though the water which
filled the pipe to within twenty-three
feet OF the surface OF the earth was dis
turbed for some time afterward by
bu billing agitation.

Green Pea. and Dat. far Cow.

Foider~corn is almost universally
raised to feed COWS while on short pasture
in the fall, and is so valuable an adj
dition to their food that every dairyman
should raise about one-eighth an acre
of it for each COW KEPT; but it should
be remembered that COWS require var
iety of food. 1t is not good economy to
depend on one kind of green 5ood, and
especially one containing so little album
inoid matter as fodder-corn. Clover and
a mixture of meadow grasses may be re-
lied upon alone, but corn should always
be fed with some more heterogeneous food.
1t does very well with half pasture, TO-
the grasses will supply the albuminoid
matter There are other green crops
that should be raised to be fed with corn,
and we know of none better than peas
and oats, sewn third oats
and two~thIrds pess-three bushels OF
the mixed seed per acre, with 8 drill.
On land In good condition large crop
may be raised, having a value second to
no other. Peas and oats are equal to
clover, and may be raised on great var
iety OF seils--s most important consid~
erStion. We have raised twelve tons of
green iood TO the acre, and this would
iced twenty-iour cows ten days, without
any other food. The pea is rich in caseine
Just what is required to make milk
and the oat is also rich in the elements
of milk. These two crops grow well to-
gether, for the oats hold the peas up and
prevent them from lying too fat on the
ground. They mature so near together
that they are both ready to cut st the
same time. But the crop should always
be cut when the pea pod is full and the
grain in the milk. 1t is tten very sue
culent and palstsble and will produce as
much milk as any food we know OF, aside
from large variety Of pasture grasses
in their most succulent state. If the
dairyman has any green fo1der-c0rn
also, let him feed the corn, peas and
oats together. He need never iear Civ
ing too much variety at once. In an old
pasture cows find from twenty to fifty
varieties of grass, to be eaten at the same
time This is what gives such fine flavor
to the mixers on old pastures; it gathers
and concentrates the aroma of all these
plants, and it must have more delicious
favor than that made from one kind OF
food, such as corn or rye, or even red
clover, alone, Our readers will pardon
the frequent mention made of the impor-
tsnce OF variety in the TODD of cows, for
it is too generally neglected. Study the
tastes of your cows and they will richly
repay you fer the psins.-Live Stock

Sentimental and Tragic FIirts.
Home Journa .


How much mischief these sentimental
firts do in their day. They give you
the impression that you and only you
are the one sweet woman whose love Is
needed for their happiness. Your touch
can heal them, your smile rejoice, your
love render blessed. You give in to the
fond llusiOn-one OF the most seductive
to true wOmsn-and find that you are
just taken as sn experimentalist takes a
cat or a dog for vivisection; and that
you are only one of many who has been
80 taken before you-to illustrate that
point of female credulity and womanly
soft hesrtedness which the fiirt has set
himself to learn by sll the methods given
to man. Or take the tragic firt from
the other side OF the house, that beauti.
full little woman with the big eyes and
melOdious voice, who sings sad love songs
as if she felt them, and around whom
melancholy clings as graceful garment,
how many men mas she not captured and
drowned in the Questionable abyss OF
her vanity. She looks all sorrow, and
her life has not a cloud she seems all
sentiment, and no neither milestone is
harder, more prosaic; she gives you the
impression of one seeking consolation,
and the merriest little grig who dances
all night in pink and Iosebuds is not
more light of heart, more free from care.
She is a shan all throughout, and she
sttitudinizes-she does not feel. But
clever men believe in her and good ones
fall down and worship her, and she rides
on the crest of the wave in the world s
while her sister, who disdains
and coquetry alike, gets only
scSR5 sdmi alton, and her heart, which
never deceived human being, is disre-
gsrded as common kind Of thing, worth
little love and less endeayor.

Retaining Louisian. Land.

Louisians land is coming up--out of
the water. a company was organized
TO recover from tidal overflow large
tract of swamp land snd marsh land in
the parish of Terreboane and devote it
to the cultivation of rice. The work of
dredging and leveling has been carried
on so far that sn experimental field of
seventy-five acres of rice is already in
cultivation, snd everything indicates
that the enterprise win prove entirely
successful. The soil becomes firm and
solid when well drained, and can be
drained st small cost compared with
the returns from the crops. As these
crops are benefited by being flooded
from April to August, the land when
once well ditched and leveled, would
only need to be drained twice q year, fer
the spring planting and the fall harvest.

A Glimpse at Jenny Lind.

And, before quit the theme of song

OF Jenny Lind. The house stands back
from the street, and garden that must
in summer be a very boquet of flowers and
yerdure extends in tIoDt OF it. A bust
OF the great singer, life ze, and in mar
bic, stands in the large bay window that
fronts the garden. And beside the bust
sat an elderly lady in white mob-cap
and white cashmere shawl, engaged in
partskiDg of the afternoon cup of tea
that forms so prominent q feature in
English social lire. She was talking to
some one in the room, and IS she turned
to the window saw again the fsce that

roses and lighted with Inspiration, on
the stage of Tripler hall, % long years
ago. Under the disfguring esp the fair
hair, now plentifully streaked with gray,

fashion as that which set ail the girls in
America to twisting back their tresses
in those by-gone years. In other respects
Jenny Lind has greatly changed. Few
could have recognized in the pale, worn
lineaments of the elderly lady the WELL

singer OF our day and generation. l
permitted myself but one glance, not
wishing to violate, even by look, the
sanctity of that tranquil home. am
told that Nine. Lind G oldschmidt, as
she styles herself, is very eccentric and
peculiar. She still interests herself in
music, being the leader of the Bach choir,
a private association, to which some of
the first ladies in London belong; and so
severe is she in her requirements, and 50
strict in demanding their fulfllment,
that her high born pupils are often temp
ted to rebel.

The vital Energies,

When depressed by fatigue, bodily or mem
tai, by exhausting diseases, or the inf ence
of debilitating temperature, should be
reinforced-physicisns tell us-by some
wholesome stimulant and among those
which have been tested and administered
by them, none have received such hearty
recommendations as Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. 1t has been preferred by them
from the fact that its spirituous basis, which
is of the purest description, is modified by,
and made the vehicle for, the vegetable
medicinal principles incorporated with it,
These latter render it conspicuously SER
viceable in cases of general debility, con-
stipation, and other disorders of the bowels;
in dyspepsia, nervous affections, urinary
and uterine ailments, rheumatism, intermit
tent and remittent fevers, which it prevents
as well as remedies; and in liver complaint.
A household stock of medicines can scarcely
be called complete without this inestimable
medicine.

FIAli CuI ure,

sionsliy, but with DO regularity. The
number of fish has apparently been
about the same ever since. IN 1876
obtained of Col Penn. Yonge, of Spring
Villa, five hundred small fry trout and
put them into my pond, but have
never seen one of them since. During
the summer of 1873 q crevasse let off

turn are food for the large one.. There
has been built within a circle OF five
miles eff my place during the past ten
years fifteen fish ponds most OF which
have been abandoned. Fish raising like
every other business requires close atten-
tion to be q success. My opinion is
that if fish pond WAS built with several
apartments, so thst the water could be
readily drawn off and the fish assorted
and placed IN separate apartments and
fed regularly, a great improvement
would be made at very little cost. 1t is
an undisputed fact in fish culture thst
fish of the same size can not swallow
each other and that is the secret OF sues
cess in fish culture. In the construction
of dams ! would use sand in preference
to clay, as it will hold the water better
and erswfish will not penetrate it and it
is very easily kept in repair.-Cor. Farm
