ShOtcin0 OF Horses.

The Rural New Yorker says: An in
tending purchaser should have the horse
brought out before him, and watch the
animal as be stands at rest If the own
er is continually starting the horse into
motion and urging him to show of,
something may be suspected. because it
is when the horse is at perfect rest that
MS weak points are divulged. If the
horse be sound he will stand square on
his limbs, without moving any of them,
the feet being fat upon the ground, and
all his legs plumb and naturally posed.
If one foot be thrown forward. with the
toe pointing to the ground, and the heel
raised, or if the foot be lifted from the
ground, and the weight taken from it, dis
case or tenderness may be suspected

their Sunday clothes to church; in short,
al creatures were Lsppy, and the hedge

the children, be could well take a short
walk in the field, and see for himself how
his turnips stood. The turnips were close

he looked upon them as his.
The hedgehog shut the street door sf-

One would imagine that the fertile
soil Of England would furnish an ample
supply Of asparagus for the London mark
ct, but such Is not the fact. The demand
is so great that the remote parts of France
and even the neighbOrhoOd of Madrid are
laid under contribution. French aspara-
gus Is the best in the world, far superior
to any grown in the United States. Their
beds are not heavily MANFRED, and the
roots are planted three feet apart in rows
which are four feet apart. and in some in
stances isolated tufts Of asparagus are
planted among the fig trees or vines.

Beautify the Home.

From yiok'- Monthly Magazine
Not only the residents of towns
and villages may surround their
dwellings with beautiful trees and
shrubs, but every farmer may so
adorn his home. The expense Of
procuring and planting trees is very
little. A single acre Of ground will
admit ofa beautiful display, and the
same amount of land cannot be bet
ter disposed Of, even in an cconomi-
cal view Of the case. The first cost of
trees is but littlc-cven rare spcci-
mems are TO be had at very moderate
prices, and the planting and care Of
them will interest and attract every
member Of the household, and forge
another link in the chain that binds
each one willingly TO the old home.

not, however, have it thought that
there is not much to be done on their
part TO gain the victory. Honest in
dustry must still be applied. Intclli-
gence and economy must be excrted,
and just pride felt in all that re.
lates TO their honorable pursuits.
Agriculture has always been known
as the basis of civilization. But il
has rarely If ever happened in the

in the credit and prosperity of a gov.

A LANCASTER county correspon-
dent of the Germantown telegraph
tells Of an experiment in the spring
cultivation of wheat, and states that
the yield was not so great per acre
as wheat planted and treated in the
usual way, and adds that the quality
Of both grain and straw was inferior.
To this the Ne'C Era replies "This
is at variance with every experiment
we have ever heard of and seems to
hint at some radical mistake in the
system of cultivation practiced. The
correspondent intimatcs that some
thing in our climate may have innu-
enccd the result, but this position is
not tenable, for we have seen results
from spring cultivation in this coun-
ty which were so decided and indis-
putable as etIectually to dispel any
such theory"
