4 Few SUGGESTIONS TO Horse TRAIN
ERs.-Neyer try TO beat colt into do
ing thing, fox if nervous he may turn
out a 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 him, but lead him up to it, allow
ing him to stand and look as he comes
closer, and after he examines it Il few
times he will not fear anything of the
kind again. In passing by hedges
witha 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 i. against his head, neck and
body. Always start horse with the
voice. never with the cut Of the whip.
In starting turn little to one side; in
stopping when going UP a hill do the
same.

SCIENTIFIC.

Ebonized Farniture.-Chamber furni-
ture made of eboniZed wood, in imita-
ton of the rich ebony and gold more
common in the Eastern Hemisphere. Is
quite popular, and there are few fine
furniture stores in the city in which
more or less of it is not displayed. Some
superb specimens are to 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 Is f1rst
stained with a decoctiOn of logwood,
which may be purchased from any
druggist or dealer in dye stuffs. 1t is
dissolved in warm water until all has
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 TO pre-
vent the formation of gummy coat
thereon. After the article has been lett
to dry for few hours the second app.i-
cation, which consists of vinegar in
which a quantity of nails or clean Ill
| ings have been soaked for several days,
is also freely laid on with brush.
The moment the vinegar touches the
wood il combines with the logwood So
luton in the pores, making an ink
which is permanent jet black stain.
The influence of the iron In the vinegar
is all important, and it is really that
which does the work. If any tendency
TO grayness is noticed a second treat
ment with the lOgwOod and vinegar Is
necessary, but this seldom happens if
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
is what is sought after Cherry Is con-
sidered the best wood for ebonizing,
and the furniture to which we have re-
ferred is most generally known t. the
trade rs 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.

CRACKED HEELs.-EXpOsure 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 Sranulations are disturbed. Pre-
vention consists in frequent cleansing
of the feet by washing with clear water
and wiping dry at once with 4 cloth or
towel kept for the purpose. The dry
in. 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 in 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. If the cracks are severe,
from neglect or otherwise, the pastern
should be protected by wrapping ban
dage around il.

AGRICULTURE.

PLASTER on PoTAToEs.-At the time
| commenced farming in 1896, having
but little dressing to feed any crop, al
though it was then the opinion in this
locality that potatoes would succeed
without dressing, | concluded | would
use gypsum on three-fourths of an acre
The ground having been furrowed and
ready to plant, in the four first rows
on the west side of the piece, plaster
was dropped where the hills were in
tended to be; the next four were not
plastered; then the remainder of the
ground plastered the same as the first
four; potatoes dropped and all covered
alike with the hoe; when they were OF
sufficient size to hoe they were all hoed
alike, but the tops in the four uDplas-
tered rows were much smaller and col
or not nearly so dark; after hOeing |
threw upon the tops of the two middle
rows which were upholstered at the
time OF planting about the same quanti-
ty of plaster per hill as put in the hill of
others ut the time of planting; the two
last plastered rows soon changed shade
to those plastered when planted and
soon there was no perceptible difference
rows continued to lag behind both in
size and shade until Jack-frost (rather
an early one) made change. l did
not think it severe enough to kill any
thing, bus few days after | went to-
ward that part of the field where the
potatoes were and found all that had
been plastered killed by frost, and
leaves turned black; while those that
had not been plastered at ali (the right
and left of the two middle rows which
were plastered after having been hOed)
remained rs 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, l measured the
same number OF hills of each from rows
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
plastered made them susceptible to the
early frost, according to my reasoning.
Had there been no frost until the un-
plastered ones were killed by it, think
the ulastered ones would have yielded
fourth more than the upholstered
from an equal number of hills.
