Culuivating Water Lilies.

We have several times suggested that those
who are fond Of the most beautiful Water Lily,
or Pond Lily (NymphDa odonto)-as "who is
not'-can cultivate it with very little trouble.
Those who have hesltated to make the attempt
Will be encouraged by the following account
of its successful treatment, by Miss ltuck man,
St Joseph Co., Ind. Miss r writes: I'VE
have half hogshead IN our yard which is
sunk even with the ground. In the bottom is
some of the soil taken from the bottom of a
little lake where the Water Lilies grow We
put III several roots of the Lily, filled the bar
rel with water and then awaited results The
next July we noticed seven small buds on the
surface OF the water; by the LIST of August, the
surface of the tub was IA mass of beauty, the
large white Lilies being an attraction for the
paSsers-by that could not be resisted. This was
three years ago; each year there have been
more flowers than in the previous summer.
In the fall we throw a little manure into the
tank, place some boards over the top, and with
this little bit of trouble increase the beauty of
our experiment, which has been success, -

We have before, quite fully set forth the i'm
pOrtanCe OF getting work teams IN the best pos
sIble condition for spring work, and have re.
ferred in part to the way to do this, Suppos-
ing the team to be in the very best possible
plight for Il heavy seasons work, if a badly
fitted collar be put into use, the favorable con
dtien referred to will count for no Consldera-
bic sum As factor III the springs work. When
it Is considered that every pound of earth
moved by the pillow or disturbed by the har-
row or seed drill, and every rod traversed by
the reaper or wagon cones by power obtained
by direct pressure on the horses breast, the
importance of looking to the surface which
performs so important part, first last and all
the time, should be apparent. 1t is the heavy
and constant pressure upon the breast in plow-
ing that endangers the breast OF the horse.
There is no let up of the pressure, as in pro
polling the wagon, tor in the latter case when
the load goes down an incline the collar leaves
the breast giving little respite from the pres
sure, allowing the skin and hair to part with
It's moisture and the shoulders to take Test.
But in blowing there is no such chance OF re-
lief The pressure of collar is grinding, heat
and sweat producing process, and il its surface
Is not absolutely smooth, and its texture the
most even and pllable that is possible to Sc
/cure the surface will soon show the effects,
land your fitted horse is quite unfit for work.
At the time of shedding the spring coat the
horse is much more liable to collar gall than
at any other time, because the skin is made
sensitive by shedding the hair. Many farm,
ers practice washing of the breast morning
and evening, in cold salt water 1t is believed
that ,his-using common phrase-hardens
the skin. There can hardly be any doubt of
its beneficial influence BY keeping the breast
bathed IN the manner named, and the surface
of the collar smooth and clean, the breast can
generally be kept clear of harm. Yet, as stated,
plowIng is the trying work, and during the
season for this, unusual vigilance will be in
order. 1t Is only now and then that you find
a collar-maker who in every respect makes a
frstcass collar. Hunt this man out and buy
