CARE OF HARNESS The Harness Jour-
nal has very useful article on this SUBJ
ject, which we condense us follows:
A harness that has has been upon a
horses back several hours in hot or rainy
weather becomes wet; if not properly
cleaned, the damage to the leather is ir
reparable. If, after being taken from the
horse in this condition, it is hung up in Il
careless manner, traces and rens twisted
into knots, and the saddle and bride hung,
askew, the leather when dried retains the
shape given it while wet, and when forced
to its original form, damage is done to the
stitching and the leather.
The first point to be observed is to Keep
the leather soft and pliable; this can be
done only by keeping it well charged with
oil and grease; water is IA destroyer OF
these, but mud and the saline moisture
from the animal are even more destruc-
tive. Mud, in drying, a5sorbs the grease
and opens the pores of the leather, max.
ing it prey to water, while the salty
character of the perspiration from the
animal Injuries the leather, stitching anC
mountings. 1t therefore follows that, tC
preserve Il harness, the straps should be
washed and oiled whenever it has beer
moistened by sweat or soiled by mud.
If harness is thoroughly cleaned twice
year, and when unduly exposed treateC
as we have recommended. the leather will
retain its softness and strength for many
! wears.

Mr.. Peter Henderson describes the adj
vantages Ct a new eXpedient in the growth
of pot plants, which consists in covering
the pots with fine moss and sprlnklng
some bonedust through it. The roots feed
on this under the moss 1T the surface, and
"A small pot serves for large plant. Thus
the trouble of reporting and the room
needed for larger pots, and the necessity
of so frequent watering are all saved ny
one stroke. English gardeners Utilize
couuanut fibre much in the same way. and
as it is very cheap it is used largely for
mixing poIting and garden soil in lieu OF
leaf mould. Even clay is rendered friabe
enough to use rs potting loan by exposing
the mixture to frost and sun for year

moss this has no decterious QUALIFYING
acid, salt, or tannin; worms and snails
avoid it; it is not liable to become mOuldy;
and it is light to handle, and retains moist
ure with remarkable tenacity. As mulch
it is excellent; keeping the soil cool and
damp, yet well aired, and containing no
seeds Of weeds. The roots run up into 1t

which marked old Donald Beaton's useful
and readable papers, they "foxtail'

The HYACNTH.-The hyacinth, says
the FI0raL Guide, is the most beautiful
and fragrant and popular of the dubious
flowers, and particularly designed for
house culture 1t is cultivated in every
northern country in the world, where it
does more than any other flower to make
winter cheerful. A very small pot will
answer for the hyacnth, but some prefer
to plant three or four in large pot, and
this makes very pretty ornament. Fill
The pot with sandy, porous soil. Make a
space in the soil for the bulb so that il
will be about half below the earth, then
press the bulb down so that it will Just
show its upper surface above the soil,
then water, giving all the earth will
hold. The pots can now be set away in
a cool, dark cellar for several weeks,
where they will make roots, but the top
will advance but little. BY removing a
few mt time, into warm, light room,
something of a succession can be kept up,
When we speak Of II warm room for bulbs

WASTE OF MANuRE.-,It should be a
cardinal principle with every farmer to
economize his manure. Upon it depends
his success, and without it, his labors
must TO "a very great extent, be without
profit. if not attended to, with absolute
loss. If it is necessary to have the lower
side of it protected bv Il wall, or some
other ARRANGEMENT by which the ESCAPE of
Iionid manure may be prevented. it is
nlmos, equally important to have a spout
to convey rain water from the roof of the
barn in some other direction than i'm
mediatelv through the BARNARD 1t is
bad enough that the manure heap should
be exposed to the rains which fall directly
upon it,vithout adding to it the droppings
from the roof of the barn.

APPLE JELLy,- Farmer, Union county,
Penn: 1t would probably pay to boil cider
down to jelly when it can be bought for IA
dollar and fifty cents per barrel. 1t will
help the cider to jelly more rapidly if a
quantity of apple parngs are boiled with
IL. The cider may be boiled best in "A
shallow sheet iron pan; ten gallons of
cider will make one of Jelly. The Jelly is
put up in glass jars or wooden pals. We
do not know the price, or if there is a
ready sale for it.
We clip the above from one of our ex.
changes, chiefly to show what valuable
Information may be impaired by one who
writes for a paper of what he knows
nothing about. A shallow sheet iron or
any other kind of iron pan is entirely unfit
to boil cider in for jelly or anything else;

in sap pans and eyaporators, should MOI

little or no good. The best means we
have found is to remove the top of the

COMPOST NG.-The Muck Nh nplnI say
that one load of cow manure mixed with
one load OF dirt or muck gives two loads
OF manure equal to COW manure. As
soon as my fall work was done, earring
muck was the principal job before US. The
barnyard received II large number of loads
OF muck and leaves. The stable manure is
not suffered to accumulate more than two
or three days before it is incorporate,
with muck. The ontlet of the house
drain is contributing its share toward
making few loads of valuable manure
The wafer closet is valuable auxiliary in
composing muck. We have one muck
heap near the house that takes all the
soap-suds and other refuse beneficial as
manure. Muck is a great ahsorbent-jt
fixes all the volatile ingredients of the
manure pile that escape from the manure
heap by improper treatment We car
ried along the ordinary farm work and
drew ont over two hundred loads of muck
and leaves put in large heaps in fields
mixed with sheep manure from sheen
sheds. All farmers know that this is a
most valuable manure. 1t is perfectly
astonishing the amount of work any
farmer may do Of this sort in the course
Of tue season.
