BETTER THOUGHTS.

No painless life could prove Gods wondrous
love.
No easy path can lead to rest above.
Kindness is the golden chain by which
society is bound together.
Purity, faith and perseverance, are
the eternal conditions of successful
prayer.
A life devoted to self is a life lost;
life expended for God and for men is a
life found
whatsoever hath Christ cannot be
poor; whatsoever wants Him cannot be
rich. rutherford.
There are possibilities of usefulness in
us all which we will never discover ex-
cept under trial fires.
Happiness is like a sunbeam. which
the least shadow interceptS, while adj
versity is often as the rain of spring.
The greatest evils in life have had
their rise from something which was
thought of too little Importance to be
attended to,
What is the building of Christian
character but the preparation for bet
ter and higher state of being? Here we
| build; there we dwell.

Feeding Horses.
wocdford (Ky.) Sun.
More horses are annually killed or
injured by overlooking and by injudi-
ciouS feeding than by starving or most
other causes. In horses we can detect
as many different temperaments and
dispositions as in man, though but few
horse owners take this fact into cOnsid-
Grafton in the management of their
horses, particularly in that part of it re-
lating to food and feeding. Some horses
are natural gluttOns, and they must be
seen to carefully, or they will at times
be apt to seriously injure themselves by
feeding too fast, while most of the food
they consume will pass through them
undigested, for the simple reason that
it is swallowed before it has been prop
erly masticated.
We ike to see what is termed
good feeder" Gone who does not mince
or pick over his fOod), but then we are
not at all partial to the ravenOus ones.
Such horse as the latter named will
dive into his feed with his mouth wide
open, and invariably take more at a
mouthful than he can either hold in his
mouth or properly masticate. There
are several WAYS to fix such fellows, one
way being to mix some little fine hay
with his oats, while moistening the oats
or feeding cut food prevents him from
pandering to his greedy propensities. A
horse with a delicate appetite is usually
tender, delicate animal, and not at all
desirable.
The trouble with most persons who
keep horses. nomatter whether on farms
for farm work, or for driving purposes,
is, they feed too much hay; and to this
cause can be attributed the general slug
gishness often manifested by the horses
until they have been working couple
of hours, while the wind is also impair
ed Night is the only time when hay
Shoul be fed, especially to animals used
for quick work Even the slow pillow
team should have but little hay at the
morning and noon feeds; but give them
a generous supply at the evening meal.
BY doing this your horse will keep in
better spirits and condition and free
from any tendency to ''pot-belly'' which
hOrsemen so dislike to see.

Some Things Farmers Should
Know.

As a general thing the farmer is La
BILE for all the public injury his hired
man may cause while actually employed
by him. If he sends him into his lot to
burn old brush, and he, for any purpose
whatever. leaves it and the fire runs into
his neighbours, DESTROYING his fence and
iniuring his crops, the farmer is liable
for the damages caused by the wanton
neglect of his man. If he sends hired
man on the road with his team, and he,
by negligence, runs into another vehicle
and Injuries it, the farmer is liable for
the damages; but should the hired man
leave the road he was directed TO 90,
and travel another road for his own
pleasure, then the farmer would not be
liable for the damages should any acct
dent occur. If a hired man, in going
to or from the lot with a scythe, and by
the careless handling or carrying in
lures a paSser-by, the farmer is liable
for damage. If in cutting wood the hired
man cuts down a tree in another lot. the
farmer is liable for trespass and dam
ages, although he distinctly showed him
the boundary; and though the man may
have cut the tree with righteousness,
run into team, even if it block his way,
Yet the farmer must pay the damage,
though done contrary to his positive or
der. In all these cases the farmer can
compel the hired man to pay him back
if he has anything to pay with; but this
is rarely the case unless the farmer keeps
back his wages and only settles when
his time expires

Popular Potatoes.

The DltcheSS Farmer says the early
Rose" is now the most popular variety
of the potato in the New York market.
Those coming from Maine and the prov
inces are the purest and of most uni
form good quality. First quality Ear
ly Rose are also produced in New
York, but in many parts they have be-
come mixed with the Late Rose"
which hurts their cooking qualities, and
causes the Objectionable red color some
times seen when cooked. The Peach
blow is standard old time variety,
still in good demand. The Peerless
is a heavy yielder, and sells more cheap
", but it is of coarser quality. The
Snowflake is a promising new vari-

generally liked.

The yEost Enduring Fences.

OF all fences the most enduring and
the most satisfying to. the eye is the
stone wall. If its foundation is well
laid it may last as long as the world
which, indeed, it may slowly sink into;
or the accumulating layers of earth
NAV cover it; but it viii still be wall

Black raspberry bushes loop along it,

of sweet elders shade its sides, and

When the stones of which it is built are
gathered from the fields, as they gen.

waves of ancient seas, and tumbled

A Texas Plan Of Keeping sweet
Potatoes.

Go into the woods and cut a hollow
tree, about six inches in diameter and
five feet long. Cut holes iii the sides
of this and place one end in the ground.
Law straw all around the pipe" and
ON this lay potatoes, and pile them up
in a pyramidal form to the top of the
pipe" Then get straw and lay over
them, also corn stalks, pretty heavily,
and throw on dirt until the pile is COW
cred good-at least six inches. Do not
cover the top of the pipe for two or
three weeks, so that the steam arising
from the potatoes can escape. At the
first intimation of cold weather cover
the pipe" but always open it in good
weather. To yet into this bank, rs we
call it, simply make a hole in the south
side to put your hand in, but keep it
covered, also, when not in use. BY this
method a small family can, with very
little trouble, KEEP all their potatoes
through the winter.

reaching Charleston through the
interior Of the State. The river
route is closed more than half of
the year by low water and ice, and
the railroad route by IIarper's
Ferry and Staunton is 50 expensive
and long that the people of the
First District, with u very large
number of thobe Of the Second
District, will not with good grace
submit to it. With u good ma
cadamized turnpike from Weston
to some point ON the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad, u daily line Of
stages would soon follow, and
much of the objection to the !oca-
ton Of the capital at Charleston
would cease.
A good toNi would also do
much towards developing large
portion OF the unprOductiVe lands
ofthe Stale, and the emigration t0
that section would in II few years
reimburse The State in the payment
Of .axeS for the amount necessary
to be expended w the State tt
make the road. The large unde
vulopcd territory between the coun'
ty of Lewis and tho Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad will not KoOI
b. developed without some BucE
improvement by the State, ant
tho Legislature should this winter
appropriate from Sl2j,oOO tt
$4,000 to make this improve
lnant.
The route through Webster j;
probably not the shortest route
but that route would open up !
large territory Of fine lands, ant
give easy access TO the WebS!e'
Salt Sulphur Springs, which is be
lieved by many To lie the fines
Il neral water in III" world.
