POETRY.
The Old Subscriber

1t was the old subscriber
His eyes were rheumy and dim,
But she want takin' no paper
That was pokin' chaff at him."
For he picked his paper up one day,
Aud IL went TO his heart like a rocket,
.sWhom the gods love die young" it said,
"But they whose hearts are dry" he read
"As summers dust burn to the socket"
Then he looked through the paper with wrath and
doubt
And his heart with anger burned
For he found a ST. had been left out
And he found an SOP that was turned,
And he lifted his voice with a mighty shout,
As the sheet with his feet he spurned.
He stopped his paper; he would not read
Such a laundering, yillainous sheet:
OF the news it contained he had no need
He could hear the news on the street.
Only ten days later he sold his corn;
But he pounded his head full of dents,
When he learned after selling for twelve and half
1t was quoted at forty-two cents.
And his farm was sold for taxes, because
He didn't know when they were DUE
And he bet on a race three days after date,
And he bet on the wrong horse, too.
He was fined nine dollars and seventy cents,
For going out shooting on Sunday,
For he didn't know, with no paper to read,
Whether twas Sunday or Monday.
He came to town to the Fourth of July,
But it had been over a week,
Aud he felt so mad that he wanted to cry,
For he didn't know how to speak,
He thought that Grant was president yet,
And he never had heard OF Hayes;
1t was worry, and blunder, and trouble and fret,
All of his weary days.
So hecame to town one summer morn,
And signed for his paper again,
And went back home to his wheat and corn
The happest man among men.

AGRICULTURAL.
Take Good Care of the Horses.

luke GOOQ care OF Cn0 horses.
There is no animal on the farm that is so
likely to be neglected as the horse. The
horse OF the city truckman, or of the ex-
pressman, the driving horse and the saddle
horse are well cared for, but the farm horse
is too often irregul .rly fed; and so far as
cleaning is concerned, regularly and syste-
matically neglected. 1t is difficult to obtain
hired man brought up on the farm who
thinks there is any necessity for taking
special care of a horse. Some horses upon
the farm are rarely if ever properlycleaned,
and yet the condition and usefulness of the
farm horse depend as much upon the man.
ner in which it is cared for as any other
horse. When brought perspiring to the
stable, he ought not to be allowed to stand
over night with the dust drying upon him.
A good cleaning is half rest, and vet how
often we see the farm horse brought out in
the morning covered with the dirt of the
day before, and with the accumulated filth
OF the night still clinging to him. Under
such conditions horse is not much more
than half horse. Often, too, he is irregu-
larly fed and indisereetly watered A horse
at work should have water five or six times
a day. If he does not drink more than two
or three quarts at time all the better. A
horse that is kept from water till he will
drink two or three pailfuls will be very
likely to have his digestive organs and bow
els seriously deranged.
To keep a horse in good working condi-
ton he should be fed regularly, whether at
work or idle in the stable. He will last
many years longer than if, when at work, he
is heavily fed. and when idle neglected. A
horse on the farm should always be cleaned
at least once day, and when hard at work
both night and morning If not at work
good grooming once day would be suffi-
Gent, and when idle good hay might be SUBJ
stituted for grain at the MONDAY meal, but
when at work grain should be given, as he
would obtain more nutrition in half an hour
from grain than in many hours from hay.
A hired man who is worthy of his hire will
take pride in ministering to the comfort and
improving the appearance of the animals he
drives.

Forest Leaves for Hotbeds.

Forest leaves are excellent To mix with
hotbed material, and where practicable,
should be saved for this purpose. They do
not heat SO rapidly as stable manure, and in
this have an advantage as tempering its VIC
ience, making it last longer, and maintain
ing more regular heat. They are excellent
materials to put round cold frames to protect
haif,hardy plants. A board is put up the
height of the frame boards, and about a foot
or more from them, and the leaves filled in
between. Ii the plants are somewhat tender,
the bottoms OF the frames may be filled in a
few feet with the leaves. Much heat is
thrown off during the decomposition of the
leave', which, though not enough TO keep
out severe frost, yet modifies somewhat
the temperature. These leaves, after they
have been two or threeyears decaying, make
admirable stuff for potting and flowers in
general.
