The following simple rules will be found
useful to all parties about to buy horse
l. Never take the sellers word if dishon-
est be will be certain to cheat you if dispos-
cd to be fair, he may have been the dupe of
another, and will deceive you through repre-
sensations which cannot be relied upon
.. Never trust TO q horses mouth as a
sure index to his age
3. Never buy horse while in motion
watch him while he stands at rest and you
will discover his weak points If sound he
will stand firmly and squarcly on his limbs,
without moving any of them the feet plant
ed flat upon the ground, with legs plumb and
naturally poised II one foot is thrown for
ward with the toe pointing to the ground and
the heel raised. or if the foot is lifted from
the ground and the weight taken from it.
disease Of the nayicular bone may be suspect
ed, or at least tenderness. which is precursor
of disease. If the foot is thrown out, the toe
raised and the heel brought down the horse
has suffered from lammitis, founder, or the
back sinews have been sprained, and he is of
little future value. When the feet are all
drawn together beneath the horse, if there has
been no disease there is a displacement of the
limbs at least and a weak disposition of the
muscles If the horse stands with his feet
spread apart or straddles with the hind legs
there is weakness of the loins and the kidneys
are disordered. When the knees are bent and
the legs totter and tremble, the breast has
been ruined by heavy pulling and will never
be right again, whatever rest and treatment
he may have. Contracted or i'll formed hoofs
speak for themselves.
(. Never buy n horse with BLUSH or
milky cast in his eyes. They indicate a con-
stitutional tendency to ophthalmin moon
blindness, &c.
=. Never have anything to do with a
horse who keeps his ears thrown backward
This is an invariable indication of bad temper.
6. If the horses hind legs are ncarred. the
fact denotes that he is kicker
Z. II the knees are blemished. the horse
is apt to stumble.
$. When the skin is rough and harsh and
does not move easily and smoothly to the
touch, the horse is heavy eater and his di-
gestiou is bad.
9. Avoid a horse whose respiratory organs
are at allimpaired If the ear is placed at the
side Of the heart, and a Wheeling sound is
heard it is an indication of trouble Let him
go. IUrC FithUHd Farm

How MUCH GRASS SEED. The story is told
OF resident of one of our manufacturing viii
lagos who, to save something from the mar
ket mans bill, hired a small piece of ground
for a garden. He marked oil two square rods
of this for beans, and sent his son with four
quarts of seed in bag and instructed him to
plant what was necessary and bring the rest
back. When inquiry was afterwards made
for the balance of the beans, the boy said he
had planted them all, and added that 1.-THE
more you plant the more you will have" and
he wanted to see if they couldn't raise some
beans for once. When il was time for them
TO come up, the old gentleman found that
they were all represented, but a judcious
thinning saved the crop. Some people
when sowing grass seed, apparently think
with the boy that the more seed they SOW per
acre, the more grass they will have. We
well remember asking man who carried an
older head than ours about the quantity of
herdsgrass seed that ought to be used on an
acre. He answered, Never less than half
bushel.' We sowed the half bushel as di-
rected, and it proved to be good seed and
came up so thick that it lodged before
it had attained its full height, and we were
satisfied that half the seed would have pro-
duced vigorous plants that would have given
more and better hay. Four quarts of herds
grass seed evenly spread upon an acre, gives
more than seed to every square inch. Our
rule now is to mix four quarts Of herdsgrass
with four of redtop and two of clover for an
acre. By sowing this quantity of seed we
have never failed of getting good stand of
grass. We think that two OF three varieties
OF grass growing together give better crop,
and that it is eaten with better relish by
the stock. " +. Homestead.

A REMARKABLE NV CEREAI.-The widest
circulation should be given to the fact, stated
on the authority of the Kansas State Board
OF Agriculture. that a cereal new to that local
ity will grow on the arid plains of the West
without irrigation. The grain is variously
called ''pampas rice, rice corn, and 'ECyp-
tian corn and is thought to have sprung
from seed brought to the United States by
the Mennontes, who came from Southern
Russia. The kernels grow in tuft like that
on the top of sorghum. Each one is some
thing smaller and rounder than n grain of
wheat, and is inclosed in "shuck' or indie
pendent capsule. The berry can be eaten
ground into flour or cracked like wheat, or
whole like rice, or used generally like any
other cereal The meal resembles that of
Indian corn, and in color is intermediate be
tween the yellow and white varieties. 4
chemical analysis shows that its percentage
of starch, fat, dextrine, and sugar, which pro
duce heat and fat in the animal organization,
compares fayorably with that Of Iudiun corn
wheat, rye and oats and in its contents of
tesh-forming albuminoids it surpasseS all In
dian corns, and ranks with wheat, rye and
oats. The small percentage of cellulose, or
nearly non-nutritous woody fibre. is remark
able. The stalk makes as good fodder rs
corn does, and few acres will furnish fam
lily with fuel for wiuter--a consideration Of
the first importance in that nearly treeless
country. All this signifies little in compar-
son with its power to resist drought, and +
to that an example, ono of great many at
tested by the signatures Of practical we'll
known farmers may be given Forty acres
of turned-over sod which had not been wet
with rain for eight months, were planted
with two or three of grains, deposited with
a seed-planter, something more than a foot
apart. There was no rain for five weeks aft
er planting, yet the corn terminated After
it was fairly started the hot blasts from the
Llano Estacado blew over it. but it grew
right along, although grass and garden-truck
beside it We're fairly burned up. 1t stood the
rains equally we'll and finally it yielded sixty
60-pound bushels to the acre. 1t is, more
over, worm and grasshopper proof. The
Board of Agriculture prints mass of letters
which place these facts beyond question, and
their significance is of the first importance
From New Mexico to the British line there
are tens of thousands of square miles-jOO,-
600, 600 acres according to a reliable estimate
which il was thought nothing but an expen-
sive system of artesian wells could reclaim to
any better use than pasturage. and now
comes this African plant TO furnish food and
fuel to this vast country besides crops for
export, whose value it may yet be impossible
to express in nine figures

HILLS OR DRILLS FOR Cons. A correSpon-
dent of the Portsmouth Weekly does not be-
lisve in twin ears on stalks of field corn, nor
in planting in hills. He says that lie has
grown corn for twenty years by drill culture
and that by no system of hill planting has he
been able to produce more than two-thirds
as many bushels per acre as when he has
planted in drills. He has the rows from
three feet to three and half feet apart, and
prefers to have the stalks only three inches
apart in the rows. Two ears on a stalk, he
contends, causes a waste of foliage, as do al
so barren stalks and suckers.
In hill culture he finds that four kernels to
the hill brings the best results He is also
opposed to the application of much fertilizer
in the hill, as he believes it tends to force too
heavy a growth of foliage. Corn, in New
England, is again coming to be one of the
staple crops, but unless better methods are
adopted for growing it than were in fashion
twenty years ago, we fear the fashion will be
of short duration One thing is very GER
tain, which is, that it will not answer to let
the fodder waste in the field, ms was the Gus
tom in times pas.

they will prove their faith by putting what
they learn to the test Of experience. This is

Last spring farmer found in his flock a
lamb which the mother did not own. He
gave it to his son, boy fifteen years old
who saved it and raised it, The boy called it
his all summer, all the family called it his and
it was his. But in the fall when his father
sold his other lambs he let this one go with
them, and taking ia, pay for it, tucked it in
to his big wallet and carried it of to pay tax
es or put in the bank.
Now this farmer did not intend to do any,
thing wrong Least of all did he intend to
wrong his boy. Probably he did not give
the matter much thought anyway; and if he
did, he considered the boys ownership of the
lamb sort of pleasant fiction, or reasoned
that the boy, having all his needs supplied
out of the family purse, did uot need the pay
for the lamb, and it was better to put it into
the common fund. But for all that. taking
the lamb and selling it in that way, and peck
etlug the proceeds was stealing. No it was
robbery; and, as between this boy and his
father, one of the meanest robbsries that
could be perpetrated Not only this, but by
robbing the boy of that two dollars the far
mer did more to make the boy disconnected
and drive him away from home than he can
undo with ten times that amount A boy is
little man, and if be has got any Of the
gather and grip to him when he grows up, he
begins at an early age to feel that desire to
own somsthing and TO add to the property
subject to his ownership, which is at once
the incentive to effective work and the mo-
tive which reconciles men to their condition.
No matter how well the boys wants are
provided for from a fund which is common
to the whole family, he takes no particular
interest in adding TO that fund, because he
does not feel that it is his and he tires of Ia
Dor and thought, the proceeds of which he
must share with several others but give him
piece of property Of his own, to manage as
he pleases, to keep or sell or change, aud let
him feel that his ownership is secure and that
his loss or gain depends upon his own endeav-
ors, and he will work cheerfully and content

THE PHYsICALPARADOX.

1t has been said that the blood is the
source of life" 1t is as truly the source of
disease and death. No life. that is to say no
healthy tissue can be generated from impure
blood, no organ of the body can normally per
form its functions when supplied with i'm
pure blood. The fluid that should carry life
aud health to every part, carries only weak
ness and disease. Blood is the source of life,
only when it is pure. If it has become dis
eased, it must be cleansed by proper medi-
cation, else every pulsation of the human
heart sends a wave of disease through the
system. To cleanse the blood of all impuri-
ties use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
