FARM AND GARDEN.

THE VERSUS THE BUaGY,--The
memory OF man exCendeth 70 Gne day
when the boys OF the farm were prOud
to ride fine young horse to church or
to see the girls. They took pride i'm the
colts and taught them to move freely
under the saddle, and above all, when
the colt was broken he was taught to
walk. Now the boys must have fine
buggy and harness, AMI the colt must
show his style and speed all the time.
The boy ls In too great hurry to allow
the colt to walk. The colt, buggy and
boy are soon useG-2p set by fast driy
tnA. The whole business Of buggy
riding by farmers boys is expensiVe.
extravagant and deneraliztne. Not
one farmer In ten can afford such a
turnout for the lad. Many of them
buy buggy and let it stand in the sun
and storm. They are too poor to have
house for vehicles. Some men cannot
anord the luxury Of buggy. II we
could return to the fashion Of riding
on horseback we would save millions to
the farmers, and the boys and girls
would develop better forms anu Lave
better health. Any lazy lout can ride
In buggy, but to be graceful rider
on horseback one must have some ener-
~ and get up in his nature. There is
life and health in riding OH horseback.
The whole system feels the invigora-
ting effect of 1t. The rider and the
horse catch the fire of sympathy and
excitement in the run or fast PAGES,
and every nerve and muscle Of the body
is brought into healthful invigorating
play. The mania for trotting horses
has been felt on every farm in the land.
The country is full Of road horses that
some man or boy loves to pull the string
on. They are usually poor sadJlers,
slow walkers, and rough. We need a
reform: The place to begin is In breed
Ing class Of horses of good size, style
and action, that can move freely in
more than one gait. The English
market Is open for such horses. The
well-knit horse Of good style aud ac-
tion, suitable for hunter or a carriage,
will bring better prices than our aver.
age horse. The farmer will find 1t to
his interest to raise class of colts that
the boys will like to ride. He can
raise three or four fine saddle colts for
what one buggy and harness will cost
and fair saddle horse will bring more
than the average roadster.

The Bastlle.

The Bastile of Paris, did not actually
become notorious as State prison
until the reign of Louis Kill, al
though high personages were confined
In 1t from time to time almost from its
first extstence--tn fact, If tradition Is
to DO believed, the very noble who
built 1t by the Kings command was the
first one to pine away in its deep recess
es. A lcttre de cachet from the King was
all that was required to bring any one
there, and once their it was no easy
matter to get out, for nothing but an
other order from the King would have
the least etfect-lt being to the interest
Of the Governor to have as MANY pri-
soners az possible, as he was allowed so
much per head, and the scale of prices
was very liberal-sO much 80 that the
post was looked upon as very fat
berth for any one who had no objection
to doing dirty work. Not only mon
but women and children found their
way into the Bastile, 80 that there was
often lack of accommodations. The
cells were all In the high round towers,
where heavy iron grating and pccu-
liar construction of the windows pre-
vented more than q modicum of the
daylight from entering. The dungeons
were slightly beneath the level of the
moat, and narrow opening into the
ditch was all the provision for fresh
air and light. The foul odors, which
were all that the prisoner in one of
these could get rs a substitute for fresh
air, soon broke down his health. and
unless he was Of a very robust consti-
tuition he did not live long. The build
Ing had accommodation for fifty State
prisoners, but when it's doors were
opened OH the memorable 18th Of July,
1879 only seven were found; among
them being man who had been a
prisoner thirty years. and who had be-
came 80 weakened in his intellect dur
that time that he begged piteously to be
allowed to remain--hc was 80 used to
the gloom and silence. Another had
been imprisoned when boy of eleven.
and though he was now long past man 's
estate, neither he nor anybody seemed
to know why he was there. On the
wall were the records of others who
had passed long llietimes in those cells,
either FOR some real or imaginary trI-
vial offence. The Bastile was then to
the people Of France synonym of all
that was dcspotic, cruel and contcmp-
tiblc In the government, aud for this
reason it was razcd TO the ground, and
consequently, no doubt, the Third Re-
public was selected the anniversary of
that decd for special honor.

Guilty OF properly curing such heavy

When 1t Is remembered that thirty tons

OF curing is seen to be an important
one. The French system of cnsilage
may In time come to the rescue and
provide method OF preservation that
retains tho fodder in its green state
but the introduction of such system
must be slow, and until then the old
method OF dry preservation must be
practiced. The putting together of
large Quantities OF half-cured stalks
must be abandoned, as it has been the
greatest source of loss to those who
have grown fodder corn. The NOW
should be thoroughly ventilated by
shafts passing up through its centre,
and when tho fodder Is put in stacks,
they should lie Of small size, holding
put few tons, and, better still, pro-
vlded with a shaft, made of few
boards, in the middle. ..
