BALKY HORSES. AS long as we can re-
member we nave read Of remedies for
balky horses, and they have been pretty
much of the same nature, TO wit To
examine the harness on one sice then on
the ether, then jump into the wagon and
drive off. Very nice, but try it, Next
take the horse out OF the shafts, and make
him go rouud and round until he is giddy,
etc. Rather difficult, we think, TO make
horse gld6y. Next, to place the hand
over the horses nose and hold 1t there,
preventing him from breathing until he
wants 10 go. Easy 10 try. Next, take a
couple of turns of stout twine around the
foreleg just below the knee, tight enough
for the horse TO feel, and tie IN bownot.
He will al once star and the string can
be removed. Next take the tail OF the
horse between the hind legs and tie by u
cord to the saddle girth. Next, tie string
around The horses ear close 10 his head
There is another which we know frequent
ly answers, which is TO catch up a hand
full of dirt and force il into the mouth
OF the animal. But there is another, the
one we have adopted in all cases, and have
never yet known 10 fail. Ii Is TO pass a
lwine around the lower Jaw, and Of course
below the tongue, and tie it quite tight
over the top of the head, leaving an end OF
two OF three feet, by which 10 pull at,
walking in front of the horse. This will
be 1ound TO be remedy III ali cases II

DoNT WHIP A FRIGHTENED HoRsE.-lt
seems TO be characteristic failing of most
coachmen TO lay the lash upon horse that
exhibits fear at al object IN the street or
beside the road. Mr.. Bergh, President Of
the Society of the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, says in the organ of that
society what every reasonable being ought
to know, and that is TO never whip horse
for becoming frightened at any object by
the roadside, for If he sees a stump, log,
or heap of tan-bark in the road, and,
while he is eyeing it carefully, and about
to pass it, you strike him with the whip, il
is the log, or stump, or the tan-bark that is
hurting him in his way of reasoning, and
the next time he will be more fnghJene /.
Give him to smell all these objects and use
the bride to assist you in bringing him
carefully to those objects of fear.

HOUSE LINEN Once a year the house

as have seen the largest share of their
days of usefulness and yet are still unbro-

they may come into service when an un-
usual number of bed changes are required.
Supply their places with new ones, and
thus keep an abundance of fresh beL ding
for emergel c. .eS. The kitchen table cloths
if tfey threaten to break, should be cut
up, hemmed. and devoted 10 the dish wash
ing department, ana new ones OF unhleacn-

Glass wiping cloths should not be OF elder
ly linen, because of its tell-ta tibreS, and
because there is a linen provided for glass
sufficiently inexpensive for the purpose Of
even the most economical housewife.
Hand towels should be looked over and
replemshed. Those for the kitchen should
be devidid and doomed to the hoor-cloth
hooks. and others, always with a tape
loop at each end Of them where a roller is
not in use, should take the place of the
old towels. There can hardly be too
many towels IN the kitchen. The dining
room table cloths may lie cut into large
