Capital In Farming.

Ii there is one wlnt more conspicuous
than another among many farmers of the
present time, it is ih5 lack of sufficient ca
pital 10 carry on their business protitably;
they have too much land, and too little
ready money or floating capital in the
shape of stock and tools. To make use
of the improved methods and machinery
now used, requires money; to improve the
breed of cattle needs money and time.
Without using the best methods, however,
and the best machines, and the best stock,
there is not much margin Of profit, and the
question the farmer has to face is, how to
raise the capital needed by the business
There are many young men of energy and
tact who would be justified in mortgaging
their farms, rather than to continue to work
them with insufficient means; others would
prefer to sell part of their land. Combi-
nations are often made among nelghbors
for the purchase Of expensive machines or
of thoroughbred male animals, to be used
in common. The methods within the reach
of each man 1UiH have to be chosen accor-
ding to his circumstances, but there are
very many men, especially in New Eng
land, who could use u few hundreds or
even a few thousands of. dollars in im-
proving theif stock and tools, and who
could well aft ri TO pay six per cent for
the money, Farmers. as class, are not
very en;erprising; they prefer to lend on
mortgage rather than TO borrow. and sell
dom use as much money in their business
as il requires. II isdifIerent with the trader;
he Is constantly trying TO use money in his
business, il he has i not, he bOrrows it,
and II lie fails Oitener than the farmer to

Saddle Horses.

The gaits that especially commend a
horse for use in the saddle are, the yak,
the for trot, the single foot and the rack.
The walk is gait understood by everybody
but everybody does not understand that a
good saddle horse ought TO be able TO go a
square walk at the rate of five miles an
hour. The fox trot is faster than the
square walk, and the horse will usually
take few steps at this gait when chang
ing from fast walk to trot. 1t may be
easily taught to most horses by urging them
beyond their ordinary walking speed, and
when they strike the fox-trot step, holding
them to it. They will soon learn to like il
and it is one OF the easiest of gaits for both
horse and rider. The single foot differs
somewhat from the fox-trot, and has been
described as exactly intermediate between
the true trot and the true walk. Each foot
appears to move independently of the
other, with sort of pit a-pa:, oue-at-a-
time motion. and il is a much faster gait
than the fox-trot.
The rack is very nearly allied to the
true pacing gait, the difference being that
in the latter the hind hOof keeps exact
time with the fore foot of the same side
making 1t what has been called lateral or
ne-slde-at-a-time motion, while in the for
mer the hind foot touches the ground
slightly in advance OF the fore foot on the
same side. The rack is not 80 fast gait
as the true pace, but is very desirable
gait in a saddle-horse. In addition, the
perfect saddle horse should be able to tot,
pace and gallOp, and should be quick, MR.
vous ard elastic in all his motions, without
a particle of dullness or slugglshncss in his
nature. His mouth should be sensitive,
and he should respond instantly to the
slightest motion of the rtius in the hards
of the rider. A poor and clumsy rider,
however, will soon spoil the best-trslned
in the world, aud such a per-
son should never be permItted TO mount
horse that is exceptionally valuable for
that purpose. A ''plug" horse aud

OLIVES OF CALVES HEAD.-Parooll the
half Of calf's head with the tongue and
brains, and cut thin even slices from the
thickest part of the head, and lengthway
slices from the tongue. Make stuffing
of minced ham, savory herbs and Pepper
and salt. Brush the slices with the beaten
yelk of an egg, and spread your stuffing
equally over them. Roll them firmly into
shape, and lie them securely with twine.
Lay the olives as closely together as pos

them, and stew them very slowly for an
hour and half with sufficient gooG stock
to nearly cover them. When done, ar
range them neatly on dish with brown
mushroom sauce.
