Fastenlngs for Cattle. ].

A subscriber desires to know what we
consider the best way of tying or fas-
tening cattle in stalls, and if the
stanchion is the preferable wayP We
do not hesitate to say that we do not
like the stanchion and would never use
it. 1t is TO certain extent cruel aud
barbarous. When an animals head is
kept in one position constantly for any
length of time, it must necessarily be-
come 'tiresome and painful. Whether
standing up or lying down the same I'M
changed position, except up and down,
in the stanchion is maintained. How.
ever strenueusly and honestly the ad-
vocates and defenders of the stanchion
may insist upon the utility and comfort
of this device for fastening cattle, the
fact remains that common experience
and common sense alike teach that the
almost rigid position of an animals
head fastened in stanchion can not
be comfortable when confined therein
for any length of time 1t is not a sick
ly sentimentality that prompts the OPP
position which has been made to this
unhuman fastening. However easy and
comfortable it may be to stand in the
natural position for awhile, it necessari-
ly becomes irksome and at last painful.
There are number of devices for fas-
tening that are simple and economical,
any one of which are, in our opinion,
preferable to the stanchion. The ad-
vantages claimed for the stanchion are
the ease with which they are manipu-
lated; they do not allow the animals to
step backward beyond certain line,
nor lie down in their droppings. The
arguments in favor of stanchions rests
mainly on these claims, but as against
the cruelty of the method it loses its
force.
Among other devices used are gates
OF various kinds, halters of different
styles, some of them with chain slid
ing through groove in the manger in
which is roller of light weight attached
to the end of the chain. Sliding halters
of various kinds are used but among
the simplest devices is the ld-fashioned
broad leather strap, to fasten around
the animals neck with ring attached.
A small chain with snap hook or catch
attached admits of fastening or releas-
ing the animal instantly. The chain
may slide on a roller either in or oven
the manager, SO as not to admit of en-
tangling the animal. Another device is
made to fasten around the horns-or in
the case of polled cattle, is attached to
halter made for the purpose-two
chains running over pulleys above and
at the sides of the stall l. Prairie Farmer

Horse Points.

All agree, says writer in the Agrj-
cultural GaEette, it is the action in the
horse that sells. This is obtained when
we have the complemental power in the
muscles, the greatest leverage from the
bones, and quality in the tendons, health
in the ligaments, and truth in the diSpo-
stion of the limbs. We adjudicate on
the horses headquarters as whole. All
horses with any pretensions to quality or
family possess length and straightness
from the hips to tail. This is especially
graceful and horizontal in the thorough
bred.
l. Length from hip to hook is the cri-
terion both of speed and power; all
horses of value are "well let downnain
their quarters, affording increase of
length and volume in the muscles, pow
er and speed accruing. The hahnch-
bone and thigh-bone-the first strong
and long, the second strong, of average
length; this naturally varies with breed,

and thigh-bone we find the stihe in stu.
A good one, without exception, is high
up abutting the flank This is the con
centration of power in all classes; it is
certain sign that the haunch-bone is
well sloped forward, and that the thigh
bone is well carried back. y
g. The hook we have previously de-
termined on, but as in the forelegs, j
counsel young beginners to avoid weak,
ill-defned knees; so here, have as little
to do with horses whose OS calSiS, or
point of the hook, is ill-defned Re
member puff and gum is weakness. Sc
cure hooks that are clean and well de-
fined. The OS c0lSiS contributes lever
age; it is evidence both of power and
speed. The hind cannons, or metatar-
sal bones, must individually be straight,
with just soupcon of inclination for
ward. They should be flat and short;
breadth under the hook here is strength,
the sign of quality. Feel tendons along
their course, that the legs, as in the
fore, are clean in the tendons (broad

Miss Mamie Richards, of the town
of Amigo, Langlade County, Wis.,, is
about as plucky a young lady as there is
to be found in the State. The past sum-
mer she has taught school in the big

every morning through dense forests
where there is but trail, and where it
is nearly dark in broad daylight, and

wolves about her path, and once was

Russian Railways.

Travelling by railway in Russia is
claimed to be more comfortable and
enjoyable than in any other part of the
world. From st. Petersburg to Mos
cow the distance is 400 miles, and the.
night train travels over it in fifteen
hours. The carriages are roomy and
lofty, and fitted with all conveniences for
travellers. There are regular halts at.
convenient intervals; the finest stations,
the best supplied and cheapest refresh.
ment-rooms, and everything is done to-
protect the traveller from the winter,
cold or the summer heat. To Russia
the introduction of railroads has Ger
tainly proved of great benefit. In the
times of mail coaches the fastest time of
the imperial mail between the two
places was five days and nights, on at
the rate of three and one-half miles an
hour. When to this slow trayel the dis
comfort of a Russian winter with its
binding snow and sleet, and the tenn
perature thirty degrees below zero, or
the summer heatwith its sitting dust,
areadded, it must be admitted that the
railroad has proved great boon to
Russia.

Influence OF Lime on Soils.

Professor E. w. Hilgard, in discussing
the "Objects and Interpretation of Soil
Analyses, gives among other things the
following advantages resulting from an
adequte supply of lime in soils: -.
1. A more rapid transformation of
vegetable matter into active humus,
which manifests itself by dark, or
deep black tint of the soil. ..a
2. The retention of such humus,
against the oXidizing influences of hot
climates; witness the high humas-per-
ceptages of such soils, as against all
others, in the Southern States.
3. Whether through the medium of
this humus, or in more direct manner,
it renders adequate for profitable cul-
ture percentages of phosphoric acid and
potash so small that, in the case of de-
ticiency or absence of lime, the soil is
practically sterile.
A. 1t tends to secure the proper main
tenance of the conditions of nitrifcation,
whereby the inert nitrogen of the soil is
rendered available.
5. 1t eXerts n most important physical
action on the Ejaculation, and there
fore on the tillability of the soil, as
shown by Schlnsing and by myself.
Professor Hilgard adds that in the ma
jority of soils excepting those that are
extremely sandy, the lime percentage
is greater in the subsoil than in the
surface soil. This is, doubtless, he ex-
plains, the result OF. the easy solubility
of calcic carbonate in the soil water,
which carries it downward and thus
tends to deplete the surface SOIL This
fact is strikingly shown in the results of
Loughridge's investigation on the COM
position of the several sediments, The
efficacy of lime in preventing running
to-weed" in fresh soils, and in favoring
the production of fruit, is conspicuously
shownlin a number of cases. ,

The Laws of Livery.

Differences between the livery-stable
man and the hirer of the horse are-very
frequent, and generally, though the
owner of the animal may get peCuniary
redress, it is the poor brute that mostly
suffers. To ride or drive borrowed
or hired horse 10 the devil has become
a common saying. One or two recent
English cases are worth commenting
upon, as showing that that very much
abused person, the livery-stable keeper,
has certain rights.
A man hired a horse and carriage at
Ipswich, with the understanding that he
would drive to Colchester and return
the same day. distance of twenty
miles each way. The person who had
the horse and vehicle drove not only to
the place specified, but to town ten
miles further on-working the horse
sixty miles within the specified time of
hiring. The horse died next day. The
veterinary surgeon was of the opinion
that the animal had been overdriven.
The defendants counsel argued that
the agreement was to drive "through. !"
Colchester, but the jury did not think
so, and the plaintiff won the case, with
verdict of E21, the value of the horse.
Deviations from fixed route between
two places, when horse is hired and
injury is sustained by the livery-keeper,
may bring a penalty on the hirer. BE.
tween New York and place called A.
the distance may be thirty miles, and
the livery-stable keeper knows the dis
lance. But if the hirer takes round
about ways to reach there, increasing
the distance travelled, knowing the
proper or shorter road, he is, unless he
has specified to n go-as-you-please
method of journeying, liable to dam
ages. As to damages to vehicles, so
constant with awkward drivers, it
would be quite wise if tariff of charges
were put up in livery-stables. Then a
man would know before he started what
his rig was worth.-Lo'ceH Courier.

Action OF Paris Green on Potatoes.

Theactioh of Paris greenon potatoes,
it is thought by some growers, lis to
hasten their maturity. The american
CultiCatOr expresses the following opin-
ions onithe subject "As Paris green
does not enter into the composition of
the plant, it is impossible that it should
affect in any way or manner the tubers.
We might, however, say that the lack
of Paris green or other insect destroyer
would increase the maturing qualities of
the tubers. " Most of our farmers apply
Paris green freely to the potato vines up
to the time of their blossoming when
the tubers are forming. After this
time, however, another brood of bugs
makes its appearance, but farmers are
apt to argue that the pototoes, being
about grown, will suffer no harm from
this second brood, so the latter are left
to work at pleasure upon the vines,
which they cause to die much sooner
than they otherwise would. OF course
the result of dying down in this way is
to cause much earlier maturity on the
part OF the tubers than would other
wise .occur.a Ii an additional dose of
Paris green or London purple was add
1nffistered to this latter brood the tops
of the potatoes would be Kept alive
longer, the tubers would grow larger
and would be some weeks longer in ma
turing. Thus it will be seen that the
Paris green or Londonpurple. properly
used, is really the preventive of early
maturity rather than its Sause,"
