About Buying Horses.

Few persons have sufficient expert
ence and Judgment to select a horse
with any reliable certainty of getting
what they want. A farmer can buy a
pig and not be deceived. 1t requires
only small amount of experience to
select a flock of sheep. Dairy farmers
naturally acquire considerable expert
ence in regard to the qualities of dairy
stock, as result of constant care given
to such stock. But when it comes to
dealing in horses, those who can rely
wholly upon their own unaided judg
ment are few. There are so many
things requisite to constitute good
horse, and the absence of many of these
requisites is very hard to detect. The
defects of form, constitution and tenn
permanent are hard to discover and very
easy to conceal temporarily. A rough,
hard skin, indicative of poor digestion,
may be concealed in a measure by good
grooming. Many incipient weaknesses
and blemishes of the feet and limbs are
exceedingly difficult to detect while the
animal is in motion. Horse dealers are
well aware of this, and almost always
show off their animals to intending pur-
chasers by keeping them in motion.
Many men want to see horse put
through his best PAGES, and very often
insist on it. This is a great mistake, as
it really tells nothing, and sometimes
conceals great deal. Defects of the
feet or limbs can never be ascertained
while an animal is in motion, unless in
case of positive lameness, and even
then the extent and location of the in-
jury can be ascertained with much
greater certainty while the animal is at
rest. 1t is hard to ascertain whether
horse is balky, or kicker, or has run
away, until he actually does it again.
The inexperienced purchaser can al
WAYS exact a definite warranty from
responsible seller, or in default of such
warranty, can insist upon chance to
try the horse. In any case where an
honest dealer wishes to sell horse for
what the animal is worth, he cannot re-
fuse to warrant horse in any required
particular. Any other course savors
strongly of an attempt to deceive one
who has no sufficient means of acquir-
ing a knowledge of defects and faults
easy to be concealed. Any hor est deal
err can have no OBJ lection to any course
that will give the fullest information to
the intending purchaser. 1t is easy to
say that a farmer should raise his own
horses; many farmers do not care to do
this. Often farmer is obliged to pur-
chase; he cannot go without horses,
and it requires more time to breed them.
A farmer cannot always buy horse
which he knows to be a good one, for
quite likely the owner of that good
horse wishes to keep him; hence the
necessity of caution when buying
horse.-Cor. Country Gentleman.

Forcing Rhubarb.

Outside of places where there are pro-
fessional gardeners, the forcing of veg
etables is very little known in this coun-
try. People in general are content with
"things in their season." and do not
trouble themselves to force or retard.
Perhaps the easiest vegetable to force is
rhubarb, and by taking little trouble,
material for pies and sauce may be had
some weeks in advance of the supply
from the open ground. The things
needed are clumps of rhubarb roots,
soil, and a dark, warm place. The
roots should be dug before the ground
freezes. As fine rhubarb as we ever
saw was forced in barrel or cask; the
roots, packed in on a layer of soil and
surrounded by it, the cask covered
tight, and set near the furnace in the
cellar. A box to hold the roots, and set
in a cupboard or closet in the kitchen
will answer; or box or barrel may be
placed in the kitchen. Keep moderate
iy warm, and see that the roots are suf-
ficiently moist. A few roots will give an
astonishingly abundant supply, much
more tender and crisp and less violently
sour than the outdoor crop.--4n'ericd1

A Fire.Haunted Man.

Mr.. James Minor, a wealthy bachelor
of Nelson County, and brother of Hon.
William E. Minor. of this county, pos
sesses history so much out of the com.
mon run that it is well worthy of being
put on record. He is literally a fire.
haunted man. All his life he has been
persistently followed by series OF
strange fatalities that are in themselves
almost enough to cause the superstitious
to look upon his visits as something to
be dreaded. At the decease of his father
he inherited the homestead farm, the
dwelling on which was at that day one
of the finest residences in Nelson County.
1t caught fire and was consumed to
ashes. He erected a new house at a
like cost, only to become in its turn food
for the hungry flames He subsequently
engaged in the lumber business and lost
large and valuable lot of lumber by
fire. He then visited his brother,
residing in Hollis Bottom, this county,
and in two or three days after his
arrival the dwelling of the latter was
consumed by fire. He then went to
they were conversing about the strange

life, the kitchen of her house burst into
flames.
Returning to Kentucky and visiting at
the house of a relative in his native
county, while the family were discussing
his bad luck-during the course of con-
versation his host assured him that
while they were glad to see him, of
course, they were rather afraid that they
would be burned up in consequence OF
his visit-the kitchen of that house was
also discovered to be on fire. From
thence he proceeded to visit the family
of another relative in the same county,
and, as usual, the subject of the re-
markable fatality that seemed to pursue
him formed the staple of conversation.
A broom in the room was ignited by a
spark from the fire, whereupon the
young lady of the house remarked that
She had left some fire in the parlor and
she believed she would 60 and see il
everything was right. Opening the
parlor door, the apartment was discov-
cred to be in flames. If any county in
any State can produce a man who can
truthfully point to a life filled with such
strange experiences, or anything at all
approaching them, now is the time to
bring him to the front.-Breckin77

i. The hemlock makes a beautiful
screen when kept moderately cut back,
the foliage retaining its fresh green hue
through the winter, and growing better
in shade than most evergreens. For
this reason the interior of the hedge does
not become so denuded and bare as
those of the arbor vitae and some other
trees. In addition to its beauty it may
be made strong barrier by stretching;
lengthwise through its center two good
galvanized barbed wires as the hedge Is
growing up and forming. The best
plants can be had of nurserymen, who
SELL them by the hundred or thousand ;
and if some earth is retained on theil
roots in removal they will live.

The Dublin correspondent of the

The st. Louis (Mo.) POST Dispatch at the
close of long article says: In fact st. Jacobs
Oil is pushing all other remedies out of the
field, and, excellent though some of the lini
ments formerly offered are, the efficacy of St.
Jacobs Oil is magical in cases of sciatica, rheu-
matisrn, pleurisy, neuralgia, nervous head
ache, lumbago and scores of other disorders :;
while in the case of sprains, burns or injuries
it is an absolute panacea, and for general use
is better than the advice of many physicians.

The method proposed by M. Ance-
lin for heating railway cars, namely, by
the use of acetate of soda in the foot
warmers, seems to have proved quite
satisfactory on some of the French lines.
As is well-known, the substance thus
employed has considerable latent heat i;
dissolved at certain temperature, it
absorbs large quantity of heat, which
becomes sensible during Capitalization
in cooling. All that is required is to fill
the ordinary cases with a sufficient
quantity of acetate, close them, and
place them in stove at about 100 de-
grees. The cooling of a case thus
charged and heated takes twelve 10 fiji
teen hours. The warmers thereafter are
taken from the compartment and placed
in Somewhere the crystals OF soda
acetate are redissolved-and are then
ready for fresh use. Chief among the
advantages of this system are the non
necessity of changing warmers every
two or three hours, the small number OF
hands required to attend them at the sta.
tions, and economy in cost of heating
