Box STALLS IN THE STABLE-Box stalls
are necessary appendage to large stables.
Two or three stalls for the use of sick and
lame horses are indispensable to all large
establishments. The more box stalls the
better for training race-horses. They are far
better than open stalls for conditioning the
racer, and are better for wintering that class
when out of training. They should be built
from twelve to sixteen feet square, which
would give abundant room for the largest
class of inmates to lie down and get up
without being cramped for room. These
stalls can be converted into single stalls, by
a movable partition, when necessity requires
it. Each stall ought to have an escape pipe
running up to the root, to carry off the foul
air, and apertures at the bottom to let in
fresh air The constant ingress of fresh air
and the egress of foul air will cleanse and
nurify the stable. Condition for winning
races is nothing more than good health, put
in execution by constant exercise and good
grooming. Preserve the health of horses by
pure air and clean stables, and the skill of the
trainer will more easily put them in condi-
ton to contest for the palm of victory
Great consequence is attached to health and
condition in the breeding stable 1t is ac-
knowledged to be the turning point of sue
cess in breeding establishments.-Ndtion

ANCIENT IDEAS AS TO FARMs.-Old Cato,
the Roman senator, was not only a senator
a true republican-but also farmer. He
wrote book upon farming. "Our ances-
tors, said Cato, regarded it as grand point
iof husbandry not to have too much land in
one farm, for they considered that more ben
eft lie by holding little and tilling it
IwsI' Virgil says, and this was after the
.ampige had begun: "The farmer may praise
states, but let him cultivate a small
.haa.' And Curtius, the Roman orator, went
a ~ g to say: "He was not to be counted
tooa citizen, but rather dangerous man
Ito the State, who could not cOntent'himself
with seven acres of land"

ORCHARD CAUSE.-THE HuSbdndmdR, in
speaking about testing orchard-grass, says ::
;All accounts of seeding with orchard-grass
we're the repetition of a simple story tersely
told in the two words-full success. Never
before the past spring have so many farmers
5f the club ventured so far in extending the
ist of grass-seeds brought into use. Orchard
grass stands to-day well established and
thrifty ON many fields where no single seed
of the variety was ever dropped before last
spring. It has yet to go through the rigors
pf winter before it is fully proved, but there
S little doubt that it will stand the test.

THE GRANGE.-A New York business man
has good opinion of the Grange. He says: l
desire to say that from recent Investigations,
as have had opportunity, you are engaged
in noble cause and one that will commend
itself to every right-minded man and woman
in the Commonwealth; cause that seeks to
elevate manhood and woManhood by civili-
zation, education, unity, and equality with
out regard to their financial condition. The
development of that object will, l predict,
result ere long in q greater prosperity among
the masses of the people and develop public
sentiment that will cause the monopolies of
the country to take heed, lest they fall and
are crumbled under the feet of the honest
tilIers of the soil Then will taxation
through this broad land be equalized and
the interests of the farmer and mechanic be
respected, and not till then; but the cloud,
thank God, of the Order that was once no
bigger than mans hand is now porten-
tous with the wOrds-love and equity to all
mankind in their vested rights"

WHEN TO CUT SoRGHUM-We observe
that the advice to cut sorghum when the
seed is in the dough is still persisted in by
some writers. This may answer a certain
purpose if only an inferior grade of molas-
ses is desired, but certainly not for crystal
lizable sugar. In the earlier Investigations
on the sorghum it was demonstrated that
the best time to cut the stalks was after the
seed had fully ripened. This will be found
fully explained in the Report of the Agri-
cultural Department for 1862; and during
the past four years numerous and carefully
conducted analyses have been made by the
Department, all of which tend to substanti-
ate the results of these early experiments.
If anything has been discovered in the
treatment of this cane, it certainly is that
of the best time to cut it for sugar. 1t is
therefore somewhat strange that those who
proffer advice on this subject should still
persist in deceiving farmers and others by
giving directions so entirely opposed to
well-known facts. If everything connected
with sorghum was as clearly exposed as the
time TO cut the cane, progress in sugar
manufacture would be insured.
