Grooming Horses.

Every horse owner ought to know
that good grooming is a great saving Of
feed. This is demonstrably true. if not
in actual economy of oats and hay, at
least in the horses feeling. spirit, ac-
ton and ability TO travel or labor. 1t
j. real economy if we can get more 90
and labor by the use of certain guam
tity of food with good grooming than
without, for then with the same groom
ing the feed can be reduced. This is
understood among horse-men the world
over. seldom groom my own horses,
though l like to do it, rs does every
man who loves a horse; but il involves
so much changing of clothes, and bath
ing. and Disgusting of odors by scented
soap. etc. that prefer TO clean horses
and stables by proxy. Lately. however.
my good man-of- all-work was down with
pneumonia, and took hold. OF course
] met with new experiences. One is,
the knowledge of the value of an old
stub-brOom. One of the horses was
very nervous about having the hind
legs cleaned. and the stub-broom seemed
almost as eiiicacious rs curry-cOmb
and brush; indeed, the horses liked it.
Within two days could use brush or
comb. or ANYTHING else | presume, with
out their tiinching unless actually hurt.
The broom was prepared by cutting of
the corn about four inches beyond where
it was corded.
Some months ago picked up wire
"mane brush" made of steel wires
about an inch long. set in 4 rubber plate
in some way. They are quite stiff, but
mobile in their setting. The men have
not used it, or very little, if at ALL They
prefer root brush for the name and
tail. and it is certainly very good. l
notice that most men, in grooming a
horse. draw the brush across the curry
comb to remove the dust, with little
more vigor than they draw it over the
horse The result is, that the brush is
soon worn out down to the back. l
substituted the wire brush above noted
for the curry comb, and the result is
very satisfactory. The dandruff and
dust are removed more thoroughly. and
the brush hardly worn at all.
A horse which has been badly treated
NAV be inclined to lift his foot viciously
against the groom when working about
his legs When a COW kicks. we put
strap around her just in front of her
hips. If she lifts her foot, the action of
the stiile-ioint is to cause tightening
of the skin in the flank. which is quite
painful, and SO she does not do it. Now
if man takes horses tanl provided
it is long enough), and draws it through
between the hind legs. and holds the
end firmly in one hand just over the
stifle, horse can be controlled on the
same principle. 1t makes horse
little nervous and restless, however, and
should be done so as not to give the ami
NAL any needless pain.-Cor. american

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Plenty of sto-k and grass makes
good land and large crops.
If you have garden, do not throw
away the soapsuds from the laundry;
keep it to Use as fertilizerfor your flower
beds.-N y. Post.
The plum should be allowed to be-
come fully ripe before being picked. and
the fruit will be finer rs the tree has a
more sunny exposure.
The bee-keepers in Los Angeles
and San Bernardina Counties, Cali
fornia. say there has never been bet
ter prospect for large yield of honey
than now exists.
Whatever he has done, or neglected
to do. in the past. the farmer who has
land which can properly be devoted to
that purpose should make it a point this
year to set few fruit-trees.
Baron Liebig says: The only meth
cd by which you can possibly advance
and develop agriculture is by expert
ments; that is the only plan; for there
is no branch of industry SO completely
built up by experiment as agriculture"

Chief Engineer Melville.

Chief Engineer George W. Melville,
who is making the hazardous and al
most hopeless search for the missing
boat and party of the Jeanette under
command of Lieutenant Chipp, is a
man of very striking appearance. He
was born in New York, and in his
Young days his family was well known
among the old Knickerbockers. He is
a heavily-built man, weighing about 1870
pounds. and is about five feet eleven
inches in height. OF large and power
full frame, he is of light complexion
and has bright. piercing blue eyes. He
is supple and a skilled athlete. When
he returned from the Arctic in the
Tigress. in November, 1873, he visited
the engineers office in the Navy yard.
and, when met BY his brother officers.
the natural question was asked: swell.
George. how do you feel?' He an
swered: AS bright as new uniform,
and never felt better;'" and, to prove
his assertion, turned handspring with
out the least difficulty. When serving
his time in the machine-shop he could
do more work in the same time than
any other man, and when passing
through the shop if he met an obstruc-
ton no higher than his shoulders he
would spend no time in going around it.
but would jump over it with the greatest
ease.

THE British have followed the Egyptians
into the interior, and the fighting has COM
menced. The foreign force so far in Egypt is
quite small, though ARABS army is said to
humber u hundred thousand men. He has
sufficient prestige and following to give

Ajan troops will. in short time, however,
reach the scene of action and take hand,
and II is very doubtful il the Egyptians
will be able to stand before them. The

Washington News Items.
ADMIRAL NICHOLSON.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The navy de-
partment has received mail advlces from
Admiral Nicholson at Alexandria to July
9th. His dispatches are interesting and
voluminous, but later reports by cable
have deprived them of much of their
news. Nicholson reports that at
that date he knew only about q
dozen Americans in Egypt and nearly
all of these were in official positions. Two
were missionaries and were on board an
American vessel. He had offered shelter
to any Europeans in Alexandria belonging
to nations who had no war vessels in the
harbor, and several had availed themselves
of his offer. Judge Farnum and his asso.
ciates of the mixed court were on board the
Galena.

The delegates attributed the fact to natu-
