Cause and Cure of shying.

Shying or lodging horses are made
SO, generally, by impaired eyesight,
which gives them an imperfect view of
objects, and they do not recognize or
binary things and are frightened by
them, whereas if they could see we'll
they would not shy. Poor eyesight may
be caused by over-heating, Over-draw-
ing ard by wolf-teeth. For the first
there should cooling diet, such as grass,
carrots and bran-mashes, together with
laxative medicine, glauber salts being
the best, be fed daily with the mashes,
one-fourth pound, until the animal gives
evidence, by the brightness of its coat
and general appearance, that its blood
has become purified and the fever is out
of it. When this condition is reached
the eyesight will be improved and per-
haps restored. Overlooking horses is
both stupid and wicked and strains the
nerves of the eyes for which the only
times daily with mild extract of witch
hazel or some good eye-water. When
this straining is severe nothing will cure
it, and the horse usually becomes blind.
The most common cause of poor eye
sight is produced by wolf-teeth; these
are small and extra teeth which grow
upon the upper jaw in front of the
grinders. Their presence may be often
known by the horses running at the
eyes, showing their infamed condition,
and when the cause is not removed, the
eyesight becomes impaired by a partial
film or weakness. These teeth gen
orally grow when horses are young, but
not always, and when they make their
appearance while they are colts they
are more apt to be neglected, and so
they grow up and are broken to use
with impaired eyesight, and are dan
Cerous to drive on account of their shy
ing at objects. All horses, and especial
ly colts, should be examined frequently
for these teeth, which may be easily re-
moved by pair of common pincers, or
they may be knocked out with an iron
put against them, as they have very
short root.
A spirited horse in use at Kirby
homestead became dangerous to drive
on account of his lodging. Being a
very intelligent animal, it was for a
long time a problem why he was so
foolish, as he would spring suddenly to
one side when passing almost every
dark object. The conclusion was
reached that his eye-sight must be de-
fective, and it was supposed that he
might be near-sighted-born so. There
was no appearance of Inflammation
about the eyes indicating any local dis
order. This horse had wOlf-teeth. which
had probably grown when he was a
colt. As an experiment they were
taken out This horse has improved
wonderfully since they were extracted,
and lodges very little compared to his
former practice. 1t would be wise to
remove all woif-teeth as soon as they
may be observed. rather than take
the chances of their effect on the eye
sight.-F. D. Curtis, IN N T. Tribune.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

Many fruit trees do poorly from
lack of proper drainage of the soil.
Good culture, frequent stirring OF
the soil, is the great factorin corn grow
ing.
Planting crops for honey is receiv-
ing attention from all large apiarists to
supply the lack of honey that comes be-
tween the blooming of the fruit trees
and Of the white clover.
When field has once been brought
to good crop-producing condition, it
should never be allowed to become poor
again. It pays to keep the fields in
'sgood heart. IN I. Examiner.

If you have occasion to use cloths

There is no purifier like fresh air;
and the whole house, every room in it,
whether it has been used or not, should
be opened every day. Many house.
| keepers, who are faultless in every 9TH

the house, and the germs of disease
are developed, and sickness which can
not be accounted for overtakes the

Veal Outlets: Veal outlets are
very nice if dipped in eggs, then in

hot, in the pan before you put the
outlets in. After frying the veal pour
most of the fat out of the pan and
make a rich, brown gravy. Serve with
mashed potatoes, turnips and tomatoes.

Photographic an Elephant.

An exciting scene took place a.
Cross's geological establishment, in
Earl street, Liverpool. a few days ago.
Mr.. Cross wished TO have his elephant,
Jumbo IL, photographed. Several pho
tographers declined to do it, being
afraid to face the animal; but at last
Messrs. Brown, Barnes & Bell under
took tho task Early in the morning,
before the place was open 10 the public.
the elephant. which 4 always chained
up with heavy anchor-ehain, was I'M
fastened and let cut in the yard, but
when he saw the GENERA directed towad
himself, and the photographer manipu-
lating it and looking at him through it,
he got excited, and with one blow of his
trunk he smashed the apparatus, and
was ready to deal a second blow at the
photographer, when some of the staff
of she menagerie rushed TO his assist
ance and succeeded in, restoring the
animal to his normally docile condition.
On being assured thst the elephant
would now keep perfectly quiet, the
photographer commenced his work
again with another camera. and, after
several attempts, succeeded in obtaining
a good negative. 81. James Gazette.

Counting Entirely by Letter.

He was a nice young man, could not
be else, because you see, he came from
Chicago, which vital fact stamps him
guileless. But he accomplished nine
days wonder in St. Louis. 1t was re-
vealed thus: We were invited out to a
farewell dinner, given to a brand new
bride of few hours existential. She
was to leave our classic shades and
bury herself in the city by the lake.
No one had met the him of the case,
and in the mysterious second-story
region devoted at ''swelP' affairs to the
adjustment of feminine nothings sur
mise and speculation were busy, to
which I listened wonderingly until
called across the hall to the bride, when

dated back two years. "

even so, my dear"
eff this is not an instance of sublime
ecstatic faith. How in the world did
you know but that he was cross-eyed,
knOck-kneed, pigeOn-toed or bound to
some sort of HORROR"
Il knew nothing; L simply trusted
him."
..BlissfuI trust! But, naturally,
since he came from Chicago you are
safe.''
And it actually came to pass in this
wicked and perverse generation, q
young woman, in full possession of her
senses, took q man blindly on trust, on
two days time. She is a very sweet
girl, quiet and dignified, decidedly not
of the sort who would do the thing for
fun, but she sOberly and honestly ac-
cepted the man through the promptings
of some occult power, which she is
| pleased to call love. How it could be

Dim flowers, with snpless leaf and stem,

The damask buds that breathe and glow,
Pink wild roses, down by a brook,
Lavish clusters of airy snow.
Could ono transplant you-(far on high
A murlzy sunset lights the tiles
And set you meath the arching sky,
In the green country, many miles,
Would you strike deep and suck up strength
Washed with rain and hung with pearls,
Cling to the trells, a leafy length,
Sweet with blossom for June and girls?
Yet mol Who needs you in those bowcrs2
Who prizes gifts that all can give2
Bcstow your life instead of flowers.
And slowly die that dreams may live.

Worthy to wreathe the hemlOck bowl,
Or Irvine about the cross of pain!

SaWdHst.

Heavy, clayey lands need something
to tighten them up, and this is one use
at least that sawdust can be put to with
much advantage. There are people
owning small pieces of such land who
live where sawdust may be obtained,
and they will do well to use this me-
chanical agent for opening up close and
tenacious lands. Soils of this kind, it
is well known, require a great deal Of
preparation before they are suited to
growing profitable crops. They need
something to render them loose and
porOus, and something at the same time
which Will not be in the way and hinder
cultivation. This sawdust will do in a
most satisfactory manner, and as it is
light, cheap and easy to handle, it Is
even better for the mere mechanical
amelioratiOn of stiff land than straw,
litter or barnyard scrapings. 1t adds
but little of manurial clements to the
soil, though Of course it possesses some
virtue IN this respect. Its chief value
consists in being such a good opener
and pulverizer of stiff land. Twenty
five wagon-loads to the acre of any clay
ey or tenacious soil, spread over the sur
face and then plowed in viii have
marked effect before the close of the
first season, rendering the ground por-
GUS and free to move before the pillow or
hoe There is much land on which saw
dust may be used with tine effect, San

Clover Bloat.

An Iowa man says he has found the
following neyer-failing cure for clover
bloat: Take large rope or stick (any-
thing to keep the mouth open), insert it
in the mouth. fasten over the horns in
order to hold it in place. In fifteen
minutes the bloat viii have disappeared
by the escape of gas from the open
mouth. A Michigan farmer says that
this peculiar disease, caused by eating
green clover when wet with rain or dew,
may be prevented by placing a quantity
of either hay or straw in the field where
stock may have ready access to the
same, which they will readily resort to,
and which will absorb and neutralize
the dangerous gases so that no, harm
will result. He also states that very
effective remedy for stock suffering from
such cause is a cold-water bath plenti-
fully applied by pouring over the backs,
or where a stream or pool is at hand Of
sufficient depth to reach the animal S
sides, they should be driven in at once,
when the bloat will be Immediately dis
sipated. The farmer with bloatcd cat
tie may take his choice of cures.

We find by observation and expert

ourselves into fever of dissatisfaction
over failure on friends part to con-
form to all our ideas of right and pro-
priety. Or possibly the defect in his
character is so slight as to show itself
in nothing more than a lack of con
geniality of taste; yet we grieve over
it as a sorry fault, sand lament the I'M
loneliness of human character until we

the applicability of our text appears.
" There is q remedy, or there is none"
As evidence in deciding whether there
be remedy in this case or not, we
quote Thomas a Kempis, who saw this
natural tendency of man to fret over
his fellows failings: -" If thou canst
not make thyself such one as thou
wouldst, how canst thou expect to have
another in all things to thy liking?''
