without reservation to the jurisdiction of a

may be used to give full effect TO what the
State has by its act ofsubmission allowed to

the public officers to enforce any Judgment
that may be rendered, then such coercion
may be employed for that purpose. But

Be Ready Early.

A season of activity is near at
hand. Spring is coming, with its
pressing work. Are farmers ready
for sowing and planting? Every i'm
plement should be provided before
hand, that no time may be wasted
in making purchases or repairs after
the work should begin. We have
known halliday of blowing to be
lost because the whiflltrees were not
at hand. Some farmers start out
with their spring plowing without a
single plow point in stock, and when
one is needed, the team is taken from
the field and driven to the store.
Such loss of time is a serious mat
ter, and should be thoughtfully
guarded against by ample provision
of all such articles of the farm. II
is poor time to mend a harrow
when it should be at work in the
field.
We do not favor that economy
if it may be so called-that relies
upon the neighbors for manv of the
tools of the farm. There are certain
farm implements that may be owned
in partnership, as a roller or reaper,
but the constant borrowing of rakes,
forks, etc, is not wise and economi-
cal practice. Be provided with all
these essential farm tools, and have
them in good order, and at hand
when the time arrives for using
them.
Now is the time to look to these
matters, and make all needed prepa-
rations for the busy days that will
soon be here. In the peace of winter
prepare for the war ofspring.-Amar-
ican Agricultarist.

A Few Hints About Horses.
Give horses salt frequently.

Give horses salt frequently.
Road horses should have their
front feet stuffed with fiaxseed twice
q weak.
When light shoes are needed par
ticularly hind ones, have them made
of cast steel.
Don't hook your horse to the
sleigh the same at to Jour wagon, but
give him more trace.
Returning from an afternoon drive,
let your horses cool off before enter
ing the stable.
Horses wearing boots should have
them loosened while under the shed
at the road house.
If your horse should pull on one
line or throw his head up and down
fight and pull on the bit, have his
mouth and teeth examined.
The hand pieces of driving reins
frequently become smooth from use,
causing the hands to shift. In such
cases rub the lines with powdered
rosin.
If you wish TO drive your horse
with an open bride, have him tied
with one before putting him to your
top wagon, otherwise he might get
away from you.
When horses ovsrreach lengthen
the hind shoes when thev hit the
front OF the hind feet have the toe OF
the front shoes made narrow and
concaved on the inside.
Some horses in trotting, in put
ting their hind feet to the ground
strike principally on the toe. Such
horses should have their heels low
cred, and should wear shoes without
heels.
Skunk cabbage is said to be good
for heaves, given in teaspoonful doses
night and morning. Moisten the
hay and grain. Be careful with the
diet. Never work a heavy horse on
full stomach.
Steel bits should be kept in a warm
place until they are placed in the
horses mouth. Any person can
realize the sensation of placing cold
bit in a horses mouth by first touch
ing it with his own tongue.
An excellent remedy for mangeis
Oil of turpentine, one pint add
cautiously two ounces of vitriol, stir
ring the mixture constantly; then
add eight ounces linseed oil, to be
rubbed in with a brush twice a day.
If your double team did not work
to suit you to-day, one crowding to
the pole while the other would pull
his head to one side, see that the
reins are right, and in hooking them
to your wagon tomorrow, put the of
horse on the near side.
Tar is one of the most useful arti.
Gle to be kept about a stable. Inter.
nally use teaspoonfnl night and
morning for chronic coughs exter-
nally it is particularly useful in
thrush and all diseases or wounds Of
the foot. Mixed with fish oil it is
one of the best remedies for hard OF
brittle feet.
When heels and toes are required
on a horses shoes, instead of having
the shoe turned down for heels, have
the heels and toes of cast steel and
welded on. The heels should ne put
on half an inch from end of shoe and
placed endwise.
For a horse tina. pulls" use the
over-check, with strap attached over
the nose and under the lower jaw
For an extra hard-mouthed horse
use four-ringed bit. Have slide
loop on the front of the over-check,
SO that it can be moved up and down,
as may be required. Then have the
check-piece and over-check attached
to loose rings and the driving lines
alone to the large rings.

An Honest Boy.

In country school a large class
were standing to spell. In the lesson
there was a very hard word. Iput
the word to the scholar at the head,
and he missed it /; l passed it to the
next, and the next, and so on thro'
the whole class, till it came to the
last scholar, the smallest of the
class, and he spelled it right, at least
| understood him so, and go be went
to the head, above seventeen boys
and girls, all older than himself. /
then turned round and wrote the
word on the blackboard, so that they
all might see how it was spelled, and
learn it better. But no sooner had
/ written it than the little boy at the
head cried out: "O!I didn't spell it
50, Miss Wilson l said e, instead of
l." And be went back to the foot on
his own accord, quicker than he had
gone to the head. Was not he an
honest boy? / should always have
thought he spelled it right if he had
not told me, but he was too honest
to take any credit that did not be-
long to him.
