Knowledge Of the history of horses
and the special characteristics of their
varieties is the first requisite to sue
ccssful breeding. The rearing is an
equally important element Of success.
The rearing of colt builds up a sound,
vigorous frame upon an Inherited
healthy constitution develops good,
docile and fearless disposition, and
completes the form and adapts it TO
our special requirements. In short,
the breeding gives US the animal the
raw material as il were, of which, by
rearing and training through several
generations, we may make just such
horses as we desire or which may be
found the most profitable for disposal.
And TO succeed in reaching the ends
that are to be aimed at and to insure
success, the young and rising farmer
should study the horse, first as a mere
animal, and last as a production of art

Mr.. Asa s. Curtis, of StratfOrd,
Conn, has tried an experiment in ap.
pie growing, the results Of which will
be of interest to all those who raise
apples for their own use or the mar.
ket Having an orchard which pro.
duced fruit only on every other year
and hearing that the trees could be
made 10 change their bearing season
so that every year might be fruitful
he selected healthy young apple tree
eight years ago, aud for four success.
i've bearing seasons carefully rubbed
off every bud as fast as IL appeared.
For the first three seasons this made
no apparent difference, the tree omit.
ting all blossoms the next season, but
putting out its blooms again on the
regular year. Last year Mr.. Curtis
repeated the experiment for the fourth
time, and this season the tree appears
TO have given up its old habit, and 10
have concluded TO let its owner have
his own way, for it is in full bloom at
last in the "off season." If part of
the trees of an orchard can thus be
made to bear one year and the others
the next, there need be no "of year,
at all for the apple crop, so far as the
bearing habits Of the trees are con-
ccrncd, and this fact is worth the at
ton of apple raisers. - Chicago Times.

A correspondent of the Garde,

A correspondent of the Garden
writes as follows:
"The best and safest insecticide
have ever met with is nicotine soap,
which, from containing the active
properties of tobacco with other in.
gradients, is fatal to insects, and has a
marvelously cleansing effect on the
bark of trees, which it frees from all
parasites in very short time. For
using on the stems of vines and peach
trees it is quite unrivalled, as with n
brush and slight scrub, followed di-
rectly after by dash of water from
the syringe, it leaves them bright and
polished, free from oil Shiny deposits
and other confcrva. At one time
peach trees and vines used to be
daubcd with coat of liquid clay and
other mixtures to smother scale; but
with nicotine soap there is no need of
this, aud any one who is troubled with
that insect, or red spider, or "Trip, has
only to apply the wash to be rid of
the pest. II on the young shoots of
peaches, the best way is to syringe it
at q strength of four ounces to the
gallon Of water, and at temperature
Of 90 or 100 degrees, and Immediately
Steward the stems OF the trees should
be scrubbed and the whole rinsed of
at once"

sReom CORN.


A Georgia grower furnishes the
New York World the following ON the
mode of planting and harvesting
broom corn: if ....... - r...
an the cultivation of broom corn
the ground should be thoroughly bro
ken with two-horse turning plow in
the fall season, so rs to secure all the
benefits of the winter frosts, and left
in that state until The month Of April,
when il should be again plowcd and
thoroughly pulverized. As soon as
the danger of frost is over the land can
be laid of throws two or two and a
half feet apart, according TO the land,
with a scooter pillow, thus giving the
land another working and making it
in good condition to receive the seed,
which can be sown with common
seed drill at the rate of about three
piDts to the acre.
"NOw as to the cultivation which is
necessary: the more work it receives
the sooner il will be off the ground
and ready for market. When the
plants reach The height of four or five
inches il should have good blowing,
and Immediately after the hoes should
be put in TO chop il out, leaving some
two or three inches for hill undis-
turbed. In Two or three weeks il
should again receive good, close
blowing and final hoeing, when the
hills left at the first hOeing should be
cleaned out to one or two at the most,
choosing the most vigorous, of course,
which would leave the stalks about
every eight inches. At the last plow-
ing, which should be two or three
weeks later, according TO the judg-
ment of the farmer, the dirt should be
thrown well up to the plant. A three
hoed cultivator has been found very
serviceable by the writer in taking
care of the crop.
"The next thing 10 be considered is
the mode of saving or harvesting the
crop, and any carelessness or misman-
agemcnt at this point is very liable TO
take away all the profits of the fore
going cultivation. The first point
with the manufacturer is color. II
matters not how good growth the
crop may be, If il is red from too long
standing in the field or dark from
mould and wet its value is damaged.
II should be saved while green, and
cured with view of preserving it in
that color. just as soon as the milk
in the seed thickcns and becomes
doughy and starchy, cut it, leaving six
inches of the stalk with the brush. II
should be gathered and thrcshed the
same day as cut, as the weight of the
seed will soon cause it TO heat and
stain the brush if allowed TO Tic in
piles any length of time. II should
then he placed on racks or scaflolds,
not over four inches thick in the Law
ers, with space six or eight inches
between layers, in an open shed or
shelter, care being taken to keep it
dry. II should. be shaken up in the
layers once or twice in two or three
days, according 10 the weather, so as
to insure free passage of air. In
two weeks of fair weather il is ready
10 be baled and sent to Market"

NUMBER Oh HoRsKs IN EUROPE.

Ii is curious TO observe how the
military and political prepondcrance
Of the different nations seem 10 he
measured by The number of horses
how the weakest European nation, but
once the most powerful, has but half a
million horses, when in its prime It's
horses were renowned for number
and excellence. But il is equally sig
niticant that in respect TO this poverty
of horses this country also exhibits an
instance of what has been pointed out,
namely, that railroads and horses have
a most remarkable relationship, and
that as the former are more largely
developed, the latter increase in an
ever advancing ratio. But as Europe
increases in prosperity horses are re-
CURED, and il is TO this country that
the supply is looked for. Already a
very large number of horses are ex-
ported from here to Europe, and this
demand cannot fail to increase. So
that we may look not only TO our own
home demand, bat TO the foreign coun-
tries for our markets, which will be as
permanent as our better facilities for
producing the needed supply remains.
Perhaps enough has been said to re-
move anv doubt lest a farmer may
rear a few more colts than he could
find sale Cor. liza doubt should still
linger the doubter might become sat
isfied by visiting city market In pur-
suit Of desirable wOrk-horse. He
would fi6d the prices quoted TO be
from t225 TO $500, and only inferior
animals offered at less than these rates I;
while carriage horses and matched
roadsters bring easily $500 to $500
each for the former and 81 900 to
81 800 for good pairs of the latter.
But breeding horses is skilled art.
The choice Of parents requires knowl-
edge and experience. One will be very
apt 10 60 astray unless he knows by
experience, aided by native tact and
judgment, what the produce of q union
between any two animals will prob
ably be. "The best men make mis-.
takes !" and this Is true In breeding
horses. The most successful efforts in
breeding horses in our past history
have been made In the South, and to-
day the Southern horses are far SUPER
Tor 10 those Of the North In form and
character. No doubt this has been
due 10 the prevailing use Of the saddle
In the Southern States, ~ well as 10
the importation Of many highly bred
horses, and . sort of Instructive choice
Of good mares for breeding. NORTH
err fArmers have not shown this tact
or god Judgment 20 generally, and n
