Nice Notions About Stables.

If more attention was paid to the
care of the horse, the farmers most
useful servant, fewer blind, lame and
diseased animals would be seen. The
following points are from Whip and
Spur:
Let your stable be well drained and
sufficiently lighted. The vapors from
damp, putrid floor, and the sudden
change from darkness to light, will al.
most to certainty cause blindness.
Let the floor of the stall be quite fiat
and level. Standing on sloping place
is very painful and causes lameness by
straining the ligaments and membranes.
1t also produces grease and sore heels.
Every stall should be at least six feet
wide and nine feet long. This will en-
able the horse to turn round without
bruising himself, and to-lie down and
stretch himself with comfort. Let the
stalls be separated by partitions. not by
bars. They prevent the horses from
fighting and kicking each other. Let
proper openings be made Just under the
ceiling, to permit the hot, foul air to
escape and proper openings at the bot
tom of the wall to admit fresh air. I'm.
pure and confined air will cause broken
wind. The fresh air should enter
through number of small holes rather
than large hole. such as an open win
dow. That prevents draughts, which
cause chills and coughs. The tempera-
ture of 3 stable should be that of a sit.
ting-room or parlor; not over seventy
degrees in summer, nor under forty
five in winter. Hot, close or foul sta
bles will bring on CHAMBERS or intiam-
nation, while very cold or damp one.
may cause an incurable cough or dis
ease of the lungs. Do not keep the hay
over the manger. The steam and
breath of the animal make it both I'M
pleasant and unwholesome. If the hay
must be kept over the horse, the ceiling
between should be of plaster. This will
in some measure prevent vapors from
passing up to the food. Have no open
ing into the manger from the hayloft
Dust is very often thrown into horses
eyes when fed in this way, and thus
blindness is begun. The breath ascends |
directly to the food through the open
ing. which at the same time pours q |
continual draught down on the horses
head, thus causing chills as well as bad
food.

The Profit OF Farming.

There are different WAYS of looking
at the profitableness of farming, and
the prospect is rosy or gloomy accord
ing to the standpoint from which it Is
viewed. If you want about the most
iugubrious opinion of this business that
can be expressed, come this way and
we will show you where to find it. We
will go to some place where the fences
are, lying in tumble-down ruin, the
gates hanging by one hinge, the barn a
lopsided, leaning pile; the barnyard a
reeking swamp; the house leaking,
dismal wreck; its windows stuffed with
old coats and hats-everything devoid
of paint or finish, and nothing in its
proper place or in decent condition. If
you can fight your way through the
ours around the door to the proprietor,
ask him, while he ewes sou with strong
suspicion, whether farming paws. If
he is not afraid that his answer will
give you some opportunity of cheating
him, he will tell you that farming is
the worst business in the world. Then,
when you have wariiy backed out from
among his dogs, We'll make another
visit. Let us try farm-where fences,
buildings and Improvements are all
substantial, neat and first-class; where
paint, window glasses, ETC., are abun-
dant: where everything gives evidence
of thrift and industry. As the pro-
prietor turns from some employment to
greet You frankly and heartily, ask him
whether farming pays. His answer is
in his surroundings. Such contrasts
are by no means fanciful. and we have
seen them quite sharply defined on
farms in the same neighborhood posses
sing naturally equal advantages. 1t is
a pleasure to know that squalor is be-
ing rapidly and steadily driven from
progressive modern agriculture, and
that pictures of the kind first viewed
are becoming more rare from year to
year. The farm is, as a rule, an index
TO the character of the farmer, as well
as an exponent of his industry and his
methods. Other things being equal,
much of the success or failure of agri-
culture lies in the directing mind. If
this be vigorous, thoughtful. studious,
earnest, results may be depended on to
take care of themselves. The bulk OF
the American people are living by
farming, and the growth of the coun-
try's wealth is sufficient proof that il
pays.-Ptttsburgh Statesman.

Precautions against the Cholera.

Now, as always when the question
arises as to the measures to be taken
against an anticipated epidemic, the
newspapers are dwelling on the mat
ter of the filthy condition of the streets,
and in this country and Great Britain
the most prominent topic of inquiry in
connection with the possible access OF
cholera is as to what sanitary condition
various places would be found to be in
should the disease visit them. 1t is all
very well to attend to cleanliness, not
only when an epidemic threatens, but
at all times. But it is sheer folly to
bring that consideration into the fore
ground as being of the slightest avail
under such circumstances as an inn
pending invasion of cholera. Cholera
undoubtedly runs riot in filth, but, I'M
fortunately, it shows the same luxuriance
in the cleanest of towns. The road to
safety lies not in giving the disease a
chilling reception on its arrival, but in
not allowing it to arrive.
The deplorable feature in the tenden-
cy alluded to is the fact that it leads to
neglect of the only measures that are of
any real use. 1t even leads to deprecia-
ton of the value of quarantine measures.
Public opinion. the utmost support of
which is always needed in matters of
sanitation, is thus lulled into Indifference
to the necessary restrictions on com
merce, and fails to oppose the obstruc-
tiveness of trade. AS the Nation lately
remarked, quarantine may never yet
have stopped the march of cholera.
There is good reason to think, however,
that it has. At all events, an extension
of the quarantine idea is all we can de-
pend upon to keep the disease at bay.
1t is, therefore, exceedingly satisfactory
and reassuring to learn that our Gov
eminent, at the suggestion of the Sur
geon-General of the Marine Hospital
Service, has telegraphed instructions to
our Consuls at British ports to take
measures for the sanitary inspection of
vessels bound for this country. Over
and over again have epidemics stolen a
march on those who were busy in pooh
pooling the possibility of their arrival.
While, then, as has before been stated
IN this journal, there is no present occa-
sion for alarm, there is every occasion
for vigilance.-N. Y. Medical Journal.

FARM AND PRESIDE.

IA correspondent of the Indiana
Farmer recommends the squash as q
cheap green food for stock in winter.
Glover is so easily injured by
smothering that even the rakings should
be carefully removed where a second
crop is expected.
"A correspondent of the Rural Ne,o
Yorker says a neighbor of his had his
orchard defoliated by the canker worm
1t bore no fruit that year, which was
The bearing year, but the following sea-
son it produced large crop, and the
bearing year was permanently changed.
Cattle and sheep should always
have plenty of shade in the pasture.
They like when they have eaten enough
to lie down IN the cool shade and take
their comfort, and if they can do so
they will thrive much better. A few
shade trees for this purpose will pay for
any drain they may make upon the
fertility of the soil.
e. III. Libby, writing to the New
York Tribune, states that from his in
vestigations he has been convinced that

Southern States, as the large-eared
varieties can only be cultivated sue.
fully south of latitude 10. Each section,
in his opinion, should produce its own
seed.
In setting plants, make the ground
mellow and rich with manure for a con-
siderable space around where the roots
are placed, so they may have chance
to reach out. The roots should have
ample room: do not cramp them. When
the earth is well drawn up around the
plant place your feet carefully upon
each side of it, and s'firm" the earth
down solidly. This will greatly increase
the chance of its living, as it prevents
the soil from drying down to the roots.
