HAMPERS.

Lampass is an Inflammation or swell
ing of the ridges or ''bars" in the roof
Of horses mouth behind the upper
front teeth. 1t generally occurs, says
the veterinary editor of the Rural
Nep Yorker, in young horses while
their teeth or putting up the
tushes. Sometimes, however, it comes
on in older horses owing to indiges-
ton, common cause of which is over
feeding with grain after a run on
grass. The mucous membrane of the
roof of the mouth swells SO that il
projects below the level of the nippers
and is so tender that the animal either
"cuds" its food or refuses to eat any
but what is soft and unirritating.
When this condition is due to den
tition lancing the gums alone will often
cause relief. Sterilization of the af-
fected part with a sharp penknife or
lancet will cause the swelling to sub
side in day or two; but should il
continue obstinate, as it occasionally
will, q stick of lunar caustic should be
rubbed gently over the part daily I'M
til cure is completed. This will sell
dom be necessary, however, and is
recommended only in obstinate cases.
The roof of the mouth is nearly insen-
sible, so that there is no cruelty in the
operation. Ii the lampass is owing to
the cutting of grinder, relief will be
afforded by an incision in the form of
cross in the protruding gum. After
lancing, the mouth should be washed
with a solution of the tincture of
myrrh, two ounces to pint of water,
or solution of alum in water, re-
peated twice day for three or four
days, during which time a kind-hearted
man will feed bran mashes or flax-sced
Cruel and a little new grass when pro-
durable. No hay, corn or oats should
be fed for week or SO. At the end
of that period the teeth should be able
to masticate ordinary food. Often all
that is needed in treating lampass is
sponging the mouth two or three
times a day with weak solution of
alum; or an infusion of witch-hazel or
barberry bark will answer the same
purpose. In no case should the sense
less and brutal practice of burning the
"bars" of the mouth be followed.

WHEN TO PICK FRUITS.

Housewives, as well as growers and
marketmen, says the american Gar
den, often complain that fruits do not
keep in good condition, and various
causes are assigned for this. One OF
the most prevalent and the least I'M
derstood is that of showers or rains
just before picking. The amount of
increase in bulk, size and weight that
rains impart TO fruits is not fully as
certained; yet il is well known fact
that in boiling maple sap for maple
sugar, one hundred and twenty gal
Ions of zap after wet fall and winter
will produce no more sugar than one
hundred gallons after a dry season.
In strawberry culture berries of
great size can be produced by irriga-
ton, though the increase is but drop
steal Recent experiments have shown
that Strawberries picked after heavy
rain shrink ten per cent.
Grapes, also, lose in bulk and weight
under similar circumstances. A BUSH
el of grapes weighs about forty pounds
when picked and packed after rain,
decreasing afterwards from two to
four pounds TO the bushel.
These facts tend TO show that at
least ten per cent, both in bulk and
weight, may be impaired TO fruits by
showers or rains, and will readily ac-
count for berry baskets not being full
after having been packed day or so.
Much of the i'll success in the pre-
serving and keeping of fruits may
also be ascribed to this cause.
To have fruits, which are said to be
"only condensed sunshine" in perfec-
ton, and best condition for long keep
ing, they should be picked in clear
weather, after the dew is of, and be-
fore the heat of the day, and then
stored in cool, dry place where a cur
rent of air passes over them.

COLTS.

Yon cannot beat and swear q colt
into a good horse. This course has
been pursued ever since the first few
colts were foaled, and the universal
verdict is that it is lamentable failure.
Even they who whip the hardest and
swear the loudest will agree to that
verdict. The Arab, as is well known,
brings the horse to the marvellous per-
fiction which characterizes Arabian
horses by the exercise of unvarying
Kindness from the time the colt is
foaled until the horse dies. The fam
lily and the colt occupy the same apart
ment frequently, and the animal is at
all times perfectly familiar with the
voice and touch of those about him.
He fears nothing, for there is nothing
to fear. lie learns from the very be-
ginning that man is his friend and pro-
tector. The idea of master which OBJ
tains among us is never entertained
in Arabia, while in truth the Arabian
is more truly and perfectly the master
of the animal than we are. We are
apparently satisfied with the name,
and with whatever satisfaction comes
from acting the role Of the tyrant,
while the Arab seeks the reality and
does not aspire to be tyrannical.
As soon as we learn the important
lesson which Arabian horsemanship
teaches we shall have more good
horses, and shall be better satisfied
with ourselves. We shall then find the
colt broken at the time we now usually
begin to break it, for from the very
commencement of its existence we
shall begin to accustom it to being
handled, and gradually accustomed to
trappings which will resemble the har-
ness, until when the time comes for
turning the play into reality the work
will have all been done. This should
be the aim Of every horse breeder.
The confidence of the colt should be
early won, and it can be won much
easier in colthood than it can be when
the time has arrived that We now call
the breaking time.
The age at which colt should be
put to work should be when 1t has
substantially obtained its growth, or
rather when it has become perfectly
developed. The most Of our colts are
put to work too young, especially if
they have grown rapidly. 1t may be
said that our colts are usually broken
from one to three years sooner than
they should be.-Fdvmes's Call.

THIN SOWING.


An Ohio correspondent says that
"wheat has improved wonderfully,
and while somewhat thin in places and
occasionally winter-kilIed, the heads
are unusually large and the condition
very favorable for their filling we'll"
The large heads and the probability of
filling well are what | wish 10 call at.
tcntion to, and are the result of thin
stand, always the case where the
ground is good. This teaches us the
lesson of thinner sowing on such
ground, for thick sowing produces
small. tapering heads, having little
grain in them. The stand is usually
close. resulting in thin, weak stalks,
readily lodged by the rain, without
strength to regain their upright posi-
ton, and often rotting on the ground.
The grain in the field which maintains
its stand is less crowded and has
stouter stalk and larger ear. 1t is
well known that the danger to grain
ON rich ground is from lodging. Sow
thinner and this tendency is largely
overcome. The most successful crops
are those that have large heads, and
such heads can never be secured with
a crowded stand that excludes the sun,
sunlight being necessary to grow not
only the ear, but, more important, the
stalk that sustains the ear. A weak,
imperfectly grown stalk cannot grow
a large perfectly developed head and
I'LL Ii with grain. Too much shade of
the stalk has a blasting effect upon the
berry, and the evident remedy is to
introduce sunshine.
last year wheat was unusually thin
in this section Of New York, a large
proportion of the seed not coming on
account of the drouth in the fall before,
butfhe wheat crop, unpromising as it
seemed, never was better, If as good,
yielding on the average about thirty
bushels per acre. This was surprise,
Is The stand though tall and with a
good head, was thin. There was no
lodging Of the grain, although some
land was highly MANFRED, showing
that a thin stand viii do well on rich
soil, not only producing a good stalk
and ear, but multiplying the stalks by
tille6lng, which winter grain when
fayercd will do TO a large extent

Editor Home Journal:
| wish, through the medium of you
paper, to address the citizens of Frank
lin county not that presume to die
tate terms, or shoulder responsibilities
but occupying the place of a servant o.
the people, | wish to know their wants
and desires, so that | may be able tc
perform creditably the business that
would lcgitima:ely come before the
General Assembly of your State through
ny hands as your agent or servant. AS
the newspapers publish regularly the
proceedings of the General Assembly,
you can but be posted as well as myself,
therefore | will not presume to tax your
patience with a detail of the business Of
that body already passed.
1t has been suggested to me by ind-
vidua!s that there is a desire on the
part Of some to have certain laws re-
pealed, or modified, or amended and
that there is also a desire upon the part
of some to have new bills introduced,
and acts passed, some of which are local
in their application, while others are of
general application. Not knowing the
wishes of the people, and not wishing to
become responsible myself, deem it
important and obligatory upon you, as
my constituents, 70 bcstir yourselves
and vigiantly inquire into the wants of
the people, and, through my agency,
apply to the General Assembly to have
your wants supplied, your rights vindi-
Gated, and your wrongs redrcssed.
Doubtless there will be many bills in
troduced, from all parts of the State, as
soon as business is resumed after the ex-
piration of the recess.
1t may be that some of your readers,
who have no other means of acquiring
the proper information, would like to
know why the Legislature was adjourn
ed ut this time. To answer this, | will
state that many of the legislators are
lawyers, and have business in the
courts now in session in the various
parts of the State; therefore, they
wished an adjournment Sumo of the
members (about ten in nmbcr,) were
sick, and of course they preferred being
at home for the time being. Some had
sick families at home, and wished to
visit them. A few, however, were anx-
ious to remain and get through the bus
mess of the asscmbly-among whom
was your humble servant. But as a
general rule minorities must submit to
the ruling of majorities.
