Use!essness Of Binders on Horses.

''Blinders, SAYS a writer in Our
Dumb Aninldts, originated in the pride
of persons who imagined their horses
presented finer appearance when pro-
vided with these senseless appendages.
Custom and ignorance combined in per-
petuating their use, so that to -daytprob-
ably nineteen-twentieths of our horses
are disfgured by these worse than use
less cOntrivances, including multitudes
of mi cradle, broken-down animals en-
ployed in the severer grades of labor,
and which could not, from sheer wear;-
ness and lifelcssness, be induced to shy,
or run away, by anything short of a
bomb bursting in their immediate vi
entity.
1.-The unsoundness of that logic which
insists horses are less frightened by OBJ
view by binders, but which they can
hear (such, for instance, as locomo-
tiyes), than when they can see just
what the object is, is proven wholly
false by the experience of all who have
dispensed with binders on their ami
mails. 1t is the. unseen object which
most terriiies horse. The animal who
will become unmanageable when made
to face away from an approaching train,
will quietly stand its ground if allowed
to face the object l know this from
personal experience with many restless
horses.
"Blinders do not prevent horses from
observing each object in front, and
upon each side of them, as they ap-
approach it while travelling upon the
road, and hence binders can only
serve to prevent their seeing objects
cvertaking them from behind, which is
an end never to be desired. have. fire.
quently seen horses shy so violently as
to nearly overturn the vehicle on being
passed from the rear by noiselessly-
gliding bicycle. which fright would
have been avoided had the animal been
unbiindered, and thus aware of the an
proach OF the machine.
CYLINDERS also much diminish the
beauty OF horse, the eve being one of
its finest features. But the greatest OBJ
lection of all is the cruelty (and in
jury, as well) resulting from their use.
The vast majority of binders are made
nearly HAT, SO that they commonly
press directly against the eye-lashes and
feyes OF the horse, which causes pain to
the animal, besides frequently destroy
ing its sight
II strongly and earnestly wish there
could be legislation to compel all horse
owners who insist upon using binders.
to use only heavily convexed ones.
which shall not press in the present
cruel manner against the eye-lashes and
eyes"

Green Manuring.

The abuse of thing is no good arpu-
ment against its use. When n farmer
complains that a wheat crop, following
heavy growth of corn and Hungarian
grass recently plowed under in "a heavy
clay soil was injured, it was the farm
err IN stake and not the green manur-
ing which was to blame. Wheat re-
quires thoroughly rotted manures in
which the organic matter has become
miueralized. or so nearly so as to quick
" dissolve in the soil. Fresh raw ma
nures or matter Of any kind are wholly
unsuitable 10 this crop. A clover sod
plowed in early makes an exc Hen;
pre- aration for wheat, but it must lave
time to decay, which it does very rap
idly. Such gross food as corn and Hun
garian gsass plowed under without time
for it TO decay, and which from its
grossness, bulk and siliceous charact +
can not decay without considerable
tim, is not suitable for wheat in any
soil; and in heavy clay soil decay goes
on very much mole slowly than in more
porous, lighter soils, in which oxidation
goes on with or at rapiditv.
In agricultural operations we have
certain principles, it is true, but not
one OF these can be safely made use Of
without the most careful judgment to
adapt them to ever-varying conditions
1t will not do 10 apply any principle. of
whatever Kind it may be- indiscr M
inately The greatest mistakes are
made by this careless application of
leading principles of agriculture Thus,
1eep blowing. draining, surface manur-
ing, artificial fertilizing, the use of
lime, and green maDuring are all ex-
cellent under certain conditions. but
under certain circumstances are iniuri-
Gus and may be Iuinous. A thin soil
may be ruined by deep blowing, while
a deep, rich soil is benefited by il.
especially if it be a heavy clay and has
been well MANFRED as far down as
1T Is plOwed. An open subsoil needs
al the water it can be made TO hold,
and If this. is removed by dra ming
the money spent is not only loss, but
a serious mischief. When we spread
manure on frozen, sloping ground we
merely throw it away and the labor
spent rs well. When artificial fertilz-
erS are p.owed in we bury them below
the reach of the roots, and put them
where they are quickly dissolved and
washed into the subsoil. Lime used to
excess actually reduces the SOL to the
utmost poverty, and. as the old saw de-
.clares, impoverishes the sons whose
fathers are so unwise as to do it. And
in green manuring it is quite easy to
do more harm than good, as is indicat-
eel by the complaint of the farmer
above ment oned, who plowed under a
green crop for the very worst purpose
TO which it can be applied. Green
crops, more especially those of bulky,
succulent nature, as corn or buckwheat,
should always be followed by a dress
ing of lime and sufficient interval of
time for its decay. a grass or clover
sod is excellent for corn or oats or fax.

Hunting Fish with Dogs.

Captain Mayne Reid i'm his last story,

canoes have arrived at the entrance to
the inlet. and are forming n line across
1t at equal distances from one another,

thai may attempt to pass outward. just
such IS their design; the fish being what
they purpose enhlading.
Soon the fish-hunters, having COM
pleted their Gordon and dropped the
dogs overheard. come on up the cove,
the women plying the pad lies, the men
with javelns appraised. ready for dart

of and betWe n the canoes, driving the
fish below them as Sheep-dogs drive
sheep one or another diving under at
intervals, to intercept such as attempt
to escape outward. For IL the translu-
cent water they can see the fish far
ahead, and, trained TO the work, they
keep guard against n break from these
through the inclosing line. Soon the
fish arc forced up to the inner end of
the cove. where it is shoalest: and then
the work of slaughter commences. TIE

Col. Ochiltree,s Romance.

Representative Tom Ochiltree is at
.ast to marry fortune. The Roaring
Red-Headed Ranger of the Rio Grande,
whose bonhomie makes every body his
friend, is soon. it Is said, to marry Miss
Eva Mackay, the adopted daughter of
John w. .Mackay, the Pacific coast
millionaire. Among his friends Mr..
Ochiltree makes no concealment of the
Tact of his approaching marriage Miss
Mackay. as is well known, has resided
with her mother in Paris for four or five
years. During that time all kinds of
royal grandees have paid court TO her
and her share of her fathers S75,000,-
900; but in each and every case she has
plainly indicated that she did not want
them, and they quietly picked up their
hats and left.
A gentleman, who claims to know all
about 1t. says the Texas representative
met John w. Mackay several years
since, when a conversation sprang up
about marriage. Mackay remarked in
a familiar way, slapping the genial Tom
on the back, Tom, you are getting old
enough now, why don't you get mar.
! Tom replied. al can't find a lady
who will have me-"
There was more talk. and Ochiltree
put in: by the way, Mackay, YOU
have little girl over in Paris. / Mould
like to marry her"
well. !" said Mackay. " YOU have my
consent, and if you get hor's it will be
all right" Mr.. Ochiltree spent over
SIX weeks at the Mackay palacein Paris
last summer. He wooed and won her.
The only difficulty in the Interesting
story is that Ochiltree is himself the ai-
thor of it. The ordinary public look
upon him as the prince of American
lruth-wrestlers. At the same time, his
many friends would be exceedingly
pleased to know that Miss Mackay got
such sensible husband, and that Tom
himself got such rich wife, Washing
