Training Vicious Horses.

A very simple method and an improvement
upon the Rarey system of training vicious
horses was, says the Rural Canadian, exhib-
tied at West Philadelphia recently and the
manner in which some of the widest horses
were subdued was astonishing, The first
trial was made on kicking on "balking'n
mare, which her owner said had allowed no
rider on her back for at least five years. She
became tame in about as many minutes, and
allowed herself to be ridden about without
sign Of her former widness. The means bv
which the result was accomplished was
piece Of light rope, which was passed around
the front jaw Of the mare Just above the front
teeth, crossed in her mouth, thence secured
back of her neck. 1t was claimed that no
horse will kick Or jump when thus secured,
and that horse after receiving that treatment
few times will abandon his vicious WAYS
forever A simple method was also shown
by which kicking horse could be shod. It
consisted in connecting the animals head and
tail by means of a rope fastened to the tail
and then to the bit, and then drawn tightly
enough to incline the animals head to one
side. This, it is claimed, makes it absolutely
impossible for a horse to kick on the side of
the rope. At the same exhibition a horse
which for years had to be bound ON the ground
to be shod, suffered the blacksmith to operate
on him without attempting to kick while Sc
cured in the manner described.

Propagation of Carp.

A Washington correspondent recently de-
scribed an interesting sight that was wit
messed by many persons when the water was
drawn from one Of the carp ponds used by the
Fish Commission for propagating purposes.
The pond from which the water was exhaust
ed is in sight of the White House, between
that building and the Potomac river. Togeth-
er with several other ponds it is in charge of
Dr. Rudolph, Superintendent Of Government
Fish Ponds. During the summer some ofthe
ponds were filled with rare aquatic plants,
and visitors who saw none Of the fish were
amply rewarded for visit to DR.. Hassel's
ponds by the shower of luxurient plants and
brilliant flowers The pond emptied covers
two or three acres perhaps five. 1t is shall
low, as the carp do not require great depth of
water. When the water was reduced to a
narrow stream crossing the pond the fish
were scooped out with nets, transferred to
tubs and having been carefully counted were
ready for shipment to such points as Profess
or Spencer F. Barre, the Commissioner of
Fish and Fisheries, had directed In this
first pond emptied it was ascertained that,
by the natural process Of propagation, the in
crease had been 65, 900 in one year, The fish
taken are varied in size from the minute spec
linens half un inch or less in length to those
Of two or three pounds in weight. They were
principally mirror carp, having few scales
along the back, but there were in their COM
pany not a few leather carp and an occasional
hybrid and tench.

Green Food for Swine.

Prof. S, B. Thompson, of the Nebraska
Agricultural College, says that green food
makes thriftier and larger hogs. Farmers
who raise many pigs andfeed them exclusively
on corn, know that some of the shoats will
cease to grow at an early age, begin to lay on
fat, and never reach the size of good, mer-
charitable hogs This tendency to fatten pre-
maturely at the expense of bone growth is not
seen to any great extent in grasS-fed hogs.
A pig fed on bulky green food will de-
yelop larger stomach than one fed on con-
centrated food like corn; and when you come
to tatten It, this enlarged capacity will enable
HIM to eat and digest more corn, and thus
tatten faster than the other, and be a more
profitable hog to grow for market Grass-fed
hogs are healthier than granted
Every intelligent breeder knows the advan-
tageS OF feeding green food to sows about to
tarroW. They have less difficulty with their
pigs, are less liable to destroy them, will Give
more milk andnurse them better. Grass-fed
hogs are less liable to disease The dreaded
hog cholera is not much to be feared where
hogs have the run Of good clover pasture
Undoubtedly, if exposed to contagion ,tbov
would take the disease, but they are not like
~ to develop it, For example, farmer had
ms hogs In small pen, destitute of grass
with no water except a muddy pool, which
soon was made as vile as possible by the hogs
After a while the hogs began to die in consid-
efa6le numbers, with symptoms resembling
cholera, The owner was alarmed, took them
out OF his PEN turned them on a patch of
green Z, rye and gave them water from we'll
Inc disease was checked and the deaths

To develop PAGER requires patience, know
ledge of temperament and careful study OF
motion. It is customary to make the weight
of the hind shoe just one half the weight of
the forward shoe and light toe-Weight work
well on some PAGERS. We know of q natural
PAGER whose trainer first used shoe Of %
ounces. He gradually cut this down to "A
ounces and then put on a three ounce toe
weight and drove him mile in 2:17 The
best way to reduce the weight is to allow the
shoe to become pretty we'll worn, and then
to nail on new shoe of the exact weight of
the old one. AS the wear amounts to from
one to three ounces it is easy to sec that the
weight will be greatly reduced at the end of
several shoeings There is danger, however,
in allowing shoe to stay on much longer
than fortnight. The growth of horn is such
as to unbalanCe the action. See to it that
the toes do not become unduly extended
Also watch the heels Some horses wear a
Six-ounce shoe forward, others an eight, and
others still a ten-Ounce shoe The only way
to determine the weight for horse is by ex-
perimental test. You cannot decide what
boots are necessary until you study the action

horse, It is easy to lay down rules. TO APP
ply them is more difficult, We hope our
correspondent has had some experience with
horses, because man devoid of experience has
no conception of the difficulties to Be sur
mounted by the art Of the trainer.

RAIN ON THE ROOF.
COATES KINNEY

When the humid shadows gather
Over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently Weeps in rainy tears,
What bliss to press the pillow
OF a cottage chamber bed,
And to listen to the patter
OF the soft rain overhead
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has an echo in the heart,
And thousand dreamy fancies,
Into busy being start.
And a thousand recollections,
Weave their air-threads into wool,
As | listen to the patter
Of the rain upon the roof.
Now IN memory comes my mother,
AS she used, long years agone,
20 survey her darling dreamers,
Ere she left them till the dawn,
| can see her leaning DER me,
AS | listen to the refrain
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.
Then my little seraph sister,
With her wings and waving hair,
And her star-eyed cherub brother,
A serene, angelic pair!
Glide around my wakeful pillow,
With their praise or mild reproof,
AS | listen to the murnur
Of the rain upon the roof.
And another comes to thrill me
With her eyes delicious blue;
And | mind not, musing on her,
That her heart was all untrue.
| remember but to love her.
With a passion kin to pain,
AS my hearts quick pulses vibrate
TO the patter of the rain.
Art hath not Of tone or cadence
That can work with such spell,
. In the SOULS mysterious fountains,
Whence these tears of rapture well,
And the melody of Nature,
That sobdued, subduing strain.
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.

LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE ~

Let's oftener talk of noble deeds
And rarer of bad ones,
And sing about our happy DAYS,
And not about the sad ones.
We were not made to fret and sigh
And when grief sleeps to wake it:
Bright happiness is standing by
This life is what we make it.
Let's find the sunny side of men.
Or be believers in it,
A light there is in every soul,
That takes the pains to find it;
oh! there's slumbering good in all
And We perchance may wake it;
Our hands contain the magic wand
This life is what we make it.
Then here S to those whose loving heart
Shed light and joy about them;
Thanks be to them for countless gems
We nee had known without them;
Oh! this should be a happy world
TO all who may partake it;
The faults our own if it is not
This life is what we make it.
