Horses Tails.

A little skill and training on the part
of the driver, will prevent annoyance
and danger from the horse getting his
tail over the reins; and every horse
should be especially broken to feel the
rein beneath his tail, and to bear the
pull necessary TO remove II, without any
exhibition of nervousness. So sensitive
is the tail, that if horse has not been
accustomed TO feeling a rein under it,
when it occurs for the first time, he may,
if spirited prove fractions, and even
mmanageable. As it is an occurrence
likely to happen at any time, every horse
should be broken to it; that is, not only
not to mind it, but not to turn his head,
when he feels the pull upon one rein,
which is intended to disengage It. In
general, this is easily accomplished, and
as tins is the only Inconvenience to the
driver arising from long tails, we are
particular in showing how both the
annoyance and trouble from it may be
avoided. The annoyance which some
times comes from mud or grit being
splashed upon the tail, and then being
hirted about by its switching, is avoided
hy tying the switch up In muddy
weather. r.--lm. AgricWltVrist.

When In the Wrong Channel

The bile wrcaks grevious injury. Head
aches, constipation, pain in the liver
and stomach, jaundice, nausea ensue.
A few doses of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters will reform these evils and pre-
vent further injury. 1t is a pleasant
aperient, its action upon the bowels be-
ing unaccompanied by gripping. The
liver is both regulated and stimulated
by it, and as it is very impolitic to dis
regard disorder of that organ, which
through neglect may eliminate in
dangerous congestion and hepatic alb
scess, the Bitters should be resorted to
at an early stage. Failure to do this
renders contest with the malady more
protracted. Fever and ague, rheuma-
tism, kidney and bladder troubles, are
remedied by this fine medicine, and the
increasing inflrmaties of age mitigated
by it 1t may be also used in GONZALES
cence with advantage, as it hastens the
restoration of vigor.

The Worlds Champi

Mr. Edward Hanlaff, the great oars
man, and until his recent contest with
Beach in Australia, the champion of
the world, may certainly be looked upon
as an authority in everything affecting
athletic sports. Before leaving Australia
for this country, he wrote letter in
which he stated that he had used ST..
Jacobs Oil with the most beneficial
results. He found it reliable remedy
for muscular pains in the arms and
limbs, and from his personal experience
took great pleasure in recommending it..
No stronger proof Of the truth of what
is claimed for st. Jacobs Oil could be
furnished than this, and it will undoubt-
edly carry great weight with all thought
full and intelligent people.

FARMERS COLUMN.
Pickled and Smoked Meats.

As rule, we keep our meats.too long
in the brine, and too long in the smoke
house. This is true especially of ham
and side-bacon for family use. When
meats are intended to keep all summer,
they must of course be penetrated by
salt, and well smoked; but for winter
and early spring use it is far better to-
salt lightly, and smoke very little The
English farmers have the art of doing
this great deal better than we. In
many cases the bacon is only two days
in the pickle, then dried for several days,
and finally smoked twemy.four to thirty
six hours--enough to brown the surface
well. Such bacon is adapted to frying,
not to boiling For boiling, longer
sailing is necessary, and as a rule, dry
salted hams are preferred. They are
easily over-salted however, and 1t re-
quires an experienced hand to do the
work we'll The famous Irish bacon
is cured by rubbing in salt, or laying it
a short time in pickle, and not smoked
at all, but simply dried in cool weather
in dry atmosphere. Sometimes it is
smoked for few hours, just to give it
fine color. When cooked, it is sliced
thin and fried and is crisp and delicious
beyond anythg we commonly get. Great
quantities of choice hams are shipped
from this country TO Great Britain, and
as we learn, are thus handled. They
are shipped in just as weak brine as
experience has shown will keep them
from tainting on the voyage. On arrival,
the casks are opened, and thrown to
soak in a great vat. When the salt is
sufficiently drawn from the surface, they
are taken out and beaten up into their
original plump form, then the trimmers
take off shaving all around on the
flesh side; they are exposed day in the
smoke house, just to give them golden
russet tint, and they arc then exposed
for sale. We will warrant that slices of
such hams, well broiled, or even fried,
will in every quality, beat the native
American home-cured article, out and
out.-Am. AgricultWiSt.

Stripping the Leaves of Nursery Trees.


When the growth of dcciduous trees
is completed, and the wood thoroughly
ripened, there is no further use for the
leaves, and they are dropped more or
less rapidly, as the case may be. The
currant and the plum ripcn their leaves
early, and often shed them in August,
while the leaves of the peach are very
persistent, and do not drop until after
hard frosts. The leaves of some species
of oaks, remain on the tree ali winter,
or until pushed off by the new growth
in spring. Frost hastens the dropping
of all leaves, and an early frost is a great
assistant to the nurserYman, who often
pays large sums for stripping his salable
trees in the fall. Boys, and sometimes
women, are employed to go through the
rows, and strip the limbs, by 4 rapid
movement of the hand, from tip to base.
If the leaves are ripe, they drop almost
with the touch. The strippers are paid
sometimes by the day, and sometimes
by the hundred or thousand. The most
unpleasant stripping is that of goose
berry bushes, and is performed with
leather gloves. Sometimes the bushes
are buried for few days in moist cellar
sand, when the leaves blacken and drop
of. All this increases the expense of
trees in the fall, and in the
case of peach trees, many perfer not to
sell until spring, or until very late in
the fall, unless good price can be OBJ
tanned. The removal of the leaves
before the ripening of the wood, causes
the shoots to shriyel and die, and though
the entire tree may not be lost, its
vitality is apt to be injured. Large
of nursery stock have been lost
in this way, the cause not being sus-
pected, and the damage laid to improper
packing, or to drying up while in
transit, during very hot weather r-Am.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The carat is an imaginary weight
by which diamonds are rated, and also
a term for expressing the purity and
fineness of gold. The alloy is supposed
to be divided into twenty-four parts,
called carats, and its fineness IS denoted
by the number OF carats IN the alloy
that are pure gold. With jewellers it is
usually considered as four imaginary
grains, Of which 41-16 counterbalance
y grains troy.

The Reason WHY.

My son, there's nothing on earth so
mysteriously funny as newspaper
advertisement. The prime, first, last
and all the time object of an advertise
ment is to draw custom. 1t is not, was
not, and never will be designed for any
other purpose. So the merchant waits
till the busy season comes and his store
is so full of custom he can't get his hat
off, and then he rushes to the newspapers
and puts in his advertisement. When
ire DUH season Beus aIonB ana Unere
no trade, and he wants to sell goods so
bad he can't pay his rent, he takes out
his advertisement. That is, some of
them do, but occasionally level-headed
merchant puts in a bigger one and
scoops all the business, while his neigh
bors are making mortgages to pay the
gas bill. There are times when you
couldn't stop people from buying every
thing in the store if you planted can
non behind the door, and that's the time
the advertisement is sent out on its holy
mission. It makes light work for the
advertisement, for chalk sign on the
sidewalk could do all that was needed
and have half holiday six days in the
week, but who wants to favor an adver
tisement. They are built to do hard
work, and should be sent out in the dull
days when a customer has to be knocked
down with hard facts, and kicked insen-
sihle with bankrupt reductions, and
dragged in with irresistible slaughter of
prices, before he will spend cent.
That's the aim and end of an advertise
ment, my son, and if you ever open a
store don't try to get them to come when
they are already sticking out of the win
dows, but give them your advertisement
right between the eyes in the dull season,
and you will wax rich and own a fast
horse, and perhaps be able to smoke a
good cigar once or twice year. Write
this down where you'll fall over it every
day. The time to draw business is when
YOU want business, and not when you
have more business than you can attend
to already,-Bridgeport Post.

Moved Sixty Feet.

The recent Spanish earthquakes have
not been without some of those accom-
paniments which almost invariably at
tend earthquakes of any severity.
Serious landslips are often the sequel OF
such shocks; streams disappear, springs
cease flowing, rivers are dried up,
and their course is so obstrncted that
they form lakes. One village in Gran
ada has been moved bodily same sixty
feet in a northward direction, a deep
semi-circular crevasse, appearing on its
former site. The couIse of the little
river near which the village stood has
been blocked up and a lake is being
formed. Many of the sulphur springs
with which the region abounds suddenly
ceased flowing, but reappeared day or
two after in state of unusual heat, in
dicative, no doubt, of the character OF

THE yENOMOUs SPIDERS.
Variety of the LycOsa may have strnyed
10 Bay Ridge and Caused Death by Its
Bite,

A recent paragraph, announced the
very serious illness of a child at Bay
Ridge, Long Island, from a spider bite,
has attracted the attention of entomolo-
gists very generally. A prominent
naturalist upon being asked if an ordi-
nary spider was venomous replied:
"AIl spiders secrete more or less
active poison, which they make use
of for the purpose of killing their en-
shared prey. The virulence of this
poison seems to vary largely, or per-
haps the amount of the secretion and
the depth to which it can be injected
make the difference, but, at any rate,
there are some spiders, such as the
Lycosa, or wolf spiders, and the terrible
mygale spiders of the tropics, which kill
with ease large insects and small birds,
and occasionally produce very disastrous
effects on human beings. Of these
Lycosa the King, is the savage tarantula
of southern Europe, and the south
western shores of the Gulf of Mexico.
1t is hideous insect which, like all his
Lycosa relatives, constructs no web,
sets no snare, makes his dwelling in
hole in the ground, which he lines with
silk, and provides with a neatly adjust
ed hinged lid, and stalks his victims,
like the rapacious beast of prey which
he is.
zone variety ofLycosa lives in Mass
achusetts, and, although inferior in size
and capacity for mischief to his tropical
congener, has all of the family ferocity,
and might, under favorable circum-
stances, infiict serious damage on a
child or weak person. it may be that
one of these insects caused the death of
the child at Bay Ridge. Another hy-
pothesis offers itself. That is, that one
of the tropical wolf spiders, or mygale,
may have reached New York in one of
the vessels which bring tropical fruits,
and have been warmed into a biting
condition by the simulated tropic of
furnace heated house.
