TANNING A VICIOUS HORSE. "A beau
tiful and high-spirited horse would new
er allow shoe to be put on his feet, or
any person to handle them without a re-
sort to every species of power and means
to hold him, says the Commercial Ad-
UertiSer. At one time be was nearly

age him with the assistance OF as many
men as could approach. In an attempt
to shoe the horse recently, he resisted
all efforts. kicked against every thing.
even an anvil, and came near killing
himself against that, aud was finally
taken back unshOd This was his only
defect in all other respects he was gen
tie and docile, and especially in harness.
But this defect was on the eve of con-
signing him to the plow, where he
might work barefOoted, when by mere
accident an officer in our service. lately
returned from Mexico, who was passing.

ficulty, applied a complete remedy by
the following simple process He took
a cord about the size of a common bed
cord, put it in the mouth of the horse
like bit, and tied tightly on the ami
mails head, passing his left ear under
the string, but enough to keep the ear
down and the cord in its place. This
done he patted the horse gently on the
side Of the head and commanded him to
follow, and instantly the horse obeyed
perfectly subdued and as obedient as A
trained dog suffering his feet to be
lifted with impunity and acting in all
respects like d stager. That simple
string thus tied made him as dOcile and
obedieHt as any one could desire. The
gentleman who thus furnished this ex-
ceedingly simple means of subduing =
dangerous propensity, intimated that
this was practlced in Mexico and South
America in the management of wild
horses. Be this as it may, he deserves
the thanks of all owners of such horses,
and especially the thanks of those whose
business it may be to shoe OF groom the
animal

ORANGES.

The orange tree is one of the most
beautiful and interesting of all vege1a-
BILE growths Its botanical name Is cI-
Lrus, said to be derived from the town
of CitTon. in Judea. 1t belongs to the
genus Of plants known as The natural
orders of ourantiacB, or golden IiulI
bearers, > and thus 1t requires no great
stretch of imagination 10 conclude VhaV
the golden apples'' of the Garden oil
Hesperide5 were oranges. The genus
citrus contains a large number OF spe-
cies and varieties, the fruits oelnS
known under snch names as orange,
lemon. lime, shaddOck, pompelmoore'
forbidden fruit, kumquat and cltron.
Risso, the eminent naturalist OF Nice
claims that there are no fewer than IoS
varieties. These he divides into elghs
species. viz: sweet oranges, bitter oran-
ges, begomott lines, pampelunos, sweet
lines, lemons and citrons. 1t IS said
that the sweet orange was brought into
Europe by the Portuguese in 1541, ard
that the tree whence all the European
orange trees of this class have been pro-
duced is, or at least was a few years ago,
preserved at Lisbon in one of the gar
dens of the nobility In various parts
of Europe trees aTe~still in existence
from $50 to 200 years old, and each year
they produce more fruit and better quail
ity In some parts of Spain single
tree frequently bears from 5000 TO 4,UOO
oranges, and instances have been known
OF as many as 10000 having been pro-
duced. The most interesting feature in
the natural history o. the orange tree is
that it bears at one time what may be
called three crops il different stages
the blossom the immature fruit, and the
ripe orange. The foreign supply comes
from St. Michael, of the Azores Islands ;
Terceira and Fayal, of the same group ;
Valencia, Lisbon, Villa Real, Ariero,
Oporto, Palermo, Malta, and other
Spanish and Mediterranean ports. The
oranges are shipped in boxes, each con-
tanning anywhere from 200 to 500 oran-
ges, according To the size of the fruit.
St. Michaels are packed in dried leaves
of Indian corn, but all other oranges in
paper The blood oranges" as they
are called, come mostly from Valencia
from which place more oranges are In
ported than all other ports togetber)
and also from Malta From the latter
place we also get the egg-shaped fruit.
Seville oranges haIl from place Of that
name, and are used exclusively for
making marmalade and orange wine
although the Palermo bitters " are
really better adapted for both purposes.

Very fat cows give poor milk.
In breeding avoid close relationships.
Clean up and store away empty hon

For making good butter cleanliness

Ordinary fowls cannot be proftably

With wheat very cheap and eggs at
good prices, better encourage laying by

How TO BURN COAL.-A very COM
mon mistake is made, says the Letcis'
Rural, aud much fuel is wasted in the
manner of rep'enishing coal fires, both
in furnaces and CRATES. They should be
fed little at a time and often but ser
wants, to save time and trouble, put on
a great deal at once, the first result be-
ing that almost ali the heat is absorbed
by the newly put on coal. which does not
give out heat uutil j. has become red
hot. Hence, for 4 while the room is
cold, but when it becomes fairly aglow
.he heat is insuffeIabIe. The time to
replenish coal fire is when 1t begins
TO show ashes on lis surface, then put
on merely enough to show thick layer
Of olack coal covering the red. This
will soon kiudie, and as there is not
much of it, an excess OF heat viii not
De given out. Many also put out the
fire by stirring the CRATE as soon as fresh
coal is put on, thus leaving all the heat
jn the ashes when it should be sent tC
the new supply of coal. The time to
stir lie fire is just when the new Goa
laid on is pretty well ki1dIed. This
method "f managing a coal fire is trcu.
blesome, but it saves tue. gives a more
uniform heat, and prevents the discom
