FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Plaster for Peas.

The Hon. f. p Root, writing to Mr..
Reynolds Rural of the pea as a farm
crop, speaks of the effect upon the
plant of land plaster-gypsum-as
"wonderful, even greater than on clio.
yer, doubling the growth, and some
times more:"
"No fertilizer l have tried is so ben
efcial. 1t should be sown as soon as
the plants show above ground, in
quantity about the same as for clover,
from one to two bushels per acre. 1t
Is quite remarkable that the effect of
plaster sown on peas should be so diff
ferent from its effect on beans,on which
| have not been able to discern any
effect whatever. The plants are alike
Ieguminous and analysis shows them
to be quite similar in their compost
ton, though the bean contains some
what greater mineral element, it being
8.45 per cent. whilst the pea contains
but 2.S7 per cent, showing that the
pea is less exhaustng to the soil. The
yield of peas is usually about the same
Or perhaps moro than that Of beans"

and set it up in the Toulouse, barn, or

have the axes, planes, drawing-knife,

The Pulse of Animals.

Veterinarian in the National Lire
Stock Journal has this to say in rela-
ton to the pulse of animals
"The healthy pulse in the adult
horse is from 36 to 40 beats to the
minute, in the OK from As to so, in the
,heep from 70 to 80, and in the pig
about the same as a sheep. In young
animals the pulsations are faster and
in old ones they are slower than those
In their prime. In very young ones
they are, of course, very much faster.
The healthy pulsations may also vary in
The same class Of animals, according
TO breed, temperament, or even indi-
vidual peculiarities, and very slight
cause, such as a sharp word or a
start" may increase the beats ia an
excitable horse ten to thirteen beats
per minute. The frequency of the
pulsations may be taken anywhere
that an artery can be felt by light
pressure on it with the finger, or the
beating Of the heart may be felt on
the left side, just back of the elbow.
But were our knowledge as to the
state of the pulse to be limited merely
10 the frequency of the beats, it would
DO small indeed The tone, volume,
md force have also to be taken into
consideration. A very frequent pulse
often indicates great weakness.
"Ihe pulse in the horse, OK, and in
most of the lower animals is convent
emily felt at the angle of the under
Jaw, where the submaxillary artery
coming from the inside passes under
The lower edge of the jaw-bone and
mounts up toward the face, just in
front Of the large, fiat muscle that
closes the jaws. The frequency of
the pulsation varies mucn in different
animals, according to the disease, its
stage, its severity, etc. Few horses
survive long with continuous pulse
of 100. A continuous pulse of sixty
to siXty-fve in abdominal disease,
lingering collie, ETC., would indicate
danger, and a pulse of sixty to seventy
is not uncommon in favorable cases
Of influenza or other lingering OF
facilitating diseases of the organs Of
respiration of the horse"

He Felt Small.

A great newspaper reader was
hunting recently, and storm COM
ing up he crept into a hollow log
for shelter. After the storm abated
he endeavored to crawl out but
found that the log had swelled SO
that it was impossible to make his
exit. He endeavored to compress
himself as much as possible, but
with Indifferent success. He
thought of all the things he ever
did, until finally his mind reverted
to the fact that instead of subscrib-
ing for his local paper he was in
the habit of borrowing it from his
neighbor, and thus defrauding the
printer. On thinking of this he
felt so small that he slipped out of
the log without an effort.-Ex.

Jerseys VS.. Holsteins.

Mr.. Walter Gilbery, of Ireland,
imported two fine Holsteins and
tried them against two fine Jerseys
for fourteen days last summer, on
grass and feed. The Holsteins av-
craged 27l quarts of milk per day,
and % pounds and 13 ounces of
butter per COW, for the two weeks.
They consumed 47.9 pounds OF feed
for each pound of butter.
The Jerseys averaged 10! quarts
of milk per day, and produced %
pounds and3 ounces of butter each.
They mado a pound of butter for
every Oil pounds of feed.
In November they were tried
again with no pasture, for six days.
The Holsteins consumed $50
pounds of feed, and yielded 166
quarts of milk, which made 10
pounds and / ounce of butter one
pound to every 97.4 pounds offeed.
The two Jerseys consumed 654
pounds of feed. and gave SO quarts
of milk which produced 13 pounds
and three ounces of butter, or one
pound to every 49.5 pounds of
feed. These Holsteins required
twice as much feed and milk for
each pound ofbutter as the Jerseys.
There is no COW on record that will
produce more butter, on the same
amount of feed, than the Jerseys.

Making it Pleasant For the Horse.

Mr.. Torreyson. the blacksmith
of this city, is noted for his kind
ness toward animals. He has just
built a road-cart, now on exhibition
at his blacksmith shop, which is
destined to revolutionize travelling
by road and to materially tighten
the labor Of that noble animal, the
horse. The idea is TO occasionally
give the horse chance to ride in
the cart as the driver. The idea
was first suggested to Mr.. Torrey-
son by seeing a turtle move along
the road carrying his she'll with
him. The vehicle made by Mr..
Torreyson has four high wheels
and the place between them is
arched, so that the horsei is hitched
under the wagon between the
wheels, his head projecting little
beyond the front wheels and his
tail just barely clearing the hind
wheels. The driver sits just over
the horses neck and the others in
the wagon face outward on each
side. The horse is so fastened that
the pulling is distributed over his
body and does not all come on his
neck and shoulders. In this posi-
ton he is greatly protected from
the sun and storm and thereby en-
abled to make long journeys with
less fatigue.
But the principal part of the in
vention lies in a bellyband about
four feet wide passing under the
horse. When you reach the top OF
a long hill, down which the horse
would have to go slowly as he held
back the load, you simply turn a
crank and it lifts the horse off his
feet several inches from the ground
and the vehicle then runs down
the hill of its own momentum. II
is provided with a steering appar'
atus and a brake, that the vehicle
may be steered and it's velocity
regulated.
Several times during the day th'
tired horse has a chance to ride
and is very much rested. Als'
when the horse attempts to rul
away you wind up the crank ant
he is lifted off the ground perfectl.
