Horse Stables.

The condition and health of a horse
depends very much upon the kind of
stable it is kept in. There are horses
which suffer from disease of the eyes,
from coughs, from scratches and other
skin diseases, all ofwhich are produced
by the pungent foul air in the stables.
Farmers and others who have horses
will take pains to keep their carriages
and harness protected from thestrong
ammoniacal air Of the stables lest the
leather may be rotted or the varnish
dulled and spotted; and at the same
time they will wonder why their horses
cough, or have weak eyes or moon
blindness, orsuffer from other diseases,
which, if they would only think for a
few minutes, they would readily per
ceive are due to the foul air the an
imals are compelled to breathe every
night in the year, while confined in
close, badly ventilated stables. The
remedy is very easy. The stables
should be kept clean; this will prevent
the greater part Of the mischief; and
it should be we'll ventilated. The floor
should be properly drained, so that
the liquid Will not remain on it, to be
absorbed, and decompose, and pro-
duce the pungent vapors OF ammonia,
which are SO injurious to the eyes,
nostrils, throat, and lungs; and this
liquid waste should be carried away
to some place where IT can be absorb
ed, and utilized. The floor should be
washed off at least twice week with
plenty OF water and then literally
sprinkled with finely ground gypsum
plaster), which will combine with the
ammonia and fix it. A solution Of
copperas (sulphate of irony will have
the same result. Lastly, the floor
should be supplied with absorbent lit
ter, which should be removed when it
is soiled Ventilation should be pro-
vided in such a way as to avoid cold
drafts. Small openings, which may be
easily closed with aside, may be made
in the outer wall near thefoor, and sim
liar ones near the ceiling or in the roof,
through which the foul air can escape.
Pure air is OF the utmost Importance
to the well-being of horses. AS an in
stance of it may be mentioned the fact
that in the English cavalry stables a
complete system ofventilation reduced
the average loss Of horses from the
deadly disease, CHAMBERS, from one
hundred and thirtytwo per thousand
yearly to nine. in the thousand;
and when a similar improvement was
made in the French army stables, the
PERCENTAGE Of death was reduced in a
similar ratio, with a still larger de-
crease Of milder ailments,-American

One Use For Straw,

Those who raise clover can find q
profitable way in which to utilize the
surplus straw. The value of clover
hay depends upon the curing. If ex-
posed to sun and dew until thoroughly
dried, it will be bleached, and half it's
value gone in the process. It must be
put up as green as possible. Right
here straw comes in as preventative.
Whether the clover be put in bay or
in the stack, by the free use of straw
it may be put up almost green, and
kept without danger of heating and
burning. By alternating the straw and
clover in layers, the dry straw will
absorb the moisture of the clover, and
so cut off the connection that general
heat in the mass will be impossible.
Not only is the clover preserved in
its natural good qualities, but the in
intervening layers of straw seem to
imbibe a part OF the aroma of the clo-
yer. At any, rate, it is readily eaten
by the cattle in Winter, and l think
it much better for them to have a
mixture of this kind than sole diet
Of dusty clover.
Where one is little short of hay,
this plan helps wonderfully to splice
out the fodder supply. 1t is needless
to say: that thestraw should be bright
and clean. Oat straw is the best for
this purpose, but any will do. Now
that the barns are nearly empty, the
straw may be hauled inside and put
where it can be used on the bay in hay
ing time. 1t will serve another pur-
pose in this way, and make just as
good manure in the end, as ifscattered
in the yards.

Lesson for Parents and Teachers.

AS a means of influence, the habit
of bringing faults and weaknesses to
the front cannot be too strongly con-
demned. It kills sympathy and fos-
ters a repellent attitude that rejects
all overtures, however well intended
they may be. It actually increases
the very evils it deplores by keeping
them constantly inview. Parents and
teachers often make this fatal mis-
take. Anxious to cure a fault, but
thoroughly unphilosophical in their
methods, they harp continually upon
it and keep reminding the child Of it's
presence, Us enormity, and it's dan
gers, until at length he comes to regard
1t as a necessary part Of himself. An
experienced educator says that an in
fallible way to make a boy irreclaim-
ably stupid is to assure him constant
ly that he is SO; and the sameis equal
~ true of most other faults. Only
through good can we produce good;
and, if we would truly help orimprove
another, we must find out the best
thing that is in him, and from that
point must we try to develop that
which is lacking. Let us ever bear in
mind that goodness and truth go hand
in hand, and that to discover, to vel
come, and emphasize the one is the
surest way to attain the other in it's
fullness.

John Adams was the first American
representative sent to England after
the Revolution. Being granted an au-
dience by the King, and after having
somewhat awkwardly made his three
reverences-one on the threshold of

other about half way and the last be-
fore the presence-he said with consid-
cradle tremor as he acknowledges: ~
think myself more fortunate than all
my fellow citizens in having the distin-
guished honor to be the first to stand
in Your Majesty's royal presence in a
diplomatic character" The King was
also profoundly affected by the novel
experience, and replied: II will be
frank with you. WAS the last to con-

Remarkable Mixers.

The Country Gentleman in a report
of visit to the Holstein herd Of Smiths,
Powell and Lamb, Syracuse, N. Y.
says:
Among the individual animals which
we examined was the COW Egis, now
eleven years old, and from her ample
size and capacious udder, no one could
hesitate to receive the statement that
she had yielded in a day not less than
So pounds 5 ounces Of milk, and had
made in a week 10 pounds 10 ounces
ofbutter. She has given Is, 1923 pounds
OF milk in a year, and before dropping
her last calf weighed l,945 pounds.
The quantity she gives requires
milking four times in twenty
four hours The COW Aaggie (of
which a good portrait was given in
the Country Gentleman, page 100, OF
1882. also eleven years old, is noted
for being the first COW that gave over
$4,000 pounds of milk in year, and
81 pounds-12 ounces in day. Aag-
gle Ross has high record, and at her
present rate, her, year, which ends on
July Z, will exceed 10000 pounds OF
milk, or 10 tons! In the same field we
saw three COWS which had exceeded
10, 900 pounds each. A two-year, for
which $4,000 was paid when she was
eight months old, came from a dam
which made 80 pounds z ounces OF
butter in 80 consecutive days, win
ming as we are informed, the silver cup
from the Jersey COW Mary Anne of St.
Lambert. We saw large number OF
two-year-old heifers, thirty-fve OF
which had averaged A pounds ofmilk
in day, and sixteen OF them aver
aged so pounds

Living too Fast.

DR.. Hitchcock, the professor of ath-
letics at Amherst college, has been try
ing to explain why we do not live
longer. He thinks that we condense
into forty years the work that should
be extended over q period OF seventy
years. Mems heads are prematurely
bankrupt; their stomachs are worn
out; their hearts, kidneys, muscles are
overworked; and then, as if to put a
climax upon the whole ordering of life
upon the present plan, he says: eft the
use Of tobacto increases during the
present as it has during the past
twenty-five years, we shall not only
know of sudden death from heart and
brain injuries consequent upon it, but
we shall see in the Anglo-Saxon race
men emasculated and sorely deficient
in muscular strength. A lack of con.
troll over our bodily and mental func-
tons is one reason why we live forty
instead OF seventy years.

Clothing in Summer,

Twenty, Or even ten years ago, be.
fore the fashion OF taking exercise in
summer had set in, the smart young
man OF the cities put las much white
linen or cotton as his purse would
allow. The poorest and most forlorn
revelled in a waistcoat which used to
be white early in the week. Those
better off wore spotless waistcoats of
the same material all the week, and if
their means allowed it, added thereto
white duck trousers. The real swells,
however-the men who had nothing to
do and did it, clothed themselves in
white linen from head to foot in warm
weather. The Southerners, who usedin
anti-bellum days to bethe wonder and
delight of Newport and Saratoga and
Sharon, were particularly given to raj
ment of this sort, and in fact it was
the mark of pecuniary ease COM
bined with perfect leisure. Nobody
who is anybody is seen in that attire
now. The stiff linen has gone out; the
soft wooden has come in. The men are,
in short, all slimsy and squeezeable as
well as the women. A suit of white
flannel in Summer, in the country at
least, is the highest point in the matter
OF dress to which the ambition OF the
most restless dude carries him. 1t
means not only disregard of expense,
but perfection, as regards comfort.
But then the wearers Of white flannel
by no means monopolize the good re-
suits of the wooden revolution. All
Summer clothes are now in a sense
hannels. OF whatever color they may
be, they are thin, porous and lii ht to
a degree which makes linen seem hot,
heavy and cumbersomein comparison.
It has iueen discovered, and the dis
covery will never be forgotten in any
change of fashion, that wooden cloth
ing, if thin enough, is to the wearer
very much what the Irishman's whisky
was both winter and summer. It keeps
the heat in when it is cold, and keeps
theheat outwhen it is hot. itenables
anybody to lounge on the grass or OF
the deck without getting rumpled or
soiled, and to exercise into any amount
of perspiration without getting chilled.
Intact, well-educated man, clothed in
thin flannel from the skin. out and free
from any organic disease, is, in sum-
mer, one Of the highest products OF
modern civilization.

THE + ARM AND FIRESDE
Growing Pansies.
From the Germantown Telegraph.

From the Germantown Telegraph.
This is one of the most popular flow
ers, and though it is popular and to
be found in most gardens compara-
lively few people understand its cult
walton with a view of obtaining the
finest flowers. They will 90 into the
grounds Of the florist and express
amazement at the great size and
beauty Of the pansies they see there,
will forthwith purchase a supply for
their own planting, and will be charm
ed with them, and be determined to
grow the same on their own premises
though their previous efforts have so
signally failed. When asked how they
had been growing them, they often re-
ply: II got some, but they are so
SMALL When told that they should
SOW the seed of the finest of those OBJ
tanned from the florist as soon as the
seed was matured-say some time in
August-and that was the only way
to have fine large flowers, the idea
was jumped at. That is the way to
get them. Every August the seed of
the largest and most desirable should
be sown, and the old ones dug up and
thrown away. And we should say
chat this is easy enough to do when it
is once known. In the winter the
plants should belightly covered. There
are new pansies advertised every
year, but any one, growing them care
fully and taking, as we say, the seed
from the best every year, will be as
likely as anybody to have large, new
kinds and will thus save the expense
OF purchasing them, which, at most,
last only for a single blooming.

Forest trees are now felIed with dy-
Mantle. A cartridge OF the explosive
substance is placed in channel bored
directly under the tree to be operated
upon, and when exploded the tree is
simply forced up bodily and falls in
tact on its side. In most instances it
is found that the free is not fractured
by the force of the explosion; a large
proportion of valuable wood at the
base OF the trunk can beutilized which
is now lost. For clearing forest prop
critics this method is admin ably adapt
ed, as it brings up the root of the tree
at the one operation, and dispenses
with the tedious and costly process of
grubbing the roots OF thefelled timber.
The currant is one OF the most east
ly grown fruits. It succeeds upon
any kind of soil; produces crop of
some kind even under the most neg

loan of well cultivated and manured
clay it grows luxuriantly and bears
large and high favored berries. The
best method Of propagation is by cut
tlngs OF the previous years wood, set
out IN rows foot apart and trans
planted to permanent beds feet
apart each way the next year. Liber-
al applications of manure spread
around the pushes every Fall will pro
duce heavy crop every year after the
third from setting out the cuttings.
1t increases by sprouts from the roots,
and the wood should be thinned out
as it is replaced by the new growth.
The young bushes should be trans

The forests of New England now

to obtain. Now S. and IS are large

now So and 81. Fire-wood is worth
little more than the cost of cutting
and drawing to market, in many
places. Thus in coal Nature provides
compensation for the scarcity ofwood,
and means for thereclothing of her ma
kedness with the stout and wondrous
garment woven of tree and shrub, of
which her child, Man, has robbed her.

THE KINAU REPAIRS.

Last night there was clang of
hammers on the bottom of the XII
nau. The rivets of the plates to be
renewed have to be cut out with
cold chisels. 1t gives good idea
of the value of the marine railway
to this port, to see such heavy
iron vessel raised high and dry, and
effectively repaired at much less ex-
pense than would be incurred in
sending her to the Coast. To show
with what facility large vessels can
be handled on those works, it is
enough to state the facts of hauling
this one up. The steamer James 1.
Dowsett was launched from the
ways at IL o'clock noon on Monday,
and at 8 o'clock in the afternoon
the Kinau was in her place ready
for the repairing operations. When
it is known that a large amount of
labor was necessary in shifting bilge
and keel blocks, to adapt them to
the different size and shape of the
two vessels, this expedition is all
the more remarkable.

THERE was Chinese opera at
crib little this side of the King
street bridge last night. A large
celestial audience blocked the side
walk and overlooked into the street.
The tom-tom was in superb tune as
tom-toms go, the tone of the screech
pipes was pitched to the zenith, the
saucepan symphony in G minor. was
in exquisite agony. A vocal solo
in G major, treble clef, threatened
to have cleft the artists mouth to
the back of his neck. His express
sion was all too demonstrative. The
all-devouring aspect of his jaws was
sufficient to create panic on the
rice exchange. A reporter who
joined the audience soon left, hay
ing not that kind of music in his
soul. Treason, stratagem and spoils
were good enough for him, when the
alternative was oriental opera.
