A Horses Intelligence.

A horse which has been in pos
session of the Peters family, in
Bushkill, Pa, for twenty years, and
which was famous for the almost
human intelligence he frequently
displayed, died recently. During
the last few years of the horses life
he had been permitted ito run at
liberty, but was frequently hitched
up to haul the dead bodies of cattle
or horses that died on the farm to
a place near the Delaware river
where the carcasses were buried.
Tue old horse always stood near
and watched the burials with great
,ntest and attention.
Some time ago this horse fell
sick. One day he was missed from
an Enclosure where he was being
cared for. A seach was made for
him, and he was finally found lying
dead on the spot where he had
fa4e the dead bodies of so many
OF his kind. AS the place was out
OF the way of the old horses usual
haunts, as he had never been
known TO go there except when
driven there with some dead an
NAL, no one who knew the horse be-
lieves that he did not seek the spot
feeling that he was about Co die,
and to save the trouble of hauling
his dead body there to be buried.
Among the instances told Of his
intelliOenee ale the folloWin0s Late
one night members of the family
that owned him were awakened by
a great noise on the piazza of the
house. There was the loud neigh
ing OF horse, and a tremendous
heavy stamping on the piazza
floor. - One of the inmates of the
house went to the door. There
was the old horse stamping and
kicking and neighiDg with all his
power. The discovery was made
that an Clubhouse near the dwelling
was on fire. The old horse had
given the alarm, and a disastrous
fire was prevented.
One spring there was nood In a
stream on the place, blind horse

From q paper by Gen. Long
street, in the February Century, we
quote as follows; "Jeb' Stuart
was a very daring fellow and the
best cavalryman America ever pro-
duced. At the second Manassas,
soon after we heard of the advance
of Mcdowell and Porter, Stuart
came In and made report to Gen.
Lee. When he had done so Gen.
Lee said he had no orders at that
moment, but he requested Stuart to
wait awhile, Thereupon Stuart
turned around in his tracks, lay
down on the ground, put a stone
under his head and instantly fell
asleep. Gen. Lee rode away and in
an hour, returned. Stuart was still
sleeping. Lee asked for him and
Stuart sprang to his feet and said,
"here / am, general"
Gen. Lee replied, Il want you to
send a message to your troops over
on the left to send a few more caval-
ry over TO the right"

Stuart, and with that he swung
himself into the saddle and rode off
at rapid gallop, singing as londly
as he could, Jine the cavalry

SORGHUM for Fodder.

Sorghum makes and excellent
fodder either when fed green or cut
and cured like common corn and
then fed out as wanted.
To secure the best results quick
growth is neGeesary and this of
course can only be secured by hay
ing a rich soil thoroughly prepared.
If the soil is not naturally rich q
good dressing of we'll rotted stable
manure applied after blowing and
then thoFoughiy W9rked into the
soil will be found profitable. The
ground should be thoroughly plowed
and narrowed until it is in good
filth. I prefer to roll after harrow
ing thoroughly, so as to make level
and pack evenly. A seed drill SOW
ing bushel of seed to the acre is
better than broad casting. as the
work can be done SO much more
evenly. If you have no seed drill
SOW broad cast and harrow in.
Sorghum seed does not need to be
covered deep. yet Fellires TO be
covered in order to terminate as it
should. - ----r--~( 2A;'---
The seed should be reasonably
clean. The first Of June Is about
the best time to sow the seed for
fodder. No cultivation is necessa-
ry. Invariably in selecting the plot
for the crop secure one that is free
from weed or grass seed as posi-
BILE; the cane makes slow growth
at first and in order to be sure of
the crops not being injured by a
growth of weeds anu grass reason
ably clean land should be selected.
Unless the land is thin or the
season very nnfavorable q sufficient
growth will be secured by the mid
die of August so that YOU can COM
mence cutting of if needed for
feeding. ii o aa.as
A new crop will start mp in q
short time, which if allowed to grow,
will make good fodder before hard
frost can injure it. 1t can be cut
at any time during the fall, but to
receive the most and best feed it is
better to wait until the seed is fully
formed and then cut and cure and
shock up. I prefer to let it cure at
least half day before shocking up,
as if put up in too large a shock
it is apt to mildew and spoil. Stock
of all kinds will eat and relish it
No different care care is needed
than that given common fodder. A
much larger quantity can be Sc
cured in this way than when sown
with the intention of making into
molasses, the stalk of course will
be smaller and not so high but the
larger number will more than make
up for this. AS range feed it is
the very best we have.-JouTnal o.
