A cOLT's FIRST LESSON,

A horse examines strange objects by
smelling them. Therefore let the colt
smell the halter before you put it upon
him. Let him examine it all over, then
put it quietly upon his neck. Always be
calm and quiet in your manner toward
him. Don't yawp and yell at him. If
he pulls back, take a common clothes
line rope and make large slip loop knot
around the body, back of the forelegs,
drawing it moderately tight, and pass the
end up between the fore legs through the
halter. This confuses the colt. He can
not understand how anything can pull
the hind part of his body and his head at
the same time; and on feeling the strain
behind he will go forward, and thus you
will accomplish your object without
being compelled to use force.
Then he is taught by pulling on the
rope at the word of command to obey the
order "Come here" After he has learned
that, hitch him to post with the same
rope, the one between his forelegs, and
open and shut umbrellas, draw baby
carriages and all manner of scarey
things around him, and make hideous
noises If he pulls back, he will feel the
rope unpleasantly about his body, and
will stop trying to get away.

GLEASON'S WAY OF BEGINNING
A COLTS EDUCATION.

Constitution for Farmers Club-Dry-
ing Seed COrn-How to Keep Apples
Sound u Year-Professor Sanborn-To
Keep Grapes.
Oscar II. Gleason, the famous horse
educator, gives colt some first lessons
in training as follows:
Turn him loose, either In box stall
or carriage house, and, with the whip in
the right hand, slowly approach him and
crack the whip. The colt will run away
from you and generally 60 into the cor
ner bOllow him up, however, and keep
cracking the whip until he turns his head
toward you. The moment he does this,
step right up to him and caress him on
the point If the shoulder. II he should,
rs you approach him, whirl around and
kick at you, keep your eyes open and
quickly give him sharp cut on his hind
legs with the whip. BY following this
up carefully, in very short time he
will learn to his sorrow that when he
turns away from you and attempts to let
his heels fly he receives punishment, and
that when he looks you in the face he is
treated well and rewarded.

islature, he left his farm and went to
the State capital to keep his exf OF
things. When at last4t Mas'anne Ind
ed that he had triumphed in the con-
test, he rushed to telegraph office,
and in the mad enthusiasm of the mo-
ment sent this message to his family !:
ELECTED! Hooray! Paint my old home
red!" He staid at the capital for
about week, celebrating his good
fortune, and then returned to his rus
tic seclusion. On alighting from the
train he was half dazzled by a scarlet
glare that appeared above the apple
trees of his orchard.
"What's happened to the house?" he
asked, in amaZement.
"Nothing," replied one of his fellow
townsmen; "only you telegraphed us
to paint your old home red, and we've
done it. Here's the bill"
They had painted the house, and

HomeSiCk Horses.

Not long since large and noble look
ing horse, without halter or bride, was
seen trotting rapidly through the bust
ness part of Wilton, New Hampshire,
finally turning down Maple street, and
going directly to the stable in the rear
of Mr.. D--'s residence.
'Isaac" trotted through the carriage
house into his old stall, apparently de-
lighted to see the members of the fam
lily who soon visited him. Nearly
three years previous the gentleman had
sold him to parties who soon disposed
of him, and after exchanging owners
several times, had for few days found
home in the town of Greenfield.
The day he returned he was taken
from the carriage in the door-yard, and
after eating a mouthful of "feed" de-
signed for the chickens, tossed his head
high in the air, and at lively gait

To Keep Grapes in Quantity.

Dry, cold air is an essential condition
for the preservation of grapes. What is
termed cold storage is practiced by large
fruit growers. In the Hudson valley
growers construct large storage rooms
with sawdust walls fourteen or fifteen
inches thick, inclosed by matched boards
outside and inside. Floors and ceilings
have the same insulation at the sides.
In these rooms a uniform temperature is
maintained, with some as low as 36. de-
grees, with others 40 degrees. Husman adj
vises, for long keeping, that varieties with
tough skin only be selected, and that the
fruit be fnlly ripe when stored. Gather
In dry weather, cut the punches care
fully, being sure not to cut off the bloom.
Place in a cold room for several hours,
that the heat may be drawn off. The
stems will then be less brittle and more
easily handled. Lay the punches evenly,
with stems downward, fill the boxes and
keep in an even temperature, not higher
than 40 degrees. New York growers
patronize, many of them, for storing grapes
boxes about one foot long, two feet wide
and six or seven inches deep, placed one
on top of the other.-New York World.

Rules for Farmers Clubs.

The Iowa Register prints an excellent
form of constitution for farmer ALI
ance or club. If there is no such organi-
cation in your neighborhood, form one
this winter. Such societies aid farmers
by increasing their intelligence and
brotherly spirit
The constitution alluded to is as fol-
lows:
Article 1. This society shall be called
the Farmers Alliance, of - township,
of - county (name of state).
Art. 2 The object of this alliance shall
be to unite farmers to foster and protect
their interests, and by the exchange of
ideas and discussion of questions to edu-
cate the old and young in more freedom
in deliberative assemblies, town meetings
or political caucuses, and thus be enabled
to defend their rights. The subjects
mostly to engage the attention should be
the most approved methods of stock
breeding, raising, feeding and selling; the
most profitable plans of agriculture, as
well as preparing the minds of farmers
for avoiding the many frauds and imposi
tons practiced on them.
Art. 3. This alliance shall be COM
posed of not less than seven members,
who shall be practical and operative farm
ers, and none others shall be members.
Art. T. This alliance shall hold regular
meetings at least once month and not
oftener than once q week, unless exigen.

ed by his new owner, who soon OBJ
tanned a fleet team Mt his own village
but was one hour behind the horse.
A little later the same family were
still more surprised. A man who was
engaged in work about the premises
saw a horse come into the yard, walk
up to building that was formerly the
stable, but now used for another pur-
pose. After gazing through window
he looked about outside, and discover
ing handsome new stable, with doors
wide open, only a few rods away, he
trotted gracefully up the drive and
took possession. ....,. .....
The man did not recognize him, and
tried to drive him away, but he
wouldn't go. Finally, with a halter
about his neck he succeeded in leading
him, but as he persisted in returning,
he asked Mrs. D, in the absence of
her husband, to look at him, remark
ing that it must be horse they had
owned before he worked there.
Quite a delegation of village people
had already visited the stable, but all
the information gained was simply
that he had been seen to pass through
the town; so there was nothing to do
but await further developments.
The moment Mr.. D., who soon
returned from drive, saw the horse,
he exclaimed to his wife: "Don't you
know him? Why, this is colt sold
between ten and eleven years ago, and
have regretted it ever since. Only the
other day | was wondering what be-
came of him." CIT was one of pair
he drove the year before his marriage,
and he thought his wife ought to rec
ognize him.
When his old mate was brought out,
the horses showed so much pleasure it
was as affecting as witnessing his joy
when his former owner entered the
stable. He had journeyed from Fitch
burg, Massachusetts, more than twen-
ty miles away, and so far as can be as
certained it was the first time he had
been ''loose and free" since he left
Wilton so long ago.
The present owner had turned him
out to feed" to find an hour later that
bars and fences were not an opposing
force to homesick horse, though
well-behaved and apparently

Mr.. r. w. Emerson, in The Homestead,
gives some good advice to newly organ
lied alliances.
Some neighborhoods have plenty of
men who cannot, or think they cannot,
say anything in public, but will sit and
hear others. If such be your case your
president should ask each of you person
ally your opinion about different things
that come up and are talked over. They
may only say few words at first, but
gradually, as their interest kindles, they
will forget to be bashful and will be eager
to talk. Now, this can easily be done il
your president is careful and works Just
right. Why, if we do not save cent or
accomplish anything in a legislative way
for two or three years it will pay, and
pay big too, as a school to educate us
and beget an interest in agricultural lit
erature. You ask the age of members
| would take the boys as soon as they
were old enough to take an interest, and
let them grow up business farmers. Cush-
ing's Manual will teach you regular

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue from Pro-
prietary Medicines, no doubt has large
" benefited the consumers, as well as
relieving the burden of home manu-
facturers. Especially is this the case

HARVESTING.

4 -
The next lesson, says Professor Glea-
son, to be given to the colt should be
the HARVESTING. First, put on the open
bride with the straight bar bit, and run
the lines back through the thill straps.
Then teach the colt to turn to the right
and to the left and to stop at the word
whoa These lessons should never be
longer than an hour each, and generally
only two day. Check reins I do not
approve of, as, in my judgment, if a
horse is foaled without style you cannot
help the matter any by forcing him into
it until you have thoroughly trained him
how to drive.
The illustrations here given are copied
from The American Agriculturist. Glea.
son tells us that colt should be broken
when about year old, but never worked
in a vehicle till he is at least wears
old Many horses are ruined by being
worked too young.

Drying Seed Corn.

For number of years past / have not
failed to select my seed corn in October,
and dry it by fire heat, and ] am so thor
Oughly convinced of the benefit of it that
| would not sell my fire dried corn for S.
a bushel and plant seed from the crib,
even if l knew the latter would grow.
There is strength and vitality about the
early gathered fire cured corn which that
from the crib does not possess.
my plan of drying seed corn is this: I
have stove set up in a room that is not
plastered over head, and nail lath to the
underside of the upper floor joists all
around the stove pipe, and fill in with
corn. AS the joists are deep enough to
take three ears, about six superficial feet
will store a bushel, and this enables me
to put up five or six bushels of corn and
not any of it is more than four feet from
the stove pipe When first put I'D corn
in this way was afraid it would get too
hot, but as an experiment placed some
ears within foot of the stove pipe where
a hot fire was Kept all winter, and the
ears would get SO hot every day as to be
uncomfortable to handle, and these ears,
tested in the following March, gave ali I'M
usually vigorous plant.
81 believe that earliness can be best Sc
cured by gathering the corn before fully
ripe, for there seems to be kind of in
stinct in plants, which has been noticed
and referred to by many able writer's,
which leads them to adapt themselves to
circumstances, and the plant grown from
early gathered seed seems to put forth
every effort to mature early.
eff, as l firmly believe, we can add
from 10 to 20 per cent to the yield of orr
corn by careful attention to selection and
breeding of the Seed who can afford to
neglect it, and in what other way can we
get as much profit out of little labor?'
