Col. Henry Eshbaugh. formerly mas
ter Of the state grange, Patrons Of
Husbandry, OF Missouri, died April
10th. He was probably the most
able and efficient patron in the west.
He worked long and honestly for the
true interests OF the farmers.
In 1885 farmers will live in villages
where their families will have the
best social and educational advan-
tages. These villages will be like the
hub of a wheel, from which will go out
in all directions electric railways
which will take the farmer and his
laborers to the farm, and bring back
the products to market. The farms
will be small, but scientifically and
Systematically worked. The farmer
will be what he should be now,-the
most independent man on earth

There ought to be a fair sharing OF
farm income with the good wife; also,
Of course, a division of the burden

illustration in the pleasant ending

just as stupid persons ere. And do
noG buy the horse shat is narrow at
the top Of the head, bullying between
the eyes, and has a sunken, dlsh-like
face between them, for he is sure to be
vicious and treacherous. But take
the horse that has short ears, with
short, curly hair inside them; that is
broad between the ears and eyes, with
a regular, straight face, and large thin
nostrils, for in him you will find an in
telligent, spirited, yet willing servant
and faithful friend if you will only
treat him rightly.
"When you begin to train your
young horse, do it with mingled firm
ness and kindness. You must first
make him fear, then love you. Set
him free in a large box stall or other
enclosure, and 90 in to him with
whip in your hand When he turns
his heels toward you lash him. When
he turns his head toward you, throw
The whip back under your left ARM x-
tend your right hand toward him, and
say, Come here!' When he comes to
you, pet him and speak approvingly
and encouragingly to him. And when
you caress hinl, do not pat his name,
for he does not like that. Pat his
neck where it is free from the name,
and the point OF his shoulder and his
breast. When he does well, give him
an apple or a bit Of sugar or carrot.
He likes those things, and will be
grateful for them, and feel encouraged
to try to please you. You cannot
make too much OF a pet OF him. Do
not gave your kindness to him grudg-
ingly, but meet him full half way.
Never let him see that you are afraid
OF him. When you approach him do
not do so timidly, saying, Whoa!
Whoa over and over, while he stands
still staring at you and wondering
what the mischief is the matter with
you, but 90 straight and promptly
right up to his head. When you speak
to him, giving an order, do so
in a commanding tone OF voice, and
always give exactly the same order
for a thing; let that order express
clearly and exactly what you mean,
and impress upon his mind that what
ever it is it must be instantly obeyed.
Never say 'Whoa!' to him only when
you want MN to stop motion instant
ly. Ii you only mean that he should
slacken his speed, say, Easy Or
Slow Or Steady asyoumay prefer,
but always the same, whichever it is.
Never be unnecessarily cruel with him
in even the smallest degree, and never
lose your temper.
''Do not use binder bridlein train
ing your horse. 1t is not a sensible
thing. A horse-especially if he is
nervous-is much more likely to be
alarmed by the sounds OF things he
cannot see than by the sight. OF things
he does not understand. In fact, it is
a foolish thing to make a horse wear
binders under any circumstances,
without the bad habit Of them has been
forced upon him.

StOnctyall jackson and Barbara
Eriete!lie:

Colonel Henry Kyd Douglas, in an
article on Jackson in Maryland in the
June Century, has thistle say of the
alleged incident whicii gave rise TO
Whittier's poem: 1.-The troops being
on the march, the General and staff
rode rapidly out OF town and took
the end OF the column. Just q few
words mere in regard. to Barbara
Frietchie,' a touching poem which
sprang full-armed from the loyal brain
Of Mr. Whittier. An old woman, by
that now immortal name. did live in
Frederick in those days, but she was
eightythree years old and bed-ridden;
she never saw General Jackson and
General jackson never saw her

he was in that city He was there only
tWice-and nothing like the scene SO
graphically described by the poet ever
happened. The story will perhaps live
as Mr.. Whittier has boosted, until its
gets beyond the reach of correction.

Better Horses.
From Our Country Home.

From Our Country Home.
It won't be long before we have an
almost new set of horses. The days
Of would-be trotters are numbered.
A few years ago hardly any one would
patronize stallion, however good he
was and suited to the real wants OF
business, because OF the trotter craze.
That craze has worn itself out 1t
bucked too hard against common
sense to last long. People began to
long for the staying qualities OF
the old Messengers, the Morgans and
the old-fashioned breeds which could
go fast enough and at the, same time
do lots OF work and not 60 all to
pieces in a few years. The combina-
ton trotter and work.horseis myth
q great many chased behind prancing
colts and the high strung. nervous and
irritable brutes which worried the
soul out OF the owner. At last it has
dawned through the heads of the men
and some OF the boys, that there is a
place for everything, and that the
trotting breeds OF horses are made for
roadsters, not to pull loads, or to kill
themselves before street-cars and
trucks. They are too quick and
nervous for farm work and should be
kept for light wagons or road horses.
Now the right kind OF horses are COM
ing: such as the Cleveland Bays for
coachers, and the half Percherons
crossed on our best mares.

Do Not Fret

Marion Reyburpe, in Good Housekeeping.
"Every one OF these doors creaks so
horribly that it almost sets me wild, }"
exclaimed a tired housekeeper who was
trying to rest a little after the labors
Of a wearisome day. Now this wasnot
the first, perhaps.lt was the twentieth
time she had made the same, or a.
similar remark, about the creaking of
the doors, when with the aid OF a bot
tie OF oil and leather, she might have
made them swing noiselessly, and say
ed herself all the annoyance she had
suffered. It is great deal easier to
make suggestions, than to follow
them; but it seems to me that the
golden rule" for housekeepers miaht
be this: eff anything goes wrong for
which there is a remedy, apply it as
soon as possible; if there is absolute
ly no remedy do not fret, but make
the best OF it. | believe that often,

The cynic Of the Chicago Journal
says: t.There are three kisses in a
world of miscellaneous kisses which
may be counted true-the kiss the
mother lightly lays upon her baby's
dewy lips, the kiss the mother gives
her boy as hegoes forth into the world.
and the kiss we press upon the still,
pale lips OF the dead. All the rest are
like the Strawberries in the bottom OF
the basket--to be taken with suspi-
cion. We are sorry for the man $

rience, remarks the Springfield Union.

A thermometer is indispens sable in

Breeding too Young.

National Stockman.
There are few if any greater mis-
takes connected with the fine stock
business just now than the too preva-
lent practice of breeding too young.
The high cost of the best types of
breeders begets desire to realize
from them as soon as possible, and
owners very frequently overtax their
young stock for this reason. The con-
sequences are seen everywher Elm the
early breaking down of usefulness in
sires, III the dwarfed development OF
females, in the imperfection of proge-
ny, in weakened constitutions. There
is nothing gained by too great haste
in this matter. Natures laws can
not be violated with impunity, and
the greed which prompts their viola
ton in the direction indicated should
and often does defeat it's own end.
This is point which deserves increas-
ed attention.
Some Practical Suggestions About Hand
ling Horses.
From the New York Sun.
The excitement attendant upon the
very lively proceedings between Prof.
0. R. Gleason and the vicious horses
he handles at Cosmopolitan hall is
very likely to divert the attention Of
spectators from much Of the really
valuable instruction he imparts YER
bally. Here are some OF the hints
dropped incidentally by theprofessor:
Never buy a horse that has long
ears, with long straight hair inside
them; is narrow between the ears and
between the eyes, has fiat round eyes
in sunken orbits, and whose nostrils
are small and thick, forhe will certain
" prove to he a beast of small intelli-
genca hard to teach, incapable Of re-
membering, and liable to be obstinate,
