Dumb Animals.
From the Marietta ,Ga.) Journal.

FROM me MdTteUd tGd.) journal.
Cruelty to dumb animals is sometimes in
dulged in by rash and impetuous individ-
uals. A driver of mules or horses will over
load the wagon and then lash the poor ami
mails to make them pull the load which taxes
every muscle and strains theit strength to
a hurtful degree. AT other times we have
seen men fly into passion and strike their
animals over the head with a stick, the lick
being hard enough TO fracture a mans skull.
This is all wrong and is punishable by law
A merciful man is merclful to his beast
Therefore, no matter what YOU own, whether
it be n COW, OK, mule, horse or dog, treat it
with kindness, and you will find the law Of
kindness works as well in securing the love
of dumb animals "a it does with men.

very often is.
A man who had dined at a restaur-

"Only let us have them without the
cream"
"Yes, sir"
"And without the apples, please
"All right, sir" ,e
The waiter disappeared, and soon
returned with plate on his salver, on
which lay a spoon and a little powder
ed sugar. The customer looked sur-
prised.
''1ts your baked apples and cream,
sir, without the baked apples and with
out the cream" said the waiter.

same. and the customer felt bound to
pay it.-fouth's Companion.

Here and There.

DR.. William S. Devoe, of New York,
has succeeded Professor James Law, who
resigned his position as chief inspector
for the state Of New York of the Animal
Bureau Of Industry in order to resume
his duties at Cornell university,
According to the census report of 1880
the value Of the forest crop Of the United
States for that year exceeded 500, 00O,-
900, or was equal to one-third Of that Of
all the farm products whatsoever sold,
consumed or on hand in the year 1879.
The California Fruit Grower says: at
is no use trying to disguise the fact that
the grape crop Of California this year is
much below the average in size and
quality of fruit"
The honey season has not been sue
cessful one in either the United States or
Canada.
Results of experiments in the cultiva-
ton of corn on the grounds Of the New
York experiment station make it appear
that root mutilation is injurious, and
that the more the soil is worked without
mutilating the roots the more favorable
will be the effect upon the plants. Act.
ing on this assumption, the ideal method
would be to cultivate the soil very shall
low wherever it contains roots, and
deeply where it contains no roots, in
order to favor root growth to the utmost

value of the Russian apples.
Flowers In Washington City.

Proportionately more flowers are
bought in Washington than any other
city of the country. There are very few
private Conservatives, and tho lovers Of
fragrance and beauty are forced to 60 to
the florist for their buds and blossoms.
In and out of the social season the for
lists do thriving business. One in few
years made money enough to buy big
corner lot facing prominent thorough
fare and to erect a large building, the
lower part of which he uses for his city
storehouse and sales room. In the win
ter he gives weekly flower shows, and
the town focks to his place to gaze at
rare orchids, masses of chrysanthemums,
and great pots of la France roses. A
number of wealthy people have contracts
with him to regularly furnish palms,
cacti and other rare plants. They are
symmetrically placed in odd corners OF
drawing rooms, and as they lose their
fresher green they are taken awayto the
cooler nurseries, and other plants are
substituted for them.
Strange to say, but few flowers are
shipped to the florists from local points.
In the winter all the rare flowers, includ-
ing the more valuable kinds of roses, are
bought by the florists in New York and
Philadelphia. The roses are packed In
dividualfy in wads Of cotton wrapped In
oil paper, covered with sawdust and well
boxed. They quickly fade, of course,
and their delicate beauty and perfume
disappear with the first course Of the
mehu or the first waltz on the order OF
dancing. chicago BeEald.

We'll Bred Mules.

Are the best shaped mules raised in
Missouri or Kentucky? To this question
American Agriculturalist replies: I'm
doubleday Kentucky carries off the palm
in this respect, as the breeding of mules
has been long conducted there. There
are many intelligent mule breeders in
Missouri, but the Kentucky stock has
the general preference. Kentucky mules,
upon an average, are worth $40 per
head more than the Missouri mules,
from the fact that they are better
bred There is more thoroughbred
blood diffused among the horse stock
generally of Kentucky and Tennessee
than in any other states in the Union,
thus giving a better class Of mares to
breed from than can be found outside Of
these two states. On the other hand the
blood of the Clyde and Percheron mixed
with the coarse Canadian is the founda-
ton of a large number Of the brood
mares in the northwest They produce
large, coarse, sluggish mules, not to be
compared TO the somewhat smaller, but
clean limbed, active, high spirited mules
out Of well bred Kentucky mares. No
animal shows the effects Of good breed
ing more readily OF to greater advantage
than mule.

Mr.. D. 1. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave, KY,

it not been for Electric Bitters.

the old rate. For this reason managers
are continually striving to enlarge their
business by the holding out of exceptional
Inducements; but the present trouble is
that all of them have entered into this
method, and the offers of inducements
have become so liberal that there is no
profit for any of them to gain as the re-
suit of the business they obtain. What
the companies or their managers must do
is to devise some means of checking COM
petition other than the pooling system;
but apparently no method has yet been
suggested upon which any considerable
number of them can agree. Boston

Dict for a Run Down Horse.

In reply to the question, "What is the
best feed to give horse that is run
down in strength and fesh!' Massa-
chusetts Plowman says: If you cannot
get pasturage, feed your horse fresh cut
grass or clover hay, with few oats, say
four to six quarts daily, and give him
gentle work or exercise so as to keep his
appetite and digestion good. AS he gains
strength. you can substitute corn meal
mixed with cut hay for one or two ra-
lions daily using not over four quarts a
day.
Corn meal alone is not so safe a grain
for horses as oats; most cases of collie, we
believe, are to be traced to injudicious
use of corn NEAL but horses fatten rap
idly on it and it is cheaper than oats;
to make it q safe article of diet we would
advise mixing it with the same bulk Of
wheat bran or feeding in connection
with oats and some root, say one half
peck Of carrots daily.

MANuREs IN The VINEYARD.
Limo Ashes and Bones for Grape Vines
Whey to Apply Them.


When to Apply Them.
The fall and early winter is the best
time to apply any coarse manures to q
vineyard or orchard, but manures may
beapplied later in proportion to their SOL
utility. Ashes has long been esteem
as one of the best manures for grape
vines, because ashes contain lime and
potash, both of which abound in the ash
of the vine. Ashes should not be applied
until about the time the vine starts into
growth in the early spring, and they may
be scattered on the surface and gradually
worked in during the cultivation of the
crop. But lime is not especially important
unless the soil is known to be unusually
deficient in this element, as most clay
soils or fresh soils of any character con-
tain an abundance. Moreover ashes con-
tain even more lime than potash. If the
ashes are unleached and dry, fifty BUSH
els would be liberal application per
acre broadcasted. 1t would be improper
to apply the strong, unleached ashes i'm
mediately around the vines. Leached
ashes may be safely applied in almost
any quantity.

two years old; cut off the long and all

When the two eyes have put forth canes

ming of hot weather. Bones may be
broken into coarse pieces and a peck
scattered around each vine and forked

and last many years. Fine bone dust
may be used if more immediate results
are desired, sprinkling che same over the
surface at the rate of two or three
