HORSES AT WORK.
How to Make Them Comfortable While in
the Harness.

How to Make Them Comfortable While in
the Harness.
Dr. Harvey. in Il lecture delivered
before the Pennsylvania State Board
of Agriculture, made the following al
fusion to the above subject:
The horse should be made comforta-
BILE at his work. His harness should
fit without CALLING. His bride should
be long enough to bring the bit down
to the angles of his lips-not so short
as to draw them up an inch or two
above their natural position. as is so
frequently the case. The blinds
should not touch his eyes, nor his eye
lids either: His head should not b,
reined uncomfortably high. On
long journey or in pulling a heavy
load, he should not be refined ut all.
He is surer footed when his head is
free, and, if he should STUN ble
he RECEIVERS better if he can
throw his head down and
thereby relieve his forelegs of
part of the weight of his body until
they get in place again. 1t is the
same principle as is applied when men
jump and throw a stone backward
from each hand at the same time. II
a horses neck is tired by tight rein
ing, he is a tired horse, and he has
been tired without having accom-
plished any thing to show for it. We
have all felt what 1t is to be tired all
over By the torture of tight shoes, and
the relief that comes to the whole body
with a pair of slippers He should
always have a free head when travel
ing in the night. He needs then the
free use of his faculties. Do not I'M
derstand me as meaning that the check
rein should never be used at all. 1t has
several uses. A horse can he more
easily managed, # he is disposed to be "
little too lively. by checking his head
mp. Horses naturally carry their he ad
up when excited, aud refining them up
into that position excites them. A
dull horse may. for q short time, be
made more lively by checking his head
up little while he is going: The ef-
feet will not continue long, but for a
short drive about town, with light
weight behind him. there is not much
objection to it if the horse is fresh.
When a horse is checked up while 60
ing he should be unchecked while
standing, that he may rest. The rein
should be easily shortened and
heightened, so that his neck may be:
easily relieved without giving him en-
tire control of his head which standing,
for he might. rub his bride or get his
foot over the lines if he could put his
hood 1o1,y 1o1u, ,,

WOMEN and children, the former espec-
ally, rely too much on excitement for
recreation, and carry it to such an excess
that it becomes simply dissipation. A
distinction must be understood between ex-
element which invigorates and excitement

IT is fact that the heart stomach and
eyes are the most abused and overtaxed
organs of the body. Excepting the heart,
the eyes are the most constantly in use,
they being constantly in action during every
waking hour of the day and night. Not
only is the eye compelled to endure this
continual use, but it must also withstand
the assaults made upon it in thousand
forms, arising from various prejudices and
superstitions.
MEN of sedentary habits should have
recreation largely of physical nature. A
brisk walk is what physicians most fro
qucntly recommend for exercise; but for q
person not accustomed to exercise, this is
not always beneficial, for, his BRAIN being
the only part of his body that is kept in &C.
tivity, the exercise throws the blood into
the head, and he. returns home severe with q
headache. Such man should take passive
exercise. such as rowing, sailing or hunting,
where his mind could be in slight activity
also.

Practical and Useful Notes ON Variety Of
Subjects.
Fresh-ground bones should be oc-
casion ally mixed in with the soft food
for chickens. 1t aids growth. and
helps to prevent weakness of the legs.
If the floor of the hennery is the
ground, and inclined to be damp, a
board floor should be substituted.

can be directly traced in many cases
to a wet. sloppy floor in tho hen house.
Proper feeding of young chicks in
cludes giving them such food as will
promote not only growth of body. but
of feathers. Feathers drain the sys-
tenn very considerably when they grow
rapidly. and to help repair this draft
upon the system the following is rec
commended as good ration: Take
one pound each of corn-meal, ground
oats, bran and ship stuff. four ounces
of ground bone. two ounces of salt,
two ounces of bread soda. and half a
pound of buckwheat meal. Mix with
milk and bake IN loaves. Let it get
stale, when it may be crumbled and
fed. Feed little chicks four or five
tunes day, and after they are two
weeks old keep crushed corn; SCREEN

them. Give plenty of water, and have
it in drinking vessels SO constructed
as to prevent it's being spilled, and
thus making the coop damp.

The fowls can have constant access to

whitewash, is also important.
The whitewash may be rendered
more effective against vermin by add
ing a little carbolic acid. Scatter air.

healthful odors. Sifted cohl-ashes

Many make a mistake in arranging
their roosts. They should be made of
round poles, never square OF ang ular.
and need not be made high-in fact,
should not be. Let them be arranged
on an incline of about forty-ive de-
grees, and strong enough to support
the weight of the heaviest fowls when
the pole is full. just beneath the

that the droppinSs may be shoveled

HOW TREES GROW,

The Most Important Factor in the p rO-
duction of Rings.
The seventh Lowell Institute lecture
in the course by Prof: G. L. Goodale
was on Forests and Forest Products. -
He said that in explaining the process
of tree growth it is of the first impor-
lance to keep in view the function of
the "camDian layer"
T his is the soft layer between the
wood and the bark. It is not, as
mi ght be guessed at first sight, y mass
of pulpy material, but is Il tissue of
cells. These cells, which are visible
under the microscope, arc. as thus
observed, apparently all alike. Yet
they are divjsible into two classes, ac-
cording to the functions which they
have to perform. Those cells lying
nearest the bark contribute perma-
nent accretion to the bark and thicken
it for the better protection of the tree
as its growth increases. The cells
nearest the wood of the tree contribute
in a like way to the permanent fiber of
the wood. which is distinct in charac-
teristics from the fiber of the bark.
This cambian layer is in its most
juicy and succulent state in the early
part of the growing season, as is
we'll know even to the school-boy, so
far as the willow tree is concerned.
At this time. by slight effort. the bark
can be disengaged from the wood.
and it is the time for making willow
whistles. But other tree growths are
in like condition at the same period
as respects the cambian layer. AS the
layer becomes more advanced in it's
annual progress it ceases to have this
suppleness and goes more and more
into fiber, either for increasing the
thickness of the wood or that of the
bark.
When the cambian layer wholly
ceases its functions for the year the
result is manifest in the ring which
has been formed on the outside of the
wood of tho tree. Substantially it is
true that one ring is produced each
year. but now and then occurs year
when the process of formation has
been arrested by canker worms or by
extreme drought and no ring is
formed, or it is so blended with the
ring of the preceding or succeeding
year as not to be discernible except
under the microscope. The variation
of thickness in the rings is explained
by the occurrence of conditions more
or less favorable to the growth IN
different yeara-M r SAN.

The Laws Of Life and He aIth.

The Montreal Witness very sensibly
remarks that we teach children gram
mar that they may know how to speak
correctly; arithmetic that they may
know how to calculate correctly in
their business transactions; but more
important to them than either, is a
knowledge of the laws of life and
health, that they may know how to
avoid disease, and eat, drink. sleep,
battle, breathe; in short. live correct
ly. This knowledge does not come by
instinct more than a knowledge of
grammar does.

which will produce good crop of corn.
Twelve loads per year multiplied by the
number of hogs usually kept by our farm
ers would make sufficient fertilizing sub

in other words, the hog would pay in ma
