To Catch a Horse in Pasture.

The american Cultiudtor says that a
young horse which it is almost impossible
to catch in pasture may be conquered if
the following course is pursued with him:
GO through the pasture where the horse
runs once or twice day, shaping the course
so as to go as near as possible to the rogue
without disturbing him. If he runs, keep
straight on and pay no attention to him.
After few days, when he finds that he is
not chased, he will probably let one come
quite near him, provided they do not go
straight toward him. When that
point has been gained take some
oats or a small dish of salt
and sugar mixed-about equal quantities of
each, and when so near that he can see it,
drop handful of the mixture in smooth
place, where he can easily find it, then move
on. The chances are that the horse will
make an investigation at once and eat what
has been left for him. After repeating this
a few times he will most likely be On the
watch, and instead of running from the
dish will come to meet it. When this has
been accomplished take some of the grain
of sugar in the hand and reach it toward
him. He will be shy at first, but will soon
come and taste it, and most likely scamper
away as though possessed. Let him 60,
speak to him kindly and move off in the
opposite direction. Follow this up until
when one enters the pasture he will come to
meet him. Always have a dainty bit OF
something for MIN. A pocket full of sweet
apples makes an excellent bait, so do few
Jumps of sugar. Let him come and hunt
for them in the pocket. When he comes
near, push him away carelessly and gently,
as though you did not care to have him
quite so familiar. Almost any horse can
be made SO tame in a short time by this
method that he will suffer himself to be
caught provided he is approached prop

Diaries in the South.

One reason why more diaries are not
started in the south is the farmers are too
poor to run risks in starting new industries,
and the planters who have means and credit
are opposed to small industries and mixed
farming, says the New Orleans Picdyune.
They like to make warehouses full of cot
ton, sugar or rice, and but little besides
IL farmer has half q dozen or dozen
cows and desires to go into dairying, he can
start on cheap and safe plan if he has no
money or credit to start a full-grown
dairy
Take the best COW with young calf and
make note of the number of pounds of
milk and butter she furnishes weekly. Then
commence feeding her on all of the hay or
corn fodder she needs daily, water her three
times day, treat her well, give her two or
three pounds of cotton seed meal and five
or six pounds of bran daily and warm
kitchen Stops, with little salt and quart
of corn meal, and in two weeks make
note of her yield of milk and butter. Note
what the increase of milk and butter is
worth, and then what her feed costs, and
see if five or ten cows would pay for their
feed and profit by the same kind of treat
ment.
If dairy will pay its own expenses and
handsome profit then the farmer may add
to his dairy conveniences and to his means
of making money. with no need of borrow
ing money or running risks. One cow may
settle the question safely.

Don't Neglect the Pastures.

In the press of farm work it is very nat
ural to give little or no thought or attentio n
to permanent pastures. The Germantown
Telegraph says that in soma sections of
country, notably in New England, there are
pastures that have been subjected to the
task of supplying food for thirty to forty
and more years. with little or nothing be-
ing done TO restore any exhaustive condi-
ton. Although the natural excavations of
animals are returned to the soil during the
day, in case of mich COWS, if yarded dur
ing the night, there is much that is not so
returned, and as consequence gradual ex-
haustion follows. Many pastures are Sc
lectei because of their roughness and the
lmpossibility of cultivation, and the only
means of Improvement comes from top
dressing. And because this can be accom-
plished with no great amount of trouble, it
should not be neglected to the extent of
lmpairing the feeding value of the pasture
Fine manure, bone meal, phosphate, ashes,
or other fertilizing materials may be en-
ployed to good purpose.

Prof James D. Dana of Yale college sug-
gests telephone" as an appropriate word
for telephone message.
The electric cars are said to make better
time after shutdown and before sunrise than
during the day. The damp air is thought
to favor the electric power.
The lightness and durability of white &C.

telegraph and telephone poles, use to
which it is largely put.
A process of engraving on glass and crys-
tai by electricity mas been communicated to
the French Academy of Science by A.
Plante. The plate to be engraved is COW
cred with a concentrated solution of nitrate
of potash, and put in connection one Of the
poles of the battery, and the design is
nected to the other pole. The results are
said to be of marvellous delicacy.
An electric fire engine, which can be
tapped for service whenever wanted, is the
latest invention. The advantages claimed
are that it can be started at full speed; that
that it is much lighter than a
steam fire engine Of equal power;
that it costs one-thlrd less; it is
noiseless in its operation; makes no
smoke or ashes; that it is safer and more
economical.
Prof. Fresenius of Wiesbaden after long
series of chemical analyses, declares that an
egg contains as much nourishment as a
pound and an ounce of cherries, pound and
a quarter of grapes, pound and a half OF
russell apples, two pounds of gooseberries
and four pounds of pears, and that ia

VIII Thorough Narrowing Keep Out
Worms?


H s. D. Of st. Anne, Ill, in the st. Louis
Journal of Agriculture, thinks that mis-
harrow destroys cut worms. Here is what
he says about it:
Il believe have found a remedy that
surpasses coal oil or turpentine, for such

narrowed crosswiss with a fine slanting
tooth harrow. The next day went in the
same field and it appeared to me the corn
looked little better than the previous day.
so concluded that it was best to wait till
next day, and I kept narrowing other
pieces. That day we had a soaking rain,
the first for a month, and to my surprise
the corn l had intended to Teplant was
looming up, and was of beautiful green,
healthy color, while that of the adjoining
field only appeared the worse after the rain.
But what surprised me most was on exam
lining more closely 1 found in many cases
dead worms on the ground scattered in
many directions. Thinking that the rain
had drowned them l went to look on a
piece of ground that had not been narrowed,
but not single worm was to be seen. Was
not that a curiosity? On one field lots of
worms were dead; il the adjoining fields
not one was to be seen on the ground. All
were in the ground as healthy as ever. For
this cause l came to the conclusion that the
narrowing did the work. The fine teeth of
the harrow served to dig the worm from tn o
ground, and when exposed to the rays of
the sun they were too weak to bury them
selves, thus they sooD died"
If narrowing will kill cutworms and at
the same time be the means of increasing
the nitrogen and other atmospheric plant
food in the soil, the harrow has much more
value in the crop than most farmers
suppose. Who can prove that the harrow
does not help increase the supply Of nitro
gen in the soil! Who has experience with
the harrow and cut worms that contradicts
the above writer in the Journal Of Agri-
culture?

JACK, the PHOTOGRAPHER.
a Morbid Boston Crank Who is the
Terror of All Aquatic Lovers.

Terror of All Aquatic Lovers.
Boston Letter to the Chicago Tribune.
There is an amateur Photographic crank
here in town who has developed morbid
passion for a most unusual pastime. If his
identity were ascertained-up to date it is a
mystery-he would be apt to suffer from
various kicks and other unpleasant things,
inflicted by persons who have undergone
annoyance at his hands. The Charles river
at this season of the year is favorite tryst-
ing place for aquatically disposed lovers,
who paddle about on the calm waters after
shutdown and spoon and spoon and spoon
until the fishes come up to the surface
and gasp for breath. Naturally the dark of
the moon is considered the most appropriate
time for these amatory pursuits, and it is
at such periods of lunar obscuration that
the crank photographer above referred to
comes to the front. Armed with camera,
he paddles light canoe 81 eutly abO 1t over
the still surface, until he finds himself uu-
perceived in the neighbOrhood of some small
craft, the suspicious lmmobllty of which
betrays the presence of Cupid at the helm.
Then, without making the slightest noise
he trains his instrument upon the uncon-
sclOus victims, springs a little magnesium
hashligEt and jerks simultaneously a string
that exposes a dry plate for fraction of
second. This, at any rate, is supposed to be
his method, though the astonishing swiftness
with which he skips away down stream.
after performing operation Of the sort,
has thus far precluded all possibility of in
vestigation. The outrage has been perpe-
trated so many times that the owner of the
canoe must now have quite a gallery of
lovers afloat, all ready for exhibition at so
much a head TO the thousands Of curious
people who would undoubtedly be willing
to pay literally for view of the collection.
And meanwhile it appears that engaged or
"courtiug" couples who go out in boats to
spoon upon the Charles are rapidly becom-
ing fewer, owing to the fear of being took"
unawares by tAis scamp with the mag
nesium light.
