HANDLING HORSES.

The Frequent RunawnVs Are LargeIy
Due to had Treatment.
II Is very easy TO ruin young horse.
AN even. equable temper in the trainer
Is essential. as the horse notes the con-
trary quickly and becomes afraid. A
writer in one Of our English exchanges,
in referring to the handling OF horses,
says:
Abuse may make horse, that is nat
urally courageous, cowardly II then
be receives blows, the fear Of them is
uppermost, and any unknown noise is
imagined TO be coming hurt to es-
cape from which is an uncomfortable
impulse. The man who abuses his
horse is often rewarded by the destruc-
ton of property and injury to himself.
the results OF runaways. But, when
the courage of the colt is developed,
II is not nearly so likely TO run away,
though he be hampered with blinds or
abused by cruel master, and it is
hardly too much 10 assert that il prop
erly treated he will mover run away.
Too often the training of a colt has an
effect contrary TO the cultivation OF
its courage. Forgetting that temper
is the most valuable quality of the
horse, its owner tries TO 'breaE" the
temper--to cove the animal.
The horse should be trained-not
broken; the training requires firmness,
mixed with much kindness. The man
who has no control over his own tenn
per, and whose judgment is warped by
ange., is not fit to train a colt As
abuse will make il cOwardly, so kind
ness will make IL courageous. The
basis of courage is confidence, and the
first point is to secure the confidence
OF the colt. The next Is 10 make the
colt sure OF his surroundings; watch
closely. and whenever he shows fear of
any thing. let him smell IT, If he has
confidence in his trainer, this will not be
difficult II he SHES at Il stump or
rock, ride or drive him up to it. Drive
him nearer and nearer the cars until
he is no longer afraid Of them. Have
the whistle sounded when his head is
turned toward it. and repeat this till
he ceases to start at the sound. Handle
his limbs and touch them with strap
till he no longer shrinls.
The courageous horse, the one with
the spirit trained. not broken, is the
horse that does the most work 1t does
not lag; to drive it is pleasure. II
does not give up and leave you mired
in a mud hole; it has the spirit. the
courage. to exert itself to the utmost.
Among horses. it is the one with the
trained spirit, fine temper, that does
the most work, the least harm. and in
danger acts quickly and intelligently.

Arabian. and what horse is more do

BOTANICAL WONDERS.

France.
A center of the botanical world here
is the Pommes de Terre Club. One of
the great practical botanists of France
is M. dc Vilmorin, wealthy land
owner, who devOtes himself to expert
mental culture. He had the recent
congress of botanists down TO lunch at
Verrieres. a delicious village nesting

plateau lying between that place and

1t is child's play compared to that OF
keeping plants from being crossed

Such types defy the insect world, and
are a protection from human beings,

Sometimes there are not four plants ia
a whole plot that are judged fit to be
preserved. New species are created
by process of selection. They are the
glory of the jardiniere or of the dinner
table, but by no means pets Of nature.

Best Time to Fell Timber.

The best time to cut trees for lum-

richer as well as more abundant, and
in the hot weather lively destructive

1t is an undisputed belief among old
woodsmen that trees felled in summer

CHAPTER XIV.

A glorious morning; the air crisp and
clear; a calm, blue sky, with All occasional
white, airy cloud floating high and quietly,
as if no storm had ever entered within its
realm, and a bright, smooth sea.
Such is the loneliness of the autumn day
that our voyage came to close, and the
Lady Clare hove in sight of New England's
blessed shores. America Oh for our delight
ed vision We came on deck to congratulate
one another on the safe and altogether
happy transit, to cheer up and be glad, as
only hcme- coming souls are.
Some one says: "Sing Home, Sweet
Homer and forthwith we find ourselves re-
solved into a blending OF song and chorus

when he wrote his memorable verses
which we so gladly sing. No; but we can
not afford to be sorrowfully inclined to-day
simply because he was unfortunate. 1t

where in our makeup to say this, yet n is

We put newer, swecter pulse into the
