Cost of Keeping a Horse.

The cost Of keeping horse by the
most Of persons is mere guess work in
stead of careful figures. Mr.. j. II.
Andre, with view to enlightening the
uninitiated, gave recently in Rural Home
the following estimates: If one purchases
a good horse, 4 years of age, for $3.50 it
is good bargain. A top buggy will
cost $125, cutter S25, harness $50, robe
$40, blankets So, comb and brush 50,
whip So, which amounts figure S337.
Now if we take all into considera-
ton these will last on an average
ten years. Perhaps the wagon might
last longer, but it would need repairing
in that time; on the whole ten years is a
long average, as the horse might be
worthless in five years.
If it costs S337 for ten years, it would
be at the rate of S33.70 per year. and the
interest on the whole outlay at 6 per
cent. would be $20.22. Add to this at
least four tons of hay, which has aver
aged in the past ten years S12 per ton,
S48; one ton of straw for bedding, 81;
ninety bushels of oats at 35 cents per
bushel, $31.50; shoeing S5, and it would
be a cheap job to care for horse, wash
wagons, etc., for 81 per week, which
would bring the price to $52 per year, or
the sum total of $197.4 for the year at
moderate figures. And yet we find
thousands who keep horse and have no
real business for it and do not keep a
COW, when the cost of keeping a horse
will keep two COWS, and yet they do not
see how they can keep COW.

FIG. 2-PLAN FOR FARMERS GARDEN.
place, they may be kept in fairly
thrifty condition by keeping the grass
constantly short with the lawn mower,
and with the annual top dressing of fine
fertilizers which the ground will receive;
and thus the lawn mower becomes a tool
of real utility and economy, by allowing
these fruit trees to grow on this portion
of the ground which otherwise, if occu-
pied with tall grass, would render them
stunted and worthless.
Fig. represents modification of the
preceding plan, where the farm lane on
the left is entirely separate from the
ornamental grounds, and still reaching
the carriage house and barn buildings.
The garden (G) on the right is laid out SO
as to be cultivated by horse power, the
small fruits being planted in lines or
rows with the vegetables between them.
This vegetable ground is thus capable of
being plowed every spring with two
horses, and afterwards cultivated with
one horse during the summer, at little
cost. and giving much finer growth to
the small fruits and vegetables than they
could receive if the work had to be done
by hand. An average estimate places
the labor of keeping garden clean with
the horse cultivator at less than one
tenth of the work when done by hand.

FIG. PLAN FOR FARMERS GROUNDS.
In Fig. the dwelling (D) stands eight
or ten rods from the public road (R). and
is reached by the curved carriage road,
through grass lawn planted with few
ornamental trees. The straight road on
the left is for reaching the carriage barn
(c) and other farm buildings with heavy
or rough loads without driving close to
the dwelling. A foot path on the right
gives access to the house to foot passen-
gers on that side. The apple orchard is
still further to the right, and still fur
ther are the cultivated fields. A con-
venient open space in the rear of the
dwelling gives room for hanging clothes,
etc. In the rear of this space is the fruit
garden. with rows of dwarf pears,
grapes, currant, raspberry and goose
berry bushes and lines. of strawberries
Vegetables may be grown between the
bushes and dwarf trees The space oc-
cupied with ornamentals, half acre or
more. may be easily kept with the hand

New jerseys Wonderful Peach.

The state of New Jersey, which
abounds in progressive horticulturists,
has originated many valuable varieties
of fruits. Among peaches produced in
this state that have met with high favor
are "Crawford's Early" "Crawford's
Late" "Old Nixon Free" "Stump of
the World, "Keyport White," ETC..
And now attention is being called to the
Wonderful peach, chance Seeding
which appeared in an obscure garden of
Jersey mechanic. Mr.. Charles B. Hor-
ner, who was attracted by its size and
beauty, is credited with having intro
duced it to the public. He had it placed
on exhibition at the Burlington county
fair in October, 1886, where it was
awarded. in addition to tho first pre-
MUM, q special prize of a silver medal.

Beware of OintmentS for CatarrIl
THAT Contain Mercury.

AS Mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucus surfaces. Such ar
ticles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will do are ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufact-
ured by F. j. Cheny & Co., Toledo, o.,
contains no mercury, and is take inter
nally, and acts di ectly upon the blood
and mucus surfaces of the system. In
buying Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you

good keeping qualities. The peach is

of ripening in central New Jersey is the
second week in October or succeeding

A little later on will come reports from

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Trade During the Past Week Has Shown
Marked Improvement.

Marked improvements.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2s.-R c. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review Of trade says: Trade. during
the past week, has been undisturbed by the
monetary pressure often experienced near the
end of the year, and has, on the whole, inn
proved. The long foreshadowed break in
wheat speculation came, but there has been
some recovery. Sales here have been but To-
100000 bushels for the week, and it is still I'M
certain whether prices have declined enough
10 permit the mark citing of the large surplus
the country has on hand. Enormous crops in
Russia and the Danubian states, with lower
freghts, keep European prices low, and the
constant unloading by operators throughout
Europe who bought heavily when the crOp-scare
prevailed. Corn closed lAc lower, oats &c
lower, pork Pc per barrel lower, while hogs
rose pc per 100 pounds.
A break in oil dropped the price SIZE, and
refined also declined l0c per 100 gallons.
No monetary pressure now forces Ilqulda-
ton. Throughout the country the money mar.
kets are amply supplied though slight close
ness is noted at st. Paul, and frequency OF fail
ures causes uneasiness at Memphis.
The treasury is still putting ont more money
than il takes in-$1 10000 during the past
week and the outgo of gold has ceased for the
present. though bank rates at London remain
3 per cent, while money on call at New York
Is quoted at AZ per cent; the merchandise
eNpOrtS Improve from New y Ork Tor december
&ceeding last years by 6per cent. The excess
oYexpOrts over imports for November reached
So, $40, 39l merchandise, and s. 4l5,415 gold.
Trade accounts for the interior are generally
satisfactory. The iron, steel and coal trades at
Pittsburg are dull. Cold weather at Omaha and
snow in Wisconsin have improved the situa-
ton. At Philadelphia the iron trade is per
picked and uncertain Steel blooms are I'M
settled and low but rails and manufactured
iron look better. Copper and tin are I'M
changed; the syndicate has been obliged TO in
crease its holdings of copper by several thou
sand tons, and the stock is now supposed to be
100000 tons in Europe and $4,000 here, held at
$45, 900 or more.
Reports of railroad traffic show the east
bound shipments last week were III, 900 tons
the largest ever reported, against $1,000 tons
for the corresponding week last year. Earn
ings continue good. The course OF stocks dur
ing the past week has been decidedly favorable
10 holders, especially in a few OF the more
active shares, and the general average of prices
is about dollar per share higher than at the
opening of the year. Prices OF commodities,
on the other hand still tend downward, having
declined about ~ per cent. in December and
about So per cent. since Jan. !. The year
closes with general confidence rather greater,
indeed, than the present state of prices and
rate of consumption in some of the most i'm
pOrtant industries appear to warrant.
The business failures number 300, against 3l1
last week and 3O3 the week previous For the
corresponding week of last year the figures
were yO3.
