THE norE CURE For Krckrns.

During the last thirty-fve years a
neighbOr has cured over twenty horses of
the kicking habit, without failing in any
case attempted Following is his method /:
Take half-inch rope that has been
stretched until it cannot stretch nny
more, tic it around the horse six inches
back of the pad and bellyband of the
harness; insert short stick and twist il
up nearly as tight as the rope will bear
without breaking, and tie the stick so
that 1t will stay. Fasten the horse i'm a
stall where there is room behind him TO
WELD a long lash whip, then strike him
around the hind legs quite severely; at
the second or third blow he will generally
kick with both feet with all his might.
but only for two or three times. II he
has been in the habit Of kicking In har.
ness, drive him with the rope on two
weeks, or until he quits making any
threats. Some will kick once or twice
with one foot, and bob mp and threaten
for several days. They should be tickled
or teased, or have basket or pail thrown
under them or tied 20 hind foot several
times day TO make them try 20 kick,
and until they cease to make any effort
IN that direction. The remedy is then
cffectual. After driving the animal half
an hour the rope should be tiphtened
This will also cure bucking horses or any
which try 20 throw their rider Nom

The liking for celery is an acquired
one, like that for tomatoes. But no plant
grown is more healthful, and il should
be more generally on farmers tables dur
ing fall and winter. IL costs n good
deal to buy celery, as it requires extra
rich ground and good deal of labor TO

finds celery one of the most reliable and
