on him to see il during the night he would
lie down, but he was never caught in that
position, aud he could not be tempted to
recline by even the sweetest and cleaness of
bedding. sHe died literally upon his feet
he was taken sick, and in giving him
drench from long nscked bottle, with his
head pulled up to beam, he suddenly fell
back and expired.
Unless horse lies down regularly his
rest canaot be complete and his j)ints and
sinews stiffen, and while it is true that
horses that sleep in a standing position con-
continue to work for many years it is
equally true that they would continue to
work for many years longer and perform
their work much better if they rested
naturally. Young horses from country
stable may refuse to lie down when put into
stable in town, and the habit may be
confirmed unless in iucsms ITS are offered.
Horses can be taught to lie down, and they
can also be taught tn be as neat AMI cleanly
in their habits as individuals.
1t Is very rare thing for horses afflicted
with disease that superinduces fever to lie
down. They win stand up until nature be-
limbs refuse to sustain them. They have
an Instinct which teaches them that if they
lie down it may he difficult for them to get
upon their feet again. A sick horse, be-
cause of his evident knowledge of his own
condition and his inability to communicate
the symptoms and the nature of it, COM
mends himself to human sympathy mo,e
than any other animal. Horses have hor-
ror of deata, and especially dread death in
their own kind. A horse may be sick in
company with stableful of horses and the
others will not notice him at all, but the
moment he dies there is CONSERVATION
throughout the entire stable. A horse may
be absolutely fearless of every inanimate
thing that comes to his notice, but will be
frightened beyond measure at the sight
of one of his own kind lying dead by the
roadside.

Horses at Rest.

There are some curious facts. says an ex-
change, about the disposition of horses to
lie down. To hard working horse repose
is almost as great necessity as good food,
but tired as he may be, he is often shy
about lying down, even when a nice clean
bed is provided for him. The writer once
rode mare seventy miles in single day
The stable in which she was put for the
night was as comfortable in every way as
it could be made, yet she stood the whole
night through. She ate her oats and hay
and then went to sleep, leaning forward
with her breast against the Manager. There
are horses that have never been seen to lie
down, and If they have ever done SO it was
only for short time and at an hour when
they were not likely to be seen. No marks
have ever bsen discovered uool their coats
which would indicate thai they had been
lying down. A horse is recalled no " that

was 2 years old. the first stall ia grand

fdent that our customers will
approve the careful selections
which our buyers have made.

The Most Available Man,1re

Writing on this subject A. P. Reed says
because it is always the most available,
but because, in his opinion, it may be made
so.
This manure all comes from vegetation
directly. Coming thus. it is the farmers
natural fertilizer and also what he is most
likely to have the most of; hence the ne
cessity of making the most of it. IL con-
tains latent plant forces that were ouce the
possession of living plants.
This matter, inert as it is while piled up
in heap, is capable of infusing its power
In new forms, when properly invited by
man to do so. 1t is not often, however,
that the ordinary farmer succeeds in using
all these pent-up forces, because it is not
often perhaps, that the ordinary farmer
makes his manure heap as much available
for plant life as is possible.
Mr.. Reed claims that common farmyard
manure may be made much more available
to vegetable life than it is, generally speak
ing. In order to get the most from any
fertilizer, one condition must obtain. In
order that the plant shall appropriate all
there is in the fertilizer for it, it (the ferti-
lizer) must be easily soluble by water at the
time it is placed before the plant.
Perhaps commercial fertilizers have this
quality more perfectly than stable manure
can possibly have, yet, seeing that CONNER
clal fertilizers cost money, while farmyard
manure accumulates spontaneously as we
go along, it becomes necessary that we
make all we can out of the latter, and thus
economize the commercial article, which is
tine thing to have if we do not 60 beyond
our means in buying it. As means to the
end above pro- osed, it is important that all
liquid nanures be turned in upon the pile
OF solid manure as it is voided, including
alsolf possible the Stops from the house.

state. Ali ''tie ups" aud stalls SHOULD be
so arranged that taeir liquid weddings will

with its solids.
Another important means to the end de-
sired, Is to throw layer OF earth from time

should be We'll forked over.
Ihls cannot be overdone if the manure is
under cover as it should be, and in doing 1t
a little more absorbent added IN places
would be advantageous. Perhaps some have
Darn cellars only partially dug.
n good way to dispose of the surplus
earth Is to excavate by degrees and save it,
especially the surface soil, to apply occa-
sionally.
These three things are nothing new and
are practiced to some extent, but not enough
in his Judgment.
Ii well managed these three factors will
be found of great service IN getting the
most from the manure heap, which so often
proves the farmers only bank account.
Then when the manure is put into the field,
incorporate it well with the soil, aud ma
ture does the rest Whether she will grow
useful plants or weeds with it, depends upo

would grow. II any man must be aggressive
more than another, that man is the farmer
Commenting on the above the editor of
the Massachusetts, PoUman says that the
suggestions are entirely good, specially in
regard TO the importa ice of saving the
liquid manure. This in general is best done
by using freely some absorbent, and the
manure pit should have a water tight floor.
Proba ly the best floor for this purpose is
made of paving stones bedded in coal tar
and gravel; this will Lear team without
injury and is water tight.
Where such pavemeats cannot be en-
ployed any tight floor will answer the pur-
pose, and even without a floor the liquids
may BE- efectually saved by absorbents.
The absorbent plan is probably better than
the drainage plan, as it ensures less esca0e
of ammonia, and does not give off so disa-
greeable an oior. Among the best absor-
bents that could be used is coarse and thor
oughly-dried muck. Straw, leaves or vege-
table litter of almost any character comes
in as next best. When the absorbents are
charged they should be promptly removed
to the manure pile. and their placed at ones
filed with new materials. Sawdust is
largely employed as al absorbent, but on
account of slowness in rotting it does not
make an overly good addition to the ma
nure pile.

The Style of Macaulay.
Liverpool Courier.


 1t has become of late a fashion to speak of the decaying influence of Lord Macaulay. In & measure there is truth in the reflection. The num- Der of those who are tempted to imi- tate, or try to imItate, the perilous combination of ease and stateliness in his style, has dwindled down to one or two sssiduous but not over fortunate disciples.
 It by no means follows, however, that because it has ceased to be a model it has in any degree lost its attractiveness. It is no dishonor to 8 vanished hero that no survivor pre- stunned to wield his sword. Macau- lays style was perfect from the pen oi Macaulay, but it was not one that could be reproduced by lesser men at will. "Soak your mind with Cicero" was his advice once to beginner. It was not so easy a thing to imbibe Macaulay. What was with him effort less splendor became, with the me- chanical copyists, poor affectation. The flavor of novelty soon left the fictitious mimicry, and nothing bu, the artificiality remained. What was grand became grandiose the stately periods, the picturesque imagery, the matchless lucidity shriveled into a spiritless array of thin, suited sen- tences, painfully stimulating an appearance of rich and restful ease
 Macaulay could be reproduced just AS little as Carlyle, and though the copyists of the more kindly master offended less than those who caught at second hand only the crabbedness and ruggedness of the sage of Chelsea still they offended, and little by little have wisely abandoned in despair an enterprise on which it was folly to enter.

The Romantic Story of Young French
 Couple.


 George R sims Tn London Referee.
 A young married man of Lyons fell in love with young married woman The met secretly, adored each other, and agreed to fly together-tO put the seas between themselves and their families. But there was a slight diff culty in the way They had little money for long journey, and they wanted to be far, far away-in America for choice. Then an idea came to the man that they would take their smell capital of few hundred francs and go to Monte Carlo and make it into a fortunes fortune which would enable them to live in peace and plenty on a far-off shore. So it came that one day, with a small box and portmsn- teau, the fugitives arrived at Monte Carlo and put up in a little hotel where tor eight francs day you can have bed and board They had only a few hundred francs with them. In the letter which they had left behind they explained that from the first their arrangements were complete They foresaw the possibilities of the situation. They would play until they had won enough to go to America or they would lose all. And if they lost all they would die together and give their friends no further trouble about them
 They were few days only in Monte Carlo. They risked their louis only a few at time, and spent the remain der of the days and evenings in stroll ing about the romantic glades and quiet pathways of the beautiful gardens whispering together of love and looking into each others eyes.
 The end came quickly. One evening they went up in the soft moonlight to the fairy land of Monte Carlo. They entered the Casino. They had come to their last few golden coins. One by one the croupier's remorseless rake swept them away, and then the lovers went out of the hot, crowded rooms, out from the glare of the chandeliers and the swinging lamps into the tender moonlight again. Down "the Staircase of Fortune" arm in arm they WCAb3 dlObS tAO iOi IOuS Iudl OAC tSI- races that look upon the sea, on to where at the foot of the great rock on which Monaco stands there lies the Condamine. It was their last walk together. The lovers were going home to die.
 That night, in some way which I was unable to ascertain, the guilty and ruined man and woman obtained some charcoal and got it into their bedroom. They then closed the win dows and doors and prepared for death. They wrote letter-a letter which an official assured me was so touching that as he read it in the room where they lay dead the tears ran down his cheeks. Then the girl -she was but girl-dressed herself in snowy white and placed in her breast $ sweet bouquet of violets. Then the charcoal was lighted and the lovers laid themselves out for death, side by side, and passed -dreamily into sleep, from sleep to death, and from death to judgment.

The Potato Crop.

Some of our exchanges are flattering
themselves that we have a full crop Of po-
tatoes in the west, and that the farmers are
storing them in large quantities for spring
sales. This is a mistake. The farmers are
selling very freely this fall, fearing a repe-
tition of the very low prices of last spring.
Our eastern friends reason that the low
price and apparent abundant crop in the
west, will bring potatoes to their market in
the spring at much lower prices go to rs
cents) per bushel than they have to pay for
them now.
One writer says: POTATOES are so cheap
at the west that the railroads refuse to take
them unless the freight is prepaid, fearing
that the crop would not be worth the freight
at the point of destination" This writer
| either overlOoks or does not know that the
railroads always require prepayment of
freight on all perishiblc articles after Nov.
1st, for fear of freezing. Potatoes received
in good order would he worthless, though
ever so lightly frosted, when they reached
their destination. Hence the custom of
prepayment. The facts are that the west
ern potato crop is short in average and short
in yield, but remarkably fine in quality.
With this state of facts in view our New
England friends have small hopes of low
prices the coming spring, and if we are not
mistaken our farmers are little hasty in
their anxiety to get rid of their potato crop
thus early,
