FARM AND GARDEN.

plans Suggested by Country Gentlemen
for the Laying Out of Vegetable Gar
dens So ms TO Render Them Productive
with Comparatively Little labor.
During recent years many progressive
farmers have adopted the practice Of
laying out their gardens so as to be cul-
tivated with a horse, giving them an
oblong form. to obviate frequent turn
ing Gig. y. This course has been found
a great improvement. But it is leading
10 a mistaken practice, namely, spread
ing the garden over too much land, and
preventing that perfect preparation Of
the soil which is essential to the growth
of the finest vegetables. Three requi-
sites are very essential to q perfect gar
den and to the most delicious products
complete undertakings, copious manur-
ing and fine pulverization of the soil.
No more ground should be devoted to
the garden than may receive these three
requisites. The fourth part of an acre
under the very best treatment is better
than an entire acre with partial neglect.

Points in Poultry Keepinc,

A correspondent of Farm Poultry asks:
Glow many hens can keep in house
IL by 20, giving them free range most of
the year? What is the feeding value of
sunfiower seeds, as compared with grain?
How many can one feed, how often, and
are they injuriousif fed too freely" The
journal appeal to replies as follows:
About twenty-five; but better results
will be obtained If you divide the house
into two pens 10 by Il, and divide the
fowls into two focks of twelve to fifteen
for each pen. This would necessitate
having two yards to correspond, but that
would be an advantage, provided the
yards were large enough to keep grass
growing, say 100 square feet per fowl.
1t would be an advantage, because hens
kept in semi-confinement will lay more
eggs than if running at large. Their
strength goes into eggs rather than being
used up in walking exercise. Sunflower
seeds are very rich in fats, and there is
danger Of feeding too much of them.
just as there is of feeding too much corn.
One or two feeds a week in cold weather
is all that should be allowed of them.

Salt for the Hair.

There is an old belief that salt water in
jures the hair, and a delightful old lady
once explained the reason therefor.
You see,r she said, .'the salt in the
water is stronger than the HAIR in your
hesa, and so the salt just draws the hair
right out" Assuming this to be true.
That salt water will draw the hair out of
the head when it isn't otherwise specially
inclined toward coming out, by good
homeopathic reasoning we come to the
conclusion that when the hair insists upon
coming out of its own accord a vigorous
treating with salt and water win put q
stop to it. Whether the reasoning be true
or not the fact is. Not all the tonics you
can buy ut the hairdresser's will do your
hair half the good, If it manifests 0

A Canadian Dalryman,. Plan.

A Canadian describes plan by which
he gives his calves fresh new milk. and
yet manages TO have good supply of
butter from his milk. The idea is
simple enough and well worth consider
alton. Tine plan adopted is as follows:
At milking time two large vessels are
put outside the barn door, one marked
dairy" and the other calves" One
half of the milk given by each cow, viz,
that first drawn, is put into the vessel
marked calves" and the other half.
VIZ, that last drawn, is put into the
vessel marked dairy This latter half
Is found. on being tested, to contain
from tYp-thirds to three-fourths of the
cream. The calves have the advantage
of being fed with milk warm from the
COW; at the same time they are reared
ut a moderate cost, as their allowance of
the milk does not contain much cream.

An Enquirer reporter spent several
days watching the exercises and noting
the pecullarities of the training. Mr..
John Wilson, the veteran four-horse
rider, is at present in charge of the es-
tablishment, and spends eight hours
every day, four in the morning and four
in the afternoon, in practicing the candi-
dates for excellence in the saw-dust
arena for the John Robinson shows. The
building for the school is of brick, two
stories high, and was erected for the pur-
pose in 1865. 1t is a bsrn-like structure,
with Office on the right of the structure,
and room which serves as a dressing
room for the ladies as well as a storeroom
for various styles of brides, bits and
horse medicine. Alongside the Office are
fifteen newly-painted circus wagons, and
opposite twelve valuable horses stand in
tLcir stalls. Bales of hay are piled up
all round, and in the rear of the building
is the ring. 1t is what is called forty
two-foot ring, that is the diameter, while
its circumference is 1926 feet, and horse
going around it forty-four times would
cover distance equivalent to a stretch
of mile. Formerly board ring was
used, and broken wrists, fractured legs
and dislocated arms were the too frequent
result. There is about eighteen inches
of tan-bark in the ring, covered with
from eight to twelve inches of sand and
sawdust. The ring is soft and yet springy,
and absolutely free from dust.
In the centre of the ring is six-ipch
pole reaching to strong joist that is one
of the roof-supports. This pole revolves,
and at distance of twelve feet from the
ground has an arm extending to the cir
cumferencc of the ring. To this arm are
attached two pulleys, and over them runs
d rope, one end of which is attached to
ring in the riders back, and the other
end of which Mr.. Wilson, the trainer,
holds tightly wound around his left hand,
while in his right hand he holds a long
whip, which, as tbe horse lags, he snaps
with a crack, to let the animal know
there will be no monkey business.
The machine or contrivance is known
as a "mechanic," and its object is to pre-
vent the learner from falling. In its
simplest form it consists of wide
strap, which the new riders fasten around
their waist or under the shoulders, IN the
back of which is an iron ring. In case
of falling or SLIPPING the rider is held up,
while the horse passes on. For the

H0M to Go to Sleep.

Correspondents Of the London Spec
tatm have been supplying that journal
with various remedies for slceplcssness.
A curate in London is afflicted in direct
proportion to the mental worry and
absence of air and exercise he has to
endure, and finds that "to walk even one
mile day is great thing" in the way of
aremedy. At the moment, he says, the
best thing one can do is to get up, drink
half glass of water and walk round the
room. The slight alteration of cold and
warmth has a soporifc effect. For a
permanent result: olive healthy. Avoid
too little and too much exercise, food,
especially wine. Dine lightly, eating
very little meat. Battle an hour before
dinner, not before going to bed. Do
something in the evening that does not
excite you, something like whist, that
does itself mechanically. Decide how
much sleep you ought to have-say eight
hours-and get up sternly when you have
been in bed eight hours, however long
you have been awake. Increase your air
and exercise gradually"
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1890-03-12

ladies, however, the arrangement is more
complicated. Two straps pass over the
shoulders, and the ring sets at the back
of the neck, attached to a strap running
from the waistband, the rope that runs
over the pulleys and into the trainers
hand, holding the lady learner in case of
a rall erect IN the air, her feet dangling
and the horse passing from under her.
The trainer continually moves around the
pole with the horse, watching every
motion of the animals head and every
swish of the long tail, as when the ears
60 back and the tail swishes the animal
is going to kick, aud he is at once spoken
to and held up. Thus if horse is going
to kick, which the trainer at once knows,
he can reverse the mechanic and hold the
rider aloft in the air completely out of
all danger
The first horse that came into the ring
was six y-ycar-old gcldiug of Arabian
stock, which had never been before an
audience and was stranger to the
plaudits of the arena. He had on
biting machine, consisting of a wide
girdle over the back Just behind the
shoulders, in which were the hand pieces
to assist the rider in vaulting on and off.
A rubber bit was used, and the curb held
the horses head in firm and graceful
attitude. "Thc horse had been kicker"
said Will Darr, a stout-built, athletic
young man of twenty-eight, with cigar
stump in his mouth, clad in a pair of
pants, woolen shirt, and in his stocking
feet. Vaulting to the nag's broad back,
the animal loped around the ring. Then
