How to Tell a Good Horse.


Unless a horse has brains you can't teach
him, says an exchange. See that tall bay
there, fine looking animal, fifteen hands
high. You can't teach that horse anything
Why2 Well, I'll show you difference in
heads. but have care of his heels. Look
at the brute's head, that rounding nose
that tapering forehead, that broad, full
place below the eyes. You can't trust hlm.
That's an awful good mare, as true as the
sun. You can see breadth and fullness be-
tween the ears and eyes. You couldn't hire
that mare to act mean or hurt anyb body
The eye should be full, and hazel is a good
color. / like a small, thin ear, and
want a horse to throw its ears well for ward
Look out for the brute that wants to listen
to all the conversation going on behind him.
Look out for the horse that turns back his
ears till they almost meet at the points; take
my word for it, he is sure to do something
wrong. See that straight, elegant face. A
horse with dishing face is cowardly, and a
cowardly brute is usually vicious Then
like square muzzle, with large nostrils to
let in plenty of air to the lungs. For the
under side of the head. a good horse should
be well cut under the jowl, with jaWbones
broad and wide apart under the throttle.
The next thing to consider is the build of
the animal. Never buy a long legged,
stilted horse. Let him have q short,
straight back and straight rump, and you've
got a gentleman's horse. The withers
should be high, and the shoulders we'll set
and broad, but don't get them too deep in
the chest, The foreleg should be short
Give me pretty, straight hind leg, with
the hook low down, short pastern joints and
round, muish foot. There are all kinds of
horses, but thu animal that has these points
is almost sure to be slightly, graceful and
good-natured and serviceabIe.

be prevented by drawing away the ground

The Best Varieties.

Competition is SO close, says an exchange
that the successful grower of any crop finds
it necessary to raise only the best varieties,
or those that sell most readily in his mar
ket Practically, what brings the best res
turns is the best variety to raise, and what
this is, whether of fruit or vegetables, de-
ponds on the reputation the variety has
established in any given locality. Growers
of vegetables can never give up an interest
in procuring seeds of the best varieties that
are brought out, and at this season of the
year they can proftably look over the
whole facilitating into consideration their
own experience and observation, learning
from others in the same work, and especially
studying up all the printed information on
the subject. The strawberry grower, max
ing, as he does, a new plantation every year,
must be equally vigilant in keeping abreasi
of the times, and the same is true in rela-
ton to all horticultural crops.

4. The fungicide, known as Eau Celeste"
has given the best satisfaction as a proven
tive of this disease. 1t is applied as q
spray.
5. The first spraying should be done few
days before the vines blossom. One, two or
three additional applications should be
made at intervals of about two weeks.
g. Sulphate of iron (copperas) has no
value as a remedy for this disease.
z. Carbonate Of copper has not given as
good results generally as the Eau

8. The black variety Of grapes seem TO
require a stronger solution Of Eau Celeste
than Catawbas.
9. The experience of 1890 has shown be-
yond doubt that this disease may effectually
be prevented at comparative slight cost.
The Eau Celeste" is made by dissolving
two pounds of copper sulphate in two or
three gallons of hot water In an earthen or
wooden vessel, then adding one Quart of
ammonia. Then fifty or sixty gallons of
water is added to this.
There are several kinds of sprayers with
which the solution can be applied to the
vines.

BalkY HOrS 90.

A society for the prevention of cruelty to
animals publishes the following rules for the
treatment Of balky horses:
l. Pat the horse on the neck; examine the
harness carefully, first on one side and
then on the other, speaking encouragingly
while doing so; then jump into the wagon
and give the word go; generally he will
obey.
2. A teamser in Maine says he can start
the worst balky horse by taking him out
of the shafts, and making him 60 round in
a circle till he is giddy. If the first dance
of this sort does not cure him, the second
will
8. To cure balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and shut off
his wind till he wants to go.
4. The brain of horse seems to entertain
but one idea at a time; therefore continued
whipping only confirms his stubborn re-
solve. II you can by any means give him
a new subject to think of, you will generally
have no trouble in starting him. A simple
remedy is to take couple of turns of stout
Irvine around the foreleg, tight enough for
the horse to feel. and tie in bowknot. At
the first shock be will go dancing off, and
after short distance you c6h get out and
remove the string to prevent Injury to the
tendon in your further drive.
5. Take the tail of the horse between the
hind legs and tie it by cord to the saddle
girth.
g. Tie string around the horses ear,
close to the head
A excellent devise for starting balky
horse, which we have never known to fail,
is to take handful of sand and force ID
into the side of his mouth. If anything
will "divert" his mind this win

SHORT CHAPTERS
On Vegete Culture.
THE ARTICHOKE.

AS the name indicates, this vegetable be-
longs to the sunfower family, having small
yellow flowers on the matured stalks that
resemble a diminutive suphower. The
srtichoke rests its claim for appreciation in
the vegetable garden simply on its quality
as a material for pickles. 1t affords one of
the incest and at the same time the cheapest
pickle that can possibly be made. A great
many persons prefer well-made artichoke
pickle to most every other kind. There is
no crop more easily grown than the arti-
choke, and under good culture hundreds of
bushels can be grown on an acre. The cult
ure is exactly like that of Irish potatoes.
but the artichoke when planted early In the
spring continues to grow and increase its
crop until the killing frost comes. They
need not be dug when the tops are first
killed, but the tubers can lie in the ground
all the winter, and be dug just as they are
needed, but they must be gathered before
the tubers begin to sprout, which they are
likely to do in February Near the cities
and large towns considerable profit ought to
be derived from a quarter or half acre in
artichokes. This vegetable is not appre-
ciated as it should be, though. If it were a
thousand barrels of pickles would be- put UP
in the south where one is now, and the
poor would use them as regularly as thew
do any other article of food. AS an anti
scorbutic nothing is superior to artichoke
pickles.
There are several varieties of the Jerusa-
lem artichoke-the red, purple, yellow and
white. The mammoth white doubtless is as
good as any, for it is vel y productive.
Medium-siZed tu0ers cut in half and
planted lSinches in the row, with rows three
Dfour feet apart. is the simple method of
Planting that only needs good soil and
enough culture to keep the crop clean to
produce any whore from $50 to $50 bushels
per acre. Over LOCO bushels have cen
grown on an acre, but $50 bushels should be
very satisfactory crop. The seedsmen de-
MAJ d So to S. per bushel for seed arti-
chokes, but this is very exorbitant. Money
can be made in growing them for 81 a bushel
or less.
Artlchokes sliced and fried or stewed or
Daked makes very nice dish, to be sure,
out, OF course, they are never likely to COM
pete with Irish potatoes as an article of
1000; but the Irish potato, on the other
nand, can never compete with artichokes as
material for making pickles, the only
qualIty that we are claiming for it that en-
ulies IL TO garden culture. Those who are
cogIlzant OF It's value on the stock farm

Canada wood ashes, that are annually
advertised in the northern agricultural pa
pers for fertilizing purposes, cost from $40
to SIS per ton in carload lots. The I'M
leached ashes average about AZ per cent.
of potash and % per cent. phosphoric acid.
Some samples contain as high as 519 per
cent. potash. These ashes are made from
pine woods and contain less potash than
from any other wood. Some analysis made
of Georgia pine ashes sho Eed from 10 to Is
per cent. of potash, but this is far above
the average OF ordinary pine ashes. The
principal ingredient of all wood ashes is
lime oxide, but the only elements of value
in ashes are potash and phosphoric
acid. OF the latter there ex-
lists usually from II to 2 per cent.
Ashes, when leached, generally lose about
so per cent. of the potash contained in them,
but the teaching process takes away very
lit lie of the phosphoric acid.
The most available and economical
sources of potash for the southern farmer
are the ashes of cotton seed hulls (which
contain from 10 to 20 per cent. potash, and
the German salts of potash, of which
kainit is the cheaper form and more gem
orally used, but it does not yield cheaper
potash than the higher grade salts.
Kainit contains of potash IL to IS per
cent. usually, but the muriate potash con-
tains so per cent of potash-four to five
times as much as kainit. but the price is
correspondingly as high, and the actual
cost of potash is about the same In both
AZ cents to cents per pound, according to
distance from the seaboard.
Up to the present time the cheanest
source of potash is to be found in cotton
seed hull ashes-that is, since the time they
were first introduced TO the trade.
OF course wood ashes, especially oak and
hickory ashes are one of the best sources of
potash, but farmers in the older sections of
the country especially do not make enough
of them to 60 far toward fertilizing their
farms. The potash salts and hull ash must
be resorted to when potash is needed.
"Sylvanit" is considerably richer in potash
potash than kainit, but not near so rich as
the hull ash.
