In the Garden. | sEAsoNABLE POEM BY MAN OF LARGE
 EXPERIENCE IN LIFE. Come out into the garden, Maude; Come out and watch me make 1t. I've got two spades three pecks of seeds, And a rake with which to rake 1t. Come out. and watch with what delft skill An Irishman hire; And help me sit upon the fence To watch the man perspire. When was young and foolish, Maude, fused to do that work; And showed big blisters on my hands AS proudly as a Turk. But now, although my head is bald. It's twenty times as foxy, And when the gentle spring time comes garden 1t by proxy.

How to Tell a Good Horse.

Unless horse has brains you can't
teach him. See that tall bay there,
fine looking animal, fifteen hands high.
You can't teach that horse anything.
Why? Well, I'll show a difference in
heads, but have a care of his heels.
Look at the brute's head. That round
ing nose, that tapering forehead, that
broad, full place before the eyes. You
can't trust him. That's an awful good
mare, as true as the sun. You can see
breadth and fulness between the ears
and eyes. You couldn't hire that mare
to act mean, or hurt anybody. The eye
should be full; and hazel is good
color. like small, thin ear, and want
horse to throw its ears well forward.
Look out for the brute that wants to
listen to all conversation going on
behind him. The horse that turns
back his ears until they almost meet at
the points, take my word for it is sure
to do something wrong. See that
straight, elegant face. A horse with
a dishing face is cowardly, and cow
ardly brute is usually vicious. Then
/ like a square muzze, with large nos
trils, to let plenty of air to the lungs.
For the under side of the head, a good
horse should be well cut under the jowl,
with jaw ones broad, and wide apart
under the throttle. The next thing to
consider is the build of the animal.
Never buy long-legged, stilted horse.
Let him have short. strong coupling,
and a straight rump, and you've got a
ceptleman's horse. The withers should
be high, and the shoulders well set
back and broad, but don't get them too
deep in the chest. The foreleg should
be short. Give me pretty straight
with the hook low down, short
pastern joints, and round mulish
foot. There are all kinds of horses,
but the animal that has these points is
almost sure to be slightly, graceful,
good.natured and serviceable. - Maine
Farmer.

there is in it. If we stick to this, and
keep our eyes and our minds open, we
can not help learning; and what we
have learned, "good and sure" for
ourselves, is very likely to be equally
useful to hundreds of others, If we can
only tell it so that they can see it as we
see ii. Here is about all the secret
there is in writing for the press. AS

Cling. You can sell your writing just

What is good and sound don't go
a-begging. -
WE are often asked directly, or by
letter, for our personal experience in
this, as in other matters. We have, so
far as we know, neither false pride nor
false shame in speaking of ourself, in
print, when occasion requires it. But
individual experience always has its Pc
culiarities that are not likely to be du-
plcated with others, and are so far of
little use. We have just gone straight
ahead and done the best we could. Or
blunders and failures have been made
TO pay for themselves in the instruction
we have got out of them; and remem-
boring, with faith, the comforting as
surance of an eminent Bible character,
to the effect that he had never seen
those who did right forsaken, nor their
descendants begging bread, we have
kept doggedly at work, and so far have
seen no reason to doubt his statement.
The sa, ing of the British workingman,
" It's d0gged that does it," is certainly
justified all about us. Never say de-"
is the farmers watchwOrd. " If at first
you don't succeed, try, try again." is
another proverbial expression of the
same fact. Don't run ruinous risks,
and if one way fails, learn Uhy, ard
look out for better. This applies as
well to writing as to farming. 1t is a
truth that everybody has use for.

1T is very often the most modest
men in the business who have studied
it most thoroughly, and could make
themselves of the most value as writers.
But the first effect of careful, consci.
entious study of our work is to reveal to
us how little we really know of it. Even
when with patience and time we have
culled some facts, they seem small in
deed beside the multitude of problems
that remain unsolved, and we think them
hardly worth noting, except for home
use. But let such an observer send
note of his new fact to well edited
periodical, and see how quickly it will
appear in print. 1t does not take a
great deal of paper for any of us to tell
all we knoD about farming. If it is
paid for by the column, it will not bring
us back very large check from the
publisher-yet he will want to hear
from us again, and will be very likely
to tell us so.

NOTHING is more pitiful than to see
man, or a woman, with a fondness
for writing, yet with very little worth
saying to say. 1t is the work of such
people which fills the waste baskets of
editorial rooms to such frequent over
flow. Study your business, put your
ideas to practical tests, guard against
errors and misconceptions, and care
fully write out in plain words the re-
suits and conclusions you have reached.
1t is not necessary that the object of
our study should be anything strange
or unusual. 1t is things under our
hands, day by day, that are best worth
studying, and from which we may learn
what is most profitable for us and our
heighbors to know. If you love your
work, and are interested in it, you will
often see way to do it better, easier
and cheaper. Keep an open eye and
an open mind; put prejudice aside,
and strive to see things as nearly as
possible just as they are. The only
value a thought has is in the truth

WHAT these papers want, above all
else, is the statement of carefully OBJ
served facts. Guesses and opinions
the world is full of, but few are so
earnest in the pursuit of knowledge as
to be willing to observe facts accu-
rately, and fewer still who can reason
upon them conclusively. There is no
other practical business in which there
is 80 much guess-work, mixed with so
little sound fact, or clear thought, as in
American farming. Our practices are
often bad, and our reason for them
are rarely water-tight. 1t is often
said, and it is too often the fact,
that even our most plausible writers
are not able to show, in their actual
work, the possession of superior knowl-
edge Of, or skill in, their business. We
have known the case of one quite
prominent writer for the agricultural
press who made Gas he still Makes so
good show upon paper as to bring
an enthusiastic farmer of the West to
see with his own eyes the achievements
he had read of. That visitor hired a
team at the station, got directions in
regard to the road, and reached the
farm he sought-only TO turn back
without stopping, and leave for home
on the first train. A single glance at
The premises was enough for him.

AS a rule-one as nearly without ex-
ceplion as any general rule we know
of-very little is paid by the agricultural
journals for communications. There
are many very intelligent farmers who
take pleasure, we are glad to say, in
holding converse with their brethren
through the agricultural press. They
probably regard the pages of such a
paper as an exchange, where their own
ideas are bartered for those of others.
1t also offers a good exercise which,
when carefully and thoughtfully pur-
sued, has a true educative effect on
those who engage in it. A young
farmer who writes for his agricultural
paper really gets as much as he gives
in acquiring the power of expressing
his ideas clearly. In doing it he
widens his mental horizon and obtains
a grip upon truth that is in many ways
of advantage to him. If, alters while,
he finds the publishers occasionally
making him a small remittance, he may
be sure that note has been taken of his
ability to be positively useful to the
paper. He has given something that
has moneys worth in it.

IT seems queer that while so many
of us make failure of Bookkeeping,
bees can take such good care of them
selves. Thrifty colonies are found very
often in the woods; and not unfre-
quently we see accounts like the fol-
lowing, from the Connecticut Farmer:
"Mr. Ebenezer Adams of South
Wethersfeld has noticed for long
while that bees were going in and out
through an opening in the cornice of his
house. On investigation, and with the
assistance of Fred Welles, on removing
a portion of the floor in the garnet, they
discovered lump of honey six feet
long and two feet wide, which weighed
one hundred thirty-one pounds. For
commercial purposes, probably, the
modern methods are the best; but they
seem to us more risky than the old
fashioned bee gums and bOX-hives of
our youth. The old stands in the edge
of the orchard rarely, if ever, failed to
give half a dozen full hives to take
up'' in the fall, and to winter the remain
der all right. There is a good deal said
about the cruelty of killing the bees to
get their honey by people who do not
hesitate at the killing of a pig to get his
pork. The life Of working bees is short,
and we do not think they get much
comfort " hived up" all winter to die
a natural meath EARLY in the next
season.

FALSE humanity is also eXemplified
in the protests against dehorning cattle,
caponizing fowls, etc. 1t is only a
new thing of this kind that seems to
bring out such protests, the older ones,
entirely similar, being quite unnotced.
Followed out logically, we should never
have reduced any wild beasts to the
use and service of mankind. The no.
ton that we ought never to inflict any
pain or labor Qor labor is pain, and con-
finement is pain) on the brute creation
is nonsense. Pain is not always an
evil to men or brutes. Needless pain
should always be avoided. Not to
avoid it is sin. But taken together
the service of man is direct benefit to
that part of the brute creation which is
capable of it. They live longer, and
more comfortably, in our service than
in freedom. The fact that some brutes
are made capable of domestication
seems to prove design. Now, if COM
paratively slight and brief pain makes
them more serviceable to us, and often
less dangerous to each other, it stands
to reason that we have a right to intlict
it. We must either kill the surplus
males young or mutilate them, in
many cases. Which practice gives
them the greater chance of enjoyment?
A dead animal can not enjoy anything.
1t is for our interest to be kind to our
to tame and train them in the
kindest possible ways. Inhumanity to
brutes is folly as we'll as sin. But the
operations referred to really reduce the
sum total of pain, or increase the sum
total of enjoyment, in nearly or quite
every case. This is especially true in
dehorning cattle. 1t does not, in all
cases, make them entirely harmless,
but as rule it takes away the DISPOSE
ton, rs well as the power, to infiict Sc
rious injury upon each other, or on
mankind.
