Educating Riding Horses.

Educating Riding Horses.
Captain Brand has recently issued
little work on the training and edu-
cation of riding horses, which contains
many points of interest. Thus he de-
scribes the gaits of saddle horses:
The legitimate gaits are the walk,
trot, canter and gallop. The maneu-
vering trot is at the rate of eight miles
an hour. Slow trot is at the rate of
six miles an hour. Trot out is at the
rate Of eight miles an hour.
The canter is at the rate of eight
miles an hour and is generally used for
individual instruction.
Maneuvering gallop is at the rate of
twelve miles an hour.
The full or extended gallop is at the
rate Of sixteen miles an hour.
The charge is at full speed and is
regulated by the speed of slower
horses.
The walk is gait of four distinct
beats, each foot being planted in reg
ular order of succession.
The trot has two distinct beats; the
springing diagonally from one p air of
feet to the other; between the steps
all the feet are in the air.
Then on the training of the horse
for saddling purposes, the captain is
equally wise. Thus:
The horse is made obedient and gen.
tie, and his good qualities best devel-
oped by patience, kindness, and en-
couragement, and above all fearless
ness; punishment should be resorted to
only when absolutely necessary. No
punishment should be administered to
horse in anger. Under harsh treat
ment he will first become timid, then
sulien, and at length violent and I'M
manageable.
AS one horse is apt to be governed
by the actions of another, we'll trained
horses that are Indifferent to sights
and sounds should be interspersed
among the new ones until they are also
accustomed to the sounds of trum-
pets, beating of drums, tinkling of
sabers, etc.
Every action of the rider should
tend to induce full confidence that no
harm is intended and that nothing but
kind treatment is to be expecte d.
The horses balance and his light
ness in hand depend largely OH the
proper carriage of his head and neck.
A young horse will usually try to re-
sist the bit, either by bending his
neck to one side or by setting his jaw
against the bit, or by carrying his
nose too high or too low. Bending
lessons will serve to overcome this
habit and make the horse confor M to
the movements of the reins and yield
easily to the pressure of the bit

French POTATO Growing.

It will, no doubt, be within the
recollection of those of our readers
who take an interest in potato grow
ing, that mention was made of
method of treating the seed-tubers, by
which it was stated that French
grower was able to obtain forty-two
tons per acre. AS I happened at the
time to be planting my late potatoes,
1 determined to try the experiment,
but, being very skeptical, tried it on
a very poor piece of ground-viz., an
old raspberry bed, which, of course,
was trodden very hard-and used as
seed the small potatoes which re-
NAMED after planting the other
ground, the sets being very small, and
weighing from half an ounce to an
ounce each.
The piece of ground was twenty-one
yards long by five and one-half yards
wide, and the potatoes were planted
in ten rows, allowing about twenty
inches between the rows, and from ten
to twelve inches between the sets.
planted the seed with manure in shall
low trenches, which were very diff cult
to make, owing to the hardness of the
ground, and before planting, in &C
cordance with the instructions given
in the standard, immersed the tubers
for twenty-four hours in a solution of
one pound of sulphate of ammonia and
one pound of nitrate of potash in five
gallons of water, and / allowed the
tubers to remain another twenty-four
hours exposed to the air so that the
germs might have time to swell. They
were planted on April g. and were
taken up on September Il, and gave
return of fifteen and one half bushels
I may add that the soil is heavy clay,
and has not been worked for three
years, and that very few of the pota-
toes were diseased, and the tubers
were decidedly above the average size.
Side by side with the above 1 planted
a well-worked piece of ground, twenty
one yards long and fifteen and one
half yards wide, with good sound
tubers of medium size, which gave me
a return of thirty bushels, very few
being diseased.
It will be seen at once that the seed
tubers which were soaked in the solu-
ton gave a return at the rate of 651
bushels to the acre. whilst the others,
though much larger tubers, and on
superior soil, yielded only at the rate
of 446 bushels to the acre, so that the
yield from the former was nearly so
per cent more than that from the lat
ter; and have no doubt that, if the
soil in the two cases had been of the
same quality and the tubers of the
same size, the crop from the form err
would have been still more abundant.
The chemicals cost me Is Sd. and
would recommend potato growers to
try the experiment next year with,
say, q quarter of their seed. and care
fully compare the result with the rest
of the crop.-John j. Milne in Farmer
and Stock Breeder.

THE RATTLEsNAKE.s BITE

So Deadly That But Few OF the Un--
fortunate Victims Recover.
Out of a thousand people bitten,
by rattlesnakes. - said T. D. Bourne
OF Palm Springs to the Pomona Pro-
gress writer the other day. Il am
sure that not fifty ever really recover.
So far as I know. and I have posted
myself thoroughly upon the subject
for over twenty years on the desert
in Arizona and Texas, there is no
known cure for rattlesnake poison IN.
spite of the fact that many people.
have said that they were cured by
whisky.
You may depend on it that when e.
man says he was cured of rattle
snake bite, though not necessarily q
liar he Is at least laboring under a
misrepresentation of the facts. There,
is small snake similar to the rattle
snake in appearance whose poison is
not so venomous and negroes bitten by
it place lime upon the spot or else
drink enough whisky to counterfeit
the poison. Whisky. if taken in a.
large quantity, goes directly into the
blood and counteracts the poison of
the snake. But the regular Arizona

George English-was riding along in

RATHER lying in the road ieaped at him
as he passed. 1t stuck to, his boot
leg. driving one of it's fangs clear
through the thick leather of his boot
through his trousers just escaping
the flesh. 1t required considerable
kicking to shake that snake off. and
when he was finally got rid of he
started in pursuit. My friend had
faced bullets in the army with non
chalance. but his hair stood on end
when he saw that snake coming. and
he jammed spurs into his nag and
didr stop until he had gone quar-
ter stretch. He knew as we'll as
what an awful thing rattle snake poi

literally full of rattlesnakes. and only

animal heat is all out of your pork,
and before it hardens, pack it down
thus: First have clean barrel we'll
hoped, and a piece of board nailed
inside the chine across the head below
to keep the latter from bursting out.
Set it under beam in your cellar. give
a coat of salt on the bottom of the
barrel, then layer of pork, then of
salt, and so on, filing the side spaces
as the barrel fills with pieces of pork
cut to suit, and pressing every second
layer gently with a maui so as to
render it compact When your pork
is all in, the space should be closely
filled with salt and left. Then fit
lid on the pork, on this strong cross
block, and cut piece of scantling to
reach from top of block to beam Of
cellar, and fit it in and wedge with an
ak as tight as you can we'll drive,
Tightening up twice week until the
brine forms and runs over the pork,
and it is done. In using, arrange so
as to have the brine cover the pork.
Use no water; it is that which makes
the pork rancid.-Farmers' Voice.
Straw Bee-Hives.
Mr.. Frank McNiver, of New JERSEY.
in the American Agriculturalist, gives
the following desert ption of the old
''straw bee hives" still used in some
parts of Germany: While the old
straw cone-shaped hive is referred
to in hundreds of works on bee-keep.
ing, and in encyclopedias, we do not
now remember of ever reading any di-
rection for, or description of, their
manufacture. It may be that authors
generally have considered the process
too simple to need desert bling, for
these hives are usually made of
braided straw forming ropes an inch
or two in diameter and these are lai d
around form of the required size, and
then skewered together to give solid
ity, and keep the hive in shape w her
removed. A full size straw hive will
hold about three peclzs, but they are
sometimes smaller. They have been
generally discarded because they af-
ford an excellent hiding place for the
worms of the bee-moth, and are very
difficult to keep clean, and in no way
superior to hives made of pine boards,
which are also cheaper and far more
convenient for dividing swarlns, re-
moving surplus honey, etc.
