1t is not a universally recognized fact
that harsh usage of the horse-hv
which we mean harsh. loud language
used to the animal, Jerking its mouth,
etc. impairs the animals usefulness
or rather shortens its usefulness
Watch a horse that is being sworn AT
and screamed at by Il driver who seems
to be upon the very verge of insanity;
watch the animal rs It's mouth is jerked
by cruel driver; watch him as he is
whipped for stumbling, or some other
similar offense. You will see that the
horse is confused and laboring under
great nervous excitement: and nervous
excitement is injurious TO anything on
earth that is capable of feeling it. To
do that to a horse which leads TO
nervous excitement, therefore, is like
setting fire to valuable property. Don't
swear at the horse. don't scold, don't
jerk its mouth, don't whip unreason-
ably. More can be got out of the ami
NAL by kindness than by cruelty

Hard flint, crushed or ground, will
some day be placed on the market for
the use of poultrymen in providing grit
for fowls. 1t is true that nearly all
sections have gravel. brt gravel is worn
hy the elements inSo round shapes, or
rather the sharp edges are taken off.
The object in swallowing hard sub
stances by the fowls is to secure sharp
cutting material, and ordinary gravel
does not supply their wants. Many
persons use oyster shells, reduced by
grinding or pounding, but shells are too
soft and dc. not fully serve the purpose
required Flint is the best material. as
it always presents sharp edges, no mat
ter how fine it may be in condition.

A STUDY OF PLANTS.
The Wherefore of the Remarkable Nu'
triton of Young Grass.

The recent discovery that the early
product is the most profitable applies
not only to animals, but to crops The
two-year-old steer, the yearling or
the three-months lamb. the broileI
chicken, the two-year-old COW are al;
now indispensable for full profit of
their rearing and feeding. And SO il
is with the fruit, the vegetables and
the grass. The cows on the fresh
young grass show by the abundant
milk and rich, golden, high-fiavored
butter that their feed is just what
they require. But few farmers or
dairymen really know why this is 81,
believing that such grass is too full of
water and really deficient in nutriment
This is great mistake. 1t is the young
grass that is the most nutritious, nd
has less water in proportion to the
it. The fresh young clover has much
more of the albuminoids and the fat
than that in full blossom, and ripe
clover is still more deficient in nutri-
ment, the digestible matters having
been largely changed into indi-
gestible substance. Young grass
has the same proportion of nu-
triment over full-grown grass as
clover has, and in this we may find
the reason why, as the season advances,
the cows fall off in yield and the milk
is less and less rich. And in the late
summer when tie second growth comes,
it is this superiority of the new-grown
grass to which the increased flow of
milk and the higher yield and quality
of butter are due. Everyone knows of
these facts, but not of the cause of
them. There is no food better for q
COW than the clippings of the lawn
grass, which is always young and ten
der and rich in nltriment. 1t is COM
monty thought that this young grass
contains an excess of water. Not so.
1t has an excess of sap, but as the flow
ing sap of the maple pours from the
tree in spring it is rich in sugar, and
while there is more water in the tree,
this water is saturated with the most
nutritious elements. A plant can only
take in food dissolved in water, and
thus when it is growing most rapidly,
and is in its most nutritious condition,
it must have the most water in it. but
this water is only the vehicle which
carries the nutritive matter. Thus the
more water the more solid nutriment

HOMEMADE W4EELHOE.
An Excellent Tool for the Cultivation O
Garden Crops.


Garden Crops.
send you pencil sketch of a wheel
hoe l made last spring, 1t is an excel
lent little tool for the cultivation OF
garden crops, especially in small gar
den where it is hardly practicable to
use horse and cultivator, and where
vegetables are planted close together,
such as onions, etc. In the onion
patch can do as much work with it as
five men can with horse. 1t is light
and easily handled.
The soil should be free from stones
or rubbish and this is Just the way a
garden should always be. 1t should
not be allowed to bake No wheelhoe
can be successfully used in crusted soil.
Work as soon after rain as the
ground will crumble nicely.
The wheel is off of moving machine
and is eight inches in diameter. The
axle is eight inches long. The cut

K inches long, and about one-eighth
of an inch thick, and bent as shown in

and is capable of pulping about forty
eight bushels of potatoes an hour, In
both these machines the rasping sur
faces are kept clean by the action Of
small Jets of water projected with
some force.
AS the washed potatoes arc passed
through one of these machines, the
pulp and wash water are run off into
tubs, and after the coarser particles
have been deposited, the milky liquid is
drawn off into other tubs, and the
starchy matter allowed to settle: or, as
in large factories, the pulp may be
rubbed and washed through u series of
sleeves, ranging from coarse wire gauze
to fine haircloth. After repeated wash
ings with fresh water in the tubs, to
separate the gummy aud fbrous mat
tiers, the starch granules are finally al
lowed to settle, and after the water has
been drawn off the pasty mass of
starch and water is run off into long
wooden troughs, slightly inclined,
wherein the paste gradually hardens as
the water drains off. When hard
enough, it is cut into blocks and put on
shelves in warm room to dry out
With good management, from seven
teen pounds to eighteen pounds of clear
starch can be obtained by these simple
means from 100 pounds of average po-
tatoeS.

SHEEP SHEhRlNGS.

Ten good sheep are better than thirty
poor ones.
DO NOT attempt to keep too many
sheep on the pasture.
DOES warm weather favor the growth
of wool? asks an inquirer. Certainly
IT is of no use to expect profit from
early lambs unless they are given the
best of care.
Wool when first taken from the
sheep looks better and weighs heavier
than it ever will afterwards,
In England the fiockmasters change
the feed of the flock quite often, ant
even change the pastures.
THE flock that is regularly fed ant
watered and properly housed from
storms will produce the best fleeces.
THERE is no call in the market fol
thin sheep or lambs. AT least the cal
is not very loud. not loud enough to in
dictate profit.
TIMOTHY hay for sheep is like a fence
rail as compared to clover. Besides i
it is not cut until the straw becomes
ripe il is dangerous to lambs.
WILL not the production of good nut
ton be over done? asks correspon
dent Not in your life. friend, and W,
have not the slightest idea how young
you are either.

HORSE.TRAiNlNG.
The Keguiar Routine They Are Com
pelled to Undergo.


One popularity of the economy OF the
training stable is that, except when ateN-
crcise. the horses are brought up on the
solitary system" Each box is isolated
from the rest. and though there Is a
connecting door. it is only opened at
the hours when grooming and cleaning
are going on: thus the inmates can not
converse as every horse nkes
to do with their neighbors and
so derive that relief from ennul
which the mere presence of another OF
its kind seems TO give to these sympa-
thetic though undemonstrative Great
ures.
Routine is the essence of the system
The work set them may be varied. but
the horses are like an eight" in train
ing; so much so. indeed, that each horse
has its particular place in the string
when at exercise Sunday is the only
day that differs from the others; for
then the horses do not go out One
result is that they become exceedingly
bored with training and its conse-
quent isolation.s This probably accounts
for the extraordinary fondness which
some of them develop for other animals
which are allowed TO share their box
Lancrcost, who was poisoned at Ascot
in 1872 had dog for his inseparhble
companion, and there is n story that
this dog was once stolen as "A precau'
ton preliminry to MODELLING" the horse
but that the dog escaped and found its
way back to the horses box.
Roughly speaking, work in the stables
begins at daybrcak, earlier in winter
later in summer, when the horses are
groomcd and fed. and the boys get theii
breakfast. The first string" are then
ridden out to exercise, and made to
walk, galIop or cantar for two and a
half or three hours, They are then
thoroughly groomed and fed again, after
which they are left perfectly quiet and
alone. while the second string go out

Machinery.
Some time ago the necessity for de-
vising some means of making use of the
large Quantity of understandable po-
tatoes that had accumulated in the
city and that were held in the interior
because of the lack of a remunerative
market, led to the discussion of the
feasibility of manufacturing starch
from the surplus tubers. Several es-
adjustments were put in operation,
and farmers all over the state were in
quiring as to the necessary machinery,
cost of operation, methods, etc.
The process is so simple and the
mechanism so inexpensive that there is
nothing to prevent potato growers all
over the state who are threatened with
a surplus from engaging in the making
of starch. The New England Home
stead gives short account of the oper-
alton, and it is reproduced here for the

JAY HUTCHISON'S DEATH.

The Salt Lake Herald of Aug. Bird,
contains the following account of Jay
Hutchison's, death which occurred a
week ago yesterday:
On Sunday, as the 6-year-old son OF
B. T. Hutchinson was playing about
the shaft Of the Yellowstone mine. at
Pennington, Willard county, he fell a
distance Of 40 feet.
When the hands brought the body
of the little boy out they believed
every bone in his body was broken,
but mIraculonsly the little fellow had
escaped any injuries except broken
skull. He was brought TO this city
yesterday. and Drs. Pinkerton and
Smith performed an operation look
ing to his relief, but the little fellow
expired at Ills last night.
Jay Hutchinson was a bright boy
and great favorite among the miners
OF the camp, and his cheerful face
will be greatly missed.
The family has the sympathy OF
Mankato friends in this sad affection.
Jay was a remarkably bright child
and was growing up TO be strong,
healthy boy He will be remembered
by many of our citizens as having
been in the drug store with his father
a great deal, when the latter resided
here.
