YOUNG HORSES IN SURE.

Young horses on farm are sup
posed by some to do no good to the
land, and indeed many suppose they
do actual harm. My experience is
that though, Of course, they do not
improve land like other stock, they
do it good rather. have two
14acre fields half Of each field ten
years ago was good old-grass land,
and the other half of each field was
bad, bare, messy, new-grass land.
For ten years these fields have been
pastured almost entirely by horses,
with an occasional meadowing of
one or the another. There has never
been put on to the land a single load
of anything but the stable manure
from my stables and the loose boxes
in the fields The new land has i'm
proved wonderfully, and the old land
is as good as ever. There are some
coarse patches in the places where
the horses stand for shelter, and
where they have poached the land
near the gates and boxes, but with
these exceptions there has been a
marked ameioration of the grass
over the whole of the fields Where
cattle and sheep are pastured with
horses, there is no fear whatever Of
any harm being done; the pastures
will be eaten down evenly, and what
is passed over by the horses will be
eatenb by the beasts and sheep. Where
horses are mischievous on farm is
in gnawing the gates, fences, and
trees, but with little care this may
be guarded against. Rails and
gates should be well tarred, and if
valuable trees are liable to be barked,
little wire netting nailed round to
the height of three feet will protect
them. 1t is the top bar of gate
that generally suffers from young
horses teeth, and where the owner
does not desire to have his gates
tarred, a strip or two of metal nail
ed along the top will prevent
damage being done American Gull

FARMERS PROFITS IN POULTRY.

Farmers so often complain that it
does not pay them to sell eggs and
chicken meat in their locality, as the
prices in the home market are so
small that the cost OF production is
barely reached While it is true that
the prices at home are as a rule
hardly worth working for, the fact
remains that if the farmers in each
county would combine and ship
their produce, they could realize bet
ter prices. Suppose a farm poultry
club would be organized in each
county, and secretary or manager
appointed, whose duty would be to
each week go among the farmers and
gather up what eggs and chickens
they would have and ship the same
to the city markets, the cost of
transportation to be divided pro
rata among the shippers; it would
not be long before every farm would
be engaged in the work. For
instance, while the price of eggs was
thirty-two cents a dozen in Phila-
delphia, | noticed in local paper in
Berks county, that the home market
quoted them at eighteen cents a
dozen. That was all the farmer
could get for them, and he had to
peddle them about at that Now.

had an organization with a team,
and divided the sections OF the
county into six, so that each week
the team would get around, see

ABARBAROUS Custom.

The arguments against the rude
practice of docking horses tails,
might meet with more consideration
in this Christian land if the gentle
danes who countenance the practice
were instructed as to the origin OF
the custom. During the time War
rem Hastings was governor OF India,
over a century ago, the English were
first shocked by encountering this
cruel fashion, originated by the saw
age Tartars in the Thibetian Noun
tains. SO repulsive did it seem to
our good Anglo.Saxons, that they
not only refused to buy horses thus
deformed, but actually paid the
mountaineers a bounty to induce
them to forgo the practice. And
now, O world of Inconsistency, it is
England which has persuaded the gen
tie American to take up,as the height
of fashion, this rude and barbarous
mode, long since discarded by these
mountain savages. Shall we be
obliged to import missionary from
the savages to buy us off?-[N. Y.

PATERSON, N. j.. July 31.-A defalca-

discovered by United States Bank
Examiner George w. Stone in

complaint against Abraham Pardon,

to the county Jail. The money was
taken from four packages containing
$1,000 each. Ten-dollar bills were alb

one-dollar bills. The bank is insured
with the Fidelity and Casualty compa-
ny of New York for $4,000, leaving a
loss to the bank of only s65o, which on
Saturday was charged to profit and

teller is SO years old and unmarried.
He has been connected with the
bank for twenty years and some
years ago was cashier of it. He has al
ways been considered an upright man

of the money and asked that he be com.
