The GAIT OF THE HoRsE.-There
is hardly any question but that the
gait of the horse is largely influenced
by the driver. This is especially the
case with young horse that is being
trained to drive or work. If the young
horse, when first trained to work,
is put in the hands of a careless, slow
driver, the horse will soon acquire this
kind of gait, and if allowed to con-
tinue under this kind of treatment for
any considable time, habit will be
formed that will be hard to overcome.
A slow, trailing gait is really harder
for q horse. A moderately quick walk,
either with a load or when empty,
exhausts an animal less than snail's
pace.
Another item should be considered,
and that is when a horse is allowed to
fall;insa slow gait he becomes aged and
incapacitated long before his natural
time; his joints and sinews become
stiff aud contracted, and he is soon
incapable of properly performing the
work he should naturally be able to do.

GET RID OF THEM.

The stumps of trees left in fields in
tended for cultivation not only mar
the beauty of the fields; but seriously
incommodes farm operations. All
stumps, roots and grubs should be re-
moved from the soil where the land
is cleared, because it is economy OF
time and labor to do 80. The land
can be cultivated more thoroughly,
and labor-saving machinery employed
in planting, cultivating and harvesting
the crops.
Twenty years age, Hon. Alfred H.
Colquitt, president of the state agricul-
tural society of Georgia, urged the
farmers of the state to get rid of stumps
without delay, and suggested cheap,
simple and effective way of doing 80.
The only appliances required were
shovel, q little dry kindIing and sheet
iron cylinder large enough to slip
down over the larger stumps, the top
cone shaped, and terminating in a col
lar in which one or more lengths of
six or eight inch stove pipe may be
fitted. A hole is dug between the
roots on one side of the stump, and
partially under it, large enough to
start fire with the kindling. After
the fire is started, the iron cylinder is
slipped over the stump, the stovepipe
is added, and the arrangement acts as
a stove, burning the stump out com.
pletely. If the stumps afe old >and
dry, and the weather dry, the stumps
will burn without the addition of the
cone-shaped top and stove pipe. If
the stumps are green, half gallon OF
kerosene oil poured over the stump an
hour before lighting the fire will facili-
tate matters very much; but the top
and pipe, acting as draught, will do
more, and cause it to burn down in
the roots. This method is gaining
great popularity in England and
France. We call the attention of our
farmers to it, as the distinguished
Georgian advocated it 20 years ago.

AS TO RENTED FARMs.-Somebody
tells deal of truth in these six SEN
tences Never rent farm when you
can own one. The man who rents
farm must necessarily add much to
the premises from which he cannot
derive any benefit. If he attempts to
crop a rented farm without doing JUS
tice to the land, he will suffer a loss as
well as the owner. There are many
improvements of the soil from which
the owner receives the benefit, in the
course of time, at the expense of the

Ra5" Ashes attract and hold moisture,
aud in large quantities keep grass
lands in good condition years after
they would have perished had the
field not been so fertilized. But in a
smaller way applications of ashes are
valuable, because their potash, united
with water, makes an excellent SOL
vent, releasing plant food that but for
this would not be available. On
mucky soil, as well as on sandy soil,
a dressing of ashes increases the effi-
cheney of all fertilizers of any kind
applied with them.

pdS The first eggs which hen lays
in spring have greater vitality and will
produce stronger chicks than those
laid later in the season, after the hens
has been partly exhausted
by continuous laying. Experienced
breeders understand this, and it is the
reason why they not only charge more
for the. earliest setting of eggs, but
choose these for setting when breeding
for their own yards.
