that they are not ofteuer in tears for all they

ker and a verdict of accidental death
rendered. Dreddan, who had given HIM

quickly a pool of water will stand after
/ avery rain The first illustration shows
! an Improvement on an improved
! hitching post which was originally de-
scribed in The Country Gentleman.
First the writer conceived the idea of
locating the post just outside the road
way, in the grass, using the double
swinging iron arm, with its snaffie, to
hold the horse off from the grass. This
works well with most horses, but some
will throw the arm completely up over
4 the top of the post, and SO get on to the
grass with all four feet. This is obviat-
ed by using the chain, as shown in the
cut. This permits the arm to rise just
far enough to reach the bride of the
horse, with play enough SO that he can
move his head freely, but does not per-
nit him to throw it over upon the 9th
er side Of the post.
This device of using an arm to keep
the horse away from the post accom-
/ plisSes more than the preservation of
the grassy sod. 1t keeps the horse from
gnawing and disfguring the post and
&rom rubbing his bride and other parts
IN his harness against it, often to the
FERROUS injury of the harness.

zion, here reproduced from The Prairie
Farmer, it will be seen that the appa-
ratus consists of link, A, and two

10 American and English varieties Of
gooseberries. Their relative vigor and
productiveness and the comparative size

We're found to be, ON the whole, less
vigorous and productive and more sub

ties. The varieties recommended for
general culture, in the order of their
value, are Lewis Roesche, Triumph,
