study the soil.

Every farmer should try to make a
yearly Improvement in his practice,
for without Improvement in methods
there will be no increase in profits.
Let the soil be made little better
every year. and the corresponding In
crease in the yield Of products will
comp ensate three or four times the
outlay, Or the other hand. If there
is a constant decrease in the fertility
OF the soil, the ability Of the farmer
to improve his soil by reason Of the
decreased yield in his crops will keep
him on the downward path. Study the

To Keen FIien OF Horses.

A writer In the EpItomist says:
take two or three small handfuls OF
walnut leaves, or pennyroyal, on which
pour two or three quarts Of cold wa
ter: let it infuse one night, pour the
whole next morning into kettle, and
boil for fifteen minutes: VIXEN cold, it
is fit for use. Moisten a sponge with
it, and before the horse goes out Of
the stable let those parts which are
most irritable be smeared over with
the liquid. Those who arc brutal
enough to dock the talk Of their
horses should az least be willing to
take a little pains 70 keep them COM
Portable By protecting them from
those insects their tails were intended
to brush away. and even horses fortu-
nate enough to remain as nature in
tended they should be fashioned will
greatly appreciate this thoughtful
care"
