THE HORSE.
A writer in tlie Pennsylvania Funner ]
present* some startling facts upon the
subject of the Horse, in that State. Let
the calculation be made for other States, ,
in the same ratio, and tire immense cost
of horse flesh to the people of this coun
try will be found almost to surpass belief.
What a field is opened for the employ
ment of labor-saving machinery, the
steam engine, &c.:
“From some rooently published sta
tistics, I learn that there are in Penn
sylvania 352,057 horses and mules. Of
this number, perhaps 52,057 are em
ployed in cities and towns for other than
agricultural purposes, leaving 300,000
for the use of the farmer. At the pres
ent price of horse provender, the average
daily cost of feeding a working horse
• would be fully H3J ets. Assuming this
lo be correct, the daily axpenditure for
horse food in Pennsylvania is SIOO,OOO,
•r $30,500,000 per annum.
The average lifetime of the horse is 1
about nim years, and the average oostof
tors keeping for that time $1004.84.
Shoeing, medical attendance, grooming, J
&c., not included.
The average first cost of the 300,000 I
horses used in Pennsylvania for agricul
tural purposes is not less than SSO each,
making an aggregate of 15,000,000, di
viding which by nine, (the average term
of horse life,) and xvn have $ 1 ,()b(i,of)o;’
principal and interest, as the annual out
lay for horse flesh in our State, the whole
of which is to be charged to the expense
acceount of our agricultural operations.
Let us now recapitulate :
Cost Of feeding 300,000 horses one
year, $30,000,000
Average annual purclm. • , 1,000,600
Average annua] eo.-t i*!’ -lineing,
grooming, medicine, etc. S3O each, 0,000,000
Making an aggregate of $14,100,000 j
as the sum total of the amount which the i
people of this Commonwealth pay annu- !
ally for liorso flesh alone. At even the
presonthigh rates of produce, it is equal
to more than the entire value of the wheat
and oats of the State.
From tlieabovo statements, wo find
that moro than 33,000 horses die annu
ally. the average weightof which may 1> ■
set down at 800 lbs. each, or 20,4011,00(1
lbs. ofidlesh, hones, Ac., abounding in j
nitrogen, the phosphates, &c. It is as- I
sorted upon good authority, that the I
body of a dead horse, cut to pieces, and !
mixed with ten loads of uiuck, becomes,
in a single season, compost of the most
valuable character. If this be correct,
nn<t,l believe it is, we ought to have
from the carcases of the 83,000 horses,
330,000 loads of compost, or sufficient to
manure 30,000 acres annually.
Now, if the carcases of all the horses
that die were taken enre of as above sug
gested, what a vast addition to the fer
tilizing material of the State would they
afford. Enough manure would he pro
duced by them to add 600,000 bushels
to the wheat yield of the State—an item
certainly worth looking after. Hut it is
more than probable, that, not one carcase
out of a hundred is ever cut up and
mixed with muck, or even buried.
Generally, they arc dragged to some out
of the way place to furnish a banquet for
the corn-thieving crows, or more than
worthless dogs.”
A Valuable Variety or Wheat.—
We have been furnished by Klwin E.
Pratt, Esq., of (.jucenstown, Md., with
the following statement of the product
of a grain of white wheat. We had a
sample of this wheat at our office some
two years ago, hut if wc remember aright
we had no particulars of it, and did not
notice it; but wc are told that some of
the host farmers of tlm State, who ex
amined the sample left with us, applied
for some of it for their sowing, which
could not be supplied at the time. Mr.
Pratt will, we believe, liavo some for
Nalo after the next harvest: —American
Farmer.
“Sowed Friday, Oct. 12th, 1840,
one groin of white wlmat; gathered the
same Juno 26th, 185(4, yielding 1960
grains; sowed again Oct. 18th, 1850,
1933 grains, some of it being lost,, and
gathered June 16th, 1851, 3 pints, of j
which J pint was destroyed in the sheaf
by mice, leaving 2| pints, which was ,
sowed Oct. 23d, 1851, gathered June I
27th, 1852, Ij bushels, weighing 04A ,
lbs. per bushel; sowed again (let. 20th! i
1852, I.J bushels, and gathered 24 th '
of June, 1853,22 f bushels. This wheat
has been sowed in land that would not
produce more than 11 barrels of corn to
the acre, and two years seeding on land
that would not produce more than one
barrel—all the time corn land, and no
fallow. Mr. Pratt sold Dr. Turpin 10 I
bushels, [iu 1 was informed that ho made
180 or more bushels from the same.
Mr. P. at this time bus 100 bushels of it
sowed.”
To Keei* Milk Sweet.—A. Boyd, a
correspondent, informs us, that he has
practiced a peculiar method with much
success of preserving milk sweet in the
pans. It simply consists in placing a
• piece of new hammered iron, or three
twelve penny nails in each tin pan, than
pouring the warm milk on them. lie
believes that electricity has something to
do with producing tile result. Ho had
tried many, experiments before lie hit
upon this one, which he found to pre
serve the milk sweet for a longer time
than other plans tried by him.
Box*.—l will inform yoiir readers
how to prevent hots from injuring
horses:—Take a bundle of ryo, cut it up
very short, nay one-fourth of an inch,
mix with wheat bran and wet it; add
half a tea cup of sugar, half an ounce of 1
alum, and give the horse u feed of this
every three months, and ho will never
Vs vestured with worms.

llow he Converted a Jew. —A “raal
hard sinner,” a native of the Emerald
Isle, went to confession the other day to
his parish priest, and so shocked the
clergyman with a recital of his sins, that
he exclaimed:
1 “My son, did you ever do a good deed
1 in your life V”
“I did,” said Pat, “I converted a
.Tew once.”
“How was that?” inquired the con-
I fessor.
“You see,” said Pat, “the long-nozed,
pork-aiting, murthcriug blaggard full
overboard, and I put after his carcase in j
j a bote. I seized him by the top-not, j
just as lie was going down the second
time, and pulled his head above the sur- j
face and says I,
‘lf I save you, will you be a Christ
ian ?’
‘I won’t,’ said he; and with that I
deposited his head ahoutthrccfcctunthor
| again. Pulled him up once moro, and
1 put the question anew,
‘Will you he a Christian ?’ to which j
he again answered ‘Mo,’ gruffly.’
“I give him another dip, and brought
him up puffing like a porpoise.”
‘Will you he a Christian now ?’
‘Y-e-s,’ says lie, and his teeth were
chattering for all the world like a mon
key that had burned his toes.’
‘Well;’ said I, ‘youarc now converted,
and you’d butter die in the faith;’ and so
saying, I held him unther until his spirit
had departed.’
It is about as difficult to learn what
view the priest took of this story, as it
is lo learn “what became of the sowl.”
Found ms Father. —“My son, can
you take a trunk for me up to the hotel V”
said a passenger stepping from a boat on
the levee, to a ragged looking youngster,
who sat balancing on the tail end of a
dray.
“Your son?” cried the boy, eyeing
him from head to foot. “Well, I’ll j
be dod dropped if I ain’t in luck.—
Here I’ve boon trying to find my daddy
for throe years, and all of a sudden up
OODIOS the old boss himself, and knows
mo right off. How aro you 7” stretching
out a muddy looking paw.
The traveler was non-plussed. Be
tween a smile and a frown, he inquired :
“What is your name sir?”
“My name ! So you don’t know.—
Well, it’s nothing for people in these
parts to have so many children that they
don’t know their names. My name is
William, hut some folks call mo ragged
Bill, for short. What the other part is,
I reckon you know, if you don’t you
must ax the old woman.”
And shouldering the trunk, he march
ed off towards the hotel, mumbling to
himself.
“Well, this is a go. The old gcmnian
come homo at last. Good clothes, big
trunk, must have the tin. Well, lam in
luck.”
Blitz amonu the Boys.— The pro
gress of Signor Blitz through the country
might he traced by observing the tricks
of the little codgers in the various towns
whore he may have sojourned. He was
lately in Hollidaysburg, and the Stand
ard says, all the youngsters you meet,
there aro now playing off ventriloquism
or slight of hand, tine hoy, the other
day, borrowed a stick of candy from n
comrade, to swallow it and pull it out of
his car. lie swallowed it, and then
twisted himself in various ways to ex
tract it, but at length informed his com
panion that ho had forgotten that part of
the trick.
A Sailor’s Idea or Prayer. — At the
moment when, on the 14th of October,
1797, the British fleet under Admiral
Duncan, and the Dutch fleet commanded
by Do Winter, wero about to engage,
two sailors, passing by Admiral Duncan’s
cabin, saw him on his knees.
“My eyes, Jack!” exclaimed one,
“what is the Admiral about there ?”
“Praying to Heaven,” replied the
other.
“ Praying for what?”
“ That the Lord give us victory.”
“Well, now, that's a blasted shame, j
Wo arc well able to lick them ourselves.
Besides, give the beggars a chance.”
limn Life Below Stairs.— Good I
Housshceper.—“What is the meaning j
of this venison steak on the butcher’s
book,,Bridget? I liav’ut seen it ou the
table.”
Gook.—“ Why, ye see, ma’am, it ;
was’nt for (he upper table at all; but;
Jeaiuos can’t hear mutton, so I had, to
get a bit 0’ veu’spn for liiiu.
itsf A bevy of little children were
tolling their father what they got at
school.—The eldest got grammar, geog
raphy, etc. The next got reading, spel
| ling and definitions. “And what do
you get, my little soldier ?” said the
j father to a rosy-checked little fellow who
was at that moment silly 'driving a ten- 1
penny nail in a door panel. “Me? oh
I gets read in’, spellin’ and spnnkins.”
It <T A cotemporary says 110 knows
another cotemporary who says he knows
a youth, who every time lie wishes to get
II glimpse at his sweetheart, has to “hol
ler lire” under her window. In the
alarm of the moment, she plunges her
head out. of the window, and exclaims—
“ Where?” He poetically slaps himself
on the bosom, snd exclaims—“ Here, my
Hangelina!”

COLUMBIAN GUANO.
subscribers would call the attention of
■ JL the Farmers of Montgomery county to the
above named article, and invite their attention
! to the analysis of Dr. W. S. Reese, State lu
siiector, as
COLUMBIAN GUANO.
The subscribers are now prepared to furnish
Farmers with the. above named article in any
quantities they may require. The Columbian
is a new article, of recent discovery and impor
tation, and seems to be just the thing our Farm
ers have long wanted.
From the analysis of Dr. W. L. Reese, State
Inspector, hereunto annexed, it is found to con
tain largely more of Bone I‘ho*iih<ite of Lime,
than any other Guano ever discovered. Almost
every Farmer is convinced that in order to get
his land in permanent productive order, phos
phates are absolutely necessary. There can be
no permanency without it.*
As it seems to be impossible to supply the de
mand for Bone Dust. Farmers need not, in our
judgment, have the least hesitation in Using the
Columbian as a substitute for Bone, as it con
tains nearly double as touch phosphoric acid as
the bone, and much cheaper in price, taking the
phosphoric acid as a basis. We ask a very
careful examination of the analysis of Dr. Iteesc:
