A New Way of Breaking Colts , From the DhvIou Journal, Wlion in Kentucky last week we nay a two vear coit urote a-aa broke ia half an hour, to that he worked us' amiably an a trained horse. The colt had never been bridled. He was attached jo a cur ricle called a 'break-dray," and put through netonishingly quick. The break dray U nothing more than a strong broad-tread dray, with long shafts, the tail omittod, aud a spring neat between the wheels. Tho liar ;ie 8 wad gtroDg and eo arranged over the hips as to prevent the possibility nf high kicking, and the colt'was hitched so far from the dray that his heel could i.ot possibly reach the driver. The process of hitching was, of course, very delicate, as a colt is excessively ticklish, and is apt to let his heels fly awkwardly. All being ready, one man held the colt, and unothor took the beat and reins , The colt was then let to plunge as he pleased. The break dray which was so broad that up 69tting fccmed out of tho question was iiushed upon the colts, and the colt pushed eitiowuyt until he started. A few plunges settled him, He went as lie pleased tip hill and down, and so on, until he fiunallv struck a sober trot, and was thoroughly broke. The confused look of that colt was pitifully amusing. , ...... Mr. Bob Strader was fciving di rections, and ujioa one of the breakers raising his hand to ship tho Cull to urge him, Mr. Stradcr said : Don't do that. Never uriko a cult when you are. breaking him. Push bim sidewaya, ot any war- Let him go just where te ill and hfw he will. J,et him fall down if he will, but don't strike him." When the colt waa taken out ol the shalts he wa as wet as if he bad Iwwn ia water, and n child could have handled him. IIo had not been ftruck a blow. The dray, we liclicve, was invented by ixv Stradcr. - i' )i'v,,i' I, n;tt,jfl k ( t ... ti( t i m !,! . Mv. fill I't t''.t nn'fkf ..

We pro poso to make producers of onr trad ers. ... , ' Tlis is tlio moaning cf our eocalled war on tlio middlemen only this snd nothing more. We do not pro pose lo dojf this as the monopolists accomplish, their ends by invoking the aid of the governments State and Federal, but wo propose 10 do it by our own legitimate acts. We do it not by a direct interference witli the business middlemen, but by simply attending to our own. Patrons of Husbandry. If there ia oue class of middlemen that tha people are watcliinx close ly, it is those professional office-seek ers who ImyA slipped in t the Order merely to advance their personal as pirations. All overt'e West this class have been specially singled out by the Urmers, and their movement received oroper attention' lhese ollice-seekcrs have had their day. Tliry will never be able again to con trol the masses by packed conventions and other tricks, that is, as long as pur Order lives, aud the impression now very generally prevails that it has become a permanent institution in the country. Exchange. , Necromancy. It is worthy of remark that necromancy, or attetnpt ing to conjure up the spirits of the dead, is not original with modern spiritualists or spiri. rappers. It was among the heathenish practices of the Canaauites and afterwards existed In Greece and Thcssnly. It is condemned in Scripture, nnd it ii no less an sbotninatiou now than in ancient times.

Look out for cho'era, this is the s3sson for it ; when you see a chicken a little droopy audits comb' getting dark remove it at once and doctor it for cholera : its discharges are green and it allowed lo run loose wduld spiead the disease. As a preventive I use a hand full of salt twice a wee 4? in a wash basin full of bran mixed with a little meal, and three timos a week give corn at nijfhr, on whijh pour a little coal oil, just enough to cent every grain und no more. My neighbors all around have been los ing their chickens both ycung and old, and I vs lost but one, and that was one of my imported Brahmas, she was affecti! so i iflcrcntly frotnf other cases l'va seen t.iut she died before I knew it was cholera ; none have died since.
