Hckattiikson Hoiwkh.— 'The following
is a sure cure for scratches on horses:
Take some rosin, a piece of bees-wax, a
piece of mutton-tallow or lard, each ar
ticle being about the size of a hen’s egg;
then take a teaspoonful of blue vitrol,
and one of verdigris, which should bo
pounded line, and mix the whole togeth
er so as to make an ointment. ’lbis
ointment is good for burns, as well as a
sure cure for scratches.
Iml'Uovino Pastchks. -The quickest
way to improve pastures when short of
manure is to top-dress them, or to pas
ture sheep for a season, as these ani
mals will exterminate sue.ii weeds and
grasses as cows will not, eat. If Hus pas
ture cannot he given tip to the sheep,
pasture as many sheep as cows, and it
will he found that the pasture will sus
tain as many cows as when they were
pastured alone, while the fertility of the
pasture will allow an increase in cows
of at least ten percent, annually.
Makki.no Siikhi*. Marking sheep is
best done with Viinelian red —a cheap
paint, only a few cents a pound, and
one pound will mark 1,000. Take a
pinch of dry powder, and draw the in
closing Ih lllll l> and lingers through the
wool at the spot yon wish to mark,
loosening the powder as yon do so, and
it will combine with the oil in the wool
and make a bright red mark that the
rain will never wash out, and which,
without injuring the wool, will endure
from one shearing to another, while it
can readily he cleansed mil by the man

Snsn.iTim.i; Mias, We do not know
who wrote the following story, and per
haps it is not true: “A young lady was
occupied in lending her plants in a
small eon-ei \ alory, which was par
lilioned oil' by a lattice work Iroin the
hennery, so as to afford light and
warmth to the latter. While so occu
pied she hegan to sing, when all the
jowls, some ”. r > in mimher, coni/regaled
hehind the lattice, and seemed much
to enjoy the music, and kept, jerking
their heads from one side to the other
as if keeping time. <hi slopping the
singing they ceased their motions, hnl
renewed them immediately when it
was resumed. This exlraordimuy
phenomenon was wilneused hy several
other nersons, and created much as
tonishment.”
Ki:i:e Stock oi rm Tin; Kim. ns. In
nearly all the stale the glass-growing
lands are already Imre, and this with
the warm weather will surely tempi the
farmer to open his ham-yard gates and
let his cattle into the fields. The notion
that the stock will pick up a consider
able part of their living, thereby saving
for market one or two joints of hay, the
proceeds of which may he needed to
liny seeds, fertilizers, and farming tools,
coupled with a hope that the grasslands
will not he much damaged and the be
lief that the cattle and sheep will he
benefited, all conspire to lead a farmer
to do what he knows he ought not to do.
It is a strong temptation, hnl it should
he resisted and overcome. Whatever
excuse there may he for feeding mow
ing-lands in the tall, there is none now.
The winter killed, dry rowen, now on the
ground is good for nothing for stock and
no amount of it will save a ton of hay,
without taking from the value of the
animals; and it is ruinous to the grass
roots to have cattle running over them,
•ninehing thegroimd full of holes, grind
ing them to pieces, and leaving them
uncovered. Keep the slock out of tin'
fields. If yon think your animals need
exercise and a chance to rub oil’ their
old hair or that a little browse will do
them good, let (hem into a pasture or
a piece of woodland, hut keep them out
of your mowing as you would out ofyimr
corn-field. Mirror mol luinnrr.
Il iNni r. TTit; Coi rs. The horse sub
mits to man’s authority for the reason
that, he is made to believe man is
stronger, lie is kind and tractable from
being treated kindly and handled lov
ingly. What a horse is once taught, no
matter how young, it never forgets.
When the coil is running by its moth
er's side, it can he best taught valuable
lessons, Man’s strength can then easier
overcome it. The more yon talk to and
handle a coll the more it w ill know and
the kinder it will he. No one should
ever permit a coll to have (he mastery
in strength, consequently small boys
should not handle them until the coll is
entirely subdued in this respect. Nor
should a coll la ever hitched or led by a
halter which he can break. If he once
learns he can break his halter it w ill
take years to break him of the fault, ifl
il is i'vit cured. Hut hy kiiul handling!
mid playing wilhlhein which any one,
can enjoy who has a heart within him
they will ever after he easily caught,
kiiul in service ami more (rusting in'
danger or dillicnlty. When the colt ’
comes about yon novel abuse him, hut ,
with kindness educate a linniliatily with]
him. Thus he will he always gentle, |
and easily adapted to any work. There
will he no trouble in breaking in such a
colt, lie will nalnralh take toil. Hy
being treated viciously the coll can also
be taught mean tricks and vicious hab

Two Mmi Lash. The tendency of:
American farmers is to impure an e\- j
tent of land entirely out of proportion I
their means of impros ing it. Thousands j
of hard working cultivators of the soil <
keep themselves in a state of poverty 1
and distress through the insane idea of
of ow ning large farms, or of spending
their entire capital in the purchase of
adjoining acres, w hen those already pos- j
sessed are unproductive through the
lack of means for their proper culti
vation.
Such an injudicious course of con
trolling largo areas hy men of limited
means, is as though an individual
should buy a wagon for services be
fore he could command the price of
the horse to draw it; an though a mer
j chant should invest >iis all in a ware
house show-cases, counters and
: signs, with nothing loft to purchase a
! stock of merchandise; as though a
railroad corporation should expand its
entire capital stock and resources in
securing the right-of-way, steel rails,
sleepers and spikes, in the end finding
itself unable to procure the rolling stock
—■tin; engines.freight and passenger ears.
What does it avail a man to own two
or three hundred acres of uninmroved
land, if the deed has cost him all the
means at his command, or,even worse,
if lie has been obliged to make partial
payments in notes secured by mortgage?
How is property obtained at such a
cost to increase the comfort, happiness
or prosperity of the purchaser? Largo
farms, broad acres, herds of cattle and
(locks of sheep are perfectly legitimate
for those who possesses sullicienl cani
lal.to pay for them, but foi him who
has but limited means at his command,
a lew acres well tilled, with a little re
reversed capital for the purchase of
tools, implements, setds and improved
animals, is far the wisest, safest course.
Any farmer, who, in his ambition to
control a large farm, devotes its entire
capital to its purchase, thereby enslaves
himself and property for many years to
come, perhaps for life. He is obliged
to use Ids credit in the purchase of cat
tle, sheep and swine, paying far more
than their cash value and without the
choice of selection which a wcll-lillcd
purse will always command; ho is un
able to ditch, drain or fertilize his acres
at his best judgement would indicate,
simply because he has no means with
which to hire the necessary labor; he
has a millstone about his neck, in the
shape of increased taxes, and care of
long lines of fences, he can only half
cultivate his fields; his pastures grow
op to brakes and bushes; his buildings
become dilapidated; he is ( bliged to sell
his crops at the day of harvesting with
out any opportunity of taking advantage
of the markets.
